Maddening Sunday Morning With CNN News

 Nadene Goldfoot                                               

I started off the morning listing to a discussion about Trump's Tariff program and how he should have done what he did with them.  It turned into a debate between two of those at the table which developed into a shouting match.  The others got a big kick out of it.  One thing, we as the viewer,  can't understand one word said in a shouting match, so I had nothing to laugh at.  I'd say that this half hour was a comedy of errors.                                   

Fareed Zakaria is someone I look forward to listening to.  Usually I'm in disagreement with him but not this time.  He was discussing the Armada of ships waiting, waiting and what was Trump deciding to do with them.Politics.  Trump warns Iran an ‘armada’ is heading its way and to agree a nuclear deal, or else.                    

             Iranians Rebelling in a Revolution

He went through a list of reasons why others told Trump not to attack.  His guest verified these facts telling more and who and why Trump shouldn't attack;  too  much wasted money, Arab countries that didn't want it to take place like Saudi Arabia and UAE, and then Fareed, still unsatisfied, brought in by the discussion a far away person with a long long surname, I take to be an Iranian newsperson, who gave more particulars on the discussion. 

TEHRAN, IRAN - JANUARY 8: Fires are lit as protesters rally on January 8, 2026 in Tehran, Iran. Demonstrations have been ongoing since December, triggered by soaring inflation and the collapse of the rial, and have expanded into broader demands for political change.

 NOT ONE PERSON MENTIONED THE IRANIAN DISSONANTS WHO ARE IN THE REVOLUTION AND HAVE DIED ALREADY FOR THE CAUSE WHICH TO MY KNOWLEDGE HAVE BEEN COUNTED NOW FAR MORE THEN THE ORIGINAL 40,000, RISING TO 80,000 AND POSSIBLY BY NOW 120,000 DEATHS.                                    

Has Fareed forgotten that Trump helped to start all this by claiming that IF THE AYATOLLAH'S GOVERNMENT STARTING KILLING THEM, HE WOULD COME TO HELP?  Trump has been encouraging unrest in Iran and recently said, "HELP IS ON ITS WAY," as the death toll reportedly surpassed 2,000.  Now it could be 120,000.  

Then the ships sat in the water like now, only they did nothing but sit.  Thus more and more were killed.  The killers even went into hospitals and killed those there who had been in the streets demonstrating by being a part of the crowd and were injured. 

    These demonstrators are for Jerusalem Day in Samaria

I remember when Israel was recently faced with demonstrators in the streets.  They demonstrated.  Period.  

The Ayatollah of Iran had their Revolutionary Guards-a deadly group, shoot the demonstrators to kill.  They did it, but I hear that since then, it has bothered them to kill their own family members in the streets and have decided to go over to the demonstrators side.  Those still demonstrating see this time as I do, a window of opportunity with the Crown Prince directing them from the USA successfully, knowing they will probably be killed but for a good reason;  to free their beloved country from this madness.                       

Mahyar Tousi is a political YouTuber running the UK’s most watched online news show. Born in Iran, he came to this country as a child following his mother’s escape from the Iranian regime that resulted in her becoming a political refugee in Britain. I watch it too, on youtube.  

    Revolution's flag showing the old flag with lion in the middle.  

I know that from this that I have viewed on tousi.tv; watching what our major stations dare not enter to film, will continue and more will be killed.  The USA will never know the pain they are under nor have been under for the past 40 plus years in the first place and what they are enduring now.  Of all the impulsive acts lately of Trump;  buying Greenland, taking  over Venezuela, buying Canada, buying Denmark, HELPING THE IRANIAN YOUTH WHO ARE REBELLING AND HAVING A REVOLUTION IN THEIR COUNTRY TO TAKE IT BACK FROM THE AYATOLLAH'S WAYS was the only sane idea he has had and hasn't fulfilled.                                   

                      Harry S. Truman in 1946

Trump,  when it was decided to back Israel to become a state in 1948, President Truman went against his staff of nay-sayers, telling him all sorts of reasons why he shouldn't, but he did!  He knew only his partner in his haberdashery store was a Jewish man, and they had a great rapport.  That is the greatest gift that Truman could give to the USA as far as I and others are concerned.  Because of Truman, Israel was born. 

