Israel vs Palestine/Lebanon/Iran/Yemen/Syria: a New Middle East War

[Rizotto]

"The Grayzone's Max Blumenthal and Aaron Mate discuss Israel's openly stated promise to attack civilian infrastructure in Beirut in response to a Hezbollah retaliation, and what it says about the placement of Israeli military and intelligence bases."

Israel vows 'disproportionate' response to counter-attack

Paraphrasing: 'Israel has a long history of continued attacks on neighboring countries, deliberately provoking them to conduct retalations, which Israel then uses as a pretext for launching full-fledged wars to grab more lands, knowing that the USA deep state will fully assist them. It’s up to the American people to stop this.'

Just a bit different interview from Al Jaweera as usual... I didn't watch it yet... I will do late afternoon...

Avraham Stern, leader of a Zionist armed group that fought the British in Palestine, aimed to create a Jewish state.

National Jewish hero or radical Zionist paramilitary leader? Avraham Stern was the leader of the Stern Gang, one of the Jewish armed groups that fought the British Mandate in Palestine in the 1930s and early '40s.

This film tells his story through his own son and a range of contemporary historians. It presents both pro- and anti-Zionist sides of a controversial narrative - who Stern was, how he set up and ran the Stern Gang and how he led it in fighting the British administration and Palestinians with the ultimate aim of founding a Jewish state. Some historians believe he may have collaborated with the Nazis and accepted money and weapons in a deal that enabled them to ship large numbers of Jews from Germany to Palestine. Whatever the evidence, this is fascinating insight into a major figure in the Jewish movement that led to the creation of Israel.

For more than 10 months, Palestinians in Gaza have faced relentless displacement due to Israel’s war on Gaza. The territory has become a patchwork of “safe zones”, forcing families to constantly move in search of refuge.

However, even these so-called safe zones have been bombed, and leaflets continue to fall from the sky, instructing Palestinians to evacuate.

OCHA has warned that Israel’s directive for people to leave Gaza City will only exacerbate the mass suffering of Palestinian families, many of whom have already been displaced multiple times.

Former Israeli Peace Negotiator Daniel Levy: U.S. Is Part of "Axis of Zionist Extremism"

Source: https://youtube.com/watch?v=EO8OwqMDDAU

The United States, Qatar and Egypt are urging Israel and Hamas to hold a new round of negotiations to finalize a ceasefire deal in Gaza. However, Hamas is urging mediators to enforce the ceasefire terms proposed by President Biden in May that Hamas already agreed to and that Israel rejected.

Daniel Levy, president of the U.S./Middle East Project and a former Israeli peace negotiator under Prime Ministers Ehud Barak and Yitzhak Rabin, says U.S.-led efforts for a ceasefire are likely to fail as long as the Biden administration remains unwilling to pressure Israel. "It's quite clear Netanyahu does not want a ceasefire deal," says Levy, who adds that the Washington playbook of unlimited support for Israel and threats to keep other regional actors in line could pull the U.S. into a wider Middle East war. "America is playing the role as a member of the axis of Zionist extremism."

The killing of Jumana and her two newborn twin babies in Gaza yesterday was especially painful for us at HEAL Palestine because we were involved in supporting her to have a safe delivery over the past several months. There needs to be an immediate ceasefire to stop the daily killing of innocent women and children in #Gaza and the start of peace negotiations. ☮️✌️🇵🇸

Breaking | An investigation by the Israeli newspaper Haaretz reveals that Israeli occupation forces systematically used Palestinian detainees as human shields during their invasion of Gaza.

The practice, including using Palestinians to clear tunnels and buildings, was conducted with the approval of senior military officers, including the Israeli Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi.

Israeli soldiers stated that their own lives were prioritized over those of Palestinians, and using them as human shields was deemed preferable in certain situations, including with children and the elderly.

“If I Was A Palestinian, I Would Fight Against Israel’s Occupation”: Former Israeli Security Chief Ami Ayalon
A fiery exchange between Mehdi and Admiral Ayalon, ex-head of Israel’s Navy and Shin Bet spy agency, on apartheid, torture and Gaza.


