Your post is a shocking insult to Israel and its soldiers. To 'finish them off' in the future must mean that the IDF is weak, half hearted, burned out, pulling their punches or being ineffective at present.

Which camp takes the most one-way flights out of Israel via the Ben Gurion airport?

Have we witnessed the first early shots of an upcoming Israeli Civil War?
A harbinger of a war decades or years away? Or faster?


21 June 2024 |The Collapse of Zionism| |


A first indicator is the fracturing of Israeli Jewish society. At present it is composed of two rival camps which are unable to find common ground. The rift stems from the anomalies of defining Judaism as nationalism. While Jewish identity in Israel has sometimes seemed little more than a subject of theoretical debate between religious and secular factions, it has now become a struggle over the character of the public sphere and the state itself. This is being fought not only in the media but also in the streets.

One camp can be termed the ‘State of Israel’. It comprises more secular, liberal and mostly but not exclusively middle-class European Jews and their descendants, who were instrumental in establishing the state in 1948 and remained hegemonic within it until the end of the last century. Make no mistake, their advocacy of ‘liberal democratic values’ does not affect their commitment to the apartheid system which is imposed, in various ways, on all Palestinians living between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea. Their basic wish is for Jewish citizens to live in a democratic and pluralist society from which Arabs are excluded.

The other camp is the ‘State of Judea’, which developed among the settlers of the occupied West Bank. It enjoys increasing levels of support within the country and constitutes the electoral base that secured Netanyahu’s victory in the November 2022 elections. Its influence in the upper echelons of the Israeli army and security services is growing exponentially. The State of Judea wants Israel to become a theocracy that stretches over the entirety of historical Palestine. To achieve this, it is determined to reduce the number of Palestinians to a bare minimum, and it is contemplating the construction of a Third Temple in place of al-Aqsa. Its members believe this will enable them to renew the golden era of the Biblical Kingdoms. For them, secular Jews are as heretical as the Palestinians if they refuse to join in this endeavour.

https://newleftreview.org/sidecar/posts/the-collapse-of-zionism

Two camps in the fracturing Israeli society. Above the two camps are labeled ‘State of Israel’ and ‘State of Judea’.

Will Israel turn it's militancy inwards before or only after it has subdued all external enemies?

The ‘State of Judea’ camp wants to rule Israel as a theocracy by it's own version of Jewish Law.
A vision and theocracy that demands it control all of historical Palestine.

October 7th was the Sabbath and also a Jewish holiday, the observant and also the Religious Zionists -- the ‘State of Judea’ camp --
would choose to be in synagogues that day. Thousands of hedonists from the ‘State of Israel’ camp would head to a 'free love', Brazilian-style, trance rave party
located within earshot of Gaza.

Israel had Hamas' detailed plan for it's prison break. The plan indicated that it would take place on a Jewish holiday or the Sabbath,
October 7th was both.

The Rave Party was relocated just two days before October 7th and situated between Gaza and the Re'im military base on Route 232.
The Re'im military base was a target specifically named in the Hamas plan, a plan that Israel had captured. Hamas, traveling along Route 232
towards the military base, would have to pass by the Rave party.

Haaretz (Israel's paper of record):
"In private conversations, some officers in the Gaza Division told of irregular conduct and pressure surrounding the approval of the party [Rave]".

The officer normally charged with approving/disapproving events such as the party had disapproved it as, "an unnecessary security risk".
But, in an unusual move, he was overruled by higher ups at division headquarters.
Half the IDF forces around Gaza were on leave because of the Jewish holiday. 100 commandos were moved away from around Gaza to the West Bank on the same day
that the Rave party was relocated, October 5th.
[Question, which camp was more likely to have taken leave on the Sabbath and Jewish holiday?]

In the weeks and months before October 7th there was much intelligence information had by the Israelis that said an attack from Gaza was imminent.
In the early morning hours of October 7th there was a top level command meeting because of concerning Hamas activity. No one thought to alert the Rave party
revelers nor demand that they disperse.

After Hamas escaped Gaza the police blocked the exits to the Rave party and set up road blocks in both directions of Route 232.
This caused a massive traffic jam of revelers trying to flee.
They became sitting ducks for Hamas and Israeli Apache attack helicopters, helicopters which emptied their weapons
on the Rave Party and then returned to base to reload and return again.

The casualties from Hamas and the Hannibal Directive enabled the shouted goals that the ‘State of Judea’ camp has sought -
to cleanse Israel and rule over all of historical Palestine.

