Israel have no cards left to play and only their death and destruction awaits them from now on.

Humanity will not allow Israel off the hook after all it has shown us and may all the Zionazis get their long overdue comeuppance in record timing.

I hope you are correct Uaifo Ojo. I suspect Zionism runs deep in the western world.

Thank d gods then that the western world is only a subset of the collective humanity who while quite powerful now, will eventually become less able to get away with bloody murder as they can now.

It will not be immediate but it is a Certainty that Zionism and western neo-colonianism will burn themselves out and become a weak hollow thing that will answer for their crimes individually and collectively

I hope so too, Ms. Stokes. Indeed, it definitely is well-entrenched in governments throughout the west. But that doesn't mean it can't be dislodged at some point, which I hope arrives soon

I hope I'm wrong, Uaifo, but there are too many Zionazi supporters with their hands on the levers of power everywhere, and who will let Netanyahu's murderers off the hook.

Yeah, but they are only powerful for now and this moment.. how bout 5 and 10 years to come?

It might come too late for the Gazans currently, but eventually the western world will lose power and have to account for all the shit their elites have put the entire world through.

It will not be immediate but it is a Certainty that they will lose power and have to face Justice in whatever form it may take

I don't think they want to be around for Justice to catch up with them Israel has their Samson option, but Americas .leaders also seems like they will be more than willing to Destroy the whole world for the sake of and in Defense of Israel, so that might be the Scenario ,they both have Massive Arsenal of Nuclear Weapons ,Israel Nuclear Weapons are illegal and Uninspected so the IAEA don't even know the extent of Israel's amount of WMD, America alone can destroy the World 5,000 time over ,so "I believe that the route they might take

The Israeli regime know their game is just about over that's why they are going to keep bombing and killing as many Palestinians as they can with or without any agreement ,they want to disarm the Palestinians so they can face no resistance anywhere in GAZA to make it easier to wipe them out.

I don't know why anyone with common sense believes that Israel is not going to try and wipe out the Palestinians as long as they have the full backing of America ,because America is now the same as Israel, they are 2 sides of the same coin, they can never be trusted either., Too late for Qatar who found out the hard way, but the same fate is waiting for any of the other Arabs states who keep supporting Zionist Israel.

As I said before Israel has their plan B ready to pull out when the time comes

******ISRAEL has a policy, known as the "Samson Option", which states that if they are ever at risk they will use their nuclear stockpile to genocide the world.

In 1973 they threatened Nixon with this and he immediately buckled and gave them whatever they needed to win the war against the Arabs

Need i mention Israeli snipers shooting at Palestinians at the border fence while Israelis picnicked and watched the spectacle, sort of like how families used to gather round amd watch a good old fashioned lynching?

I never believed what we were told about the Hammas attack. It could not possibly handle taken place without Mossad having knowledge of it. As was often said "you cannot even sneeze in Gaza without Mossad knowing. Troops were withdrawn, and it seems that the scene was set to allow a Hammas attack to succeed.

Wikileaks Cablegate documented the plans over a decade before. Israel supported Hamas while planning to allow an event so they had cover to invade & destroy Gaza.

Exactly, certainly doesn't hurt to have documents to back up Occam's razor for those who don't understand the premise.

Mark Denton's avatar

Occam's Razor: when solving a problem, or a mystery - always start with explanations with the smallest number of elements. Or to say it more clearly - start with the simplest, which is often the most likely.

Such as "how could Hammas mount a major surprise attack when they are constantly monitored by Mossad?" Answer - almost impossible. Explanation - Mossad knew. If you accept that premise, the rest of the facts start to make sense.

Absolutely. I was fortunate to be up to speed with the treasure trove of WikiLeaks documents, so knew what this was immediately having read the game plan years before....that couples with Abby Martins Gaza Fights For Freedom documentary years before...

I still cannot believe more bombs are dropped in Gaza every week than the US dropped in a year in Afghanistan....that is just mind boggling in the most horrific way.

