Israel Releases Another Aistrike Video As It Prepares To Send Troops Into Gaza Strip
Update: the following tweet from Israel's ambassador to the US, Michael Oren, will hardly help: "ALERT: Tel Aviv area was just hit by a rocket attack from #Gaza"
Despite having lost its prominent headline position in the global media, the things in Gaza are going from bad to worse with news reports that Israeli ground forces are preparing to enter the Gaza Strip which will take the confrontation to an effective ground war level, even as a separate news report claims that Egypt has now closed its border with Israel, in yet another escalation. It is unclear how soon until Egypt also halts gas supplies to Israel as it did back in April - we assume not too long. So as the world awaits the next major step in a conflict that has a Katyusha rocket's chance in the Iron Dome of going away on its own, we present the latest clip provided by the handy, if oddly boastful, Israeli Defense Forces, this time showing how a rocket warehouse in Gaza just became one with the ether. Tangentially, and once again, we can't help but lament how a Plan X involving the US military would be an option here, if only the entire US military and intelligence hadn't become a gonzo reality TV show virtually overnight.

"we can't help but lament how a Plan X involving the US military would be an option here"
Um, nope. Sorry, 'Tyler' - no one who joins the US military does it to fight for Israel against the natives expelled out of Arab towns and villages who are regularly hit by Israeli airstrikes and live under seige conditions.
This isn't to say Hamas and the handful of more extreme 'militant' groups are justified in lobbing bottle rockets at civilians - but the Jews seem to have little problem justifying airstrikes (that never fail to kill women and children) in response to rocket attacks that killed no one, which were in response to airstrikes and targetted killings by the US taxpayer funded IDF.
In short, while one wishes that both Jews and Muslims could justify their religions by working hard for an enduring peace, in the interim, neither Israel nor Palestine is worth one drop of American blood.
it is sarcasm bro
Eh...
thought crossed my mind.
Sorry about that. Sorry, Tyler.
Anyway, I'm sure Obama will fix it. He won the Nobel Peace Prize, you know, and its not like they just give those things to anyone.
A little context to the events serves to illuminate the "flare" up.
Stray bullets start flying in across Northern border (Syrian presumably?) a week or so ago
Nov-20 Palestinians set for UN vote on declaration
Currently: Arafat body being exhumed - Russia joined the Investigation a few days ago

In 10 years, there will be no more Israel: Kissinger

CIA considers Israel one of its biggest spy threats
http://rt.com/usa/news/cia-mossad-israel-espionage-311/comments/
In 10 years there will be no more Kissinger.
Israel, however, will still be around, will have outright annexed 'Samaria and Judea,' will have further entrenched an apartheid regime there, will continue, along with its 5th column in the US, to successfully smear anyone calling it what it is as 'antisemites,' will be happily continuing to take US taxpayer money, spy relentlessly on the US, sell its tech to China, and will be sitting in Lebanon and the Sinai and maybe a slice of Syria.
It's called 'Eretz Israel,' bitches - and it has been the plan all along.
I could give a fuck. I just object to their determination to use American [largely black, latino and Celtic] blood and treasure to do it.
But the American people have been so brainwashed they don't notice how much undue influence pro-Israel types have.
If you don't know who Chas Freeman was, you might do some lunchtime googling.
That shit was amazing. Fall of Rome level 5th column treachery, but as George Carlin might have said - 'nobody seems to notice; nobody seems to care.'
By no means do I think Hamas are the good guys, nor that Israel is totally unreasonable here - but everyone should be concerned and aware of just how much our corporate media gives us the same essentially one-sided, pre-packaged narrative. For goodness sake, it's almost as if Israel itself had major, if not necessarily predominant control of the bulk of US news media.
But that can't be.
Evil in kissenger and his hawks live forever ..
Such pain. But I enjoy it. Payback for Martin Luther and his henchmen. Let the Germans sort it out. If they can.
It's interesting to see that the Israelis, while in full war cry, are staying well clear of Hezbollah and Lebanon. They are still trying to get up enough nerve to deal with them after the ass kicking the got in 2006
they learn that from bullies like their Uncle Sam-you don't pick on somebody that might kick your ass.
