At first it was believed that merely moving Islamic radicals to the West would "fix" them. Experience showed this was not enough. Techniques from the study of punishment of crime and of prison management including disengagement and behavioral change therapies were attempted, with little success. Radical Islam is a gang culture.

The first pass was "disengagement" - severing association with the parent gang. For this to work, Islamic radicals must be scattered or they will reconnect. Moving millions from Gaza to Egypt will not achieve disengagement.

Deradicalization is much harder to achieve than disengagement, because it involves recanting beliefs through intense long term social engineering. However if the beliefs are actually part of Islamic faith the recantation goal becomes impossible. With mosques everywhere in Egypt this may be unachievable.

Gaza is a classic ancient siege involving the encirclement of a target area to cut off supplies, communication, and movement, aiming to weaken or force the surrender of those inside through starvation, deprivation, demoralization as a prelude to clearing operations.

The question is who will take the refugees. Egypt has refused. Jordan, home to over 2 million Palestinian refugees, has rejected accepting any more. Note how Jordan has been very quiet since the collapse & take-over of Syria last December. Most Arab and Muslim-majority countries, including Qatar, Turkey, Algeria, Kuwait, and Malaysia, have refused. This leaves the West.

The problem with sending the refugees to Egypt is they will hook up with the Muslim Brotherhood and topple Abdel Fattah el-Sisi (President of Egypt). Egypt could turn into "Hamas on steroids" and require a thermonuclear package to eliminate. Egypt’s crackdown on Sinai insurgents (2014–2016) and destruction of Gaza-Sinai tunnels reflect this concern.

The Egyptians fear the Palestinians so much they built a "Kong Wall" on the border with Gaza. The Muslim world figures the only safe place to store Hamas is in Israel, the only army on the planet willing & capable to deal with them.

How far will it go in Gaza? One of the few documented accounts of human desperation were the attempts by German civilians and SS, including Martin Bormann to break out of Berlin over the Weidendammer Bridge. Thousands trampled over the dead in panic. The remaining tanks, half-tracks, motely units mixed with civilians repeatedly surged over the Weidendammer into Soviet machine guns, wrecking the dying underfoot, the blazing vehicles in the last spasm of madness. Gaza has the potential to be a "medieval" Weidendammer bloodbath.

Judging by the comments, apparently many Germans have never heard of this tragedy.


Despite 18 months of carpet bombing, fierce fire fights, artillery barrages, drone & missile strikes the Hamas still retain power in that tiny strip of contested land...

Hamas has executed six Palestinians in Gaza and shot 13 others in the legs for alleged looting ... said it would carry out more executions against “every criminal we can reach in the next two days.” CNN appears to be the only western media source reporting on this "recent" event while the near same event was reported from multiple sources back in March & January.
Google interprets "six Palestinians" as six hostages.


"Make America Safe Again". Pelosi jumps on Trump plan to rebuild Alcatraz, quotes CNN's Kaitlan Collins crying about costs.


What price when it comes to locking up worst criminals when there are profits to be made, eh Nancy? Afterall, how much $$$$ did you waste on the Russia collusion hoax, the multiple impeachments and a laundry list of other crap? This will never happen as the infrastructure cost at Calif prices would exceed the Defense budget.



L(MAO): American in China: "China is a high trust society unlike America"

It's all over, except for the shouting. Tom Cotton's pessimistic view of US competition with China.

The China Threat Is Worse Than You Can Imagine

For a country to survive 250 years is no mean feat in the face of history. To survive over 3,000 years is something only a few cultures have ever achieved. It has become fashionable to believe that nothing is settled by force. But the map of the world was drawn, almost without exception, by force of arms. Just ask the Tibetans or the Kurds.

"Violence, naked force, has settled more issues in history than has any other factor, and the contrary opinion is wishful thinking at its worst. Breeds that forget this basic truth have always paid for it with their lives and their freedoms."

In case you don't know, she sailed from New York on April 26, suffered an engine room explosion on April 28. The ship was just inspected by the US Coast Guard on 16 April 2025 in the Port of Charleston, with no issues found.

Sometimes shit just happens and sometimes sabotage happens.


Trump slaps 100% TARIFF on ALL movies made outside the US. WTF? How is this a national security threat? Hollywood has been dying for past 10 years because they produce too much crap. The woke stigma sure as hell didn't help. Perhaps foreign produced movies have better propaganda than Hollywood.



Maybe Jon Voight, Sylvester Stallone, and Mel Gibson will sort this all out. This could be a decent action movie.

LOL. Ann Telnaes just won a Pulitzer Prize for her work at The Washington Post - which she resigned from after they refused to run this cartoon.
