The courageous Max Blumenthal had a conversation with Dave Smith about why, and how, everyone should visit Israel, to determine for themselves what is going on there. Max’s autobiographical account tells about his first trip there. He also reveals something not only about corruption of youth under the guise...

I was asked by USA Today to respond to remarks made by Hasan Piker about Zionism. Piker claimed as follows: “Zionism is the ethnoreligious supremacist ideology that is exterminationist in principle, born out of the wrong assessment that this was a land without people for a people without land. It required the extermination of the indigenous population, and that's precisely what has happened since its inception. And its final iteration of that has been the Gaza genocide that we watched unfold.” You can call a blowtorch an avocado as many times as you want, but it still doesn’t have a seed, and it still isn’t green because it’s still just a blowtorch. The claim that Zionism is an exterminationist ideology is just as nonsensical as calling a blowtorch an avocado. The suggestion that Jews want to exterminate the Arabs who also live on the land is likewise, as it has always been, ludicrous and false. Zionism is a simple idea, which is that Jews have the same rights — not more rights, but also not fewer rights — than every other people on Earth have to sovereignty in their national homeland. So just as you might think that Bulgarians have the right to sovereignty in their homeland, Japanese people, Korean people, German people all have the right to sovereignty in their homeland, Zionism is just the idea that Jews should be treated the same. By the way, this is in the charter, the charter that is the foundation of the state of Israel. In that document, the word ‘extermination,’ of course, would never appear there, but anything that even remotely resembles that word or idea is foreign to any of the early laws or that document. In fact, the document says precisely the opposite. The document says that one of the purposes of the state of Israel is to allow Jews and Arabs alike to live in peace and to flourish together in the land of Israel. That's what the Declaration of Independence of the State of Israel says, and by the way, that's what the state of Israel has proven, more so than what it said in 1948, in the decades since.

NBC’s Garrett Haake: “To the degree that this speech tonight is about elections past, not elections upcoming, the 2020 election has had dozens of recounts, lawsuits, audits. The 2024 election widely believed to be safe and secure. There’s not really any question about that. There’s a lot of people look at this —” Karoline Leavitt Karoline Leavitt: “Because it was too big to rig.” Haake: “— well, I think a lot of people look at this and wonder —” Leavitt: “There was a massive amount of votes for this President. That’s why he’s in the Oval Office right now.” Haake: “No one disputes that. There were a significant amount of votes for Joe Biden, who won in 2020. I mean, think the question is, why is the President unable to let this go?” Leavitt: “Well, first of all, Garrett, I think part of the problem is that the media has refused to acknowledge that tens of millions of Americans across the country share the concerns of this President about the sanctity of our elections and your premise of your question, you’re jumping ahead to a conclusion in this speech before even hearing it yourself. I think that everyone should tune in tonight, including the people in this room, and you should report on the President’s speech and the findings that he is going to reveal in this speech with a little bit of honesty and a little bit of integrity, because it does — it will shock you if you have an honest eye listening to the President tonight and everything he is saying will be backed by — by — by facts and by evidence that will be provided this evening. And again, Garrett, again, I think all Americans, Democrat or Republican, should agree that we are the greatest country in the history of the world. We should have the safest and most secure elections in the history of the world, and what the President will be speaking about tonight will show you that perhaps that is not the case, and we need to make some adjustments moving forward, including the SAVE America Act, as Rachael pointed out, is a key legislative priority for this President on Capitol Hill, and he wants to see all senators and members of Congress voting in favor of the SAVE America Act, because it’s crucially important as we move forward.”

PROF. JEFFREY SACHS: 2 MILLION ARE STARVING IN GAZA IN FRONT OF OUR EYES ‘There is no doubt Mossad and the CIA have been joined at the hip for more than 60 years. We know a lot about that. But, whether that also means basically the blackmail of a lot of the American political class, it’s possible, this is widely suspected, I don’t know, but it’s possible. So there is a mystery. The mystery is that the American people roughly, two to one, side with Palestine right now. They view Palestine as being butchered, starved to death, ethnically cleansed and they don’t like it. So that’s the baseline of politics in the United States, which is that what Israel is doing is seen as truly despicable. Which it is. And yet the American politics goes the other way. It’s not news to say that American foreign policy is in the hands of the military-industrial complex, not in the hands of public opinion. That’s a truism that happens to be true. But it also raises a puzzle. Why? What is going on? We can see starvation of 2 million people in front of our eyes and I was just at a UN Security Council session, listening. And the American representative couldn’t utter one word about the starvation of 2 million people.’ -Prof. Jeffrey Sachs on the latest episode of Going Underground, full interview below in the replies 👇

