šµšø š®š± š®š· Waiting for war in Haifa | Gidon Ben-Zvi
š¤ Gidon Ben-Zvi contributes to The Algemeiner, The Times of Israel, The Jerusalem Post, CiF Watch and blogs at Jerusalem State of Mind.
š¶ļø "Israelis sitting in front of their television screens canāt help but notice that the Home Front Commandās list of areas where red alert alarms are going off is increasing daily. And with Hezbollahās theater of operations expanding, Israel is effectively shrinking. As a result, residents of HaifaāIsraelās third largest city, with a population of close to 300,000ābelieve that itās only a matter of time before they are ordered to evacuate their homes."
š¶ļø "Haifa is now next in line to be attacked by Hezbollah. It lives a life in limbo. We continue to work. Our children go to school. But the red alerts are multiplying. My cousin in the northern coastal city of Nahariyaāabout a 30-minute drive from Haifaānow regularly hears bombs overhead, forcing her and her family to run to their homeās safe room. My wife and her workplace colleagues in Acreā25 minutes by car from where we liveāare constantly hearing sirens. Virtually every afternoon, my kids come home from school with updates about another classmate whose father has been called up for a second tour of reserve duty, this time in the north."
š¶ļø "We have entered a period of threat and waiting. What the people of the north are experiencing today is not unlike the hamtanah the āWaiting Periodā before the 1967 Six-Day War. During the three weeks of the hamtanah, Arab nations were poised to annihilate Israel. Jerusalem mobilized the IDF reserves. In this tension-filled time, Israeli morale plummeted, catalyzing a political crisis that led to the formation of Israelās first unity government."
š¶ļø "Based on Hezbollahās modus operandi, anything short of a rapid reestablishment of the preemption doctrine could well lead to Israel having to abandon the Galilee and other parts of the north. At this rate, people will soon be talking about a Kfar Saba envelope in addition to the one around Gaza. It would be a damned shame to have to leave it all behind."
China is now closing mosques and converting them into barns for raising chickens as a way to fight radicalism. China officially considers Islam a āmental illness.ā Do you like this idea?

šŗšøā”- Matthew Lanske, a 21-year-old White man, was shot three times by Black teenagers during a āTeen Takeover,ā when Black teens attempted to rob Lanske and his friend at gunpoint, he tried to wrestle the gun away and was shot three times in the process, and his friend was killed.
The story, somehow, gets worse. Lanske was then able to walk nearly two blocks while bleeding out and attempted to seek refuge at a 7/11 where the Indian workers would not allow him to come inside. Lanske proceeded to text 911 and his girlfriend and then passed out due to blood loss. While Lanske was unconscious, the prowling Black teens returned and began to film his unconscious body. Two Seattle Police officers arrived and kept him alive until paramedics came. He was rushed into emergency surgery, placed on life support in the Trauma ICU, and then underwent another major operation to reconnect his intestines, which was successful.
Lanske has woken up and is responding in the hospital. His ...
