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.

Nasrallah’s funeral being commemorated in NY.

How lovely

One can only shake their head.

We have never and will never make any headway by trying to befriend those who hate us.

I was surprised that the funeral was only yesterday. I thought they buried the bastard within a day or two of his demise.
