Blinken tells Israel that the U.S. will provide them with everything they need
Israel has reported at least 600 Israelis dead in what is being described as the worst attack since the Yom Kippur War. A Hamas leader has claimed that they’ve captured enough Israelis, military and civilian, to swap out for jailed Palestinians. Meanwhile, Antony Blinken declared that the US is working to confirm reports that Americans are among those killed and missing. Blinken rebuffed reports that a part of the funds released to Iran helped finance this operation, insisting that it was only to be used for humanitarian purposes.
From The Messenger:
“We have reports that several Americans were killed. We’re working overtime to verify that. At the same time, there are reports of missing Americans and there again, we’re working to verify those reports,” Blinken told CNN’s Dana Bash on “State of the Union.”
Blinken declared the violence in Gaza, which has resulted in at least 600 Israelis dead, is the worst attack on Israel “since the Yom Kippur War” in 1973.
The Yom Kippur War was different though, Blinken argued, because it was a “conventional war” between militaries. He described the violence by militant group Hamas as a “massive terrorist attack on Israeli citizens.”
Blinken said he’s been in constant contact with Israeli officials like Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. He said the US will provide Israel with “everything they need” and said more specifics would be announced later on Sunday.
Israel’s security cabinet declared war on on Hamas on Saturday with Netanyahu vowing “mighty vengeance for this wicked day.”
The Messenger and The New York Post provide additional information.

Ham-ass is a bunch of third world fleabags who not only hide behind Women and Children, but they also target them as well. I wonder how the Biden administration plans to fuck this all up?
I wouldn’t even want to think about that scenario. Iran I’m sure told those in charge in DC that it would only be used for humanitarian efforts (wink, nudge). Iran’s version of humanitarian aid is different than the western world.
The “world” is not going to like Israel’s response. The “world ” isn’t hated as much as Israel is.
I too stand with Israel 🇮🇱
You don’t give them enough credit. Biden gave Iran the $6 billion to finance this with.
Things are gonna get uglier if Hezbolla(don’t care if I misspelled their goatfucker club’s name) attack from the north and others from Syria.
What is Zelensky gonna do to stay relevant? Maybe he will start an Onlyfans
I support your idea of financing wars through having all the leaders cam whoring for cash. How soon can we implement that?
I can just imagine it leading to an online competition for aid $$ between Zelensky and Netanyahoo to see who can fit the biggest rubber fist up their 2hole.
“Ham-ass”
Proud, you rock.
*grin*
Thankyuhverymuch, I like doing things like that thinking it’s bound to put a cocklebur in some snowflake’s pantyhose!
Speaking of… somebody seems to have not opined on this matter. Would this certain someone agree with us, or take a different course and doesn’t want to suffer the slings and arrows that would possibly come his way?
Let’s see.
Said certain person should be ranting by now… am kinda concerned, butthurt (as he sustained earlier) can have dire effect upon proggies.
He’s either back on his meds, waiting for his talking points, or busy protesting “indigenous peoples day” with his commie butt buddies..
Being that it’s been almost 36 hours and he hasn’t been pumped full of enough amphetamines to get him to coherently read a teleprompter? I’ll go ahead and guess he’s going to fuck it up bigly. Or whomever is in charge will. In this case, probably Blinken.
Frankly, I don’t think the Biden administration “plans” to fuck things up. They couldn’t plan a bowel movement. They’re so inept (hiring based on DEI) that fucking up is inevitable.
Blinky was forced to delete his tweets calling for a ceasefire from social media. Not sure if his idea was to let Hamas keep their hostages or not.
Interesting perspective on the numbers –
Given the population differential between the US and Israel, this would be equivalent to more than 20,000 being killed on 9/11. Then again, that was with yesterdays numbers of 300 dead. Reports are now saying more than 600 dead.
“…more specifics would be announced later on Sunday”.
No. Announce nothing. Just do it.
