Zionists Are Calling For More War And May Well Get It

The daily Israeli murder campaign in Gaza continues unabated.

Netranyahoo is blocking (vid) any proposal for a ceasefire by adding new conditions to the already agreed upon details. His latest quest is to get permanent military control of the so called Philadelphia Corridor which designates the borderline between Egypt and Gaza.

There are two international agreements, brokered by the U.S. and agreed upon by Egypt and Israel, which prohibited anything more than a temporary light force in the corridor:

The US had assured Egypt that Israel's actions along the border would comply with both the 1978 Camp David Accords and the 2005 Memorandum of Understanding. These agreements place clear limitations on Israel’s military presence near Egypt's borders, allowing only small Israeli units for security purposes, and were designed to ensure stability and avoid prolonged occupation in sensitive areas.

Netanyahoo does not care at all what the White House might have promised to Egypt. Biden's timidity in punishing him lets him ignore all interventions.

Zionist settler pogroms in the West Bank, supported by the government, threaten to turn the situation there into the same as in the Gaza strip. As Haaretz editorializes (archived):

Ukraine - CIA/MI-6 Chiefs Push For New Terror Campaign Against Russia

U.S. officials admit that there is no way left for Ukraine to win the war.

The acknowledgment should lead to change in policies. But the U.S. is out of ideas. It will continue to push the downtrodden Ukraine along the Primrose path.

Here is Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin:

U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin cautioned on Friday there was "no one capability" that would turn the war in Ukraine in Kyiv's favour after President Volodymyr Zelenskiy urged the West to let his forces use its long-range weapons to strike Russia.
...
"There's no one capability that will in and of itself be decisive in this campaign," Austin told reporters at the end of the meeting.

There are no super weapons left on the shelves that could change the picture. Everything that could be used has been used and failed.

The Kursk incursion was the last but short lived attempt to change the picture.

It did create some illusions ...

I agree and see nothing that could be done about it.

Ukraine SitRep: Ukrainian Army Chief Reveals Lack of Strategy Behind Kursk Incursion

With the help of a CNN interview the Ukrainian Commander in Chief General Syrski is hoping to gain more support from western sources.

Exclusive: Ukraine army chief reveals the strategy behind Kursk incursion - CNN, Sept 5 2024

In his first television interview since becoming military chief in February, the general told CNN’s Christiane Amanpour that he believed the Kursk operation had been a success.

“It reduced the threat of an enemy offensive. We prevented them from acting. We moved the fighting to the enemy’s territory so that [the enemy] could feel what we feel every day,” Syrskyi said, in a rare interview that offered a candid assessment of the war.
...
Speaking to Amanpour at an undisclosed location near the frontline, the general, who took over as army chief in February, said Moscow moved tens of thousands of troops to Kursk, including some of its best airborne assault troops.

And while admitting that Ukraine was under immense pressure in the area around Pokrovsk, the strategic city that has for weeks been the epicenter of war in eastern Ukraine, Syrskyi said his troops have now managed to stall the Russian advances there.

“Over the last six days the enemy hasn’t advanced a single meter in the Pokrovsk direction. In other words, our strategy is working.” he said.
