The Morning Report — 10/16/23

selfgassedjew.jpg

Good morning, kids. Just an observation to kick things off. Isn't it funny how the usual suspects are all exercised about demanding even the most horrible opinions in support of the Islamic butchery be given a platform, and yet these same scumbags have Donald Trump on trial for his life merely for expressing his opinion, and engaging in whatever legal means he had at his disposal, in protest of what he (as it turns out, correctly) thought was a stolen election.

I'll give you a moment to let the bile and vomitus settle back down in your gullet, but considering the nature of this column, get ready for one of the dumbest observations I've seen so far, vis a vis Hamas refusing to let civilians out of the Gaza war zone. Shockingly, it comes from Breitbart's own usually quite astute Joel Pollak.

The Fourth Geneva Convention requires that foreign civilians who wish to leave a conflict area must be allowed to do so, or must be given the opportunity to present their case for doing so to an appropriate tribunal. Hamas is thus violating international law.

Well, let's just parachute Merrick Garland, Christopher Wray and Fani Willis into the center of Gaza City with Al Sharpton's megaphone, and they can declare that all of them are under arrest!

Geneva Convention. Sheesh. I can't even find the words to describe it but suffice it to say we're dealing with Dark Age, reptilian savagery, no offense to the Dark Ages, reptiles and savages. On the latest episode of the podcast, CBD and I had a great conversation with Ian Lane, an attorney who is an expert in the area of "proportionality" and the rules of war. He was terrific and it is definitely worth a listen (here and in the sidebar)

But afterwards, I got to thinking and painful is it is for me to say it, I could really care fuck-all for the Geneva Convention, the rules of war, and all the rest of it. War in general is a complete abnegation of everything that I believe in as a moral, upright, peaceful, God-fearing human being. That doesn't mean that should I be attacked, I would not use any and every means at my disposal including the use of deadly force to protect myself. That includes my country, the abuse of that in endless pointless wars by the powers that be notwithstanding.

Israel is not dealing with a civilized nation. Gaza is a de facto nation because it has a citizenry and a government, for lack of a better word, that rules over it and fields a military force. But putting that aside, considering the acts of horrific barbarity committed against unarmed citizens, and the equally barbarous practice of using your own citizens as cannon fodder/human shields, what the hell does proportionality and following the rules of war mean in a situation like this?

I would imagine that in a situation even such as this, the soldiers of the IDF when they move into Gaza are going to do all they can to prevent the death of non-combatants. And that raises the question of who is and who is not a non-combatant. If Israel has not learned by now that being concerned with world opinion on how it fends off an existential threat is as dangerous as the threat itself, then they're lost. And what was unleashed on them last week, in the light of the most dangerous geo-political instability since 1939, they really cannot afford to play that game anymore.

As I've been saying all along, no quarter. But that reveals yet another problem: Islam itself. The people of Gaza elected Hamas as their government. To greater or lesser extents, the majority of Gazans support Hamas' aim of erasing Israel from the map and the broader aim of eradicating every Jew on the planet. Hamas are the frontline forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran, whose aim is the Islamic Republic of Planet Earth.

So, two million """Palestinians""" are under the gun and are both being refused entry into Egypt and even if the Egyptians were stupid enough to let them in, their (Gazans') leaders are not letting them leave because dead Gazans gains world sympathy. Now all that said, you all know in the back of your minds that the insanity of option three is likely being contemplated somewhere in Kalorama even as we speak, don't you?

The “Guaranteeing Aggressors Zero Admission Act” — the GAZA Act — will prevent Joe Biden from issuing any visas to refugees who carry a passport issued by the Palestinian Authority.

At a time when the threat of terrorism is not only grotesquely on display but being encouraged and justified, it is critical that we do our best to ensure the security of our nation,” Ogles said, according to Newsmax.

After the withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2021, it was revealed that thousands of Afghans — many who may or may not have assisted American forces during the war — weren’t even routinely vetted by the government. Vetting a non-citizen properly can take weeks. But Biden didn’t want to take the time to make sure these new arrivals from Afghanistan were who they said they were.

