Note today marks the 6th months of hostilities since the violent assault on worshipers at the Al-Aqsa Holy Site on 2.Oct 2023.
Very few observers believed the Arab resistance could withstand a full scale IDF invasion at the beginning of this. Hardly anyone imagined 6 months into a full scale war, the resistance fighters would still be defeating IDF regular units Mano-a-Mano.
The IDF has been revealed to be a poorly trained and horribly led military, whose soldiers are oblivious to the most basics of soldiering – don‘t bunch up, 360 degree eyeballs, and always support your armor. The poor quality of the IDF fighting units is perhaps the biggest surprise of the last 6 months.

People don’t understand it is the US controlling Israel, and pushing them into a Middle Eastern War, not the other way around. US will only provide an umbrella to Israel and will not be on the forefront fighting Iran. Israel will do the dirty work for the USA.

The Zionists and their apologists are out in force today over the deaths of staff from the World Central Kitchen, but all is not what it seems, yes the Zionists bomb any vehicles or people they wish with impunity, however there’s a big outcry over this bombing because they bombed their OWN.
Both the (US) and Israel gave the nod to the World Central Kitchen (WCK) to set up because its funded by them the goal of the (WCK) is to usurp the UNRWA, the (WCK) founder, the (US) State Department-linked Spanish celebrity chef José Andrés was allowed to build a jetty off the coast of Gaza using rubble from the building in Gaza which contains human remains.
“The operation appears designed to serve as a stopgap measure to provide minimal quantities of food to Gaza’s famine-stricken population until the US military finishes building a pier in the Mediterranean Sea, and a shadowy contractor run by former US Marines and CIA officials is able to implement an aid program called “Blue Beach Plan.” ”
Anders (WCK) before the sudden switch to providing aid to Gaza, spent weeks supplying the IDF with food and supplies just after the Oct 7th attacks. José Andrés even attacked Spain’s then minister for Social Justice Ione Belarra when she spoke out of the ongoing genocide in Gaza, Andrés vehemently defended Israel’s and Tel Aviv’s actions post-Oct 7th.
Andrés said:
“Do you also support Russia? Who has killed children and women and old people and civilians?” Andrés continued. “Are you Pro @KremlinRussia_E and Pro Hamas? You do not represent me or Spain. She does not deserve to be a minister…. President [Sanchez] should remove her from her position…”

According to the Guardian (https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/apr/03/israel-gaza-ai-database-hamas-airstrikes), if one reads between the lines, AI dystopia has been unleashed upon the population of Gaza in seemingly technologically unprecedented fashion. The West, beginning with the US Pentagon, is clearly using Gaza as live testing ground for AI and robot driven terrorizing and decimation of unruly Global South populations. In this regard the historic victimization of Jews at the hands of some of most important states in the West itself is the transparent Trojan Horse used by the West to repeat the same racialized imperialist massacres of the past. Here the two pretexts or justification for wars designed to perpetuate Western hegemony in the Middle East meet in perfect confluence: terrorism and the uniqueness of the Jewish case of victimization. This is clearly a case of Israel being used by the West, beginning with the US, as an exculpatory weapon for visiting Armageddon on the anti-imperialist majorities constitutive of the populations of the Middle East, precisely because of the continuing vital importance of the region for global supremacy by the West. Needless to say, this is why Israel and only Israel is permitted to hold the nuclear sword of Damocles over the entire region, because the region is in effect a prisoner of an artificial neocolonial micro state, without which the West’s ability of dividing and conquering in the region would be much diminished.

Dave you are right on.
Israel is just another proxy army for the Empire (like the Ukrainians, like the Afghanis, like the South Vietnamese, like the South Koreans et al) so they can retain their hegemony; the Empire telegraphs it is the other way around(nice try)such that many dupes believe this ‘political camouflage’.

Is there evidence that Israel actually has nukes? Evidence that might include how they got them? Because unless a nuclear power simply handed over the components, or entire warheads, there should a major footprint, and I’ve never seen anyone mention where Israel gets its yellow cake, how and where it refines weapons-grade fissiles, etc. Since the vaunted Iron Dome system is actually built in the US, where is the Israeli industrial capability to build nuclear missiles (their deterrent is currently advertised as being sub-launched ballistic missiles). What is the story behind these German-made Dolphin-class submarines for this little fleet? What Germany claims to have built is not capable of launching nuclear missiles. Is there evidence that the Israeli’s performed the necessary modifications, which would be extensive?
It seems to me that there should be considerable direct evidence for Israeli nuclear capabilities, but I am not aware of any.