Nope, they are just taking out their foes sequencially. First Syria, then Hamas and the PLO (biggest threat due to geographic location), next will come Hezbollah, and then the big show, Iran.
The big trick is to keep Egypt neutral through all this while Israel attempts to fundamentally change the ballance of power in the region.
hey hebes-does Uncle Sam have a deal for you. a hebe prints Benny Bucks-gives them to you Israeli hebes in the guise of "foreign aid" and then you turn around and use the Benny Bucks to buy weapons systems from US hebe-controlled weapons contractors like General Dynamics and that keeps US employment from going in the shitter even more. It's all good.
Simply step 1 by Israel, reduce Gaza's capability to retaliate for the planned Iran attack. Step 2 will reduce Labanon's capability to retaliate. Then comes the big event Israel armed with US Technology vs Iran armed with Russian and Chinese knockoffs.
IMHO the smart money is on Israel.
What is in it for US? Data on how the best weapons money can buy perform in the battlefield, Priceless.
Smoke and mirrors confusing you I see.
Without South Lebanons water,Israel is finished within a decade.
Iran's backing of Hezbollah has to be knocked out before
the Israeli's can 'liberate' that water.
Israel's lack of water has been common knowledge for over forty years.
I was taught in college back then that it would be the future cause of conflict
in the ME.
Now ,how long has Israel been going on about Iran's nuclear threat again ?
Do you see whats really going on now ?
There is a big sea next to Israel. They can distill all the water they need. Seriously. Also, block the water to Israel, and you block the water to Jordan, which does not have the same option.
That takes a lot of energy and last time I checked, Israel is no big oil producer.
Israel intended to build nculear power plants. These would be cooled by sea water. The flash-off steam would be condensed and used as fresh water.
http://www.nytimes.com/2010/03/10/world/middleeast/10nukes.html
However, in the interim, came Fukisima and discoveries of vast natural gas supplies off the coast if Israel.
They have lots of energy. No oil needed.
yes nuclear disasters tend to bring pause
and then, like passing gas, much of that's contested
http://www.csmonitor.com/Environment/Energy-Voices/2012/0925/Israel-eyes-gas-reserves-in-contested-waters
both "solutions" will take time
their water needs are yesterday
water.. and natural gas...
both shit under the sea and pipelines.
Much of all of this shit from the non-Zio US view is preventing a pipeline from Iran to the sea through Iraq and Syria.
Or so I've heard.
The Jews consider it a religious war.
The Rothschilds consider it a resource war.
Well said. What was that movie? Chinatown.
Something to be said here if you clear through the sarcasm. This could be phase 2 of the campaign against Iran. Phase 1 was to neutrlize Syria (done). Phase 2 will be to neutralize the threat from Gaza and the West Bank (proceeding). Phase 3 is to neutralize the Hezbolla threat from Southern Lebanon (planned). Phase 4 is to attack Iran without threats from Hamas and Hezbola to the home front.
They have to get through phases 2 and 3 while still keeping Egypt neutral, however. If Egypt does intervene, they will have to take care of that problem first, delaying the attack on Iran.
So, is this game on?
It is game on. The Commander Explosion and other videos will eventually incite Lebanon to attack thereby giving Israel a better excuse for dismembering Hezbollah. What will Iran do when Israel skewers and burns the flesh off of Nasrallah in a public square in Lebanon?
My guess is they will be forced to act or appear impotent thereby giving Israel license for the main event.
I think Israel wants to take its foes out sequencially. They will need to keep Hezbollah out of the fight until Hamas and PLO are toast.
Not sure how they do that, but you can always mix it up with Hezbollah later. Those boys need little in the way of provocation to start up a scuffle. After Gaza and the West Bank are done, they will be hyper paranoid (with good reason) and on a hair trigger.
If they try to enter the fray at a low level of conflict, Israel can ignore them and not escalate until ready.
I'm thinking Israel doesn't think Arabs and Muslims have internet by releasing these vids..
They should not be throwing gasoline onto the fires, but should stocking up, odd and even days may be coming to Israel soon.
unless they want them riled up
the long and short of it...

