Israel drops 8 two-thousand pound bombs to kill one Hamas official and FAILS!

Fails to take him out. Instead, it resulted in more civilians and children killed. 

WSJ: To Targt a Top Militant, Israel Rained down Eight Tons of Bombs

Huge deployment of firepower, after years of failed attempts to kill Hamas military commander Mohammed Deif, exacted a heavy civilian toll.

Israel had tried - and failed - to kill Mohammed Deif, several times,
[.]
[...] Israel struck, with overwhelming force, hitting [a southern compound in Gaza] with eight 2,000 pound bombs[.]
[.]
[The bombings hit] a compound [that] was home to a market, a water source and a soup kitchen[.]

WSJ beind a paywall. Same story at MSN.

Don't call this a genocide. Oh, no no no...Satanyahu and his cabinet have every right to, "defend itself."  Yeah, defend itself against a water source, a market and a soup kitchen for Palestinian civilians. How brave!

Israel, the nation with the Samson Option where they will nuke the entire world - even their allies - if they don't get their way.

Progressive MagazineThe Samson Option: Israel’s Plan to Nuke Its Opponents.

“Israel’s policy of never formally acknowledging its nuclear arsenal makes its doctrine ambiguous, but the Samson Option is believed to refer to Israel’s plans for overwhelming nuclear retaliation against non-nuclear adversaries if the country faces an imminent, existential threat,” [said Kelsey Davenport, director of nonproliferation policy at the Arms Control Association, which advocates for nuclear disarmament]. “It would likely include deliberate, disproportionate nuclear strikes against non-military targets, such as cities, despite the clear violation of international humanitarian law.”
[.]
Unlike MAD (Mutually Assured Destruction), Israel’s Samson Option specifically threatens its non-nuclear opponents.

Israel is Biblical Mystery Babylon. The satanic State. The Synagogue of Satan from where the anti-christ will some day emerge. A nation from which nothing good or Godly comes.

Continue turning a blind eye to what Israel is doing. It's just what the devil wants you to do. 

If you choose to think, or believe, a post like this equates to, "hating Jews," you have the intellectual capacity of a flushed turd.

Israelis celebrate Rafah civilian massacre.

Middle East Eye: Israelis celebrate Rafah massacre as Jewish holiday bonfire.

Lag BaOmer bonfires celebrate spiritual light. This year, Israelis used the occasion to mock 45 Palestinian men, women and children killed in an attack on a Gaza camp.

Soon after an Israeli air strike slammed into a camp in southern Gaza’s Rafah on Sunday night, tearing through the bodies of dozens of Palestinian men, women and children, and igniting a ferocious blaze, video footage of the aftermath drew horror and condemnation worldwide.

In Israel, however, prominent figures and members of the public viewed the massacre and the fire as the perfect way to celebrate a religious holiday.

Sunday was Lag BaOmer, a Jewish holiday where people across Israel light bonfires as a representation of spiritual light brought by Shimon bar Yochai, a revered second-century rabbi.
[.]
One of the most shocking images from Rafah on Sunday night was a man holding up the body of a child that had no head. A member of a popular right-wing Israeli Telegram group shared a photo of the man holding the dead child mocked up as an advert selling chicken. “Fresh chicken 1 shekel a kilo,” it said.

Netanyahu kvetches. "We are not a vassal of the United States."


This ungrateful, selfish, genocidal, cowardly little prick. Then refuse all future U.S. financial and military aid and pay us back all the $$ your shithole country received from American taxpayers over the decades. Also, why is his son, Yair, living in Miami and exempt from the IDF?

Israeli whistleblowers detail abuse of Palestinians.

CNN (Archived): Israeli whistleblowers detail abuse of Palestinians in shadowy detention center.

They stripped them down of anything that resembles human beings,” said one whistleblower, who worked as a medic at the facility’s field hospital.

