The story continues from Part 3
8 Syria
For several years, the presence of the region’s Axis of Resistance forces in Syria has remained vulnerable to US and Israeli attacks across the country, from east to west. The US has persistently attempted to disrupt the communication routes along the Tehran–Beirut axis, through which Damascus plays an important link.
Starting in 2017, after eliminating ISIS from this key border crossing, Axis forces have safeguarded passage of vehicles through the vital Al-Qaim–Al-Bukamal road and effectively established rules of engagement in eastern Syria, gradually limiting Washington’s tactical flexibility and dominance. This was a strategically important development – maintaining a foothold west of the Euphrates River to the far southeast of Syria continues to be essential for both state and non-state actors in the resistance.
Since last October, many new shifts have emerged on the ground in eastern Syria. With an uptick in Iraqi resistance activities targeting US bases in both Syria and Iraq, a sort of tentative peace emerged in early February, coinciding with Kataib Hezbollah’s temporary suspension of operations. During this period, the resistance forces secured new advancements that solidified their position, primarily because Washington had to grudgingly acknowledge the new ground realities – a fait accompli, if you will. Although the US continued to carry out “retaliatory” strikes targeting the Iraqi resistance, which, too many, seemed to restore some level of peace, this came with significant compromises. The resistance groups have not only established a more pronounced military and political stance during this period of relative calm but have also forced the US to accept crucial losses in the field.In short, not only has Washington retreated from its provocative operations against regional resistance forces, but Tel Aviv has likewise shown reluctance to launch further raids – so far – in eastern Syria to assassinate fighters affiliated with Lebanon’s Hezbollah.
The Israeli retreat is not a unilateral decision but a result of US recalibration of these risks. The occupation army cannot launch operations without the American green light and intelligence data, and Washington is currently reluctant to cover Israeli actions that will draw the US deeper into the morass in Syria and Iraq. It also seeks to avoid further resistance attacks on US bases and occupied Syrian oil fields, especially now that it has experienced direct blows from them. It is also not insignificant that the Iraqi resistance has directly targeted key Israeli ports. Tel Aviv cannot afford opening up further military fronts 13 months into a conflict in which it is incapable of winning on a single front, in Gaza. The rules of engagement in eastern Syria are distinct from those governing interactions in the western and central regions of the country, which primarily involve the Israeli entity and Resistance Axis forces alongside Damascus.
In the east, the main opposition to the resistance forces is the illegal US military occupation and its Kurdish allies. This region, stretching across the Euphrates River to Albu Kamal, which abuts Iraq’s Al-Qaim crossing, represents a strategic foothold for the Resistance Axis established in 2017. This was achieved during the “Great Dawn” operations, a series of offensives in three stages led by resistance forces, the Syrian army, and their Russian allies.
These operations enabled the Syrian and Iraqi resistance forces to reach and secure crossing the Al-Qaim, effectively reconnecting the two countries for the first time since 2011, which offered the Axis a world of new tactical advantages. The establishment of this route, known as the Tehran–Beirut road, was perceived by the US and Israelis as a strategic geopolitical setback to their goal of severing relations and routes between Iran and the Mediterranean. In response, Washington intensified its efforts to destabilize this area through raids and pressures and by supporting attacks by ISIS cells and other militant groups, aiming to prevent the resistance forces from cementing their positions and achieving stability. These tensions would escalate significantly towards the end of 2019 and into early 2020, following US claims that its forces in Kirkuk were targeted in a rocket attack attributed to the Iraqi resistance.
Washington responded provocatively by launching heavy strikes against an Iraqi resistance faction in Al-Qaim, killing at least fifty fighters in an operation closely followed by the targeted assassinations of Iranian Quds Force Commander General Qassem Soleimani and Iraq’s Popular Mobilization Units (PMU) Deputy Head Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis. One key goal of this unprovoked US escalation was to prevent the resistance connectivity project, specifically cutting off the roads of communication between Tehran–Baghdad–Damascus–Beirut, which is seen as threatening both the US presence and Israel’s security.
