War In Gaza: Why Now?
Election Politics?
It was widely reported that Israel agreed to delay any war against Iran until after U.S. elections.
A little over a week after the election, Israel launched a "targeted assassination" against the leader of Hamas (who Haaretz called Israel's subcontractor in Gaza). That is what started the current round of fighting. Rabbi Arthur Waskow agrees that Israel started the fighting.
Professor Michel Chossudovsky notes:
On November 14, Hamas military commander Ahmed Jabari was murdered in a Israeli missile attack. In a bitter irony, barely a few hours before the attack, Hamas received the draft proposal of a permanent truce agreement with Israel.
“Hours before Hamas strongman Ahmed Jabari was assassinated, he received the draft of a permanent truce agreement with Israel, which included mechanisms for maintaining the cease-fire in the case of a flare-up between Israel and the factions in the Gaza Strip.”(Haaretz, November 15, 2012)
The targeted assassination of Ahmed Jabari was followed by an extensive bombing campaign under Operation Pillar of Cloud. The latter consists of a carefully planned military endeavor.
F-16 fighter planes, Apache helicopters and unmanned drones were deployed. Israeli naval forces deployed along the Gaza shoreline were involved in extensive shelling of civilian targets.
Israel’s defense minister Ehud Barack has confirmed a scenario of military escalation, blaming Palestine for having committed acts of aggression: .
“[t]he provocations we have suffered and the firing of rockets to the southern settlements within Israel have forced us to take this action. I want to make clear that Israeli citizens will not suffer such actions. The targets are to hit the rockets and to harm the organization of Hamas.”
The Israeli attacks were followed by the firing of dozens of rockets by Hamas against Israel.
Palestine’s response was known to Israeli war planners. The resulting Israeli civilian casualties are now being used to justify military escalation on humanitarian grounds.
What we are dealing with is a carefully planned operation, a clear act of provocation. The deaths of Israeli civilians (envisaged and foreseen by IDF military planners) are being used to muster the support of the Israeli public.
Meanwhile, the Israeli attack is casually portrayed by the Western media as part of a legitimate counter-terrorism agenda.
(Glenn Greenwald notes that America’s targeted assassination policy is identical to that of Israel. This could escalate quickly. Not only are Israel and Hamas exchanging rocket fire – with casualties of children on both sides - but Israel is calling up calling up 30,000 reserve soldiers ahead of a possible ground invasion of Gaza.)
Israel is holding its own elections in January. Many commentators say that the attacks on Gaza are a cynical ploy by the Israeli Prime Minister to win re-election:
Netanyahu was accused by left-wing opposition Hadash party MP Mohammed Baraka [the leader of the Israeli Hadash opposition party] of “making another round in a circle of blood for cynical political interests” and “speculating in the blood of the Palestinian people.”
***
Labour MP Jeremy Corbyn denounced the regime, saying that “once again Israel has wantonly attacked the people of Gaza, bombing and killing.
“This is effectively a first world state attacking a poor and largely defenceless population. It looks like a rerun of Operation Cast Lead,” he said.
“The timing is interesting and it looks like Netanyahu is creating a crisis to ensure his re-election”, the MP added.
Leading German newspaper Spiegel reports:
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is hoping the offensive in the Gaza Strip wins his Likud party more votes in January’s election.
***
“When the cannons roar, we see only Netanyahu and Barak on the screen, and all the other politicians have to applaud them,” wrote the daily Haaretz in a commentary published Thursday. “The assassination of (Hamas’ top military commander Ahmed) Jabari will go down in history as another showy military action initiated by an outgoing government on the eve of an election.”
Indeed, one can conclude that the most recent offensive against militants in the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip– which started Wednesday with the killing of Jabari — has been conceived as more of a show fight for the Israeli public than the beginning of a decisive battle.
And Asia times writes:
So why snuff out al-Jabari? Simple. Israel goes to the polls in January. Thus emerges Bibi's political campaigning in full-action mode. Campaign motto: Let's kill Palestinians. With such thrills on offer, any other Israeli political voice - even slightly dissenting - is drowned.
Precursor to War with Iran?
The top British Rabbi – when asked by the BBC on his thoughts on what’s really going on in Gaza right now – replied:
I think it has got to do with Iran, actually.
