The death cult known as Hamas (which, in Hebrew, appropriately means violence) has the Mainstream media not only as its content market machine, but also as its co-conspirator in crime. Journalists embedded with Hamas during the October 7 terror assault that resulted in women, children, and infants being slaughtered knew what was going to happen and did nothing to inform the Israelis their citizens were about to be murdered.
On October 7, Hamas terrorists were not the only ones who documented the war crimes they had committed during their deadly rampage across southern Israel. Some of their atrocities were captured by Gaza-based photojournalists working for the Associated Press and Reuters news agencies whose early morning presence at the breached border area raises serious ethical questions.
What were they doing there so early on what would ordinarily have been a quiet Saturday morning? Was it coordinated with Hamas? Did the respectable wire services, which published their photos, approve of their presence inside enemy territory, together with the terrorist infiltrators? Did the photojournalists who freelance for other media, like CNN and The New York Times, notify these outlets? Judging from the pictures of lynching, kidnapping and storming of an Israeli kibbutz, it seems like the border has been breached not only physically, but also journalistically.
Four names appear on AP’s photo credits from the Israel-Gaza border area on October 7: Hassan Eslaiah, Yousef Masoud, Ali Mahmud, and Hatem Ali.
Eslaiah, a freelancer who also works for CNN, crossed into Israel, took photos of a burning Israeli tank, and then captured infiltrators entering Kibbutz Kfar Azza.
… Let’s be clear: News agencies may claim that these people were just doing their job. Documenting war crimes, unfortunately, may be part of it. But it’s not that simple.
It is now obvious that Hamas had planned its October 7 attack on Israel for a very long time: its scale, its brutal aims and its massive documentation have been prepared for months, if not years. Everything was taken into account — the deployments, the timing, as well as the use of bodycams and mobile phone videos for sharing the atrocities.
Is it conceivable to assume that “journalists” just happened to appear early in the morning at the border without prior coordination with the terrorists? Or were they part of the plan?
And why would Hamas want their atrocities documented other than for the same reason serial killers keep evidence of their crimes close to their hearts? It was for the trophies, it was for the bragging rights that those who slaughtered infants and children would gain from their fellow cultists, and the MSM journalists knew this, were complicit in this, and have now made themselves justified targets by Israel’s intelligence agency, Mossad, for righteous retribution after participating in the murders themselves and failing to warn the innocents of the death that was coming their way.
Whatever Israel has done that is not just it in no way, shape, or form justifies what Hamas did on October 7 in the name of their pedophilic god, Allah, and it certainly doesn’t justify mainstream media’s willing participation in this slaughter.
Every day these same content marketing death machines assault the world with psychological terrorism that serves their pedophilic god, the rainbow-colorist god of the DNC-CCP, here, they just murdered people directly as opposed to indirectly, doing what they do best, spreading hate and fear into the hearts of their readers.
U.S. Intelligence is claiming the Assad regime of Syria has agreed to deliver weapons to Hezbollah from Russia, with Wagner Group assisting in teaching Hezbollah how to use the weapons systems. These systems include Russia’s SA-22 missile system, an air defense system that could threaten Israeli jets. The U.S. has warned Russia, Iran, and anyone who cares to listen, they will intervene on behalf of Israel should these nations choose to attack Israel while it deals with Hamas.
This could bring about a dramatic escalation of the conflict and threaten to bring the U.S more directly into the fight, however, the U.S. asserts Iran, which is becoming a proxy for Russia and China, is not interested in having this fight escalate to a wider regional war, rather they are interested in manipulating their proxies to destabilize Irael while it fights Hamas.
From cnn.com: The US intelligence community believes – for now – that Iran and its proxies are calibrating their response to Israel’s military intervention in Gaza to avoid direct conflict with Israel or the US while still exacting costs on its adversaries.
But the US is also keenly aware that Iran does not maintain perfect control of its umbrella of proxies – in particular over Lebanese Hezbollah, the largest and most capable of the various groups. Hezbollah is an ally of Hamas, the group that attacked Israel on October 7, and has long positioned itself as fighting against Israel. US officials are deeply concerned that the group’s internal politics may cause Hezbollah to escalate simmering tensions.
The US also does not always have perfect visibility into the communications between Iran and its various proxies, according to sources familiar with US intelligence in the region.