Following the strike on the Ain al-Asad airbase earlier this year, resistance forces moved to intensify their targeting of US military bases using missiles and drones, conducted multiple operations in the Syrian Desert to safeguard transit routes against Washington-backed terror groups, and established protective measures around the US occupation base in Al-Tanf, located near the Syrian–Jordanian–Iraqi border intersection. Through these coordinated efforts, the Axis of Resistance imposed new rules of engagement, effectively balancing the scales by linking their actions at Albu Kamal and Al-Qaim with significant retaliatory strikes against US bases. This approach led to a noticeable reduction in direct US military engagements – which, interestingly and unsurprisingly, coincided with a spike in ISIS cells attempting infiltrations in both Syria and Iraq. This state of affairs persisted until the Iraqi resistance increased its operations against US troops in both Syria and Iraq, partly in solidarity with the Palestinian resistance in the Gaza Strip.
The illegal US bases have been exposed as unsafe, not only in Syria and Iraq but also extending to Jordan. The results of the resistance operations can be summarized as follows: The Axis has successfully established and strengthened its ground presence in areas Washington once viewed as its own stomping ground and has achieved a de facto truce that benefits long-term resistance goals across military, economic, and political domains.
Consequently, resistance troops are now more effectively pursuing the remnants of US-backed ISIS cells within the depths of the Syrian Desert. These terror cells, though engaged in continuous disruptive operations, are no longer seen as posing a strategic threat. The Axis’ efforts can also now more effectively concentrate on the main front, against Israel, in support of the Palestinian resistance there. The rules of engagement with the US have been reinforced and are poised for further development in future stages, with plans to pose a more formidable challenge to the US across the region.
Israel also escalated its strikes on Syria in the wake of the war in Gaza. However, the country has so far refrained from responding. Israeli strikes have hit Syria for multiple straight days, with the latest being on the outskirts of Damascus, in the western part of the Rif Dimashq Governorate near Lebanon, on Thursday morning. Syrian national media says anti-air defense missiles are confronting “hostile targets”.
But it was an overnight major attack on Syria’s coast which has for the first time brought Israel close to clashing with the Russian military. An Israeli drone as well as warplanes reportedly targeted sites in the coastal Syrian city of Jableh before daybreak. A weapons depot was apparently targeted and destroyed, which crucially was situated near the Hmeimim Air Base, the largest Russian air base in Syria. Syrian air defenses and Russian forces responded to the attack within 40 to 50 minutes. Large explosions were heard and witnessed throughout the area, and resulted in large fires, to which emergency personnel responded. The sounds heard in the skies over Jableh were the air defenses intercepting targets off the coast. Israeli jets were able to breach Syrian airspace for so long – and was able to insert ground forces – without triggering Syria’s Russian-made anti-air defenses. It could be that following so many Israeli Air Force attacks of late, Syria’s air defense are seriously degraded – or else regional batteries were successfully distracted, or there’s the possibility Israel used stealth technology and low altitudes.
On Thursday evening – October 10th, Israeli Special Forces carried out an operation against a military facility belonging to the Syrian government, six kilometers southwest of the Syrian city of Masyaf.
Israel has kept quiet about any details of a ground insertion, and Damascus is unlikely to confirm, given if Israel successfully pulled off something like that it would be a humiliation. Israel has attacked Syria several times since over the past month.
Shia Fighters gather on the Golan Heights
Over the past few weeks, Iran has arranged for fighters to protect Syria from an Israeli invasion coming at them through the Golan Heights. The Houthis deployed fighters from Yemen to Syria to escalate operations against Israel, “a brigade-sized force, made up of several thousand elite Ansar Allah fighters, arrived in Syria in small groups via Jordan, with high-level Syrian-Lebanese intelligence coordination.” “The Yemeni force that arrived in Syria is considered one of the strongest and most well-prepared and equipped combat formations of Ansar Allah,” the source added.
The force was trained on attacking targets simulating Israeli settlements and military bases over the last few months. Four senior military commanders of the Houthis with experience in missile and drones entered Syria coming from Iraq on August 2.same day that Houthi fighters were deployed in the region.
“In recent days, Houthi fighters from Iraq have arrived in southern Syria to open a new front using drones against Israel, where they will be stationed in the Golan Heights near the Israeli border”.
In addition to the Outhit, there are credible reports of fighters from Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Pakistan pouring into Syria, and heading for the Golan Heights – a very worrying factor for the US and the Rothschild trinity – Britain, France and Israel.