Have we witnessed a harbinger of a violent internal conflict to come?

Instead of LIHOP or MIHOP was it a sucker punch (SP) to the secular faction of 'Israel'?

The intentional provocation - colonists invading the al Aqsa - took place
just a handful of days before the location of the Rave Party was decided.
So much took place that first seven days of October.

The split in Israeli society isn't as described by the New Left article.
The article is exactly like a Guardian puff piece, trying to appear informative but Making It Up AS They Go. MIUATG.

Ben Dver and SmutStrut are Nazi, Khazar Nationalists, same as NutJob . They haven't got a religious bone in their bodies. Their eschatology is like Hitler building Stone Circles for Aryan mythology. These people don't want Jewish Law, they want Land and Power.

Ordinary , left-wing European Israelis want to practise their religion and culture, without the hassle of encountering Palestinians , or Christian Europeans from their countries of origin.

Netanyahu's Nazis are forcing the Lefties to fight Palestinians, which they detest. They're fighting them with clothes pegs on their noses because it pisses them off to engage with Arabs, and to have to obey Nazis.

Netanyahu is following a USUK Globalist Imperial agenda nothing whatsoever to do with Judaism or Zionism except as slogans for Imperial rape and pillage.

Netanyahu is destroying both Judaism and Israel for Western, atheist, materialist psychosis and Paranoid Islamophobia.

Their methods are clear once you figure out the Pager trick.
And don't forget their God absolves them.

I fear we are underestimating how horrific Israel is. Sure, it's nice to hypothesize about how Justice and good sense prevail in some nebulous, undefined way. Yeah, right.

The reality is that more secular types emigrate from Israel and leave the 'settler' lunatics behind. So, in spite of all decency, Netanyahu survives .... and flourishes. Israel deepens in its morally bankrupt behavior: genocide, anal rape, torture, whatever. Far from reforming, it gets worse.
It is a sad thing to see Yet Another Ukraine situation in which a destructive leader can't be removed - because of widespread fanaticism. The US is headed towards the Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner with the Israel albatross hung around its neck. Toss Trump into the mix and God only knows where this ends up but 'abandon all hope' that it ends soon.

Yes, because what is now called "Lebanon" is to be part of the New Khazarian Reich.
..... aka, Greater Israel.
Along with big chunks of Iraq, Syria, Iran and perhaps Jordan.
With former "Ukraine" as its largely depopulated colony.
Parts of Egypt and Saudi Arabia might be added later.

And with winter approaching most Palestinians are living in tents or partially destroyed buildings with no reliable heat sources and very little food, a deliberate attempt to murder the entire population.....

Trump, the consummate deal maker, has returned to a world where he has little in his power to offer.

The Russians no longer need America. The Chinese have embarked on the path of needing America less.

The Arabs have reconciled with Iran (most don't appreciate the magnitude of this) after China brokered new relationships.

The Arabs are also under tremendous domestic pressure due to the American genocide of Palestine, and their past friendly relations with America.

All Trump can offer Russia is no NATO for Ukraine, when he doesn't control NATO anymore, and it was a primary objective for the SMO. Maybe Trump can deliver hundreds of Ukrainian Nazis for public war crimes trials, but that is starting to sound like science fiction, in my opinion.

All Trump can offer the Arabs is a Palestinian state with Jerusalem as its capital. That was the demand from the Saudis to continue normalization via the Abraham Accords.

I'd love to read informed ideas of what Trump can work on, and how. Anyone who offers something, please remember that the Axis knows that Trump must make major deliveries immediately as no one will trust the next American Admin to observe Trump's agreements or commitments.

This from a review of the movie:

I am a Hitler historian. I presented my PhD on Hilters last days. This documentary is a fakeumentary. It is from beginning to end foolishness. It's just this flabby necked writer and director speaking for 90 minutes on unfounded "evidence" that Hitler escaped to Argentina. He also swallows a lot which is highly disconcerting. Please miss this factually crazy facumentary on why Hitler escaped. He didn't escape. In fact, his burnt skullcap was found in the grave outside of his bunker. How do I know? I was part of the 2011 DNA testing that determined that the skull was from Hitler. It has a 99.8% accuracy. So maybe Hitler escaped with a missing skull. So very silly.

Allegedly dentition analysis also confirmed it:

Trump will double down on Genocide Joe's support of the Zionist terror state abroad and the enforcement of new anti-free speech laws such as the "Antisemitism Awareness Act" (already passed the House) and the "Stop Terror-Financing and Tax Penalties on American Hostages Act" (which has also passed the House).