“(The beatings) were not done to gather intelligence. They were done out of revenge,” said another whistleblower. “It was punishment for what they (the Palestinians) did on October 7 and punishment for behavior in the camp.”
[.]
Reports of abuse at Sde Teiman have already surfaced in Israeli and Arab media after an outcry from Israeli and Palestinian rights groups over conditions there. But this rare testimony from Israelis working at the facility sheds further light on Israel’s conduct as it wages war in Gaza, with fresh allegations of mistreatment. It also casts more doubt on the Israeli government’s repeated assertions that it acts in accordance with accepted international practices and law.

Where are all the usual Liberals, especially American Liberals, and worldwide human rights advocates who voiced endless outrage about humanitarian conditions at Abu Ghraib and GITMO? Hardly a peep. 

Thou shalt not criticize Israel! Shut up anti semite! Israel can kill with impunity and ignore globally established and accepted humanitarian treatment of POWs.

If Israeli whistleblowers are appalled at the abuse of detained Palestinians, you know it's far worse than reported and imaginable.

Ontario must pay for a penis-sparing vaginoplasty for a person who identifies as neither fully female nor fully male.

National Post: Ontario resident who wants both a vagina and penis wins public funding for unique surgery.

Ontario has been ordered to pay for surgery for a resident who is seeking to have a vagina constructed while leaving their penis intact.

Denying the procedure would infringe on the person’s Charter-protected right to security of the person, an Ontario court said in its ruling.
[.]
The Ontario resident, identified in court documents as K.S., has been locked in a legal battle with the Ontario Health Insurance Plan since 2022, when OHIP denied a funding request to have a penile preserving vaginoplasty performed at a clinic in Austin, Texas.

The surgery, which is not available anywhere in Canada, involves creating a vaginal canal, or opening, without removing the penis.

I can't believe taxpayers are paying for this.

McDonald’s to exit Russia with sale of business.

The Grocer: McDonald’s to exit Russia with sale of business.

Global fast food giant McDonald’s has announced it will cease all operations in Russia after 30 years in the country due to its invasion of Ukraine.

McDonald’s announced it has initiated a process to sell its Russian business, having previously temporarily closed its restaurants and paused operations in the country on 8 March.
[.]
Notably, as part of the process McDonald’s will initiate a process of “de-arching” the estate, meaning the new owner of the stores will not be able to use the McDonald’s name, logo, branding, and menu.
[.]
“We have a long history of establishing deep, local roots wherever the arches shine,” said McDonald’s president and CEO Chris Kempczinski.
[.]
It is impossible to ignore the humanitarian crisis caused by the war in Ukraine. And it is impossible to imagine the golden arches representing the same hope and promise that led us to enter the Russian market 32 years ago,” [said Kempczinski].

But it's entirely possible for Mr. Kempczinski to ignore the humanitarian crisis in China where McDonald's thrives.

Paul Krugman claims his IP hacked and used for downloading child pornography.

Esteemed tech clairvoyant, economist and NYT writer Paul Krugman claims his IP address has been compromised and is being used for downloading child pornography:


"An attempt to Qanon" him? Now that's damn funny. Didn't Krugman once refer to Qanon as a discredited conspiracy theory? So a discredited conspiracy theory, as far as Krugman is concerned, hijacked his IP for child pornography?

 
FOX Business News (Archive): Nobel Laureate Paul Krugman slammed after falling for alleged cyber attack.
First, he told his 4.6 million Twitter followers on Wednesday that bad actors had taken over his IP address. "Well, I’m on the phone with my computer security service, and as I understand it someone compromised my IP address and is using it to download child pornography," Krugman wrote in a now-deleted tweet. "I might just be a random target. But this could be an attempt to Qanon me. It’s an ugly world out there."

Qanon is used to describe far-right conspiracy theorists who believe in a deep state that is threatening to take down President Trump.

He then followed up, in a tweet, saying that the "Times thinks it may have been a scam. Anyway, will have more security in future."

Even so, Krugman's allegations prompted a fierce backlash from social media, with many calling the economist's bluff from the get-go.
Krugman, the same guy who in 2013 called Bitcoin "evil." Yeah, because he didn't buy it back then when its price floated around $600. He missed out on a bargain and is forever pissed about it.

Is Krugman buddies with the Podestaphile Brothers? Did he fly to Epstein Island? Was he pals with financier Jeffrey Epstein?

