A Few Notes On The War On Palestine

Having been lightly prodded by the Biden administration the Netanyahoo regime in Palestine agreed to split its days into a 20 hours block dedicated to genociding Palestinians and a 4 hours block for ethnic cleansing.

Israel agrees to 4-hour daily pauses in Gaza fighting to allow civilians to flee, White House saysChicago Tribune, Nov 9 2023

Neighbor countries have rejected to accept ethic cleansed Palestinians from Gaza. This leaves Netanyahoo with no real plan for what is to happen with Gaza. He is changing his war aims by the minute.

Netanyahu says not seeking to ‘occupy’ Gaza but ‘demilitarise’ itAlJazeera, Nov 10 2023

> Netanyahu’s comments come days after he said Israel would take responsibility for Gaza’s security for an “indefinite period” after the end of its war with Hamas, prompting pushback from the United States. <

Meanwhile it has become obvious that many of the casualties of the Palestinian Al-Aqsa flood were killed by indiscriminate fire from Israeli Apache helicopters as well as its ground troops.

Craig Murray's Twitter account has been hacked to discredit him.

The Curious Hacking of @craigmurrayorg – Craig Murray, Nov 10 2023

Day by day the members of the resistance axis in Palestine, Lebanon, Iraq and Yemen are taking steps up the escalation ladder.

Ibn Riad – ابن رياض @IbnRiad – 20:48 UTC · Nov 9, 2023

In the context of this equation, we need to understand that every single faction of the wider Resistance Axis is holding back an significant amount of their capabilities and firepower, to be brought to bear in further stages of escalation, and especially in the case of total war.

The message to the U.S. and Israel is 'bring it on'.

November pogroms of 1938, Today, this crime against humanity is being cited by German politicians and the media to justify another war crime: the extermination and expulsion of the Palestinians in Gaza.
Green Party Vice-Chancellor Robert Habeck threatened that “Muslims living here” would lose their “right to protection from right-wing extremist violence” if they did not “clearly distance themselves from anti-Semitism” – an open invitation for neo-Nazis to terrorise migrants.

Brian Berletic believes that the other Arb countries and groups won’t intervene because they do not want to help Hamas. Yet, this article seems to say that they might intervene. Very confusing.

I suppose that the Axis of Resistance needs to realize it is time to put up or shut up.
Obviously, the IDF did not bomb the Episcopal hospital…they would never go for hospitals…
https://www.foxnews.com/live-news/november-10-israel-hamas-war
The stupid CIA whores on Chicks on the Right(of fellating Jews) claims the hospital bombing by IDF, was “thoroughly debunked”.
I watched the damn time stamped video of the hospital attack…no misfired pipe bomb rocket did that.

Unfortunately you no longer have to make it up: the zionist media has gone mad as it begins to realise how vulnerable they are.
Ibn Raid’s ‘escalation ladder’ tweets demonstrate that Israeli flailings have become predictable, which is what The Cradle article tells us.
Israel has lost control of the narrative by going too far too often.
The case of the ‘biggest massacre of Jews since the Holocaust” is one example: counting very roughly, the very rough figure of 1400 ‘murders’ by Hamas now seems to have dissolved completely:
not 1400 but 900 killed; half of them combatants; leaving less than 500 most of whom appear to have been killed by IDF strikes. As to actual killings of civilians- who seem to have been few and far between outside of the Rave festival- it is not clear whether there were any at all.

What astounds me the most is the lockstep narrative regarding the notion that all Palestinian supporters are terrorists and that isreal has the right to self defense, and that those are the only two sides. Of course this is more of the same: you are either with us or you are against us, and the BiPolar Vortex etc. which are fixtures in Western culture. As with the global covid gaslighting, this narrative is being lofted by the MSM and they area using full spectrum dominance to virtually eliminate any other voices. Of course I reliable there is more to it than that, but massive swarming effect I see happening is truly impressive.
All the sayanim ,unit 8200 (or whatever) and every troll farm on line is on full throttle.
At the risk of sounding like a doomer, this conflict viewed more broadly seems like it is for most if not all the marbles. At least everyone with some skin in the game appears to have showed up for the party… Assuming it does kick off and escalate, there is going to be a metric shit’ton of pent up and highly pressurized intent released. So many groups have been waiting for this moment, and now they are prepared. I suppose what i am saying is that there will be a drive to beat the opponent down such that they will not be able to get back up again. I think is is clear to most that the USA is on it’s denouement, and that it’s status as a fatted calf will be used to it’s utmost in a final orgy of destruction.
Nations that have been threatened, wrecked and throttled by the USA are likely aware of this and if the must go all in I’ll bet they will make it count as it is a fight for existence. There is also the factor that it is clear that the USA (or is the handlers?) will not stop until they are physically unable to continue. “7 countries in 5 years” may not have played out exactly but the blueprint is still very much on the sand table.