“Following the horrific attack by Iranian-backed Hamas terrorists on innocent Israeli civilians, the last thing America ought to do is trust identity documents issued by the radicals that oversee these territories,” Tiffany said in a statement. “We need to put our security at home first and that starts by closing the door to bad actors who might be seeking to enter our country.”

I didn’t agree with Trump’s travel ban because it was far too broadly drawn and excluded far too many people. But I don’t see any choice but to support this bill.

It’s targeted to exclude Gazans — a commonsense measure given what we’ve seen and heard the last week from Gaza residents.

Those who are eager to welcome Gazans to the U.S. are sleepwalking. I don’t trust the vetting process for refugees and neither should they. When you sacrifice thoroughness for speed, it’s too easy for details to fall through the cracks.

Let Gazans go to a third country — Egypt, Lebanon, etc. From there, if they really want to come to the U.S., they can go through regular channels.

Well, we do have massive shortages of police across the country. Let's train Hamas veterans to be cops. They'd be doing the job Americans refuse to do, right? Winning! What I say as gallows humor you have to believe some psycho in Foggy Bottom or the Oval Office is likely considering.

In any case, the above excerpt is PJ Media's Rick Moran who's an idiot, especially that stupidity about not supporting Trump's travel ban. But he's generally right about everything else. Except for the fact that no other country wants """Palestinians.""" First, their existence in the first place as supposedly displaced refugees has been a weapon with which to hamstring Israel for the past 75 years.

Remember that in 1948 on the eve of the creation of the Jewish state, all these nations told the indigenous Arabs in Israel to leave before they rolled in and beheaded the infant state in its cradle. Then they could return and take the land for themselves. How'd that turn out for them? Can you say "naqba?"

Second, the Arabs hate the """Palestinians.""" They treat them like crap wherever they go. The bitter irony is that Israel treats them better and they have a far better standard of living and quality of life by orders of magnitude than any other country in the entire region. If they only either accepted being citizens of Israel or lived peaceful, productive lives in the lands that Israel surrendered to them in the first place we could have avoided all this.

Of course that was always a non-starter because, Islam.

First, thank you for your service.

Second, you were facing off against a regular, uniformed army. Yes, you had to kill them but you still had to do your duty in a manner that conformed with UCMJ and other conventions that the US abides by. And that's regardless of what the Iraqis were going to do.

For lack of a better word, "atrocities" or war crimes where POWs are abused or worse can and do happen. But it was not and never was our POLICY to do that, vis a vis what the Nazis did with the commissar order in 1941 and the official declaration from the High Command that the war in Russia was indeed a war of annihilation.

That is what Hamas is doing. Does Israel still have to abide by the rules of war in taking prisoners given these conditions? I would argue no.

48 Something that was glossed over after 9/11/2001, it is difficult to overstate how insane our “leaders” are - the “rules of war” are very clear on this -

In order to be considered a lawful combatant it is required (among many other things) that participants wear a recognizable uniform, and carry a weapon openly. For some reason the Clinton and Bush era clowns decided to treat acts of war and terrorism as just different flavors of crime, and instead of military tribunals, convict terrorists in our court system.

As a point of fact, unlawful enemy combatants have no rights under the Hague or Geneva conventions, and can be summarily shot or hanged. “We” are no longer a serious nation.

53 Hamas will use the media-delivered bad look of an Israeli incursion to leverage Saudi intervention vis a vis their engagement with Israel to extract concessions. The invasion is politically expedient for Hamas. Israel doesn't know where the Hamas leadership is, and so won't be able to behead the object of its fury. Hamas will use Islamic Jihad as its cat's paw (as it has done for the last two years) in the street fighting to come. Last time Israel went into Lebanon, Hizballah tuned them up. They've been baited; they should move forward with caution.

"Debellation: In contrast to an ordinary surrender or defeat, debellation is a condition in which a defeat is so total that the vanquished state no longer functions as an institution and no further resistance is possible, and the state may therefore be said to have become legally extinct."

