The Washington Post has a story today about the network of tunnels dug beneath Gaza by Hamas fighters. The entire network is estimated to stretch over 300 miles despite the Gaza strip being on 25 miles long. It’s where Hamas fighters have been hiding out since the start of Israel’s military response to the 10/7 attack. But the IDF has no intention of entering the tunnels which are likely booby-trapped. Israeli military protocol generally prohibits regular ground troops from entering tunnels, as the chances of being killed or captured is too high. Israelis have seen their soldiers grabbed and dragged into tunnels, so the likely strategy will be to attempt

Sometimes it takes a punch to the gut or a slap in the face.
For many “civilized” people the instinct is to deescalate, to appease an adversary, based on the belief that civilized people do their best to avoid fights. It’s a tactic that is smart when dealing with other civilized people. Generally speaking, fighting is a losing proposition, and if you can resolve a dispute by talking and compromise the chances that the costs of compromise will be lower than the costs of fighting are high.
But this instinct is wrong, even stupid when dealing with uncivilized people. Their goals and attitudes are fundamentally different and they see appeasement

The unambiguous loser of the Iran vs Israel war is Joe Biden's Middle East policy. Any plausible continuation requires a completely different set of people, policies and approach. The former road now seems fundamentally flawed. It's not a question of waiting for things to blow over and keep going because the errors were more than tactical. The whole world view on which it was premised has gone out of date. Are we entering a period of institutional, social and technological discontinuity where the old progressive saws no longer apply? “This may be the most dangerous time the world has seen in decades,” JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon said in a statement

For years, Hunter Biden has been protected by the FBI and probably the CIA and all the other three-letter agencies devoted to national security and spying. His illegal behavior – bribe-taking and money laundering operations – has been made possible by connections to his crooked dad, “The Big Guy,” Joe Biden. But I predict Hunter will slither out of his legal problems with the help of the swamp. But not for the reason you think. This prediction prompts a couple of big questions: Wut? Why? How? And that's where my theory gets interesting.

Yesterday Fox News reported that Orsted, a global energy company based in Denmark, had recently announced the immediate end to the development of not one but two planned wind depots off the coast of New Jersey. (As you can imagine I was thrilled—two less multi-billion dollar corporate projects, ones in which I would never willingly invest, for me to sponsor? This is a net positive.)
Now according to the article, these two projects, named Ocean Wind 1 and Ocean Wind 2, had long been in the making; the lease for OW1 had been granted by Barack Obama’s bureaucrats back in 2009, and finally received the construction go-ahead from Joe Biden’s troupe

Americans justly love cars, for necessity, for pleasure, and everything in between. In all we drive more than three trillion miles per year, in 290 million registered cars, of which some 287 million are internal combustion engines. Today’s cars are without doubt among the most highly evolved, reliable, innovative and efficient forms of production ever witnessed. Exactly the prime target you would expect from the Biden administration.
The EPA has announced planned emission regulations that will end the U.S. automotive industry as we know it, while simultaneously forcing Americans into EV cars they manifestly do not want. The proposed regulations are being called “the single most important regulatory initiative

The Democratic Party is undergoing a civil war over Gaza and Israel. Traditional Democrats like Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer are pro-Israel. Possibly this has something to do with the fact that American Jews contribute a large portion–last time I saw the numbers, more than half–of all campaign funds for Democratic candidates. To be fair, however, it may also reflect basic human decency.
But the newer generation of Democrats, represented by the Squad, is not impressed. They hate Israel and don’t much like Jews. And the Squad speaks for lots of Democrats: Joe Biden’s approval ratings have fallen among Democrats, apparently because many object to the pro-Israel stance

Happy Thursday, dear Kruiser Morning Briefing friends. (Snip) It's difficult to write about terrorist organizations like Hamas without using language that many would say is unnecessary hyperbole. I am of the opinion, however, that there really aren't enough bad things that can be said about Hamas. Even my extensive cache of epithets might run dry if I let loose on the savages.
Those of us who harshly criticize Islamic terrorist groups are reflexively called "Islamophobic" by leftists who inhabit an alt-reality where suicide bombers are simply misunderstood and the people they blow up probably had it coming to them.

Congratulations, New York Times! Bravo! It has taken 90 years, but you may have finally outdone your support for Joseph Stalin and his Ukrainian genocide. Maybe this coverage will get you another Pulitzer Prize you'll never give back. The Columbia Journalism Review may have to create a new award for "Best Support of 21st Century Genocide." The Politi"fact" frauds in Florida will be forced to find a whole new way to offer "context" for this one. And anti-Semites, from those still hiding in caves to Qatar's terrorist financiers to the nation's Ivy League faculty lounge nests of Jew haters, will applaud your efforts.

The big question was always how Joe Biden, aka the Big Guy, was getting paid Joe Biden and his media allies have made a point of this in defending him. They’ll concede that Hunter and even James, Joe’s brother, were involved in some shady stuff. They’ll concede that Joe Biden lent his influence by showing up to meetings and joining in on calls, but they’ll claim that he never got any money. Now Rep. James Comer and the House Oversight Committee are find out how Joe allegedly got paid.
And the answer is ‘loan repayments.’
Earlier in October, House Oversight turned up a “loan repayment” tied to

The most important thing to know is that London is 15% Muslim. That’s far from a majority, but Muslims need a lot of what the Nazis used to call “Lebensraum”—that is, territory where they dominate the local population. Flexing their muscles, they act as if 15% is a majority and the general population, made ignorant by leftism and scared by the threat of jihad, accepts its status as a minority. If you understand these principles, you will appreciate the different approaches the London police have to things that call for Jewish genocide (that’s fine) and things that offend Muslim sensibilities (that’s bad, very, very bad).

“The only way we can solve the climate crisis is to continue our long-standing cooperation with China,” proclaimed Gavin Newsom during his trip to China. For the California governor, collaboration with one of the world’s leading polluters, a one-party Stalinist police state, is the “only way” to solve a “crisis” that is an existential problem.
Gov. Newsom allegedly raised human-rights issues but failed to call for China to release David Lin, a California pastor imprisoned in China since 2006. The governor is essentially uncritical of the Communist regime, and in that regard is hardly alone.