Batya Ungar-Sargon says accusing Israel of genocide has become the price of entry for Democratic socialists and the broader left. “It’s not noticing the tragedy and feeling for the people of Gaza that gets you entry to the left.” “It’s lying about Israel, claiming that it perpetrated a genocide.” “Which nobody believes.” “Nobody who says that thinks that what Israel did in Gaza is comparable to what the Nazis did to the Jews.” “They say it because it is a way to lay at the feet of the Jews the crime that was perpetrated against us.” “I myself have my criticisms of Israel's treatment of the Palestinians.” “The conservative position, is Israel has the right to exist and the right to defend itself, and I can quibble with how they go about doing that.” “The view that the Democratic Socialists of America has is that violent resistance against Israeli civilians is justified.” “These people celebrate Hamas.” “They’re driven by the woke ideology which says there is no right versus wrong.” “There’s only powerful versus powerless, oppressor versus oppressed.” “This is the kind of godless view that has become the price of entry on the left.” Batya Ungar-Sargon

“Iran is not going to declare an end to the war while Israel is still attacking Lebanon. It has to be part of the deal. And of course, Bibi won’t play ball because he doesn’t want the war to end. And Trump is just waking up to that fact three months into the war, and he’s not happy about it.” “A lot of what he’s saying is that Bibi should do everything that he says. And now he’s learning that that’s not the way the world works. So constantly over the past three months, Trump is confronted by reality, which totally contradicts the made up story he has about the Iran war in his head. And guess what? In the end, reality is winning out.” “And that’s why we’re in the quagmire we’re in. Because Trump won’t accept the reality. He only wants the world to bend to what’s in his head. In this case, he’s not getting what he wants, so he’s throwing a tantrum.”

At a Q&A, John MacArthur is asked about Christian nationalism. The kingdom of God is not of this world. Jesus said that. He said, “My kingdom is not of this world. If My kingdom were of this world, My servants would [fight].” His kingdom is not of this world. The kingdom of this world is a separate world; they’re not linked together. Let me say it another way: Nothing that happens in any nation, whether it’s a Communist nation, a Muslim nation, or a “quasi-Christian” nation, or an atheistic nation—nothing in that nation politically, socially has anything to do with the advancement of the kingdom of God, because the kingdom of God is separate from that system. God, in His sovereignty, is building His church, “and the gates of Hades will not prevail against it,” Jesus said. So the idea that you should link up some political effort, some political process, some social process, some gain of power or influence in a culture as part of the advance of Christianity is alien to Christianity. You never have our Lord approaching anything like that, nor the apostles, and particularly the apostle Paul. He sought to gain no favor with the Roman Empire whatsoever, or for that matter, with any other of the rulers that he ran into during his life. Now, that is not to say that we are indifferent to what happens in the nation. We’ve been talking about that the last couple of Sunday mornings. We have to be the people who uphold righteousness. When we come to vote, we want to vote for that which is the most righteous option. Obviously, we can’t vote in righteousness, but we have to vote in a way that reflects our commitment to the righteousness of God. So we couldn’t possibly elect somebody who was an abortionist, somebody who was LGBTQ or LGBTQ-affirming, or any other deviation from God’s righteous moral standard. So it gets harder, doesn’t it, nowadays, because even sometimes when politicians are more conservative and anti-abortion, they may be sinful and wicked in some other categories, and it’s very hard to find out who is really honest and who is simply dishonest and seeking power. But in the end, we do what we can with the understanding that the responsibility of the church is not to advance the kingdom of this world. That’s a faulty viewpoint. Christian nationalism is usually tied to what is called post-millennialism, and that is the view that the church, somehow, by influencing the culture, can bring in the kingdom of Christ. In other words, it’s the idea not that Christ returns and sets up His kingdom, but that the church establishes His kingdom and then hands it to Him. That is not what Scripture teaches. What Scripture teaches is what we’re learning from the book of Revelation. Things are going to get worse and worse and worse. And the end of human history is not the church triumphant, reigning in the world and taking over the structures of human kingdoms; that’s not what happens. At the end of human history, the believers are persecuted and murdered, and that’s the very opposite of what Christian nationalism would anticipate. So we believe the Bible teaches that things get worse and worse, headed toward the wrath of God, which we’re seeing in Revelation, and then our Lord returns, Himself, to establish His kingdom is clearly what we read in the book of Revelation. OK?