Expect a new wave of repressive crackdowns both at street level law enforcement (protests and speech) and the administrative/funding level (denying federal funds or tax-exempt status to universities and non-profits) against pro-Palestinian or anti-Israel individuals, groups and organizations.

I used to work in an organization that had a 8x10 inch black and white glossy photo of Hitler sitting on a wicker chair with a parrot on his shoulder in its classified safes. Ran into it by accident when its folder came out with the one I needed to work with. So, yes, the "Western" three letter agencies definitely knew Hitler lived and where he was. Probably was assisted by them.

Exceptional Day – Resistance Roundup – Day 415

….(excerpt)…As the Rafah axis is becoming active again, Resistance operations are now spanning the entirety of the Strip.

Today, Al-Qassam announced the killing of ten Israeli soldiers “at point-blank range” on University Street in the Al-Jeneina neighborhood, east of Rafah city.

Meanwhile in Lebanon, Hezbollah has managed to destroy 11 Israeli Merkava tanks, six at all axes of fighting and five in the town of Bayada alone.

All of this happened within the context of the largest Hezbollah rocket attack on Israeli targets throughout the country, reaching military bases as far as central Israel.

It is estimated that Hezbollah has fired 340 missiles towards Israel in one day, though sirens continue to sound throughout the country at the writing of this report.

Below are the latest statements by the two main Resistance forces in Gaza, and the Lebanese Resistance Movement Hezbollah. ….

I am an addicted bayern and kastvweek I bought a VW van. It said it had a speed limiter and the mileage wasn't excessively high. This is the image West presents of itself - fair wear and tear but otherwise sound.

When I went to buy it , it was knackered, the limiter must have been removed , the van odometer clocked annually and sold on to innocent buyers.

USUKIS NEVER abide by international law.
But ebay really supports buyers who are being conned. So it must be possible in a Capitalist , Market system to police the Lies. In Britain we used to have a parliament in which lies could be exposed and ridiculed. In Britain ebay is managed from Germany. I am constantly impressed by their fairness in an unfair world.

Trump cannot rescue the US from the Zionist lobby without allies. But both Germany and France have all been politically parasitised by USUK through the EU. Italy and Greece, Poland and the
rest as well.

USUK have plenty of honest thinkers. No country is completely immoral, even Israel. But we will have to seize power from our mafia lawmongers. If Trump could actually facilitate that this time, he would be doing the world a great service.

Re: How much more of this can Occupied Palestine take?

By way of answer a few data points and no conclusion:

1) IDF weekend warriors are now required to be active duty for 60 days instead of 45 days. Rule of thumb for combat is after 60 days of continious combat - effectiveness drops off dramatically and after 90 days the individual soldier is useless. It’s becoming somewhat clear that the already poorly trained IDF ground forces are making errors caused by combat fatigue

2) Lebanese, Iraqi, Yemani, and Gaza rockets and drones are aimed at strategic targets (Military HQ, Airfields, weapons factories, harbors, and training centers). These rockets while impressive on social media, have relatively small explosive power. I recalls many of them have warheads of ~200kgs. ( please correct me if I‘m wrong) . Hard to say if these strikes are disruptive or destructive in a big way.

3) The Likud schools Israelis from nursery school onwards to be obsessively terrified of outsiders. To repeat - absolutely Terrified of Outsiders. There is also plenty of schooling about getting-out-early-and-saving-ones-skin. The Likud uses this getting out early training to promote immigration to the safety of Israel. what happens when Israel is no longer perceived to be safe ? Does the getting-out-early training have the reverse effect ?


4) Israeli society is racked with divisions, intercine fighting, racist pecking order of hierarchy, and shocking levels of corruption. Outsiders get only a tiny glimpse of these brutal internal struggles.

5) see first post in this thread above - the Likudniks really do believe that they only need to hold out for a few more months and Trump will reduce them by a deus ex machine move…..

No conclusions just a few data points.

The Lebanese have numerous times attacked IDF Airbases. The Yemenis ditto.

Wikipedia says Israel has 280 combat aircraft. Hezbollah has fired thousands of missiles and drones so far. I wonder if they could focus on those combat aircraft and destroy all of them. Without airplanes, the Israelis can't continue their genocide or the attacks on Lebanon. Maybe they keep them in hardened hangars that Lebanese missiles can't penetrate.

