This is an informative thread. I don't know a lot about Israel's politics.

Quote from: "Gaon"Netanyahu: IAF hit 'Iranian depots full of Iranian weapons' at Damascus Airport; Assad regime accuses US of helping Israel 'get away' with attacks



In a rare acknowledgement, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday confirmed that Israel conducted an airstrike against Iranian targets in Syria over the weekend, which he said destroyed a number of weapons caches in the Damascus airport.



"The Israel Defense Forces has attacked hundreds of Iranian and Hezbollah targets. Just in the past 36 hours, the air force attacked Iranian depots full of Iranian weapons in the Damascus International Airport," Netanyahu said, speaking at the weekly cabinet meeting in his Jerusalem office, in a rare acknowledgement of such a raid.



These last attacks underline that we are more determined than ever to act against Iran in Syria, precisely as we have promised," Netanyahu added.



The prime minister appeared to be referring to an attack on the airport on Friday night in which the Syrian military said that "Israeli warplanes coming from the direction of the Galilee fired several missiles toward the vicinity of Damascus."



Israel typically refrains from commenting on individual airstrikes in Syria, but does generally acknowledge that it carries out raids against Iranian- and Hezbollah-linked targets in the country.



During the meeting Sunday, the cabinet bade farewell to outgoing IDF chief Lt. Gen. Gadi Eisenkot.



The prime minister praised the general for blocking Iran's attempts to establish a permanent military presence in Syria.



"We have operated — to impressive success — to block Iran's military entrenchment in Syria," Netanyahu said.



"We acted against the manufacturing of precision weapons in Lebanon, we acted to destroy Hezbollah's tunnel weapons in Lebanon with Operation Northern Shield, we acted against Hamas's tunnels on the Gaza border, we have prevented hundreds of lone-wolf terror acts in Judea and Samaria, and we have carried out many more operations, both openly and hidden from view," the prime minister said.



Netanyahu said under Eisenkot's command, the IDF made "great achievements," but added that there "was much more work to be done, which we will do."



Eisenkot is due to end his four-year tenure as IDF chief on Tuesday, when he will be replaced by Maj. Gen. Aviv Kochavi.



The official news agency SANA reported that Syrian air defense batteries opened fire on "hostile Israel missiles" and intercepted "most" of them, a common claim of the Syrian military, which many defense analysts believe to be false or overstated.



The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights monitor said that "two areas hosting military positions of Iranian forces and the Lebanese Hezbollah movement have been targeted."



The sites were near the airport and around the Kisweh area south of Damascus, the observatory said.

Not much of a revelation.

No matter how much China persecutes Canadian citizens in China, Trudeau cannot interfere with the judicial process like Beijing can.

QuoteCanada's disconnected elites refuse to recognize: Canada's posturing doesn't resonate on the world stage. B.C. Premier John Horgan and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau insist that taxpayers pay ever-increasing carbon taxes to reduce emissions, while Canada produces just 1.6% of global emissions. The prime minister acknowledges an obvious fact:



"Even if Canada stopped everything tomorrow, and the other countries didn't have any solutions, it wouldn't make a big difference," Trudeau said on a Quebec talk show last October.


All of the sacrifices Trudeau and some premiers are forcing on the people who elected them are purely for show. They will not stop the climate from changing. It's refreshing to see some honesty from Trudeau for a change.

Quote from: "@realAzhyaAryola"She could turn out to be one of two things:



1. An empty soul who could let go of her ties to her family and begin to live a life of immorality and reckless abandon and end up as just another statistic who we will never hear from again.

2. Be an inspiration to all, both women and men, who are subjects of a culture that is restrained from expressing themselves and become a beacon of hope to them thus becoming a figure of influence.



 At this point, I'm not sure which one she is yet because we know little of her so far.

The choices yes. However If this vulture & Co keeps its claws in her, there is a 3rd possibility ... a tool for the Lib party



Here she is arriving in the land of human hockey pucks!

That's my idea of how a yard should look too.

Quote from: "Gaon"I was in the IDF for three years. I was an infantryman. I saw combat in the Second Intifada. And I was in the Battle of Jenin. Thankfully I wasn't injured. But, it's something I will never forget.



Has anyone else served in the military. I think Odinson might have. If you have, please tell us about it.

The Battle of Jenin was particularly bloody.

Quote from: "Odinson"They could also build a shallow canal right next to the wall so that tunnels would get flooded..

How much would that cost?


I´m using the Panama canal cost as reference..







562 billion dollars to build a similar canal for 3145 kilometres.

Is that all.

More Americans are blaming Trump rather than the Democratic congress for the shutdown, so I do not see congress making any deal with the president.

Quote from: "Bricktop"Worse, it is NOT justifiable, except in the mind of a bonehead Canadian academic female who thinks everybody is quite capable of getting on with everybody else, and if you don't it's the white MAN'S fault, anyway.

I get it that it's voluntary. But, as others have said, our prime minister will make it legal in Canada.

If this horde of zombies get through, the flood will overwhelm southern USA.

They must block it.

Quote from: "Bricktop"I suspect it is somewhat MORE significant than France, given that all but one (Egypt) of the countries surrounding it want to wipe it out.

And the people who want to wipe out France are inside it's borders.

Quote from: "Thiel"I don't have two wage scales for my employees; one for men and a lower one for women. None of my customers and suppliers pay men more than women either.



My female employees do take more unpaid time off though.

Hello Thiel, It's nice to see you again..

I usually go to my sister's in Winnipeg on December 24. My nephews and their families all gather there too.
