The Hamas attacks on Israel have led to predictable reflexive responses among pro Israel and pro Palestine advocates. As I mentioned in a previous article, I am not interested in Zionists or Antisemites perspectives, debating a history of grievances and sifting through the hate guided by religious zealotry. As I stated, not my monkeys not my circus, there is a cloud on the title to the property, and I would not buy that land. The avoidance of world war, ethnic cleansing and more atrocities, are of interest.
The media is in full war propaganda mode. Politicians are all on board with the invasion of the Gaza strip. Republican presidential candidates are elbowing each other out of the way to be the strongest Israel firster. Vivek Ramaswami may be the exception. Ramaswami has been critical of Nikki Haley and her ‘finish them’ comments and cautioned against military involvement, of spreading the war, and of starting a war with Iran. Elaborating in this interview with Tucker Carlson, Ramaswami points out that foreign policy should be guided by U.S. interests and not of selective outrage. Ramaswami points out that instead the selective outrage is largely guided by foreign lobbying interests.
In short, the media generated blood lust is the new normal, again. Social media is filled with I stand with Israel memes as they were standing with Ukraine a short time ago. However, once it was realized that Russia is not Iraq, and the horrible increase in death and destruction in Ukraine was caused by escalating the war, rather than seeking to deescalate it immediately, support has dramatically waned. If there was greater engagement of the frontal lobes rather than the amygdala, Americans would be a little more cautious about potentially igniting another front in a World War that may have started in early 2020.
Yes, early 2020. That is when coincidently just about every country, even so called enemies, implemented the same stupid unscientific playbook and locked humans up in their homes, coerced for forced masks, following lines on the floor, standing 6 feet apart, and then nearly a year later, forced or coerced a biological weapon on their people.
By the way, not one presidential candidate, not one, has had the courage to state the obvious, that Americans, and the world population, have been targeted with biological warfare, and the C19 and mRNA injections are biological weapons. Where is their outrage? Where is their righteous indignation? Are any of them standing with the victims of the biological warfare campaign?
Crickets….crickets…crickets…
Increasingly the Hamas attacks looks like it may have been a false flag. Lauren Witzke interviewed Jewish charity leader Cecily Routman, who claims that an Israeli Rabbi and other top level government sources reported that the IDF was given stand down orders for 7 hours, while Hamas attacked. Another interview with an Israeli peace activist reported that he believed the attack was a false flag. This interview was conducted by David Icke. He pointed out that there was no response for close to eight hours and that two tanks were stolen as well as the implausibility of the events that occurred. Charlie Kirk of Turning Point USA, a fairly mainstream guy, also questioned if stand down orders were given. Kirk points out that Israel was potentially heading toward civil war as Netanyahu was seeking to strip the Supreme Court of its power. He also points out as others have that Israel is a virtual fortress the size of New Jersey and the likelihood of the attack going on while live streamed by Hamas with no response from the IDF is questionable at best.
Consider that one Apache helicopter would have taken out all those hang gliders…
A false flag could be anything from having prior knowledge and looking the other way, giving stand down orders, or even having Mossad agents embedded in the Hamas groups attacking. It should be noted that regardless of how horrific the attacks were, that actually has no bearing on whether this was a false flag or not. It either was, or it wasn’t. As ugly as the attacks were, if the Israeli government betrayed their own people, that is much uglier.
If this was not a false flag operation then Israel has a right to self defense, however, targeted responses toward the groups involved is more appropriate than demolishing Gaza. Although, understandably, there is an emotional component that is seeking revenge. Israeli President, Isaac Herzog stated, “It is an entire nation out there that is responsible,”.…“It is not true this rhetoric about civilians not being aware, not involved. It’s absolutely not true.” Herzog later in the press conference appeared to back track slightly and qualify this statement.
Meanwhile an air assault is going on in response to Hamas, unleashing bombing operations in Palestine/Gaza. This is already killing civilians. The Palestine/Gaza Strip is about the size of Brooklyn and has approximately 2.2 million people. The average age is reportedly 18 years old and 47% of the population are children. Israel has directed the 1.1 million civilians living in the northern half of the Gaza strip to evacuate ahead of a ground invasion. AP reports that UN shelters are without water and the crises is getting worse. Israel has cut the flow of food water and medicine to Gaza. We may see a genocide or ethnic cleansing in real time. Or at a minimum a horrible number of civilians and children killed in this attack.
