it could have been Crocodile Donald
News reports over the past couple of days have pointed to a situation of an abandoned crocodile farm i the Jordan Valley in Israel containing 200 crocodiles who have resorted to cannibalism, eating each other's limbs and body parts due to lack of food.
We visited this farm back in the late 90s. Even back then we saw crocs that were disfigured from injuries and missing limbs and it was clear to us they were fighting with each other and biting each other. I did not know they were cannibals due to lack of food, just assumed it is how they interact with each other.
So after the farm closed down due to a change in the law making these crocodiles a protected species, they kind of just got abandoned and became a menace to society with the area not being maintained. Honestly it seems irresponsible for the government to change the law forcing this farm to shut down with no plan of what to do with the existing crocs. But regardless of that, that is what happened and the crocs have been running wild on each other ever since.
Israel recently culled over 200 crocodiles from that area.
I think this was a missed opportunity.
Israel could have cleaned them up and gifted them to President Donald Trump to add to his Alligator Alcatraz compound. What a waste.

UN expertise
The United Nations has issued a report showing that most of their trucks of humanitarian aid have been ransacked and looted by Hamas and others.
From the article, this seems like the key part to me:
88% of trucks since May, with over 90% being looted in June and 94% in July!The United Nations Office for Project Services has published data showing that since the resumption of humanitarian aid deliveries to Gaza on May 19 and up until August 5, a total of 2,604 aid trucks were collected by the UN after entering the Strip. Of those, 2,309 did not reach their intended destinations inside the enclave.
According to the organization, this was due to the trucks being “intercepted either peacefully by hungry people or forcefully by armed actors during transit in Gaza.” This accounts for 88% of all trucks.
In recent months, the percentages were even higher. According to UNOPS, in June, 1,155 trucks were collected by the UN and its partner organizations, and 1,048 of them — 90.7% — were intercepted before reaching their destinations. In July, the figure rose to 94%, with 1,161 trucks collected and 1,093 intercepted.
On the one hand you gotta give the UN credit for not burying this and actually publishing a report on their own work that shows how badly they have failed.
I find it amazing that they can run around going on media all over the world talking about how Israel should just let them do what they do and what they are professional and experts at in giving out humanitarian aid, while up to94% of their trucks are being looted by terrorists.
it really sounds like they are such professionals, like they do such an amazing job, are great at what they do. They just need to be left along by Israel to do what they do better than anyone else!
Who in the United Nations ever has to pay for the price for their failures? Anyone?

Raise a glass and say Lechaim
Iran is reportedly experiencing a severe water shortage due to drought conditions (ie no rain) and soaring temperatures (temperatures have reached as high as 122F in some parts of the country this summer). The capital city Tehran is also running out of water. They are worried they are soon going to hit what they call "Day Zero" where they have no water left. They have been declaring national holidays as a way of keeping people from going to work so they can stay at home out of the heat and thereby also reduce the need for energy and water.
If only they had decent relations with a nearby country that has developed technology to minimize water waste in agriculture, to produce water out of the air, to desalinate water, and all sorts of other potential solutions... they could do a lot of to minimize the problems and solve some of their shortages...
But no.... instead of living like normal decent people looking to have good decent relations with other people and have cooperation on similar problems and working together to find solutions, they prefer instead to blame Israel for their water shortages.
And mind you, they are not blaming Israel because Israel destroyed their dams in the recent war - they didn't. They aren't blaming Israel for destroying their oil fields, because Israel didn't. They are not blaming Israel for destroying their pumping systems and aquifers and whatnot - Israel didn't.
They are blaming Israel for manipulating the weather patterns to steal Iranian clouds so it would not rain in Iran.
I am checking the minutes of our latest Elders of Zion meeting to see if we used our space lasers or who was put in charge of controlling the weather over Iran recently. Maybe they deserve a raise.
And if it was us, that's pretty impressive. Maybe another reason you dont want to be our enemy. It can't be impossible, considering what the Mossad has accomplished over the past couple of years...
I guess you are on your own buddy. Raise a glass and say Lechaim!

Backsies or No Backsies
A week or so ago French President Emmanuel Macron announced that France would officially recognize a Palestinian State.
Consistent with its historic commitment to a just and lasting peace in the Middle East, I have decided that France will recognize the State of Palestine.
— Emmanuel Macron (@EmmanuelMacron) July 24, 2025
I will make this solemn announcement before the United Nations General Assembly this coming September.… pic.twitter.com/VTSVGVH41I
In the days since I have heard a lot of talk about this announcement (and about the announcements of other countries in the wake of France's announcement)... those who praised it did not explain how it would work and how it is not a price to Hamas for its terror and refusal to further ceasefire deals, and those who oppose it have asked some good questions and made some good points, but there are a couple aspects of this I simply have not heard discussed and I continue to wonder about.
Specifically in the paragraph where President Macron details:
We need an immediate ceasefire, the release of all hostages, and massive humanitarian aid for the people of Gaza. We must also ensure the demilitarization of Hamas, secure and rebuild Gaza. And finally, we must build the State of Palestine, guarantee its viability, and ensure that by accepting its demilitarization and fully recognizing Israel, it contributes to the security of all in the region.
What would the borders of this State of Palestine be? Obviously it wont be agreed upon borders, so what will the official borders be?
Who will be the authority of this Palestinian State? The Palestinian Authority led by Mahmoud Abbas? Hamas? Other? Will any of them recognize Israel as the Jewish homeland? And what if they dont?
This seems like a less than half baked idea with no actual plan. Not only does it incentivize further terror, it has some nice ideas with no consequences for lack of follow through.
