The Morning Rant: Minimalist Edition

That is an iconic photo of Israeli paratroopers at the newly liberated western wall of the Temple Mount, on which the Temple (Beit Hamikdash) stood. It was the second temple, built to replace the first, called Solomon's Temple which was destroyed by the Babylonians in 586 BCE. The second Temple was destroyed by the Romans in 70 CE, concurrent with the massacre of many Jews, and the beginning of the Diaspora...the flight of Jews from conquered Israel into the rest of the world.

That photograph is symbolic of the creation of the modern state of Israel, which in the span of six days in June of 1967, in response to a three-front war, expanded from an essentially indefensible strip of land along the Mediterranean to a large part of historical Israel. That state was created in part as a culmination of the political effort spearheaded by Theodore Herzl known as Zionism, and in part as a response to the Holocaust...the unimaginable destruction of 6,000,000 Jews in Europe.

But that wasn't the first time Jews had been murdered simply because they were Jews. That has been happening for more than 2,000 years. The Alexandrian riots in Egypt? 38 CE! European Jewry has been the target of countless riots and pogroms and wholesale slaughter, even before Hitler's final solution. And the Jews who remained in the Middle East were similarly persecuted.

Remember the Mumbai terrorist attacks in 2008? Those terrorists sought out the few Jews in that city and murdered six of them, including a Rabbi and his pregnant wife. In a country with more than one billion people, the terrorists looked for some of the 4,000 Jews!

Whatever the cause of this rabid and frankly insane drive to destroy Jews and Judaism, Israel is the lodestone of world Jewry, where we control our own destiny, where we can be comparatively safe, where we are not "other." That Israel is surrounded by enemies is not new to world Jewry. We have been surrounded our entire existence, but Israel is ours, and we are not beholden to anyone or anything. And look what Israel has created out of nothing! The country is a vibrant liberal democracy, a technological marvel, a social melting pot that draws people from around the world, and a bastion of Western thought holding back the savagery of backward cultures throughout the rest of the Middle East.

The military dominance of Israel was purchased with the blood of thousands of Israelis, lost in countless wars and military actions, and as many terrorist attacks perpetrated by its neighbors and by countries and terrorist organizations thousands of miles from Israel. The war against these heirs to Hitler and his Holocaust is never-ending, but there was a sense that Israel would always prevail...that the bloodthirsty haters of Jews and Judaism could be kept at bay with military might, technological prowess, and most of all a sense of unity of purpose; that all Israelis were in it together, that whatever their differences they would unite against the common enemy.

On Saturday that failed.

Whatever the reasons: hubris, arrogance, over-reliance on technology, incompetence, politics...the enemies of Israel finally succeeded in destroying the aura of invincibility that Israel has created. The vaunted Israeli army failed. The technology failed. The famous intelligence services failed.

If there can be anything good to come out of this horror, it will be an examination of all of these failures and a renewed commitment to the defense of Israel and Jewry. But that must also come with a sea change in the attitude of Israel towards the rest of the world. No longer can Israel afford the luxury of paying attention to the world's disapprobation when it confronts its enemies. No longer can Israel allow the existence of terrorist organizations on its borders, and if that means a world-wide media barrage of criticism and vitriol, then so be it. The lives of Jews are more important than the approval of newspaper editors ensconced in their high towers, safe from the guns and knives of savages intent upon their destruction.

And more important; the lives of Israeli soldiers are more important than the lives of their enemies. The rules of engagement for which Israel is famous must be relaxed. Israel's enemies use every evil construct imaginable to protect themselves from Israel's might: hostages, their own wives, children, schools, mosques, hospitals...all are shields from behind which these cowards attack. Israel must turn that on its head, and show the world that the death of a child being used as a shield is the fault of the coward behind the child, not the soldier who is defending his country from destruction.

And...sadly...Israel must not be swayed by the threat to the hostages. Yes, that is easy to write, safe in America. But the rules must change if Israel is to survive.

America can show Israel at least one thing that can be changed to prevent the unimaginable from happening again. In most of America we have a robust civilian culture of self defense, with guns a part of our lives. Israel does not have that culture, and the sad result of an unarmed population can be seen across southern Israel.

