4 Thanks for catching that, Grom — I’m clearly more tired than I realized. I meant Hezbollah, of course.

I wonder who is telling Hamas things that haven’t helped them avoid getting killed…

5 It helps Hezbollah plenty - how do you think they managed to squirrel 150000 missiles?

11 U.S. envoy Amos Hochstein, tasked with the Lebanon portfolio by President Joe Biden earlier in his administration, spoke to Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant on Saturday, stressing that Jerusalem has a right to defend itself against the Iranian terror proxy, but must avoid an all-out war and minimize civilian casualties.

12 Amos Hochstein, Biden's mediator for Israel-Lebanon, declared negotiations with Hezbollah futile. Tensions rise as conflict strategies evolve; IDF prepares for potential escalation.

14  Hi, what's become of g(r)omgoru?

Fairbanks — when he came back after taking a timeout during Covid, he modified his nym to Grom the XX to show he’s trying to be thoughtful and reflective.

Is he Lebanese?

My Israeli father did say that Arabs look just like Jews, only just crazier around the eyes… which would explain the error.
