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

Trump supporters really need to admonish Trump about his 'Israel first' policies.

Two good ways to "die too young" in this world: Attack (1) big pharma or (2) Israeli Zionists in a seriously big and effective way.

Perhaps Trump has to play along with these two major powers, while those powers are being weakened in various more covert ways. Most major wars, against enemies that have become quite powerful, over generations, don't start by attacking the King's castle head on.

Now that additional ordinary people, around the world, are becoming more aware of the dark and dangerous sides of (1) big pharma or (2) Israeli Zionists, more powerful attacks can be mounted against them, and these attacks might come from other people, nations or interests, not necessarily just from Trump.

There's no question that zionist Israelis are among the most dangerous people in the world. It has crossed the minds of many that Trump knows this, that his show of support for Isreal is just an act, and his intention is really to distance himself once it is safer to do so. Personally I don't believe that.

The reality is that Trump has gone out of his way to conduct pointlessly provocative and deadly operations in the middle east for Israel's benefit. During his presidency Trump could easily have turned down the heat in the middle east with vague promises of help to Israel and long-winded speeches about the need for peaceful negotiations, and then insist that his focus must be on USA's domestic problems, which are indeed looming huge and urgent. Who could argue with Trump stating that USA troops need to be moved from all these off-shore military bases to the US-Mexico border for ensuring the safety of the american public.

Another pointless move is Trump's allegations that Iran is behind the assassination attempts, without evidence. This only makes him look unhinged. We can only guess that he's being fed these notions by ardent zionists in his close circle, from whom Trump should distance himself. But instead he believes them without a second thought. Not looking good.

Not looking good.

When you're playing blood sports at the level they're playing them ... it apparently, sometimes, seems that it kind of has to not look good, seriously really not good.

Successful generals, in really serious, must win, major wars will sometimes send some of their troops to die in ugly brutal ways. We are the troops in this war for the future of humanity.

I don't know any certain way for us observers from a distance to achieve a consensus that reliably distinguishes the just plain ugly and evil for dark purposes, from the deviously ugly and evil for a higher purpose.

May we each do the best we can, regarding both our own affairs, and our contribution to larger affairs.

Roughly correct, although I would add the caveat that I, at least, would not send you on a suicide mission, or on something that won't work.

In the long run, a critical mass of humanity will dump this garbage.

However, no outsiders are likely to help "us", and we are relegated to a showdown with Establishment. That thing I posted about Global Awakening is not really meant for us, it is the networking of those who are largely free of those concerns. We perhaps may be stuck with watching an economic decline, while we sanction ourselves into a corner, which may start to get someone's attention. There is usually not a way to do this unless they suffer. The thesis that *most* of our "foreign policy" has been an effort to save "Capitalism" since the 80s should certainly bring up a roster of failed policies, attempting to prop up a system that won't work. I'd say we are eating it big time, already, but, there are still too many resting on their laurels up on a pedestal.

Quick recap:



Israeli occupation army says a team commander in the Egoz Commando Unit killed in the fighting with Hezbollah in southern Lebanon

Israeli FM Katz declares UN chief Guterres “persona non grata” over “unequivocally condemning” Iran attack

Iranian and Qatari high-ranking officials signed joint memoranda of understanding (MoUs) in various economic, trade, cultural, training and sports sectors on Wednesday.

The documents were signed during President Masoud Pezeshkian and his accompanying delegation's visit to Doha on Wednesday.



and:


Hezbollah Media Relations Officer Mohammad Afif stressed on Wednesday that heavy losses have been inflicted upon the Israeli enemy forces who tried to infiltrate into Lebanon but were met with high resistance and ambushes by the Islamic Resistance fighters.

During a press tour in Beirut’s southern suburb, Dahiyeh, Afif assured journalists that Hezbollah’s resistance remains strong and its command and control system is fully intact.

“Our forces are fully prepared to engage with the enemy, and what happened in Maroun Al-Ras, Adaisseh and Mesgav Am was just the beginning,” he told journalists in Dahiyeh.

Afif noted, meanwhile, that the Israeli enemy is imposing strict media blackout on the Zionist casualties, affirming that the number of casualties in today’s battles is very high.

On the other hand, Hezbollah’s Afif emphasized that the structures targeted in Beirut’s Dahiyeh were civilian, rejecting Israeli claims that weapons were stored beneath the buildings.

“We are experiencing a ‘Lebanese Gaza’ once again,” the Hezbollah official stated, describing the bombardment of Al-Sirat TV Channel’s headquarters as an act of “terrorist aggression.”

“Israel is systematically and continuously destroying civilian buildings. This destruction will only strengthen our people’s resolve to support the resistance,” he stated.