But...Israel will prevail. Of that I am confident. Judaism has survived more than 2,000 years of savagery directed at us, and we will survive this. We are unbelievably lucky and blessed that Israel exists, and it will take more than 7th century fanatics to destroy the oldest country on earth.

There are several ways to establish such a corridor to break the blockade:
1. Israel agrees to it
2. The WHO defeats Israel militarily and opens it themselves
3. Egypt agrees to it
4. The WHO defeats Egypt militarily and opens it themselves
5. The corridor is opened from the sea, defended and enforced with naval power. In real terms. this means the US agrees to it.

Of all those options, options 3 and 5 are the most likely, but none are likely at this moment in time.

This is generally true, and all Western armed forces suffer from forgetting it. In the modern world, it takes genuine courage - and the exposure of one's self to tremendous personal risk - to say, "My people and my soldiers are more important and more valuable than your people and your body count is not important to me. The exchange rate is undefined. You cannot divide by zero."

There are already reports of gangs of muslims hunting for Jews in Australia, large pro-Hamas demonstrations in western countries around the world and we are sitting here with a wide open southern border and it is anyone's guess who has been pouring in over the last 3 years. And we have an "intelligence" and law enforcement establishment that is more interested in hunting conservatives and parents who don't want their children indoctrinated with sexual perversion than catching real terrorists.

I'll be surprised if we don't see acts of violence from terrorists here and other places in the west. A war for civilization is upon us.

Total war is historically unusual because it is very, very hard to achieve. Only existential war - and most war isn't - rises to that level. Total war is not just one-sided or a military affair. Total war is just that: total. Everything is committed to the struggle, homefront and abroad. Nothing exists outside the war and everyone is a combatant and everything is a legitimate military target. Unconditional surrender requires unconditional victory, and unconditional victory requires unconditional and total commitment at all levels over significant periods of time. Most war does not rise to that level.

This war in Israel *is* existential and total. Even if the Israelis don't treat it as such, its enemy does and so it is.

Hamas looked at things like the exchange of Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit for 1,027 Palestinian prisoners in 2011, and concluded that you could control Israeli behavior by taking hostages.

In retrospect, that was an error by Israel.

74 Israel must turn that on its head, and show the world that the death of a child being used as a shield is the fault of the coward behind the child, not the soldier who is defending his country from destruction.

And...sadly...Israel must not be swayed by the threat to the hostages. Yes, that is easy to write, safe in America. But the rules must change if Israel is to survive.
Posted by: CBD at 11:00 AM

Sadly you are completely correct, allowing the UN or any other country to tell Israel that they must 'use restraint' in their 'proportional response' is completely insane.

Or a 'proportional response' must include the the deaths of anyone living in places that attack Israel.
This includes those hiding in palaces elsewhere on earth, get to it Mossad.

India has a sizable Muslim minority and an aggressive, nuclear armed Islamic state to its north. The last thing they should want is Muslim terrorists operating with impunity at scale. And since they no longer answer to Russia (they were never really "unaligned," they were pragmatically aligned with the USSR), it is definitely in their best interest - for practical reasons, if not humanitarian ones - to oppose this kind of action.

I'm not sure "failed" is the right word. I think more like deliberately looking the other way. I'm sure the Israelis had advance notice of the attack. But they probably thought it was another one of the Hamas smash-and-grabs, so they didn't pay much attention to it. God forbid they be seen reacting disproportionately to terror attacks!

I hope I'm wrong, but I don't think Israel is the country we think it is. I think its been overrun with leftist commie maggots who have no allegiance to anything other than leftist communism. Sound familiar? They would rather Bibi be killed or embarrassed than Hamas.

131 In this revolution, research has become central; it also becomes more formalized, complex, and costly. A steadily increasing share is conducted for, by, or at the direction of, the Federal government.

Today, the solitary inventor, tinkering in his shop, has been over shadowed by task forces of scientists in laboratories and testing fields. In the same fashion, the free university, historically the fountainhead of free ideas and scientific discovery, has experienced a revolution in the conduct of research. Partly because of the huge costs involved, a government contract becomes virtually a substitute for intellectual curiosity. For every old blackboard there are now hundreds of new electronic computers.

