Israel Is Bombing Gaza Back to the Stone Age to Get Hamas ... But ISIS – NOT HAMAS – Claims Credit for Attacks Against Israel
Israel is currently bombing Gaza back to the stone age (MSM spin notwithstanding).
While Israel claims that Hamas was behind the murder of 3 Israeli boys which started this round of violence (and subsequent rocket attacks), the Times of Israel reported last week:
A new Palestinian jihadist group pledging allegiance to the Islamic State (formerly known as ISIL) [or "ISIS"] has claimed responsibility for the killing of three Israeli teenagers last month in the West Bank, as well as other recent deadly attacks against Israeli soldiers and civilians.
Hamas has denied responsibility for the attacks.
The New York Times also reported on Wednesday:
On Tuesday evening, Israel’s antimissile system, called Iron Dome, intercepted a rocket “over the Tel Aviv area,” the army said, showing the reach of Gazan rocketry. The rocket was believed to be of Iranian design, a Fajr-5, and Islamic Jihad claimed credit. Tel Aviv opened some public shelters, and in a city near Tel Aviv, Rishon LeZion, people were instructed to leave the beach.
Given that countries all over the world – including Israel and Muslim countries – have admitted to carrying out false flag attacks, we should carefully investigate who was responsible before cheering on a new Arab-Israeli war. (And the head of Mossad had predicted such an occurrence shortly before it happened.)
Palestine has gained a lot of support recently. For example, Palestine was accorded observer nation status by the United Nations. The movement to boycott and divest from companies doing business with Israel has gathered tremendous momentum. And the two main factions in Palestinian politics – Hamas and Fatah – have formed a unity government.
As Michael Rivero points out, it makes no sense for Hamas to have committed brutal acts of violence right now, when it is securing quick progress through peaceful political means:
HAMAS and FATAH formed a unity government. They need the support of the world right now, and neither HAMAS or FATAH is going to carry out an act that would wreck the very public support they need. It’s like George Washington trying to kick out the British by shooting students in the colonial schools; it is just not going to happen.
And the Jewish Daily Forward notes that – if rogue Hamas members did carry out the murders – it was not with the permission or knowledge of Hamas leadership:
In the flood of angry words that poured out of Israel and Gaza during a week of spiraling violence, few statements were more blunt, or more telling, than this throwaway line by the chief spokesman of the Israeli military, Brigadier General Moti Almoz, speaking July 8 on Army Radio’s morning show: “We have been instructed by the political echelon to hit Hamas hard.”
That’s unusual language for a military mouthpiece. Typically they spout lines like “We will take all necessary actions” or “The state of Israel will defend its citizens.” You don’t expect to hear: “This is the politicians’ idea. They’re making us do it.”
***
It was clear from the beginning that the kidnappers weren’t acting on orders from Hamas leadership in Gaza or Damascus. Hamas’ Hebron branch — more a crime family than a clandestine organization — had a history of acting without the leaders’ knowledge, sometimes against their interests. Yet Netanyahu repeatedly insisted Hamas was responsible for the crime and would pay for it.

When it comes to the ME, the only thing I can say is that it's so fucked up over there it would take a million years to un-fuck it. Having said that, the facts are that human nature itself created all the hell on earth and it always has. The problem is that there are so more people living closer together on a planet that's not large enough. So stop pointing fingers at each other and just accept that fact that we are doomed.
ISIS will finish the job.
The title of this post is a propagandistic lie.
ANY government from ANY country, acting on the behalf of ____________ (fill in the blank), can attack it's own people to manipulate public opinion in that country or anywhere around the world. The people of the world will never know who is really behind the violence and terror perpetrated by psychopaths posing as ___________ (fill in the blank). It's a perfect MO, has been for many centuries, and people fall for it all the time as is evidenced by many of the comments on this thread.
Even Hams refuses to be the bankerz bitch any more
I wonder if the IDF will bomb those five star restaurants the Gaza elite hang out in? Probably not.
Gaza's lovely this time of year
The Palestinians, Islamists, and other Arabs are sworn to the destruction of Israel and she has the right to defend herself from attacks. At some point, defense becomes elimination of the threat if other means fail. I think Israel has reached that point with Hamas. Its ironic that the Palestinians are going under the bus they loved to bomb. I suspect this is the prelude to something bigger in the ME. Perhaps Iran is next?
Just a heads up GW...
French military to extend Mali 'counterterrorism' operations into Sahelhttp://www.france24.com/en/20140713-france-military-serval-mali-terroris...
France said Sunday its military offensive that freed northern Mali from the grip of Islamists would be replaced by an operation spanning the wider, largely lawless Sahel region to combat extremist violence.The so-called Serval offensive kicked off in January last year when French troops came to the help ofMalian soldiers to rid the country's vast desert north from Islamists and Tuareg rebels who seized control after a coup.