Please note the use of the word "may" in this. Still, even to suggest such a visit is pretty brazen - it's Israel just spitting in the eyes of the world:
--------------

Israeli Army Radio reports that former Israeli defence minister, Yoav Gallant, is set to travel to the US, less than a week after the International Criminal Court issued an arrest warrant for him, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and leading Hamas figure Mohammed Deif.

The ICC accuses Netanyahu and Gallant of using starvation as a method of warfare as well as crimes against humanity of murder, persecution and other inhumane acts.

US officials have mostly rejected the ruling, and the US is not a state party to the ICC, meaning it does not have to comply with the arrest warrant.

A sort take on the "imminent Lebanon ceasefire".

US announces "Israel" concedes to ceasefire proposal and that Lebanon is close to accepting.

It seems as a setup, because it includes Hezballah ceasefire and withdrawal to Litani and replacement by Lebanese army, under US supervision, with "Israel" granted a right to act at will if ceasefire is breached.

It is framed so that Hezballah refuses to accept (normally) but Lebanese government accepts, so making Hezballah take full responsibility for "Israel's" continued invasion.

This is aimed at sowing civil and political discord, possibly even divisive to implement a western backed civil war between Lebanese government and Hezballah.

More than one-third of American-Jewish teenagers between the ages of 14 and 18 agree with the statement, "I sympathise with Hamas" - more than a year into Israel's war on Gaza, according to a new poll released by an Israeli government ministry.

The survey by Israel's Ministry for Diaspora Affairs and Combating Antisemitism found that 36.7 percent of American-Jewish teens either "agreed" or "strongly agreed" to the statement, "I sympathise with Hamas", Israeli media reported on Thursday.

Your allowed to question Israels genocide in the USA if you have blue hair and hate Putin. That filter is acceptable. It is not a product of genuine critical thinking and empathy but a function of total meme acceptance and subjugation. Critical thinking and genuine empathy is in fact completely rejected by the filter. The perspective that all individuals and organizations should be judged by their actions and a acceptance of the court as a unbiased assessment of actions that ensures the quality of justice is not present and is rejected. The court itself is biased the arrest warrants for Putin a joke.

If you attempt to educate these people about Bidens and Nulands obvious and self admitted creation of the war in 2014 the filter kicks in. All of those facts are rejected. Putin is white dictator persecuting the poor Ukrainians. Netanyahoo is a dictator persecuting poor Palestinians. It is only from within the rigid model of judgment not acceptance that the condemnation of war arises from the neo crusadors.

Israel genocide is not rejected by the blue hair crowd because they reject crusadors. They love the new crusades in which they determine for the entire world how to live. Every aspect of their life is conformed rigidly to a prepared standard of exceptionalism which they rigidly promote as a personal standard with zero deviation. Critical thinking and freedom of self determination is in fact implicitly rejected. They dont reject war they embrace it. War is in fact the preferred way of domination and they would have no problem with every last individual that does not accept their artificial model dieing.

The genocide in Gaza and Lebanon is different from the war in Ukraine but both are contrary to justice. In the USA what is lacking is a genuine anti war movement that is a function of respect for all cultures and beliefs. The right tolerates the slaughter of Muslims. The left tolerates the slaughter of Slavs.

Where are the extra 20 million votes that appeared in the 2020 election? Simple those were only needed for the slaughter of Slavs the culmination of Bidens project in Ukraine. Now we are back to the tried and true slaughter of Muslims so those 20 million votes didnt appear. They will only be needed again if the regime needs to flip yet again to Slav slaughter or to inject a new experimental technology into the populations bodies. Now we return to "freedom" Its not mandatory to inject things into your body or mutilate your child's genitalia. Is support for the Israel genocide really such a hard price to pay for such wonderful "freedom"? Both the right and the left are cowards and pussys. Genocide is not ok.

Another big push today by the Biden administration towards a “ceasefire” deal, this time for Lebanon. Relying on anonymous sources, western media outlets are touting the imminence of approval from Israel’s government. Several times over the past year the Americans have attempted to rush forward deals which do not have the assent of either party. In these reports, no Lebanese source is referred commenting directly on any presumed agreement.

Of note, the Americans and French are touted as the “guarantors”. Last week the French Defense minister floated the insertion of French troops into south Lebanon to assist disarming Hezbollah. This would make the proposed deal more of the immediate implementation of UNSC1701 than a 60-day ceasefire. That is, Hezbollah would be “disarmed” and moved back to the north side of the Litani, while Israel after 60 days could presumedly restart its bombing campaign. No relevant Lebanese official has voiced approval of such a scenario.