You have to admire Israel standing up for their own survival. They skewer and then burn the flesh off Hama's Commander in a public square. Then they make money by distributing the video. Anyone else notice that when the Hamas Commander exploded it was just a rip off of Total Annhilation.
The Israeli rip off did not stop there. Next they pulled a Clint and told all Hamas-ers that did not want to die to head out the back door.
it takes a real man of character to cheer for goliath.
I am with you and tend to cheer for Israel. Personally I prefer peace but since these characters have been fighting for over 1000 years it will probably take a war with a clear winner and loser to achieve peace.
It is awesome to see our military technology in action. Cannot wait to see how they take out the best Russia and China have to offer in Lebanon and Iran.
> since these characters have been fighting for over 1000 years
Zionists have been fighting for 100 years or so. Does your view of history come from TV?
Well if you are not up for knocking off Goliath the best option is to give it a rest.
unforgiven reference plus one
I am not suprised there is such a presence of anti-semitism on ZH. It is everywhere. Those who adhere to that way of thinking should realize that Israel and the Jewish people will never go away. Liked or not God will not allow it. He will protect them against any and all enemies. That is not to say they are without scumbags in their midst. There are scoundrels in every group of people.
I'm a Jew. Israel can burn in its own pile of flaming shit.
It is amazing how they forward the argument that critizing your country equates to genocidal fantasies
As Cockett points out above, they actually have it backwards. Like our own, their very survival depends on forcing their leaders to make peace
Oh? Then why not stop all the Mossad dirty work, get rid of their nukes and let God do the job?
Israel: the last outpost of apartheid.
There is something truly creepy to me about an entire nation seriously considering themselves "God's chosen people". There was a guy in Germany around 80 years ago who had similar views about his own "master race".
Stop using Intel Processors designed in Israel.
most intel processors were and are designed in California and made in Ohio
There is nothing Israel makes that wasn't stolen by one of the sayanim living and working the the US.
Actually - a lot of stuff is developed in Oregon, these days.

Thank you for saying what I wanted to say, CPJ.
So brave.
Syphilis and gonorrhea will never go away either, but that doen't prove a special relationship with god for syphilis or gonorrhea.
The god of the Jews is money, and it is Jewish money power that has most times protected Jews from their enemies. The problem of course is that Jewish money power is what creates their enemies.
Brilliant observation on a blog devoted to money. So should we hate on ZHers too?
You should read The Controversy of Zion by Douglas Reed, other than that, I have no suggestions for you. But if all you get from reading ZH is a focus on money, that's more to do with your reason for being here than the actual content of the site.
zionism is a secular movement, dumbass.
You're right....
Some Zionists are secular Jewish ultranationalists.
But mostly - you're full of shit. Many of those in the settlements and hoping for the Moshiach take the Talmud seriously, and think God chose the Jews as special and destined Israel to rule over the world one day.
If you don't know that, you don't know a goddamned thing about 'Zionism' qua such.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rFr4C2BPLeM
Why do you think you do?
God's people do NOT follow and practice the horrors of the TALMUD!
You obviously don't understand that the Talmud is the antithesis of the Torah....and I could locate many that agree with this fact...they are called Karaite Jews. BTW: Orthodox Jews persecute Torah-following Jews b/c they refuse to accept the Babylonian Talmud!
The Talmud and Torah have little relevance to this (Israel defending and retaliating).
Jews and Israelies tend to debate anything. Thus, you can find a person for any opinion and idea.
The Karaie (Torah-following Jews) live in peace in Israel, btw, like most other minority there (except those who a hell bent blowing themsleves and other into pieces).
Operation POD - Pile of Dung....
They should poison that farmer's field while they're at it for allowing assholes to launch rockets from his property, there should be a high cost to allowing assholes to wage war from your property.
Where are the Lawyers.....sue sue sue.....sir you are allowing a war to be fought from your farm...."did you know they were underage rocket shooters...??"
If you shoot rockets you are NO underage.
They are young males yearning to meet 70 virgins in the endless hunting grounds.
By your reasoning, the Muslim world has a right to scorch America for allowing Israelis to operate from DC, NYC, LA, etc.