Why Iran?
Anti War lays out one theory:
This escalation occurs just days after widespread reports about newly reelected Obama mulling a grand bargain with Iran over its disputed nuclear program. Barbara Slavin and Laura Rozen at Al-Monitor reported on Monday that US officials told them Washington was considering offering a “more for more” deal with Iran, based on the fuel swap deal from Obama’s first term.
So what does Israel’s impending war on defenseless Gaza have to do with Iran diplomacy? Here’s a tweet from the Tehran bureau chief for the New York Times, Thomas Erdbrink:
Forget ANY #Iran-US talks if conflict in Gaza escalates
— Thomas Erdbrink (@ThomasErdbrink) November 14, 2012
And here:
#Iran leaders can never be seen as talking to US, while its “eternal” ally Israel assassinates Iran’s ideological allies
— Thomas Erdbrink (@ThomasErdbrink) November 14, 2012
I suspect this point was not lost on the Israeli leadership, either. So, is Netanyahu knowingly escalating military tensions in order to avoid a successful diplomatic overture? I’m speculating, but it isn’t far fetched. We know from extensive reporting, mainly in Israeli media, that in 2010 – just as President Obama requested a freeze on Jewish settlements in the West Bank with the aim of resuming peace talks – Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu tried to provoke Iran into a war with Israel that would eventually drag in the United States.
It reminds me of what former CIA Middle East analyst Paul Pillar referred to this week as “Netanyahu’s tension-stoking brinksmanship: to divert attention from continued Israeli occupation of Palestinian territory and inaction on the festering Israeli-Palestinian conflict.” “[T]he Iran issue,” Pillar has previously written, provides a “distraction” from international “attention to the Palestinians’ lack of popular sovereignty.” Now the situation seems reversed: Israel is escalating war with Gaza to maintain deadlock with their favorite scapegoat, Iran.
Israel, lest we forget, instigated this resumption of missile exchanges last week when two Palestinian civilians were shot and killed and
Israeli tanks intruded into Gaza, prompting Gaza militants to respond by targeting Israeli soldiers, which then gave Israel an excuse to unleash successive airstrikes. And Israel had numerous chances to pacify the situation, considering Hamas publicly offered to establish a total ceasefire and Egypt appeared about to broker a truce between the two. Israel has intentionally inched towards escalation from the beginning. Are we to believe this isn’t strategic?
A second theory is that this is a prelude to an Israeli attack on Iran. Specifically, some theorize that Israeli is trying to assassinate top Hamas militants before hitting Iran … so that Iran’s proxy Hamas cannot retaliate.
A third theory is that Israel is trying to drag Iran into a war. Given that Israeli treatment of Palestinians is perhaps the key source of hostility towards the current Israeli administration in the Arab world, starting a war in Gaza may be an attempt by Israeli to drag Iran into war.
After all, Iran backs Hamas, and Israel just assassinated a top Hamas leader after making an overture of peace to him. So some believe that Israel is attempting to poke the hornet’s nest in an attempt to justify wider war.
By provoking Hamas into attacking, Israel might point to Hamas-backer Iran. Specifically, Israel may claim that pre-emptive strikes on Iran are "necessary" to undermine Hamas and make sure it doesn't obtain "weapons of mass destruction".

Thanks, to you Hannibal, and to The Roving Eye on Asia Times.I put excerpts from this amazing article on John Aziz's latest post.
The plot all along was to force Iran to make the first move... sanctions... then arming and funding terrorists in Iran... and now this. Iran has not bite so far... they are not stupid.
Persia was historically friendly with Israel, with a few exceptions (Purim's Haman) but all bets are off now in an age when even its chief ally cannot be trusted like in the past. Israel knows Iran is alied with Russia and that war of invasion from the north is etched into their psyche I'm sure.
I'm sure Russia would love to see nothing better than an all out nuclear war between Israel and Iran. Remember, Russia sells oil, and they are a high cost producer. China, on the other hand, would be very unhappy to lose access to Iranian oil.
Who hasn't known that since Operation Ajax blew up?
ok i give up, what was op Ajax?
Project Ajax took place long enough ago that the information is now declassified.