Russian Equation
The Russian Military Police established another observation post in the southern Syrian governorate of al-Quneitra to de-escalate tensions between Syria and Israel along the Golan Heights front, Captain 1st Rank Oleg Ignasyuk, deputy chief of the Russian Center for Reconciliation in Syria, announced on August 30.
“An additional observation post of the Russian military police has been set up in the interests of de-escalation of tension along the Bravo line in the zone of disengagement between the Israeli and Syrian armed forces in the al-Quneitra governorate,” the Russian military official said in a briefing, without elaborating.
Based on the 1974 Agreement on Disengagement, United Nations forces maintains a 235 square kilometers demilitarized zone in the Golan Heights. The zone straddles the Purple Line, separating the Israeli-occupied portion of Golan and the rest of Syria, where the west line is known as “Alpha”, and the east line as “Bravo”.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said that the new observation post was established in the western plains area of the town of Kodna in the western countryside of al-Quneitra. Photos showing the new post were posted to social networks. The photos showed Russian policemen in the post manning heavy machine guns and carrying anti-drone systems. This was the 15 such posts to be established by the Russian Military Police on the Golan front, according to the London-based monitoring group.
Many of the posts were established after the outbreak of the Israeli war on the Palestinian enclave of the Gaza Strip last October. The war caused more tensions on the Golan front with Israel escalating its strikes on Syria amid an increase in rocket attacks on occupied Syrian territories in the Heights.
As stated by the deputy chief of the Russian Center for Reconciliation in Syria, the main purpose of these posts is to de-escalate tensions between Syria and Israel. Ukraine and Israel are trying to spark major regional wars which they believe will solve their own problems at the expense of others, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has said.
9 Iran
In the evening hours of Saturday night to Sunday morning, 25 October, Israel struck Iran. This was to be expected. In the week prior to this attack, the US rushed 10 KC-135 refueling tankers. This would enable Israel to conduct this long-range strike. In addition, there are stories making the rounds that a second THAAD system has been sent to Israel.
Twenty-five days after Iran’s massive 1 October missile attacks on Israel, and following weeks of threats and bluster about its huge preparations, Tel Aviv unleashed its own offensive against military sites of the Islamic Republic of Iran in the early hours of Saturday, 26 October. The Israeli attack started in the capital, Tehran, where at around 02:15 local time (22:45 GMT), very loud explosions were heard on the western side of the city. Six explosions had been heard.
A Multi-Wave Attack
Israel employed tactics designed to evade traditional detection methods, potentially by using low-altitude or stealth drones. The second and third waves of strikes came two to four hours later when aerial defense systems became active in Iran’s western province of Ilam and the southwestern province of Khuzestan. This multi-wave strategy indicated a calculated attempt to wear down Iran’s defenses, probing their response times and resilience in multiple regions simultaneously.
With news about the initial raids ebbing, western media began to frame the Israeli strikes as enormous as well as successful. These evidence-free portrayals were met with skepticism from Iranian officials, who emphasized the effectiveness of their air defenses in minimizing any damage from Israeli strikes.
“Israel had sent a message to Tehran, ahead of the airstrikes, warning the Iranians not to respond.” “Despite all previous warnings from the Iranian authorities to the criminal, illegal Zionist regime against engaging in any form of adventurism, that fake regime in an escalating move struck military locations in Tehran, Ilam, and Khuzestan. The joint aerial defense of the country successfully intercepted and thwarted the aggressor’s raids. Despite that, limited damage was done to some sites with the extent of the harm being investigated.”
What were Tel Aviv’s Tactics?
Israel says it deployed over 100 F-35 fighter jets to conduct the offensive. The strikes in Tehran were actually carried out by small drones or quad copters. The Zionist regime’s agents in Tehran were involved in those attacks and Iranian anti-aircraft guns fired at those micro drones.
The use of Iraqi airspace by Israel was confirmed by the Khatam Al-Anbiya Air Defense Base. It has blamed the US military for allowing Israel to fire air-launched ballistic missiles into Iranian territory from 100 kilometers deep inside the Iraqi soil. No such permission had been granted from Iraqi authorities.
Baghdad was joined by other Arab capitals in strongly condemning the Israeli attack on Iranian soil without referring to the use of its airspace by Israel.
Limited Success or Major Damage?