The logic is "rocket launchers are a target - in every location they are positioned".
Isn't that obvious?
One exception(!): Israel must not follow this rule. Israel is not allowed to shoot at rocket launcher unless approved by the UN.
It might be possible this farmer didn't have a choice. Hamas could have showed up with AK-47's and said "you don't mind if we fire a few rockets from your field do you". It is Hamas who is at war with Israel not the entire Palastanian nation although I would guess there are a few who support them.
Jewistan must go down!
If this happens, it is the end of the modern civilization (just quoting).
You may debate this quote, but what is sure, Israel doesn't seem to go "down" easy.
The Antichrist in the oval office is smiling today.
If your neighboring country was shooting missles into your neighborhood you would want your country to do something to stop it including using whatever force necessary. There isn't a 1st or 2nd world country anywhere that would not do anything to stop the same type of attacks that Israel has been facing. On this issue I support Israel using whatever force necessary. If I was accross the street shooting mortars at your house you would be calling for help to stop the attack.
Israel has a long history of lying. I don't believe them when they tell me that "rockets" are attacking Israel from Gaza. I do believe that Israel would attack itself as an excuse to murder children in Gaza.
Yep, those three Israeli citizens don't believe that either. Matteroffact, I am sure their relatives believe that Israel went across the border and fired them at their own country. Why don't you just fly on down to Israel and go to that neighborhood and see if you can see any rockets coming from Gaza. You know, seeing it firsthand is believing in your mind.
I'll leave it to you to believe whatever bullshit falls from the lips of Israeli mouthpieces. I find it easier to just assume that Israelis lie.
USS Liberty, Sabra/Shatilla, Qibya, etc.
seriously..you really believe Israel wants to kill children in Gaza? You must have some serious hatred for Israel to believe that, especially for someone who claims he is a Jew. I personally don't believe Israel wants to kill any children anywhere but they do want to live in Peace. I do believe that many Muslin country extremist groups don't want Israel to exist. I think some major Muslin country leader said that once.
After 60+ years of living with hardcore Zionists, I believe them capable of any atrocity in order to maintain their stupid little project.
If you want a taste of what Zionism is, I suggest you read "The Iron Wall" by Jabotinsky before you humiliate yourself further by expressing your rose-colored view of Israel.
The Geremans were excellent teachers. That little project should have been scotched in the 30s. But no one had the nerve.
ok..I see. You are upset at somebody in Israel so now you believe that they are conspiring to purposely kill children in Gaza just to incite a war. Yep, that makes so much logical sense. You stay with your theory and I will believe in what I see in the videos showing rockets being fired from Gaza into Israel as to why Israel is returning fire with their aircraft. I will pass on reading your book, if it is any indication of where you get your thought process and logic from.
like all other entities of power, governments regularly kill both "others" and "their own" for various purposes usually resource but sometimes because they're just sick bastards. Are you suggesting otherwise or are you suggesting this particular country and moment is history is an exception and if so why? Please also explain the supposed "truce" and the timing of this particular assasination. If they lied about that "agreement" why then is bubblegum wrong?
DaveyJones-I am assessing the current situation not something in past history. If history were to teach us anything this kind of hatred by the Muslims has been going on for well over a 1,000 years. If you launch rockets at a country then you have to be prepared to accept the conswquences of your actions and be accountable for any of your citizens deaths. Hamas is the one repsonsible for any innocent civilians dying in this current conflict as they are the ones firing rockets and Israel is responding with force. As I stated earlier any country including us if we were being atacked would use force to stop it. To be honest I can't see why anybody would have a hard time understanding that. And no, I don't believe this is some conspiracy by Israel to start a middle east war.
so launching rockets are the only measuring device for cruelty and violence? Sophisticated comprehensive economic suppression is the work of the Red Cross? Oh, forgot, they bombed them too. Everytime anyone credible does a civillian body count tell us who "wins." Then there's the hypocritical logic of "non-occupation". So ridiculous, your own journalists point it out.
http://www.haaretz.com/opinion/the-levy-report-vs-international-law-1.47... ,
You also didn't answer the question. Why did they bomb him after openly and deliberately making him and the rest of the palestinians believe there was a truce knowing full well it would only invoke more distrust, hatred, anger, killing and suffering further endangering their own as well . Your logic, objectivity and history need work.
