Bari Weiss discusses with Douglas Murray (The Free Press): 'A Time of War as Iran attacks Israel'; they ask a key question, where was BLM, MeToo, feminists, westerners after Oct 7th? Why are Israeli
women 'less' than western or other women? Who stands for them as they are held hostage and raped and killed? Where are the western feminists? Why are they playing a game on the fence?
Welcome to the true feminists…you are a moron, a fool to think they would defend Israel.
Bari asks, has America handcuffed Israel in defending itself?
Excellent piece by Bari and Douglas. Excellent! Helps us unpack some of the issues.
‘When we planned the conversation you’re going to hear today—a live conversation with Douglas Murray—we thought it would be a searching conversation that we’d release on the anniversary of October 7th, looking back at a year of war from a slightly quieter moment. You’ll hear some of that today. But the moment is anything but quiet. As we prepared yesterday afternoon for this conversation, the war that Iran has outsourced to its proxies for the last year finally became a war being waged by Iran itself, as it launched over 100 ballistic missiles towards Israel.
Israel’s 9 million citizens huddled into bomb shelters, while missiles rained down on their homes, with a handful making direct impact. As of this recording, two people were injured, and one person was killed—that person was a Palestinian man in Jericho. Just before that onslaught, at least two terrorists opened fire at a train station in Jaffa, Israel, killing at least six people and injuring at least seven others. No one understands the moral urgency of this moment better than my friend and guest today, Douglas Murray. Douglas Murray isn’t Jewish. He has no Israeli family members. And yet it is Douglas Murray who understands the stakes of this war and the moral clarity that it requires.
Douglas’s work as a reporter has taken him to Iraq, North Korea, northern Nigeria, Ukraine, and most recently, to Israel. Douglas remained in Israel for months as he reported back with clarity, truth, and conviction. Douglas is the best-selling author of seven books, and is a regular contributor at the New York Post, the National Review, and here at The Free Press, where he writes our beloved Sunday column: “Things Worth Remembering.” There is no one better to talk to in this moment, as we watch in real time as the Middle East—and the world as we know it—transforms before our eyes.

The targets were military. Via Grok: how much damage and death was caused by the recent Iranian missile attack on Israel?
Answer
Based on the information available up to October 5, 2024, the recent Iranian missile attack on Israel resulted in minimal damage and a single reported fatality. The deceased was a 37-year-old Palestinian man named Samih Asali from Jabalia, killed by falling shrapnel in the West Bank. There have been claims and counter-claims regarding the extent of the damage and casualties, but from verified reports:
Casualties: Only one confirmed death has been consistently reported across different sources, with some posts on X (formerly Twitter) mentioning injuries but no further confirmed fatalities directly from the attack.
Damage: The attack aimed at Israeli military targets, including airbases like Nevatim and Tel Nof, and reportedly hit areas around these bases, a school in Gedera, and near the Mossad headquarters. However, the damage described in reports was not extensive or catastrophic. Israeli and U.S. defense systems intercepted many of the missiles, reducing the attack's effectiveness. Some damage to infrastructure was noted, like in Gedera where a classroom was hit, but overall, the physical damage was limited.
Effectiveness: The attack was described in various reports as being largely thwarted by Israel's missile defense systems, with most missiles intercepted or causing minor damage.
Unverified Claims: There have been higher casualty figures and more significant damage claims circulated, especially on social platforms, but these have not been corroborated by official or widespread journalistic sources as of the last update.
Remember, information on such events can be fluid, with initial reports sometimes containing inaccuracies. However, as of the latest data, the attack's impact in terms of both damage and human loss was considerably less than what might be expected from the scale of the missile launch, largely due to effective defensive measures.
Via GPT4o:
The recent Iranian missile attack on Israel, which took place on October 1, 2024, involved the launch of approximately 180 ballistic missiles. Although this marked a significant escalation in tensions between the two countries, the overall damage and casualties were relatively limited, thanks to Israel’s advanced air defense systems, such as the Iron Dome and Arrow. These systems intercepted a large number of the incoming missiles, preventing a major catastrophe. However, some missiles did strike military air bases, such as Nevatim and Tel Nof, causing damage to buildings and infrastructure, but no aircraft were reported destroyed(The Times of Israel)(KNBA).
In terms of human impact, there were few reported casualties. Some Israeli officials have acknowledged damage to air base facilities but have emphasized that the country's military capabilities remain intact. The strikes did prompt widespread international condemnation, as the attack heightened fears of a broader regional conflict(The Times of Israel)(KNBA).
Although the immediate effects were limited, the political and military consequences of the attack are still unfolding, with Israel vowing a calculated response at a time and place of its choosing(The Times of Israel)(Military Benefits).
God bless Israel and its people.
