The Morning Report — 10/10/23

Good morning, kids. Take a good look at the videos and read the accounts of what has happened in Israel to unarmed men, women, children, the elderly and infirm. Beheadings, rapes, hostage-taking, torture, burning alive, shootings (if the victims are lucky) – a litany of the most barbaric savagery not seen in decades, yet standard operating procedure for this so-called "religion of peace" for the past 1,500-plus years. I'm not much of a fan of Ben Shapiro, but I have to admit that his description of this as "the worst day for Jews since the Holocaust" in which he states:

“These are terrorists who have no actual military agenda. Their only agenda is to murder as many Jews as possible…”

That is depressingly 1,000% accurate. And it exactly parallels the central war aim of Nazi Germany: the annihilation of every Jew it could get its hands on preceding global domination. CBD and I covered quite a bit of territory concerning this ongoing catastrophe in the latest episode of the podcast (here and in the sidebar)

Of course the subject of Iran as well as the incompetence and insanity of the Biden Junta's policies and actions loom large, despite said Junta's and its acolytes' attempts to obfuscate that and as per usual cast the blame squarely on the Israelis for refusing to allow themselves to finally Final Solution themselves courtesy of Schickelgruber's greater admirers.

In the week or so leading up to the attack, while we were all preoccupied with the ongoing political struggles and repression of the citizenry by the aforementioned Junta, a story centering around Iran and a central figure dealing with Iran policy, one Robert Malley, got understandably lost in the sauce. Evidently, Malley was placed on leave from his post as Biden's key national security adviser dealing with Iran amid an investigation into mishandling of classified documents.

Ironic, as in disgusting, that Donald Trump is in the process of being railroaded for this (among a host of other specious charges) while Biden remains untouched despite this being his stock-in-trade for decades. Considering that despite the smokescreen being put up to shield Iran from criticism, as Hamas is merely an Iranian proxy that they fund and train wholly or substantially, the $6 billion handed over by Biden to them in exchange for American hostages certainly puts a spotlight on Biden and company.

Here are just the bullet points about Robert Malley from his detailed dossier/rap sheet courtesy of Discover The Networks:

* Longtime official with the International Crisis Group

* Formerly served as President Bill Clinton’s Special Assistant for Arab-Israeli Affairs

* Son of Simon Malley, a key figure in the Egyptian Communist Party

* Blamed Israel for the failed Camp David peace negotiations with Yasser Arafat in 2000

* Has co-written a number of op-ed pieces with Hussein Agha, a former adviser to Arafat

* Consistently condemns Israel, exonerates Palestinians, urges U.S. disengagement from Israel, and recommends that America reach out to negotiate with its traditional Arab enemies

* Became foreign policy advisor to presidential candidate Barack Obama in 2007
* Was named by President Biden as special U.S. envoy for Iran in 2021

The rabidly Jew- and Israel-hating Malley was the co-author of the initial Obama-led Iran nuclear deal that despite its claims otherwise would have greased the wheels for an Iranian A-bomb. And in the immediate run-up to the Hamas mass attack, he was under investigation for leaking documents/secrets to Iran, the country that has direct control over Hamas.

Lest you think this fiend is a one-off, Jew-hatred and Israel-hatred runs through virtually every key figure in the Biden Junta. Because, let's face it, the Biden Junta is the front group for the Obama Junta. And we all know where he stands.

When it comes to Biden’s Middle-East policy, the president has diligently deployed skin-color racism to put a team of anti-Semites and supporters of the terrorist regimes in Teheran, the West Bank and Gaza in charge. Chief among them, of course is Susan Rice. In 2015, Rice publicly lauded the Iran nuclear deal as the “most comprehensive and effective” anti-nuclear agreement ever devised. She has continued to support the deal ever since. When President Trump withdrew the U.S. from the deal in 2018, for instance, Rice falsely stated that “Iran has fully complied with its obligations,” and that the inspections authorized by the deal were “the most intrusive international inspection and monitoring regime in history.”

