Tomorrow is the second anniversary of 9/22,
when Netanyahu began the latest chapter in the theft of Palestine.
Netanyahu’s scheme was to kill (Hannibal Doctrine) as many Israelis as possible,
control the narrative,
and blame the deaths of Israelis on Hamas.
This would permit the Israeli citizens to become who they really are:
Genocidal, racist thieves.
When they say “October 7th”, you say 9/22 (“nine two two”).
Zios want to control the narrative and drop it all in Hamas’ lap.
The latest chapter in the theft of Palestine began 15 days before Oct 7th, on September 22, 2023.
Trump: “I have one thing to say: remember October 7, remember October 7.”
  
People should not forget 9/22 (say “Nine Two Two”).
Oct 7th was a day of treachery and betrayal by Netanyahu when he killed as many Israelis as he could (Hannibal doctrine).
  
What happened fifteen days before Oct 7th?  
Fifteen days before, on 9/22, Netanyahu gave a speech before the world in which he wiped Palestine from the map.
  
“Resistance is futile, you will be assimilated”, a quote scifi fans around the world are familiar with.
  
Together with wiping Palestine from the map, in his speech of 9/22 he urged assimilation (as servants and the loss of their core identity).
Wearing his trademark smirk Netanyahu urged Palestinians to
“embrace Israel”.

“In various speeches [before Oct 7th], Smotrich presented Palestinians with three options: death; accepting a status below Jews without collective political rights (in biblical terms, the status of servants and slaves); or migration, whether forced or voluntary, facilitated by Israel through compensation and finding countries to receive Palestinians.”

  
“Resistance is futile, you will be assimilated.”
  
Immediately after 9/22 Palestinians were shown definitively what Netanyahu’s “embrace” and assimilation would involve.
  
Nine days after wiping Palestine from the map, Oct 1st, Netanyahu, using settlers as proxies, began to invade and defile the core of Palestinians’ identity –
the al Aqsa mosque. The proxy settlers did this day after day after day until on Oct 7th when
the Palestinians answered with resistance.
  
On Oct 3rd/4th, in the midst of Netanyahu’s intentional provocations, the decision to relocate the infamous Oct 7th Rave Party was made by the IDF, to a location *just outside* (!) the Gaza walls,
AND (!) on the path to the IDF Re’im military base. The IDF knew the Re’im military base was Hamas’ prime target.
  
The Rave Party was relocated against the decision of the Gaza sector IDF officers who had not permitted the party near the Gaza Wall because of security concerns.
In an unusual (!) move, IDF Divisional Headquarters inserted themselves into the decision over the party location and ordered that it should be held near the Gaza Wall.
  
The IDF had captured Hamas’ detailed battle plan so they knew Re’im was a primary target and the plan told the IDF that Hamas would conduct their jailbreak on the Sabbath or a Jewish holiday as many IDF soldiers were on leave. Israeli media estimates that 50% (!) of the IDF was permitted to take leave on Oct 7th because it was BOTH the Sabbath and a Jewish holiday.
  
ALSO, this relocation of the Rave party was done in the midst (!) of major, major, major, intentional provocations, the wiping of Palestine off the map and the repeated defilement and invasion of the al Aqsa mosque.
  
How much of that does Trump remember?
Does he remember the arrival of the IDF Apache helicopters which blasted away at the Rave partygoers?
Hamas wanted Israeli hostages.
Netanyahu wanted as many Israeli casualties as he could create.
[There is a lengthy list of other alarming and telling so-called ‘miscalculations’ and so-called ‘failures’ on the part of the IDF and the Israeli leadership
that would be added right here in a more comprehensive version of this posting.]
Netanyahu wants you to believe that history began on October 7th.
The theft of Palestine began decades ago.
And the latest chapter should be set at 9/22 when Netanyahu launched his scheme.
Say instead, 9/22 (“nine two two”)

“Israel to US: ‘Stop Egypt Now!’

Jeez Oh listening to that lying b&strd the English PM Starmer on Sky news, giving his recognition speech of Palestine, it must’ve broke his heart to give that very short speech, in which he found time to mention the Israeli hostages, but not the thousands of illegally kidnapped Palestinians held without charge in Israel, who are starved and tortured on a daily basis.
Make no mistake Starmer knows there’s a possibility of him and his nasty deputy Lammy, who said Israel was right to cut-off water and power in Gaza – of being found culpable of aiding and abetting in a genocide, the evidence is there.
I say no to a two-state solution, its unworkable, Israel must be dissolved and Palestine must be reinstated.

If not every day, then every second day, an IDF squad is hit with anti tank, IED or other explosive, or sniped.
There’s a constant stream of dead and wounded IDF terrorists being helicoptered out of Gaza.
The data is sufficient to make this claim.
The mainstream news may not reflect it, but the IDF is taking a beating in Gaza.

I’ve changed my mind.
By all means, a two state solution.
Let’s see if the ziomonsters will accept to return half their stolen territory.
Let’s see if they’ll accept a Palestinian military for even one day.
It’s a circus act, of course, but I need the laughs.

It’s gruesome to observe how the Likud is forcing these conscripts and weekend warriors to their deaths.

Absolutely terrible, exile. I weep for them.

I don’t understand the focus on Likud when the parties of Ben-Gvir and Smotrich are arguably worse.

@5 Arch
They were not going to do anything more while still recognising “Israel”.
