revmclaren's JournalI dont understand what you mean by irony.
But it is thought provoking and sobering.
If Israel deems a threat to their existence, they WILL consider the Samson Option.
The Samson Option...

The Samson Option was almost used in 1973 during the Yon Kippur war.

I have posted this numerous times in threads you have posted in. But I guess I'll just have to keep posting it.
You seem very glib about it.
Since it is in the nature of terrorists to parade
their hostages in front of cameras, the more the better, how many here on DU believe that most (or at least a large proportion) of the hostages are dead or at the least, too injured to ever be shown?
Thank you for the NEW DU.
The format works just fine for me.
Being able to Rec all responses to an OP is a definite plus, and having the archives easily available by date offers a wonderful opportunity to research past posts and what lead us to this place in history.
Thank you dear administrators.

I just saw a live barrage of rockets being launched
Northwards from Gaza city. I was watching Agenda-Free on YouTube.

This is going to bring airstrikes.
Hamas also announced they had launched. Murdering terrorist scum.
Lily cat has passed.
Lily cat passed over the rainbow bridge today at 445 pm. We knew today would be the day since the cancer had become expediently worse over the last week. This morning we made the appointment at her vet. She left us in mine and my daughter's arms.
I am so devastated right now but at least she is out of the pain that she suffered.
I will respond later to any replies. This evening will be for morning.
UPDATED.......
Thank you everyone for your kind words and understanding in this painful time. Bless all of you.

Update on Lily cat...
Took her in to get stitches out but as we feared, the stitches wouldn't hold. Since the stitches didn't take the wound from the biopsy wont heal. She's eating but having issues with defecating so giving her pumpkin to help. She is definitely slowing down.
Having to clean area twice a day with antibiotic solution. Pain meds and antibiotics twice a day. So very sad. She really chose me to be her human and this is heartbreaking. But we'll give her all the love and attention she needs until till it's her time. Probably this will be very soon.
I'll have to be the one to make the decision. I don't want her to suffer. She is starting to seek out places to be alone so I know the time is nearing.
My sister bought a pet stroller for her and the boys so I'll take her out for a walk this evening when it cools down.
Took this a few minutes ago. She's had pain meds and is resting.

Terrible news about our furbaby Lily.
Our sweet lily cat has been diagnosed with terminal cancer. She is almost 16 and began showing a lesion on her butt some weeks ago and we took her to the vet and they told us it may only be an infected anal gland and they prescribed antibiotics. After the meds ran out, and it was worse, we took her back in and the prescribed more antibiotics and scheduled a biopsy for last Thursday.
The biopsy was very hard on her and we got her a puffy flower shaped cone so she could be more comfortable. The results came back Wedneday as positive and it is a rare cancer mostly found in dogs. We could see a specialist but they said it may not do any good and would probably require reconstructive surgery as well.
She gets the stitches out Thursday and we will talk with the vet about how to make her comfortable for her last days.
She still really likes her food and treats and we are giving her all the love and attention she can soak up.
I am so sad. Even though she is my sister's fur baby...who appeared on her doorstep as a kitten...she always seeks me out for attention.
I'll try to post photos soonest.
My heart aches.
The rise in retail theft calls for the return of Gemco type businesses.
Who here remembers Gemco?
Gemco was a membership store that was huge like a warehouse, and had only sample items on display so nothing could be pilfered. Below is a link to the Gemco Wikipedia page.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gemco
Modernizing check out and delivery options ...for both instore and online purchases plus knowledgable employees helping customers on the floor, would have a drastic effect on containing product loss.
There would always be a large warehouse team fulfilling customers orders and customers could actually see the product before purchasing unlike Amazon.
I worked in a Gemco store in the 80s demonstrating Hoover vacuum cleaners and I think Gemco was in many ways ahead of its it's time.
Let me know what you think.
A heads up DUers... in coming disrupters.
The ugly stepsister site JPR seems to be effectively off line the past 4 or 5 days. Every post comes up as unavailable including the site administrators information.
Not too long ago there were posts on JPR stating they would possibly be going off line if they got too much attention from the media and/or were possibly investigated because of their pro Russian views and propaganda.
Look for an influx of trolls and anti democratic posts due to returning disrupters and possible Russian trolls.
Many of us remember the last time and will be watchful.
Be strong, be aware, be ready.
Update: The internet is forever. www.archive.org has hundreds of JPR posts from this year alone.