At this point we’re going to have to revisit the Protocols of the Elders of Zion to ask whether it was a hoax from the Tzar or minutes from a meeting. Because it should be quite clear who runs ‘the west’ system of sham ‘democracies.’

In a rare, candid conversation, Abby Martin interviews a former Israeli Army combat soldier who served as an occupier in Palestine’s Hebron City. Eran Efrati spent years as a sergeant and combat soldier in the Israeli military, but has since become an outspoken critic of the occupation of Palestine and Israeli apartheid.
Efrati gives explosive testimony on the reality of his service and explains how war crimes are institutionalized,

Here’s a poem I created using quotes from the Balfour Declaration and the Declaration of Independence
I guess it all started with Balfour Declaration
England would support a new Jewish nation
but we forget they included the condition
“nothing shall be done which may
prejudice the civil and religious rights of
existing non-Jewish” Palestinian population”
PREJUDICE was all the Palestinians got
driven out of their homes in the Nakba
dispossessed, attacked, made to run to run away
750.000 dispossessed by Plan Dalet
Sderot and Askelon on ashes of Palestinian towns
Fenced in Gaza forced to watch you play around
springs, fields and reap from trees you took away
for seventy five years you prayed we’d go away
We call them evil terrorists,
when we did the same over a tax on tea
America, thy name is spelled
HYPOCRISY
“it’s self-evident, all men are equal,
endowed by our Creator
with unalienable Rights,
Life, Liberty and pursuit of Happiness
to secure these rights,
Governments are instituted
among Men; (ahem and women)
Deriving their powers from the
consent of the governed,
when any Form of Government becomes destructive
it is the Right of the People to alter,
or to abolish it,
and to institute new Government”
When a long train of abuses
reduces to absolute Despotism
it is their right, it is their duty,
to throw off such Government,
and provide new Guards for their security
Such has been the sufferance of these Colonies;”
If that works for you then you know it works for me
Everyone needs equal rights from the river to the sea.

There will be no escalation and no expansion of the conflict. This was made clear enough by the Hizbollah guy last Friday. Berletic was so depressed that his video was sad to see (not really, I had fun). Pity him, also because I seem to remember he had forecast a huge conflict if Israel dares to enter Gaza. Iran clearly told his Rottweiler that he is requested to stay chained, and bark on command.
What there will be instead is face-saving diplomatic measures and military skirmishes, here and there, meant to show that the Arab countries really care for the Palestinians, which we all know is rubbish.
Iran clearly has no appetite for the Big Fight. Smart guys, if you ask me.
How will it end? As I have already told it would: Israeli will go on giving Hamas a new ass for as long as the US allow them. Which will be late enough to leave Hamas very gravely damaged and wondering (the survivors) what the heck has happened as all their allies have given them only words instead of deeds.
The US can be militarily humiliated by Russia every day of the week; but they are still strong enough to give Iran quite a punishment.

Janet@4
All on the Arab side understand that intevention now is exactly what the US wants. And has been aiming at. In a sense the genocide is aimed at provoking a reaction that would allow Israel to expand it and complete it.
Is this sensible? No.
Everyone assumes that the US is being guided by a cabal of advisors doing wwhat Biden cannot any longer do himself. But they assume that the said cabal adds up to something more than the original Joe. It doesn’t. It adds up to a Frankenstein presidency lacking even the most corrupted, debauched, shredded remnants of humanity.
The US is being run by a committee of careerists without consciences, people who would kill, cook and eat their own grandmothers to promote themselves.
It amounts to the fact that the White House is the only place on earth where the urgent need for a Ceasefire is not glaringly obvious.

That has been clear since October 7. First hours of atrocity claims in any conflict, any conflict at all, may be assumed to be 100% false. Only fools believe such claims. Those who continue to act on such claims a minths later, are not fools, they are complicit.
I would have guessed perhaps 14 out of 1400 might have occurred.Merely for verisimiltude some genuine casualties should have been made to happen. If you say “it si not clear whether there were any at all” I will believe that.

