How Netanyahoo Lied To Get His War On Gaza
 Shujaiya, Gaza, after recent shelling and bombing by Israel
The current war on Gaza was started by Netanyahoo based on the racist frenzy he had created over the alleged kidnapping of three teenagers. The teenagers were killed by criminals a few hours after they were abducted. Netanyahho knew this but did not tell the public for three weeks falsely blaming Hamas. By then the public was in the mood for war. An Israeli official has now confirmed this in an on-the-record quote.
As Times of Israel reported on June 22, ten days after the “kidnapping”:
Netanyahu: Hard evidence Hamas behind kidnappings
Israel has conclusive evidence that Hamas is behind the June 12 kidnapping of three Israeli teenagers, and is passing that evidence on to several other countries before releasing it publicly, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Sunday morning. … Israel has “unequivocal proof that this is Hamas,” Netanyahu said ahead of the weekly cabinet meeting in Jerusalem. “We are sharing this proof and information to this effect with several countries. Soon this information will be made public.”
Netanyahoo lied but a gag order prevented the Israeli press from mentioning it. Then Max Blumenthal reported in the Electronic Intifada on July 8:
Netanyahu government knew teens were dead as it whipped up racist frenzy
Israeli police, intelligence officials and Netanyahu knew within hours of the kidnapping and murder of the three teens that they had been killed. And they knew who the prime suspects were less than a day after the kidnapping was reported.
Rather than reveal these details to the public, Israel’s Shin Bet intelligence agency imposed a gag order on the national media, barring news outlets from reporting that the teens had almost certainly been killed, and forbidding them from revealing the identities of their suspected killers. The Shin Bet even lied to the parents of the kidnapped teens, deceiving them into believing their sons were alive. … On 12 June, three Jewish Israeli youths, Naftali Frenkel, Gilad Shaar and Eyal Yifrach, went missing while hitchhiking from Kfar Etzion, an illegal settlement in the occupied West Bank. At 10:25pm, Shaar placed a panicked call to Israeli police.
During the eerie call lasting two minutes and nine seconds, the supposed kidnappers can be heard ordering the youths to keep their heads down. Israel Radio plays in the background as Shaar repeatedly appeals for help. Then several gunshots can be heard followed by celebratory singing as the kidnappers remark, “We got three.” The teens had been killed.
Soon after the call the murderers car, but not the dead bodies, was found with blood and DNA of the killed teens all over it.
J.J. Goldberg confirmed the story on July 10 in the Jewish Daily Forward and added that Hamas was clearly not responsible:
How Politics and Lies Triggered an Unintended War in Gaza (Note: I seriously doubt the “unintended” claim in the headline here)
Once the boys’ disappearance was known, troops began a massive, 18-day search-and-rescue operation, entering thousands of homes, arresting and interrogating hundreds of individuals, racing against the clock. Only on July 1, after the boys’ bodies were found, did the truth come out: The government had known almost from the beginning that the boys were dead. It maintained the fiction that it hoped to find them alive as a pretext to dismantle Hamas’ West Bank operations. … It was clear from the beginning that the kidnappers weren’t acting on orders from Hamas leadership in Gaza or Damascus. Hamas’ Hebron branch — more a crime family than a clandestine organization — had a history of acting without the leaders’ knowledge, sometimes against their interests. Yet Netanyahu repeatedly insisted Hamas was responsible for the crime and would pay for it.
This week John B. Judis explained how the fake search for the teens developed into the war:
Who Bears More Responsibility for the War in Gaza?
The two men, as the Israeli government quickly discovered, were associated with a rogue Hamas family that had defied the organization’s leadership. The Israelis also strongly suspected that the boys had been killed, but they used the pretext of searching for the boys to arrest around 500 Palestinians, including Hamas’s West Bank officials and activists. There was sporadic rocket fire on Israel during June that seems to have come from non-Hamas Islamist groups, although the details are murky. Then on July 1, in the wake of the discovery of the three teenagers’ bodies, the Israelis launched 34 airstrikes on Gaza. On July 6, it bombed a tunnel in Gaza, killing six Hamas militants. On the next day, Hamas began taking responsibility for new rockets attacks, and the Israelis then launched Protective Edge.