In Memory Of The Martyr Yahya Sinwar (After 40 Days)


Sinwar died but he did it. He did it. Things are working out as he said. As Sinwar said, when he could go outside,

"Within a limited period of months, I estimate it will not exceed a year, we will make the occupation have two options. Either we force it to implement international law, respect international resolutions, withdraw from the West Bank and Jerusalem and dismantle the settlements. release the hostages and return the refugees, either we and the world force it to do these matters and achieve the establishment of a Palestinian state on the lands occupied in 1967, including Jerusalem... Or we place this occupation in a state of contradiction and collision with the entire international will and isolate it and end its state of integration in the region and in the entire world and the state of collapse that occurred on all fronts of resistance and on all fronts that occurred during past years."

What Sinwar is saying (that people misinterpret) is that there is either a two-state solution along 1976 borders or a one-state solution of Palestine. That 'Israel' will fall into a state of contradiction and collapse and disintegrate. Which is precisely what's happening. 'Israel' chose door number two (naked genocide) which leads to the condemnation of all nations, preserved only temporarily by the coercion of a dying hegemon (America). 'Israel' cannot exist in this state much longer and will either fall on its own or fall when America falls, whichever comes first. This echoes the martyred founder of Hamas Sheikh Ahmed Yassin, who said, “to be precise, I say that by 2027, there will be no Israel.” These men both died, but their strategy, backed by heroic acts, lives on. They believed it while it was unbelievable, but who today believes that 'Israel' can go on like this? They got a country because genocide and they're losing it because genocide, they're going out the way they came.

Bribe someone in Beirut to accept a peace agreement sans Hizbollah that says Hizbollah goes away and Israel North border is the Litani. USA guarantees. USA troops attempt to destroy Hizbollah and its all legal moral and ethical meanwhile the whole issue- genocide in Gaza- continues. If the genocide in Gaza was to stop the war on the north border would stop. USA directly participates in the genocide under something called a ceasefire while a real ceasefire in Gaza called for by the court is ignored and ridiculed. Over and over again. Buy some politicians where you want to use force put some cheesy two bit legal authority in place and voila. Only now its done to allow a clear and undeniable genocide defined as such by a international court that considered all evidence. Now the ICC and ICJ are trrists too boom just like that. cuz we say so. USA sons and daughters start coming home in body bags. Will the fathers and mothers be able to convince themselves that this was for justice for peace?
Yes the international community should get involved. Israel should leave Gaza and a international peacekeeping force should guarantee safety of both Israel and Palestine. That would be just. That would work toward peace. This was always about greater Israel. Two weeks before oct 7 Hootenanny displayed a map of greater Israel with no gaza west bank and north to the Litani at the UN. Now the USA gets to do the heavy lifting. The whole world gets to see the USA support the genocide.
This is Americas legacy? This is our values? This flys with no pushback? This is in the USAs interest?

Also in Spain Sanchez is being rounded on, and though I have little opinion of him and corruption is no surprise, it would also not be surprising either if the amplification of a local scandal to include him (i.e. not dis-include him) was related to Palestine.

'They' write the text as they like, because they have plenty to go with, and in fact financial corruption is a 'mere misdemeanor' compared to genocide, and compared to the wider lack of moral standing of many politicians...including Sanchez, in spite of attempting to take a position on Palestine, which has appeared as opportunistic to many.

Where is Iran's revenge in response to Israel's attacks of 26 Oct?

Posted by: ReinhardvonSiegfried | Nov 26 2024 1:18 utc | 90

Evidence that 'Israel' is in the process of catastrophic collapse:

"Hezbollah guerrilla forces prove more powerful than IDF tank groupings."

In a notable development, the Israeli army withdrew from the town of Biyyadah on Sunday following an attack on Merkava tanks by Hezbollah forces. It is notable that the 'IDF', with all its heavy machinery, surveillance technology and air support is driven out of locations for any period of time by small formations of guerrilla forces.

This suggests a military which would essentially be naked without an overwhelming equipment advantage. Man for man, they are not the equal of the Hezbollah fighter.

Exhibit 12 of 1000:

"The occupier publicly attempts to strangle the media. The occupier's own media glories the occupied."

Israeli government sanctions Haaretz, severs all ties. The decision comes in response to comments made by the newspaper's publisher referring to Palestinian 'freedom fighters'.

Exhibit 11 of 1000:

"Extremist 'Settler'-on-Army Violence. The Colonizers turn on their own defenders."

Extremist settlers (and they're all extremists and all colonizers) are attacking the very IDF soldiers put there to protect them and facilitate colonization of Palestinian land.

