New in PJ Media:
On Wednesday, the U.S. embassy in Buenos Aires received a bomb threat. That followed less than a day after angry crowds gathered outside the U.S. embassies in Turkey, Lebanon, Jordan, Iraq, and Yemen, screaming “Allahu akbar” and expressing rage over the bombing of a Gaza hospital by Israel that turned out to be the bombing of a hospital by Palestinian Islamic Jihad. Now that America is back and the adults are firmly in charge and all that, is another Benghazi-style storming of an American embassy and massacre of American personnel in the offing? It could happen all too easily. After all, what would Old Joe Biden’s woke military or security forces do in the face of a genuine challenge?
Fox News reported Tuesday that “hundreds of protesters” assembled in front of the U.S. Embassy in Beirut, enraged over reports that turned out to be false that Israel had bombed the Al-Ahli Baptist Hospital in Gaza and killed at least five hundred people. Hours after the establishment media had carried the news of Israel’s alleged atrocity around the world, drawing condemnation from such wise heads as Justin Trudeau and Rashida Tlaib, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) announced that Israel had not hit the hospital at all. The jihadis themselves had done so: “An analysis of IDF operational systems indicates that a barrage of rockets was fired by terrorists in Gaza, passing in close proximity to the al-Ahli [Baptist] hospital in Gaza at the time it was hit. Intelligence from multiple sources we have in our hands indicates that Islamic Jihad is responsible for the failed rocket launch which hit the hospital in Gaza.”
The IDF’s explanation was greeted with a skepticism that the establishment media had never displayed toward the initial claim that Israel had bombed the hospital, but Hamas operatives had been caught talking about how the hospital (actually, just its parking lot) had been hit by a stray Palestinian Islamic Jihad rocket.
All that, however, came out after the embassies were menaced on Tuesday night, although the bomb threat in Buenos Aires on Wednesday showed that the facts didn’t matter: once a thoroughly propagandized population is stirred up, it’s virtually impossible to stop it from swinging into action. The crowd grew so unruly in Beirut, reported Fox, that “tear gas was deployed near the embassy.” This was necessary because “protesters threw rocks and Molotov cocktails at demonstrations, which caused a fire” near the embassy.
There is more. Read the rest here.

Zelensky must be fed up:all focus now is towards the middle East away from Ukraine and the West ‘s “Let’s start WW3 project” by triggering the Russians.
No doubt there are dark forces behind the Israel-Gaza conflict pulling strings with the same intent.
What will Zelensky do now?It must be trying times..and money needs to be earned.
“Any weepons?..$$$ needed ..c’mon lots $$$ needed for fight against Big Bully Russian Bear..big bully bear.. ..gimme more money..ah for farq’s sake..will somebody PLEASE START WW3..”

I know they won’t, but we need to pull out all diplomatic personnel and issue a State Department advisory to Americans who are either already in or planning to travel to any country from Pakistan to Gambia, also tossing in Bangladesh, Malaysia, Brunei and maybe even Indonesia. If we wanna avoid another Benghazi
Incidentally, do we have any diplomatic representation in Libya? If not, maybe Libya is the model of the type of relations we should have w/ that country
