Israel Is Bombing Gaza Back to the Stone Age to Get Hamas ... But ISIS – NOT HAMAS – Claims Credit for Attacks Against Israel

George Washington's picture




 

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.

The tribe lives with the idea that all belongs to the chosen ones.  It's some sort of talmudic principle they live by.  They take what they can from the shadows by cheating, killing, lying, stealing and deception.   In their crazy heads they feel entitled to devour everything and everyone.  That is why they're hated everywhere they go.

They are the biggest welfare queens in the world.  If it wasn't for the involuntary charity of the USA citizenry, they'd be pooping in their pants.

They do this because Israel does not want to negotiate a real settlement but bids for time to build more housing and tear down more apts and olive groves.  If a guy starts stealing your land are you going to fight back or are you going to let him keep doing it??

Semi on topic - Based on the broken glass theory of economics, shouldn't the Palestinians be some of the richest people on earth?

Krugman should be consulted here. He's the best known advocate of the broken window aka, alien space invasion, theory of economic prosperity.

Dang, first everyone moved to Seattle for the $15 an hour minimum. Once Krugman clarifies things I suspect there will be a rush to Gaza as these same workers desert Seattle.

'Americans' and their impotency to face reality.

Krugmann would point the Palestinians who are on the crushed side as the ones that should go richer from the war?

'Americans' thrive on wars, it takes an 'american' and their high victimhood mindset to claim that the crushed in the wars are the ones to thrive.

Its all stories to get each side wound up and keep the fire burning and keep the war supplies selling. ISIS must not exist because no one is doing anything about it. Probably  its the set up to a false flag attack in the U.S. so all the American morons can rally around the flag while they all get screwed up the ass some more. The politicals have to be removed and or hanged. Corrupt bastards all.

This follows the Israel lobby's policy of not letting any negative comments on Israel go unchallenged.

There are now reported to be over 100 Palastinian deaths in the latest Israeli attacks.  This in retaliation for 3 Israelis killed in the west bank (far from Gaza).   This is totally disproportionate retaliation.  Why is there absolutely no criticism from official US sources?

Every 5 minutes, according to the Israeli military, they launch
another air strike against the Gaza Strip as part of their endless
escalation. 1,100 targets have been hit so far, and the term “targets” is being used rather loosely, with many hitting seemingly random civilian homes.

All told, the confirmed death toll right now among Gazans is 114, with at least 75 civilians among them, 23 of them children. Over 700 Gazans were also wounded, many severely. No Israelis have been killed, though Israel claimed one seriously wounded and eight overall “injuries.”

The majority of the slain in Israeli strikes are not only innocent civilians, but children, women, and the elderly, as the air strikes are hitting a lot of random houses and people can’t get out fast enough.

Though Israel is warning 100,000 Gazans to leave their homes in
anticipation of a ground invasion, there isn’t really any place for them
to go, as the tiny, besieged strip is only a few miles wide, and
everything is a target anyhow.

Though warning sirens blare in Israeli cities and residents flock to
shelters, virtually all the Israeli injuries came when one of Hamas’
makeshift rockets slammed into a gas station and caused a fire. For most
in the “line of fire,” the latest Gaza War is mostly about taking lawn-chairs to the hilltops to watch the warplanes clobbering nearby Palestinian refugee camps.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says there is absolutely no
pressure on him to stop the attacks on Gaza, and that Israel is not
giving any consideration to even discussing a truce. For now, they just
wait five minutes and press another button, destroying another house.

Ground invasion? Those pussy cowards. Picking on poor defenseless people  -why don't they go into Lebonan and try getting their asses whupped again by Hezbollah? IDF forces are useless in hand to hand combat  - that's why they hire mercenaries like AlQuada and ISIS --or US boys- to do the real fighting required.

what i have never understood is the lack of coverage of the damage that the oh-so horrible "rockets" inflict on isreal.

the one time i have seen pictures were of a dent in some concrete less than 6 inches deep. these things are glorified bottle rockets with no payload. false flag or not, i have never really understood the desired effect. except to show the contrast of throwing stones in an act of rebellion against artillary and machine guns. we are supposed to recoil in digust but we do not.

please- some self hating jew please do a photo essay of the damage of the 1000's of rockets bombarding isreal, please!

It makes ZERO difference if the rockets get shot down or land in a field. I congratulate the Jews for not taking any shit. I wonder why it takes them so long to retaliate. I always love how raghead women denounce Israeli violence while saying nothing about there thug boyfriends who start it. Whine on, bitches.

The Israeli government had strong evidence that Hamas was responsible. They got it from the same people who told them Assad was behind the poison gas attacks.

Another repulsive and stupid anti-semitic posting, stating slanderous and absurd accusations while ignoring actual facts.  The Palestinians are self-limited to a state that's already pre-stone age.  Israel could turn off their water and power, and Gaza would blow away in two weeks, and someone could come in and homestead and grow oranges or corn or something useful.

Israel is still phoning ahead or otherwise warning people to get out before they blow up empty houses, and sometimes even houses where they know more missiles are kept.  About 5% of the Israeli effort targets or kills anyone.  It seems stupid to me, but that's what they do.

So take your stone age and sit on it.