In a sense the genocide is aimed at provoking a reaction that would allow Israel to expand it and complete it.

Transparently obvious from the beginning with the carrier groups. Maerican strategists must think they’re clever but they have all the nuance of a wrecking ball. If I can divine their intent without any special intelligence access from day 1 imagine what people who do this for a living can determine.
Its for this reason Genocide Joe and the rest of the war criminals are against any ceasefire. They are planning to escalate atrocities until someone intervenes. Its not going to happen. They will drown in the blood of Palestinians. Israel has forever assumed the mantle of the inheritors of the Nazis.
So next step is Gulf of Tonkin replay.. these people are nothing if not predictable.. but that carries a big risk of getting caught in such a highly surveilled region.

So next step is Gulf of Tonkin replay.. these people are nothing if not predictable.. but that carries a big risk of getting caught in such a highly surveilled region.

Naledi Pandor articulates South Africa’s official position on Isreal’s actions;
South Africa Takes Bold Stand! | Calls ICC to Arrest Netanyahu
It is a powerful speech because it is something one would have hoped to here from a Western leader, perhaps at some point in the past it might have been delivered by a Western leader:
It projects a moral framework which would once have epitomized the “Western System of Values”.
That system of values is absent from the West and seems to have migrated to the South of Africa and embedded itself in the person of Naledi Pandor.
At some points an Afrikaner member of parliament, clearly still marinated in the soup of Afrikaner Supremacy yet allowed to haunt the halls of South African power, challenges her debunk of the beheaded babies lie at which point she consigns his attempted challenge to the bin with unmatched sophistication.
I hope the future Palestinian State,having achieved it’s primacy over the occupation, like South Africa, will keep a few right wing Jews around in their parliament to represent the remaining poor, penniless zionists that don’t manage to flee.

Thanks for your well reasoned comment. Zionism is one of several forms of extremism that builds on what appears to be nationalism but isn’t. We see the same tenets in Nazism and the extremism that emboldened Daesh–all promote their believers to be Chosen and Exceptional. In the same manner we can include American Exceptionalism and Hindu Exceptionalism. Those are the extremist beliefs that Russia spoke at length about well prior to its SMO; when you look back at what was said during the Syrian intervention about the terrorists, you’ll find very similar descriptions. Indeed, many of us at the time saw the equivalence between the extremism of Daesh and that of Zionism and said so.
Of course, Zionism needed some form of nation to become an extreme nationalism, and that’s what’s occurred–Occupied Palestine was born via extremism and has been perpetuated by extremism. As noted here by many over the years, the Narrative has always sought to overturn the Truth about who/what is the Terrorist by targeting the Palestinians while absolving the Zionists to the point of saying the Zionists have the right to commit Genocide in “self-defense” while the Palestinians must accept their fate and lambs of sacrifice.
As for the Arc of Resistance bidding their time, that’s been declared the proper approach by many–to slowly boil the “occupation frog” as Crooke put it yesterday. Words no longer work to appease the Global Majority demanding an end to this Genocide, and for every hour it continues, global opinion further darkens, and the distinction between Zionists and Jews and Americans will further narrow until they are all considered to be the same monstrous creatures to be ostracized. That political reality has yet to be made clear but is rapidly coalescing as we’re beginning to see via actions/attacks globally.

Israel’s central bank has announced that genocide is expensive! NATOstan taxpayers please help out.
Listening to latest Ritter on Kim Iversen’s Rumble (32-59 min), I got the impression that 2003 invasion of Iraq was planned as soon as GWar1 …ended and that UN mechanisms (with or without participants’ knowledge) are used even more cynically than I’d imagined to ensure success. The UN’s only goal is maintaining Empire.
When UN weapons inspectors go in they probably don’t think “my job is to prepare Iraq to be invaded”.
In GWar 1, Ritter was fired from Battle Damage Assessment for asserting that attacks on “Scud launchers” were in fact attacks on civilian fuel tankers. Proved right, reinstated. Harassed again for refusing to falsify info but now has acquired reputation as straight shooter.
Early 90s invited by the people that hated him to do UN weapons inspection in Iraq. Works hard. Gives clean bill of health. (meanwhile unknown to him CIA tries failed assassination attempt on Saddam using Weapons Inspection as cover).
So UN Weapons Inspection first used to render Iraq militarily incapable. Knowing this “WMD” war propaganda is launched with CIA etc. briefing CNN etc. through Operation Mass Appeal before 2003 war.
Netanyahu screamed for Iraq invasion in 2002. Now he’s trying to provoke Iran with the genocide.
Crooke’s podcasts are important because of what he does NOT say: that an occupying power has NO right to self defense + indigenous people DO have the right to armed resistance under international law.
His foreign policy publications and books over the last 15 demonstrate that high level Empire strategy insiders are trying hard to rescue failing colonial projects through creating fear around “clashing values” with the people that happen to sit on oil and gas and are fed up of Empire but not that well armed.
What I hear from UN, WHO, etc, and insiders like Crooke is: “gloves are off”, it’s do or die for Empire. So sorry about the kids. Several hospitals attacked again today. Every war convention torn up.
Someone tell me I’m wrong!!!