We need to hammer home the fact that it was the Israeli Government that attacked Israel on October 7:

There was an October 6.

There was an October 5.

There was an October 4.

And so the perpetual suffering of Palestinians goes.

The Zionist perpetrators of genocide & their enablers must not be allowed to narrate the history of these times. Records of their depravity have to become common knowledge. For the good of our species.

This has been going on for a long time and escalated every year from 1917 to the present. Professional Zionists like Bari Weiss will never admit what’s been done to the Palestinians to steal their land.

"The longer this genocide goes on for, the more the world has come to view October 7 as Israel reaping what it had long been sowing."

No, not yet it hasn't. But hopefully it will soon. Ye who sow the wind will reap the whirlwind.

American antiwar activists engaged in similar speculation after 9/11- that the U.S. government was behind it or let it happen, since the terrorist

attack provided the “perfect”justification for the wars in Afghanistan and later (though quite a stretch) against Iraq that US imperialism wanted all along and most importantly undermined much of the remaining “Vietnam syndrome” antiwar sentiment in the U.S. that stayed the hand of militarism. That should have taught liberation struggles around the world a lesson that use of this form of resistance , attacking civilians and committing war crimes, is not only of questionable morality but strategically an error. It does the opposite of advancing the struggle but falls right into the hands of the most reactionary fascistic forces.

Whether Israel consciously stood down or let this happen or not, and even though some unknown number of deaths may have been the result of the Hannibal directive, Palestinians did commit atrocities that day against civilians by killing & kidnapping them and these acts were a boon for the racist territorial ambitions and genocidal intent of the Kahanists in power. It also weakened antiwar, anti apartheid sentiment among the Jewish population in Israel.

The Al-Qassam Brigades' operation on 7 October was a military assault primarily targeting military installations and military personnel. There were between 700 and 800 "civilians" killed that day. However, almost certainly at least 100 of these "civilians" were armed security of some kind, so if Al-Qassam killed them it was because thay were engaged in an armed standoff. Almost certainly 80% or more of the unarmed civilians killed were killed by the IDF. That's based on the number of Hellfire missiles and auto-cannon rounds fired from helicopters, and shells and machine gun rounds fired from tanks. The destroyed houses and burnt out cars provide ample evidence. In addition, the music festival was deliberately moved to a venue just a couple of kilometers from the Gaza fence just three days prior to the prison break, so that civilian casualties would be increased, giving the genocidaires a justification for more genocide. Anyone who tries to characterise 7 October as being primarily directed at civilians and who downplays the number of deaths attributable to the Hannibal directive is deliberately spreading Zionist propaganda.

On 7 October 2023, the Palestinian People, who languished under Ottoman rule, who languished under British rule, and who have survived repeated terrorism, rape, torture, and murder under Israeli rule, declared they would take this no more. We are so proud of them. Their struggle is unfair. Their struggle is against the choke-hold and death-grip of western colonial fascism, and the perversion of Talmudic Judaism and delusional superiority complexes. Their struggle is OUR struggle.

Even Rand Corp told the Israelis multiple times that bombing urban areas wasn't an effective or legal war strategy. If war planner Rand says that, you know we're in psychotic times.

Oct 7th was one day .Israeli Terrorism and slaughter of Palestinians started from the time they entered Palestine in 1900 AD and has been attempting to wipe the Palestinians out since then and has created a living hell that Palestinians have to live under since then, while the Foreign Colonial ISRAELI occupiers from the Russian Caucasus and Converts to the Hebrew religion who has been rewriting the Bible and History of the world has does nothing but deceive the world n and lie ,lie and lie some more ,and Kill ,kill, and kill some more to try and hide the truth .,but no mater how the Demonize and dehumanize the Palestinians and Gentiles and still try to play the innocent victims they have already exposed themselves to the world by their deeds and actions ,and whether on believes in the Bible or not the Bible was right they are Liars Murderers and Children of the DEVIL who are only here to carry out their fathers desires John 8:44I if you are a believer you support the Zionist and Zionism you are supporting the DEVILS children ,You will be the ones in HELL not the Palestinians or anyone else they are the Victims of the DEVIL.

