Medical breakthroughs are fantastic. Too bad countries were not devoting their military expenditures to science and medicine. Competition might be based on pride in delivering the goods instead of weapons and defense to those weapons. But hey….we are human…

We’ll always need some arms. As Thomas Paine observed, Invaders and plunders are held in awe by arms and without arms, the weak would become prey of the strong.

But perhaps if Putin’s cold spa shrivle-age spreads to the blood vessels to his brain…

If Xi’s Acupuncturist made him into a poisoned pin-cushion…

If Mojtaba Khamenei choked on pomegranate puke from an exorcism of Gay D’Jinn (“The Power of Allah compels you!”…)

And if only the recent rumors of Kim Jung-Un’s death were true, maybe we wouldn’t have to spend as much on nuke-powered big sticks.

Then we could work more on physical immortality and not just the kind that comes from the memories of others.

A fantastically brilliant article from a suitably-named Substack:

The ‘Pro-Pal’ Scam
Nobody Really Gives a Damn About Palestinians
by Danielle Pletkin
https://whatthehellisgoingon.substack.com/p/wth-the-pro-pal-scam

I hate to use Quick-Draw McGraw psychobabble, but the people of Gaza and the West Bank are going to need to have a Breakdown before they can have a Breakthrough!

The need for weapons is like the need for lawyers. Ya need em to protect yourself from other lawyers. To arms, to arms the British are coming. And they don’t stop.

As long as political ideologies keep reinforcing the us v them and the constructs about innate characteristics aine nuthin gonna change.

No argument with the article but the essential argument i have been saying for decades. And so have many other including the travelingisrael guy who Reg has in videos…one about Ireland and another about Naza.

Einat and her peers in Israel are not going to gratuitously call out or alienate an ally like Trump. Well a sometimes ally. And they still need USA to help end the threat of ballistic weapons/nucs and the IRGC.

So it’s “Trump uses Israel and she uses Trump and neither one cares”* …only it’s the Mullahs, the IRGC, and their terrorist proxies Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis that are “getting their share” from the oil and Diesel Trump is escorting through the Strait.

*(And now I have mental picture I can’t unsee!)

And when it comes to responding to Trump’s half-ass-ing this war, it’s: “Blame It On Midnight, Shame On The Moon!”

Now maybe Israel shouldn’t alienate an ally, but maybe it should send Trump one of it’s top Neurosurgeons to get his mind right.

I know that Israel doesn’t have a “Hasbara” program that pays influencers $7000 a post to say good things about Israel, but I do think Israel needs a “Reverse-Hasbara” program to pay some people a flat fee to shut up about Israel, to protect Israel from senseless embarrassment.

Trump could be the first beneficiary, and a logical candidate, since his every pronouncement is a mindless ramble and he also loves any kind of “enrichment.”

Other “Reverse-Hasbara” beneficiaries could be Homophobic Rev. John Hagee; Racists MAGA Lunatics like Laura Loomer and Congressman Randy Fine; Anti-Modern Medicine Woo-Peddlers like Robert F. “Bobby Brainworm” Kennedy, Andrew Weil, and Gwyneth “Goop” Paltrow; Anyone involved with the soap-opera called Turning Point U.S.A.; Ben Shapiro until he get’s his priorities straight; Mark Levin if he starts shouting at clouds; and any other embarrassments to Israel as a Secular, Pro-Enlightenment, Free Nation. All they have to do to get paid is shut up about Israel.

Then Israel can come through this crisis clean as a whistle to everybody that matters!
