Thousands of Palestinian children buried under rubble in Gaza: UNICEF
UNICEF Deputy Executive Director Ted Chaiban highlighted the significant number of child casualties in the Israeli war on the Gaza Strip during a UN Security Council meeting on children and armed conflict on Wednesday. He stressed that thousands of children remain buried under the rubble of destroyed buildings in the Palestinian territory.
Elsewhere in his remarks, he emphasized that Palestinian children are experiencing “incomprehensible suffering,” especially in the Gaza Strip, amid the “staggering” scale of death and destruction…..

The question is when Israel’s industries and infrastructure and energy distribution and water filtration comes under missile attack, wither the Maericans?
Will they vaingloriously come to help Israel fight? Of course they will. Fascism only has one gear. The fact all of this is counterproductive to their interests apparently doesn’t bother anyone, or more likely, thyere too fucking stupid to realize it. The political and military officer class in the West only know which side their bread is buttered.

I tired soon over trying to establish who knew how much when on the israeli side for Oct. 7. 1. Sexism – many of the analysts closest to the data were female. 2.Mid level officers cognitive bias against Palestinians and especially Gazans having the logistics and knowledge to enact a plan. 3. Upper level government is less analytical, they are political animals. Takes a lot to change them. 4. Many times the left hand does not know what the right hand knows.

Thanks for your analysis, thx.
You have certainly heard of the Hannibal Doctrine,
less recognized is the Incompetence Doctrine.
The Incompetence Doctrine permits one to invade Iraq over non-existent WMD,
remove the bubble-dome over JFK’s limousine,
give terrorists visas and flying lessons to knock down three skyscrapers with only two planes…
The Incompetence Doctrine covers up for a lot of real sins.
Heck, in 2006 in the middle of being on full alert over a Hezbollah kidnapping attempt
the IDF transferred the intelligence officer in charge of the compromised sector of the border
and replaced him with one that “didn’t understand the intelligence information he was analyzing”.
Oops, Hezbollah again infiltrated the border and this time succeeded in attacking a border patrol,
and, voila, the invasion of Lebanon (2006) was in high gear.
The Incompetence Doctrine often goes by the old name, “security stand down false-flag” as per September 11th.
The Incompetence Doctrine is assisted by a Warren Commission or September 11th Commission.
Israel will do the same. But you knew that already.

It is all the US is able to do apart from open conflict, and so you can be certain vast amounts of energy is supplied to the endeavours. The US has no alternative but to continue trying to establish, or to maintain what it has established.
Zersetzung (i.e. disruption) of local non complying formation is not costly in comparison to warfare. Corruption of elites neither. Existing or introduced corruption combined with media and seeding ideological revolution disrupts countries.
That is not to say all is negative, there is positive offer from the US but the coercive nature of its approach sullies that.
In most countries the elite are seperate from the remaining population, that would be a few thousand people per country. That is not so hard to infiltrate. Factions can be played to keep each other down. Media control dumbs the rest of the population. Atomisation and destruction of social structure reduces society to compliant.
It is not right to think the US controls where it goes. Instead it holds strong influences and the ability to intervene in various ways.
Theological societies are harder to crack. Hence the Middle East.
Young population or freer (not ‘civilised’) societies are harder to control. Hence Africa, and South America.
Countries that have deep tradition or that are strong hand are harder to infiltrate and disrupt. Hence Russia.
Countries that are ideologically distinct are harder to control. Hence China.
Reality being there is no start or end point to all of this. It might dissipate eventually into a mixed centralised global control, might be displaced by other competing formats such as BRICs, or whatever else can be imagined.
We are walking into the unknown always, anything that seems a resolution is equally a stage for another level of action.
Someone here once asked “What would happen if 80% of the world population disappeared ?”. I thought about that and what came to mind was around 8000 years ago (not long in evolutionary terms) just after the glaciation, the population for all of europe is estimated as a few tens of thousands of people. Yet here we all are.
The point being maybe that it is all “too dangerous to contemplate” 😐 .