Nasralla death marks Israel apocalyptic rise

by Alexander Dugin (extract from a long article)

In other words, Israel relies on a vast network of supporters, people who share the principles of political and religious Zionism in all countries of the world. This gives Israel a major advantage as a networked structure, not just a state.

It is precisely this Zionist structure that subjected the population of Gaza to mass genocide. And now it has carried out a similar terrorist attack on Lebanon, achieving the death of Hezbollah's leader, the charismatic spiritual and political leader of the Shia vanguard of the Axis of Resistance.

By acting in this manner, Israel is setting goals to create a great state. This is being done in anticipation of the coming and enthronement of the Messiah, who will subject all countries and peoples of the world to Israel (in the Christian and Muslim understanding, this figure is the false messiah, the Antichrist, or Dajjal). One can imagine what is happening now in the minds of far-right Zionists who see their successes. They can only interpret this as the nearness of the Messiah, and the current actions of Israel's far-right government under Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu are seen as paving the way for his reign.

As of today, practically all obstacles to the destruction of the Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem have been removed. In the very near future, Israeli far-right forces, buoyed by their triumphant mood, may act on this, after which they will begin the construction of the Third Temple on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. The collective West supports all of this, allowing for the mass extermination of innocent people who stand in the way of "Greater Israel." This includes attacking them using any technical means.

It is possible that Israel will now follow up with a ground invasion of Lebanon and beyond, with the aim of creating a "Greater Israel" from sea to sea. No matter how utopian or extremist the projects of Netanyahu and his even more far-right ministers, Smotrich and Ben-Gvir, may appear, they are being carried out right before our eyes.

Only a force that is comparable in strength, equipment, and determination to violate all possible laws and cross any red lines can fight such an iron enemy. And whether such a force exists, we will soon find out.

Iran missile attack: what we learned last night : Mindless march to World War 3 may have hit a brick wall yesterday

During the night of 2nd October 2024, Iran unleashed their operation "True Promise 2," launching between 200 and 400 ballistic missiles into Israel. As the video footage coming from Israel has shown, many of these missiles reached their targets inflicting substantial damage on the ground. Apparently, some offshore gas platforms were also struck. Claims and counterclaims are a bit all over the place at the moment: Israelis have claimed that the Iranian attack failed and that most of the missiles were intercepted. Netanyahu's aide Hananya Naftali even tweeted a "BRAVO" to Israel's aerial defence systems for intercepting "nearly all the missiles."

But the footage from last night gives a very different impression; it corroborates those who claimed that many missiles hit their targets. A few of the videos also confirm that the Iranians do indeed possess hypersonic missiles. We also know now that these have a long range and seem accurate enough. This lesson alone could be a game changer.

Why hypersonic missiles are a game changer

Hypersonic missiles can't be intercepted. The most advanced Western air defence systems can shoot down incoming projectiles flying at up to mach 3. So far as the Patriot Missiles are concerned, their success rate is very poor even at that. Nothing in Western powers' arsenal can defend against hypersonic missiles and this certainly got the Pentagon's attention. The implication is that all US Navy assets and military bases in the Middle East are defenceless, and that Iran has the capability to strike them.

During yesterday's attack, two U.S. destroyers in the eastern Mediterranean launched twelve SM-3 ballistic missile interceptor rockets, their most advanced air defence system. The problem is that the current production rate of SM-3s is down to zero! Thus, even if SM-3s are effective, Western air defence systems are not for the long haul and will deplete rapidly in case of further escalation.

At the same time, Iran has many thousands of missiles ready. Here's what CSIS says about Irans' arsenal:

"Iran possesses the largest and most diverse missile arsenal in the Middle East, with thousands of ballistic and cruise missiles, some capable of striking as far as Israel and southeast Europe. For the past decade, Iran has invested significantly to improve these weapons' precision and lethality. Such developments have made Iran's missile forces... a credible threat to U.S. and partner military forces in the region.”

This should be all over the media: unelected White House figures are privately telling Israel that Washington will support their military attacks against Hezbollah, in contradiction to Biden's public statements calling for a ceasefire.

Nasralla death marks Israel apocalyptic rise

by Alexander Dugin (extract from a long article)

He is a quite good writer but in what way? He gets a fairly shiny polish on the Russian political view. In other words, that was no kind of a surprise, most of them have been thinking something like this for a long time. Well, it seems to be coming clear.

Defeating the Messianic Military to a man may not be necessary if the country fractures. We might remind them that the Messiah was Cyrus the Great. The End. I am sure that some of them cling to certain beliefs, even if the reality of it is political. It will definitely take more force to degrade it. That's available:


Al-Rudwan Forces to Israeli Elite Soldiers: You Can Either Die or Run Away


Dozens of Israeli soldiers were either killed or injured during the first day of the direct clash. In this regard, Islamic Resistance’s military sources told Al-Jazeera TV Channel that all the Zionist soldiers who tried to invade South Lebanon were either killed or injured.