TEAM ZETEO AND MEHDI HASAN
AUG 13, 2024


Throughout the course of Israel’s brutal 10-month assault on Gaza, Ami Ayalon – the former head of Israel’s Security Service, Shin-Bet, and the ex-commander of the Israeli Navy – has emerged as one of the Netanyahu government’s chief critics, along with several other former Israeli military officials.
In this wide-ranging interview for ‘Mehdi Unfiltered,’ Ayalon tells Mehdi why he believes Benjamin Netanyahu and Itamar Ben-Gvir are a threat to Israeli democracy, why it is time to “stop the occupation,” and why he would fight against Israel if he were a Palestinian.

“[Netanyahu] did everything in order to increase the power of Hamas and to make sure that Abu Mazen and the Palestinian Authority will not be able to create a unified government,” Ayalon says. “I think that too many Israelis do not understand that we shall not have security unless we shall stop the occupation. And we shall not have democracy unless we shall end the occupation.”

As reports of Israeli torture and rape against detained Palestinians continue to emerge, Mehdi also confronts Ayalon over allegations of torture against Shin Bet on his watch - and the former security chief admits to Mehdi that he has “many regrets.”

Watch the full interview, above, to see Mehdi debate Ayalon on whether or not Israel is committing war crimes in Gaza by bombing civilian targets. Please note that free subscribers can only watch the first ten minutes as a preview...

Mediators are hoping to kick-start ceasefire negotiations between Israel and Hamas on Thursday.
The two sides have been mulling a US-backed proposal for over two months.

Indirect talks have not advanced substantively during that time and sticking points remain.
Meanwhile, there's no let-up in Israeli attacks on Gaza and fears of an all-out regional war involving Iran and its proxies have surged.

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken postponed his trip to the Middle East but approved a $20bn arms sale to Israel.
What does all this mean for finalising a ceasefire in Gaza?

Have we tried to add this up?

The US State Department has approved an $18.82 billion sale of 50 F-15IA multirole fighter jets and related equipment to the government of Israel, the Defense Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA) said on Tuesday.

“The Secretary of State has approved a possible Foreign Military Sale to the Government of Israel of F-15IA and F-15I+ Aircraft and related equipment for an estimated cost of $18.82 billion,” the agency said in a press release. “The Government of Israel has requested to buy up to fifty (50) new F-15IA multi-role fighter aircraft.”

The Israeli government has also requested to purchase 25 modification kits for its existing F-15I multi-role fighter aircraft, 120 F110-GE-129 engines, 90 Advanced Display Core Processors II, 320 LAU-128 Advanced Medium Range Air-to-Air Missile launchers, 25 M61A Vulcan cannons, and 180 Embedded Global Positioning System/Inertial Navigation System, among other related equipment, according to the release.

Moreover, the US State Department has approved a possible $102.5 million sale of 30 AIM-120C-8 Advanced Medium Range Air-to-Air Missiles (AMRAAM) and related equipment to the government of Israel, the DSCA announced.

"The Secretary of State has approved a possible Foreign Military Sale to the Government of Israel of Advanced Medium Range Air-to-Air Missiles and related equipment for an estimated cost of $102.5 million," the press release said.

The Israeli government has also requested to buy one AMRAAM guidance spare section, AMRAAM control sections and containers, common munitions built-in-test/reprogramming equipment (CMBRE) and spare parts, among other equipment, the statement read.

Furthermore, the US State Department approved a $61.1 million sale of 50,000 120mm high explosive mortar cartridges to Israel, the agency revealed.

"The Secretary of State has approved a possible Foreign Military Sale to the Government of Israel of M933A1 120mm High Explosive Mortar Cartridges and related equipment for an estimated cost of $61.1 million," the DSCA noted. "The Government of Israel has requested to buy fifty thousand (50,000) M933A1 120mm High Explosive (HE) mortar cartridges."