. . . Biden’s new Administrator of USAID, Samantha Power, is a dedicated opponent of Israel. During a 2002 interview  Power said that even if it meant “alienating a domestic constituency of tremendous political and financial import” (i.e., Jewish Americans), the United States should stop investing “billions of dollars” in “servicing Israel’s military,” and should invest that money instead “in the new state of Palestine” – a regime (not a state) that annually invests hundreds of millions of dollars in terrorism against men, women and children in the Jewish state. . .

. . . Biden’s new Undersecretary of Defense,  Colin Kahl, co-drafted the language that attempted – ultimately without success – to omit from the 2012 Democratic Party platform any reference to Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. In an August 2012 op-ed in Foreign Policy magazine, Kahl praised President Obama’s call to push Israel’s borders back to the 1949 Armistice lines, which would reward 70 years of Arab aggression and deprive Israel of defensible borders; to accept the creation of a Palestinian state governed by the terrorist organizations PLO and Hamas; and to reject the notion of Jerusalem as Israel’s undisputed capital. . .

. . . Biden’s new Under Secretary of State for Civilian Security, Democracy, and Human Rights, Uzra Zeya, is a former staffer at the Washington Report on Middle East Affairs, a notoriously anti-Israel publication, where she compiled research for a book claiming that “the Israel lobby” had established a secret network of PACs that bribed and extorted congressional candidates into adopting positions favorable to Israel, thereby “subvert[ing] the American political process to take control of U.S. Middle East policy.”

. . . Wendy Sherman, Biden’s Deputy Secretary of State nominee, has referred to the late PLO leader Yasser Arafat, the world’s most prolific Jew-killer since Hitler, as “the leader of a resistance movement,” while minimizing the moral horrors of Palestinian suicide bombings against innocent Israeli civilians as “nagging disruptions from the Palestinian side.”

. . . Symone Sanders is the Senior Advisor and Chief Spokesperson to Vice President, Kamala Harris. Sanders was one of the 2020 Biden presidential campaign’s three senior advisers who apologized to radical Islamic organizations after Biden staffer Andrew Bates had tried to distance Biden from Linda Sarsour, a notorious Jew-hater who, despite supporting the Hamas-inspired Boycott, Divestment & Sanctions (BDS) movement and having ties to numerous Islamic terrorist organizations, was a featured speaker at the 2020 Democratic National Convention. . .

. . . Biden’s new Secretary of State, Anthony Blinken,  is opposed to designating Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) as a foreign terrorist organization and imposing sanctions on it, even though The Constitution of the Islamic Republic of Iran established the IRGC explicitly to “strike terror into [the hearts of] the enemies of Allah” — meaning most prominently the U.S. and Israel — and to “expan[d] the sovereignty” of Islam across the globe. . .

. . . Biden’s new Director of National Intelligence, Avril Haines, is a signatory to a J Street letter arguing that the Democratic Party platform should incorporate additional criticism of Israel. The letter also draws a moral equivalence between Palestinian terrorists and their victims, Israeli Jews, by employing the phrase “violence, terrorism, and incitement from ALL sides.” Further, the letter rejects the notion of Israeli and Jewish sovereign rights in the historically Jewish lands of Judea and Samaria, and accuses Israel of perpetrating an “occupation” of Palestinian land. . .

. . . Biden’s new Deputy Director of the White House Office of Legislative Affairs is Reema Dodin. In her student days at UC Berkeley, Dodin was a campus radical who organized a number of anti-Israel rallies. Among other things, she was a leader of the Muslim Students Association, a Muslim Brotherhood front. . .

. . . Biden’s new Senior Director for Intelligence Programs at the National Security Council is Maher Bitar. As a student at Georgetown University, Bitar was an executive board member of Students for Justice in Palestine, an organization that supports the Hamas terrorists and the BDS movement. . .

. . . Biden’s new Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Israel and Palestinian Affairs is Hady Amr. . .accused Israel engaging in the “ethnic cleansing” of Palestinians. Ethnic cleansing of Jews is of course the overt goal of the Palestinian Authority and Hamas, whereas more than a million Palestinians are Israeli citizens with more rights than the Arabs of the West Bank and Gaza.