Meanwhile, Hezbollah’s leader, Hassan Nasrallah, did not deliver the decisive declaration of war against Irael the Palestinians were hoping for.
From Newsweek: Nasrallah touted Hezbollah’s current involvement in the conflict, saying his group had joined the war on October 8. He largely renewed warnings to the United States and Israel that the group’s lower-level leaders had already made. He also called for a ceasefire in Gaza and reiterated Hezbollah’s support for Hamas and the Palestinian people.
“The depth of the disappointment for those who want Hezbollah to do more against Israel is a reflection of the height of anticipation leading up to Nasrallah’s speech. For them, Nasrallah’s speech failed to deliver,” said Firas Maksad, a senior fellow and director of outreach at the Middle East Institute.
Maksad told Newsweek that Nasrallah simply outlined what the group was already doing to divert Israel’s military resources away from Gaza and toward Lebanon. The Lebanese group’s leader also said that Hezbollah and Iran had no role in planning or foreknowledge of Hamas’ attack on Israel, as Iran and lower-level Hezbollah leaders have previously said.
Still, the moment an Israeli jet is shot down by a Russian air defense system, the risk of escalation is very real, whether anyone wants it or not.
The Spanish Election this year produced uncertainty as the party that won the most votes, the conservatives, have little to no chance to form a majority government while the ruling Socialist party just needs to appease to Catalan separatists to seal the deal. The Socialists have formed a coalition with the leftwing alliance in an effort to encourage the Catalan separatists to join. What remains to be seen is if they can get that support without granting amnesty to the Catalan separatists in jail and in exile.
Pedro Sanchez, the incumbent and acting Prime Minister, formed an alliance with the leftwing Sumar alliance, and has announced plans to form a government that will concentrate on worker reform and equality. In his speech celebrating the new alliance, he made no mention of the amnesty demands of the Catalan faction. The two parties do not have enough seats to form a government. They need the Catalan faction in order to gain the majority required to form that new government.
The leftists, both the Socialists represented by Sanchez, and the Sumar alliance, seem hellbent on driving their economy further into the ground, promising to lean hard into the man-made climate change hoax, to reduce the workweek, force higher wages, and “focus on equality.” All of these things sound good to a child with a child’s understanding of the world, but to an adult, we understand that forcing wage prices, that sacrificing the poor for the planet, that forcing “equality” on people will only lead to unintentional, dire consequences the left seems too immature to ever understand.
Yolanda Díaz, the head of the far-left coalition now partnering with the socialists, said this of the deal, “It’s an agreement for the people and a commitment to our country. We’re going to gain time for living, that’s what politics is for. This legislature will become a legislature that’s about having time to live, to look after ourselves and to be happy. We’ll reduce the working week without reducing wages.”
The Spanish people voted for the further undoing of their state by delusional fantasy dreamers who don’t believe money costs anything or that actions, in general, controlled from a central authority, won’t become inherently corrupt as power corrupts and absolute power (the kind of power leftist systems ALWAYS creates) corrupts absolutely.
Perhaps the Catalan separatists should consider taking the deal, even without the amnesty, even without being granted more powers of self-rule, as this leftist government forming is sure to destroy Madrid’s power to govern over the land at all, leaving more than just Catalans with the option to self-rule in the very near future.
As news continues to filter out about the nature of assaults on U.S. airbases by Iranian drones, Netanyahu battles with his own military about when the Gaza ground invasion should begin. America draws more troops into the region in anticipation of the potential for a wider war with American troops serving on the front lines of that broadening war.
Biden hints at supporting a ceasefire, but only after Hamas releases all of its hostages. The Russia-China axis is looking for an opportunity to inject itself into the conflict, with Russia and China both calling for an immediate ceasefire and China sending warships into the region to counter the American presence.
The war appears primed to expand beyond the borders of Israel and Gaza beyond the skirmishes, such as the attacks on U.S. bases by Iranian drones or the firefights, rocket attacks and artillery attacks on the Israel-Lebanon border. It appears, to this writer, to be fundamentally about the globalists of the west securing their India-Israel-Europe Trade Corridor versus the globalists of the East sustaining their Central Asia-Turkey-Europe Trade Corridor, with Israel and the Palestinians being the de facto pawns in that global struggle. Here is more in our link report below:
It seems the child-murder, groomer, rapist gang, the rainbow fascists, might not be so welcome by the other death cult these reprobate minds embrace, the Islamo-fascists, who they cheer on every time they “rally” in support of Hamas.