The prospect of domination of the nation's scholars by Federal employment, project allocations, and the power of money is ever present and is gravely to be regarded.

Yet, in holding scientific research and discovery in respect, as we should, we must also be alert to the equal and opposite danger that public policy could itself become the captive of a scientific-technological elite.

142 86 Is the gun ban because they don’t want Israeli Arabs with guns? There are millions of Arabs who are Israeli citizens.
Posted by: Montec at October 10, 2023 11:18 AM (wP/BU)

So in other words it works the same way as every other gun ban. "If we outlaw them so no one can have them the criminal murderers will be unarmed!"

In reality, it actually means law abiding, peaceful citizens are sitting ducks for criminal murderers who will have guns, legal or not, because they are criminal murderers.

147 I'm not sure "failed" is the right word. I think more like deliberately looking the other way. I'm sure the Israelis had advance notice of the attack.

I think that what will come out is that Israel had an agent in the senior levels of Hamas who provided accurate information about Hamas attacks for years (thereby killing a lot of Hamas agents), who was doing that specifically to set things up for October 7th.

If you think you have an absolutely reliable source of information within the Hamas leadership, you get sloppy.

Who knows what is true and what isn't.

The larger point is when you are distracted by Ukraine (in whatever way that means), you are not focused on what you should be focused on.

This is a big cultural problem for the West. When you get distracted by liberal things (DEI, Gaia, etc.) you are not focused on those things that your organization should be focused on.

Was Israel distracted by Ukraine - I don't know. But I suspect many in Israel were - because many here in our country are.

...Then time passes, and we are eventually in a war, which would be World War I. At that time they record on their minutes a shocking report in which they dispatched to President Wilson a telegram, cautioning him to see that the war does not end too quickly."

So if we murdered a bunch of Turks to take back Constantinople and the Byzantine Empire, that's perfectly acceptable?

If modern Christianity had a significant political side, like Islam does, it would be demanding returning Egypt to the Copts and western Anatolia to the Greeks.

And as an amusing ancedote on the latter point, after the Ottoman Empire feel apart at the end of WWI, Greece invaded to liberate those territories. They did well until their King died from a infected monkey bite (seriously). Without his leadership their war effort feel apart and the Greeks were ethnically cleansed from Anatolia.

American Jews have changed religions to Communism in large numbers (call them "JINOs" or JJ/CBD's "self-gassing"). It's true in Israel too. It's just a lot stupider there because proof that the Pallies are who conservatives say they are is out in the open every day.

258 The country is a vibrant liberal democracy, a technological marvel, a social melting pot that draws people from around the world, and a bastion of Western thought holding back the savagery of backward cultures throughout the rest of the Middle East. - CBD

This quote resonated with me because it emphasizes Israel is a fundamental part of the Western world; they are more than an ally, they are us. That the Jewish people have endured what they have over the millenniums is incomprehensible to me; my mind reels. What happened on Saturday that forced Israel to go to war again is not their war alone. It is our war, a Western war, a just war against an evil, that can never be eradicated but an evil that must be cut back to is roots periodically. In a rational Western world, not corrupted by Leftist ideology, an evil from our own seed, we would be moving to confront this current expression of evil and began the work of cleaning up our world once again. But we are corrupted and I fear it is going to take an existential catastrophe, such as Tehran setting off a nuclear bomb in a Western city, to focus our minds. Still I hope we will come to Israel's aid without reservation.

If even a third of these are military aged men (a good bet) and they are in any way connected (possibly) then this is a full up Infantry Division. The only thing missing are mortars and artillery.

If the GOPe actually wanted to win politically they'd call for sending all the young military age men to Ukraine as a "Foreign Legion". Why?

It would hit the left in so, so many bad places for them. From revealing most of our "refugees" are young unattached men to asking why Ukraine, the most enlightened state in Europe isn't a worthy place for them?

286 Israel has some of the strictest gun laws in the world even though most of the population has been trained. They just loosened the laws. You can now have 100 rounds instead of 50 rounds of ammo. You can apply for a license over the phone and they'll get back to you in a week but you still have to prove that you need a gun.

