If the Zionist Jew Klux Klan wants to do stupid shit they need to stand up and take the guff on their own. Bullies get shit kicked now and again so if shit happens, its their shit.. If they get their legs broken dont come running to the Christians to hide behind like a bunch of pussies.
The Houthi militia, born in the wilds of northwestern Yemen, has been wanting a war with Israel for decades. Its distinctive five-line motto, printed on flags and chanted at rallies by the group’s faithful, includes the lines “Death to Israel” and “Curses on the Jews.”

(It’s good to have goals)

The Houthis got their wish on July 19, when one of their drones struck a high-rise in Tel Aviv, killing one man and wounding four others. The blast signaled a troubling new reality: Already embattled with Hamas in the south and Hezbollah in the north, Israel is now fighting yet another Islamist group, one that has succeeded—however modestly—in penetrating its fabled air defenses.
Common denominator with Hezbollah & Houthi’s & Hamas & Islamic Jihad, etc…?

Top Iranian officials will meet the representatives of Iran's regional allies from Lebanon, Iraq and Yemen on Thursday to discuss potential retaliation against Israel after the killing of the Hamas leader in Tehran, five sources told Reuters.

The region faces a risk of widened conflict between Israel, Iran and its proxies after Ismail Haniyeh's assassination in Tehran on Wednesday and the killing of Hezbollah's senior commander on Tuesday in an Israeli strike on the outskirts of the Lebanese capital Beirut.

Representatives of Iran's Palestinian allies Hamas and the Islamic Jihad, as well as Yemen's Tehran-backed Houthi movement, Lebanon's Hezbollah and Iraqi resistance groups will attend the meeting in Tehran, said the sources, who declined to be named due to the sensitivity of the issue.

"Iran and the resistance members will conduct a thorough assessment after the meeting in Tehran to find the best and most effective way to retaliate against the Zionist regime (Israel)," said a senior Iranian official, with direct knowledge of the meeting.

Huh…well, that’s new & different I guess. Resistance against Israel’s resistance against Iran & its proxies multi-front attacks.

Another Iranian official said Supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and senior members of Iran's elite Revolutionary Guards will attend. That sounds like a significant target for an aerial counter strike, but that’s a different story…
"How Iran and the resistance front will respond is currently being reviewed ... This will certainly happen and the Zionist regime (Israel) will undoubtedly regret it," General Mohammad Baqeri, Iran's armed forces chief of staff, told state TV on Thursday.

Iran and Hamas have accused Israel of carrying out the strike that killed Haniyeh hours after he attended the inauguration of Iran's new president in Tehran on Wednesday.

But Israeli officials have not claimed responsibility for the attack that drew threats of revenge on Israel and fuelled further concern that the Israel-Hamas conflict in Gaza was turning into an all-out war in the Middle East.

Israeli air force chief Tomer Bar, speaking at a military graduation ceremony in Israel late on Wednesday, warned Israel will act against anyone planning to harm its citizens….so they will retaliate against the retaliation against the retaliation for the retaliation of the retaliation from the retaliation…sort’a thing.

"We are also strongly prepared in defence.
1722514682268.jpegHundreds of aerial defence soldiers, along with air control personnel, are stationed across the country with the best systems, ready to carry out their mission," said Bar.

Haniyeh and the leader of the Islamic Jihad, Ziad al-Nakhala, as well as senior representatives of Yemen's Tehran-backed Houthi movement and Lebanon's Hezbollah, attended the inauguration ceremony for Iran's new president in Tehran on Tuesday.

Zionism is Imperialism. Flat out. So what are they after? They want Judea and Samaria.

People also ask
What are Judea and Samaria called today?

The term Judea and Samaria serves as another name for the West Bank in Israel.
https://en.wikipedia.org › wiki › Ju...
Judea and Samaria Area - Wikipedia

What you get out of it? Backlash for carte blanche support of Imperialism and then all we do is complain when Israel gets a stick in eye or we are in a state of shock and bewilderment as to why things like 911 happen.

Do you hold a 2300 year old grudge against Sumeria (Iraq)? How about a 1950 year old grudge against Rome? How many Westerners aka Christians have died being duped into this ancient grudge?

Judea and Samaria havent existed since 73AD which by the way weren't part of Israel. Why should they now?

Its all written in some book that has been a best seller for thousands of years.

If Israel wanted a wider war (if they did actually kill the guy; we'll assume yes), this was the way to get it…

…Good that he's dead. Israel - if they did this though - fucked things up more.
Iran will almost certainly have to conduct some kind of operation against Israel. It has been attacked on its sovereign soil and retaliation will be expected.

Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei said Wednesday it was Tehran’s “duty” to respond and pledged “harsh punishment” for Israel.