A march supporting the child-murdering, raping death cult of Hamas in London has revealed the rift between the rainbow fascists and the Islamo-fascists marching “side by side.” Rainbow flags flying in support of Hamas are not something Hamas and its debased supporters endorse, as was evidenced by the taking down of the flags and the flag bearers by Muslims dressed in black during the march.
The march happened October 21, 2023, on the streets of London. It revealed the murderous nature of everyone involved, the rainbow fascists pushing a lifestyle that, if society prefers it (as they want seem to want to force society to do so) will lead to the death of humanity, and the Islamists, who embrace a religion that calls on its devotees to murder the unbeliever, especially the Jew, to bring the end of the world and the ushering in of their version of paradise (where 72 virgins are forced to have sex with one devotee who murdered his way to sexual paradise).
From Express UK: “… a video widely shared on social media appears to show uneasiness and lack of unity among some of the factions attending the event.
The clip, filmed in Trafalgar Square where the “March For Palestine” ended, initially shows a Progressive Pride Flag being waved.
Shortly after, the flag representing the LGBTQ+ community can be seen falling to the ground.
As people surrounded the flag bearer, it isn’t clear whether the person waving it was attacked or if someone grabbed the symbol of inclusivity to tear it down.
Then, two men dressed in black and with their face covered can be seen running away from Nelson’s column.
Shortly before the video ends, a skirmish breaks out between the men and another protester, who appears to be holding a sign.”

What follows is an “estimate of the situation”, concerning what may well become known as the “Guns of October”. This is a strategic assessment of the current situation in the Levant, and what the deeper plan[s] may be. Nothing in this article is based on “classified information” or “anonymous sources”, but sober estimates based on training, experience, intuition and “informed speculation”.
Around the world, October 7th stunned many people. Even after over twenty years of continuous warfare, the scenes of slaughter coming out of Israel were stunning, both in their daring, but even moreso for their brutality and savagery. Inevitably, perhaps, some people have began to promote an idea that the Israeli High Command was operating in full knowledge of what Hamas was going to do, because there was “no way” that the vaunted Israeli intelligence agencies could have missed Hamas’ preparations.
The fact is, people are always people, and people make mistakes – often, those mistakes boggle the imagination with their stupidity. There is no real evidence of anything like an intentional conspiracy on the part of the Israeli High Command’s part happening.
In this case, however, there are parties throughout the world, who have been desperate for a crisis like Yom Kippur 2.0 to restore their flagging efforts. This group has been pushing an endless series of wars since the 1990’s, and while their influence is, indeed great, they are masters of the notion espoused by one-time White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel’s quip, “… you never want a serious crisis to go to waste…”
The people in power, or hanging on to the tailings of power, who espouse such ideas, are known as “neo-cons”…But – what is a “neo-con”?
Foreign Policy Magazine accurately describes neo-cons as “liberal imperialists on steroids”. They are firm believers in the notion of a highly totalitarian vision of the so-called “Pax Americana”, a series of policies that have produced a national debt in excess of an eye-watering $33 trillion, as of 10/18/2023. These beliefs – and the people behind them – also led to the roiling disasters in Israel, Lebanon, Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, and most of the rest of the Middle East.
Another key descriptor of the neo-cons is that they have no political party, beyond that which is most expedient for them at the moment. Zbigniew Brzezinski (1928 – 2017), one-time National Security Advisor to Democrat party President Jimmy Carter, laid out the neo-con strategy and thought in his 1997 book, “The Grand Chessboard”. His criticisms of Republican President George W. Bush’s handling of the post-9/11 wars were not one of actual opposition, but complaining about their mis-handling.
Neo-Con thinking is also at the core of the Russo-Ukrainian War that began in February of 2022. No matter what side of that conflict the Reader may fall on, the fact is that – like Japan attacking Pearl Harbor in 1941 – the West, led by the United States, goaded Russia into its attempt to dismember the Ukrainian state. Why? Because the neo-cons desperately wanted to initiate Cold War 2.0, because Islamic jihadi’s were simply not working as an existential threat to Western society that justified obscenely massive military spending; terrorists are annoying, but they will never seriously threaten the Western social order.