67 But putting that aside, considering the acts of horrific barbarity committed against unarmed citizens, and the equally barbarous practice of using your own citizens as cannon fodder/human shields, what the hell does proportionality and following the rules of war mean in a situation like this?
++++
The "rules of war" were established and observed by civilized countries who, upon weighing the objectives of the conflict, determined that certain rules would help ensure survival should defeat be won. Even between civilized countries, "rules of war" more or less went out the window during existential conflict, except thing - like the prohibition on poison gas - where it was well understood that the first to violate the rule would result in its violation by all. That's as far as the "rules of war" go in an existential conflict: expectation of repayment in kind for violation.

Between a civilized country and a barbarian country, there were never any "rules of war." In an existential conflict between either, the "rules of war" last only until the first violation by either side of the conflict.

Second, the Arabs hate the """Palestinians.""" They treat them like crap wherever they go.

i think this is because the Palis give lie to two principles of islam:

1) Any land seized/conquered by muslims in the name of allah is islamic land forever.

Clearly, that is not the case.

2) Islamic warriors are unstoppable because of their willingness to die in the name of allah and go straight to paradise.

That's clearly not the case, as the palis never give a stand-up fight. I don't mean running straight into gunfire, but nor do I mean killing women and babies and unarmed civilians but never confronting soldiers in any meaningful sense unless the soldiers come to their doorstep.

My guess is that the rest of the muslim world looks at the Palis and just shakes their heads. They probably regard Palis as weak cowardly sandbilly trash of islam. True muslims would've already reconquered Israel or died to the last man, woman, and child trying. Cuz hey! Paradise!

85 >>Debellation

Defellation: In contrast to an ordinary oral sexual engagement, defellation is a condition in which the performance of the fellator is so terrible that the recipient no longer maintains an erection and no climax is possible, and the recipient gently extracts his member from the engagement and may therefore be said to have become sexually thoroughly disinterested.

The use of armor is going to be limited to areas not already covered in demolished, bombed out buildings. So Hamas will know where the heavy stuff will probably be. IDF Soldiers will be vulnerable in the urban setting too.

If the IDF is taking time to refine the plan of attack that's probably ok. If it's purely a political decision based on international or U.S. pressure, that's a bit unacceptable.

152 Hamas leadership is in Qatar. That fact says pretty much everything that the Israelis might do in Gaza is moot.

I think it is possible the ground assault may be a feint. I mean mobilization of that scale tends to just have a momentum of its own but Israel knows that Hamas wants them in there with them. They might just keep the air strikes and drone strikes up supplemented with commando raids and artillery but the tanks and main infantry troops just keep the border in check.

A Chief is no good if he has no Indians to command. The top dogs may be in Qatar, but they're also essentially *stuck* in Qatar. With communications essentially cut off and their primary territory blockaded by both Israel and Egypt, how do they command their fighters effectively? How do they reinforce them?

Yes, the top dogs will surely try again and again as many times as possible - but that doesn't mean that their presence in Qatar while the war is in Gaza means that there is no point in exterminating Hamas in Gaza.

167 The Geneva convention has a lot of parts that Hamas ignore, starting with firing/hiding among civilians but they also don't have uniforms, which means if they are captured they aren't treated as soldiers but terrorists.

It's one of those things that made the 60s movies of soldiers escaping an even more dangerous thing when they tried to break out as when wearing the uniform they (supposedly) had some form or rights, but if caught without it, they were completely screwed.

Occasionally it is mentioned in a war prison breakout film, but I guess sometimes the filmmakers trusted their audience knew something like that. Where as today, or filmmakers are often dumb enough they have their "good guys" acting with no morals and wondering why the audience doesn't embrace them.

Amid the noise and waste.
And remember what comfort there may be
In owning a piece thereof.
Avoid quiet and passive persons
Unless you are in need of sleep.
Rotate your tires.

Speak glowingly of those greater than yourself
And heed well their advice,
Even though they be turkeys.
Know what to kiss... and when!

Consider that two wrongs never make a right
But that three... do.
Wherever possible, put people on hold.
Be comforted that in the face of all aridity and disillusionment
And despite the changing fortunes of time,
There is always a big future in computer maintenance.

You are a fluke
Of the universe.
You have no right to be here.
And whether you can hear it or not
The universe is laughing behind your back.

