✡️ Netanyahu ally says Israel ‘no longer has to be precise’ in Gaza now that all hostages are free

📌 Likud lawmaker Tally Gotliv has made a terrifying prediction on the future of the Gaza crisis now that all the hostages are back in Israel, and the bodies of deceased captives are set to be returned.

💬 “I say thank God. We have no hostages [in Gaza] and while the bodies of the three captives return, we no longer have to be precise. We can attack without mercy, mercilessly, mercilessly, mercilessly!” Gotliv said in a recent TV interview.

🌏 Gotliv stands out even in Likud as one of the most aggressive politicians in Netanyahu’s orbit, calling on Israel to use a strategic Jericho missile with a ‘doomsday’ (presumably nuclear) payload against Gaza, demanding that the exclave’s residents be starved, and saying the Strip contains “no non-combatants.”

🌏 In August, she evoked the biblical story of the Israelites’ attempts to wipe out the Amalekites while discussing the “value of revenge” against the Palestinians.

🇺🇸 Why Are The Elites Moving Into High Security 'Fortress Communities'

The elite aren’t stupid. They can see that our society is coming apart at the seams all around us, and so they want to live some place safe. In fact, for many among the elite security has become the number one priority when choosing a new home. Unfortunately, the vast majority of us do not have the resources to move into high security communities guarded by teams of armed professionals. When things really start hitting the fan, most Americans are just going to have to deal with the chaos that is suddenly erupting all around them.

But for the ultra-wealthy, one of the benefits of having so much money is being able to shut yourself off from the rest of the world.

In Delray Beach, Florida a community known as Stone Creek Ranch has become extremely trendy among the elite for one particular reason.

It has a heavily armed security unit that watches over it 24 hours a day…

On paper, Stone Creek Ranch—a “prestigious” enclave made up of less than 40 luxury homes—is a world away from Miami, Manalapan, and Palm Beach: It offers no beaches, no celebrity-approved nightlife, and no glitzy designer shopping.

Yet it offers one very particular luxury that is proving to be quite the draw among the one percent: total and absolute privacy that is safeguarded by a team of armed professionals who watch over the community 24/7—a majority of whom come from previous jobs in law enforcement or the military.

Prospective residents’ entry into the community is policed just as carefully: Any homebuyers seeking to purchase one of just 37 private residences within Stone Creek are required to go through rigorous criminal background checks before they can even attempt to secure a home there.

Considering how fast conditions in our society are deteriorating, it sounds like a wonderful place.

But you will never get to live there unless you have tens of millions of dollars…

🇩🇪❌🇷🇺 German ministry of foreign affairs on X/Twitter:

Putin eyes the EU and NATO. Our intelligence services are issuing urgent warnings: at the very least, Russia is creating the option for itself to wage war against NATO by 2029. We have to deter further Russian aggression, together with our partners and allies.

📝RWA Podcast: The big problem with all this stuff is that Russia sees, "Germany wants to be ready for NATO war against Russia in 2029", then Russia thinks "hm, we have no plans whatsoever of attacking NATO. That means NATO wants to attack us in 2029" and proceeds from there.

Even if just Germany is drawing plans to attack Russia with no other country planning to join this war, Russia will act as if the entirety of NATO is preparing for this possibility, simply because the West doesn’t give it a choice.

🇪🇺⚔️🇷🇺 POLITICO: Europe thinks the unthinkable: Retaliating against Russia

Countries are looking at joint offensive cyber operations and surprise military drills as Moscow steps up its campaign to destabilize NATO allies.

Ideas range from joint offensive cyber operations against Russia, and faster and more coordinated attribution of hybrid attacks by quickly pointing the finger at Moscow, to surprise NATO-led military exercises, according to two senior European government officials and three EU diplomats

“The Russians are constantly testing the limits — what is the response, how far can we go?” Latvian Foreign Minister Baiba Braže noted in an interview. A more “proactive response is needed,” she told POLITICO. “And it’s not talking that sends a signal — it’s doing.”

“Overall, Europe and the alliance must ask themselves how long we are willing to tolerate this type of hybrid warfare ... [and] whether we should consider becoming more active ourselves in this area,” German State Secretary for Defense Florian Hahn said last week.