University of Tehran academic and political analyst Mohammad Marandi says that “it was a big operation on the side of Israel and actually a considerable one, as Israelis did harm Iranian radar and defense systems.”
“The damage inflicted on Iranian military sites was not grave because the possibility of a direct confrontation with the United States convinced Iranians many years ago to relocate almost all sensitive sites and strategic production facilities underground. Neither warplanes nor missiles are able to penetrate into those underground facilities. What remains on the ground are small workshops producing missile spare parts and they are not sensitive sites. Iranians had conducted security and intelligence operations ahead of the strikes and succeeded in limiting the extent of damage by dummies and decoys as well as spreading misinformation about e scattered across the country, but not near borders, that’s why the strike failed to leave a significant harm.”
Now, this is what really happened. Israel sent 100 jets over 3 waves. The first wave was designed to take out radars and air defense sites. This would clear the way for the following 2 waves to strike their designated targets. Then, 2 hours later the second and third wave approached Iran. But, to their horror, they found that Iran’s EW was targeting them, and some 20 missiles were fired from a distance of between 70-100kms from the Iran border. These missiles had a small warhead causing minimal damage. A few of these missiles were shot down by the S-400 anti-air defense system. Israeli pilots say that – – “we discovered an unknown air defense over Iran”. In fear, the Israeli jets turned back. Those missiles that did strike any targets, the damage was minimal, as most of Iran’s strategic sites are buried deep underground. In addition, Russia’s Murmansk EW system spoofed the GPS on these missiles.
This Israeli strike was being hailed as a “great success ‘by Israel, the US and the UK. This is how the Empire of Lies operates. This Israeli strike proved to be an absolute failure. What this has proved to Israel and America that Iran defenses are impenetrable. In short, Iran has proved its deterrence capacity. It also proves that Iran has a powerful air defense network, while Israel’s air defense has proved to be an embarrassingly failure.
Immediately after the Iranian response on October 26th, the White House, in panic, rushed out a statement to say “It’s over”. Iran has proved to the West that its air defense is very strong and robust. T
Another point to note is the difference in size and strength between Iran and Israel. In terms of geographical size, military strength, industrial strength and energy resources. It’s like a bee trying to attack an elephant.
True Promise 3?
Saturday’s direct hits on the Iranian capital and Iran’s provincial military facilities were the first since 1987, when former Iraqi President Saddam Hussein’s military forces rained missiles on Tehran and other Iranian cities. The score, so far, is as follows. Israel struck Iran 3 times. Iran has responded 2 times. Definitely, Iran would respond to this 3rd attack. We just have to wait and see how this takes place, and when.
10 The Muslim/Arab World Unite?
The war in Gaza, it transpires, has blown a mile-wide hole in the falsehoods and fairytales that have kept the Middle East distracted with internecine conflicts since at least the 1979 Islamic Revolution in Iran.
Shia versus Sunni, Iran versus Arabs, secular versus Islamist: these are three of the west’s most nefarious narrative ploys that sought to control and redirect the region and its populations, and have even drawn Arab rulers into an ungodly alliance with Israel.
Facts are Destroying the Fiction
It took a rare conflict – uncooked and uncontrolled by Washington – to liberate West Asian masses from their narrative trance. Israel’s genocidal assault on Gaza also brought instant clarity to the question of which Arabs and Muslims actually support Palestinian liberation – and which do not.
Iran, Hezbollah, Iraqi resistance factions, and Yemen’s Ansarallah – maligned by these western narratives – are now visibly the only regional players prepared to buttress the Gaza frontline, whether through funds, weapons, or armed clashes that aim to dilute and disperse Israeli military resources.
The so-called ‘Arab world,’ a misnomer for the western-centric, authoritarian Arab dictatorships, subservient to Washington’s interests, has offered little more than lip service to the carnage in Gaza.
The Saudis called for support by hosting Arab and Islamic summits that were allowed to do and say The Emiratis and Jordanians supplies to Israel that Ansarallah blockaded by sea. The mighty Egypt hosted delegations when all it needed to have done was to open the so Palestinians can eat. Qatar – once a major Hamas donor – now for the freedom of Israeli captives, while hosting Hamas ‘moderates,’ who are at odds with Gaza’s freedom fighters. And Turkiye’s trade with the Israeli occupation state continues to (exports increased 35 percent from November to December 2023).