“The rest fled away.”

The sources added that the Resistance fighters are attacking the front line of the invading forces as well as the IOF supply lines and gatherings within the occupied Palestinian territories.

Islamic Resistance’s military sources also told Al-Mayadeen TV Channel about the ambush in Al-Odaisseh / Khallet al-Mahaffar on the Lebanese-Palestinian border, giving important details.

“In the early hours of Tuesday, 01-10-2024, the fighters of the Islamic Resistance observed reconnaissance movements by the Israeli enemy army in an uncovered area opposite the town of Al-Odaisseh, as part of scouting a possible advance path for enemy soldiers.”

“The fighters did not engage the recon force and let it complete its mission and return. Based on the movements and behavior of this force, the fighters were able to set up an advanced ambush in Al-Mahaffar – Al-Odaisseh area, awaiting the entry of elite forces to position themselves in one of the houses in the area.”

“At dawn on Wednesday, 02-10-2024, a force from the Israeli elite army began silently infiltrating the ambush area, numbering over 30 officers and soldiers.”

When the “Israeli” force reached the ambush point (not far from the border), the Resistance fighters shouted “Labbayka ya Nasrallah,” and showered them with a hail of bullets and shells, according to the sources.

“The clash with the force reached point-blank range, resulting in numerous casualties and injuries among the infiltrating force, causing the soldiers to cry out in anguish over their dead and wounded.”

“Simultaneously, support groups in the Resistance targeted the enemy’s supply lines in Misgav Am, Kfar Giladi , and Al-Metula with mortars and rockets, impeding reinforcements for the targeted force.”

The “Israeli” Air Force immediately intervened with helicopters to comb the area and evacuate the dead and wounded, while the enemy began launching smoke bombs, the sourced added.

The Islamic Resistance promises its most sacred martyr, His Eminence Secretary-General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah (peace be upon him), its loyal, brave, and generous people, and all the righteous martyrs, that it remains steadfast in defending the precious land of Lebanon according to the field plans overseen by its martyred leaders, according to the sources.

The Islamic Resistance sources warned the enemy that what it witnessed today was just a tiny sample of what awaits them in every inch of southern Lebanese land if they dare to advance.

“Between us and this enemy are days, nights, and the battlefield.”

Hezbollah’s Islamic Resistance continued its unwavering efforts to defend Lebanese territories and support the Gaza Strip. Since the early morning on Wednesday, the group’s valiant fighters confronted an Israeli occupation infantry force attempting to infiltrate Lebanese territory while also targeting gatherings of Zionist soldiers in the border areas.

Oct.2,2024
In this explosive interview, Iranian Professor Mohammad Marandi from the University of Tehran delivers a stern warning to both Israel and the United States, following the recent missile exchanges in the region. Speaking with Sky News, Professor Marandi confronts the reporter, dismantling claims of Iran’s failure and issuing a bold message: if Israel dares to strike back, Iran will retaliate with overwhelming force.

Professor Marandi highlights Iran’s extensive underground missile infrastructure and asserts that any aggression will result in severe consequences, not just for Israel, but also for U.S. assets in the Middle East. He paints a dire picture of potential global economic collapse and mass displacement if the conflict escalates.

Tensions between Iran, Israel, and the U.S. have reached a boiling point, and this interview captures the gravity of the situation.

Israel Bombs Russian Bases in Syria, Yemen & Hezbollah Fire Bomb Tel Aviv

https://www.rumormillnews.com/cgi-bi...gi?read=246906

Vanessa Beeley, who lives in Syria, asserts that no military bases were hit. Here's her post from earlier today:

"A wide scale Israeli aggression was carried out on the Syrian coast around the city of Jableh. Syrian and Russian air defenses shot down dozens of hostile targets. The attack is the largest in the region so far, the number of interceptions by the Syrian and Russian air defenses has exceeded 60 interceptions.

The attack was in successive waves of missiles and drones and it lasted from approximately 04:00 until 05:50. The Israeli bombing did not target the runways and towers at Latakia International Airport or the Russian Hmeimim base, but rather targeted nearby warehouses.

A Russian air patrol was spotted in the skies of Latakia after the bombing ended."

BLASTS REPORTED NEAR KEY RUSSIAN AIR BASE IN SYRIA (VIDEOS)

Early on October 3, a series of blasts rocked the vicinity of the Russian Khmeimim Air Base which is located near the coastal Syrian town of Jableh.