All the three reports above did not name sources for the claims that Israel knew about the killing and that the murder was not Hamas related. Yesterday BBC journalist Jon Donnison was the first to get an on-the-record quote from an Israeli official:
Israeli police MickeyRosenfeld tells me men who killed 3 Israeli teens def lone cell, hamas affiliated but not operating under leadership1/2
Seems to contradict the line from Netanyahu government. 2/2
Israeli police spokes Mickey Rosenfeld also said if kidnapping had been ordered by Hamas leadership, they’d have known about it in advance.
It is obvious that Netanyahoo’s war on Gaza, which has so far killed over 1,000 Palestinians, is a war of aggression justified with false claims about a crime which had no connection whatsoever with Hamas or the people of Gaza.
But the United States government, and its various client states (who very likely knew all this since June 12) is still claiming that Israel is only exercising its “right to defend” itself and should be allowed to continue to do so.

Why does the US support Israel to the hilt?
The answer is simple.
US government *foreign policy* is divided between State, and Defense (sic).
State are Ivy League whores. We all know that.
Look at them. Albright, whore. Rice, whore. Clinton, whore. Kerry-Kohn, whore. Whores to power over human life, and of course, massive rewards of their position viz The Chosen.
Clinton went from $-35M in debt for her failed presidential campaign, then to the largest world tour of any State Secretary, ever, selling pay-for-play access, as she grifted $5B stolen out of Americans’ last life savings from US Humanitarian Aid funds to Afghanistan, and gave it directly to Hamid Karzai’s Bank of Kabul.
UK’s Miliband was her grift accomplice, another Chosen, and his career blossomed as well.
When Karzai lost it all on Dubia R/E scams, Clinton flew back to Kabul and grifted him with another $3.5B, to prevent audit of Bank of Kabul’s collapse, so as not to reveal the money trail. $8.5B. She retired as Secretary after ‘undisclosed benefactors’ paid off her $-35M campaign fund, with $50 MILLION, after four years in Federal service. $85 M total grift, out of $8.5 B grifted to Karzai. The One Percent Club. Are you getting any of this?
This was all done in plain view, in the nightly news, without any connect-the-dots subtext.
Defense is all about MIC, but there’s a deeper subtext: the Future Warrior, the Invincible ‘300’ Titan, the Onward Christian Soldier rabbinical Theocracy every bit as powerful as the Talibans’. Those lower level E’s don’t believe this shit, they’re like you and me, …it’s the OFFICERS, the O’s, the ones with fat salaries, and uplift, and local cost risers, and free housing and utilities on base, subsidized food and fuel, a Club Fed fantasy Disneyland suburb carved out in 800 foreign lands, …those are the ones who are the rabbinicals.
And why not? Look at Petraeus, paid millions, on multiple corporate boards, ‘teaching’ (sic) at prestigious colleges. Every Admiral, and there are a 1000, every General, and more than 1000, receives $250,000 a year, for life, all expenses paid, free airfare anywhere in the world, any time, whether they have a post or whether they’re just killing time on the golf course, it’s in their Federal contract. There are more Admirals than fighting ships, more Generals than fighting platoons. More than the Soviets ever had. Think about that.
Then add crazies in Fundie-Christian Air Force Academy, the nutjobs at Fundie-Christian West Point, add the real wackos who hijacked six nuclear cruise missiles in Minot, and the foaming at the mouth Apocalyptics who believe in an alphabet soup of Old Testament, Talmud, and Satanic ritual (Google Presidio), who are ready to carpet bmob on command, anywhere.
There are at any moment 80,000+ Federal jobs held exclusively for TS/SCI clearance military officers as ‘security analysts’ paying six figure salaries. Just Indeed.com ‘FEMA’ or ‘DHS’.
So why does the US support Israel to the hilt?