          Americans getting news;  opinions come from cell phones 

There are probably 80% of the people of the USA that think differently and wish it hadn't happened, but they do not understand.  I say that things happen for a reason, and someday, they or their descendants will understand.  It was for a good reason;  saving lives.  I could take on several articles full of reasons why and the the good this brought out that benefited the USA, oh in so many ways.  Maybe it will be like that, too for Iran.  Good things will happen in the world if Iran has a Democratic government.                          

I had to turn off the TV at 7:30am, so if they suddenly thought of the people, I missed it.  I hope they ended on a good note.  

Lapid Visited a Friendly Turkey Who Accommodated Him, a Change in Attitude

 Nadene Goldfoot                                    

                     Recep Tayyip Erdogan, President of Turkey b: 26 February, 1954;  current president of Turkey since 2014;  In response to the 2014 Israel–Gaza conflict, Erdoğan accused Israel of conducting "state terrorism" and a "genocide attempt" against the Palestinians. He also stated that "If Israel continues with this attitude, it will definitely be tried at international courts."  Erdoğan is co-founder of United Nations Alliance of Civilizations (AOC). The initiative seeks to galvanize international action against extremism through the forging of international, intercultural and inter-religious dialogue and cooperation.

A cold war has been going on that doesn't make the news.  Israel has warned Israelis in Turkey to return  home because of Iranian terrorism.  Evidently Erdogan is now on the bandwagon and is seeing to it that terrorists are not welcome anymore in his country.  Israel recently bombed the Damascus airport where ammunition to use against Israel was coming from.  Syria has not joined Turkey in this end to terrorists.  

Russia is complaining loudly about the strike, they who are aligned with all of Israel's enemies and who are breaking every human rights rule in Ukraine.  Israel is reacting defensively, protecting its citizens.  

Evidently, Turkey is not going to allow terrorist groups such as Hamas (Islamic Resistance Movement)  anymore freedom.  They have made up with Israel. I commend the Abrahamic Accords to instigate an understanding of Israel in their midst and bring on a peace in the Middle East.                  

 The Palestinians have been producing many terrorist groups.  The fact remains that most Palestinian leaders have belonged or still belong to either the PLO (Palestinian Liberation Organization)  or Hamas.            

                                  Ismail Haniyeh

                                                            Hassan Nasrallah

 

Hamas’ Ismail Haniyeh conferred urgently with Hizballah’s/Hezbollah (Party of God) Hassan Nasrallah in Beirut on Thursday after Turkish intelligence detained a large group of Iranian agents and foiled a plot targeting Israelis visiting Istanbul, including a retired senior Israeli diplomat and his wife.     

    Their Turkish collaborators were recruited by Iran’s Revolutionary Guards agents –  all posing as tourists and students.

There are still about 2,000 Israelis living in Turkey who were advised by Israel to return but haven't.  This turn against terrorists is helping to safeguard their lives.  The Iranians have been rebuffed.   

                                               

Israel’s warm appreciation was conveyed by visiting caretaker PM Yair Lapid and signaled the recent thawing of relations between the two governments.  He had no idea he would be facing the PM position so quickly when he returned to Jerusalem.                     

Israel's Foreign Minister Yair Lapid with Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu at a joint press conference, Ankara, Turkey, June 23, 2022. - Boaz Oppenheim

Israel’s Foreign Minister Yair Lapid and his Turkish counterpart Mevlut Cavusoglu concluded a short while ago their joint press conference, ending the one-day visit of Lapid to Ankara. It was the first time in many years that an Israeli foreign minister made an official visit to the Turkish capital — a visit that highlighted the continuing rapprochement process between Ankara and Jerusalem. In March, Israeli President Isaac Herzog visited Turkey, and Cavusoglu visited Israel at the end of May.

                                                                                  

  

 Syria's Bashar al Assad, the 19th president of Syria, since 17 July 2000

Fearing that the incident portended an order by President Recep Erdogan  to crack down on all anti-Israel terrorist activity from his country, including the hosting of Hamas bases, the Palestinian group is acting to restore its ties with Iran’s Lebanese proxy, Hizballah/Hezbollah, as well as seeking reconciliation with Syria’s Bashar Assad.   Russia didn't like the Damascus airport to be bombed by Israel  as that's how they were getting weapons in for Iran to be used against Israel.                         

 Damascus is in the southern end across from Lebanon's name

They hope to recover their old bases of operation in Syria, that were lost when the Palestinians backed the losing side in Syria’s civil war.

