Arsenal of American B-2 bomber.

These are all the weapons a B-2 can carry, not its single payload.

The maximum payload capacity of the B-2 bomber is 40,000 pounds (18,144 kilograms).

The B-2 Spirit bomber is the most expensive military aircraft ever built, with a unit cost of approximately $2 billion per aircraft.

BREAKING: President Biden is considering bringing Palestinians from Gaza into the United States as refugees according to CBS.

Federal U.S. agencies are figuring out how to resettle Palestinians from Gaza.

According to the report, one proposal would use the United States Refugee Admissions Program to bring in Palestinians with U.S. ties who may have escaped into Egypt.

Those who pass the eligibility requirements would then fly into the United States with refugee status, receive housing assistance and have a path towards citizenship.

This is suicidal.

“Almost three in four Palestinians believe the Oct. 7 attack by Hamas on Israel was correct, and the ensuing Gaza war has lifted support for the Islamist group both there and in the West Bank, a survey from a respected Palestinian polling institute found.

“Seventy-two percent of respondents said they believed the Hamas decision to launch the cross-border rampage in southern Israel was "correct" given its outcome so far, while 22% said it was "incorrect". The remainder were undecided or gave no answer.”

UK Foreign Secretary @David_Cameron told the House of Lords on Tuesday that the proscription of Iran's IRGC as terrorist "is not in Britain's interest".

Pressed by the House of Lords International Relations and Defense Committee on the proscription, Cameron said, "There is a disadvantage, to be frank about it, from proscription, which is it would effectively end diplomatic relations, and while our diplomatic relations are pretty terse, and I say that with meaning as someone who has had very many conversations with the Iranian foreign minister, we are actually able to have that conversation."

Anyone know what happening in Israel / Gaza tonight?
I came here expecting to find more info, after reading this on Amir Tsarfati's feed tonight:

Following the very tough incident which is still under gag order, all night long the Israeli Air Force carried out airstrikes in several locations in the Gaza Strip against terrorist targets, with an emphasis on Rafah and the Nazirat refugee camp. The Palestinians reported more than ten deaths in Rafah. Also, the 99th Division operated on the ground in the Beit Lahia area and exchanged fire with terrorists who were hiding in buildings.

Earlier, Amir posted these pictures in relation to what he calls only "A very tough incident":

Not sure if this has anything to do with the "Very tough incident which is still under gag order" in Israel or not, but just found this from Amir Tsarfati:

An hour ago, the remains of a human body was found on the the Israeli side near the Gaza Strip.
Apparently a victim from the 7/10 massacre who was thought to be a hostage so far.

Biden demanded that Israel evacuate at least 800,000 Palestinians from Rafah. The UAE bought 40,000 tents that can host 20 people each. So far, about 150,000 have left Rafah, and the evacuation is continuing. IDF forces and resources have completed the preparation to enter Rafah. Their primary focus point will be the Philadelphi Route, which is between Gaza and Egypt. Egypt is concerned that Hamas will blow up the fence and Gazns will flee to Egypt. My guess is that if no hostage deal is reached in the next three to four days, the IDF will enter Rafah.

Hostegae deal details reported in Lebanon: Stage one: IDF will withdraw from the densely populated areas. Aircraft traffic in the Gaza Strip will be suspended for 8-10 hours daily. The displaced citizens will be able to return to their homes. On the seventh day after the release of the women among the abductees, IDF forces will clear the coastal axis to allow the movement of humanitarian aid. On the 22nd day, after the release of two-thirds of the agreed-upon hostages, the IDF forces will withdraw from Netzarim Corridor.

At this stage, 500 aid trucks a day, 50 of which will be diesel, will be brought to operate the power plant in Gaza. Heavy equipment will also be brought into the Gaza Strip to clear the rubble, and hospitals, clinics, and bakeries all over the Strip will be retrained. During this period, Hamas will release at least 33 abductees under the category: women, children up to the age of 19, adults over the age of 50, sick and wounded. Israel will release 20 Palestinian prisoners for each hostage in a matching category: women and children versus women and children. Adults against adults, when the key of 20 prisoners is kept for each abductee. In this category, Palestinian prisoners whose remaining sentence exceeds 10 years will not be released.

Female Soldiers category: For each kidnapped female soldier, 20 prisoners who are sentenced to life imprisonment and another 20 prisoners with up to 10 years remaining in prison will be released. Israel has the right of veto on the names of the prisoners up to 200 cumulative names for the right of veto. The prisoners will be released to the Gaza Strip or abroad.

Rate of release: Hamas will release 3 Israeli hostages every 3 days. Second stage (42 days): The completion of the agreement for a ceasefire and its announcement before the release of surviving abductees (men and soldiers) in exchange for the release of additional Palestinian prisoners. The beginning of the necessary arrangements for the total rehabilitation of the strip. Third stage (42 days): Kidnapped-prisoner body swap. Beginning of the implementation of a 5-year rehabilitation plan for the Gaza Strip.

Trump on Netanyahu: "I had a bad experience with Bibi. And it had to do with Soleimani, because as you probably know by now, he dropped out just before the attack. And I said, “What's that all about?” Because that was going to be a joint and all of a sudden, we were told that Israel was not doing it"

From the complaint: There is a legal chasm between independent advocacy and knowingly serving as the propaganda and recruiting wing of a Foreign Terrorist Organization in the United States. AMP and NSJP are the latter. They are not innocent advocacy groups, but rather the propaganda arm of a terrorist organization operating in plain sight.

