Reading a deep dive, journalistically sound analysis of Mia Khalifa and other porn subjects was not how I expected to spend some of my afternoon, but here we are. Good stuff in The Back Pages, thank you.

Parker, appreciate your post that brings together the Ukraine - Israel connection. You state that Israel has resisted arming and training Ukraine, so as to not upset Russia and their alliance with Iran vis-a-vis Syria. I guess you could say that's the case directly. But maybe not indirectly? You probably know that Israel arms depot WRSA-I has been (and I think continues to be) a laundering point for a massive amount of 155mm shells. The USA supplies WRSA-1 arms depot in Israel, and then much of those stocks flow north to Zelensky. USA uses an arms depot in South Korea the same way (and ROK said easier to work with). We know this because Israeli voices sounded the alarm in the New York Times article in Jan '23, about how low the Israel arms depot stocks were getting low, due to those arms being diverted to Ukraine:

Don't bet on the Democrats instead of engaging in disinformation on a massive level with the help of Big Tech and the mainstream media, ever investigating the cause of today's massive cell phone outage . This was simply too big an outage to have been simply a workplace accident, to use one of Obama's less intelliget descriptions of a terrorr attack

The Democrats when you combine their diplomactic perspective on Hamas and Israel and the views of the impeachment investigation spearheaded by Jordan and Comer can only be described as a narrative based on self delusion in willful defiance of the facts on the ground

Re: “U.S. Scheming for a Palestinian State Unwittingly Strengthens Netanyahu”

Once again, Gadi Taub cuts through all the noise and B.S. to reveals the truth as it stands in reality. The powers that be that are arrayed against Israel now are awesome to consider.

It is beyond clear now that the future survival of Israel rests squarely and solely on the shoulders of the Israeli people themselves, and no one else.

Enough! I am finally pulling the plug on The Scroll because I can no longer withstand the Trumpist slant of your commentary. I have been reading the Jewish Press since I was a teenager and now I am an old man still reading The forward, JTA, Hey Alma, the Nosher, Tablet -- but no more of The Scroll on account of your deceitful, mewling, Trumpistic rubbish. Basta! Enough of your Biden bashing.
