Hamas surprise attack out of Gaza Strip

Born and raised in Israel.

Alex was actually born in Russia...T68 Tank Commander in the Soviet Army IIRC, he emigrated to Israel when the Russians opened their borders for Jewish born Ruskies.

Unfortunately he passed away a couple years ago.

Elad, from eMc, lives in Israel as well. I'm pretty sure he made a recent appearance (before the bombings) at eMc.

I recall the "The Lazy Islander" screen name. Had some cool tricks on the old ftp server.

Oh yes, Teh Bear was awesome. 

I enjoyed his poetry, his sense of humor, and he was a stone cold next-level guru at Mastercam. 

Definitely a sad day when we lost him.

One of the saddest part of IHS killing the OT forum, all the stories he shared are lost.
The stories of his life experiences growing up under Communist rule, moving and living in Israel.

He shared the kind of stories you don't really get in history books because it was actually his life.

When my wife and I went through a foreign adoption from Russia Alex helped us with translations and much more. He gave me some great insight to what we would run into culturally while in country there and when dealing with things afterword's. He was spot on.

Yes, it was a sad day when he passed.

Bidet Admin is adamant that Iran wasn't involved in the Hamas attack. The only conclusion we can make from that is that they knew about the attack and let it happen.

Bidet Admin is adamant that Iran wasn't involved in the Hamas attack.

If they acknowledge Iran's participation in the attack, Biden must also acknowledge that his policies
funded the attack.

Interesting how the operation mockingbird operatives would roundly box-in a republican if caught in such an insanely obvious lie, yet all we get are crickets when the commies are in power

Biden payola: $100 million of your tax dollars 'to Gaza', whatever that means.

Obama gave billions to Gaza in humanitarian aid.
A very large percentage was diverted to weapons and tunnel manufacturing and payroll for war fighters.
One of Trump's first acts as President was to stop the flow of American $$$ into Gaza.
One of Biden's first acts was to turn the spigots back on.
Historically American tax dollars made the payroll for the Gaza government employees and was
even used to pay pensions and survivor's benefits to the families of terrorist killed in Israel murdering
and kidnapping people. 

It would be interesting to discover how the hundreds of new Toyota pickups, dirt bikes and paragliders
used in the latest murder spree were paid for.

Well money is fungible, so we'll never be told it was traceable by media agents.