Russia and China, on the other hand…
In early-to-mid 2022, there was a point where the world held its breath, as it seemed that the major powers of the world might actually enter into direct, large-scale combat with each other, something that has not been seen since 1945. While that danger still looms, the important takeaway, is that these situations have sparked increasingly strident calls to revamp western military establishments, to something resembling “the old days”.
But – how does this relate to the “Guns of October”?
In the aftermath of the seeming failure of neo-con ambitions as the “Global War On Terror” sputtered out in the mid-20-teens, despite the flare-up provided by the so-called “Arab Spring”, the neo-con movement became increasingly desperate for something to revive their plans to continue their series of planned wars, the exhaustion and disgust of the people’s of the West – and Russia – over the never-ending series of wars at the dawn of what should have been a “golden century” for humanity.
The clearest example of the desperation of the neo-cons, including their abject hatred of US President Donald Trump, came when Trump rejected their plans to strike three targets in Iran in response to the 2019 downing of an unmanned US drone. Trump canceled the retaliatory attacks when he was informed that the attacks were expected to kill at least 150 Iranians; Trump did not feel that level of retaliation to be a “proportionate” response to shooting down an unmanned drone.
But now, with a reimposition of sanctions against Russia in April of 2021, leading to a near-war with that state, the neo-cons within Washington DC and allies in several European governments have been awaiting a crisis of an appropriate scale to move the world back into the realm of “forever wars”.
Enter October 7th, of 2023.
With increasing calls in the West to end the open and naked barbarity of Hamas – barbarity that organization happily live-streamed, until it realized how bad the optics were – coupled to the deranged bleatings of the Communist mullahs in control of Iran – handed the neo-cons the golden crisis they have desperately needed to galvanize Western governments into continuing the wars: the United States – even under an “anti-Israel” establishment – cannot oppose Israel in assaulting Gaza, nor in hammering the Iranian-back Hezbollah organization in southern Lebanon, especially in the face of Hamas’ barbarity, without suffering catastrophic political consequences. Similarly, the Western European “street” is fed up with their government’s policies of accommodation and appeasement of “refugees” who spare no expense to tell the world how much they hate their “hosts”, who spared little expense to give them shelter and sanctuary.
Caught in the middle, are the Muslim governments of the region, none of whom want anything to do with this war, but who have enough internal problems that they cannot be seen by their populations to be completely abandoning the Palestinians. But, with more and more US Navy warships being deployed to the region at speed, the possibility of an “incident” occurring that “required” a military response against Iran – one that would make the Iraq war look like a training exercise – is an increasingly likely possibility.
Why is this important? Put simply, the United States does not have the manpower to fight the wars the neo-cons want the West to fight. As has been pointed out previously at the Freedomist, two decades of no-victory wars – as well as policies to insult and demean the US military’s primary recruiting pool – have turned a generation of potential recruits firmly against military service…so much so, that there has been a quietly increasing spate of military officers “speaking truth to power”, pointing out that the current world strategic will eventually force the United States to return to conscription, the dreaded “D-word”, that has been anathema to both the political and military spheres alike, for fifty years, since peacetime conscription was ended in the US by President Richard M. Nixon in 1973.
The neo-cons have painted themselves into a corner: They have relentlessly pursued aggressive policies that have burned off most of any good will built up by the United States over the past four decades, in pursuit of a strategy of continual conflict that requires a level of military recruitment that is a pale memory. At the same time, their actions have severely damaged the US economy, because markets not under a regimen of centralized planning respond poorly to toxic cycles of borrowing money, then borrowing more money to simply pay the interest, all while expanding the pool of currency by running the printing presses at high speed.
With much of the potential military recruit-base firmly rejecting staggering enlistment bonuses of over $50,000, there will come a point where the United States will be forced to attempt to revive the Draft for 18-to-30 year-olds…and there has been legislation language already draft, that was repeatedly submitted for some thirteen years.
While the Progmericans (which are no Americans at all) continue to ree-ree over the January 6 protests of an illegal Mass Mailer election that they claim was LITERALLY worse than 9/11, they cheer the storming of the U.S. capitol by “Americans” protesting resistance to the genocidal death cult known as Hamas. The “protestors,” (actual insurrectionists) illegally stormed the Capitol Rotunda and ripped down a pro-Israel sign in front of Representative Randy Weber’s (R-TX) office.