France had initially planned to put an end to Serval and redeploy troops to the Sahel region in May but a fresh bout of clashes between rebels and the army in the flashpoint northern town of Kidal forced Paris to delay the pull-out.
"The president wanted a reorganisation of our troops in the (Sahel) zone," Defence Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian said Sunday in a television interview.
He said French-led Serval had been successful. "Now there is a concern for us and for the countries in the area to make sure there is no upsurge (in terrorism) as there are still major risks that jihadists will develop in the zone that goes from the Horn of Africa to Guinea-Bissau."
The new operation, codenamed Barkhan, will kick off in the coming days and is being implemented in partnership with five countries in the Sahel-Sahara region, Le Drian said, without detailing which nations these were.
He added the operation would consist of around 3,000 soldiers supported by drones, helicopters and fighter jets.
Le Drian did not mention what nationality the troops would be, but he had said in May that this "counter-terrorism" operation would consist of 3,000 French soldiers who would be present in northern Mali, the north of Niger and in Chad.
The hatred toward Israel (and Jews) on this thread is astouding. Fuck all of you haters.
The threshold for what you and your fellow Ziobots will deem 'anti-Jewish' is absurdly low and includes fair criticism.
On the other hand, no sweeping generalization regarding Muslims or Arabs ever seems to trigger the same "racism" alarm.
So, in that regard, I'd like to respectfully invite you to go fuck yourself - somewhere else. Plenty of Israel Firster echo chambers out there on which you can post your racist diatribes against the "Fakestinians." There, everyone will happily assume Israel was always merely "responding" to Hamas rockets, and no one will introduce evidence that most of the time the rockets were subsequent to Israeli airstrikes that killed a handful of human beings.
This is a racist blog ... no one cares
Consent
One question. What would the U.S. do if any country, group or individual launched ONE armed missle onto U.S. soil, even with what the initiating country, group or individual claimed was clear provocation?
Obama would invite them to a beer summit
....What would the U.S. Do?.....
With this turd at the helm?
That should be one of these caption less cartoons, presented without comment .... Followed by 10 pages of witty Zero -Hedge comments.
I'll start.
Identify the group, and send them 3.7 billion dollars of aid.
Well first and foremost Mexican troops have fired into US on countless occassions.
Now a missile is not going to destroy the USA, but an invasion of millions of aliens will. So if they cant stop the aliens what do I care about a missile.
Thank you for pointing out the need for clarification. Please substitute "military rocket armed with high explosives" for "armed missiles" (exclude rifle and small arms bullets, which though serious, would be a different category in terms of the threat level). While the potential for eventual harm does exist with illegal immigration, a rocket armed with high explosives landing on your house would likely represent a much more immediate threat requiring a much quicker and more forceful response, but of course, that's the question I asked in the first place. I apologize for my lack of clarity.
...well....as long as it would land on a cabal of fat-assed do-nothing loafers....like...at any WalMart
OR...
hit the Mexican border with such ferocity that is dries up the Rio Grande and evaporates everything with it....
OR....
Nails a la Hiroshima, the following places;
WASHINGTON D.C. - WHEN K STREET/CONGRESS IS IN SESSION
DETROIT
YELLOWSTONE....SO WE CAN GET THE APOCALYPSE FUCKING GOING...DAMMIT!
Your know what? Fuck it.. I don't care anymore. Why should I form a reasonable opinion on a conflict where both sides are clearly not reasonable and rational? Screw the middle east..let's stop supporting anyone and just buy the oil from whoever wants to sell it. Anyone tries to drag us into their ignorant sectarian tribe conflicts we'll carpet bomb both sides back to the stone age and call it threat containment.
Stop foreign aid to the Arabs and Israel, we have people in need of help in this country, look at Detroit. One poster mentioned no AC in her school in Mississipi, spend the money where it MATTERS.
it's a fair point - we arm Israel as we arm Egypt and Pakistan. Who makes out most of all is the MIC. Yeah - I'm sure that means some "jobs"...but their jobs funded by taking from the income of taxpayers who actually do productive work.
Not everything that's good for "the economy" is good for the country, let alone of real utility.
fuck Detroit
It is a racist blog.
You must not pay property tax or live I the NE to see how much public education costs and where education is becoming worse.
No AC in Mississipi, OMG!
If a lack of air conditioning is your countries biggest problem then you are living in luxury. Plenty of kids in both the West and the Turd world have gotten a sound education without AC.
The US schools need better teachers, less administrators, a good grounding in the three Rs and doing away with all the PC bull. Having AC won't change the fact that most American kids "graduate" as mindless sheeple who cannot draft a resume.
Half the world has no clean water, or sanitation. They are necessities, AC is just a luxury.