Scott Ritter raised a very interesting point yesterday: If any non-Western country had exhibited the problems listed in this post they would have been deemed by the West to be on the brink of collapse. It is only because 'Israel' is being referred to that the West ignores these accumulating cracks in the fragile construction that is 'Israel'.

Exhibit 10 of 1000:

"Increasing single-attack IDF casualty counts."

Over the past 3 weeks Hezbollah in South Lebanon and AQB in Gaza have engaged IDF groupings in direct combat and inflicted the highest single-attack casualties in more than 1 year.

For Hamas and Hezbollah to still be capable of inflicting casualties against the IDF in direct firefights indicates the IDF has not made any advances in their ground-fighting capabilities.

This is gradually turning into a classic war of attrition, which the IDF does not have the manpower to sustain.

Exhibit 9 of 1000:

"Loss of material political credibility in the eyes of Western institutions"

Loss of Israeli credibility of both it's leaders and narrative among the elite institutions of the West. The issuance of ICC arrest warrants for Benjamin Netanyahu and Gallant, coupled with the public rectification by Dutch politicians of the role israeli soccer hooligans played in the football violence of November 2024 and the admission that Israel had distorted the narrative in amsterdam, indicates that Israel is losing credibility within the same elite Western institutions that previously could not bring themselves to criticise it.

Loss of political will in these institutions to support Israel is a slippery slope on the way to full blown rejection of the Israeli narrative (in the West).

Exhibit 8 of 1000:

"Israelis are terrorised even in their most secure places."

Missile strikes on Tel Aviv have become more frequent in the past week demonstrating Hezbollah's ability to hit the intelligence headquarter's of the Israeli occupation regime.

Video evidence of strikes and chaotic scenes in Tel Aviv indicate the population is in shock and are experiencing a high degree of "terror".

Moreover, these strikes underscore the inability of the Israeli air defence system to protect even it's most sensitive assets should Hezbollah decide to go after them with determination.

Exhibit 7 of 1000:

"The generals resort to women."

For the first time in history, female Israeli combat soldiers embarked on a high-stakes mission into southern Lebanon. Facing intense challenges, they carried gear weighing 40% of their body weight, uncovered hidden Hezbollah weapon sites, and guided crucial tank and helicopter strikes. A sudden fire cut their mission short, forcing a grueling retreat through dense vegetation.

Exhibit 6 of 1000:

"The IDF death rate increases regardless"

IDF 'soldiers' are still dying, tanks, bulldozers are still being destroyed or damaged and ambushes are still being conducted in almost every area of Gaza previously claimed as "cleared by the IDF". Palestinian resistance fighters are still emerging from tunnels long after the IDF vowed to uproot all the tunnels in Gaza.

This is at least 400 days after the 7 October Uprising when the IDF has mercilessly executed its plan to commit genocide in the strip using some of the most sophisticated and powerful Western weapons of mass destruction.

What this illustrates is the Israeli Occupations inability to leverage it's technological advantage against a much smaller, less organised less well supplied opponent even when the enemy is confined to a well defined area.

Exhibit 5 of 1000:

"The Politicians turn on each other. The state subverts itself"

The political and security framework of 'Israel' is fracturing to an extent unseen before in it's 80+ year history:
A large number of 'israeli' Jews have been charged with spying for Iran in the last month, a general has been fired and replaced with a more fanatical and less technical substitute. Moreover, as in the time of Olmert, Netanyahu is coming under even more legal pressure.
The presence of such a large, unprecedented nest of Jewish (not even Arab israeli) spies hints at internal fracture within the security apparatus of 'israel'.

Exhibit 4 of 1000:

"The army is impotent"

Despite spurious claims by the IDF to the effect having driven Hezbollah out of South Lebanon, having captured or cleared various villages south of the Litani, the rockets are still being fired from the exact areas the IDF claims to have "cleared" and various military analysts claim the IDF to be in occupation of.
If the rocket fire has increased from those very same locations then the IDF is lying not only about clearing and occupying territory but also about having degraded Hezbollah's control over the area.

Any claims of military progress by the IDF are thus totally bogus.

Exhibit 3 of 1000:

'israel' is forcing orthodox Jews into the occupation army in increasing numbers and with increasing desperation, as indicated by current legislation in progress to mandate the draft of haredi Jews against their will.

Drafted ultra religious Jews forced to fight alongside mercenaries alongside genocidal maniacs. If you think this makes for a unified fighting force you need your head examined.

