So it came as a surprise this morning when an Iranian official resurrected the [2018] Soleimani strike in a claim to al-Jazeera that Hamas’ October 7 massacres in Israel were meant as a retaliation for his death:
On Wednesday, Hezbollah launched its highest number of cross-border attacks in a day since 8 October, security sources told Reuters. It has led to concerns the conflict in Gaza could become wider across the region.
Q: Are there more forces that can be returned to active duty in Israel to help support the northern border?

It has been this way for a while, and yet our government is supporting Iran: giving them money, letting them act with impunity, letting them work on nuclear weapons. It's ridiculous.

It drives me nucking futz. The one that really sent me into orbit was Obama during the Green Revolution saying he "supported legitimate elections" the Mad Mullahs had been teetering up to that point they took that as an sign Obama signed off on the "election" and cracked down.
We've never had a coherent Iran policy ever since the excerable Rabbit Bait sold the Iranians up the river.
The Persian culture was, at least before the Mad Mullahs proto-western. When I was there there was a Jewish community had been since the time of Cyrus the Great. You could see Synagogues, Greek, Russian Orthodox Churches, Armenian Churches.
That Persian Culture is the key to the defeating the Mad Mullahs.

Quoting from Ace, because it's that good. His first attention is to the pandering of the NYT letting a Hamas major (not elected but selected by Hamas) whining about the attack and all the people hurt, while the NYT doesn't tell people he's the selected mayor and no one has confirmed Hamas' numbers.
But that's not what I find so funny.
THIS is funny:
I can't find it now, but Marxist Media is now complaining that Israel is bombing Gaza's "luxury" apartment buildings.
As many pointed out -- Marxist Media has been claiming that Gaza is a, quote, "open-air prison."
Only for a brief moment after Israel bombs some of Hamas' leaders luxury condos does Marxist Media admit this "open air prison" has "luxury apartment buildings."

Oh, and there's video of what Gaza looked like before October 7. Sure doesn't look much like an open-air prison to me.

Yeah, I saw that video. It was a tourist video, but it look like a nice place to visit.
I think that's what makes me the angriest.
The lost opportunity because their rather wallow in hatred. It's not that different from BLM and the dems, only in degree.
I've told the story of a family friend was was Peace Corp and spent time in one of the West Bank "camps" in the early 70's. Open sewer in the middle of the street. He proposed covering the sewers, the mayor took him aside and told him not even to propose it, If they didn't anything to "improve" the camps the PLO would kill those involved. They literal prefered the open sewer and the propaganda value.

Just as the neglected "Christmas movie" Stalag 17 inspired "Hogan's Heroes," Leonard Bernstein's Candide inspired "Green Acres."

And I still try to wrap my head around the fact that Eddie Albert, the goofy lead of that goofy series, was a veteran of the killing grounds at Tarawa.

Re Green Acres - Arnold the Pig was the smartest one. He really hammed it up, and nobody brought home his bacon
All the major German characters in Hogah's Heroes were played by Jews - including General Burkhalter and Major Hochsteader were played by Jews.
John Banner was in Switzerland when the Holocaust occured and managed to escape.
Werner Klemper's mother was Jewish. His father was the famous conducter Otto Klemperer. I think the scenes where he is playing the violin badly were jokes based on the actor playing the violin well
The only Jew on the allied side was Robert Clary, and they took care not to show the tattoo number on his arm