Big news. I'm not familiar with the other law firms, but Greenberg Traurig is the 14th highest grossing law firm in the US with a strong reputation to uphold, and assumedly would not have taken on this lawsuit without substantial due diligence ensuring that the claims were at least plausible. https://gtlaw.com/en/news/2024/05/press-releases/greenberg-traurig-national-jewish-advocacy-center-schoen-law-firm-and-holtzman-vogel-represent-american-and-israeli-victims-of-hamas

NEW YORK – May 1, 2024 – Representing a group of victims of the Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas terror attack on Israel, global law firm Greenberg Traurig, LLP, the National Jewish Advocacy Center, the Schoen Law Firm, and the Holtzman Vogel law firm have filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern Division of Virginia, Alexandria Division, against AJP Educational Foundation Inc. a/k/a American Muslims for Palestine (AMP) and National Students for Justice in Palestine (NSJP).

The lawsuit, which seeks compensatory damages for nine American and Israeli victims of the attack in which Hamas killed 1,200 people and took 240 people hostage, alleges that AMP and NSJP work in the United States as collaborators and propagandists for Hamas. Hamas is a United States designated Foreign Terrorist Organization. The suit also notes that AMP and NSJP are merely the current version of several prior entities that were already determined by the U.S. government to be supporters of Hamas.

TRUMP NO LONGER WANTS A TWO STATE SOLUTION: The Republican presidential candidate, Donald Trump, renounces his support for the two-state solution in an interview with Time magazine. Trump becomes the first candidate in the current century to withdraw backing for a Palestinian state.

"In the past, I believed in its feasibility, as did many others, but support has waned over time. When asked, they say 'two states,' but when Israel agrees, they demand 'everything.'"

Trump concedes rare fault, recalling Sheldon Adelson's warnings about the hostility in Palestinian education hindering peace. "I debated him, but it seems he was right."

Trump suggests readiness to aid Israel, including potentially joining an attack on Iran, though he boasts of being the first war-free president. "Yes, I will safeguard Israel."

He praises Gantz as a good person but stops short of favoring him over Netanyahu, whom he criticizes sharply. Nonetheless, he hints at capable replacements within Israel's leadership.

Tensions between the IDF and Netanyahu have become so severe that there are even some whispers of a possible military coup. Veteran and respected military correspondent Ron Ben-Yishai published a bombshell story in Ynet today.

Tensions surround Netanyahu's indecision on what the IDF believes are the five most important issues surrounding the war today:

* The hostage deal
* The day after plan
* The Rafah operation
* The war in the north
* The defense budget

The Hostage Deal: The IDF feels that ending the war now and focusing on getting the hostages back is a good idea strategically. However, they are also willing to wage this war to the end. But right now, they feel the war is being fought with one hand tied behind their backs, and every day, more hostages could die. They believe the situation would be much better if Netanyahu decided on one path.

The Day After Plan: The IDF feels that by not creating an alternate governance mechanism, all of the fighting and sacrifices it has made so far have been wasted. As soon as they leave, Hamas goes back in. This is frustrating to them since many soldiers died to take these areas that are just given up because there is no governing alternative to Hamas. The IDF is willing to create a military government or support a newly installed PA government or something of the sort. They think it is time for Netanyahu to decide.

The operation in Rafah: The IDF has an operation ready to go in Rafah and believes it is essential to do so. They also believe the operation would pressure Hamas into a hostage deal. However, they are amazed that Netanyahu has not yet given the order to clear Rafah since that will take weeks. They want Netanyahu to decide already because without going in, the hostage negotiations are dragging on, and Hamas still controls the tunnels leading to Egypt.

The war in the north: The IDF feels it is not being given the tools to bring quiet back to the north. They are concerned the new normal will be a war of attrition that doesn't allow the residents home. They believe Israel needs to either reach a ceasefire with Hamas and try to calm things diplomatically or let them go into Lebanon. They just want Netanyahu to decide.

The Defense budget: The IDF needs to know which front the government will focus on to know what to spend money on. Long-range capabilities against Iran? A military government in Gaza? A war in Lebanon? They have no idea what to plan for, what weapons to buy, and how to organize the troops.

The feeling that Netanyahu is inept and indecisive to the point of paralyzing the war is rampant in the army. These five points are the reason. Ben-Yishai compares the feeling in the army to the "generals mutiny" that occurred before the 1967 War when Levi Eshkol hesitated to attack Egypt. The IDF was considering taking steps against the Prime Minister.

That was settled by a decision to go to war. Will Netanyahu make the necessary decisions? If not, some worry the military will take matters into their own hands. They feel the future of the country is at stake.

Every time I think I have seen the worst of it, I learn of another cruel and brutal atrocity committed by Hamas.

odds are, we won't learn the true scale of Hamas' crimes for years to come, and that's not even including the psychological trauma inflicted on an entire nation of Israelis.

watch this chilling testimony by 18-year-old Noga Weiss, who was held hostage by Hamas, about how her captor said that she will marry him and stay in Gaza to raise his children