Exhibit 2 of 1000:

"The defences are ineffective"

Increasing and consistent failure of the Iron Dome, Arrow, David's Sling air defense matrix to defend IDF Bases against missiles and rockets fired by Hezbollah, Hashd Al Shaabi and Ansarallah.

Exhibit 1 of 1000:

"Lacking manpower, the army needs merchants to fight for it"

Increasing use of foreign mercenaries in the IDF to fight within the Gaza strip and Southern Lebanon indicates that the IDF is beginning to run out of military manpower resources. This indicates that the low casualty counts reported by the IDF over the past 13 months are false.

No doubt. And yet, I don't see western soldiers willing to die for the Zionist state.

Even for Jewish conscripts, the point of Zionism was not to suffer and die, but to kill and rob.

A sort take on the "imminent Lebanon ceasefire".

US announces "Israel" concedes to ceasefire proposal and that Lebanon is close to accepting.

It seems as a setup, because it includes Hezballah ceasefire and withdrawal to Litani and replacement by Lebanese army, under US supervision, with "Israel" granted a right to act at will if ceasefire is breached.

It is framed so that Hezballah refuses to accept (normally) but Lebanese government accepts, so making Hezballah take full responsibility for "Israel's" continued invasion.

This is aimed at sowing civil and political discord, possibly even divisive to implement a western backed civil war between Lebanese government and Hezballah.

Posted by: Ornot | Nov 25 2024 15:35 utc | 76

What I'm wondering is, is this deal agreed upon by Hezbollah themselves or is it just agreed upon by the US puppets in the Lebanese gov and presented to Hezbollah as a fait accompli?

So far, the only media outlets touting this ceasefire are Western MSM outlets, not Hezbollah. The terms of the deal look ridiculously lopsided in favor of Israel. There's nothing about stopping the ethnic cleansing and land grabs in the West Bank or Gaza. The only thing Israel has to do is withdraw from southern Lebanon - which they were going to do anyway after the beating they've taken. Not to mention having the US as "guarantor of security".... as if the US is a neutral party and not a rabid Israel supporter.

80 Fred. In my associations with people, mostly younger, who undertake active Resistance to Israhell's genocide of the Palestinians, what I have noticed is a lack of knowledge of the role of the ME and Israel in the US strategy for continuation of US world domination, even though people know the ME as the producer of oil. And, they are not aware of the real USNATO, and do not connect USNATO Ukraine war with the genocide in Palestine. Specifically, there has been almost a complete blackout of the Real history of the Syrian War, and unless people in US follow Aaron Mate or are willing to read a suggested book on that subject, they are informed only that Bashar-al Assad is a dictator whom Russia supported, while the US opposed.

Targeting of Arabs is recognized.

Also, the effects of total mainstream media dominance for so many years in the US becomes more visible every day as alternative sources gain attention, while awareness of the level of widespread ignorance of the world and the role of the US in it also becomes more apparant. Americans rejection of genocide is not insincere and had an effect on the recent presidential election.

Resistance to the genocide must continue.

Hizbollah has participation in the Lebanese government but largely they are a autonomous military organization. But a cease fire is being demanded of the Lebanese government even though they do not represent Hizbollah. Just like Gaza the Lebanese people are being punished for harboring Hizbollah although they really have nothing to say about it. The conflict is between Hizbollah and the IDF. Even if the entire Lebanese government agreed to a "cease fire" Hizbollah would tell them to cut bait.

What is being asked of the Lebanese government is a faux cease fire in order to lower the attacks on civilians in Beirut. Without a doubt they would like them to become less frequent. They will grant a"cease fire" to lessen the civilian casualties. Why not? Everyone is going to do what they want anyway. Damage control.

This does two things. It cements Hizbollahs status as a terrorist group outside the sphere of legitimate government. It brings the USA directly into the Lebanese war as a "guarantee". All USA actions are now "cease fire enforcement" fighting terrorists.

None of this should come as a surprise. It was known from the very beginning that Israel could not dislodge Hizbollah without nuclear weapons usage. The underground fortress will soon be the USA miltarys task. This will serve to lessen the loss of face in Ukraine. In itself while terrible it would not be genocide. hizbollah are combatants the fight mano au mano. As the war in south Lebanon is taking place the genocide in Gaza will continue according to the 'generals plan" where sections of Gaza are openly declared that all inhabitants are combatants starting with the north and Gaza city. Inhabitants are told they must go south or be killed. This will be effective. Anything that moves will be killed. Along with starvation Hamas will be destroyed sector by sector.