It is open to easy public reaserch, to discover what happened, and why it did ...
stiler, why not use an Internet search engine, before asking that question?

And I just love all of the "you must be an anti-Semite" (misnomer since there are just one whole hell of a lot of Semites who aren't Jewish) "neo-Nazi" if you point out that Israel isn't blameless in everything they do or that happens to them.
Frankly, I don't give a rat's ass about what Superfriend in the Sky bronze age BULLSHIT one side or the other believes in and, frankly, I believe the entire world would be far better off if ALL players in this CONSTANT religion and OIL-based Middle East BULLSHIT suddenly ceased to exist and have sympathy for NONE of them, but when I see total one sided BS from and about any foreign nation being used to manipulate the public opinion, elections and government policies of MY country, I call it out and it has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with whatever BULLSHIT superstition they may happen to subscribe to.
There are plenty of people here unfortunately taking the anti-Jewish angle, but I am not among them and, I believe, neither is George Washington.
Why would the US do This ?
Because the same Jewish Banksters and corporations and governments that they controlled in 1953 still FUCKING CONTROL IT. Jews make BAD planetlords
They have contolled it since 1913
“Whoever controls the volume of money in our country is absolute master of all industry and commerce…and when you realize that the entire system is very easily controlled, one way or another, by few powerful men at the top, you will not have to be told how periods of inflation and depression originate.” – President James Garfield, 2 weeks before his assassination.

now if only the CIA would overthrow the thawb-and-agal wearing, prime minister of Saudi Arabia then maybe I can afford the gas to get to my 2 shit paying jobs (part-time, of course). jesus, i sound like a politician...
Not a politician, just an enlightened Slave
The CIA couldn't overthrow a baseball atm.
Perhaps someone here knows what Israel has against Iran, anyway. (I assume that the conflicts in Palestine and Syria prepare for their assault on Iran.) I don't believe their motivation is Iran's nuclear programs. That is recent and contrived, whereas, this antipathy seems to be more longer-standing. --- So, what is this really about?
Historically Iran/Persia seems to have acted significantly to their benifit, during times when they were laboring under severe difficulties:
Specifically, the Persians freed them from their Babalonic captivity, around 500 BC, and made them the governors of the Province of Syria. --- Incidentally, that appears to have been the origin of the Jewish concept of "Greater Israel."
Also, about 600 years later, after the Jewish diaspora, Persia created the position of the Exilarch and appointed a member of the Jewish Royal family to that position. He ruled over the Jews in whatever nation they lived and, also, was a member of the top council of Persia. That position still existed at the time of Charlemagne.
So, what was the terrible thing that the Persians did to them, for which they are, now, seeking revenge?
Post-revolution Iran cannot be viewed a the Persion nation, because it is not. Persia died in 1979. Iran is the core of the Shiite Nation. And the Shia want power and empire. They have old grievances against their main rivals - the Sunni. And the Sunni outnumber them worldwide, almost 10-1. Israel is a foil that galvanizes and unites all Muslims. The Shia intend to use the Islamic opposition to Israel so they can be the champion of all Islam, and lead Islam to victory against the Jews. Iran wants a Shiite Empire that controls the whole Middle East, and all of its oil.
What does Israel want? They want all the land that was ever part of Historic Israel - and that's pretty much it. But that land is claimed by all of Islam, and is a rallying cry for war. Israel is a black mark on the honor of the Islamic Nation as long as Israel exists. It is an enemy beachhead on the holiest Islamic lands. And that is why Iran must destroy Israel in order to claim rightful leadership of all the Islamic people.
Thank you. You raise an interesting point, that is new to me.
Of course the Iranian people are the same as the Persians but the State is no longer Persian. Similarly, as various people have pointed out above, the Zionists are mostly only nominally related to the historical Jews, if at all. That is why the motivation for the conflict seems so disconnected from their historical past, because, it is not a conflict between Jews and Persians, but a conflict between "Jews" who are not Jews and a State that is not Persian.
Isreal is a tool and a foil for the international banksters. The real goal is the global consolidation of the international banksters' power to make money out of nothing, and force everyone else to accept that. The banksters have already taken control of the Anglo-American world. Islam is in the way of the hegemony of the banksters. Therefore, this has all been a prolonged plan to achieve a global government, wherein the privatized fiat money-as-debt supply becomes totally triumphant. You understand nothing if you do not understand that the supreme form of wealth and power is the ability to legally counterfeit money, and to have governments everywhere force everyone else to accept that.
