Well...

And all this time I’ve been worried about cameras in my AirBnbs

@George-K Wow!!

I doubt this is a major threat, still it’s surprising they still have this capability 10 months in.

How big are these rockets? Manufacturing them seems like it would be trivial, if there are so many being launched.

Well...

What happened? Did the Revolutionary Guard put a DEI Hire at the lead position?

The female guard members probably thought the dynamite was a scented candle…

Jordan to Allow Israel to Use Its Airspace Against Iran

Jordan is reportedly permitting Israel to use its airspace to counter potential Iranian attacks, despite the official stance of the Jordanian government.

According to a high-ranking source in Amman cited by Israeli Channel 12, this decision aligns with Jordan’s broader security interests and its policy of collaboration with Israel, as demonstrated in April when Jordan assisted in thwarting an Iranian attack.

The source emphasized that Jordan’s actions are consistent with its strategic alliance with the United States, despite its public denials of such cooperation. This revelation comes amid heightened tensions following the recent killing of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran, which Iran attributes to Israel, although Israel has not officially confirmed or denied involvement.

Reports suggest that Jordan had previously granted Israel similar permissions in April during an Iranian missile and drone attack. This latest development reflects the complex geopolitical dynamics in the region as Jordan navigates its alliances and security concerns amid ongoing regional conflicts.

POTATUS: "Don't go to Rafah"

They were in fact killed as Israeli forces were entering the area.

Not to blame Israel for their deaths but this is hardly evidence that Biden’s advice was bad.

Fair enough.

Do you think they'd have been released if his advice had been followed? Something tells me...no.

[jon-nyc]

Actually the editorializing in the Israeli press today is that, had Netanyahu not insisted on controlling the Philadelphi corridor, they would have been released in the deal that fell apart last month.

I can’t weigh in on that question but I can say that tying this to Biden seems a little desperate. Maybe even disrespectful.

At least I didn't call for him to be caged.

[jon-nyc]

Not disrespectful to Biden. But maybe when we learn that six young hostages were murdered our response shouldn’t be ‘how can we use this for our political advantage?’

(Not accusing you of the latter, but the website you lifted it from)