Palestine, for the pro-west ‘moderate Arabs,’ is a carefully handled flag they occasionally wave publicly, but sabotage privately. So, they watch, transfixed and horrified today, at what social media and tens of millions of protesters have made crystal clear: Palestine remains the essential Arab and Muslim cause; it may ebb and flow, but nothing has the power to inflame the region’s masses like this particular fight between right and wrong.
The Shift toward Resistance
It is early days yet in the battle unfolding between the region’s Axis of Resistance and Israel’s alliances, but the polls already show a notable shift in public sentiment toward the former.
The US saw its favorability numbers plummet the most, followed by the Arab allies that have normalized relations with Israel. Russia and China, both are neutral states, experienced little change, but Iran’s leadership saw its favorability figures rise.
The Saudi Shift
Prior to the 7 October operation by the Palestinian resistance to destroy the Israeli army’s Gaza Division and take captives as leverage for a mass prisoner swap, the region’s main geopolitical focus was on the prospects of a groundbreaking Saudi normalization deal with Tel Aviv. The administration of US President Joe Biden flogged this horse at every opportunity; it was seen as a golden ticket for his upcoming presidential election.
But Operation Al-Aqsa Flood ruined any chance for Saudi Arabia – home to Islam’s holiest sites – to seal that political deal. And with Israeli airstrikes raining down daily on Palestinian civilians in Gaza, Riyadh’s options continue to shrink.
Prior to 7 October, Saudis had strongly favored economic ties with Israel, but even that number dropped dramatically from 47 percent last year to 17 percent today. There will be no relief for Washington and its allies as the war expands. The more they work to defeat Hamas and destroy Gaza, and the more they lob missiles at Yemen, Iraq, and Syria, and besiege the Resistance Axis, the more likely Arab populations are to shrug off the Sunni-versus-Shia, Iran-versus-Arab, and secular-versus-Islamist narratives that have kept the region divided and at odds for decades. The swell of support that is mobilizing due to a righteous confrontation against the region’s biggest oppressors is unstoppable. Western decline is now a given in the region, but western lies and media narrative and optics has been the first casualty of this war.
The Top Four Cowards, in this instance, are Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Bahrain, and Morocco – the latter three having normalized relations with Israel under a heavy US hand in 2020. These are the ones that consistently blocked serious measures from being adopted at the OIC summit, such as the Algerian draft proposal for an oil ban on Israel, plus banning the use of Arab airspace to deliver weapons to the occupation state.
Egypt and Jordan – longtime Arab vassals – were also non-committal, as well as Sudan, which is in the middle of a civil war. Turkiye, under Erdogan, once again showed it is all talk and no action.
BRICS or IMEC?
The Top Four Cowards deserve some scrutiny. Bahrain is a lowly vassal hosting a key branch of the US Empire of Bases. Morocco has close relations with Tel Aviv – it sold out quickly after an Israeli promise to recognize Rabat’s claim on Western Sahara. Moreover, Morocco heavily depends on tourism, mainly from the collective west.
Then we have the big dogs, Saudi Arabia and the UAE. Both are stacked to the rafters with American weaponry, and, like Bahrain, also host US military bases. Saudi Crown Prince MbS and his old mentor, Abu Dhabi ruler MbZ, do factor in the threat of color revolutions tearing through their regal domains if they deviate too much from the accepted imperial script. Saudi Arabia and UAE were only admitted into the expanded BRICS because of careful geopolitical and geo-economics calculations by the Russia-China strategic partnership. So, in the end, too many Muslim states choosing humiliation over righteousness were thinking in very narrow, pragmatic, national interest terms. Geopolitics is pitiless. It is all about natural resources and markets. If you don’t have one, you need the other, and if you have none, a Hegemon dictates what you’re allowed to have.
The Arab and Muslim street – and the Global Majority – may rightfully feel dejected when they see how these “leaders” are not ready to turn the Islamic world into real power pole within the emerging multipolarity. It wouldn’t happen any other way. Many key Arab states are not Sovereign entities. They are all boxed in, victims of a vassal mentality. They’re not ready – yet – for their close-up facing History. And sadly, they still remain hostage to their own “century of humiliation.” The humiliating coup de grace was dispatched by none other than the Tel Aviv genocidal maniac himself: he threatened everyone in the Arab world if they don’t shut up – which they already did.