Like ol’ Eli Wallach said:
“Blinken rebuffed reports that a part of the funds released to Iran helped finance this operation, insisting that it was only to be used for humanitarian purposes.”
and
“the US will provide Israel with “everything they need””
IOW – we will fund both sides. No wonder the world hates us.
“IOW – we will fund both sides. No wonder the world hates us.”
The MIC…grins!
“the US will provide Israel with “everything they need””
Wonder how long it will be before that includes American Boys and Girls?
“…wars and rumors of wars…”
Prepare
I’d opt for decisive action, now – even if it means the short-term blood of American volunteers.
Half-measures only prolong problems. My heart genuinely weeps for all the innocent collateral on every side (not “both sides,” every side), and there ARE innocents on every side who will suffer grievously; still, it needs to be addressed and violence is a language that never understands anything else.
Before you ask, yes. Promise me decisive action and I’ll volunteer myself.
No argument here, I agree with all you said and if I were 30 or 40 years younger, I’d stand shoulder to shoulder with you. This subject was discussed in detail back in ’73 when I was wearing a pickle suit and we may and/or may not have had people that were directly involved. I admit nothin…call my lawer. Maybe we shoulda, woulda, coulda, had oughta finished it then? The Bear was being held on his side of the Gap by tactical, well concealed mobile canned sunshine and the IDF was mopping everything up into Syria and Egypt. Politics, and the MIC seeing the VN War pretty much over (there goes the gravy train), meant it had to drag it out for another 50 years. And here we are.
That whole area has been in turmoil since the beginning of time, and will be until the Seventh (7th) Seal is opened. The last two (2) standing will use a rock to kill one another. The other A Rabs shafted the folks that were in Palestine in the late 1940s, using them as a “blocking force” while the rest of the Western World tried to placate their guilt over the WWII atrocities. YMMV
It’s not a trait unique to Arabs. We’re all creatures of war, whether we worship Mithras, Odin, or some long-haired, freaky Jewish hippie. Every area is in a constant state of turmoil/potential turmoil….
“Where resides the comforting knowledge of history’s vast, cyclical sweep, the ebb and flow of wars and peace? Peace is the time of waiting for war. A time of preparation, or a time of willful ignorance, blind, blinkered and prattling behind secure walls.”

People suck.
Eh. They have their moments.
People are people; war is far more often a matter of us-v-them than of right-v-wrong.
Purging the world of Hamas (not Palestinians as a whole) is one of the very rare exceptions.
What is everything Anthony since you have shoveled everything to Ukraine, even munitions stored in Israel.
This administration has already screwed it all up by supplying Ukraine, crippling US military readiness as a result, and they have drained the SPR.
Just one little hiccup in the global oil supply while winter approaches…
And Beijing gets frisky
A convenient hiccup in the oil supply while lots of politicians have money invested in Oil Futures!

As someone in the comments said… part 2 coming soon.
That was me
Good stuff
Me thinks that Range 19 is boots on the ground.
Its time.
Let’s see how quickly our “dear leaders” start showing Israeli flags on their laptops, and how quickly zelinski starts complaining that “his” money is being diverted to Israel.
Let’s see if the current douche bags in DC attach strings to Israeli aid on what it can be used on or for.
I see this administration telling the only ally in the region we have how to run their affairs if they wish to continue getting aide from us. You know, like they did Ukraine.
Laptops. I meant to say lapels.
My thoughts eggs-xactly, Odie! Great (sick? conspiring?) minds DO think alike. The “foreign aid” grifters will use this opportunity to add more to their ill gotten gains. Some rumors have it that Zman has already sent some of his US Aid $ to Israel in the form of real estate purchases or other “investments”.
I do stand with the people of Israel that are caught up in the middle of this madness, just as I stand with the people of the ‘kraine. The grubermints and global elitists that are making this fracas the “next big thing” or an “October surprise” to change the news headlines?…not so much.
I still say we need to concentrate on defending our country FIRST. We have had over 7 MILLION illegals pour thru our Southern Border in the last 3 years. What if only 1% of them are sleeper terrorists?
Prepare
Well, I have been told to seek professional help.