I have issue with several parts of the article. Not feeling the energy to get too deep in analysis . . .
Posted by: librul | Jun 27 2024 17:07 utc | 23
====================
Me, too.
Moore is a film maker, not a historian.
For instance, I am not sure Moore’s premise concerning the import of the Jewish boycott of Germany is correct.
But I am also not a Historiker and don’t have time to dig up more sources and analysis on this. I am quite sure that the boycott was viewed by Germans—or exploited by some in Germany—as an attack by international Jewry on the whole country. Which might have been counterproductive for everyone, including Hitler’s foes within Germany. In any case, 1933 was too late for external actions to make much difference, as the totalitarian state was in place very soon after the Machtergreifung.
Makes one wonder about the effectiveness of boycotts . . . Any similarities with sanctions, say, on Russia? They have not brought down Putin, nor Russia, but instead have made the Russians rally around their leader and their country.
Moore only compares the Zionists and the Nazis in terms of their racism—as per usual (see also Adam Shatz’s writings in the London Review of Books). No mention is made of the similarities in their Lebensraum programs: the theft of land for a replacement population. That issue may be left out because the pure racism card is the easiest to play.
But I don’t want to quibble because judging from the comments at CN, this article was a big eye-opener to a lot of CN readers. And interested readers can follow the links to more info on the cynicism and racism of the Zionists going back to the very beginnings of their assault on Palestine.

@ 35.
“Mennonites and Quakers didn’t start out pacifists, they discovered the attractions of a pacific state after getting violently suppressed themselves. (The Mennonites were targeted at and after Jan of Leiden’s uprising in Muenster, the Quakers during the English Civil War, or Puritan Revolution. ”
=================
I am curious as to where Steve gets the idea that Friends were all for violence until they experienced it themselves during the Civil War and made a U-turn. The sect didn’t even exist before the Civil War.
The group eventually known as Quakers emerged during the latter years of the Civil War (1642-51). In the course of the conflict George Fox—mainly traveling about on his own and preaching, refused to take up arms. That doesn’t mean that earlier he would have done so. Friends always refused to engage in violent conflict. (The word “pacifist” was coined much later, in 1901.)
Mainly, the Quakers refused to respect traditional authority, both religious and secular, and didn’t see any need for priests, pastors, or any folderol of religious rituals or for paying tithes, either. The source of human perfection lay within the power of each person, in direct communion with God and His son. That was enough to piss off both traditional religious groups and secular authorities. The Quakers also thumbed their noses at any earthly power, including Cromwell. To a certain extent George Fox, born a Puritan, rebelled against the suffocating Puritan ideologies and practices. Quakers also refused to take oaths to the Crown (or to Cromwell), considering oath-taking to be primitive superstition. They said their personal word was good enough. It was this refusal to kowtow and take oaths but instead to continue to meet openly and defy authority that led to repeated arrests and detentions of George Fox and other Quakers.
It is quite amazing just how how much rage and persecution the Quakers and other sects that just wanted to do their own spiritual thing elicited in the 17th and early 18th centuries.
The Quakers called themselves Friends.

“Quaker” emerged as a derisive nickname for Fox and others who shared his belief in the biblical passage that people should “tremble at the Word of the Lord.” The group eventually embraced the term, although their official name became Religious Society of Friends.”

Since this is a Palestine thread, it is worth mentioning the Ramallah Friends School, founded in 1869.

US Readies To Evacuate Americans From Lebanon If War Erupts, Marines En Route
the quote

With Israel-Hezbollah tensions soaring and the US and European countries urging both sides against an all-out war, the US Embassy in Beirut has issued a new travel advisory warning American citizens to stay away from Lebanon. “We remind US citizens to strongly reconsider travel to Lebanon,” said the fresh notice which follows prior similar alerts. It warned in particular about travel to the south of Lebanon and in border areas with Syria, and to also avoid refugee settlements.
[according to NBC]

The Pentagon is moving U.S. military assets closer to Israel and Lebanon to be ready to evacuate Americans as fighting between Israel and Hezbollah intensifies, according to three U.S. defense officials and a former U.S. official familiar with the plans.
The USS Wasp, an amphibious assault ship, and Marines from the 24th Expeditionary Unit, which is special operations capable, moved into the Mediterranean on Wednesday to join the dock landing ship USS Oak Hill and another ship in their amphibious ready group, according to the Marine Corps. The Wasp will operate in the eastern Mediterranean to be ready for a Military Assisted Departure and other missions, the officials said.

