Another pillar of Israel's success in this war, Fainberg said, was the operational integration with the United States.

"This is a war conducted in English," she said, adding that the current joint US‑Israeli operation against Iran was an air campaign with a clear "partition of labour".

For the first time, Israel was also benefiting from US in-air refuelling, a capability that, Fainberg said, explained how Israel had been able to launch 6,000 munitions over such a long distance, according to Israeli military figures published on Thursday.

Imagine if you moderated a politics community where this post would be removed for being considered NOT US politics...... because we are talking about the Israel Air Force not the US Air Force.

Imagine how much of a clown you would look like.

TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) – The Florida bill to ban marrying a first cousin failed to pass in the Florida Senate.

State lawmakers voted down HB-733, which proposed that “incestuous marriages” would not be recognized for any purpose in the state of Florida after July 1, 2026.

The bill had proposed that a man “may not marry any woman to whom he is related by lineal consanguinity, nor his sister, nor his aunt, nor his niece,” while a woman cannot marry a man “whom she is related by lineal consanguinity, nor her brother, nor her uncle, nor her nephew.”

State Representative Dean Black told Florida’s Action News Jax that he expects another vote on the same issue sometime in the future.

“There are plenty of people here, and there are plenty of people you can find to be your lifelong partner without looking to your first cousin,” Black said.

Florida is one of more than a dozen states where marrying your first cousin is legal, but most of the United States has banned such marriages.

Actually putting them in a position to enact something like this means electing Democratic majorities in the House and Senate.
