So Iranian proxies in Yemen are firing missiles at international shipping on the Red Sea/Suez Canal route. The brilliant minds at Code Pink call this enforcing international law by blockading Israel. The US and UK call it reason to retaliate.

Various minor attacks by various minor Iranian proxies are occurring in Lebanon, Iraq, Jordan and Syria.

Iraq and Pakistan are launching attacks across their common border.

And of course Israel is still prosecuting its war on Hamas, who isn’t getting the usual benefit from hiding behind human shields. This has enraged Hamas partisans to the point where they are blocking entry to a hospital in New York.

A group calling itself “Feds for Peace” called off a walkout from their jobs due to snow. The courage of their convictions has previously not extended beyond anonymous “public letters”. Not sure they are up to a Patco moment.

So, are you saying these protests are in effectual and sometimes even silly? Ha.

I don’t know how long the Israeli bombing will go on, and I am supporting them in grinding Hamas into the ground. I just don’t know how long that takes.

That should have read “Iran and Pakistan”

I guess I would say that there seems to be a good chance Iran will run out of missiles before they run out of enemies. Although this doesn’t seem to prevent them from picking fights.

I would also say that there’s an anti-colonialist sucker born every minute, and that asking someone to turn the other cheek after their daughter was raped and their grandmother was murdered is a pretty hard sell.