In the past six months or so, as Netanyahu led a popular campaign to reform an Israeli judiciary that was completely unaccountable, and solidly leftist, Biden and other bad actors worked to foment BLM/Antifa style street protests against the government. Even before that, Obama's henchmen including Samantha Power worked to illegally influence Israeli elections in an attempt to oust Netanyahu and install a leftist self-gasser that would help grease the wheels of the Jewish state's destruction from within.

The Israeli left is as horrendous as our own, and the corrosive nature of their aims cannot be dismissed as a factor in Israel's complete unpreparedness. Worse, and more alarmingly is the potential for this influence to have reached into the most unimaginable areas: the Israeli intelligence services and the highest echelons of its military (sound familiar?) that have been at the forefront for safeguarding a nation surrounded by enemies. And with enemies within, both Muslim and leftist.

Psaki-psircling back to the barbarity, the estimable Daniel Greenfield nails it once again:

We’re in a war between savages and civilization. Everything else is a detail.

Some of us woke up to that war when planes crashed into skyscrapers. Others when we saw beheading videos spread across social media. What we saw in Israel, Hamas terrorists raping, mutilating and defiling corpses, is another bloody wake-up call. There will be many others.

Beyond the politics and the geopolitics, we still haven’t come to terms with what we’re fighting.

The barbarism of murdering women and children, taking them as hostages, and posting photos of their dead bodies to social media, is not a byproduct of Islamic warfare, it’s the whole point.
Cruelty, beheading, burning to death, torturing and mutilating are the essence of Islam. This is how Islamic warfare was practiced beginning with Mohammed for over a thousand years. It’s how it continues to be practiced, whether it’s ISIS fighting other Muslims, Azebajani troops killing Armenians, Hamas attacking Israelis, or Islamic terrorists plotting carnage in Western nations.

Islam was born out of a war by barbarians against the civilized societies of Persia and Byzantium. Despite academic mythmaking, its vision never extended beyond rape and slavery, its empires fell into power struggles, beginning with Sunnis and Shiites, and its cultural and scientific accomplishments were all looted from conquered peoples. When civilization finally toppled the Ottoman Empire with some help from its internal barbarians, the cycle began again. . .

. . . The question is how do civilized societies confront savagery? Do we blame ourselves for having made the savages what they are through our capitalism and colonialism even though they have behaved this way long before modern western civilization amounted to anything? Or do we set forth to reeducate them, to build modern nations for them and teach them to become civilized?

We have sent forth our sons and daughters to make peace with them and to educate them. Our societies opened themselves to embrace and celebrate the virtues of the noble savage. When we realized that we could not coexist with savages, we tried to remake our societies to serve them. All of that has been tried and civilization is still drowning in the violence of the savages.

The fundamental truth is that civilization and savagery are innately at war with one another. . .

. . . Savages and decadent civilizations have no firm concept of right and wrong. Everything is subjectively opportunistic and there can be scenarios in which raping a woman, killing her and then posting a photo of her body to social media so her family can see is actually right.

That is why civilization has to defeat savagery, without equivocation, apologies or sympathy, not only to win, but to revive its own soul. Negotiations and laws of war are for peer civilization. Savages offer nothing and so are owed nothing. They keep no agreements except when it suits them. Their word is worthless and their morality is non-existent.

A civilization that does not understand all this will learn it the hard way.

Civilizations are built on the suppression of savagery: both internally and externally.. When civilizations defeat savages, learning, art, science and ideas thrive. And when civilizations allow savages to ravage them, they lose their people, their morality and eventually their existence.

No form of war is more sacred than that of civilization against savagery. It is these wars that made Christianity and Judaism, not to mention all the ideas of western civilization, as well as those of Asia and India, possible. This is once again the defining struggle of our age.

Either civilization or the savages will prevail. Any attempt at a middle ground is suicide.

