Hamas & IDF Ground Forces Clash For 1st Time Inside Gaza: Israeli Soldier Killed, Others Wounded

  ZeroHedge   "Hamas has claimed to have repelled a brief Israeli ground incursion, in what marks the first such reported direct ground fight between two sides in Gaza. The Al-Qassam Brigades announced its fighters destroyed two Israeli military bulldozers and a tank as part of an ambush amid the IDF's conducting 'limited' incursions into the strip.

" 'The soldiers of the Zionist force that fell into the Khan Younis ambush left their vehicles and fled east of the fence on foot," the Hamas wing said on social media. The IDF as expected did not confirm the claims, saying only that "shots were fired at IDF soldiers operating west of the Gaza Strip security fence, in the area of Kissufim." Instead, the IDF said only that "An IDF tank struck the terrorist cell who fired at the soldiers" - but did confirm its forces were operating inside Gaza at the time of the incident. 

"The IDF appears to have begun taking casualties, and the major ground offensive has yet to even begin. Importantly, an IDF statement cited in a fresh Times of Israel update appears to back Hamas' account of repelling the IDF tank and bulldozers:

A soldier was killed and three others were hurt on Sunday after Hamas attacked troops carrying out an operation on the western side of the Gaza border fence, near the southern community of Kissufim.

The operation was part of the military’s searches for bodies of missing Israelis, and to clear the area for Israel’s upcoming ground offensive.

The Israel Defense Forces said an anti-tank guided missile was fired at an Israeli tank and engineering vehicle, and troops responded by shelling the terror cell. Terror group Hamas claimed responsibility for the attack." . . .

 University Of California Professor Threatens Pro-Israel Journalists And Their Families  "The University of California at Davis is embroiled in a controversy involving one of its faculty threatening “zionist journalists” in a violent tirade on X. UC Davis Professor (and undergraduate adviser) Jemma Decristo posted the screed on October 10th referencing the homes and family of those who support Israel as possible targets. The university is investigating the matter, but Decristo’s embrace of violence is nothing new for faculty around the country. For years, faculty members have engaged in violent rhetoric directed toward conservatives and Republicans with little response from universities.

"Decristo wrote:

one group of ppl we have easy access to in the US is all these zionist journalists who spread propaganda and misinformation … they have houses w addresses, kids in school, they can fear their bosses, but they should fear us more.”

After the Jim Jordan fiasco in Congress, the GOP's traitors out themselves

 Patricia McCarthy - American Thinker

To the millions of us who desperately wanted Jim Jordan to become Speaker, those twenty-five spoilers will forever be known to a large majority of Republicans as traitors, betrayers.  


"The uniparty, that deep state bureaucracy that rules over us all, determined that the people should not have the Speaker of their choice.  

"A clear majority of Republicans wanted Rep. Jim Jordan to replace Rep. Kevin McCarthy for good and obvious reasons.  But twenty-five members of the House GOP revealed themselves to be petty, sniveling, chumps who decided that the people should not have a say.  

"They don’t like Jordan because he was the founder of the Freedom Caucus and supports President Trump.  They hate Rep. Matt Gaetz because he upset their apple cart, that safe, wealth-producing space they so comfortably occupy in D.C.  

"But Gaetz has been listening to the people.  He knew that we knew McCarthy was a classic RINO, an anti-Trump, pro-Pelosi operator who broke the promises he made to become Speaker.  He got Pelosi’s misnamed “debt ceiling” bill passed with unlimited spending for two years.  He agreed to another CR, or, continuing resolution on runaway spending.  He did nothing about the promised impeachments of Merrick Garland, Alejandro Mayorkas, Christopher Wray and Joe Biden. He did nothing to even attempt a solution to the invasion over our southern border.  Like far too many of the rest of the Republicans, he was always and only working for himself and his donors and lobbyists, Sequoia Financial among them. 

A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious.  But it cannot survive treason from within.”  --Marcus Tullius Cicero

"Matt Gaetz did Republicans a favor; his motion to vacate McCarthy from the Speaker's chair has shown us all who the people in Congress actually represent, who they actually are. Now we know who those twenty-five "no" voters are; their allegiance is not to the American people.  It’s to their defense industry donors and lobbyists.  They’ve let us know how angry they are that the people have expressed their preference for Jordan.  One member of the House called our phone calls and emails “abuse.” They do not think they should have to listen to us peons." . . . 

Open Sources Demolish the Legacy Media

 Clarice Feldman- American Thinker   "Islamist butchers, and their media and academic buddies, failed in their latest rerun of the war against Israel. In the days before online media, particularly Elon Musk’s X, the storyline was a familiar one. Israel would be attacked and the mainstream media would be flooded with accounts from local reporters and photographers and embedded compromised national reporters of civilian injuries and deaths during any response. The emotional response would follow: a call would come for Israel to pull back before taking effective charge of the enemy, and the United States would force its hand.

"Not this time. This time, we could see accounts from both sides, from the pictures and bios of the murdered, injured, and kidnapped civilians, who hailed from countries around the world. This time we could see the videos of the Israeli response. This time we could see the pictures of the bloodshed and hear the accounts of among others, the forensic scientists who examined the butchered bodies of the victims.

"This time we could hear the voices of, not only Jews, but Bedouins, Moslems, and Druze in Israel and Moslems in neighboring countries as anti-Hamas as you can find anywhere. This time we could see who was supporting this butchery in the West. This time, those who spread the blood libel are fully exposed.

