Godspeed, IDF !
Then kill Sinwar. He needs to die.
Iran deserves much more attention, enough that they are no longer able to fund terrorism,
And where is the UN? Probably wanking itself silly against a wall at the thought of juices being killed.
According to my sources, which requested anonymity, it is being reported that a peace treaty will be signed today between Israel and iran and lebanon and yemen and gaza and iraq and Syria and dearborn
Ouch… I taped Mark Levin.. and imagine my surprise when his show was pre empted with this story. I was told that Biden Administration had orchestrated some kind of agreement.. Smh.. I am still watching the recording, I afraid now to put on the live news..
August surprise. Don’t they know to wait a few more weeks?
Any peace treaty/ceasefire between Israel and the terrorists will only take place *despite* the ‘assistance’ of the current administration, and will only last as long as the terrorists are afraid of a JDAM coming through their window.
Pray for peace. Prepare for war. Protect your children Israel!
When Eisenhower won in November 1952, he was inaugurated in January, 1953.
The Korean War was 3 years old, with no particular end in sight.
Lots of “negotiations”
Eisenhower got on an airplane, and flew over to Taiwan; he reportedly showed the CCCP a film of a recent cannon that America had developed in the desert southwest—that could fire nuclear-armed shells.
The armistice was signed within weeks, and the killing stopped. That armistice may not be perfect, but it has stood now for >70 years.

Today, we are led by such foolish, inexperienced amateurs. I wouldn’t entrust a sidewalk lemonade stand to Blinken Sullivan. They continue to fail. And then they continue to fail. And then … they continue to fail some more.
Most people have no idea that Hezbollah not only owns TV outlets in Lebanon but has members of Parliament that are part of the ruling coalition. Let us not pretend that Lebanon itself isn’t complicit in their operations.
Pretending is exactly what the OBidenHarrisBlinken administration is.
I get the feeling that Antony has risen up in life by lying, misleading, and by bribing………. it seems the guy stands for not-a-thing. as long as he can think to himself that he’s doing “important things.” In way over his head, he pretends that Americans and America’s allies do not continue to get killed and held captive all over the world. Under his watch. if he can prevent it being reported on the news then he thinks he can pretend that all this is not happening.
(And even it is happening, then Blinken thinks he can pretend that it’s trump’s fault.)
That’s doublespeak for Israel got bored.
All that terrorism is not an Iran thing. It’s not a Lebanon nor Hizballah thing. Nor is it a Hamas thing. It is just simply a Muslim thing, you wouldn’t understand!