Exclusive: US has sent Israel thousands of 2,000-pound bombs since Oct. 7 Reuters

The Biden administration has sent to Israel large numbers of munitions, including more than 10,000 highly destructive 2,000-pound bombs and thousands of Hellfire missiles, since the start of the war in Gaza, said two U.S. officials briefed on an updated list of weapons shipments.
Between the war’s start last October and recent days, the United States has transferred at least 14,000 of the MK-84 2,000-pound bombs, 6,500 500-pound bombs, 3,000 Hellfire precision-guided air-to-ground missiles, 1,000 bunker-buster bombs, 2,600 air-dropped small-diameter bombs, and other munitions, according to the officials, who were not authorized to speak publicly.

The Israeli Media Company Haaretz Reports that Official Documents Reveal that Israel Had Prior Knowledge of the October 7 Hamas Attack
Paul Craig Roberts

This confirms what I reported at the time, but there is more to the story. Not only did Israel know in advance, Israel participated in the attack upon itself. Several Israeli intelligence officials and commanders of sections of the barrier separating Israel from Gaza have made it clear that it is impossible to even approach, much less penetrate, the barrier without detection. For the October 7 Hamas attack to succeed, the barrier’s alarms had to be turned off and barrier patrols stood down.
At the time I speculated that there was also involvement of the US neoconservatives in the Biden regime. It was a conspiracy with three aims: (1) to solve Netanyahu’s legal and political problems with a crisis; (2) to bring about a final solution to the Palestinian problem, and (3) to expand the war into Lebanon, thus leading to the much desired attack on Iran. Why else were US carrier task forces, fighter aircraft, and troops immediately deployed in the area? Certainly not to help Israel in Gaza.
There is a lot more to this story to come out.

Over 200 Palestinians displaced from Gaza have been given apartments in a newly built neighborhood of Grozny, the capital of Russia’s Muslim-majority Chechen Republic, regional leader Ramzan Kadyrov has announced.
A foundation run by Kadyrov’s mother Aymani commissioned the construction of the five apartment buildings, to permanently house refugees welcomed to the Russian region last November.
“Congratulations to the Palestinian brothers and sisters on finding new comfortable housing! I wish them never to see war again, to live in plenty and prosper!” Kadyrov said in a statement on Friday.
The refugees, who were initially housed in at the Gorny Klyuch children’s resort southeast of Grozny will now move into a ‘cottage community’ in the Visaitovsky District of the Chechen capital, where 209 people will live in 40 new apartments, Kadyrov said.
According to the Chechen head, construction of the complex took about six months. During this time, 55 of the Palestinians found jobs, while their children and teenagers were placed in schools and universities. All of them have been studying Russian.
“Our immediate plans include the creation of a Palestinian community in the Chechen Republic so that refugees can preserve their national identity,” Kadyrov added.

