50 not 500 all attributable to Islamist Terrorists.

Report: Possibly 50 Were Killed at Gaza Hospital, not 500
By JOEL B. POLLAK
As Breitbart News reported, the explosion Tuesday night at the hospital turned out to be caused by an errant Palestinian rocket, not an Israeli airstrike, and the rocket hit the parking lot of the hospital, not the building itself, though there were casualties.
Watch – Media Repeat Hamas Propaganda on Hospital Blast; Israel Shows Evidence Terrorist Rocket Responsible
Now, the AFP reports (via Times of Israel), the initial figure of 500 dead — arrived at suspiciously quickly — may have been off by a factor of ten:
A senior European intelligence source tells AFP that he believes a maximum of 50 people were killed in the blast at the Al-Ahli Hospital in Gaza on Tuesday.
IDF spokesman Jonathan Conricus also disputed the Hamas-run ministry’s figures, asking, “Where are all the bodies?”
AFP correspondents saw dozens of bodies at the scene, with medics and civilians recovering bodies wrapped in white cloth, blankets or black plastic bags. Images of the hospital after the strike published by the Maxar satellite monitoring group show the hospital buildings mainly appeared to be intact.
The U.S. has concluded that Israel was not responsible, though U.S. intelligence assessments put the possible number of casualties higher, at somewhere between 100 and 300.

Courage in an age of moral degeneracy
As we reel from both evil and its facilitators, we salute those who publicly call this out
By MELANIE PHILLIPS
Courage, Anxiety and Despair: Watching the Battle; James Sant, c 1850
The news at present is unrelentingly grim. The Hamas pogrom in Israel two weeks ago didn’t just visit a very great evil upon that nation. It also revealed that this evil is embedded in the west.
Onto the streets of Britain, America, Germany and elsewhere have poured tens of thousands of people baying for the destruction of Israel, celebrating the depraved Hamas atrocities against Israeli men, women, children and babies and bringing the pathological Jew-hatred that’s been coursing through the west now for many years to a terrifying crescendo.
At such a terrible time, the Jewish people once again feel very alone. It’s not just the fanatical supporters of the genocidal Palestinian agenda to destroy Israel and murder the Jews — horrifying though they are — who are causing such distress. Worse still is how these murderous Jew-haters are indulged, legitimized, sanitized, enabled and encouraged by so-called liberals who promulgate the Jew-haters’ malevolent blood libels, promote a moral equivalence between genocide and resistance, and invert truth and lies, right and wrong, victim and victimizer.
These virtue-signaling “progressives” briefly wrung their hands over the Israelis who were tortured, raped, beheaded or burned alive by the savages of Hamas, and then averted their gaze to get down to business as normal — blaming the Jews for their own destruction. Dead Jews are the natural order of things; Jews who fight to stay alive cannot be permitted to upset it.
It’s very important, therefore, to acknowledge that this is itself a distorted picture of public opinion. There are millions of decent people who are horrified by what happened in Israel, who are aghast at the jubilant Jew-hatred now rampant on the streets and university campuses of Britain, America and elsewhere, and who understand that this evil that’s been unleashed threatens them too.
And there are also some individuals who are bravely and publicly telling the unambiguous truth, and confronting head-on the nauseating hypocrisy and cowardice of the so-called liberals who are dominant in political and cultural life and whose accommodation with evil has brought western civilisation to this terrifying inflexion point in its existence.
Here are some who have caught my eye over the past few days.
This is Mohammad Kabiya, an Israeli Arab Muslim reservist in the Israel Defense Forces, telling the unvarnished truth about Hamas and Israel’s need to defend itself — while the BBC Arabic station’s anchor vainly tries to “put the other side”, ie defend Hamas, in the BBC style to which we have become accustomed.
This is Eric Adams, the mayor of New York City, packing a terrific emotional punch at a “New York Stands With Israel” rally.
“You marched with us with Dr. King. You stood with us with all the fights we have. And I’m saying we’re going to stand with you and stand united together. And we don’t have to be all right. We should be angry at what we saw. Thank you, Israel.”
The British commentator and author Douglas Murray, interviewed on Talk TV by Julia Hartley-Brewer, took apart the “deep perversion” of Britain’s callow and idiotic requirement for Israel alone to make a “proportionate response” to genocidal attack. To watch, click here.
This is British politics professor Matthew Goodwin on BBC TV’s Politics Live, letting fly at the BBC’s coverage of Israel and Hamas.
“I can’t remember a time in my life when I’ve felt more ashamed by our national debate”. Read Matt’s Sub-stack blog here.
This is US Senator Ted Cruz, at the Senate Foreign Affairs Committee confirmation hearing for the prospective US ambassador to Israel Jacob Lew, absolutely ripping into both Lew and the Biden administration over their responsibility for the Hamas pogrom by having systematically appeased and empowered Iran. Epic.
Finally for now, Shai Davidai, an Israeli-American Assistant Professor of Management at Columbia Business School, New York, called out university presidents by name for allowing incitement against Jews by pro-terror organizations on campus.
“To the pro-terror organizations on campus…my two year-old daughter is a legitimate target of resistance; that’s what they’re saying, you’re allowed to murder and kidnap my two year-old daughter in the name of resistance; and none of the presidents of universities all around the country are willing to take a stand”.
To watch this impassioned denunciation, click here.
We should celebrate these courageous souls, and thank them for taking such a stand for truth, civilization and the Jewish people.

The decline in who occupied the Oval Office began with Bill Clinton. However, Clinton accomplished some positive things once he joined with Gingrich to embrace some of Newt's common sense policies. Lousy Oval Office occupation, escalated with Obama and laid the foundation for Biden's election. There are those who will add Trump and, like Clinton, Trump's election besmirched the Oval Office. However, liked Clinton, Trump proved he was able to accomplish many things that were needed.
Recently, I posted an Op Ed about a liberal billionaire who switched his loyalty to Trump based on his accomplishments.
Even Truman had his questionable Oval Office moments but he was a fine president etc..

Extraordinarily accurate analysis from a foreign country. God help the USA. Some people have the vocabulary to sum up things in a way that you can quickly understand them. This quote came from the Czech Republic. Someone over there has it figured out. It was translated into English from an article in a Prague newspaper.
"The danger to America is not Joe Biden, but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the Presidency. It will be far easier to limit and undo the follies of a Biden presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to a depraved electorate willing to have such a man for their president. The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Mr. Biden, who is a mere symptom of what ails America. Blaming the prince of the fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince. The Republic can survive a Biden, who is, after all, merely a fool. It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools, such as those who made him their president."