OAM is ready when you are…and IIRC, she’s just right up the road from you. How does that make you feel? *grin*
It’s nice to have good neighbors 🙂
Just remember to keep it professional and that I was the FIRST to declare my deep admiration and undying love for her. Bad enough that I’m having to compete with The Chipster for her affections. You can be there in a coupla hours…take me at least 12…and the Waffle House to go plate would be cold by the time I got there.
She may wish I lived more than 2 hrs away, lol
Take her some Guinness…and don’t be this guy… *grin*
“zelinski starts complaining that “his” money is being diverted to Israel.”
Nonononono! Ukrainians love the Jews! They have a long history of Jew-loving! No Nazis in Ukraine! You are thinking of those nasty Russians next door.
Yeah! All the Ukrainian Nazis are already dead or in Canada.
Mr. Reilly, a high school teacher (taught US Government and Bookkeeping, 2 mutually exclusive subjects) and guidance counselor who I greatly respected, had a constant refrain: “Do not mess with The Jews. They never forget”. Never referred to Israel. Just an incredible amount of respect for “The Jews” as a people.
I have no doubt Israel will kick some serious ass. They’ve never lost an inch of ground yet. Even when attacked from three sides. The only thing that’s kept Palestine from being turned to glass by them is the US pulling their leash every time the Arabs start getting walloped by the Jews.
Here’s hoping that bidens ineptness keeps the regime from doing that this time, and lets events take their natural course.
What if they don’t need lipstick and hairspray?
Or to be told what to do…
This will more likely be the case. The proper response from Israel should be a huge finger with both hands.
I am filled with confidence in our steely-eyed SECSTATE to navigate this latest opportunity to excel to a resounding conclusion.
Me too. Since she did 20 years as a CIA analyst on the ME Desk before becoming a Professor of Political Science at UVA she has a lot of the background needed.
Well, she looks normal. She can’t possibly be in the current administration, as she doesn’t appear to check all the weirdo boxes.
It’s Tia Leoni. She was the lead in the TV show that was supposed to make Hillary Clinton look good. HRC never could have looked that good.
If Hillary looked like that, Bill wouldn’t have needed interns. Or trips to an island.
We support Ukraine already and this will be even more– great time for Chicoms to kickoff on Taiwan.
That’s what I was thinking. It would be the perfect time
Blinken to 🇮🇱: We stand behind you.
🇮🇱: I know, I’ve felt you there many times
We need to let Bibi and the boys clean house. No more of this stopping them before they can deal the knockout blow. The Israelis were free-wheeling to Cairo and Damascus in ‘73 with nothing to stop them until we pulled them back. Let them finish the job this time. It’ll be a lot cheaper in the long run.
Then what? Hezbollah and Hamas don’t give a rat’s ass about Cairo or Damascus.
Chase them to wherever they go. Damascus and Cairo can decide if they want to help or have their cities destroyed.
Just making a historical comparison to make the point that we need to let the Israelis finish the job.
Can we lend/lease the IDF a squadron of B52s for the weekend?
60,000 pounds of explosives has a way of getting someone’s attention!🤣
Zelinski will be asking where his lend/lease/60000 is of explosives are.
I’ll tell him that the check is in the mail…in the mailbox that a young MustangCPT may or may not have inserted a pack of “Thunderbomb” firecrackers sometime in the ‘80’s at the prompting of an older cousin.
Ooooh, those older cousins. They’ll get you in trouble.
Every single fucking time…🤣🧨
He’ll be like that sibling saying “What about ME? Where’s MINE?”.
Ask Israel if they would like 24 A-10Cs with unlimited ammo.
Now there is an idea. Since they are worthless to us maybe the IDF can find a use for them.
OK navy guys… I’ve read the Gerald ford has been deployed along with assorted other ships, and the Gerald Ford is leaving the western Mediterranean and the distance is about 1000 miles. How long will it take for all to arrive assuming good weather, or at least not horrible weather.
I’m assuming, or guestimateing, 3 or 4 days?