The violent anti-American, anti-God, pro-Jewish-genocide insurrectionists were led by the Orwellian-named group “Jewish Voice for peace,” a self-hating Jewish organization that is aligned with Hamas’ goals of wiping the Jews off the face of “Palestine” to “liberate Palestinians.”
While the Capitol Police have arrested the protestors, no charges have yet to be charged against them, and one doubts there ever will be.
As the demonstration was broken up, authorities announced that “Due to First Amendment activities on Capitol Grounds, all pedestrian entry points to the House Office Buildings [were] restricted to Members and Staff ONLY.”
Outside the House office buildings, a speaker in another group of “ceasefire now” demonstrators lamented the fact that “some people are afraid of our movement” which, again, is advocating for Hamas terrorist interests by calling for a ceasefire to restrict Israel’s ability to take out the Iran-backed terrorists who continue to launch rockets at Israeli civilians.
Rally speaker says, “Some people are afraid of our movement…”
In addition to the protests and demonstrations, some activists apparently defaced the exterior of buildings on Capitol Hill with calls to “Free Palestine.”
In a show of solidarity with Israel, Rep. Brandon Williams showed up to the Cannon Rotunda demonstration with an Israeli flag:

A racist referendum failed to win over the Australian people, although nearly 40 percent (overwhelmingly white, upper-middle class, and urban, the same classes that dominate fascist leftism in America and the UK) voted for it. The referendum would create a de facto tribunal of indigenous Australians who, by their race alone, would be qualified to check any law, any regulation the Australian legislature and administration might create or modify.
When the idea was first proposed, of creating a race-based tribunal to have more de facto power to check government than even our Supreme Court does (and not having to even rely on Rule of Law to do so), 60 to 70 percent of Australians supported it. They must not have fully understood the ramifications of the racist referendum, however, for as the campaign wore on and they realized this wasn’t just an “advisory body” but one that would result in real de facto law-changing powers, the mood changed and the leftist fascists lost their opportunity to condition a people to accept their brand of totalitarian authoritarianism based on racial hierarchies (race fascism).
The language itself smacks of race supremacism, referring to the “Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples” as being the First Peoples of Australia. The First Peoples in the subconscious mind becomes the best people, and the crafters of this language know full well the hate they are spreading, the divisions they hope to create between the Aboriginals and everyone else.
The crafters of the Yes position tried to avoid the obvious fact that this was, on its face, an explicitly racist law, but that didn’t fly with the Australian people, who are now being accused of being racist for rejecting a racist law.
Aware that this was No’s strongest argument, Yes tried to rebut it by pointing out that there is only one human race, which means distinctions based on race can’t exist. The distinction, Yes claimed, is one only of ancestry, and refers to “inherent rights Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples hold as the original inhabitants of the Australian continent.”
Lawyers call this sort of argument “trivially true”. Biological race does not exist among humans. We are not genetically distinct enough. Chimpanzees possess biological race (biologists use the term “sub-species”). Humans don’t. However, Aboriginal ancestry in even tiny amounts stands out in a 23andMe test. The Yes claim that the Voice wasn’t conferring rights based on race thus looked like prestidigitation. Descent from the First Peoples of Australia (a real thing) was being used to draw distinctions between groups in the same way that nineteenth century racists drew distinctions based on race (not a real thing).
It also led to a situation where people who voted against a proposed law intended to distinguish between groups of Australians based on ancestry and cultural practice were accused of racism. I’m afraid those who support race-based policies designed to ameliorate “structural disadvantage” or “inequity” – of which the Voice is one – need to understand that to most people, they just look like more racism.
When leftists “defend” their perverse positions based on fear, hate, and fake hope, to the non-indoctrinated, their “best” arguments simply expose their true depravity even more, as has happened here, and hopefully will happen elsewhere in the world, including here in America where perversion is glorified and righteousness is outlawed.
Let us start off by addressing the proverbial elephant in the room.
On October 7th, 2023, the forces of Hamas – the Palestinian terror group with such delusions of legitimacy that they haven’t bothered with elections since attaining power – launched a short, sharp and brutal assault into southern Israel. For the first time since the rise of ISIL in 2011, the world was “treated” to a level of sadistic brutality that beggars the imagination. The acts of savagery – including the live-streamed slaughter, brutalization and kidnapping of mostly under-30 year olds at a literal “peace festival” – stunned the “polite” world as much as the apparent failure of some of the most vaunted intelligence services in the world.
