All that can be done to counter the influence of Hamas can be done without needlessly putting Israeli troops in the middle of two lines of fire. Israel could make a similar appeal to Gazans that they can make to Haredis: War is over, the fruit of Enlightenment is here…if you want it!
Smart people can be deluded. If Eniat Wilf is aware without filters of Trump’s moves so far, she’d have to say the moves were an expensive failure.
Jake:
I don’t know if I’m engaging in echolalia here (some of my attempts to post got rejected, probably from attempting to post two links,) but if so, it’s worth saying twice:
As technologically advanced as Israel is, Israel should be the first one on the block, or even in the World, to have Mecha-Robotic Army Infantry and Armored Cavalry, Naval Personnel, Air Personnel, Marines, and Coast Guards!
With Enlightenment Science and Values pre-programmed in for good measure!
As a head-pat for the Haredis and Ultra-Orthodoxers, we can even call these Mecha-Robotic fighters: Golums!
No more circumcised pissing contests over who serves Israel best! And while Golums won’t fully stop Antisemitism, at least Antisemites won’t have the Strawman of Israeli Happy Merchants sending U.S. boys from Farmville and the Ghettos and Los Barrios to die!
How ’bout them Glorious Golums?!?
Fellow Unbelievers:
Both the horror and hilarity of monster/space alien movies stem from a common source: These movies show what the Natural Universe would be like if it didn’t follow Natural Laws of Biology, Physics, Chemistry, and Astronomy, if the Natural Universe wasn’t under control of the Four Forces but instead was ruled by Murphy’s Laws.
Perhaps the most horribly hilarious monster/space alien movie riffed by Mystery Science Theater 3000 is Pod People. It’s hard to briefly sum up, but it is like bits of E.T., Mac and Me, The Partridge Family, The Shining, and Camp Crystal Lake in the the Friday the 13th franchise mixed with psychotropic drugs in a Early 1980s Vita-Mix™, then soft-served with sprinkles of David Lynch’s Twin Peaks.
The show begins with Joel and the Bots performing acts in their Art Chautauqua, where Crow T. Robot spits out acronyms non-stop in a free-form reading, Tom Servo does a dramatic soliloquy possibly from West Side Story and An Officer and A Gentleman, and Joel hits an explosive guitar chord. The Mad Scientists follow up with a Public Domain Karaoke Machine rendition of Ave Maria.
Later on in the first Host Segment, Joel and the Bots sing the “Idiot Control” song with the Mad Scientists doing the production work and Joel giving his OK hand symbol and his cultured. nuanced assessment of the work given to other future musical works throughout the series: “It Stinks!”👌🏼
The next Host Segment has Joel and the Bots using strung-together keyboards and doing New Age Music from Some Guys in Space, parodying the old Public Radio show and inspired by the music of the movie, followed by a Movie Sign from Tom Servo done in the voice of William Shatner.
The third Host Segment duplicates in The Satellite Of Love the chaos that the alien monster Trumpy brings to the young boy’s room. This is the trippy part of the movie which may frighten those partaking of the brown acid left over from Woodstock. 😱🤯👽
As the finale, Joel and the Bots pack up their circus gear and sing a slow tear-jerker “Will There Still Be A Clown In The Sky For Me?”. And the Mad Scientists feedback Joel’s judgement back at him! 👌🏼👌🏼”It Stinks!”.
Sorry, there’s no “Clown In The Sky” but there’s plenty of clownishness in the human imagination of fellow humans, of the Earth, and of the Natural Universe.🤡🤡🤡
So, in preparation for some real Close Encounters of the Third Kind, join Trumpy the Alien, young Tommy, all the “Little Potatoes” in Tommy’s bestiary, The Idiot Controller Chorus, The Beverly Hillbillies, Mrs. Hathaway, Chief, and McCloud in watching the extraterrestrial, paranormal fun that is Pod People, won’t you?

Cannibalism is ok as long as you eat the liver with fava beans and a good chianti.
Hannibal Lecter and Bobby Brainworm either learned one from another or learned from the same tainted source. Liver has a lot of vitamins, but is also a filter for the body’s waste. It’s never good to eat liver more than once a month or so-whether beef, chicken, pork, or otherwise.
Good thing a wide swathe of ideologues won’t judge cuz cultures are relative and the hell with the victims. They just shuffled the deck and some end in the relative out-house of cultures.
Well, Creutzfelt-Jakob Disease (CJD) and the disease called Kuru don’t care about moral or cultural relativism.
These diseases may vary in the time they take, but they still have 100% fatality. They are transmissible from prions derived via eating infected brains and via instruments in contact with infected brains. Among the long list of accompanying neurological symptoms of CJD, Kuru’s symptoms include literally dying laughing.
Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease–Wikipedia
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Creutzfeldt%E2%80%93Jakob_diseaseNow you see why cannibalism never caught on as an evolutionary trait, combined with the fact that trying it as a universal practice would be unsustainable? Now do you see why always-smiling Ghiblis give me the creeps?
Besides they make up for it and put Israel on a pedestal so that their fire and brimstone sinners in the hands of an angry god judgment can be propped up by a giant construct and then whack the shit out of the construct.
A pogrom piñata in other words. ¡Ay Chihuahua! Maria Scheinbaum, heche caution y llama a su oficina!
I don’t think Israelis would be so passive as those NYers. Speaking of passive and fighting i hope Wilf’s party is influential and ALL Israelis have to serve in IDF. It is not right that religious fucktard Jews and Arabs get a pass.
You speak truth about Israelis vis-a-vis U.S. Jews. The latter were basically secured for multiple generations by two oceans and lack of imagination by their enemies. Most here have never even smelled powder.
I would Wilf and she has her insights, but you want people who want to fight. Conscripting young skulls full of mush or Orthodoxers who fall for Palestinianism and Anti-Zionism would be morale destroying and even militarily dangerous.
A better strategy would be an ad campaign to let young adults and those not in the IDF know that the River and the Sea are filled ass-high in sharks, allegators, and piranas and the land in between is covered in porcupines, vipers, and scorpions and if you want to keep your coordinates, the fight is each of yours and yours alone! If you want to keep above it all, dance or die! The rest of us can’t be everywhere for you!
So yea we humans have come a long way from our forbears. Haaaahahah
Maybe if we stirred up accusations of Apostacy among members of the hungry, bloodthirsty members of the Muslim Brotherhood, they’d do like the Gingham Dog and the Callico Cat of the poem and eat each other up. With Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease, they’d never be the wiser. And with Kuru, laughter would peel through every land tainted by the Muslim Brotherhood.
Then there would be much less worry of who’s not serving in the IDF and maybe airplane trips would trips would be more restful, plus many more pre-9/11 and pre-10/7 comforts would be back with us.