What happens when you [Israel] are no longer feared ?
@Posted by: Exile | Jun 29 2024 13:36 utc | 75
Indeed. I have been thinking along those lines too.
(a lot of whatifs to follow)
Does Iran no longer fear Israel’s nukes?
Let me explain.
WhatIf Pepe Escobar was correct when he reported that Russia shot down a nuke carrying Israeli F-35
that was on it’s way to Iran.
What back channel negotiations took place following that incidence?
Russia couldn’t hope to continue just swatting at Israeli flies as they approached Iran.
One would get through eventually – an untenable situation.
Whatif Russia laid down the law. “No one is using nukes against anyone else. If they do then
they get equal from Russia right back; immediately, with no delay or warning.”
Iran has been in the postion all these years that if they were **actually** – for real, not some NYT
mockingbird accusations, but for real – then Israel would certainly act.
Now, if Russia *did* create new rules about the use of nukes then Iran would be safe(r) to move forward with their nuke development.
Once Iran has nukes then your original question comes into play.
What happens when Israel is no longer feared ?
Just two days ago the NYT published another Iran/nukes article.
Remember that commercial, “is it the real thing or is it Memorex?”?
Same old, same old from the NYT or is it for real this time?

ZH has aposting up with the title
Iran Threatens Israel With ‘Obliterating War’ If It Attacks Lebanon
the quote

Iran’s mission to the United Nations has put Israel and the world on notice, saying that if Israel launches an all-out war against Hezbollah in Lebanon the whole region will burn.
A Friday statement from Iran’s ambassador warned the UN that any “full-scale military aggression” in Lebanon against Hezbollah will mean that “an obliterating war will ensue.”
The Iranian statement continued by emphasizing that “all options, including the full involvement of all resistance fronts, are on the table” in a statement posted to X.
By “resistance fronts” Tehran means the militias it supports in Syria, Iraq, and Yemen will also ramp up their military activities. On a few occasions, Iraqi Shia militias have launched missiles and drones against southern Israel, as have the Houthis, with limited effect.
Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has acknowledged this week that a “seven front war” could open up, in reference to all of Iran’s proxies across the region.
For years already, Israeli jets have been regularly attacking ‘Iranian assets’ inside Damascus, also in a continued effort to weaken Assad, despite the presence of Russia’s military primarily in the northwest coastal region.
Israel has meanwhile continued to pound Hezbollah positions in south Lebanon, amid continued fears of a bigger war at any moment. The US has even sent amphibious military ships closer to Israel and Lebanon in the Eastern Mediterranean to be ready to evacuate Americans if a bigger conflict ensues.
The Israeli Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper wrote Saturday, “In the past few hours, warplanes attacked several Hezbollah targets, including a military site for the organisation in the Zabqin area, two operational infrastructure sites in the Khiam area, and a Hezbollah building in the al-Adissa [Odaisseh] area.”

JUST IN: Israeli Minister of National Security Itamar Ben Gvir:
The Palestinian prisoners must be killed by shooting them in the head, and until passing this law of execution of Palestinian prisoners, we will give them little to live on.

ICC Decision on Arrest Warrants For Israeli Officials Delayed By UK
The International Criminal Court’s (ICC) decision over potential arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant will be delayed for weeks after the UK requested a review by the court on whether it has jurisdiction over Israeli citizens.
The request by the UK tracks closely with arguments made by the Israeli government that international agreements take precedence over the ICC. The Oslo Accords stipulated that the Palestinian Authority has no criminal jurisdiction over Israelis. Since the Palestinian Authority requested that the ICC open an investigation, Israel argues that it violated the agreement.
The UK holds a special “friend of the court” status that enabled them to issue the request. Israel is unable to because it is not a member of the court. Yedioth Ahronoth, the Israeli paper who first reported on the UK request said that “it is believed that the UK’s move was made at Israel’s request,” and speculated that other countries are being recruited to support the UK review…

That’s was absolutely disgraceful . To think they can even legislate extermination. The UK arguing there’s no IJC/ICC jurisdiction is equally disgraceful. But we get to see the civilizations behaving in their pure forms. The absolute sub human ideology that allows a society to accept such statements.
Menzies 94. Policy change? .served with extra genocide, with starmer the spineless weasel. Another uk prime minister of war crimes in a long list

A tank or two here or there does not a win make. The Apartheid State wields a free hand across the middle east. Still bombing here there and everywhere, at will, and with the support of many of the world major governments, regardless of how their citizens feel or protest. With civil infrastructure untouched and humming along, Palestinians are still dying by the front end loader bucket full.
