The chief IDF spokesman also said that the US naval vessels with the UE Aegis system gave Israel an additional layer of defense against attack.

Increased US presence in the region, including the impending visit of US President Joe Biden, is deterring Hezbollah from larger war, but is not delaying an IDF invasion of Gaza, IDF Spokesperson Brig. Gen. Daniel Hagari claimed on Tuesday.

Regarding Hezbollah, Hagari said that dozens of US aircraft now in the regioncan each carry out around 160 attacks, exponentially increasing the threat to Hezbollah and Iran should choose to join the Israel-Gaza war in a more aggressive manner.

Hypocrisy of Hamas: "Gazans Can't Leave" But Leaders are Abroad

Hypocrisy of Hamas: "Gazans Can't Leave" But Leaders are Abroad. Hamas leaders say that ordinary Gazans should not leave the country's north despite the warning by Israel. But the Hamas leaders themselves live abroad with their families. Hamas chief Ismail Haniyeh and his family have been accused of corruption. They reportedly have Turkish passports and businesses around the world. This hypocrisy is prevalent across all militant outfits. Why are there different rules for the leaders and their families?

Case in point: US Secretary of State Antony Blinken went to Saudi Arabia, and called for pressure on Hamas – all in vain.

Postcards from a Police State: 22 Years of Blowback from the USA Patriot Act

“Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger.

For those who remember the days and months that followed 9/11, there is an unnerving feeling of déjà vu about the Hamas attacks on Israel.

The existence of UFOs and extraterrestrials is hotly debated online. After the United States government released a tranche of files that are purported to contain information on alien life, craft, and alleged sightings over a broad number of years, an increased interest in UFOs and the recirculation of videos has ramped up.

Two videos – both from the year 2019 – were recently reshared that appear to show alien crafts in the sky. One clip was filmed over the American state of North Carolina. Another meanwhile, was shot over Havana, Cuba, and was even featured on American television.

Was it just a coincidence that we witnessed a “Ring Of Fire Eclipse” as the great Middle East war begins?

We sure have been experiencing a lot of “coincidences” lately, haven’t we? On Friday, Israeli forces conducted their first localized raids inside Gaza. Then on Saturday, the path of a spectacular “ring of fire” solar eclipse marched across the continental United States.

Is it just a coincidence that this eclipse has happened just as the Great Middle East War is commencing? Throughout human history, eclipses have often coincided with tragic events and major historical turning points. For example, earlier today I came across an article that took a look back at “the World War I eclipse”…

It's time to leave earth.