The Geneva Convention - and any other - is irrelevant to this conflict. It has no bearing at all. Hamas is not a regular army, it wears no uniform, Gaza is not signatory to the Convention and Hamas observes none of the rules of the Convention. It's utterly irrelevant.

Hamas forces are at absolute best a semi-regularized guerrilla force and at worse a confederated band of murderers. The Convention is inapplicable.

The vast majority are, but the numbers are so staggering that the small minority is a big absolute number.

If a million invaders pour over the border in one year (it's more than that, but a million is a nice round number) and 1% of them are special-interest invaders from other continents, that's still 10,000 special-interest invaders. Depending on which army and in which time period, that's a combat division.

228 I Samuel 15…. An appropriate Bible passage for the moment. The Lord commanded King Saul to utterly destroy the Amalekites… men, women, children and animals/possessions; to wipe them out entirely. Why? Go way back to the Exodus and Israel was moving through the desert and the Amalekites attacked the stragglers of Israel (women, children, infirm)… they were a wicked and vicious tribe of people. Remind you of… Hamas?

I’m not saying God is commanding the utter destruction of Gaza but modern conceptions of God are perhaps a little too “nice”… God has a righteous fury against Hamas I can guarantee you that….

232 Looks nuts; family's landlord; looks like it's a Polish surname; don't know if Jewish.

(Reuters) - An Illinois man was charged with hate crimes for stabbing a 6-year-old Muslim boy to death and wounding his mother in an attack that targeted them for their religion and as a response to the war between Israel and Hamas, officials and Muslim rights activists said on Sunday.

The boy was stabbed 26 times with a military-style knife with a 7-inch (18-cm) serrated blade, the Will County Sheriff's Office said in a statement. The 32-year-old woman had multiple stab wounds and is expected to survive the attack that occurred on Saturday in Plainfield Township, about 40 miles (64 km) southwest of Chicago.

"Detectives were able to determine that both victims in this brutal attack were targeted by the suspect due to them being Muslim and the on-going Middle Eastern conflict involving Hamas and the Israelis," the Will County Sheriff's Office said in a statement.

The suspect, Joseph Czuba, 71, was charged with first-degree murder, attempted first-degree murder, two counts of hate crime and aggravated battery with a deadly weapon, the sheriff's office said.

239 Jeff Landry wins Louisiana governorship, flipping the state for Republicans. Source: NBC News Democrats’ two-term hold on the governorship of Louisiana will come to an end next year after Republican state Attorney General Jeff Landry won the seat Saturday by capturing a majority in an all-party primary.

The victory precedes two more red state governor’s elections this fall: Democratic Gov. Andy Beshear of Kentucky is seeking a second term on Nov. 7, while Republican Gov. Tate Reeves is doing the same in Mississippi.


Vote Republican. . .get Republican policies. Time for Red State Democrats to get out. I guess Louisiana's voters want to finally succeed Mississippi as the worst in the nation.

He's going to do is end Medicaid expansion. Life in red states suck. Where to flee? New Mexico sounds nice. Never lived in a semiarid region, but I like what I read about NM politics.

I always use Michigan as an example to my friends that have given up on Texas. The turnaround has been amazing and sets a good example for the nation. But living in the Bible Belt makes it kind of unlikely it will happen here. But I'm not giving up.

Smells like a Matthew Shepard kind of incident, at least that's my knee-jerk first reaction. Were the landlord and the family involved in some sort of side business? Was the kid and/or the woman being used to make the rent? Did one of them resist or get discovered and so the landlord got a bit too excited and then tried to clean up the mess?

It could be what it is being asserted as being, but my first reaction when reading anything like this is either, "bullshit, it never happened" or "I wonder what is *really* going on between the parties." There have been far too many cases where something else was going on or it was a pure hoax. I suppose we might find out later on.

this visit is more about an idea for his next movie. Maybe involving the IDF? Maybe Arafat? Who knows?

Tortured them first…raped them…mutilated and burned them. This was even worse than what we have come to define as terrorism. This invasion was conducted by a death cult.

In 1945 the Allies made Germans, esp. officials and Nazis, visit death & concentration camps to see their handiwork. Some went home & killed themselves. Israel & Western governments should invite West's Hamas supporters to see the evidence of atrocities they encourage & deny.