**Washington and Israel created and supports ISIS, along with other anti-government terrorists in Syria and elsewhere.

NATO, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and other regional rogue states supply them with weapons and other material support.

So does Israel. In June 2015, the Times of Israel quoted former Israeli defense minister Moshe Yaalon, saying

we've assisted (anti-government terrorist groups in Syria on) two conditions. That they don get too close to Israel's border, and don't touch the Druze.

Israel provides hospital treatment for hundreds, maybe thousands, of terrorist fighters, calling it humanitarian assistance, according to Yaalon, adding its quote not in their interest to publicize Israeli aid including weapons and munitions supplied, along with Israeli air strikes, he failed to explain.

On April 24, FARS News reported increased US/UK/Israeli aid to al-Nusra terrorists aiming to create an autonomous region in Southern Syria, but the plan is confronted by Iran and Russia's intensified intelligence and military operations.

At the same time, Washington supports Kurdish fighters and terrorist groups in northern Syria. Israel is (providing) logistical, intelligence and medical support for terrorist groups, and the Israel-West-Jordan operations room is supervising (their) activities.

Russia, Damascus and Tehran oppose the establishment of autonomous regions in southern and northern Syria, supporting the country's sovereignty and territorial integrity.

Netanyahu Regime Secretly Arming and Funding Twelve or More Terrorist Groups in Syria

On April 24, the American Herald Tribune said Yaalon has admitted to a tacit (Israeli) alliance with ISIS. On Israeli television, he said within Syria there are many factions: the regime, Iran, the Russians, and even al-Qaeda and ISIS. In such circumstances, one must develop a responsible, carefully-balanced policy by which you protect your own interests on the one hand, and on the other hand you don't intervene. Because if Israel does intervene on behalf of one side, it will serve the interests of the other; which is why we've established red lines.

Anyone who violates our sovereignty will immediately feel the full weight of our power. On most occasions, firing comes from regions under the control of the regime.

But once the firing came from ISIS positions, and it immediately apologized. Israel has a longstanding alliance of convenience with regional terrorist groups and rogue states including Saudi Arabia, Qatar, other Gulf states, Jordan and Egypt.

In December 2014, The Jerusalem Post said a ;UN Disengagement Observer Force (UNDOF) (report) reveals that Israel has been working closely with Syrian rebels in the Golan Heights and have kept close contact over the past 18 months. The report was submitted to the UN Security Council at the beginning of the month. Fact: All so-called anti-Assad rebel groups are terrorists. No moderates exist. All commit gruesome atrocities, including CW attacks supplied by Turkey and Saudi Arabia Fact: Pentagon contractors train terrorists in use of CWs. They make some on their own. Western media suppress what most important to know about ongoing war in Syria. The country was invaded. Conflict isn't civil. All anti-government forces are terrorists. No moderate rebels exist. Washington, Israel and their rogue allies want regime change, Syrian sovereignty destroyed. Peace talks since 2012 accomplished nothing because Washington and Israel want another imperial trophy, Iran isolated ahead of plans to oust its government.

Russia is the only major power standing in the way of achieving these disturbing objectives. Putin is on the right side of history, resisting imperial lawlessness.

Well there are quite a few Versions of the Bible I heard Jews wrote their own Because they did not like Jesus or the the Original so the wrote the Scofield Bible which left out most of the original ,and only use certain parts they like. As for the Zionist I am not certain about the difference ,but they say they are the Original Jews My DNA map says My Ancestors were the original Hebrews, I don't consider them or myself Jew from my point the way I see it ,the Modern Day Israeli are Jews they named themselves that but also called us the same which confuses this whole religious situation ,we are Hebrew Israelis .I have been asking the folks who say their Ancestors are the Original Jews for over 5 years to provide their own Ancient Ancestors DNA Map so far not even one has done so, but have issues with my mine.
