Midweek War Civil

Happy midweek, people of Stroock's Books. 

As The New York Times and Nick Kristof blood-libel the Jews*, Hot Air tells us of a new report detailing the Gazan's mass rape and sexual mutilation of Israelis on October 7th and afterwords. Do not turn away. Look. See. This blog insists, absolutely insists that the readership clicks on over and reads Hot Air's story about the sexual atrocities Hamas committed against the Jews, 'redefined evil'.

Do not turn away. Look. And know that everyone in Gaza is culpable for the sick evil Hamas unleashed. Israel needs Sherman. Israel needs Curtis Lemay. Bomb Gaza. 

Meanwhile the IDF continues dismantling Hezbollah infrastructure in southern Lebanon. 

And in Austria, Israeli singer Noam Bettan waded into a sea of European hate and advanced to the Eurovision song contest finale. 

On to nicer things...

Last night Middle Daughter lamented, 'I ask you one question about the Civil War and you won't shut up for an hour!'

That question was, 'How many years did the Civil War last? Five years? Ugggggh!'

We then mentioned a few of the battle she would learn. The Wilderness, Cold Harbor, Spotsylvania, the Atlanta Campaign, Sherman's March to the Sea....'That's all the battles?' She asked. 'That's all the battles in 1864,' we said. 'Ughhhh!' Middle Daughter replied and stomped off. 

War of the ants....light activity. We saw one ant this morning. 

DOGE report.

We started reading the FDN Nueva Segovia chapter and are more or less pleased. By the end of the week we will have read through and edited the whole thing, and it will be time to put that chapter and the FDN set up chapter into the sit phase where we don't think about it for a few weeks. 

*Israeli rape dogs, Arabs will believe anything. The imams are right, the Jew is clever. There was a time when that sentence was funny. When it was so over the top and out of place as to be a farce. It's not funny anymore, is it? Not when the mayor of New York backs pogroms against Jews.
