Houthi ‘rebels’ attack cargo vessel in Yemen: Houthis are trying to close international maritime trade for Israel

The much talked about, Caroline Glick video on the failure (betrayal?) of Israeli intelligence and the attacks of Oct. 7th

Aharon Haliva has got to go. Now.

An intelligence chief who publicly rejects the government’s characterization of a war, whose poor professional judgment led to catastrophe and who has a history of contemptuous insubordination simply cannot be trusted.

Immediately after the blackest day in Israeli history, a consensus formed that we must wait until after the war to investigate how Hamas was able to invade the country, slaughter 1,200 innocents and get away with 240 hostages. There’s a lot to recommend this position. 

We’re at war. Now is not the time for action, not recrimination and trials for failed generals, security chiefs and politicians. Good or bad, you go to war with the army and leaders you have. People have jobs to do, and our job is to let them do theirs.

While reasonable on its face, there is a problem with delaying a reckoning. At least in some cases, it seems clear that the people whose failures enabled the Hamas attack are not capable of bringing us victory. 

Case in point: Israel Defense Forces Intelligence Directorate Chief Chief Maj. Gen. Aharon Haliva. In the weeks since Oct. 7, more and more information has come out about why Hamas was able to pull it off. All of the information points to Haliva and his close subordinates.  

The Field Observers unit at Nahal Oz base suffered the greatest losses there during Hamas’s assault. The unit, comprising female soldiers, is responsible for monitoring the footage from security cameras along the Gaza border around the clock and alerting forces on the ground and in the intelligence community to anything suspicious.

Israeli hackers get classified documents about the Iranian Islamic government and its plans for the public

Information warfare. It would be fascinating to know, that should the same thing happen in Canada, what the Trudeau government plans for the public. Although it would be difficult to imagine anything worse than what they say openly. Like eating bugs, freezing in the winter, staying within a 15 minute bike ride of your home (which will be what they decide it is) and CBDC instead of money so you will have no choices whatsoever as to what you will eat, do etc.

Interview with the lone counter-protestor at Sunday’s anti-Israel rally

There is a famous photograph that has been circulating amongst our friends since people started to wake up to the fact that the West is largely communist now. In it, A large group of people are raising their arm in a Roman salute to Adolph Hitler. All except for one man who refuses to raise his arm.

It turns out this man’s name was August Landmesser. And this photo has made him a folk hero in freedom circles and rightfully so.

On Sunday at Parliament Hill, I met his spiritual twin. Amongst 5000 people screaming for the total destruction of Israel with chants of “From the River to the Sea”, and the current iteration of Heil Hitler, “Allah hu Ackbar”, there was a single man who stood amongst the crowd answering the calls calmly with facts. When the crowd chanted, “Free Free Free Palestine” he would answer: “From Hamas!”.

He also wore a Star of David on his coat with the German word, Jude in the centre. So no one could mistake what side he was on. It didn’t take long till he was surrounded by taunting leftists, police and at least a few people, likely Muslims, wrapped in the now-fashionable Palestinian scarves that Yassir Arafat, the first actual Palestinian in fact, made so famous.

Please listen to him tell his story below:

There is a great deal more detail about who this extraordinary man is at RAIR Foundation.

 

Yemen declares war on Israel

World War III Watch: Yemen Officially Declares War on Israel, Launches Large-Scale Ballistic and Drone Strikes

In an alarming development, the Yemeni Armed Forces have officially declared war on Israel.

Brigadier General Yahya Saree, the spokesperson for the Yemeni Armed Forces and also the spokesperson for Iranian-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen, announced that they have launched massive military strikes against Israeli targets in the “occupied territories.”

In response to the missile strikes, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have been on high alert. They reported the successful interception of a surface-to-surface missile in the vicinity of the Red Sea.

“The [Israeli Air Force] intercepted a surface-to-surface missile in the area of the Red Sea. This is the first operational interception by the Arrow Aerial Defense System since the beginning of the war. An additional aerial threat was successfully intercepted by IAF fighter jets in the area this morning. No infiltrations into Israeli territory were identified.”

At this time, I would like to remind all our readers that the people who make up the majority of people in Yemen, the Houthi, have a slogan they have on much of their signage:

Six items on Israel and the cost to Western cities of bringing in an alien and hostile ideology: Links 1 for October 23rd, 2023

1. WORLD WAR 3 WATCH: Israel Warns to Cut Off ‘the Head of the Snake’ — Threatens to Wipe Iran and Lebanon Off the Face of the Earth

In a stern warning, Israel threatened to cut off “the head of the snake” and launch a military attack against Iran if the Tehran-backed Hezbollah joins the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict.

In a no-holds-barred interview with the Daily Mail on Sunday, Israel’s Minister of Economy, Nir Barkat, said that Iran and Lebanon would be “wiped off the face of the earth” if Hezbollah, operating from Lebanon, joins the war against Israel.

In a bid to deter Iran from further intrusion, Barkat explicitly stated that Israel would not only “eliminate Hezbollah” if a ‘northern front’ is initiated but would also target Iran directly.

“The plan of Iran is to attack Israel on all fronts. If we find they intend to target Israel, we will not just retaliate to those fronts, but we will go to the head of the snake, which is Iran,” Barkat said.

4. This appears to be a video from the European Union on a Linkedin post, speaking about the day to day reality of life as a Palestinian, and which governments and people make life impossible for the Palestinians, and which ones do not. As far as we know. this is all factually correct and is worth hearing and spreading.

5. Ayn Rand on the middle East. This is clearly old, as she died in in 1982, some 41 years ago, and this would obviously be sometime before that. But its wonderfully unabashed.

Thank you all for checking out this site.

An interesting clip below. A man seems to be trapped in a Hamas demo, where the protestors, likely a mix of Muslims and ANTIFA, start to attack his car with the intention of attacking him once they get to him. He manages to escape.

Better view. The description on YouTube is, “Driver Attacks Pro-Palestine Rally in Minneapolis”. I think I would title it, “Driver of car is attacked by Anti-Israel mob in Minneapolis”. So at least we agree on the city.