With that power, one can continue to buy up control of all natural resources.
The history of Israel was an aspect of the international banksters' global agenda!
P.S.
Iranians did NOT say "wipe Israel off the map" ...
they said its current regime should be wiped out.
Of course, NONE of that matters. The reality is based on runaway huge lies, backed by lots of violence, serving established systems of fraud and robbery. The "truth" is not going to matter, nor make any difference, (except that stating it may well get one eventually killed for saying it.) We are already committed to runaway global insanity, of electronic fiat money frauds, backed up by atomic bombs. Islam is in the way of the complete victory of the international banksters being able to make endless money out of nothing, and being able to force everyone else to pay endless interest on that fraudulent money supply. This is ALL just the biggest and best organized gang of criminals attempting to wipe out other smaller, and less well organized gangs of criminals.
Overall, everyone is going to lose!
However, the real world is way too far gone into its insanity to stop that from happening anyways ...
The Arab world is in the way? Or an integral, manufactured part of the occultist dialectic? Ever see a Shriner's certificate?
You paint a bleak picture..
...but ,there is one, bleaker still....the Khalifate..
...better a world run by Jews than a world run by ragheads..
...of course liberals would prefer the latter,in which case they are free to immigrate to Arabia..
Oh, get off the childish caliphate scare-tactic crap! Not gonna happen while the Talmudist puppets and their usury banster overlords literally own the world!
It is all so simple and so logical,but so many refuse to accept the truth. They were raised on lies built upon lies and the truth covered up for so long that they believe the world works differently.
All they would have to do is imagine what it would be like to print money anytime you needed it or wanted to buy something.
I was trying to figure out why the inbred Rothschilds and Rockefellers and all the other owners lived so fucking long. They are always way into their nineties before the animal criminal cockroach cocksuckers die.
If you did not have to worry or stress over anything, since you can do anything you want because you own and print the money the rest of us dumb motherfuckers must use. You would live a long fucking time too!
The people who have a lot of it say "Money isn't everything".
But if you have all the money and you get to print all the money plus you make the rest of the planet use your money. You sure as fuck will eventually buy everything. Then you can tell the people "money isn't everything"

this is the truth of the cause of the
bullshit we see today, as u say. the real world
is fine though, it is just indifferent to the
bullshit and the mortal effects that believing in
lies will have on the populations. i suspect the
state of israel and jewishness have nothing to do
with each other other than certain psychopaths have
hijacked the "religion" or culture for its historic
claim and cover of courage and pity thereby concealing
their true avarice and overreaching greed and masochistic
bents. there was and remains a very good reason why
political thinkers separate church and state. it is
a fine idea and method of avoiding the kind of
chicanery we see practiced with the neocons in general
and israel in particular, not to mention the many others.
the real world could give a flying fig whether we all
go insane and kill ourselves or not. or better yet,
some make death more attractive than life, the real world
is all in either way.
Yes, I agree, Blindman, when you "suspect the state of israel and jewishness have nothing to do
with each other other."
I find it an amusing point of history that the first "Zionists" were the descendents of Vikings. Also, more than 90% of the "Jews" converted to being "Jews" for reasons of political expediency, (genetically, they were Khazars, from central Asia.) What has actually happened is a hyper-complicated hybridization of both genetic and cultural traits, selected over time to evolve the current human ecology, within which is the political economy. Zionism is primarily a false front for an organized crime gang. The majority are not "Jews" in any meaningful sense, and certainly, more than 99% of them are not genetically descended from the original "Jews."
Here are a few links to stuff that my macabre sense of humour found more or less "amusing," although, I might end up being murdered because I blather on about it:
http://www.youtube.com/user/urokomovie
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yzdomBX8U0w
UROKO (full length)
ESPECIALLY THE LAST HALF HOUR OF THAT DOCUMENTARY DOES A GREAT JOB OF EMPHASIZING THE HYBRIZATIONS OF BOTH GENETIC AND CULTURAL GROUPS, THAT THEN BECAME THE BASIS FOR THE EVOLVING RULING CLASS, OPERATING THEIR ORGANIZED LIES AND ROBBERIES.