"On X Steven Sinofsky explains the revolution in reporting." . . .

The Blood Libel that Israel had deliberately targeted a hospital in Gaza, resulting in 500 civilian deaths, was published by, to my knowledge, every major domestic press and television channel. Its source was AP, whose sole source was apparently Hamas. Huge anti-Israel and anti-Jewish demonstrations followed all around the globe. An ancient synagogue was demolished in Tunisa, another was attacked in Spanish Melilla, and Jews and their schools and houses of worship were under threat almost everywhere. . . .

Meanwhile here in America with Democrats:

. . ."I think a person who celebrates Hamas and worked for the PLO has no business being on the government payroll vetting Palestinian asylum applications. I think medical personnel praising the murders of Israeli civilians and wishing death on Jews should not be treating hospital patients; I think a professor who calls the barbaric slaughter of Israelis "exhilarating" does not belong on the school's roster, a school which I'm sure just days ago was enforcing rules that speech which offends anyone must be punished to maintain the institution as a safe space. I think the Squad, which encouraged and probably aided a riot in the Capitol, should be stripped from their party's caucus and all committee slots."

The George Floyd, Jr. Narrative Unraveled

  American Greatness

His demise reminds us that we live in a country governed by the rule of narrative

"I wonder what Derek Chauvin is thinking these days?

He’s the former Minneapolis cop who became the Scapegoat Number One after George Floyd—sorry, St. George Floyd—died from a Fentanyl overdose while resisting arrest in May 2020.

"As all the world knows, that is not how The Narrative tells it. Witness Wikipedia, that Great Repository of Approved Narratives. “George Perry Floyd Jr.,” it begins, “was an African-American man who was murdered by a police officer in Minneapolis, Minnesota, during an arrest made after a store clerk suspected Floyd may have used a counterfeit twenty-dollar bill, on May 25, 2020.”

"“Murdered,” eh?  “May” have passed a counterfeit bill, you say?

"Well, that’s what we were told.

"It takes a long time for someone to be canonized in the Catholic Church. There is an official process to be followed. Some miracles have to be recorded. One moves from being denominated a Servus Dei, a “servant of God,” to the status of being Venerabilis, to Beatus, and finally Sanctus. It’s much easier and much quicker with our secular saints. All you need is a festering politically correct grievance, a compliant media, and a terrified justice system.

"So it was with the woman-and-drug abusing felon George Perry Floyd Jr. His corpse was not cold before he was elevated to secular sainthood  and became the mascot for the Black Lives Matter hooligans who, over the course of a year or more, inflicted more than $2 billion of property damage, injured or maimed scores of people, and released a mesmerizing, racially fortified toxin into the atmosphere that addled the minds and hearts of all the beautiful people who run the country and from which we have yet to recover fully. Last week, on the occasion of Floyd’s birthday, Joe Biden prayed at the shrine, issuing an emetic White House statement “to honor his life and legacy” and urge us “to redeem the soul of America.”

"Back in 2021, Derek Chauvin, along with three of his police colleagues, were offered up as sacrificial lambs by Minneapolis prosecutors. ChaUvin was slapped with federal and well as state convictions and, as I write, is rotting in an Arizona prison for the murder of Floyd." . . .

Our kneeling, remorseful Democrats made a big impression around the world, such as with British writer Sophie Corcoran:



Moral clarity on Israel from a chess player

A decent mind - not the mind of a Joe Biden, AOC, Tlaib, or anyone sitting in Congress on the side wearing matching outfits and scowling faces. Like these from the past below. TD

Mr Scranton and Mr. Chappaquiddick

 Moral clarity on Israel from Garry Kasparov - American Thinker   . . .The fabulously logical chess mind he has, his old Inner Khazar of his Georgian nationality, (the Khazars were known for their love for logic and law), is back.

He made a series of tweets explaining and justifying Israel's war against Hamas with such strength and clarity against all those pro-Hamas goobers out there that I keep going back to them to savor that fine thinking when it seems that much of the civilized world has gone to pot. This is why Israel must fight the war it must fight, destroying Hamas, and that that war is just.

He rocks it with these tweets:

It’s Not About Politics or Israel, It’s About Islam and Always Has Been –

  PJ Media

Notice that every attack has some weak excuse for the murders that take place. Most are paper thin. The most recent attack was supposedly because the border wall suppresses them and makes them feel like their lair is an “open air prison.”

. . ."During that first siege of Vienna in 1529, the invading Muslim horde decided that “children were to be cut out of their mother’s wombs and stuck on pikes.” Are we to believe that was just a protest against colonialism or capitalism? When a Muslim chronicle boasted that, during the genocide against the Sikhs in the 18th century, “the shrieks of the women captives who were being raped deafened the ears of the people,” was this a response to globalism or Zionism? Perhaps was this simply Islam.

"In 1929, a Muslim mob attacked the Jewish city of Safed. The attackers burst into an orphanage and “smashed the children’s heads and cut off their hands.” Later that same year, another attack known as the Hebron massacre killed 69 Jews. The event also left scores seriously wounded or maimed. Jewish homes were pillaged, and synagogues were ransacked. Some of the 435 Jews who survived were hidden by local Arab families. The attackers were supposedly triggered to violence by rumors that Jews were planning to seize control of the Temple Mount in Jerusalem."