Nobel Awards were once given to significant people. Now, they're the same as a Golden Globe. Maybe less.

Because...Krugman has such high accuracy in past predictions:

Canada: Six-year-old taught "no such thing as boys and girls".

The Christian Institute: Canada: Six-year-old taught "no such thing as boys and girls".
The parents of a six-year-old girl have filed a human rights complaint after her teacher told her “there is no such thing as boys and girls”.

Pamela Buffone said her daughter became increasingly distressed and worried, asking if she could “go to a doctor” and saying she was “not sure if she wanted to be a mommy”.

The family are now asking a tribunal to ensure that classroom discussion does not “devalue, deny or undermine” biological reality.
[.]...the teacher named as ‘JB’ showed the children at Devonshire Community Public School a video promoting radical gender ideology.

The video – ‘He, She and They?!? – Gender: Queer Kid Stuff #2’ – taught that “some people aren’t boys or girls” and some people don’t “feel like a ‘she’ or a ‘he’”.

The teacher then proceeded to tell the class “girls are not real and boys are not real”.

When the Buffones met with JB two months later to discuss their concerns, she claimed that gender ideology was part of the school policy and said she was ‘committed to the teaching of gender fluidity’.

The Buffones were increasingly concerned that their daughter was becoming traumatised.

Mum Pamela said her “gender identity is – or was – seamless comfort in her biological skin. She had never questioned that comfort.”

“Suddenly, she was told to believe that at any moment, what she believes to be real – that she is a girl – may not be true.”

“How very frightening that thought must be to a child”.

Their human rights complaint states that the teacher subjected their six-year-old daughter “to ongoing discrimination on the basis of gender and gender identity, by a series of lessons that denied the existence of the female gender and biological sex and undermined the value of identifying as female”.

Terrance: How many genders does Canada have, Phillip?
Phillip: Two. Three if you include Justin Trudeau.

Calling all Trump-hating women...Ilhan Omar, Alyssa Milano, Joy Behar, Rashida Tlaib, Maxine Waters, Rosie O'Moo and others...take your protests to Saudi Arabia.

The Independent: Women detainees being 'sexually assaulted and flogged' in secret Saudi prisons.
Female rights activists in Saudi Arabia have been sexually assaulted, tortured with electric shocks and flogged so hard they cannot stand, Amnesty has reported, as British MPs ratcheted up pressure on Riyadh to grant them access to the detainees.

At least 10 rights defenders have been tortured, including being made to kiss each other while interrogators watched, Amnesty said in a report released on Friday.
[.]
Others held in the secret prisons were tortured with electric shocks, flogged so hard they could not stand, or waterboarded[.]
[.]
None have been officially charged or referred to trial, most have no legal representation.
[.]
The Saudi government has repeatedly denied the claims of mistreatment of the detainees.
Will the women (and others) mentioned in the title of the post be lighting up their social media accounts expressing their same screeching outrage that they express over the  "deplorable" treatment of women in the U.S. by President Donald Trump?

Let us know, ladies. Let us know. Because something tells me these loud-mouthed women will be notably silent on this story. After all, who cares about abused women in Saudi Arabia?

Polygamists setting up shop in Northern Minnesota?

KBJR6.com: Grand Marais reacts to polygamist group leader buying North Shore property.
There’s growing unrest in Grand Marais as people learn that a known polygamist with ties to a religious group that promotes marriages involving children is a key player in a land purchase near the North Shore town.

Seth Jeffs was recently served with a lawsuit in Bloomington, Minnesota, after allegations surfaced that he was a witness and participant in the sexual abuse of a young girl while in Utah.

Records show that Seth Jeffs is listed as the managing member for a company that purchased 40 acres of land in this remote area west of Grand Marais… near the Superior National Forest.
[.]
The plans have neighbors concerned.
Uh, Extensive Background checks? Oh, that's just for law-abiding people with no criminal history who pose no threat to anyone, desiring to legally purchase and own a gun.

Maybe we need some type of anonymous snitch program Red Flag Order for "suspicious property developers".