> You are upset at somebody in Israel
No. But I am annoyed at you for being yet another utterly clueless American.
"No. But I am annoyed at you for being yet another utterly clueless American."
Ok..I will bite...just exactly what am I clueless on regarding this current conflict? Apparently I am aware that rockets are being fired from the Gaza Strip by Hamas according to all the major networks and reuters news. And apparently Israel is responding using deadly force to take out the Hamas terrorist who are doing this. Do I have this assessment correct or do you have different information that the news people are all missing? I have eyes and see the rockets coming in from Gaza on the news video so logic tells me Hamas is firing rockets at Israel. Its pretty simple to come to that conclusion so enlightem me with your wisdom.
> I have eyes and see the rockets coming in from Gaza
You believe the Israeli version of reality, you mean. Recall that the Israelis were also the ones that told us that Saddam had WMDs. Believe Zionists at your own risk.
You appear to lack historical context for what Zionism is. I suggest you read what's already been suggested to you (it appears you haven't). I'd add "Rome and Jerusalem" by Moses Hess to the list.
If you won't take my word for it - me, an ex-Zionist American Jew - then I hold out little hope for your present enlightenment.
Thank you bubblegum. Like our own murderous exploits overseas, we need more former "soldiers" like you who have seen the truth from the inside to help others see it as well. Only then will any of our people be safe.
In fact most of the Israeli officials at the time advised against a US invasion into Iraq.
Yes. You can find statement to the contrary, but recognize that Israel is a complex society and multiple angencies and parties like the US (which often speaks in multiple voices as well).
ex-zionist of not does not make a difference.
Understand that Jews as a community promote diversity of opinions and tolerate discent more so than most other communities and groups.
Therefore, an "ex-zionist" does not give the person more credibility, nor makes his text right.
" according to all the major networks and reuters news"
And you believe these networks/agencies?
Do you know who owns/controls them? Try and put two and two together!
... or twice, or ad infinitum
They certainly do NOT "just want to live in peace"....they feel they have a right to own and rule almost the entire damn ME.
And that fact has been proven in literature. They just can't say it out loud.
Ever heard of "Eretz Israel"?
The Zionist owned western media "forgets" to tell you that Israel has provoked every one of these rocket attacks! Not hearing it on MSM does not mean its didn't happen.
Have you literally NO idea what Isrel does to Palestinians on a DAILY basis?
If not, then you need to do your research.
The MSM will not report that by far many more Palestinians (including children) were killed and wounded than in Israel.
Over the last 10 years, approx. 30 Israelis have died, whereas THOUSANDS of Palestinians have died.
puppy for prez-yes..Palestanians including children are getting killed as a result of Hamas firing rockets. Your anger should be directed at the Hamas terrorist who are directly responsible for each and everyone of the Palastanian deaths. The UN has been worthless in doing anything to address the Hamas terrorist group who has taken complete control of the Gaza Strip. Iran supports Hamas as does Egypt and others. Israel has one of two options dealing with Hamas and others. They can just ignore them and not defend themselves from any attacks or they can defend themselves and respond with force. What do you suggest and don't say Israel should just give up their country and leave as that is a cop out answer.
I wouldn't be surprised if, as our own Army Intelligence report said in 2001, that Hamas has been infiltrated by Mossad. Every other extremist group has been, our intel says.
Israel LIES about who starts these skirmishes, anyway. They got caught in one when they claimed Hamas broke a cease fire.
The big question is this: What in the hell are the people in Gaza and the West Bank supposed to do when, on a daily basis, their homes are bulldozed, olive groves are cut down (their livelihood), their land stolen, and their people herded into ever-smaller little horrific prison camps....are they supposed to say, "Oh, okay, God's-Chosen-People...steal everything from us..."
Besides, it is a little known fact that Israel secretly endorses, supports, and sometimes funds (through 3rd party channels) Hamas, as they provide competition to Hezbollah, and provide Israel with the "evidence" that they are the eternal victims, NEVER the aggressors. Hamas also serves to diffuse the efforts of the PLO.
