So where was he going? There is no such place as "Palestine" so chances are he was going to some place with significant numbers of terrorists. Considering his public rhetoric and pro-terrorist sympathies they were wise to detain him. Who knows who he was planning to meet and what kind of aid he intended to provide.

The region was renamed Syria-Palestina by the Roman Empire after the Jews were expelled from Israel. Under Ottoman rule the Palestine region within the empire was divided into the five sanjaks (provincial districts, also called liwa in Arabic) of Safad, Nablus, Jerusalem, Lajjun and Gaza. This state of affairs lasted until the end of World War I when the area came under British and French administration.

Historically speaking, you are incorrect.

I'm not speaking historically. I'm talking about 2026: today there is no such place.

Historically, there are lots of places that no longer exist: Yugoslavia, the Soviet Union, & East Germany are some modern examples.

I am good with that. Never expect to agree with someone on everything.

I thought you wanted to bust on each other...

Welcome to World War III. The War is currently: OPEN. War Hours: Friday-Tuesday 5pm to 7am, All Holidays.

Iran Begins 'Retaliation' Attack On Gulf After Overnight US Launched 3rd Round Of Strikes, Following IRGC Hit On Cargo Ship

"Update 10:40pm ET.
Somewhat predictably, as has been the pattern of this war - Iran is in the very early morning hours (local) launching retaliatory strikes on Arab Gulf nations, or as the Iranians say against US assets and bases in the Gulf. Per state media:

Quote:

---

IRAN LAUNCHES SERIES OF STRIKES AGAINST US TARGETS: PRESS TV

---

Last week Kuwait and Bahrain were favored targets, but there are signs that Iran - now with reports of Tehran having been hit tonight (CBS) - could begin widening its attacks to include the UAE, or even potentially the Saudis (though there have yet to be signs of this).

What's clear is that things are back to square one - with the MoU agreement clearly effectively dead, unless diplomacy gets into overdrive and both sides show some measure of restraint. But restraint is not evident currently, only a widening up the escalation ladder.

Quote:

---

Iran has fired 12 Ballisitc Missiles towards Muwaffaq Salti Airbase in Jordan

Reports of 3 impacts.

The reason they aimed there could be for the F-35s parked there. We shall see. I was expecting them to aim for Bahrain or Kuwait. pic.twitter.com/zfYEJmTW3a

To recount from where we started Saturday morning, we wrote...

As for the big picture of where things stand, University of Chicago political scientist Robert Pape, who authors "The Escalation Trap," has pointed out that that the millions of Iranians who took to the streets last week to attend the late Ayatollah's funeral demonstrate growing nationalist resolve. He explained that this only makes further escalation more likely later this summer, as public sentiment gets hardened against the US.

"The balance of military capabilities did not change over the weekend," Pape said. "The balance of political will shifted."

Referencing the now unraveling ceasefire and negotiations process, Pape is predicting: "The pause appears to be another stage in the escalation process rather than the beginning of de-escalation." "

140:1

- UF

>>
The U.S. military's Central Command said it hit some 140 targets in Sunday's strikes, far more than in the two previous rounds of attacks, and went after missile and drone launch sites, ammunition dumps, communication equipment and other sites. It said the attacks would weaken Iran's ability to threaten civilian shipping.


"Iran made a poor choice. Now they pay," U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth wrote online.

It's been called Gaza thousands of years, even mentioned in the Old Testament. It's not called Palestine because no such place exists today. You are the one promoting the fiction of terrorists and other antisemites.

RIP Lindsey. Israel lost a strong supporter. I believe he was a fellow Southern Baptist.