“Having been lightly prodded by the Biden administration the Netanyahoo regime in Palestine agreed to split its days into a 20 hours block dedicated to genociding Palestinians and a 4 hours block for ethnic cleansing.”

The narrative of the events of October 7, as conveyed by the Western press/intelligence services (they are one and the same), was one of the most successful instances of gaslighting in 2023. “Such a shame” it had such a short shelf life. Blowback is coming to the political West and its tentacled fascist apparatus, and it’s going to be apocalyptic to a degree not seen in hundreds of years.

I strongly disagree with point 1. Hitler rushing to defend a synagogue? Come on. Then the old canard that the fire was set by Communists. Again, long ago correctly debunked.
However, that wsws article is a ridiculous muddle. It’s like they are trying to oppose the “antisemitism” of a hundred years ago, which is an odd position when Jewish Zionists are currently carrying out something much worse than a pogrom in gaza and the ruling class of every western nation seemingly holds Zionists to be of greater value than their own citizens and really the whole world. It’s a joke.
It’s the same centrist line they adopted at the outset of the war on Russia in Ukraine. Half their articles were a denunciation of Putin’s aggression! The rest of the time and even still as the Ukronazis fold, the articles warn Russia that the US is really going to take off the gloves now. You couldn’t blame anyone reading their coverage of Russia for thinking wsws were rooting for Russia’s defeat at the hands of imperialism.
In the end they have some good writers and articles, they understand Marxism, etc, but I’m convinced elements of the leadership are compromised and screw the political line to alienate just about everyone, remain an impotent sect and ensure no revolutionary development in the west.
Reality: Anti semitism is not a significant problem in the west today. What the RC is concerned with is anti Zionism which is the only righteous position for any wage slave of the west at this point. Anti Zionism will quickly turn into anti western imperialism and they can’t have that, so if Western anti semitisim doesn’t exist, they must invent it.

B is right to point out that Israel’s problems have to do with the refusal of the neighbouring countries to accept the ethnically cleansed Palestinians. Hence the slow pace, to take time to consult, according to NYT, with the allies and a desperate search for a workable strategy.

How can the hippy dippy German environmental freaks and well meaning morons.
Vote for those evil fascist authoritarian fuckers?
It’s beyond comprehension.
Green Party Vice-Chancellor Robert Habeck threatened that “Muslims living here” would lose their “right to protection from right-wing extremist violence” if they did not “clearly distance themselves from anti-Semitism” – an open invitation for neo-Nazis to terrorise migrants.

Having been lightly prodded by the Biden administration the Netanyahoo regime in Palestine agreed to split its days into a 20 hours block dedicated to genociding Palestinians and a 4 hours block for ethnic cleansing.

That is another way of saying what I thought: Continuous murder with lunch breaks. It is truly insane.

So, I read wsws a lot, Kim, and as I said there is some value there. However, do you really think antisemitism is a significant problem in the west today?
I thought that article was muddled centrist crap personally, although I like the author.
There are elements of the SEP leadership that are sort of cryptozionist and it shows through sometimes like when they go off about antisemitism in the midst of a Zionist genocide of Palestinians. Sort of like running articles against anti germanism while the Nazis were killing everyone in the Warsaw ghetto.
Seems odd, doesn’t it?

What caused him [Lindsey Graham] to change his mind???
It’s called getting re elected.
“South Carolina’s senior U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham reportedly may face a Republican challenger when he’s next up for reelection, and at a time some Republicans believe Graham’s position in the party is vulnerable.”

George,
A paragraph and a link will garner more readers. Your long cut and pastes lose readers

No, it loses non-readers. And we have enough of those already.