Of course, there are very important Arab and Muslim brave-hearts in Iran, Syria, Palestine, Iraq, Lebanon, and Yemen. While not a majority by any means, these Resistance actors reflect the sentiment on the Street like no other. And with Israel’s war expanding each day, their regional and global clout is set to increase immeasurably; just as in all of the Hegemon’s other regional wars.
A Shift has Begun
In recent days, one notices a shift amongst Israel’s Muslim neighbors. Iran and Saudi Arabia are conducting joint naval drills in the Red Sea. Egypt has also expressed willingness to participate. At the same time, there is an upcoming aerial drill involving Pakistan, Iran and Turkey. Now, Egypt and Saudi Arabia have also announced their intention to join this as well.
This came about due to the deteriorating situation in the region. These countries are joining up to prevent the US/Israeli rampage across the region.
10 US-Israel
The Pentagon announced on 12 September that the USS Theodore Roosevelt aircraft carrier and the USS Daniel Inouye destroyer have been ordered to sail back to US shores after a three-month stint in West Asian waters, leaving the USS Abraham Lincoln and over a dozen other warships behind to stand in “defense” of Israel.
US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin last month ordered the Roosevelt to extend its deployment to the Gulf of Oman and the Lincoln to make haste to the region. The two aircraft carriers overlapped their deployment for three weeks. The Roosevelt and the Inouye are expected to be in the Indo-Pacific Command’s region on Thursday. The nuclear-powered USS Georgia submarine was also recently deployed to the region, joining thousands of US troops already present in the region. The warships have played a significant role in Washington’s illegal war against Yemen, allowing US jets to launch dozens of air raids alongside the UK Royal Air Force in a failed attempt to deter Sanaa’s pro-Palestine operations.
Over the past several weeks, the Pentagon shifted its warships from the Red Sea to the Gulf of Oman and deployed additional fighter jets, ballistic missile defense-capable cruisers, and destroyers to Europe and the Middle East.
Washington’s heavy militarization of the region intensified after Iran, Yemen, and Lebanon’s Hezbollah pledged to “punish” Israel for attacks that killed senior political leaders and military commanders.
Earlier this month, Israeli media revealed that Washington warned Tel Aviv that US naval forces “cannot indefinitely be deployed” to the Middle East to protect Israel. Channel 13 revealed that a message was sent urging Israel to de-escalate tensions with Hezbollah and Iran because “the [US] aircraft carriers will not be able to stay in the area. Israel thus made the U.S. (and most of Europe) partners or accomplices to a war now definitively cast as neo-imperialism versus the whole of the non-West.
Palestinians – the global icons of the aspiration for national liberation – were to be annihilated from historic Palestine. Plainly, it marks the end to ‘playing nice’ – of incrementally escalating, one calculated step after another – as if playing chess with an opponent who calculates similarly. Both now threaten to take a hammer to the chess board. ‘Chess is over’. It seems that Moscow too, understands that ‘chess’ simply cannot be played when the opponent is no ‘adult’, but a reckless sociopath ready to sweep away the board – to gamble all on an ephemeral ‘great victory’ move.
So, in the Middle East the U.S. is now supporting a war against humanity per se, and against the world. This clearly cannot be in America’s self-interest. The strategy of using Israel as the regional battering ram to achieve U.S. (imperial) objectives was worked out essentially in the 1960s by Senator Henry “Scoop” Jackson. Jackson was nicknamed ‘the Senator from Boeing’ for his support for the military-industrial complex.
But when all of this strategy was being put together, Herman Khan’s great achievement was to convince the U.S. Empire builders that the key to achieving their control in the Middle East was to rely on Israel as its foreign legion. And that arms-length arrangement enabled the U.S. to play the role, of the ‘good cop’, whilst designating Israel to play its role as ruthless proxy. And that’s why the State Department turned over management of U.S. diplomacy to Zionists – to separate and distinguish Israeli behavior from the claimed probity of U.S. imperialism.
The virtue of Jackson for Zionists is precisely that he was not Jewish, a defender of the military complex and a strong opponent of the arms control system that was underway. And he proceeded to stuff the State Department and other U.S. agencies with neocons (Paul Wolfowitz, Richard Pearl, Douglas Fife, among others), who, from the beginning, planned for a permanent worldwide war. The takeover of government policy was led by Jackson’s former senate aides.
