      Israel successfully intercepted three drones off the coast of Israel on Sunday morning, the IDF announced.

      The IDF stated that two of the drones were intercepted by a missile ship of the Navy in the Mediterranean Sea, though they didn’t mention where the UAVs were launched from.

      The other was intercepted by the Air Force from the east off the coast of central Israel.

      There were no casualties, and no alerts were activated.

      TLDR version: Support Israel. You’re supporting Liberalism around the world and the citizens of Gaza that are committed to peace when you do.

      This is a good time to be grateful to be a US citizen or otherwise living long distances away from large concentrations of people that hold beliefs that lead them down the path of taking this on as a project. Every mile buys a measure of safety.

      People wonder why Mossad and the IDF are so incredibly fucking capable and the US spends so much money arming them. Look at who their nextdoor neighbors are. Look at their neighbors’ patterns of behavior and look at the things they say and do around the world. These are very persistent folks.

      Necessity is the mother of invention. Look at what the US and Israel invent – Iron Dome. A shield for civilians that launches defensive missiles to protect civilians at significant cost to them as taxpayers. Look at what Israel’s neighbors invent. Tunnels under civilians to use them as shields for their “leaders”.

      What possible necessity are some of these people providing for that justifies their very specific types of inventions? There are plenty of good people that will remain very committed to the ‘protect and defend’ mission regardless of cost – it is a necessity. But what are we going to do about the problem that is making us all work this hard for, spend so much money on, and sacrifice so much for?

      And why isn’t it obvious to everyone that if Sinwar were a “good guy” he’d be up waving a white flag over his head to every news station he could find? That’s what a good guy does if he is surrounded like this. He would have done it a long time ago. He could stop Netanyahu in his tracks in an instant, and yet he seems incapable of doing the only obvious thing to do? Who else hid in a bunker like this? Who was his enemy? And what was he trying to do?

      This is getting beyond concerning that people can’t seem to see that. It is very fortunate Israel is capable of defending itself and has the US as the world’s closest neighbor no matter the distance in miles. These people are very persistent at exploiting vulnerabilities… But fortunately it looks like they will never be persistent enough.

      No one is trying to start a regional war on the “good guy” team. That isn’t anyone’s grand aspiration or project. But it may not be avoidable forever. That’s just reality when confronted with this particular situation. We do our absolute best to make the most of a terrible hand others dealt. Netanyahu is a very imperfect man, but his moral clarity, eloquence, and decisiveness are unbelievable attributes for Israel in this moment.

      Fortunately, this time – Netanyahu is Churchill, the US is France, and the initial invasion only claimed 1,200 lives. There is very regrettably a serious problem in Europe with Ukraine under invasion from Russia, but thank God for NATO. Nothing like a bit of self-interest to keep Europe in the game…

      It’s time to wake up here people. Liberalism is under threat everywhere you look. All it takes to beat it back is for the world to back Israel in this moment. They’re not going to go crazy. They are the only people I’d trust not to abuse the kind of power they hold in this moment – they are the survivors of the holocaust. That teaches you things about life.

      I apologize for the long rant, but this is truly getting absurd. France is asking to stop arming Israel now? We’re back to Vichy government days while Britain has another Chamberlain moment.

      This stuff matters. Life matters. Freedom matters. We need to take the reminder, set down our distractions, and do it with much less violence this time. The Jews are leading the way. This is our chance to finally trust and do right by them. This is how you pay them back – by letting them save you.

      Most selfish people in the world? Try most generous.

      All they want, and all they have ever wanted, is to live in peace with their neighbors. Why is this so hard for us to see? We really need to address that problem.

      Please feel free to share this, it’s exactly what they don’t want to have happen.

      Shalom, and apologies for the rough language.