Israel is indeed LOSING in Gaza… and THAT is an American problem because Israel, by way of dual citizens, has long ago bought and paid for the U.S. Congress.
Israel is a massive American problem because (1) the U.S. supplies weapons and ammo to Israel; and (2) the IDF tends to operate in accordance with the U.S. military doctrine, i.e. air supremacy guarantees victory… the same doctrine that has proven wrong in Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan, etc.
Consequently, a losing Israel means another American military defeat… both in terms of doctrine and also of weapons effectiveness. Just as we have seen in Ukraine, NATO is NOT EVEN a PAPER TIGER… and American weapons are not effective in prolonged combat with a competent adversary.
In Gaza, just as in Ukraine, the U.S. has caused the deaths of thousands (hundreds of thousands in Ukraine) and has NOTHING to show for it… NOTHING. And, while the US can walk away from Ukraine, it can’t do so in Israel…
The IDF upcoming defeat in Gaza, and possibly against Hezbollah, will usher in a new military era… US is not a good ally: US weapons are ineffective against a prepared enemy; US military doctrine is combat ineffective. The US military is a “BOMB AND RUN” franchise… It has no capacity to achieve victory on the battlefield nor staying power. The US military is barely an expeditionary force capable of handling skirmishes against third world countries.

This is without a doubt one of the most important pieces of reporting on Gaza, and by far one of the most disturbing: https://972mag.com/lavender-ai-israeli-army-gaza/
All by Israeli journalist @yuval_abraham
based on whistleblower accounts from within the IDF and intelligence agencies.
Israel has developed an AI called “Lavender” to generate kill lists, with almost no human verification to double check the targets selected by the machine: only a a “rubber stamp” check of about “20 seconds” just to make sure the AI target is male.
Moreover, the Israeli army “systematically attacked the targeted individuals while they were in their homes — usually at night while their whole families were present — rather than during the course of military activity”. In fact Israel developed another automated system called “Where’s Daddy?” used “specifically to track the targeted individuals and carry out bombings when they had entered their family’s residences” 🤮
One of the intelligence officers who spoke to Abraham is quoted in the article: “We were not interested in killing [Hamas] operatives only when they were in a military building or engaged in a military activity. On the contrary, the IDF bombed them in homes without hesitation, as a first option. It’s much easier to bomb a family’s home. The system is built to look for them in these situations.”
In fact the article reveals a ratio, I think for the first time: “according to two of the sources, the army also decided during the first weeks of the war that, for every junior Hamas operative that Lavender marked, it was permissible to kill up to 15 or 20 civilians… The sources added that, in the event that the target was a senior Hamas official with the rank of battalion or brigade commander, the army on several occasions authorized the killing of more than 100 civilians in the assassination of a single commander.”
A ratio of 20 civilians killed for one target works out to about 95% civilian deaths.
Please do read the whole article as it describes in details how the whole process works with the Lavender AI. It’s industrialized extermination the likes of which we haven’t seen since… you know when.

Evidently people are noting that at least in the case of WCK Western ex military were operating in Gaza, this perhaps begs the question how many Western ex military are likely operating in Gaza, how common is this, how many Western ex military humanitarians have been killed in Gaza so far? Could the presence of these British ex military security personnel in the WCK convoy have precipitated the Israeli attack precisely bc Israel did not want to share the Gaza ‘killing fields’ with foreign (ex) military, regardless of how friendly the mission and countries of origin, because such Western ex military might still be active intelligence assets for countries that, despite being the closest allies with Israel, are still by definition foreign and thus capable of extracting intelligence that Israel does not want extracted?

It was evident in the first month or two that the Israelis were targeting “suspects” in their homes, at night, and therefore wiping out extended families. This should be understood as wholesale murder, however rules of engagement involving so-called collateral casualties were transformed (“loosened”) two decades ago by Israel’s chief sponsor the United States, for use in Iraq. This was brought to attention by a devastating strike on a restaurant where Saddam was believed to have been dining, killing dozens (in the aftermath the Americans collected what DNA samples they could find in an effort to identify Hussein’s literal “remains”). It was revealed soon after this macabre event that such a strike was considered perfectly legal by U.S. military, with the proviso that potential strikes which could kill 30 or more bystanders would need SecDef Rumsfeld’s personal okay ahead of launch.
Note that State Department spokesperson Kirby asserted just a day or two ago that State was “unaware” of any breach of humanitarian law by Israel over these past months.