Hey its not the teachers its the society and parents, how do you explain kids coming from asia going to shitty schools in USA and coming out as stanford or UCLA or UC Berkeley freshmen. Shitty school infrastructure and average teachers but outstanding results.
Israel destabilizes the politics of the region. They need our aid if we are to continue to see our Saudi friends benefitting from high regional export prices due to the fucking quagmire of a region that we make of the region in many ways.
The Saudis fund 90% of all Islamic terror groups. Isn't it funny that they are the one country which isn't suffering from radical conflict or geopolitical spotlight. It's a big ol' circle jerk.
Benefits us, too. Now we have an endless conflict across an entire region into which money, resources, munitions and men can be constantly poured while the financiers and industrial sector of the military supply chain grow fucking rich.
Long MIC stock. Naked short Hope
Mutherfucking Jewish murderers////may they be smittem from the face of the earth.....GOD hates them-they are not 'his chosen'-that is the lie of Satan, THEY are his children
You abused as a child ?????
GANGWARFARE
What a troll this GW has become. He likes to pretend that he is possibly Jewish? That's a good one! I knew a guy who called himself a Rabbi. He spent all his time studying and learning everything about Jews, he would then post demeaning comments about Jews and stereotypes on a forum about economics? He was an IT Indian from India?
I wouldn't be surprised that GW just might be carrying pictures of Ayatollah Khomeini and troll for IRAN since all his posts about Iran are favorable.
This post makes as much sense as claims made by some 'things' here that anti-Zionism is somehow different from anti-semitism. That's a distinction without a difference, at the root they share pathological hatred of Jews. So who cares, if one calls himself anti-Zionist.
While I am not a fan of Martin Armstrong --he is spreading economic disinformation similar to Koch brothers--he points out that while Jewish bankers come and go through the ages, the PLUTOCRACY marches on unimpeded.
Zionism is racism, as you and your fellow perpetually anti-Muslim, anti-Arab, anti common sense hasbara trollsteins serve to remind everyone, over and over, as you excuse every single act of the Jewish state, no matter what it is, from bombing bridges and water treatment facilities to hospitals, to using white phosphorus, to never prosecuting wildly racist Jewsih supremacist thugs in illegally occupied territory.
Now, go fuck yourself.
Greetings Daffy Duck.
I'm not anatomatically qualified to go fuck mysef, However,
You Joooooooooooooooo haters are some sick sumbitches.
ESAD.
Obama stooge
You may call it trolling, I call it freedom of speech. Opinions on either side of the matter and on countless issues. I dont care, happy that people can express themselves.
The potential for the human race is questionable. The catalyst for war has not been diminished as many people have hoped it would once the world matured. National pride, political agendas, religious and ethnic hatreds are some of the biggest roadblocks to world peace.
Often we seem to forget as we look back to World War II and past a dozen "lesser Conflicts" peace has been the exception rather then the rule for hundreds and thousands of years. The true reality is that across the world few mothers want to see their children killed and most farmers want to be left along to raise their crops and earn a living. More on the subject of war as a solution to conflict in the article below.

I see it as no more complicated than..... Way too many rabbits, wolves make a comeback.
Or hunters. Or starvation.
They're Muslim TERRORISTS!!! THEY DO THE WORK OF ALLAH BY KILLING JEWS!!! WHY IS IT SO HARD FOR SOME OF YOU PEOPLE TO UNDERSTAND THAT????
WHAT!? WHAT DID YOU SAY? KILL ALL JEWS?
Trollstein.
the best thing about these articles are the zionuts who show up to spread hysterical, irrational, illogical, plain stupid arguments why the west should support the murderers instead of the murdered. the hasbara effort has an ironic way of displaying the disconnect between the israelis and the rest of the world.
The double tragedy is that the same group of people who have suffered most from fascist policies are now increasingly making use of them.
the usa has gone full zioretard. isis is a branch of the cia. they claim responsibility for the kidnapping and tel aviv missile fire for street cred hopefully debunking those people who know isis is a cia/mossad creation. isis would be a much greater threat to israel than the palestinians ever have been yet nutandyahoo has said nothing. the dog that did not bark tells us the the entire operation is a false flag. the goal is war with iran(russia and china).
my country needs to be baker acted.
Obama stooge
I do not watch the news much but I believe this flare up of violence started after three Israeli teenagers were killed right?
killled by mossad is more likely than the palis. israel is the only one to gain.
Given the actions of Soros and other Jews during WW2 its not surprising to think that sacrificing a few boys for a greater purpose is not outside the realm of possible.
The current Likud government of Israel doesn't want peace.
They want war, lots of war, lots of dead muzzies. They want land, resources, and dominance.
You notice the non-stop stream of muzzies immigrating to Europe and US/Canada, they are shipping them over here by the boat load to depopulate that area for the Greater Israel project.
One of the stupidest articles on ZH, posted only to draw out the usual haters, and Hitler admires.
