Hmmm, I think I'm going to tear up that, "Apply now to be the next head of Hezbollah" flyier I just got in the mail, sent to Occupant!

The Mossad must have infiltrated every nook and cranny of Hezbollah to pull off this continuous succession of highly successful wet ops.

[Tom-K]

Sometime or other Hezbollah and those that love them have got to figure out they are WAY outclasses.

@Tom-K

In a real world one would think that. In the collective mind/fantasy world of Islamic fanatics that can never be so.

Qatar agreed in recent weeks to kick Hamas out of its country following a request from the US to do so, capping off months of failed attempts to try to get the militant group – whose top leaders reside in the Qatari capital of Doha – to accept a ceasefire and hostage release deal in the Israel-Hamas war, US and Qatari sources told CNN.

With efforts to pause the war – which has been a top priority for President Joe Biden – firmly stalled, US officials informed their Qatari counterparts about two weeks ago that they must stop giving Hamas refuge in their capital; Qatar agreed and gave Hamas notice about a week ago, sources said.

“Hamas is a terrorist group that has killed Americans and continues to hold Americans hostage,” a senior administration official told CNN. “After rejecting repeated proposals to release hostages, its leaders should no longer be welcome in the capitals of any American partner.”

Big if true.

[Mik]

Good idea. Should have been done long ago. Like many administrations ago.

Funny that this was announced after Trump was elected.

Lots of impacts in Northern Israel today.

According to Woodward’s book they agreed to it shortly after 10/7 but a joint decision was made to wait so that Qatar could be a mediator in behind the scenes negotiations. This must mean they no longer see any hope for negotiations.

I really question the decision to do that interview. The agents, the one anyway, were arrogant.

[bachophile]

They got a good price.

I heard an interview today with an ex mossad deputy director. He was against any publicity on mossad operations but in this case, since everyone in the world knew it was mossad, they decided to go public and deepen Iranian humiliation. Maybe send the Houthis a message. But the main target was and always will be Iran.

That's clearly rigged. I mean, leaving off the US is fair enough based on the gibberish a lot of you chaps speak, but where's England? I know plenty of English people who speak it almost as well the Dutch.
