This happens all the time -
Worst case scenario: Potluck.

I think it dies down again.

too many people are posting the old news on twitter right now.

if something bigger happens we should see it on haaretz first...

The press release that it was an isolated incident appears to indicate it is over.

it's a little off topic but this video might interest you:

her analysis on what has to happen explicitly points out america's role in the coming conflict...

of course it's "isolated" - one of the Hezbollah's seniors killed in these clashes.

Ms. Glick is one step away from cutting her own ear off.

Sweet! Now if we can get Hezbollah, the Sunni militias, AND the christian militias all shooting at each other at the same time in Beirut...Be like the old days...

Wow ... instability - tension in the Middle East? Who would have thunk it? This whole region is characterized by centuries old "instability" and it is more properly termed "flux" as it is an ongoing cycle. Allegiances and alliances are formed ... and they dissolve. On some "hot button" issues it is possible to form a consensus based response, however, these instances are short lived.

The whole Middle East (SE Asia) dynamic evades western paradigms. There is no "the" solution and anyone with a reasonable grasp of regional history readily sees this point. It is going to take time ... a lot of time for the various groups in the Middle East to come to something like an over-arching cooperative umbrella. What escapes the pointy-heads in Washington, DC, is that no one in this area values the opinions of a bunch of wonks sitting on their greedy, bloated butts in some safe zone. Interference is not appreciated on any level.

The people here need to work things out in their own fashion, in their own time. BYW, I am a Contractor working “here” and we are all in the business of others with no end in sight and very little in the way of good outcomes to show for all our blood shed. The whole news media slant is so distorted as to be correctly termed “disinformation” or intentionally manufactured misinformation. What passes for news on all sides is nothing more than hidden agenda fueled propaganda with all of zero credibility.

Anything else happening?

LOL, religious and political are the whole programmed game.

I'm 20 minutes into this video. She about tears up when she says that so many missiles are pointed at "tiny Israel". That would be the tiny Israel that is armed to the teeth with enough nukes to destroy the planet. The same tiny Israel who has caused so much misery and murder to the native inhabitants of the land stolen by the British and "given" to Rothschild. What a complete narcissist predator - with her victim mentality. She talks about a nuclear Iran dominating the region, while nucelar Israel dominates the region.

I don't want to see anyone have nuclear weapons. Had Israel never acquired them (which is what JFK was so opposed to and may have been the reason for his assassination), none of this would be happening. Had Mossedegh not been overthrown FOR THE GODDAMN BRITISH, there would be no fundy Islamic rule in Iran, which has millions of wonderful people.

All of this, ALL OF THIS can be laid squarely at the feet of the British empire and their treasonous loyalists in the US.

OMG, now she goes on about Iran wanting jews to live as "subjugated minorities". I guess she means like the Palestininas, eh?

What a complete cunt.

BTW, when she talks about Israel, she says "we" so I assume she's an Israeli. Yet, she speaks like an American. So, I guess she's part of the international cult of jewry that feels entitled to the home and land of OTHER PEOPLE. Another parasite, IOW. Another parasite whining about the "international community" and the US and how the rest of us should have to enable this cancer upon humanity.

I think the end is getting for Israel and I hope it's SOON. I hope it comes about as a total withdrawl of ANY outside enabling of these criminals and that NO VIOLENCE occurs when it all comes crashing down.

Oh, she's get worse. DEMANDING that Americans re-supply military Israel in the event that THEY attack another country.

Fuck. Unbelievable arrogance.

You only lie to yourself.

you can't handle the truth.

Thank you for posting this video, OP of many names.

This is some real insight into how dangerous it is to have people who are loyal to other nations in one's midst.


A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear. The traitor is the plague.

you're welcome!

"..there is an atmosphere of dread in Israel right now because the United States has abdicated it's responsibility.."

Come on, America! Israel wants MORE of your blood and your money. Send your sons and daughters to fight and die and for ZION and the chosen ones. If you don't, they pull another false flag and you'll be sorry! Sacrifice your kid, today, and keep America safe.
