The expanding Israel-Hamas war

[rareboy]

And they continue to lie about everything....

There's going to be a report coming out that cites the military's After Action Report is that, contrary to the lies from Trump this weekend, the 30,000 pound bombs they dropped only damaged the entrance tunnels to the Iranian sites.

Trump lied, as usual, saying that this was a permanent end to Iran's nuclear program. The media reported this even though there was no supporting evidence from the intelligence agencies of the military.

It's more likely that Iran was only impacted in a matter of weeks or months. The Iranian public will now be pressing for nuclear capabilities out of fear of Israeli's over-reaction.

The US pulled out of the Obama Administration's agreement with Iran. Other countries did not and international inspectors had been monitoring Iran's known sites. This action by Trump will make it likely that Iran will not co-operate with inspectors and Iran will likely continue their program at other sites (if they weren't doing so already).

^ This.

The only reason the west (US) continually gets sucked into sectarian violence in the Middle East is oil.

You know... I was thinking about this earlier today and I almost mentioned oil in the earlier post about how the UK and US are like Charlie Brown, Lucy and the football when it comes to the middle east.

Israel is another matter. It doesn't have oil and the place is a desert that is fucking hot and miserable. Support of Israel was originally about Eleanor Roosevelt, AIPAC and western guilt about not accepting Jewish refugees before they were shipped off to concentration camps during WWII.

Around the same time as I was thinking about this, Trump came out with another one of his statements about how Germany and Japan should have their own military that they paid for and that they needed to stop freeloading off the US military. He specifically said that, "WWII was 80 years ago!".

This made me think, "And what about Israel?". It's been 80 years there, too.

Jesus.

Even Israel is calling Trump's big bad bombing raid a dud.

 

[rareboy]

And now even Trump is backing off. This is like a verbal Sharpie marker.

I don’t know if it’s a good idea to be trolling this lunatic. He’s fucked up enough to drop a nuke on them just to prove a point.

The European Press is thinking to themselves, "Oh no. We thought Biden was losing it toward the end... Trump makes Biden sound coherent."

And so the solution is not to share intelligence.

Here's what they are covering up: The Pentagon, Hegseth's own people, leaked the excerpts from the report.

The Pentagon hates Pete Hegseth. They don't respect him. They know he's a fake and a blowhard. They want to take him down.

The conclusion of the report belongs to the American public and the Trump Administration can only withhold information that is related to sources and methods.

They're lying. They got caught.

Meanwhile, far away in another part of town
Rubin Carter and a couple of friends are drivin' around
Oops, sorry, wrong Bob. This one's a very different style of music, Vylan, Bob Vylan. Last week this wonderful punky twosome commited the most hideous of crimes. They shouted out against the IDF at the Glastonbury pop festival. Outrage! Disgust! The UK chief rabbi called it vile antisemitism. I didn't know that there was any other kind but vile.
Meanwhile, far away in another part of the world,
That same IDF continued business as usual, murdering civilians, commiting war crimes. No outrage at that. No disgust. Butchering children is fine, but how dare you shout slogans at a pop concert.
To shout 'death to the IDF' is risky, they knew it was. It is easy to pretend that is a death threat when it is not. The target of the slogan is an organisation, not any person or group of persons. There was no death threat.
War crimes are serious offences, a guilty organisation must be stopped. Allowing the IDF to continue is the death threat.

Israel has declared war on Syria, launching a massive attack on Damascus, bombing the Ministry of Defense and striking near the presidential palace.

Israel is out of control.

I was listening to NPR today to hear a British doctor as to what he sees.
Gaza

 

[Norri]

When operating inside Iran the Israelites seem to know where everyone on their radar is and where they will be should their demise be ordered. Yet somehow in Gaza at food distribution locations which they set up and are running when starving humans head their way they are not sure who they are and why they are moving together. The excuses the IDF gives for these deaths are comical given what an efficient force it has shown itself to be.

For the Jews living in Israel it’s their misfortune to live in a democracy, had they been living in an autocracy their personal responsibility would not be an issue but in a democracy it certainly is and come the next election should the current government be reelected every Jew in Israel will have innocent blood on their hands.

I heard that report too and hats off to that doctor, I know he has been going to Gaza for many yrs but he didn’t always have to fear for his life but now he does and he still goes.

The Israelis live in the most deficient and corrupt travesty of democracy.

Their governments are pasted together from a coalition of a dozen parties...with the power bent toward the religious right and those who would use them for power....like Netenyahu.

But coddled by their largesse from the US Zionists, the hodge podge of Jewish diaspora refugees have assumed an outsized influence in the Middle East and global affairs.

At this point, the US is finanacing and arming Israel to commit the worst genocide of this century.

And hopefully history will record the truth.