1)LIFELONG JOB SECURITY;
2)PAYS SO DOGGONE WELL;
3)POWER OF LIFE OR DEATH.
You’re no longer part of the System.
You’re above the System. Over it. Beyond it.
You’re “them.” You’re “they.” You are the Blue Team. The Right Stuff.
And you make this look good.

Tor(as you call yourself today)
Neither of these views, which you attribute to me as quotations, is actually mine:
“They are ALL morons, so they cannot organise anything nefarious” …”It’s all just a result of their Incompetence, there’s no forethought or planning in anything they do”
Nor do they represent my views.
Underneath your juvenile insolence, and transparent dishonesty, there is however a serious political point.
Mistaken, but widely shared, it is that all of the actions of the US government and its imperial agents are not only carefully planned and faithfully executed, but that they all slot precisely into a master plan for hegemony which, it can only be a matter of time, will surely succeed.
My view is that, on the contrary, the US attempt to achieve global hegemony is bound to fail and that every day brings new evidence that this is so.
The Empire is failing because, in a word, its leaders suffers from Hubris.
They think that, because they can get away with anything domestically, they can do the same internationally.
They consider themselves too powerful, militarily, to need to be clever.
They make dumb mistakes because they don’t think that it matters if they make mistakes. They hire cronies who don’t speak Arabic and rely on Wikipedia for their knowledge of Islam, to represent them in Arabia because they don’t think that, once the Sauds and a handful of emirs have been talked to, Arab opinion is worth understanding.
They listen into Merkel’s cell phone because..Why Not? She can’t stop them. Germany lost the war didn’t it?
And when the news is made public, they don’t apologise because who is going to make them?
They simultaneously affront Russia, Iran and China not to push them together into a coalition but because it doesn’t occur to them that if they want to intimidate Russia it serves their purpose to make Moscow believe that, once again, a la Kissinger/Nixon, they are bringing China into the US camp.
They insist that Germany agree to a blockade of Russia because they have no conception of the possibility that, rather than follow orders (tactlessly and humiliatingly issued) Germany might just say NO, because it has interests of its own that war with Russia would not advance.
They push Sisi, the Sauds and the scum running the UAE, to give full support to the assault on Gaza, not because that support is critical to the success of Israeli arms, but in defiance of the clear fact that the result of making them accessories to the crime will inevitably make the survival of their regimes much more difficult.
It is all very well for those who regard every consequence of US policy to have been planned in advance (The Iraq war was a total success! The situation in Afghanistan is precisely what Washington was aiming for! Libya is just where we want it to be!) to denounce those who suggest otherwise as being unaware of the world reach of the Masonic order or the cunning of the Illuminati, not to mention the ubiquity of Zionists, what you don’t explain is how the Empire of your dreams, where everything is perfectly co-ordinated and everyone is onside, could possibly be defeated. Maybe you have given up on that and confine your energies to hammering “pompous” people on the internet
The truth is that the clowns running the Empire, including Netanyahu and Obama, are evil, capable of causing enormous havoc, killing people by the million but they will not prevail because their policies are self defeating, suicidal.
If these people knew what they were doing they would be shoring up support at home, instead of piling up combustibles besides the explosion shortly due; crying crocodile tears over Gaza, rather than laughing in the lawnchairs as the bombs fall; and dividing the world community instead of applauding as it lines up against them.
When the US is on its own in the UN, the only country among fifty voting (or abstaining) against the resolution on Gaza, it is weakening its position, making hegemony harder to achieve, driving its friends into the arms of its enemies, not being very clever.
“Oh no” protests Tor (as he calls himself today) “it is all part of the master plan. These people know everything. Nothing happens without them wanting it to. They were behind the events of 9/11, every one of them. Oh yeah and Snowden was a plant. And Saigon was evacuated because…And the US was never really in favour of Jonas Savimbi in Angola. When the Cubans won, it was because Washington wanted it. As to the end of Apartheid- that was totally US policy. Just like the Tahrir Square protests…all part of the lizards’ (or should that be Lizard’s) plan.”
