The four horsemen of the Apocalypse)
Attacking Gaza has been Netanyahu’s go-to plan
to counter domestic discontent for decades.
by Henry Makow PhDHaim Bresheeth-Zabner’s book “An Army Like No Other” (2019) is an eyeopener. It establishes that the current genocide is not an aberration but a continuation of a consistent policy of ethnic cleansing and genocide upon which the State of Israel was built.
Indeed, Benjamin Netanyahu had a policy of slaughtering Gazans whenever there was domestic unrest in Israel, such as the opposition to his “judicial reforms” prior to Oct 7, 2023. For example, in 2012, there were protests due to the high cost of living.
“Netanyahu (who was trailing badly in the polls) decided to give the public its favorite medicine, an attack on Gaza. The 2012 attack on Gaza put an end to the social protest and boosted Netanyahu to a leading position again. While the Israeli Jewish tribes are deeply divided on many issues, the “security” issue serves as the most effective social adhesive.” (p.344)
Only an external threat can hold the country together.
While Israel gives lip service to a “two-state solution” its goal has always been to control Palestine from “the sea to the river” and beyond. This is more true now that parties representing the 800,000 “settlers” in the West Bank have taken control of the government and the IDF.
Israel’s treatment of the Palestinians has always been barbaric. “During the Christmas festivities of 2008, Israel moved into Gaza with enormous force. Almost 1500 Palestinians were killed, mostly civilians, of which more than 400 were children. The devastation in Gaza was more intense than in any IDF assault. Israel hit at the infrastructure–electricity, gas and water systems, fragile in Gaza at the best of times and already affected by the blockade Israel announced in 2006.”
“In the following two incursions into Gaza during Nov. 2012 and July-August 2014, the already terrifying level of death and destruction was surpassed: the IDF killled 2310 Gazans in the summer of 2014 and wounded 10,626. Entire swaths of Gaz neighborhoods disappeared overnight, with more than 120,000 people losing their homes. The infrastructure, partially repaired since the last attack, lay in ruins.” (322)
They did the same thing to Beirut in 1982. In fact, the doctrine of inflicting disproportionate destruction is named after “Dahiya” the district of Beirtut that Israel flattened. (207)
I was struck by the total barbarism and lack of common humanity displayed by the Israelis, people who regard themselves as civilized.
The West has signed on to a sinking ship. Israel gets 55% of all US Military aid.
If you understand the fanaticism of Israel’s leaders, you realize there is no hope for peace. The leadership comes from the most fanatic element of Israeli society, the settlers. The fastest growing population are the heredi or Orthodox Jews who contribute nothing but demand all kinds of subsidies and privileges. They support the expulsion or liquidation of Palestinians.
HB-Z explains that war is Israel’s bread and butter. The IDF is the richest institution in the country. More than 20% of the population work for it or the military Industrial complex it fosters. They have created a society that “feeds on aggression, thriving by it.” (198)
While the Zionists may pay lip service to compromise, there will be none. The only way to stop the genocide is to defeat Israel in combat.
I suspect that this is what Iran, Turkey and Russia are planning. This will result in the third Masonic Jewish world war. —
Afterword- I am glad to hear that Hamas has accepted a ceasefire. Israel hasn’t yet. I expect this “ceasefire” is just a ploy on Israel’s part. Israel’s ruthless record speaks for itself. Israel’s moral exceptionalism derives from the Holocaust which Zionists organizedto manipulate Jews into establishing the State.