Karoline Leavitt shuts down MSNBC’s Garrett Haake after he suggested President Trump simply can’t let go of the 2020 election. Haake tried to frame Trump’s upcoming address as relitigating the past, but Leavitt called him and the media out for prejudging the speech before hearing a single word of it. HAAKE: “Why is the president unable to let this go?” LEAVITT: “First of all, Garrett, I think part of the problem is that the media has refused to acknowledge that tens of millions of Americans across the country share the concerns of this president about the sanctity of our elections.” “And your premise of your question, you’re jumping ahead to a conclusion in this speech before even hearing it yourself.” “I think that everyone should tune in tonight, including the people in this room, and you should report on the president’s speech and the findings that he’s going to reveal in this speech with a little bit of honesty and a little bit of integrity because it does…it will shock you if you have an honest eye listening to the president tonight and everything he’s saying will be backed by, by facts and by evidence that will be provided this evening.” “And again, Garrett, I think all Americans, Democrats Republicans should agree that we are the country in the history of the world.” “We should have the safest and most secure elections in the history of the world, and what the president will be speaking about tonight will show you that perhaps that is not the case.” “And we need to make some adjustments moving forward.

"Today, we can see the futility of the political route and the bankruptcy of the political system writ large." "Scotland is annexed, a dominion under the English crown. And it is the English crown, not the fictional UK crown, that we're all told about. "Not a partner, not of any kind. In fact, the whole partnership story is a concoction fashioned to convince the world that Scots are part of a joint state and to disguise the fact that Scotland is, in reality, nothing other than a colony. "It's not a partner in a marriage, but a kidnap victim. And you do not escape from a kidnapper by filing for divorce from a fictional marriage. "Second, even if it were possible to break free through a referendum or an election, or to propose any other route that would be approved as lawful by the kidnapping state, the political system in Scotland would not guarantee any of the things that sing in our bones as Scots. We dream of justice, compassion, equality, prosperity and care for all without preference or privilege. "But what we have is an english system of concentrated power and privilege, which those Scots who enjoy it will not give up easily. Where the government sits in authority over the people, and the people surrender their hopes, their ambitions and their human and civil rights to the whims of their elected representatives. Where all that we hold dear, all that we depend on for decency, fairness and security, depends on the honor, honesty and good faith of those elected. "Because once it is elected, we have no means of curbing, challenging or preventing anything a government may choose to do, whether or not that's lawful, just, rational or humane. "Today, we can see the futility of the political route and the bankruptcy of the political system writ large. Our helplessness in the face of the state marching side by side with destitution and despair. "This is why liberation was born. Because the route to the Scotland we dream of neither can nor will come through the present political system, but through the restoration of the political, territorial and judicial rights, the constitutional provisions that belong to the people of this nation, in law and in justice, even under the terms of this fraudulent union, and certainly under international law. "They mean that we, the people, are sovereign, in fact, not in sound bite, the ultimate authority of this nation of Scotland. "They mean that the interests of the people, collectively known as the common good, are not only the primary purpose of government, but the only condition on which it's permitted to exist. "They mean that we are entitled to overrule, remove or replace a government that violates that condition of its existence, that fails to honour its promises, to consult the people or to act according to their wishes and welfare. "And in the modern world, that means the right to all the mechanisms that we see in a nation like Switzerland, which will make that sovereign power a reality. "All this is part of what we call decolonization, true Scottish self determination. And it is the soul and purpose of liberation Scotland. "Impossible? Other nations have trodden the path to decolonisation. Not one has bowed to the kidnapper and asked for permission. "We know now that we can gain our independence as a state by first gaining independence from a colonizing power. So that instead of waiting to reclaim real sovereignty of the people after independence, we gain our independence by first reclaiming our sovereign Scottish rights. "The next step on this road is establishing the committee of the Scottish Liberation Movement. This committee will be elected from the membership of Liberation and will operate under a ratified constitution. "And it will register Scotland's Liberation Movement with the United Nations."

