| Ugly scenes outside White House as anti-Israel protesters smear entrance with red paint | |
| 2023-11-05 | |
Protesters, which were estimated to be over 10,000, carried Palestinian flags and signs demanding a free Palestine. After the scheduled march reached the White House, protesters sprayed red paint on the northwestern gate of the residence, even prying it open at one point. Secret Service reported that it was able to stop any trespass beyond the gate "without incident." There were still protesters on the premises at the time of its report. The protest was partially sponsored by by far-left advocacy group Code Pink, which recently organized a sit-in at the offices of numerous Democrats to demand Congress attempt to enforce a ceasefire. It ultimately led to the arrest of 52 demonstrators. A vigil is also expected to place across the street from the presidential residence, in honor of those who have died. More than 9,400 Palestinians have died since Oct. 7, according to the Health Ministry in Gaza which is run by Hamas, while more than 1,400 Israelis have died. Among the signs was a banner several feet long that listed the names of Palestinian victims. President Joe Biden has thus far rebuffed calls for a ceasefire, including from members of his own party. Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) has been particularly vocal in his criticism of Israel, as well as the Biden administration, accusing the president of backing "ethnic cleansing." | |

| #17 Re: Xi moving on Taiwan: My prediction is that Xi, etal, will wait until the US frays a little more. Looking at next summer when the temperature brings out the mostly peaceful protesters, campaign season is in full $hit-storm, and we run out of pallets to send to Iran (loaded with then-worthless FRN's). |

| #15 As for losing the media/propaganda war, I think the corporate media's success at calling the tune is much degraded these days. Just because they are getting their line out there doesn't mean the proles are buying anymore. |

| #14 #13 addresses At the moment, it is the propaganda war that is the strategic center of gravity for Israel. |

| #13 ^Nonsense. We lost the propaganda war 2000 year ago (who crusified Jesus?). So now, we have to rely on Dimona mushrooms. |

| #12 ^ Like the alphabet rainbow people, they are a small cohort in terms of total votes. Their value to the left is their strident volume and use as a cudgel to attack anyone not getting with the progressive program. |

| #11 The breadth and depth of the rhetoric and demonstrations reveal the long ignored level of Muslim penetration of our political, academic and media institutions. The obvious successes of the Gaza retaliation by Israel is forcing an overt demonstration of how significant this has become. Bidet and the coalition behind the Puppet Show hate Israel, and will do all they can sub-rosa to damage it, but not at the risk of any domestic political damage. At present, Israel seems to be losing the media/propaganda war in the West, despite the clearly justified causation. If this continues, the children over at Foggy Bottom will push for more Hamas rescue. At the moment, it is the propaganda war that is the strategic center of gravity for Israel. |

| #10 A weapons embargo of Israel will soon take place, Germany and others will sell Israel what bullets they can. possibly an air and naval blockade of the entire region. Breaking out in the open with their hatred of Israel? That would drive even more of the Jewish donor class away. And would the blockade stop drones? |

| #6 This is both a consequence of the near total erosion of Western deterrence after 9/11 and will cause further erosion of deterrence. What conclusion will Putin, Xi, Kim, the Mullahs er al draw from these pictures? |

| #3 But, none of this bears any equivalence whatsoever to any protest that ever took place in Washington DC while Trump was President. |

| #1 The HAMAS senior leadership have likely all escaped to villas in Cairo or Zermatt. The administration will soon cave to leftist demands. A weapons embargo of Israel will soon take place, possibly an air and naval blockade of the entire region. |