Of course, there is way, way more about the strands of those developments, which have been the roots of so-called "Jews," and "Zionisms." I do not think it matters who they are, but what they do. I also think it is extremely important to look deeper into HOW and WHY all ecologies of wildly different kinds of animals, in very different places and times, have tended to evolve similar ecologies. It is not an accident that there is large group of people that act like sheep, and a small group of people that act like wolves. I believe that there is no merit in saying we should all be better sheep, but rather, I believe we should ALL become better wolves. Anyway, here are a few more links, about the origins of some of the current top carnivores in the human ecology for whatever that may be worth?

An alternate look at WW1 & WW2 (p-1 of 4)
The 4 parts total about 40 minutes.
It is a scratchy recording of a 1961 lecture.
The video maker has juxtaposed images on it.
I generally accept it as being historically accurate. However, I can not agree with the speaker's presumptions that the "Christian nations" were really better than the others ... ANYWAY, the most interesting thing, from a theoretical human ecology perspective, was the astonishing hybridization of Jewish tradition with the genetics of Khazar people that adopted those.
The video indicates a link to:
http://www.khazaria.com/
With over-simplification, I try to imagine how a particular set of social rules (evolved at the origins of Neolithic civilizations in the Middle East) would have been adopted and hybridized by a genetically distinct group of people, at a later time and a different place than those rules evolved.
At 2 minutes into Part 4 of this series on Youtube,
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qx00Q_u8SbM
This video asserts that 92% of so-called "Jews" are the descendants of the Khazar people that adopted the rule book religion developed in an earlier time, as well as a different place, ... but nevertheless, ... then, by them adopting and hybridizing that code, "Talmudic" or whatever, they were able to succeed in infiltrating and eventually becoming interrelated with other rulers, throughout large parts of Europe & North America. There was a lot of interbreeding of various aristocrats. The Anglo-American ruling class appears to mostly be a hybridization of Vikings and Khazars, that pretended to be Christians and Jews.
I rather liked the last book by Rudolf Steiner, that explained how it is possible for the pyramidion people in the social pyramid system to actually still believe in the oldest of religions, while those at the bottom are forced to adapt to the most recent conditions, and therefore, that radically transforms what those people at the bottom of the pyramid believe in!
Here is a fun video, just to point out how much of such ancient religions are hidden in plain sight:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L777RhL_Fz4
Secrets in Plain Sight 1-23 (Full video)
Anyway, I regard the Talmud as a heavy duty collection of gang rules, that evolved way back in the original crucible of Neolithic civilization. Another, later, gang from Khazar then adopted (and necessarily must have hybridized) those gang rules and was able to become amonst those who have been the best at being dishonest and violent, and, thereby, have gained more and more power to control others. Of course, I have the same universal attitude, towards Catholic crime gangs, and so on and so forth, including all of the people who were conquered and assimilated by the Neolithic civilizations. The first technology was the domestication of animals, and some human beings enslaving others was as old as history. Slave masters and slaves has been the basis of most of civilization. What we have now is just more sophisticated slavery, mostly manifested as debt slavery, as demonstrated by the development of private property, and the monetary systems that transfer more and more of the commonwealth into the hands of a tiny minority. There was the codification of organized crime gang rules, that was adopted by peoples different than the original, who then, by following their understanding of those rules, were gradually able to take over the monetary systems, etc., and thereby transform almost the entire world to serve them. Neolithic civilization spread out to take over Europe, and then that spread out to take over almost the whole world!
Clearly, there were some astonishing aspects of interactions between genetics and cultures. There was real potential for an evolving human ecology. The human ecology had potential for industrial ecology. Combined, we went forward with development of the organizations of those who were best at being liars, using dishonesty backed up with violence, to ensure the notions of private property would triumph to the degree of the privatizations of the public's money!!! Vicious cycles of money and power has developed, which are what is controlling North America NOW. Those international ruling classes have been able to arrange for Americans to pump enormous amounts of blood and treasure into making and maintaining Israel. There were enough crazy Christian Zionists to make that quite possible to do, for a long time. I believe that most of us are being set up to be tricked into world war. I think that is mostly due to the morbid social habits of the ruling elites, combined with the equally morbid social habits of those they rule.