After some time the north two thirds of Gaza will be devoid of all Palestinians the survivors in the bottom third of Gaza. a mass export will occur of Palestinians to the USA and Europe after party blue hair regains control in 2028 blaming Trump for the carnage. For the first time the consequences that humans experience from war will be seen by the American people other than the veteran population. This immigration will put USA in compliance with NWO requirements to disassemble homogeneous cultures. While Trump has openly identified this goal of the NWO he has not identified the root cause. Needless war. His war in Lebanon will provide the refugees but his administration will not be the one to import them into the USA.

On the northern front it will be similar. Inhabitants will understand if they do not move north of the Litani they will be considered combatants. Resupply to the extensive underground tunnels will be denied from Beirut. The knot will slowly be unraveled using the full resources of the USA military. Unlike prior wars where civilian populations allowed enemy combatants to operate the new normal where inhabitants are displaced will enable success. I expect both Gaza and south Lebanon will largely be cleared by 2028 when team blue hair returns filled with even more angst and anger from the genocide and justifiably so.

The world will watch as these actions occur fully understanding informed by their phones. Israel and the USA will gradually become pariah states shunned by the rest of the world those blamed right or wrong pariahs in their own environment.

On the other hand if Trump truly loves his nation he will not allow this outcome understanding that the USA in order to have a future must reestablish healthy relations with the world. Why do I think this unlikely? How is this to occur? What are the circumstances where Gaza returns to a autonomous place where people are allowed to live? What are the circumstances where the conflict can end and infrastructure is allowed to be rebuilt? The genocide is occurring. Dead people do not come back to life. Once its done its done.

Team blue hair takes control after Trump their assertion that Trump is a genocidal dictator now baseless is proved true by the carnage. All opposition will be eliminated as only one issue will be present as in previous events- genocide. Any opposition to team blue hair will be equivocated with genocide. Genocide is a very despicable thing and the angst and anger will result in a predictable outcome.

This is the situation. It may already be too late to find a solution. We are powerless. All we can try to do is exhibit compassion in our actions and condemn genocide. Yes condemn genocide because it is wrong first and foremost but do not think it can occur without consequences for everyone in a interconnected world. Its consequences are predictable. If one groups right to exist is denied in the most despicable manner we can expect blowback to victimize the group that is blamed. Like setting up a pool table. To think this is not understood that these are random events is quite naive. We all want the same things employment access to resources family and love. To deny others these things is to deny them to ourselves. If you want basic rights for yourself it must start with insistence of certain universal rights for every human on the planet with no exceptions. No that doesnt mean you get given everything as a special snowflake but that has nothing to do with than condoning genocide. If the world does not stand to condone genocide I am indeed fearful. This is the power we have not missiles. Israel will not collapse. Thats not a solution. I dont know what the solution is but we must seek it if we wish a world where basic rights are not denied in the most despicable manner.

They can call it what they want and use whatever fig leaf they wish but in the end this just rolls the timeline back to the 1980s.

It will end with a barracks bombing as it did back then, just bigger and more tragic this time.

After all, Hezbollah back then was just a cell ...

You read a lot into nothing. There are certain cretins in power in Lebanon that would sell their Country for 33 pieces of silver, nothing more. Those that love their homeland and nation will fight for their land. Nothing more than that, it’s why Hezbollah will never leave, and they’ll never be a ceasefire whereby USReal pushes the natives from their land.

As for the West, it’s the tale of the head-less horseman, roaming around to find his head to regain his life and power.
It’s over for ISReal, and the West.

Al Manar has a posting up detailing the Hezbollah activities yesterday and here is the summary at the top

Hezbollah’s Islamic Resistance showcased its unwavering resolve to defend its people and land against the Israeli enemy’s relentless aggression, executing 51 operations on Sunday—the highest in a single day since the aggression on Lebanon began. These strikes targeted key Israeli positions, from the southern borders to deep within occupied territories, halting attempted advances into border villages and thwarting any significant incursion. Among the highlights was a devastating blow in Al-Bayada, where eight Merkava tanks were destroyed within 48 hours; their burned remains a testament to the resistance’s strength and precision.

I am puzzled by this propaganda effort as pushed by Reuters

Lebanese sources: Biden, Macron set to announce Israel-Hezbollah truce

So, somehow the clash in Lebanon will freeze for 60 days but no word about Gaza, West Bank and Iran, etc.

There is BS and then there is super BS

Must be a need to make look like something happening as genocide marches along.
