The Hamas objective was to abduct as many Israelis as possible in order to conduct a prisoner swap for any of the thousands of Palestinians being held in IDF security detention without a hearing.

The armed fighters, which included guerillas from the PIJ (Palestinian Islamic Jihad), wanted living hostages.

David Barnea, Director of Mossad, knew exactly what the Hamas objectives were and told Benjamin Netanyahu to release Palestinian prisoners.

Three such prisoner swaps took place between 7 Oct and 30 Nov 2023.

Then Bibi said no more.

His Cabinet wanted vengeance and this Hamas surprise attack gave the Likud Party the excuse to wipe out the Palestinians in Gaza.

The Gaza genocide also delayed his nettlesome corruption trial again.

In 2024, POTUS Joe Biden didn't stop economic or military aid to Israel-- even though millions of protestors flooded US college campuses in anger and started calling him "Genocide Joe."

The Democrats not standing up to Bibi in 2024 alienated nearly seven million progressive voters and now we are living the results of that ignorance.

The Democrats in 1968 also ignored the crucial antiwar progressive wing and lost on Tuesday 5 Nov 1968.

"I'm not voting for this, Hubert!"

Note that this "terroristic" regime isn't targeting civilians like the US and Israel.

In fact, the Iranians gave our USAF a break when they directed their drone into the antenna of the AWAC plane in the rear, and not the cockpit in the front, when the plane was on the runway.

The Russians provided the intel to the Iranians and Tehran acted on it.

Loss of this $300m aircraft is a "grave matter" according to a USAF spokesperson because of the limited number of these specialized planes.

The USAF crew survived the attack, albeit injured and shaken up.

Concur all above.

And behind JD Vance is the Satanic mega-oligarch Peter Thiel.

"Tehran had been prepared to demonstrate goodwill in previous nuclear negotiations by diluting a significant portion of its enriched uranium stockpile, Iran's Deputy Parliament Speaker Ali Nikzad stated on Monday.

In remarks to Iranian state television, Nikzad said Iran was willing to dilute 450 kilograms of enriched uranium rather than hand it over, emphasizing that such a step was intended as a confidence-building measure within the framework of negotiations."

"His Holiness Pope Leo XIV ... I condemn the insult to Your Excellency on behalf of the great nation of Iran, and declare that the desecration of Jesus, the prophet of peace and brotherhood, is not acceptable to any free person. I wish you glory by Allah."

Thanks for the video, Corky.

When you think about it, why were these British musicians so much more angrier than their American counterparts?

By 1967, the UK finally decriminalized homosexuality and they abolished the death penalty.

In America, we were fighting for civil rights and sending conscripts to fight and die in Vietnam.

I can't think of any British bands that were broken apart because someone was drafted.

One AI snapshot:

"Jimi Hendrix was drafted but never served in Vietnam because he was discharged due to an injury.

Creedence Clearwater Revival (CCR) members were eligible for the draft; John Fogerty wrote songs influenced by the war, though the band members themselves mostly avoided combat.

Some musicians served in military bands or entertainment units, supporting morale.
Draft and enlistment disrupted many bands: Young men of draft age were often called away, leading to lineup changes or bands breaking up.

The Doors lost their original drummer, John Densmore, who was eligible for the draft but did not serve.

The Monkees had members who faced draft eligibility, affecting their touring and recording schedules.

The Byrds and Buffalo Springfield both dealt with members going to Vietnam or facing the draft."

"If them darned Mohammedans even think of coming to Tennessee, my family will blast them all to Kingdom Come, Inshallah!"

The GOP and the 1% has squandered the promise of the American dream for one more vacation home.
Luigi is right.

If a USSS SA plugs the morbidly obese geriatric child molesting draft dodger in the back of the head, what jury would convict him or her?

Both books sound excellent, Doc Sarvis, much appreciated.

Years ago I had heard about an African prince or navigator from the Dark Continent heading West across the vast salty expanse and "discovering" the New World (Brazil), but this is anecdotal. One AI snapshot suggests that I may be referring to Abubakari II, a 14th-century ruler of the Mali Empire.

How many of Immanuel Velikovsky books have you read?

Anyways re-reading Greek mythology has been most rewarding.

I had forgotten all about Hercules' twin brother (also strong, but not like the "Big H").

Did you perchance see my post about the US Army civilian who got jammed up because she divulged secrets to a journalist about Delta Force?

That book sounds like another good read.

Too many books, not enough time, Doc Sarvis.

Mexico is set to inaugurate universal healthcare for all its residents in 2027.

The government is proudly registering elderly people into the program this year.

Mexico's economy is roughly 7% the size of the gigantic US economy.

GDP per capita comparison:

Mexico: ~$15,111
US: ~$74,870

The US, UK, and IAEA have recorded nuclear weapons tests conducted by Russia, China, India, Pakistan, and North Korea, but never Iran, s signatory of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), unlike Pariah Nation/Rogue State Israel (Source: iaea.org).