THIS. It pains me to have to say this but Israel has to consider the rescue of hostages as secondary to wiping out Hamas, even if it means annihilating every man, woman and child in Gaza to do so. If hostages can be saved, by all means do so. But that cannot be the prime goal.

This is an existential war. The only thing these fiends know is pain and death. Unfortunately, the only way this ends is when every Muslim on the planet renounces the central tenets of their pseudo-religion in which they call for the death and/or subjugation of unbelievers. That is a complete non-starter of course, so the only alternative is eternal vigilance and absolute overwhelming and lethal force in the face of any aggression. Preemptively if necessary and without mercy, consideration or quarter.

By the way, everything Greenfield writes concerning adherents to Islam can be substituted for Leftists.

Two rotten sides of the same coin.

No civilized person WANTS to do this. It's horrific in the extreme and will stain our souls for generations, as it should.

But the savages DO NOT GIVE US A CHOICE! It is THEY who have decided to flaunt their crimes in the faces of civilized people who are far better than they. It is THEY who have decided through their actions to become worse than animals.

All they have to do is cease their behavior and they could be left alone. But they cannot do that. So civilization must do the moral thing and eradicate them.

Concur. And the hostages are probably being tortured and abused on their way to death. Hamas doesn't have a POW camp or the concept of POWs. They are not holding prisoners, they're holding sub-human bargaining chips. I am not a Hamas hostage and so I do not know, but killing them may be a mercy. This is a touchy subject for good reason, and we *still* argue the point about whether we should have just carpet-bombed the concentration camps in WWII.

50 Savages are offended by the existence of civilization. When they see one, they want to destroy it. There can be no peace with savages because, contrary to Islam, peace is a condition of civilization. To have peace, you must be civilized.

Leftist, Communist, Progressive, and the like see no issues or differences in civilizations.
One example is the idea that a person living today (white person that is) must bear witness against people that lived 150 years ago. How does denouncing the slavery of your ancestors and paying reparation solve the problems of today?
It does not and was never intended to. It is an admission that what we agree to live as today is no better than the way we lived in 1850.

The sobering part is to realize that every action since Obama's first term (and I have no doubt his handlers / fellow travelers are running this administration as well) has been to crush the middle class.

Inflation destroyed 50% of our wealth in the last two years. Boom. Gone.

Energy prices double or treble now, and the middle class households making $70K/year are going to barely be able to scrape by.

@EvaVlaar
It’s clear that there are people at the highest level who knew the attack on Israel would happen.

An Egyptian intelligence official said Israel ignored repeated warnings of ‘something big’. Israel also has one of the most advanced militaries in the world and works in close cooperation with the CIA. There must have been people who knew and either wanted it to happen or they let it happen.

It’s also clear that many are now angrily beating the drums of war, just like we’ve seen throughout the Russia-Ukraine conflict.

People on both “sides” are eager to see further escalation of this conflict, regardless of whether or not it launches us into World War 3.

I think that’s an extremely dangerous path to go down on and I’d exercise great caution in following any narratives like that.

Before we start World War 3, it’s worth asking ourselves:

Who benefits from further escalation of this conflict?

Who benefits from this war?

That's nice. But you weren't talking about that. You said "(Nikki Haley) never met a war she didn't like."

Now, while I do not think we can or should go into everywhere guns blazing (A good way to deplete Russian and Iranian treasuries is for our country to flood the world with oil - and maybe NOT let Iran have $6 billion in assets), I do think there are situations where we can and should defend ourselves and our interests.

Maybe instead of whining about "false assumptions", clarify.

83 American Leftists of Brandon's and Obama's generations hated Israel and backed the Palis for reasons having little to do with Jews and Arabs - it was simply because they took all their queues from the Soviet Union. As Israel gradually entered the US sphere of influence, the American Communists were duty bound to oppose them.

They couldn't say that out loud of course, so they cloaked their bullshit in rhetoric about apartheid and colonialism and equity and justice blah blah blah blah. Once they spent decades railing on like that, they couldn't backpedal from that position, even after Moscow was out of the picture.