Depending on the seas, they could be on station in 36 to 48 hours.
That’s quicker than I thought.
The Med is a puddle compared to getting to the Indian or Pacific Oceans.
Sorry, should have said navy guys AND gals. My apologies.
Super carriers are surprisingly fast. They use that speed to help generate lift for the planes. With their nuclear reactors, power is not a concern, and they don’t run out of gas.
USS Ford is listed in open source intel as being able to steam in excess of 30 knots. They can cover more than 800 miles a day at that speed.
Sorry Hamas is NOT a ‘militant’ group.
Hamas is a bunch of Jew hating vermin who kill civilians for laffs.
Hamas delenda est. This time with D9 St. Pancake Specials to make sure no stone stands atop another.
Ah, the Rachel Corrie gambit…well played.
Gotta flatten ’em all.
Put that to the Pokemon theme,
“Gotta flat ’em all
Gotta flat ’em all….”
The poster child for “fuck around and find out”.
In their own display:
Seig heil…. I mean, good morning.
So, did I miss anything or is the only in person comment by Biden his statement yesterday that he didn’t get briefed on the Hamas attacks until after he awoke on Saturday morning? That was like 8 hours after shit started. And that statement sounded like he was reading a teleprompter…BADLY, no inflection or emotion. We are SO fucked.
Oh, it gets worse…the story is making the rounds that music was heard emanating from the Rose Garden. Apparently our fearless leader was having a BBQ with executive staff and their families with a live band. Now, even if this event had been planned for some time, it’s kind of tone deaf to not postpone this while Americans were killed during a terrorist attack and there are citizens being held hostage as a result of this attack. FJB and his whole family.
Oh and Turkey is pissed at us too, but that didn’t even make the newsies.
https://www.airandspaceforces.com/us-f-16-downs-turkish-drone-syria/
Fuck the Turks.
This dipshit Administration already gave the masterminds behind this (Iranian mullahs) $6 Billion smackaroos to fund all kinds of little fun adventures like this.
Not to mention, there’s no telling how many weapons have made their way from Taliban Afghanistan to their little terrorist buddies in Gaza over the past two years.
But at the end of the day, if you voted for this assclown of an administration (I’m talking to you Lars, et al), I hold you responsible for this shit.
Well, apparently we didn’t “give” Iran the money per se, but to someone who could get it to them.
Potato, potatah. Another wink and a nudge.
https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2023/10/08/stop-pretending-its-not-the-fungibility-its-the-location-of-the-6-billion-returned-to-iran/
Gaza can be a new parking lot or airport. Raze & pave.
We need to provide these Middle Eastern terrorist, Muslim Nazis this.
I had relatives in Israel in the past. They’re in the states now. I loved visiting Israel. The last time I was there was in 2011. I think that this would be a good time to nuke Iran. My opinion and 5 dollars will get you s crappy cup of coffee at Starbucks. I hope Israel flattens the West Bank and Gaza strip.
And on the home front,
Maybe we should treat this woman like she would be treated at home.
The Trojan horse has successfully been deployed.
Too bad her father didn’t wear a Trojan…
How are we going to continue pouring taxpayer dollars into Zelensky’s bank account, while simultaneously providing Israel with “everything they need?”
I’m sure Volodymyr is wringing his hands at the prospect of his American money spigot being turned off.
True.

Something I hadn’t noticed or thought about until this article.
Just because the media is not on the front line does not mean the Ukraine war is fake.
Go to the r/combat footage sub Reddit to see the live video.
There has been incredible footage of first person video of trench warfare.
Lots of soldiers filming their own deaths.
And truly phenomenal drone video.
Nlaw missile hitting helicopters, grenade drops into open tank hatches, and even kamikaze drones hitting targets.
There was one firefight where 2 Ukrainians defended their trench against multiple attackers. One guy kept the other guy supplied with loaded rifles, loaded and handed over multiple RPG’s and the 2 of them kept up a continuous stream of fire, mowing down enemies at close range.
Modern war has been completely transformed by go pro and drones