The question is what that retaliation will consist of and how belligerent it will be.

But as Tehran ponders what its next move will be, one thing will probably be top of mind for the Supreme Leader — someone is clearly leaking Iranian secrets to the other side.

In the April attack, the Wall Street Journal reported that the Saudis and the UAE passed on intelligence from Iran to the U.S. On Wednesday, Haniyeh could almost certainly not have been targeted without Israel gaining detailed intelligence from inside the country.

As the head of Hamas’s political bureau, he (Haniyeh) has been living mostly in Doha in luxury since his so-called self-imposed exile from Gaza in 2019. News reports estimate he is worth US$4 billion.

His jet-setting lifestyle contrasts starkly with the conditions in Gaza that he left behind.

Within hours of his death, news reports described him as being a “moderate” within the Hamas terror group.

Yet this is the man who believes wiping Israel off the map is “inevitable.” And that all the deaths in Gaza were necessary because “it awakens within us the revolutionary spirit.”

And in a speech just hours after the October 7 killing of more than 1,100 people, praised the attack and promised more to come. “We will continue the resistance against this enemy until we liberate our land, all our land,” he said from the safety and luxury of Doha.

Moderate seems a strange word for a man openly calling for genocide.
With tensions rising between Israel and Hezbollah, the government again told Canadians in Lebanon to get out of the country and warned that a government-sponsored evacuation is not a guarantee.

On Saturday, a rocket slammed into a soccer field in the Golan Heights area killing 12 children. Israeli officials blamed Hezbollah for the attack, but the terrorist group denied responsibility. Israel launched an attack Tuesday killing a senior Hezbollah commander in a suburb of Beirut.

Hezbollah has attacked Israel repeatedly both before and since the Oct. 7 terrorist attacks, but there are now fears of a wider war, similar to what happened in 2006 when 15,000 Canadians required government assistance to leave the country.

There are currently just over 21,000 Canadians registered as living in Lebanon, but that is likely an undercount because registration is voluntary. She stressed Canadians should not assume the government will be able to get them out in the event of a broader war.

The evacuation in 2006 cost almost $100 million and involved the lease of multiple ships as well as Canadian military assets. People fleeing Lebanon were taken to Cyprus and were then responsible for their travel from there.

Canada’s travel advice for Lebanon has warned Canadians not to travel to the country and consider leaving since last October.

And it should be made clear that we won't be helping them get out anymore since we can't afford it. Thank Mr. Trudy!!

Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan on Thursday declared Friday, Aug 2, a day of national mourning over the killing of the head of Hamas' political bureau Ismail Haniyeh.
"In order to show our support for the Palestinian Cause and our solidarity with our Palestinian siblings, a day of national mourning was declared today (August 2 Friday) due to Hamas Political Bureau Chairman Ismail Haniyeh's martyrdom," he said on social media platform X.
Turkey's communications authority blocked access to the social media platform Instagram on Friday, the latest instance of a clampdown on websites in the country.
The Information and Communication Technologies Authority, which regulates the internet, announced the block early Friday but did not provide a reason.

Sabah newspaper, which is close to the government, said access was blocked in response to Instagram removing posts by Turkish users that expressed condolences over the killlingof Hamas political leader Ismail Haniyeh.

Unlike its Western allies, Turkey does not consider Hamas to be a terror organization. A strong critic of Israel's military actions in Gaza, Erdogan has described the groupas "liberation fighters."

Turkey has a track record of censoring social media and websites. Hundreds of thousands of domains have been blocked since 2022, according to the Freedom of Expression Association, a non-profit organization regrouping lawyers and human rights activists. The video-sharing platform YouTube was blocked from 2007 to 2010.

On Friday, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin ordered the USS Abraham Lincoln strike group to replace the USS Theodore Roosevelt strike group, which is currently operating in the Gulf of Oman, according to a statement from Pentagon deputy press secretary Sabrina Singh.

In addition, destroyers and cruisers capable of ballistic missile defense will also be sent to the Middle East and the Mediterranean Sea. The statement does not say which warships have been sent, but two US destroyers in the eastern Mediterranean Sea took part in intercepting the barrage of strikes Iran launched against Israel in April.

Austin also ordered the deployment of a fighter squadron to the region, Singh said.

The US already has the USS Wasp amphibious assault ship in the region, which operates with the 24th Marine Expeditionary Unit, capable of carrying out an evacuation of US citizens in Lebanon should it be ordered.

US officials said the anticipated Iranian attack could occur in the coming days, and the US is closely watching the region for any indications of how it might play out. Officials said the attack may be similar to the barrage of ballistic missiles and drones Iran launched against Israel in April, but it could also be larger and more complex, coordinated with Iranian proxies in the region.