Now, the Monster Babies they raised don't even remember the Soviet Union; they nothing of that history, quite by design, but they were raised on a steady diet of Israel hate their whole lives. They have no idea about the reasons why they hate Israel, just that they do.

The ignorance on display by the adult children in this country is almost a thing of beauty. It's a true triumph of agitation and propaganda on a level that was never really achieved by Communism 1.0.

And not only did you screw over the US but you especially dug in and wrecked the Israeli govt. . . how's that paying off for ya? Going Insane Left has made you betray your people, your heritage, your lands, your covenants, your God. WAKE UP, stop this self-loathing, repent in sackcloth, renew your bonds and get to work. "For thus says the Lord: Do not enter the house of mourning, or go to lament or grieve for them, for I have taken away my peace from this people, my steadfast love and mercy" You can fix that. . . .you are of the Covenant. Now rise up, get to the task. Our strong laments and weepings for you waft to heaven. May you conquer.

Well, No Country Wants To Be Second. The instant Russia or anyone else pops a nuke in anger, lots of people can't bitch at America for being the only ones. (JMHO)

To me, if we had a government that can't get out of its on way (Haha!), they'd plead for oil to be drilled like mad. Keystone Pipeline? Sure! How fast can it be built? Russia's government, contrary to the beliefs of some here, DOES NOT base its budget on the price of wheat, nickel, diamonds or other commodities. They DO base their budget on oil. That is the COG. Drill oil, watch Russia panic, watch Iran panic, and find they have less money to play games. Not a shot fired, our economy improves. I have no use for sending in the military when other alternatives are better and should be tried. Just my 0.02.

And thanks for clarifying. : o ) Peace through strength! Use sparingly.

Perhaps. Sieges are also perhaps more effective now. Cities and the like are much, much less resilient than they used to be. Everything runs on a knife's edge of high-efficiency systems. Blockading a city nowadays is difficult (many approaches, etc.) but the results might be outstanding in fairly short order if you can pull it off. And Gaza is fairly easy to blockade.

The real problem, I think, is the horror of such an action resulting in a loss of popular support on the besieger's side.

The first and lasting impression while reading the Greenfield piece is and will be exactly that.
And if it's possible we, the patriots reminding in the USA, are LESS able and ready to fight the Leftist savages than Israel was for the Hamas Massacre. The long march of the Left through the institutions has nearly extinguished objective truth and the will to act on what we know to be truth.

Unless it's a distraction to leave the north sparsely defended for a major action by Hezbollah out of Lebanon (or possibly ISIS-type groups out of Syria, but I doubt that because they're all fairly busy with the civil war there). Would Iran sacrifice a hundred thousand or a million Gazans to open a route from a better-supplied northern army? I don't have any trouble thinking they would.

229 >>It is astounding to those of us with Western thinking, incomprehensible in fact, to think of an attack with no military purpose or rationale at all.

Years ago, actor Larry Miller used to write an occasional column in the Weekly Standard (stay with me). There was an excellent one where he recounted a recent visit to Israel, specifically, a big hospital there (forget which one). He lauded the Jewish doctors and other staff caringly treating Jew and Palestinian alike, that they could all share the same ER waiting room, etc. The column ended with him asking one of the doctors (paraphrasing from memory) "What is the hardest part of your job?" The reply was: "It's tough when they cheer." Every time the ambulance drops off an injured IDF from a Palestinian attack, the ER erupted in cheers from the Palestinians.

Imagine cheering for death of the Jews while simultaneously receiving lifesaving treatment from a Jewish hospital?

Large scale or small, local or half-way 'round the world, "Either civilization or the savages will prevail. Any attempt at a middle ground is suicide."

In Medieval times an army would parade their strength in front of a city's walls. First, the armored knights/mercenaries, then the foot soldiers and at the end of the parade would come the unarmed criminals. The offer of the besieger was that if you surrendered without a fight the criminal battalions would not be unleashed on the city. If you fought and lost then the criminal battalions would be let loose to do what they wished.

