Hi Doc Sarvis:

Thanks for posting.

Israel is a country I no longer recognize and I'm never going back.

Israel recorded its first net migration loss last year because of the bellicose Likud regime.

Israelis have been filling out paperwork at German consulates and embassies in order to emigrate there by proving their ancestors were once citizens.

Israel has been cited as the greatest cause of instability in the Middle East by the analysts at Responsible Statecraft

The sooner the Democratic Party of JFK, FDR, and Zohran Mamdani rids itself of AIPAC and that dibbuk Bibi Netanyahu, the sooner we can oust the nefarious Trumpf junta and Republicans from power on Tuesday 3 Nov 2026.

BTW: Many academics avoid reading Thomas Friedman for manifest reasons. He is the Alan Dershowitz of journalists; his awards and accolades be damned. This is a book I lend out to friends.

Yup, that was a shot heard 'round the world.

I remember the Oslo peace plans and how Israel and Palestine could have shared the land for both their benefits.

Israel has large elevated highways and the idea was to construct such a fenced in 20-mile superhighway linking the West Bank and Gaza.

The Palestinian security forces were to patrol the elevated roadway to ensure no vandalism, but a stainless steel mesh fence was supposed to cocoon it anyway.

Israelis wouldn't see the Palestinians up there and vice versa.

Israel would have continued getting the cheap labor from the Gaza Strip and Palestinian farmers in the West Bank could have hired Gazans as well.

And Israel could have had better relations with its Arab and Iranian neighbors. The theocratic regime in Iran wouldn't have had to counterattack Israel every time the IDF decimated the Palestinians.

The cost of that bridge in 1994 or 1995 would have been far cheaper than the billions and billions of dollars hardworking American taxpayers have been forking over to Israel since 1948.

More importantly, how many lives from both sides could have been saved?

"Netanyahu Plays Trumpf" isn't quite accurate.
Trump and Kushner plan on making billions from the development of the Gaza Strip.

Israeli real estate developers, the nefarious Likud junta, and rabid Israeli Settlers will also greatly benefit.

The net losers: The Palestinian people and the hardworking American taxpayer who funded ethnic cleansing while making certain elites more fabulously wealthy.

How some people can live with themselves after killing over 72,000 human beings, mostly women and children, maiming and injuring another 175,000, is anyone's guess.

*** US Forces Ready to Attack Iran ***

"The US military is prepared to strike Iran as early as this weekend, though Dummkopf Trumpf has yet to make a final decision on whether he'll authorize such actions."

The head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran:

"Infiltration and sabotage carried out by the Israeli regime against the Islamic Republic's nuclear energy program pushed the country to build a fully indigenous nuclear industry, describing the process as a response to sustained pressure and disruption."

*** Dummkopf Trumpf's Idiotic Board of Peace of Meets Today ***

Belarussian despot Alexander Lukashenko is sending his Foreign Minister to join 19 other losers and a**-kissers at this three-ring circus led by a clown.

*** Pope Leo Snubs Dummkopf Trumpf's Insipid Board of Peace ***

"Pope Leo will not participate in Dummkopf Trumpf's inane "Board of Peace" due to concerns it seeks to undermine the United Nations.

Meanwhile the EU is sending poor Dubravka Suica, the European commissioner for the Mediterranean, to "take one for the team" by having her attend this complete waste of time, money, resources, and brain cells that will be full of tyrants, lickspittles, crackpots, and profiteers."

*** AIPAC Secretly Meddling in Illinois, Angering State Democrats ***

"AIPAC is masking its involvement in competitive Illinois Democratic primaries, according to candidates in those races, who accuse the interest group of trying to quietly maintain its influence as Democrats reexamine their stance on Israel.

Democrats in the state say they have seen an influx of ads focusing on issues ranging from immigration to health care by groups named Elect Chicago Women and Affordable Chicago Now. None of the ads mention Israel, and none of the groups are publicly affiliated with AIPAC. But the ads benefit candidates favored by AIPAC donors.

In recent years, however, an increasing number of Democratic voters, including Jewish Democratic voters, have started to question their party's traditional support of Israel. That trend accelerated during Israel's pogrom on the Palestinians in Gaza, with Democratic leaders who previously refused to publicly criticize Israel calling for a new relationship with the nation."

US Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) visits Israel every two weeks?

Is this true?

Who pays for it?
