					<description><![CDATA[&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.understandingwar.org/backgrounder/iran-update-may-22-2024&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow ugc&quot;&gt;ISW – May 22, 2024&lt;/a&gt; – Snippets: 
&lt;blockquote&gt;Axis of Resistance objectives:

• Erode the will of the Israeli political establishment and public to sustain clearing operations in the Gaza Strip
• Reestablish Hamas as the governing authority in the Gaza Strip

US intelligence indicates that Israel has killed 30-35% of Hamas fighters who were part of the group before October 7, 2023 .. The report stated that Hamas has been able to withstand Israeli operations in the Gaza Strip by &lt;b&gt;recruiting “thousands over the last several months.”&lt;/b&gt; Senior US officials have recently indicated concerns that Hamas will survive in the Gaza Strip. The reporting is consistent with &lt;b&gt;CTP-ISW&#039;s assessment that Hamas retains combat-effective units&lt;/b&gt; in several areas of the Gaza Strip, despite continued Israeli clearing efforts. Politico also reported citing US intelligence that 65% of Hamas’ tunnels are “intact.”&lt;/blockquote&gt;

War takes time. What Gazan turns Hamas ‘&lt;i&gt;Recruiters&lt;/i&gt;’ down?]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I was only half kidding with regards to mib, I mean look around they don&#039;t even hide it,

so the story from paul sperry, re the evidence that mueller misrepresented to the 9/11 commission, which is prima facie evidence of a Saudi intelligence agent collusion with two of the hijacker, this didn&#039;t even appear in the 28 pages, its part of a lawsuit under consideration since that act JUSTA, was signed in 2016]]></description>

It&#039;s monolithic enough to be called &quot;The West&quot;. Getting duped? Who&#039;s fault is that? Politicians are going to be politicians. I find it hilarious that &quot;The People&quot; never hold themselves accountable for anything. The word virtue is found three times more than the word freedom in the writings of the Founding Fathers. Today you would think Freedom is the only word in their writing. We have met the enemy and they are us.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[&lt;i&gt;What will it take to convince you of the reality of UFOs and of NHIs?

--Snow on Pine&lt;/i&gt;

Geez. I was trotting along on this beautiful spring morning -- about as good as New Mexico gets before the summer heat -- when I found myself somehow required to justify my lack of persuasion in Snow on Pine&#039;s positions on UFOs and NHIs.

I&#039;m not fond of being addressed as the general &quot;you&quot; nor do I appreciate the rhetorical trick of shifting the onus to me.

Snow on Pine: 

It&#039;s your job to make your case, not mine to convince you that I am justified not to be convinced by or even interested in your arguments.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Thank you both for providing good information re Mossad. I never had a background I could feel comfortable referring to for reliable information. I have known several people who claim to have studied with Mossad or been enrolled in some way with Mossad in Israel. Is there a program whereby US citizens can enlist, or study with the Mossad? Why would a university librarian be interested? Or what about an upper-level hotel manager in the US? Is there some study or training program for amateurs?]]></description>