Rogin: It looks very likely that we're about to restart bombing of Iran. And there are a lot of reports out there that this is about to happen. And what that means is that all of the problems, not just with the US economy, with the economy of every country in the world, are about to get worse. And it means that the Iran war is going to go much longer than otherwise anticipated. And that is a disaster not just for Americans, but for all people. And then if you think about the effects on energy and then manufacturing, and then rates will continue to go up, and then inflation, it's a it's a calamity for the world economy with no strategy whatsoever.

"Netanyahu is the logical outcome of the very nature of the Israeli state" Look at the obscene hatred in his voice, in his hand movements and in his bright red complection as he spews venom, not only about Netanyahu, but about the very nature of Israel, the worlds only Jewish state. Notice how he steps from the worlds only Jewish state into talking about profit and wealth, and continues to blame Jews for wealth inequality. After talking about globalising Palestinian resistance, he screams, "What do we do to rid the world of these monsters? so that their wealth, and the horrible things they do with that wealth, and how that wealth is taken off them, and given to to people (points to the crowd) like the people who are on strike." He's blaming Israeli nationalism for the worlds problems, this is not a coincidence. Palestinianism is a national movement, and every other country has it too, and they all have bad and good ways of expressing it, but it's Jewish nationalism that is the ultimate curse on the world in his eyes. This, right here, is the spreading of hatred. Antizionism is a hate movement!

NEW: Vivek says America is at a fork in the road—capitalism or socialism—and Republicans may never get this chance again. He nailed it. With the rise of radical far-left figures like Zohran Mamdani and Omar Fateh, Vivek Ramaswamy warns: this isn’t about just one race anymore. It’s about the soul of the nation. “Look, I think the key answer right now, is it about socialism or capitalism?” “That’s the choice, it’s a fork in the road for the future of the country and not the just about one candidate in New York who represents the socialism wing.” “You look at rise of Fateh—they call him the Mamdani of Minneapolis.” “You see trends coming up across the country.” “There’s a deep fissure in the Democratic Party where a lot of base is, unfortunately, is in electing socialism over capitalism.” His message to Republicans? Step up the messaging and stand for something. “Now my advice to Republicans across the country is: this is our chance to actually offer an alternative vision, to make the case for why free enterprise, why capitalism is best system known to the history of man to lift people up from poverty.” “To stand for common sense, opposing defund the police movements that have resulted in a violent wave of crime across our cities, including even in my own home state of Ohio.” “This is a special opportunity for us as Republicans to really show not just what we’re against, but what do we actually stand for?” “And if we nail that, the contrast could not be more evident for the next decade in our country.”

🚨 WOW! JD Vance is DIRECTLY calling out Israeli cabinet members for their personal attacks on President Trump "Donald J. Trump is the ONLY head of state in the ENTIRE WORLD who is sympathetic to the nation of Israel at this moment in time, and he happens to be the head of state of the world superpower. If I was in the cabinet of the Israeli government, I might not be attacking the only powerful ally that I have ANYWHERE left in the entire world." "The other thing that I would say is that over the last 3 months, TWO-THIRDS of the defensive weapons that have protected your homeland have been built by AMERICAN HANDS and paid for by AMERICAN TAX DOLLARS. The problem for Israel is not Donald J. Trump, and anybody in Israel who thinks their biggest problem is the President of the United States needs to WAKE UP and smell the reality of the situation that country is in."

California Gov. Gavin Newsom: Right now, unfortunately, the United States, something I never thought I would say in my lifetime, is the source of more instability than any other nation in the world. The United States of America. But I say this: it’s not dead. It’s dormant. You may need to sleep with one eye open. It will take time, but it is certainly not dead. Trump is historically unpopular. He is going to get crushed in the midterm elections. Crushed. He’s going to lose his authority under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act to impose tariffs. He will lose that at the Supreme Court in a matter of months. That authority has been the source of much of his energy and negotiating power. And by the way, it has also been the source of direct dealing by the most corrupt president in American history. What do so many of these foreign policy trips have in common? Members of his family are there first, setting the tone, setting the course of the deal for the tower, the golf course, the investments, the crypto. Not just Trump, partnerships with the family. It’s all there in plain sight. It’s open. It’s not about the $400 million planes as tithings and gifts, or the billions of dollars flowing in over the last year. It’s not about policymaking. It’s about profit-making.