Ebrahim Raisi, who is Sayyid Ebrahim Raisolsadati, commonly known as Ebrahim Raisi, is an Iranian hardline, Islamist, principlist politician, Muslim jurist, and the eighth and current president of Iran since 3 August 2021, having been elected to the presidency in the 2021 election.

The war in Syria presents a significant, even existential, threat to this strategic alliance by endangering one of its primary members and the chief conduit for Iranian support to Hezbollah. At the same time, Iran cannot afford to lose its most important foothold in the Levant, and Hezbollah cannot risk losing its access to critical Iranian and Syrian support. Maintaining the Axis of resistance is also a matter of great ideological importance for Iran and its commitment to exporting its Islamic revolutionary principles. For all of these reasons, Iran will go to great lengths to preserve its foothold in Syria.

The Axis of Resistance is an Iran-led alliance of state and non-state actors in the Middle East that seeks to confront Western interests in the region, namely those of the United States and Israel. Historically, this alliance has included the Assad regime in Syria and Lebanese Hezbollah. In recent years, Iran has also cultivated Iraqi Shi’a militants as the newest members of this alliance. Aside from shared regional objectives, another pillar of the axis is shared support. 

Iran provides extensive material, financial, training, and logistical assistance to its regional partners. For example, Iran has supplied Hezbollah with as much as $200 million each year. After Hezbollah’s 2006 war with Israel, Iran and Syria rearmed Hezbollah with vastly expanded and more sophisticated weaponry. Much of this support has flowed through Syria, making it the primary hub in Iran’s power projection in the Levant. 

A Britain-based watchdog said an alleged Israeli strike on Damascus airport Friday hit three arms depots connected to Iran-backed militia.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, an opposition war monitor of unclear funding, also said Saturday that the northern runway at the airport was damaged, as was the observation tower and lighting systems used for planes to navigate.

The group said that disused passenger halls at the airport were hit in the strike. It claimed that the arrival halls had been repurposed as areas for the unobserved arrival of senior figures from the Iranian military and Lebanon’s Hezbollah terror group.

Why Jews Say "NEVER AGAIN"

Nadene Goldfoot                                        

Jupiter, king of Roman Gods

Zeus, king of Greek Gods

        
About 4 thousand years ago, Abraham and his entourage of family members and  descendants got into trouble for not believing in the religion of the Greeks and Romans.  Instead of accepting the Greek Zeus and his whole family who were living above Mt. Olympus out in space and believing in his contemporary, the Roman god, Jupiter, these people had become monotheistic and only would believe in one unseen G-d.  So from then on, people were suspicious of them.  How odd they must be to not believe as others did.
                                                                     

Queen Esther (Hadassah) in about 300 BCE told her husband, the king of Persia, that she was Jewish and of Haman's plot to kill all Jews. 

They were a stiff-necked people, indeed.  They refused to follow others' religious beliefs.  About 2300 years ago in Persia, there was an advisor to the king named Haman who had been offended by a Jew.  He wouldn't bow to him, or some such elementary thing.  The advisor, swelled up with pride and deep in his self worth for being so important to the king who could not make a move without him, decided ALL JEWS IN THE WORLD MUST BE KILLED.  They were a subjected people and would not bow.  Well, the ending to this story is that the king's queen was a hidden Jew and the king really loved her, so he killed off Haman and his sons and had them hung in the public square.  The Jews had a close call they never forgot.
                                                                           

Concentration Camp-Aushwitz, Jews were slaughtered here

All of about 75 years ago in 1943, the Nazi's final solution to all problems, especially the economic ones, were to kill all the Jews of the world.  This time they almost succeeded.  The USA and England knew about Jews being gassed in German death camps in Poland and that Hitler was busy with formulated plan to kill all Jews from the Atlantic Ocean to the Volga River, and probably would then start on the USA.
                                                                                 

Aushwitz-Death-Concentration Camp WWII

Did anyone come to the rescue of these constant monotheistic odd people?  No.  USA, Britain and France wouldn't let them in their countries.  They couldn't bring anything of value as the Germans had taken all their property, yet the Jews were told to leave Germany and its occupied territories.  A few relented if they had enough money to leave with and were guaranteed jobs by other prominent Jews of that country.
                                                                             

SS Washington

Werner Oster was on the last ship out of Germany in May 4-12,  1939.  The next ship to leave a week later and others following were turned away after docking in Western ports and were sent back to a Europe now ruled by Nazis who killed Jews.  Werner had a sponsor and a job guarantee in USA, making him no liability for the USA.  He was 23 years old.
                                                                         