The resulting war, on the fifty-year anniversary of the first “Yom Kippur War”, is now being termed “Israel’s 9/11”.
This article will not go any further into the political situation. Likewise, “sides” are not our purpose, here. This is strictly an examination of Hamas’ military operations, based on published reports and “informed supposition”, from October 7 to October 14, 2023. A much more in-depth examination of the situation will be available to our subscribers towards the end of the month.
OVERVIEW
In the early dawn hours of October 7, Hamas combat units launched a “broad spectrum” attack from its sanctuaries in the Gaza Strip. The assault opened with a massive and concentrated barrage of rocket artillery. The artillery assault was large enough and concentrated enough that it overwhelmed the “Iron Dome” anti-missile system that Israel has relied on for over a decade to defend itself from such attacks.
As the rocket attacks opened, mobile combat groups – some dressed in Israeli Defense Force (IDF) uniforms – infiltrated border checkpoints and massacred or captured the troops within, most of whom seem to have still been asleep. Simultaneously, other units conducted combat breaching operations at several points along the border, using a variety of techniques, ranging from simple RPG-7 rocket, to dedicated breaching charges, to using civilian construction equipment to batter holes in the security fences. Mobil combat groups, mounted on “technicals” and small motorcycles, quickly swarmed through the breaches, and fanned out to assault small town and villages, ultimately capturing and holding these urban areas for up to four days, a circumstance that has not happened since Israel’s War of Independence in 1948.

Perhaps most spectacularly, an airborne element assaulted the aforementioned peace festival using “paragliders” to insert a raiding force into the festival grounds, timed to strike shortly before the arrival a relief convoy mounted in technicals.
In both cases, at the peace festival and in Israeli urban settlements, Hamas forces deliberately massacred civilians, and captured as many as possible, carting them off to Gaza to be explicitly used as hostages and human shields against the expected Israeli counterattack. This has resulted in the largest number of Jewish lives lost in a single weekend since the Holocaust of World War Two.
While some Hamas forces held out for as long as four or five days in places, the bulk of surviving Hamas units had retreated into Gaza within seventy-two hours.
ANALYSIS
Hamas’ attack, on the purely tactical level, stands as a masterclass in operational deception, tactical ingenuity, flexibility and maximizing limited supplies on a shoestring budget.
It was also a complete and abject failure.
Way back in 2022, we discussed the emerging phenomenon of small-scale, targeted, and focused military training that was available to the general public around the world with nothing more than an internet connection. And that remains true – anyone who is at least moderately intelligent and educated can learn a very great deal by searching out real military informational guides via the internet.
The unspoken cautionary warning in the last paragraph is that such information, if not presented in a coherent manner, will most certainly not convey the level of competence necessary to fight and win.
Case in point – Hamas.
While Hamas demonstrated a surprisingly level of competence at the commando/light infantry level of warfare, its forces were absolutely no match for their enemy, once that enemy roused itself, and organized a coordinated counterattack. While Hamas’ leadership seems to have understood this, in a strictly tactical sense, it completely failed to tie tactical acumen to a realistic operational or strategic plan.
There was no possibility that Hamas was going to “win” against Israel in a conventional military sense. Hamas could – and did – certainly bloody Israel’s nose, exposing staggering complacency within the IDF, while also demonstrating the stark reminder that unarmed civilians are nothing but targets in a combat environment. As a result, as of this writing (October 16th 2023), the IDF has eliminated all Hamas forces that remained within Israel after the initial assault…and the IDF is now girding for an all-out assault into the Gaza Strip to put an end to Hamas, once and for all, world opinion be damned.
This also demonstrated the defective strategic thinking of Hamas, as the avowed purpose of taking hostages, to be used as human shields – and joyously live-streaming it via the internet – is something that they allowed themselves to believe would be a viable tool of negotiation with Israel…The problem being, this is not an “intifada” – Hamas’ very success is the agent of their coming destruction, because the State of Israel will now stop at nothing to destroy them.
Put more prosaically, Hamas’ combination of tactical acumen with idiotic and outdated strategic thinking, is effectively the strategy for a “live action” first-person shooter video game, like a combination of “Call of Duty” with “Grand Theft Auto”, where the player gets more rewards for being more ruthless and savage, a view that is being reinforced daily, with the gleeful cheering on of troops in combat zones operating drone that drop grenades on enemy forces…just like in a video game – and if a war crime is committed in the process, that is worth double-XP.