Herman’s analysis was systems analysis: “Well, you can see what the Israeli policy is today. First of all, you isolate the Palestinians [into] strategic hamlets. That’s what Gaza had already been turned into for the last 15 years”.
“The aim all along has been to kill them; or first of all, to make life so unpleasant for them that they’ll emigrate. That’s the easy way. Why would anyone want to stay in Gaza when what’s happening to them is what’s happening today? You’re going to leave. But if they don’t leave, you’re going to have to kill them, ideally by bombing because that minimizes the domestic casualties”, Hudson notes.
“And nobody seems to have noticed that what is happening in Gaza and the West Bank now – is all based on the “strategic hamlets” idea from the Vietnam War: the fact that you could just divide all of Vietnam into little parts, having guards at all the transition points from one part to another. Everything that Israel is doing to the Palestinians in Gaza and elsewhere throughout Israel was pioneered in Vietnam”.
The Scoop Jackson neo-cons were brought in – from the beginning – to do exactly what they’re doing today; to empower Israel as America’s proxy, to conquer the oil-producing countries, and make them part of greater Israel. And the aim of the United States was always oil. That meant the United States had to secure the Middle East and there were two proxy armies to do it. And these two armies fought together as allies, down to today. On the one hand, the al-Qaeda jihadis, on the other hand, their managers, the Israelis, hand in hand.
What we’re seeing is a charade that somehow what Israel is doing is “all Netanyahu’s fault, all the fault of the Right-wing there” – and yet from the very beginning they were promoted, supported with huge amounts of money, all of the bombs they needed, all the armaments they needed, all the funding they needed … All of that was given to them precisely to do exactly what they’re doing today”.
The ‘bedrock’ is the understanding that western democracies no longer can field a domestic army through conscription. ‘And what that means is that today’s tactics are limited to bombing, but not occupying countries. Thus, Israel – whose forces are limited – can drop bombs on Gaza and Hezbollah, and try to knock out things, but neither the Israeli army, nor any other army, would really be able to invade and try to take over a country, or even south Lebanon – in the way that armies did in World War II – so the U.S. drew the lesson. It turned to proxies.
So what is left for the United States? Well, I think there’s only one form of non-atomic war that democracies can afford, and that’s terrorism [i.e. positively seeking huge collateral deaths]. And I think you should look at Ukraine and Israel as the terrorist alternative to atomic war. The U.S. is not going to send troops. It can’t do that. The 2 families have tried terrorism and the result of terrorism is to align the rest of the world against the West, appalled by the wanton killing and by the breaking of all of the rules of war.
The Rockefeller family and its associated network of power say “Well, who wants to live in a world where we can’t control? Who wants to live in a world where other countries are independent, where they have their own policy? Who wants to live in a world where we can’t siphon off their economic surplus for us? If we can’t take everything and dominate the world, well, who wants to live in that kind of a world?”
That’s the mentality with which we’re dealing; ‘Playing nice’ won’t change that paradigm. Failure does.
As fast as a snake’s thrust, Israel has taken the methods of mass murder used against Gaza’s civilians to the West Bank, to Lebanon and Syria, to Yemen and beyond. It is now launching about for the next country to attack – Iran.
Internal Israel
Project Israel is now in its final stages of vanishing. The Rothschilds have failed. Look at its military machine. Its back is broken. More than 75 % of its tanks are destroyed. It has no spare parts for thoise it can fix. The soldiers and reservists are deserting in rising numbers- about 15 % at last count. The suicide rate has gone through the roof. They are not winning. The military lacks clear strategic objectives. They are playing a game of genocide and destruction. The result is plummeting morale.
The instability within Israel is increasing as the war is brought to their streets and homes. The security services uncovered an Iranian spy ring that was operating for years- all these spies were Jews!
Bibi’s house was bombed about a week ago – thus forcing the cabinet to hold meetings in underground bunkers. Then came news of Israeli soldiers captured inside Lebanon- reports say around 17 Israeli soldiers. There are increasing reports of bus/truck rammings on Israeli soldiers and reservists. Many die and even more get injured. In addition to car bombs, stabbings, shootings, etc. There is no place safe for the Zionists and thieves in Israel proper. The war has reached their door.