In addition, the US State Department has approved a potential $774.1 million sale of 120mm tank cartridges and related equipment to Israel, the agency said.

"The Secretary of State has approved a possible Foreign Military Sale to the Government of Israel of 120mm Tank Cartridges and related equipment for an estimated cost of $774.1 million. The Defense Security Cooperation Agency delivered the required certification notifying Congress of this possible sale today," the press release read.

Israel has requested the purchase of 32,739 120mm tank cartridges, including High Explosive Multi-Purpose and Anti-Tank variants, in a deal valued at $774.1 million. The request also covers additional munitions, logistics, and support services, with deliveries expected to start in 2027, according to the release.

The US State Department has also approved a $583 million sale of M1148A1P2 Tactical Vehicles to Israel, the DSCA announced.
"The Secretary of State has approved a possible Foreign Military Sale to the Government of Israel of modified M1148A1P2 Family of Medium Tactical Vehicles (FMTV) and related equipment for an estimated cost of $583.1 million," the Pentagon said.

The release did not specify the number of vehicles included in the package but said deliveries were expected to begin in 2026.

Just reading that is like being embalmed.

Will they make it that far? Not sure; it's a small country, easily deprived of military buildup, should someone with advanced weapons pursue it.

This film just fills me with despair and horror and anger....

Mehdi Hasan moderates a panel with prominent voices from Israeli and Palestinian society after the premiere of Zeteo’s documentary “Israel’s Reel Extremism,” which was produced by UK documentary company Basement Films.

The panel includes acclaimed Haaretz correspondent Amira Hass, author of "Drinking the Sea at Gaza"; Simone Zimmerman, the co-founder of the Jewish anti-apartheid organization “IfNotNow”; and Najla Said, an award-winning actor, playwright, author, and activist.

They talked about the film (which, if you haven’t seen it yet, what are you waiting for!), each of their unique experiences in Israel, in the Occupied Palestinian Territories, and for Najla and Simone, living in the U.S. and navigating life here as activists critical of Israel and supporters of a free Palestine.

A copy of the Rabbi's speech at an Emergency Council meeting of European Rabbis, which may be useful as a historical resource. This, from the CIA's own library.

First of all, he's lying, since he says "concertedly striven for three thousand years". Secondly, he isn't, since we should know what is in those CIA files:

Our Race Will Rule Undisputed Over The World is a fabricated speech often cited in antisemitic propaganda, supposedly given by a "Rabbi Emanuel Rabinovich". However, both the speech and Rabinovich were, like the "Israel Cohen" of A Racial Program for the Twentieth Century, fictitious creations of Eustace Mullins.

The speech was first published in the May 1952 issue of Women's Voice and September 1952 issue of the Canadian Intelligence Service, published by the Ron Gostick and the antisemitic Canadian League of Rights. It also appeared in the antisemitic broadsheet Common Sense, (A Newspaper Upholding Christianity and Patriotism) published by Conde McGinley. The paper was notorious for its use of invented quotations and stories throughout the 1950s and 1960s, including, famously, a made-up quote by Nikita Khrushchev.

Substack breakdown of the implausibility of this unverifiable information.

Mullins was good for one thing, Secrets of the Federal Reserve, and otherwise is a predictable mouthpiece of the "anti-Semitism" referred to frequently in the memorandum.

The CIA collects everything. They are just reproducing it in raw form. Without any additional context, you don't know if they tickled themselves pink over it. The best clue here is at that time they became "rabid anti-Communist" and this is why they got involved with the Pope and the Italian Fascists. That would easily be their main work ca. 1950-1990. It boils down to hate/fear Russia, love/uphold the Nazis, but try to come up with a different name.

Mullins has regurgitated the Protocols and the Taxil hoax, which may sound similar, but had two different intentions.

If people actually had over-reacted to this story of his, perhaps Zion would not have expanded to what we have now, but, as soon as you would say anything like it, you would be viewed as a "Nazi", despite the whole thing being more or less backwards. Zionists are on the same page as latter-day Fascists, or, Jews are effectively Catholics, in the political sense.