Video games, however, are not real life. They are nothing more than a pale and warped reflection of reality – and basing your military plans on visions of video game victory is not simply a poor strategy, it is a strategy of suicide.
Yours.
Write that on your hand, if you need to.

Fifty years and one to the day of the launching of the Yom Kippur War in 1973 (October 6, 1973) by Israel’s Arab neighbors Hamas has launched a massive attack by air, land, and sea aimed at provoking a final Arab-Israeli war and destroying the state of Israel once and for all. While such goals may be delusional fantasies of deranged extremists, the deadly import of this massive terrorist strike in dozens of locations with over 5,000 rockets fired in 20 minutes is certainly getting all of Israel’s attention.
Dozens of Arab terrorist cells have entered Israeli towns, killing Jews and taking hostages, and engaging in running gun battles with the IDF while rockets hurt and killed Jews across the State of Israel. In some instances, the Arabs have destroyed border fencing and checkpoints with Gaza and Israel, have occupied Israeli terroritory, and even seized Israeli armored vehicles.
While compared to the 1973 war, this onslaught is not major, as compared to all previous terror attacks, but this is a major attack and but is also more akin to a localized but all-out military engagement in a more conventional sense. In terms of the collective Israeli psyche, this has the same clarifying urgency and is eliciting the same kind of unity of outrage as the 1973 attack.
Of note, the conflict inside Israel over judicidal reform, in which a rogue Israeli Supreme Court was subverted by the left to essentially overturn actions by elected leaders, has been set aside. The same leftist groups urging Israelis not to answer call-ups from the military, so-called Refuseniks, have now urged all Israelis to immediately answer the call but their previous meddling in military affairs to protest in favor of judicial dictatorship may have contributed dramatically to the lack of preparation for this attack.
It’s too soon to speak of repercussions and recriminations, but already some are looking at the drama and division caused by the left, all to support judicidal supremacism to wit unelected leftist judges ruled by judicidal fiat, as aiding Israel’s Arab foes whose end is the extermination of the Jews from the Levant. But for now, the leftist opposition parties have united and declared “there is no opposition now” in light of the widely acknowledged fact Israel is at war.
Israel is celebrating Shemini Atzeret, a special holiday at the end of Sukkoth, and was in a mostly stand-down state of being, much as it was on Yom Kippur 50 years ago. A surprise Arab attack back then almost saw Israel overwhelmed. This attack was certainly a surprise, but at present, it has nothing near the same level of threat, though the genocidal intent remains the same. Few in the West, filled with corpostate media propaganda about “oppressed Palestinians” (Arabs by a different name), understand that the entirety of the Arab leadership in Gaza and in Judea and Samaria, are devoted to the removal of the Jews from the Holy Land.
The current American President’s gambit to force the “Palestinian question” into Saudi-Israeli peace talks may indeed come to naught as none of the Arab powers support the “Palestinian” Jihadist aims any more and all seem fully aware that without Iran and Turkey supporting this “Palestinian” uprising it would have been possible for some form of peace between Arabs and Jews in Israel. Saudi Arabia’s response to this fight has been remarkable: they called on Hamas to stop and for cool heads to prevail, instead of just condemning Israel.
Stay tuned here for updates as and when needed as news is revealed. Our focus will be less on compiling events and more on uncovering things not reported and giving more strategic insights than blow by blow coverage, which many news outlets are doing, though we recommend Israelnationalnews.com and Jpost.com for ongoing live coverage.
Early reports indicate possibly dozens of Israelis, including many soldiers, have been abducted and taken as hostages into Gaza, making this an unprecedented attack that is sure to elicit an extreme and unforgiving response toward all Arabs in all of Israel’s territory, without mercy. This could dramatically harm the average Arab living in these lands, who is deluded into thinking the time for pushing the Jews into the sea is at hand. An unwillingness to even countenance the existence of the State of Israel as a Jewish country that is also welcoming to its non-Jewish citizens: the goal of most Arabs in Israel is to exterminate the Jewish presence from the Holy Land.
The death toll is climbing as of 10:30 AM Eastern, US time, while at least 7 Israeli communities are at least partially occupied or under immediate armed threat by Arab militants.