As this video suggests:
Act 1 ... World War I
Act 2 ... World War II
Act 3 ... World War III
WHEN LIFE IS LIKE A THREE ACT PLAY, THEN THE END OF ACT 3 IS THE PROTAGONIST DIES. THAT is basically why I not longer care how crazy it might be for me to bother to publish this stuff. I figure we are doomed already. The only thing I do is attempt to understand why the world is controlled by lies, backed by violence, which has become collectively suicidal, and will probably result in me being murdered, in horrible ways, along with hundreds of millions, if not billions, of other people.
I would just say that the original Hebrew faith was taken over by a bunch of psychopathic Talmudists even before the time of Christ.
Puppy, it's usually called Phariseeism. Elements of the Talmud were around then, but technically it did not exist until after Christ.
thanks for the links, i'll get to em'.
meanwhile, "don't let the heartless bastards
get you down", they are not worth it.
or as they say "stay strong and pay close attention."
Radical,
The world is awakening, thanks to people like you.
Godspeed mate, and to any spooks here, not in my name you fucking scumbags.
... certainly, more than 99% of them are not genetically descended from the original "Jews."
1. Have the original "Jews" been identified genetically? Doing this would be a first requirement before we can say that somebody else is not them. If you have no genetic certainty against which to match the false group, you cannot scientifically claim that the group is false.
2. God promised the land to the Children of Abraham. Those people consist of many more peoples than the original Jews. Ten of the tribes of Israel have been lost to history, yet their genetic material is still out there. The land on which Israel sits was promised to them, too, even though we don't know who they are.
If you really knew the whole story, you and others who talk like you would be embarrassed to keep saying the current Zionists are not the original Jews. The land was promised to a lot more than just the original Jews. Prove to the world that the Zionists are not related in some way to the lost ten tribes of Israel, or to other of Abraham's offspring (the promise was to Abraham's children).
maybe that one lillte sentence about " wiping them off the face of the earth"
Is anyone who is against resurrencting the long-defunct Roman civilization an "anti-Roman?"
Nations spring to life. Nations disappear. The latter could happen to any culture or group or nation of people, including Jews and Israel.
The Zionists and their slaves the USA and the UN really, really picked the wrong location to build that place.
Seems like alot of people don't want to think about how iran says death to the USA and burns the us flag along with others... I don;t know why the Iranian people put up with the islamic radicals - the silent majority shouted down by the crazies, hoping they will just go away... Regime change in Iran could go along way to world peace.
I suppose it is a waste of time to recommend that you do some historical research, rhinoblitzing?
There is no doubt that the CIA, etc., overthrew the democratically elected, moderate government of Iran back in the 1950s, and that everything that you describe existing in Iran TODAY was the result of that original, violent regime change in Iran, done for the big oil companies in the West, through their government controlled terrorist organizations.
The history of making Islamic terrorists was that was all orginally driven to happen by the West!
What is worse, I believe, is those things were part of greater plan to deliberately start world war.
Unfortunately, the "truth" is not going to make any difference to systems based on lies, backed by violence. Instead, one is eventually forced to deal with that by responding in kind. Given that the world now has an abundance of weapons of mass destruction, ALL of human history, due to the triumph of deceits, for millenia, has driven society INSANE!
Israel is leading the way towards final failure from too much "success."
IF I HAD A CHOICE, then I would much rather Loa Tzu than Sun Tzu!
BUT, I believe we are going to get runaway insane Sun Tzued to nearly omnicidal levels!
more business-like? Like mafia? No I think we don't know what it is like to live in Israel with neighbors that want you dead. And can we all learn how to spell the name of the country? I-S-R-A-E-L. (maybe people can't spell it correctly, bec they don't understand that G-d is with them. Isra-el. EL means the LORD.
being a dumb hick, I prefer spelling it
I-S-R-A-E-H-E-L-L.
It just seems so apropos.
This is exactly the kind of arrogance which will cost Israel the crucially needed support from the west.
Please choke on a dick with your god crap.
Israelies have a track record of letting go country leaders that blundered in war.
