Cousin gets word back home from Israel.

Not good for anyone. Fighting inside Israel worse than being reported. Family doesn't even know where he is.
Anyone have other news?

1. The Middle East is unraveling.

Just wait until Hezbollah starts getting involved.

There was mention of rockets from Lebanon last night on AlJazeera English.

2. That's being reported now on MSNBC.

Rockets from Lebanon. Pretty soon everything in Lebanon of value will be rubble too.

5. Netanyahu is getting the war he wished for...

hope everyone is happy.

[Bettie]

6. And that is the truth

this was orchestrated to draw attention away from his legal troubles and scuttle any sort of government being formed.

In the end, this is about one man holding onto power by any means necessary.

7. Wag the dog.

3. They went to Jarred...

and he basically brokered a real estate deal, giving no credence to Palestinian rights or desires.

More fruit of the Trump tree.

4. I have a friend who has been posting on FB

Text after text of take shelter messages, night and day. Photos of incoming rockets day and night. She's terrified.

8. In the book "On the Beach" the nuclear war that

ended everything started with some kind of trouble in the Middle East. I can't recall the specifics.

9. The war began with a nuclear attack by Albania on Italy, and then escalated with the bombing of the

United States and the United Kingdom by Egypt. Because the aircraft used in these attacks were obtained from the Soviet Union, the Soviets were mistakenly blamed, triggering a retaliatory strike on the Soviet Union by NATO.

There is also an attack by the Soviets on the People's Republic of China, which may have been a response to a Chinese attack aimed at occupying Soviet industrial areas near the Chinese border. Most, if not all, of the bombs included cobalt to enhance their radioactive properties.
