On Israel And Hamas

Guest Post by Karl Denninger

This is in the -NAD side because otherwise I suspect Google would force me off their platform entirely for it.  Ten years ago this was considered free speech and opinion — and absolutely protected.  Nobody questioned it, although they might call you names.  Today this is not true.  But — thus far, the Frist Amendment stands, despite myriad attempts to overturn it and leave us with a US version of Sharia Law. — Ed

There are two general types of war: Those of necessity and those of opportunity.

Wars of necessity are fought because someone is on your doorstep or actually invading already, and you either fight, die or submit. We’ve refused to fight that one with our southern border for decades, and Obrador can blow me: We should make clear to him that either the Mexican military stops the movement of non-Mexicans through his nation toward ours or we will, including cutting his nation off entirely from American resources of all sorts  including seizing all dollar-denominated flows into and out of Mexico along with the use of military force to prevent any further irregular crossings.  At the same time we must eject every illegal present in the United States.

Wars of opportunity are what this strike by Hamas is.

We created the opportunity.

First, we depleted our military resources (as did Israel) fomenting the war in Ukraine and at the same time blew huge amounts of money in deficit spending and as a direct result Hamas felt they had an opening to do this.  We did that, not them so go look in the fucking mirror, both here and there.

Second, Israel has for decades practiced “strong” gun control.  It apparently never dawned on them that infiltrators might show up and go door to door slaughtering everyone inside who was foolishly rendered defenseless and, like a bunch of goddamned idiots who learned nothing from 40 years wandering the desert, let their asshole government disarm them.  In addition to the Old Testament which the Jews claim to be “Holy” Israel’s government apparently learned nothing from Kristallnacht either and its precedent in the form of German gun control which given what happened next is fucking stupid beyond words. Bibi owns every goddamn bit of that personally and a significant number of civilians are dead as a direct result.  Will Bibi change policy?  Oh hell no; why that would be to admit that people have an unalienable right to personal self-defense which he hasn’t and won’t up to now, so there’s no reason to believe that will change.  By the way there is a lesson in here for all of us here in the US too, particularly given our wide-open southern border and millions of infiltrating, invading foreigners — many of whom are military-aged single men affiliated with and beholden to God-knows-who.

Third, Sniffy just released several billion in Iranian funds.  Hamas is directly funded by Iran.  Did we just fund the aggressor?  Probably.  Money is fungible so spare me “oh no that’s not what they spent it on” irrespective of your excuse.  Again, get up and look in the fucking mirror for the responsible party, that is you, I, and the rest of this nation who allowed that to happen.

Fourth, Sniffy drained our SPR reserves over the last couple of years in a political attempt to blunt the impact of his inflationary policies.  This now means that should this little scuffle expand and reach KSA along with other nations over there we might have a very serious problem we cannot mitigate.  How real is that threat?  I have no idea, but I do remember gas lines in the 1970s.  “Oh that can’t happen again” — uh, yes it can and if this spreads into a broader conflict it will.  Count on it.  We’ve known how to permanently prevent that, and is in fact an entire chapter in my book “Leverage”, since the 1960s but have refused to act on it.  Both sides of the aisle are equally corrupt and complicit in this regard and now we may well pay for it.  Incidentally we should take every single “green energy” proponent and tie them to a windmill blade.  They’re equally responsible for our current energy posture and dependency and if you’re one of them I hope you’re ready to get fucked right into the coming winter, right here in America.

Fifth, this goes all the way back to our and Britain’s “decision” to partition up that part of the world post WWII despite them not being part of the Nazi Alliance and thus having incurred no blame for what happened (whether you assign all, some or none of the causes of WWII and said blame to the Nazi Alliance or not.)  The fact of the matter is that we played God, literally, when it came to that particular area of dirt and declared our preferred Holy Book correct with militarily-enforced consequence.  So be it, but we should not be even slightly surprised that others are sort of pissed off about it, even today.  Israel, being a nation and having a sovereign government, has every right to conduct themselves as they see fit.  We have neither an obligation nor should be engage in their struggles; they took them on by forming said government in said place after WWII and whether you support the biblical claims or not is immaterial; this is their problem, not ours, and if you argue otherwise you’re arguing America is subservient to Israel which should get you instantly hanged.  Period.

Sixth, our own government has declared war on white people, particularly white, heterosexuals who are American citizens.  Everyone else comes first — there’s an entire month for this group or that but what do the Founders (all white straight men, by the way) get?  One fucking day and we’re called domestic terrorist wannabes if we celebrate it.  Discriminate against a white man and its fine — against anyone else, it’s illegal, you get canceled and similar.  Take a knee for the National Anthem and you get a football contract and praise from all corners.  Refuse to bow before the PLGBTQRS+ and you’re instantly the devil incarnate, and now said people go further and claim that laws such as Florida passed allowing execution for child rapists are “disproportionate punishment” against same, which sounds like an admission that those people are pedophiles to me.  Illegal invaders wave signs (all in English which none of them speak, by the way, so who wrote them?) demanding housing, food, medical care and education yet I, as a white citizen, am expected to not only pay for my own but to pay for theirs as well.  Go fuck yourselves, go straight to Hell and so can Israel; I’ll give a fuck about them when you give a fuck about me and eject not only all the illegal assholes but also everyone who made the signs and cut this bullshit about this month and that for anyone except white, straight Americans — and not one second before.

All the pearl-clutching, and its already going on, makes me want to puke.

We caused this all the way back to the end of WWII and we’ve exacerbated the problem at every opportunity, including with our tampering in Iran in the first place and sucking off KSA monarchs instead of building out our own infrastructure to provide for our own energy security and telling everyone over there that if they wish to play “This Land is Mine” have at but all we’re going to do is sell tickets to the pretty light show.

Update: Late yesterday rumors emerged that some of the weapons Hamas used were sourced through Ukraine.  One should never take any sort of “reporting” of this type of claim as true at first blush but if indeed it is true then we are responsible in part for enabling the attacks, directly.  The implications of this are profound and since weapons are serialized the IDF — and Mossad — does know if in fact this is true.