Bibi could easily lose his PM office if the war sours.
dunno if you've noticed Pinky but every war is a "blunder" because it's the sickest, most senseless, most violent and expensive sewege of human behaviour. 'No Win'
killing people is not a normal human activity, it's an extremely deranged inhumane one usually undertaken by mentally sick people we call loosely, "leaders" ...they're not leading their people to happy or more prosperous place, most wars do not represent the people at all
did the German people want Hitler to go roaming all over Europe dropping bombs?
Did American or British people have any beef whatsoever with Afghans or Iraqis??
The people want peace and to get on with their lives without hysteria and chaos caused by deranged "leaders" on some epic flight of fantasy. It's leaders that cause war, not peaceable people.
If the Isreali PM wants to pick a fight with the Iranian PM go have a cage fight because they BOTH represent nobody but their own deranged ideology (ego?) and leave the rest of us in peace because Isreali people have no beef with Iranian people
Let's lock up the violent twats (leaders) and keep the peace going yes?
“Hours before Hamas strongman Ahmed Jabari was assassinated, he received the draft of a permanent truce agreement with Israel..."
that is pretty fucking sick ... a truly sickening double-act of Isreals (it's Govt anyway) true intentions toward peace in the region
what a bunch of mentally deranged power-playing thugs
escalation of violence guaranteed with these loonatics in charge, violence begets violence, this is going nowhere but getting much, much worse unless the Isreali thug Govt is removed and replaced with something more business-like and neighbourly
80 years of pathetic human (political) behaviour ..Govt never learns
'...............he received the draft of a permanent truce agreement with Israel..."
LMAO....
There are only temporary truces in a Jihad.
When strong again, they resume action.
There will never be peace anywhere that mozzies live.
Even if there are no infidels around to fight....hey..they fight among themselves..
Koranimals!
Sounds like good strategy to me. Give him a truce draft to draw him out into the open while Israel is making all kinds of diversionary noise in the Golan Heights, and then wham!@ kill the sucker.
No they don't, and Isreal has our congress in it's back pocket, 100%, so they say.
Zero Govt, seems as you have zero brains.
Jabari had any opportunity in the world to have a lasting truce with Israel with or without a draft.
Jabari did not miss any opportunity to attack Israel, and his army did so nearly every day(!) in the past several years (shooting rockets, missiles and explosives - which rarely made it to the MSM).
The credibility of this report is rather questionable, and the facts on the ground unfortunately do not support the report.
But, heck, any nonsense becomes credible if it defaces Israel.
OMG rocket shoots making no casualties were not reported by MSM OMG!!!
What about MSM not reporting WAR CRIMES and ongoing GENOCIDE?
STFU, back-office Troll.
do get back when you have convincing evidence that the report is not credible.
Pink Floyd - you accuse me of having "zero brains" giving your reason as Jabari had "opportunity for a lasting truce with or without a draft"
Seems that exact same opportunity is open to Isreal as well yes?
Why not withdraw the 500+ military check-points from the Palestinian West Bank?
You know, get the thug boots out of your neighbours property. Do Isreal enjoy being abusive arrogant inflaming neighbours while maintaining their own sovereign land will be defended?
We've had 80 years of zero brains, indeed pretty sick violent political brains, on full display. Time you boys ate humble pie and recognise what a bunch of miserable failures you are at foreign policy. Change your team or drag the Middle East into an ever escalating cage fight with no winners, only bloody expensive losers.
You're the clever one right, what do you think?
Why not withdraw the 500+ military check-points from the Palestinian West Bank?
Find out why those check points were established to begin with. Then contemplate why they won't be removed.
Why now?
Because Hamas-led-Gaza escalated the level of attacks in recent weeks beyond what Israel was willing to tolerate.
To put things in perspective, Hamas-led-Gaza has been targeting Israel with rockets on a regular basis in the past several years.
Albeit, it makes the news only when Israel responds in kind!
The statistics is that there was virtually no week without Gaza shooting in Israel for the past serveral years, and infact most days!
In the recent weeks the shooting from Gaza became much worse, though.
How would you respond if youf home town was targeted on a regualr basis?
How long woould you tolerage that?
I wonder how long I can tolerate you, mindless Mossad back-office minion.