Excuses for Israel just hold no honest intellectual water anymore. And to think that I used to believe like you do....I'm ashamed of myself for being so mind-controlled!
my-puppy, why all these half truths, lies and deceit?
Does lying and deceiving against Israel serves your narrow agenda, or are you paid to do that?
You are correct on one account.
Israel does fund and support Gaza (and by extension Hamas) via money, electricity, water and allowing passage of tons of supply from its ports.
You see, even though Gaza borders with Egypt, the supplies come through Israel...
Alas, Gaza led Hamas thanks Israel for its generosity with a rain of missles.
Just go and live for a month in one of the border towns being targeted on a weekly basis for years and decide for yourself based on experience rather than misguided "belief".
Or just go read the Hamas charter committed to the destruction of Israel (ALL of it) and killing Jews (regardless if they live in Israel). Did Israel author the Hamas charter?
And, what about the countless Palestinians killed and tortured by Hamas? (Is Israel is to be blamed for that, too?)
Now you can believe in anything you want.
Wow did you see those rockets...sorry forget that, I meant baby milk cartons at the baby milk factory explode. Oh, the horror!
Riddle me this.... All (99.9%) of Jews in the US are liberal, but all liberals hate Jews.....
FOR ONCE the US is doing the right thing, let the kids sort it out themselves. Israel goes in to Gaza, Egypt tries to go into Israel.... Let it burn to the ground.... Watch from a safe distance and cut aid to both sides.....
Likewise let Muzzy kill Muzzy in Syria
I do not like to see anyone die needlessly, and there is a lot of that going around. But your basic premise is correct. After 911 the US should have nuked Kanadhar and said next. Millions of lives and trillions of dollars would have been saved.
Isreal has made genuie peace offers to Palistine, and been rejected. So I have no sympathy for Hammas and its followers. Bite of your nose to spite your face and their is a good chance your going to bleed to death.
Its time for Isreal to declare its borders, twenty years from now everyone will be singing kumbaya.
Confirmed Tel Aviv was under "bombardment"

Oy Vey , those Israelis are " Oddly boastful " when they kill one ennemy ! Oy Vey Mr Durden, those israelis don' t have the nice manners of the USMC who recently made an " Oddly boastful " movie ( posted on youtube ) showing they were pissing on the afghan rebels they had just killed ...Oy Vey Mr Durden, you are so delicately trying to conceal your despise of Israel under your pretence to " higher moral grounds " .Oy Vey Mr Durden, you oddly spill your " schadenfreude " smear on every occasion involving Israel.Well Mr Durden a vicious and malignant character you are showing but do not despair , you have so many well-groomed readers on ZH who react exactly as you do.So you're not alone in your mental sickness.Keep up the good job Mr Goebbels.

Divide and conquer. Little people with little brains who post here.
What if our "intelligence" is as bad as it was for WMD and Iraq? What if Iran already has a nuclear warhead and is baiting Israel? Something to think about...
All that defence spending, such a great military power. Katyusha rockets are WWII technology. The Israeli Government has a defense sheild that can stop them, they just choose not to.
You are misguided at best (or a liar at worst).
Let me explain.
1) No technology can hermetically stop these rockets. Think about a simple gun, 200 year technology, and still there is no credibly flawless defense against it.
2) The available technologies are EXPENSIVE. A Katusha costs $10K (at most), stopping one costs $250K (if not more). This asymetry limits the practicallity of the limited anti-missle technologies.
3) How much would your patience hold being a target for endless string of rocket and missle attacks (yes, this is going on for years, it just become must worse in the recent weeks).
Gaza (Hamas and friends) shooting missles into Israel is not news, unless Israel defends itself actively.
Hamas was firing into Israel for the past years, virtually every week, nearly every day - in fact.
Hamas increased the frequency and number of rockets and missles in the past frew weeks - believing Israel will just swallow this shit.
FWIW, Hamas is committed to killing all Jews without descrimination (kids, women, man - regardless whether they live in Israel).
Hamas seems quite practical in targeting Israelies as they live nearby, but Hamas did attack Jews in other countries.