288 This quote resonated with me because it emphasizes Israel is a fundamental part of the Western world; they are more than an ally, they are us. That the Jewish people have endured what they have over the millenniums is incomprehensible to me; my mind reels. What happened on Saturday that forced Israel to go to war again is not their war alone. It is our war, a Western war, a just war against an evil, that can never be eradicated but an evil that must be cut back to is roots periodically. In a rational Western world, not corrupted by Leftist ideology, an evil from our own seed, we would be moving to confront this current expression of evil and began the work of cleaning up our world once again. But we are corrupted and I fear it is going to take an existential catastrophe, such as Tehran setting off a nuclear bomb in a Western city, to focus our minds. Still I hope we will come to Israel's aid without reservation.

It's taken South Africa more than 30 years to degrade the infrastructure to the point that it is collapsing, but that is because they didn't start actively tearing it down until recently.

When Israel bugged out of Gaza in (I think) 2005 and handed the whole shebang over to the "Palestinians," the very first thing the recipients did was destroy the infrastructure they were given. They tore down the evil Jewish greenhouses and the like.

Unlike South Africa - which pretended to maintain the infrastructure while robbing the utilities blind for a couple of decades - "Palestine" will just tear it down immediately.

It was not that they weren't affectionate and loving. They just wanted to make sure that their children wouldn't cry if it came to be a matter of life or death. The last time I visited Israel, which was the late 1990s, the people I knew still seemed to teach their children the same survival skill. I'm not sure it is still being done.

How do you slaughter civilians and behead babies? How do you go to bed the next day? How do you look at your own children?

Well Simon. Look at what is taught in the Madrass' across the ME. Look at the Pali cartoons that teach their kids to hate Jews. Literally. Look at them. Then you understand or can at least wrap your mind around it. When someone says that you should be wiped from the earth, take them for their word. Then destroy them.

I will try to answer this question sincerely.

It comes down to the concept of "Palestine" as two locations: the Gaza Strip and the West Bank. Both are deemed "Palestinian Territory." The Israelis surrendered Gaza to the "Palestinians" and it is indeed its own state (its own state that elected Hamas to lead it in an overwhelming majority), but that state is *not* "Palestine" and has never been considered such by them. It is merely a down payment on the *real* "two-state solution."

That real solution consists of "Palestinian" control of both Gaza and the "West Bank" territory under a unified government connected with a free-passage corridor through Israel, and that government and its territory is formally recognized by Israel and the wider "International Community." That new state separated by Israel Proper contains no Israelis. The entire "West Bank" territory must be evacuated and turned over to "Palestinians" and their terror government.

381 The attack on Israel has left me unsettled, worse actually, something I haven't felt since 9-11. As 9-11 faded it became clearer how well al-Qaeda understood, or so it seemed, that it would lay the seeds for a police state every hungry for more security at the expense of our freedom, that we would spend enormous sums going after these enemies only to become mired in endless wars. With these in mind I have been trying open the puzzle box behind the barbaric Hamas attack, bearing witness to this evil so when our common enemies fill the air with dust I will see through that, and finding quiet moments to weep with Israel. What comes next is not Israel's war. It is our war, maybe even existential war against pure evil last seen unleashed in 1939. This war began in the 7th century and recently metastasized again in Tehran and then spread its cancer, realized not only as Hamas, but into the Western nations where it is festering. Evil is persistent and the atrocities unleashed in 1939 soon leapt to 1948 and has since then persistently sought the extermination of the Jewish people. Like 9-11 clarity is coming to me and that clarity is this evil is hunting our extermination too.

This particular theory is that those years just didn't happen - that 300 years were just added to the calendar and history made up to fill it in. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phantom_time_conspiracy_theory

And I will say, a lot of those early French rulers did have stupid names. Fredegunda or Burgundofara or Childebert

411 Sad to say, but I think the Mossad took the biggest hit. It wasn't that long ago that any inexplicable event involving violence or computer disruption was accredited to Mossad because it was that good. Yes, the rest of Israel's intelligence community needs to take a long, hard look at their operations once this latest deal is cleaned up. But Mossad especially. Mossad needs to reclaim its reputation of the world's best and most dangerous intelligence outfit. The world, especially the Arabs, needs to be perpetually glancing back over its shoulder.