Jewish children rounded up for deportation to death camps like Aushwitz

In the meantime, the natives of eastern Europe helped the Nazis round up Jews in hiding so they could also go into the ovens.  There were very few people Jews could trust to hide them or help out.
                                                                         

Emma Lazarus b: 1849 New York
Poet

As for the United States, the story is very disappointing.  Our own country, the land of the free and the home of the brave, the land where the Statue of Liberty's creed was written by a Jewish woman, Emma Lazarus,  saying:

Statue of Liberty, New York

“Give me your tired, your poor, 

Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, 

The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. 

Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed, to me: 

I lift my lamp beside the golden door.”

And it meant  to the needy Jews who couldn't come to see it, a chance to live.  Our government was full of anti-Semitic officials high up in the State Department and other agencies in the Roosevelt administration.  They went out of their way TO HIDE DATA ABOUT THE PLIGHT OF JEWISH REFUGEES.    They went around protocol in order to refuse entry into the United States who were escaping from the Holocaust.  Only a few Jews got into the USA.

                                                                                     

Jews behind barbed wire in Cyprus, prevented from entering Palestine

The British were almost as bad and also did their very best to stop Jewish refugees from escaping to Palestine, which was already decided by the League of Nations  after WWI to be the Jewish Homeland within 30 years-only waiting out the British Mandate period of time.   Here was land designated for the Jews and they couldn't get in.  They also were turned away to go back to Europe to be killed.  

                                                                            

Dachau- Death-Concentration Camp, WWII

We come to the fatal 1943.  American authorities knew what was going on.  They learned a lot from those who had escaped.  They had photographs from reconnaissance.  They learned things from German spies passing detailed information to Swiss  spies. Besides their own informants, there were international Jewish advocates who asked that the Allies would bomb the places like Auschwitz.  

                                                                      

Auschwitz was killing over 10,000 Jews a day.  Pleas to bomb these death camps were ignored and the pleaders were told lies.  

                                                                          

For 70 years, Israelis have learned the lessons about the psychology and economic stability of their friends.  Through the Holocaust they have learned much about the ways of mankind.  Jews are really on their own and can never let such things happen to them again.  Mankind is not to be trusted.  They can "never again assume that national leaders" who have deadly weapons at their disposal do not really mean all the horrible things they shout and scream about killing Jews,  especially the land that produced a Haman.  Friends have turned out to be much less.  

                                                                                  

Any deal any country makes that gives Iran a nuclear bomb is unacceptable to Israel.  Israel has never stood for an unfriendly country that means harm to Israel to have nuclear weapons.

Osirak nuclear plant site

                                                                            

Osirak nuclear site

Iraq found this out.  Saddam Hussein got a nuclear reactor from France and it was up by 1981.  Israel then took it out.  

                                                                           

Syria built the al-Kibar nuclear plant that was launched by the North Koreans.  this uranium enrichment plant was destroyed in 2007 by Israel.

                                                                              

One should remember all the boos and yells at Israel for doing these two acts of self protection.  ISIS now controls the land these plants stood on.  

Arak in Iran;  Heavy Water manufacturing

                                                                               

Bushnehr nuclear site in Iran

Parchin Military Nuclear Facility in Iran

Let's face it.  Israeli leaders trust their own Mossad much more than the Western intelligence they are fed.  They're rarely told the truth about matters of their own safety.  So Israel relies on their own people.  

The same thing has happened with the Iran nuclear plan. The big 5+1 was invited but Israel was left out in the dark and they are the #1 people that most matter in this deal.  

                                                                           

Never again will Israel allow Jewish lives to be snuffed out.  

That's why this Iran plan must be stopped somehow.  How about the fact that Obama has said that American planes will attack Israeli planes if they try to attack the Iranian plants?   According to promises, this plan was on the table for the USA to do.  Iran had plenty of warning.   Do you really think that in 12 years Iran will be a friendly nation and not bomb the USA as well?  

                                                                           

Revolutionary Guard unit of Iran

Already the Iranian Revolutionary guards were the ones that ordered the attack on Israel yesterday from Syria with 4 bombs.  It was carried out by the Palestinian Islamic Jihad terrorists and hit the Golan.  They're in practice for the big one, no doubt.