293 It could be what it is being asserted as being, but my first reaction when reading anything like this is either, "bullshit, it never happened" or "I wonder what is *really* going on between the parties." There have been far too many cases where something else was going on or it was a pure hoax. I suppose we might find out later on.

A 71-year-old snapping sounds unlikely (even in the case of demntia, there'd be a leadup to it), and then you throw in the stabbed 6-year-old... The whole thing is weird and even weirder that cops immediately declared it a hate crime. I do feel bad for the mom, no matter how it happened.

Are they being patriotic? Or do they hate Bibi more than the Palestinians?

298 Remember that in 1948 on the eve of the creation of the Jewish state, all these nations told the indigenous Arabs in Israel to leave before they rolled in and beheaded the infant state in its cradle. Then they could return and take the land for themselves. How'd that turn out for them? Can you say "naqba?"

Yes. And then, and then! Those same countries chased out their native Jewish population appx 800,000 people.

Bitch at me again about goddam "refugees"? I don't think so.

299 My son is dead to me. He's a DJ and worked a wedding reception in Chicago last night, the husband a gazan, the bride a mongol, they were married in gaza two days before the attacks and immediately flew here. The reception turned into an intifada party with all the slogans and chants being shouted. He stayed for it and played backbeat music. He's on their side.

302 "Never again" isn't a slogan. It's not something inconsequential you put on your Twitter file as your cause celebre. It's a promise and commitment to do whatever it takes within your power to support the protection of the Jewish people.

Terrorist murderers just marched across southern Israel and slaughtered innocent men, women, children and babies. They killed them in heinous, tortuous, barbaric ways for one reason and one reason only. Because they were Jewish.

Filth like that needs to be wiped off the earth. There is no equivocation, no reason, no justification for that slaughter. It is pure evil, and any person supporting it, no matter what their reasoning should never be allowed to set foot in our country, much less breath air in any place calling itself "democratic".

You want to fight for that cause? There's a spot for you right now in Gaza. Gather up with the rest of the scum, and show your commitment to insidious, odious action. That way good, decent, brave, strong men can ensure you never go on a murderous rampage again. Cowards.

306 Hamas and their scum supporters are the new holocaust deniers. I've seen grown men, many used to the horrors of war and conflict, break down and weep at what they've seen first hand. There is no denying what happened. The evidence is everywhere and indicative of a concerted, managed effort. You don't get the same tactics being used without coordination, forethought and planning.

It might sting a little at first but carving people out of your life that cause you distress is healthier in the long run. My son married poorly and it was nothing but a nightmare to be around him and his brain dead lib wife. I don't need nightmares. Life is better without them.

316 (Late) 'morning, all. Thank you, J.J.

Syria has been in the U.S. TPS program since 2012 & Yemen since 2015. Syria has also been part of the U.S. Refugee Program for many years.

2018, PDT's administration halted more than $200 million in aid to Palestinians but that and more in US aid was restored April 2021. Spring past, roughly two years later after the full aid restoration, members of Congress engaged publicly over Palestinian rights (including a one state v. a two state solution) and, of course, funding for Israel.

But circling back, Hama reportedly practiced the horrendous attack for a year or more. Why start then & why attack now? IDK. Some might say the right time for Palestinian Cause and relocation of many Gaza residents. But I wonder, too, what is the broader Civil Society being created worldwide?

Secretary of State, Antony J. Blinken's very recent interview with Randa Abul Azm of Al-Arabiya, at Cairo East Air Base, Cairo, Egypt is a must read.

Solidarity with Israel.

319 I found the link to the American Thinker article fascinating. Yet another reference to the giants of the Old Testament that ascribes to the fallen angel view rather than the sons o Seth.

I think it is worthwhile to contemplate exactly what is meant by Jesus saying “For just as the days of Noah were, so will be the coming of the Son of Man”.

320 Gaza is a de facto nation because it has a citizenry and a government, for lack of a better word, that rules over it and fields a military force.

Disagree that that makes it a nation. The same things can be said for similarly-sized cities.