If Iran wanted to retaliate strategically, it should take out Israel’s apartheid border walls with precision strikes. How can Biden respond without exposing his double standards since his 2024 presidential campaign theme is “only racist Trump voters support border walls.” Besides being a symbolic retaliatory target for Iran, it has the added bonus of exposing the hypocrisy of Genocide Joe

Just a thought regarding the lavender system in place doing targeting. Add that to where was that during Oct 7 ? Part of the high tech gulag enforcement we are told about that was suddenly down for maintenance or off having coffee to not alert that there were “targets” swarming about in a mass towards the other high tech security fence. No alerts that hundreds of fighters all holding weapons walking about . If it’s down to targeting individuals it certainly failed that day

Posted by: Hankster | Apr 3 2024 22:40 utc | 55

Seconding Hankster with this quote by Thierry Meyssan:
“To sow confusion, Western media attribute the October 7 operation to Hamas alone. It’s wrong. Islamic Jihad and the Marxist PFLP also participated. This was the first joint action by the different factions of the Palestinian Resistance in fifteen years.
It is difficult to understand, but Hamas is divided in two: on one side the leaders loyal to the Muslim Brotherhood and the Anglo-Saxons, on the other those who joined the Palestinian Resistance. The former fought with the Israelis against the Syrian Arab Republic, while the latter reconciled with President Basher al-Assad last year. The first are terrorists, the second Resistance fighters.
Benjamin Netanyahu knew at least a year in advance that Hamas was preparing the October 7 operation. Not only did he do nothing to prevent it, but also, during the summer, he fired his defense minister who asked too many questions. On October 6, Netanyahu allowed the men guarding the Gaza border to abandon their posts and leave to celebrate a religious holiday. Obviously, the historic current of Hamas and Benjamin Netanyahu jointly organized the attack of October 7, of which the Jewish opposition on the (kibbutzs) kibbutz was the main victim.”

Okay, let’s having killed some Generals + Officers of “OUR” Forces ..

AFAIK, they’ve never tested a nuclear weapon, nor mounted one on a missile or any other delivery system.

The Nuclear Explosion That Makes US Aid to Israel Illegal

The report concluded, “Indeed, of all the countries which might have been responsible for the 22 September event, Israel would probably have been the only one for which a clandestine approach would have been virtually its only option.” And President Carter noted in his White House dairy at the time, “We have a growing belief among our scientists that the Israelis did indeed conduct a nuclear test explosion in the ocean near the southern end of Africa.”

Ritter had a cool, analytic take on the Iranian attack: Israel has everyplace “wired;”** it was not just an Iranian general, it was a meeting of the commanders of the Yemen, the Hezbollah, the Syria actions that were killed. Ritter said it was pretty stupid of Iran to have all these important people, who take a long time (and drink a lot of tea) to establish the relationships that make their way of war work. Israel weighed the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to take out so many significant parts of the Iranian management, against the opprobrium of RoW (about which Isr gives not a sh&t). Iran will not react immediately because it will have to re-group, rebuild its network.
Mark Wauck referenced John Helmer’s views on Russia’s way of war, that Ukraine & NATO have not figured out: it’s electrical: Russia systematically fries Ukraine electrical capacity; can’t even charge a cellphone.
Iranians are out-of-the-box thinkers. Look for Israeli planes to suddenly lose navigation function in midflight and commit suicide (or KeyBridge-a-cide).

What does “The Empire” gain from Israel that it cannot accomplish itself?
Israel has never fought for a US interest; no Israel soldier has shed a drop of Chosen blood on behalf of USA.
But the opposite is true: US has expended treasure and blood in furtherance of the Israeli agenda and for Israel’s “security.”
In Gulf War I, which was urged by neocons (which = Israel firsters), Israel was required to stay out of the conflict but protected by US Patriot batteries. When the Patriot system malfunctioned, 37 Americans died. One or two Israelis died — of heart attacks.