It's a dirty little secret that the MSM and government does their best to pretend isn't real, but the vast majority of practicing (think "praying") Muslims believe all societies should live under Muslim law and apostates should be executed.

It is not antisemitism to express compassion for innocents who die in a war that they did not choose. Just as Jews (many flesh and blood in my own family) have nothing to do with Palestinians, there are many innocent Palestinians who have nothing to do with Israel. Hamas is a terrorist group. A two-state solution might have prevented this horrible outcome of hatred by those who feel oppressed.

Why bring that up now? Why can't people denounce terroristic crimes without bringing up something else? Why, when hundreds of innocent civilians have just been murdered in cold blood, do people have to bring up offenses carried out by somebody else entirely?

This is such horsesh*t. There is no state that is beyond criticism.It is not antisemitic to criticize the very real oppression of Palestinians in their homeland by Israel. It is, however, intellectually dishonest to equate criticism of Israeli political choices with being anti-Jewish or blaming Jews for the actions of distinct government actors.

False narrative, for two reasons.
First, Hamas is not a terror group (well not "just" that). Hamas is the government, elected in an overwhelming majority in a UN-observed election. Hamas is what Gaza wanted. Gaza agrees with Hamas and its objectives. There is no daylight between "Gazan" and "Hamas.:
Second, a two-state solution is untenable. A two-state solution can work only when both future states acknowledge the right of the other to exist. The best example of a "two-state solution" I can think of is the partition of India, and it hasn't exactly been all wine and roses.

Nagumo was one of the biggest opponents to Yamamato's daring plan.

First wave caught the US napping so no real defense. Second wave ran into stiff resistance and aircraft with crews were lost.

And finally there were no carriers in port so that worried the Japanese.

So Nagumo declared mission accomplished because he had immobilized the US battle line and departed.

There is. And there has also been 70 years of intermittent violence over Jammu and Kashmir around the "Line of Control."

And the first "two-state solution" there failed, because of geography. What is today Bangladesh was part of Pakistan, but there was a lot of India between the two and it didn't last very long before it became a "three-state solution." That exact problem is also there in Israel. There is a lot of Israel between Gaza and the West Bank.

314 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.

Oh, you'd never let them in. But support them? That's been the norm of the Arab states for decades on end.

It seemed devoid of compassion that is so characteristically on display in the life of Jesus and anathema to what a "loving God" would ask of His followers.

And then ISIS arose. And I began to understand the depravity to which an entire culture could stoop. And I realized how incompatible with humanity they would be if left intact. And we're seeing it now in Israel's neighbors.

I'm sorry. I've been trying to come up with the right words but, for now, only a single word - orchestrated - comes to mind.

Israel will only be permitted to defend, & then restrained from going farther. It's already being said time & time again in certain terms. Further, what has recently resurfaced is the topic of the Oslo Accords, as the 30 year anniversary of signature between Israeli & Palestinian leaders was September 13th. An interesting read, for example, Just Security, "The Last Chance for a Two-State Solution for Israelis and Palestinians May Be to Think Much Bigger," by Jonathan Panikoff, Aug 7, '23.

That & the US seems so very unconcerned about its own borders; the lack of security, rapid changes treading toward evil & the violence within. Allowed? Orchestrated? Different from that seen & experienced during my many past years. I weep.

“As we support Israel’s right to defend itself against terror, we must keep striving for a just and lasting peace for Israelis and Palestinians alike,” the former president added.

354 Sherman had it right:
Sherman summed up the goal of his military maneuvers in grim terms: "We cannot change the hearts of those people, but we can make war so terrible... [and] make them so sick of war that generations would pass away before they would again appeal to it."

All hail Sultan Knish!

And you did an excellent job yourself, Mr. Sefton. Well said all the way through.
The brutal truth is that Islam was born from a megalomanical barbarian, mohamed. At it's hardcore, it is spiritually toxic. It should not be considered a genuine monotheism.

357 Robert Malley comes from a family of anti-US, pro-Iran and pro-PLO crazies.

No wonder Obama/Obama II hired him as adviser.