We announce to the whole world, everyone should know that we, the Jews, declare that the state of Israel is not a Jewish state, but a murderer and genocidal Zionist state, and that it has been committing genocide against the Palestinian people for 75 years. The Jewish community in the Holy Land has struggled with Zionism and its perverted ideas since the first day Zionism emerged and continues to do so. There are thousands of Jews in the world who are against Zionism, everyone should know this well: Jews are not Zionists, Zionism is not Judaism. Israel is not the state of the Jews. Israel is a terrorist and genocidal state. We stand with the Palestinian people and pray for the establishment of a free Palestinian state.

ELON: WE MUST PUT AN END TO THE TYRANNY OF THE BUREAUCRACY “In order for us to be a true democracy, a functioning democracy, the government must be responsive to the people. That's literally what democracy means. However, when you have a vast unelected bureaucracy that is not answerable to the public, and if the elected officials, the President, the people in Congress and the Senate, if they don't have the power to affect the bureaucracy — and it's actually extremely difficult to affect the bureaucracy — then you do not have rule of the people. Then, you do not have democracy, but you have rule of the bureau — bureaucracy. And this is obviously wrong. It is unconstitutional, and it is imperative, therefore, that we return power to the people of the country and not have tyranny of the bureaucracy, which we most definitely have had to a degree that is absurd. It's not just that there's an unconstitutional fourth branch of the government, but it is arguably the most powerful branch of the government.” Source: DOGE update on 𝕏 Spaces, February 2025

Alastair Campbell, "This is one of the most extraordinary election victories and comebacks in an election in history" ALASTAIR CAMPBELL "What did Donald Trump get right? He managed tp speak to and for the anger that people feel about the state of their lives, the state of their country" "I think he weaponised it in the usual way, no least helped by Elon Musk" "Not least the way he campaigned.. Which a lot of people find distasteful and unpleasant.. Full of lies, racism and misogyny and so forth" "The Democrats have to look deep to see how they managed to lose this" "Trump has combined populism, polarisation, post truth politics, in a way that has made a lot of people motivated by it, comfortable with it, and feeling that he offers them something the other side doesn't" "This is going to affect politics right across the world.. How do you deliver the kind of lives and progress people want in their lives, but at the same time you don't want to do that kind of politics"

.Karoline Leavitt fires back at reporter accusing Trump of being unable to let the 2020 election go 🔥 "First of all, Garrett, I think part of the problem is that the media has refused to acknowledge that tens of millions of Americans across the country share the concerns of this president about the sanctity of our elections [...] We should have the safest and most secure elections in the history of the world. And what the president will be speaking about tonight will show you that perhaps that is not the case and we need to make some adjustments moving forward."