The self reinforcing Jewish Israeli “Positive Feedback Murder Loop”:
Step 1: Commit an arbitrary act of murder in your moments of insecurity and paranoia (Excuse: “Iran was planning something”)
Step 2: Iran/Hamas/Hezbollah does nothing, deeming it a trap or provocation.
Step 3: Wonder why the other side is not responding. Become more paranoid because of this.
Step 4: Driven by Paranoia, move to “heightened alert” in anticipation of a big retaliation.
Step 5: Nothing happens.
Step 6: Unable to stand the suspense, create an even bigger provocation, killing as many civilians and violating as many international laws as possible.
Step 7: Iran/Hamas/Hezbollah mouth a few words of anger and make oblique threats of future retaliation.
Step 8: Take this threat as a clear and present danger and move to an even higher level of alert. Demand more weapons from the USA in anticipation of a big strike by Iran/Hamas/Hezbollah …
Step 9: Repeat from Step 1, with more intensity this time!

It’s a waste of time and reasoning to debate whether the blood-sucking funnel or the tentacles of a giant kraken are most responsible for your imminent demise.
Is the John or the prostitute more responsible for getting f@cked? And who is f@cking whom?
Clearly, we are dealing with a criminal symbiosis here, of multi-generational duration.
It stops when its own internal dynamic destroys itself by the undermining of its physical and economic security.
In that regard, factoids to follow:
1) growing emigration from Israel (like in Ukraine, hitting the EU with a double-whammy);
2) the de-industrialization of Israel, the EU, and the US, undermining economic security;
3) growing internal divisions. (I know it’s a shock, but some humans actually object to genocide);
4) increasing confidence in the global majority as they watch the defeat of empire proxies in Ukraine and the ME and the empire itself in the Red Sea by barefooted goat-herders;
5) the impressive and continuing failure of censorship;
6) the collapse of the charade of democracy in the US, EU, and Israel, with choices between Pepsi and Coke;
7) inability to compete economically with China and militarily with low-tech counter-measures;
8) complete collapse of moral credibility;
9) increasing loss of control over the international justice system;
10 more people, corporations, and countries taking BDS seriously.
I know I’ve undoubtedly left some important stuff out, but you get the idea. By themselves, any one of these factors is not enough to collapse the prevailing world order of the last 500 years. But if you add them up and put them together…

Fascinating historical testimony: Avi Pazner, the former Israeli ambassador to France, recounts a meeting in which Chirac directly told Netanyahu — whom he really didn’t like — “I do not believe a word that comes out of your mouth. Your entire policy consists of provoking the Palestinians.”
In Pazner’s words, among “hundreds of conversations between heads of states” that he’d personally witnessed, he had “never witnessed a conversation like this one”. Netanyahu “turned all white” as Chirac – himself “red with anger” – said that and after the meeting was finished Netanyahu heaved a big sigh: “Thank goodness it’s over”.

Posted by: Hankster | Apr 3 2024 22:40 utc | 58 If the Lavender AI system can target individuals in their homes, it certainly failed that day. Not so sure it failed, I read both sides eliminated many people on Oct 7 and it was said Israeli forces eliminated Israelis as well. If so, then, in my mind, that implicates what was not known until now, the Lavender automated assassination system? I understand that this thread has exposed that Lavender is able to locate, target, schedule assassination and execute scheduled assassinations of targeted individuals because it knows where every individual is most of the time? Hypothesis that the persons killed by Israelis were victims of Lavender? once Gaza was depopulated and oil and gas operations begin [those eliminated knew too much or they were eliminated because they had too great a share or something]? Maybe the murdered Israelis had deeds or titles to hydrocarbon rich land under Gaza? In a chaos enabled environment, something as powerful as Lavender could permit a few persons, to eliminate a lot of important targets without exposing themselves? An automated assassination system, implemented in software and hardware, able to find, select out, target and execute, a corporate president, a political leader, a religious leader, or wealthy dissent, a home maker who purchases the wrong brand of laundry soap, etc. could be invaluable to those trying to clear Gaza of all un needed people.

The US, today, has only expeditionary land troops not withstanding the the US public won’t put up with American body bags so proxy armies are required.
The Anglo/Zionists who run the West don’t give a hoot about the Jewish religion or any other religion for that matter.
The Israeli aggression is a reckless gambit to start a wider war; so far the Axis aren’t taking the bait.
Anyways, that’s my opinion .

Menz 98. Need to verify Canada closed that embassy in 2102 . Diplomatic staff left at beginning of “assad must go”
Or so I thought. Might have had local staff maintaining property though out
