The News on the Israeli Street
“Liberals” in the world rejoice! . . .
Iranian FM Abdulhian announced today that Iran will resume nuclear weapons talks in Vienna next week much to the joy of President Biden, and all of the other members of the P5+1.
Iran has taken its uranium enrichment program to unprecedented levels, spent more years developing its ballistic nuclear missile delivery program, and still the “West” doesn’t get it.
They just can’t understand that Iran is on the brink of having the capacity of wiping Israel off the map (despite what former Mossad head Cohen said the other day).
Or maybe they do understand.
And just don’t care that the world’s only Jewish nation is in the crosshairs.
By the way, and not coincidentally, Iran also announced this morning the resumption of exports to Saudi Arabia.

Wrap Your Brain Around This Absurd Sequence Of Events Today
It is now 5 pm in the afternoon, Israel time.
At “around” 12 pm noon, a missile was fired out of Gaza toward southern Israel. No incoming missile alarm sounded.
No one seems to know what the missile targeted or where it hit.
At 3 pm, incoming missile sirens blared along the border. The missile sirens were apparently for the 12 pm noon missile.
Since no missile was fired at 3 pm, the missile siren was declared a “false alarm.”
Shortly thereafter, it was reported that the 12 pm noon missile actually landed in Gaza. Whether it did or not, we may never know.
Pick your own word to describe the above sequence: flabbergasting, ridiculous, or just plain absurd.
Whatever you choose, you get an idea of the surreal life of Israelis living along the Gaza border who must rely on themselves for information about what is going on.
By the way . . .
After all of this, Hamas terrorists fired mortars at Israeli bulldozers working along the border. No warnings were sounded, and the IDF issued no statement. The only reason we know about the mortars is because they were seen and the explosions were heard by local residents.
A student from Malawi, who had worked with an Israeli health volunteer in his country battling AIDS, came up to us as we walked down the street in the UC-Davis Picnic Day Parade and wanted to carry the Israeli flag.