Ambassador Chas Freeman: Israel Is Worse Than Nazis It’s very clear what Israel wants. It’s made no secret that it wants to depopulate Gaza by whatever means it can, by starving people into leaving, expelling them, or killing them all. And there’s no question that it meets the definition of genocide. They have the intent to destroy an entire people. They have the ability and they are, in fact, carrying out an operation intended to do so. I think it’s also quite clear why Hamas did what it did. This was in the nature of a jailbreak from the world’s largest concentration camp. And having been treated like animals they behaved like animals. What they did was horrifying, it was inexcusable, but it was understandable. The Israeli reaction has been vastly disproportionate and that is Israel’s custom. It tries to react disproportionately in order to intimidate and deter anyone from attacking it. That is not new but what is new are the genocidal statements and proposed emptying of Gaza. 60% of the buildings in Northern Gaza have been destroyed and we know that over 12,000 Palestinians have been murdered by one means or another. Israel has destroyed most of the hospitals in Gaza. It now seems to be working on the schools. So it is totally ruthless and the whole thing is particularly macabre because it is such a vivid reminder of the Warsaw Ghetto, a very parallel situation in which driven beyond any ability to tolerate what was being done to them, the Jewish inhabitants of the Warsaw Ghetto rose against Nazi Germany and the Nazis exterminated them all and leveled the ghetto. One would think that the survivors of that Holocaust and the larger Holocaust in Europe would not wish to repeat a holocaust against another people but evidently, that is expecting too much of human nature. It now appears that much of the killing at the music festival was actually done by Israeli forces who fired indiscriminately at both the Hamas warriors and the milling crowds at the festival. Similarly, some of the major damage in the kibbutzim and the murders of the settlers there were done not by Hamas but by Israeli forces firing tank bullets into houses and hellfire missiles into cars and so forth. So this was a dreadful beginning to what has turned out to be an absolutely nauseating months and a half of slaughter, not finished. The United States has the ability to stop this by halting armed supplies to Israel but does not do that, opposes a ceasefire in support of Mr. Netanyahu’s revenge against the Palestinians, and Mr. Netanyahu, I would remind you, is on record many years ago as expressing hope for a war in which Israel could expel all the Arabs in its midst and seems to be taking advantage of this to do that hoping, I suppose, that his reputation which has been greatly damaged by charges of corruption and by his suspension of judicial independence in Israel, can somehow be redeemed by this act of revenge. Where we are is a very bad place. What Israel is reporting is extraordinarily crude propaganda, some of it obviously, utterly false, and they’ve been caught. Even some of the mainstream media are beginning to report that the Israeli Defense Forces are lying about a huge number of things. Younger people, generally in the West, certainly in my own country the United States, are far more inclined to be sympathetic to the Palestinians than they ever were before. It’s not that they dislike Israelis but now confronted with with graphic images of horror, the murder of 12,000 [Palestinians], they’re not dispassionate. Not only are they demonstrating in all of the world’s capitals for a ceasefire which their governments declined to support for the most part, but social media is now overwhelmingly pro-Palestinian as opposed to pro-Israeli. But I think the Palestinians, generally, have been motivated to remind the world that they exist. That their problems can’t be set aside. The Israeli government, with the connivance of the Biden Administration, and before that the Trump Administration, was making an effort to set the Palestinian issue aside in order to produce Arab-Israeli normalization. And the Palestinians set out with this raid into Israel to demonstrate that that is impossible, that the only way that you can have peace in Palestine is with a two-state solution. And oddly enough, although Hamas, of course, started as a movement funded in part by the Israelis — Mr. Netanyahu has openly admitted that he corroborated with Qatar to fund Hamas in Gaza in order to divide the Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza — I think Hamas seized the moment to provoke Israel into doing exactly what Israel has predictively done in order to make it clear to the world that you have to have a two-state solution which had become a talking point. There was no reality to it at all. There had been no peace process for twenty-some years. Now there must be. People have recognized that the one-state solution — which many favored, meaning a purely democratic one-man-one-vote arrangement in Palestine in which inevitably the Jewish population given its higher level of culture, civilization, and finance, would have called most of the shots — is off the table. After all the hatred that has been demonstrated on both sides, coexistence in one state is obviously impossible in Palestine. Two states, however, would give the Palestinians a stake in peace. They have no stake in peace at the moment. They’re like a rabbit being swallowed by some kind of boa constrictor. As time goes on they go farther and farther down the throat of the snake and they’re crying out, and they were doing so at a pitch that, apparently, no one internationally could hear. And now their cause has been dramatized. We can’t have a resolution of what is going on now that takes the form of another expulsion of Palestinians, more tolerance of massacres, the condoning of genocide... and I think those in the West, including President Biden, who has been prepared to give Israel a pass on these issues, are beginning to pay heavily in terms of their political prestige in their domestic politics. Settler colonialism invariably leads to some attempt at genocide. That was the case in the United States, Canada, and Australia. It wasn’t the case in New Zealand because the Māori were too tough. It wasn’t the case in South Africa because the Zulus, and other South African blacks, were too tough. It wasn’t the case in Kenya because, eventually, black Kenyans rose up in the Mau Mau movement, which was itself a horror, but it did result in a separation from the colonial rule of the British. The same thing could happen. Now the difficulty of all this is obvious in terms of the fact that you’ve got an Israeli cabinet that is the most determined, genocidal cabinet the world has ever seen, and I don’t excuse the Nazi cabinets from that comparison. The overt statements of genocidal intent are unmistakable. There’s no effort, as the Germans did make, to conceal what is in store for the Palestinians. There’s no fake camp for Jews like the one the Nazis set up to bring the Swiss Red Cross in to show how wonderful they were treating the people they had taken away from their homes. No effort whatsoever of that sort, just bombing and strafing and murder on the ground. Israel appears to be paying quite a heavy price for that in terms of combat losses, but, of course, is not reporting accurately what is happening.