412 You are naive and misunderstand the core point: they do not view the Israelis as humans. They are non-human, like animals, and so there is no requirement to treat them as humans. Do those who work at slaughterhouses and put bolts through the brains of cows have trouble sleeping at night? No, they do not.

So they view Israelites the same way the globalists view U.S. citizens.

413 I went to Facebook for the first time in a long time the other day and watched a video about the Sphinx and various theories as to exactly how old it is. I think they did a fair job capturing the range of theories but noting some of the MUCH older one are...kind of crazy.
Posted by: 18-1 at October 10, 2023 12:00 PM (XqcwY)

The idea that the Sphinx, Pyramids, etc. are leftovers from a pre-Ice Age civilization is plausible, though currently denied by The Establishment. Unfortunately, once you make that leap, it is way too easy to start mixing in lizard men and flying saucers.

415 He was the second man on a hamas tunnel cleaning crew. He hasn’t told me all of it but what I know is is enough to give anyone nightmares. I have little sympathy for the Palestinians who are willingly led by the hamas monsters.

Hamas tunnels? Don't even enter them until they have been sterilized by pumping gas into them. Use whatever gas you have on hand. It's all good.

This past Sunday, my church refused to say anything about what happened in Israel. They were quick to denounce Russia when they invaded Ukraine, and spent weeks gathering money and goods to send there. But crickets on Sunday. Needless to say, we are looking for a new church.
Posted by: Moki at October 10, 2023 11:49 AM (JrN/x)

Same here - Catholic. Prayed for the conversion of Russia as Pope Franky asked all Catholics to do.

Not one word on Israel.

It did have flight controls, a sort of autopilot based on a pendulum device that served to keep it flying straight and level until the engine ran out of fuel.

421 330 This attack needs to start soon, but I know the extremely hard part for Israel, and for everyone, will be when the Palestinian death toll crosses 100,000 and keeps rising. It will, because it has to. There's no pulling back for fear of casualties anymore. But it will be grim.

They brainwash their children at the youngest of ages. Watch what they put out on TV for their children to watch - teaching that Jews want to eat their flesh and drink their blood, etc. Watch at their demonstrations the very young children gleefully cheering to chants of death to Israel - death to Jews, etc. To them, as has been said, Jews are vermin to be eradicated. Do you hold a funeral for a rat or cockroach that you kill and mourn their deaths? Sick and evil.

428 Hamas, and others like them, are driven by a demonic hatred of the Jews. Satan hopes he can destroy the Jews and prevent God from fulfilling the remaining promises that have been made to Israel.

429 "In most of America we have a robust civilian culture of self defense, with guns a part of our lives. Israel does not have that culture, and the sad result of an unarmed population can be seen across southern Israel."

I visited Tel Aviv in the 80's in the Navy and I can assure you that they USED to have a robust self defense culture ... on the streets it was the ODD man or woman who WASN'T carrying a rifle slung over their shoulder or a pistol on their hip ...

430 As a Catholic, I stand with and pray for Israel. I cannot imagine what they are going through.
As a history buff I can say that the Jewry throughout the middle ages were slaughtered periodically everywhere, and when they were allowed to live they were often expelled or extorted of all of their money. They have always been badly treated.

431 The cause is Islam, itself. Same as it ever was. It will only change when Islam changes. It needs a Reformation. A New Testament, if you will.

432 Okay, if this is true, since some folks attacked me, saying I am repeating Israeli propaganda, but if 40 babies were beheaded in Israel by Hamas, it's not just horrible, but I am also wondering how does one become that way? How do you slaughter civilians and behead babies? How do you go to bed the next day? How do you look at your own children? Call me naive, but I am confused by how humans do horrific things to other humans. This is not to say that bombing innocent civilians in Gaza is great or acceptable. There is no winner in war, no matter what the military-industrial claims. Only innocent civilians dead!
