New report by @ISGAP1: Qatar ,the main funder of Hamas, is also the leading funder of American universities
This explains why @Harvard, @MIT, @Penn and many other top US universities have turned into Hamas mouthpieces.
Or, this could be completely BS. I have no clue. We can't trust any media source or Universities to have integrity.

It was brought up in those congressional hearings the other day.

He's twisting the words here.
US colleges and Universities spend $720 billion annually.
99% of that comes from tuition, loans, grants, gifts, and endowment income.
Maybe 1% comes from outside giving from foreign governments. Maybe Qatar leads the pack in this (I have no idea). But I can tell you it's not material to their operations.
For instance Harvard basically has so much money that they don't know what to do with it. They have a 50 year plan to buy up several city blocks along the river in Cambridge and continue expanding their physical footprint. But they can't even say what for. And even after taking this into account they have tens of billions left over that they don't know how to spend.
So to infer that foreign governments can throw around some cash and buy off our flagship universities is laughable

And while they may look disgusting maggots in a wound are actually a good thing cuz they will only eat dead flesh preventing infection spread

They don't have to "buy off" the university.

This operation seems to be causing more upheaval in the US and Europe than in the Mideast.
That’s because the US and Europe are where the refugees will be going. Other Middle East countries are smart enough to not take any Palestinians.

Excerpts of a letter Ben Zussman left for his family and friends in the event that he died in battle. Ben was killed in action last week.
“If you're reading this, something must have happened to me…I'm grateful for the privilege of protecting our beautiful country and the people of Israel.
If something happens to me, I don't allow you to sink into sadness. I had the privilege of fulfilling my destiny and you can be sure that I am looking down on you with a huge smile.
If God forbid you sit shiva, make it a week full of friends, family and fun. Bring food, meat, beers, sweets, tea and, of course, my mother's cookies. Joke around and tell stories. I’ll be jealous of you all! I would have liked to join.
If God forbid, I fall into the hands of the enemy, I absolutely do not grant permission to negotiate a deal to release me. I do not allow you to endanger a single soldier for me. I do not allow any terrorist to be released for me. Do not betray me.
I left my house without being called to join the reserves. I am full of pride and a sense of purpose. I have always said that if I must die, I want it to be for the defense of others and for my country.”

I would expect that far less personnel weapons will be found in Gaza than expected. As in Kuwait during the first war, civilians will have buried firearms for future use. A very active demining program will pick up many of these weapons. Note the sandy soil, its very easy to bury stuff for future use

I don’t think Quatar actually funds Hamas or Universities but its citizens do both big time. They like the UAE like to position themselves as free neutral states and brokers of peace deals

When are they flooding the tunnels. We used to do that to get rid of moles and armadillos and other vermin

It seems as though many people defending Palestinians remember the events of 9/11....when the Palestinians were celebrating in the streets (firing guns and burning American Flags) when the Twin Towers fell, killing thousands of Americans. They said, "Killing of Americans is Osama Bin Laden's GIFT TO THE PALESTINIANS". Looks to me like Israel is speaking softly and carrying a big stick.

An Incident has reportedly occurred on a Commercial Shipping Vessel within the Bab al-Mandab Strait off the Coast of Yemen with a Large Fire said to current be Burning on the Ship following some kind of Attack, likely by the Houthi Terrorist Group; the Crew aboard the Ship is claimed to be Safe and Naval Vessels are Responding to the Distress Call.
At this point, I'm wondering how bad they are going to push things until The Navy takes action to make a statement. So far the presence of those assets is not deterring Houthi attacks.
They are obviously trying to draw the US into the war and it's only a matter of time until they do something truly stupid.