According to the pro-government Sham FM, Syrian air defenses opened fire to confront several “targets” off the coast of the governorate of Lattakia. The radio station later reported that firefighters in Jableh were working to extinguish a large blaze.

From its side, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported that drones struck an ammunition depot close to Khmeimim Air Base .

The London-based pro-opposition monitoring group said that what appears to be Israeli fighter jets were flying over the sea at the time of the attack.

Neither the Syrian or Russian militaries have released any statement clarifying what exactly happened in Jableh. There was also no comment from the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF), which does not usually claim responsibility for its attack against Syria.

Khmeimim Air Base, the headquarters of the Russian military group in Syria, was attacked in the past with drones launched by Syrian militants from the northwestern region of Greater Idlib. However, it appears that the IDF was involved in the latest attack.

Israel escalated its attacks on Syria significantly since the outbreak of the war in the Palestinian enclave of the Gaza Strip, targeting Syrian military sites as well as personnel of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, Hezbollah and other factions of the so-called Axis of Resistance.

The IDF vowed recently to prevent all weapons shipments from Iran to Hezbollah in Lebanon, which often are delivered via Syria.

Last week, Syrian air defenses intercepted at least 13 aerial targets over the waters off the port of Tartus, where a Russian naval base is located. The IDF was also suspected of being behind the failed attack.

AT LEAST EIGHT ISRAELI TROOPS KILLED IN FIRST PUSH INTO LEBANON (VIDEOS)

At least eight Israeli troops were killed by Hezbollah on October 2 as the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) attempted to make its first serious push into southern Lebanon.

Hezbollah announced in separate statements that its fighters targeted Israeli troops who advanced towards the towns of Odaisseh, Maroun al-Ras, Yaroun and Kfarkela. Later, the IDF admitted that five troops from the Egoz Commando Unit, two from the Golani Brigade’s reconnaissance unit and one from the Yahalom Combat Engineering Unit were killed.

The five Egoz commandos, including a team commander, and the Yahalom engineer were all killed during a gun battle with Hezbollah fighters, according to the IDF, which said that another officer and four soldiers were seriously wounded in the same incident.

The military also said that two soldiers of the Golani recon unit were killed in a separate incident, in which another soldier was seriously wounded. In a third incident, a combat medic with the Golani Brigade’s 51st Battalion was seriously wounded, per the military.

The Lebanese military said in a statement that Israeli troops advanced some 400 meters into Lebanon before withdrawing.

Hezbollah announced other attacks against the IDF. The group shelled several gatherings along the Lebanese border, struck a group of troops between Odaisseh and the site of Misgav Am, attacked an artillery position near the settlement of Neve Ziv and destroyed three Merkava main battle tanks near Maroun al-Ras using guided missiles.

While the IDF has announced the death of eight troops so far. Sky News Arabia, citing Israeli security sources, reported that at least 14 were killed. Dozens others were reportedly killed.

The clashes on the Lebanese-Israeli border first broke out after the start of the war in the Gaza Strip, with Hezbollah and its allies launching near-daily attacks in support of the Palestinian enclave. Israel escalated its attacks on Lebanon starting from September 17 and on September 27 it assassinated the Secretary-General of Hezbollah, Hassan Nassrallah. The IDF officially announced the launch of a ground operation in Lebanon on September 30.

Overall, the confrontation between Hezbollah and IDF has so far resulted in 26 civilian deaths in Israel and the occupied Syrian Golan Heights as well as the deaths of at least 30 soldiers and security officers. On the Lebanese side, at least 1,642 people have been killed, including more than 500 members of Hezbollah.

The One Video Israel REALLY Doesn't Want You To See

Many thanks for posting this video Rizotto, which is perhaps even more damning now than it was when it was first posted. Why, because there's been just more of the same, more lies, more depravity, more butchering, maiming, starving and killing of innocent people, people like you and me, and there's nothing at all we, the watchers, can do except watch it unfold, with the realisation that we're probably in the queue as well.

I haven't posted on either of the war threads for a long time, partially because there's no let-up in the continual degradation and suffering being meted out by Israel and the Zionists in the west, but mostly because of the lies and propaganda being thrown at us by the media, who are corrupted in their complicity with zionist ideology.

The chosen people? Don't make me laugh. Who was The Bible/Old Testament was written by, although zionism probably wasn't invented back then (but maybe it was, who knows). And then it's so easy for their lies to cast doubt on the holocaust, which is a tragedy in itself, because they've over-egged their own pudding and diluted the real suffering that went on in WW2 on all sides. Shame on them.

So when the realisation hits that everything is a lie, everything from our ancient and world history to where we are today, has been distorted, there seems little point in commenting any further. The Great Divide draws near . . .
