On October 7, shortly after the Hamas attack on Israel, PM Benjamin Netanyahu declared the offensive as Israel’s 9/11. He is right in more ways than one. The US 9/11 was a horrendous and deadly false flag, and so is the Israeli one, or the so-called Operation Al-Aqsa Flood, assault by Hamas.
Both 9/11’s are meant to “justify” endless and crushing retributions. In the US, an endless and worldwide war on “terror” which means the entire world, as Washington sees fit, according to its “rules-based order.” Misbehaving nations are simply sanctioned and crushed, forced to their knees.
Israeli intel, as well as that of Egypt, the UK, the US, Brussels – EU – knew about the impending attack, planned by Israel in coordination with Hamas. A Jewish charity leader says Netanyahu ordered the Israeli military to stand down for 7 hours during the Hamas invasion.
For Israel, it justifies a stepped-up war on Palestine, the end of Gaza, eventually forcing 2.3 million Gazans to flee through Rafah into the Sinai Peninsula in northeast Egypt.
Despite the official rejection of Israel to establish a corridor for Gazan refugees – an agreement with Israel and Washington to starve to death as many Palestinians as possible – Egypt eventually may allow to open the Rafah border for “humanitarian reasons.” It is all part of the deal. See video below.
This was planned for years.
Hamas was set up and funded by Israel and the US/UK secret services.
Hamas must do the bidding of its masters – namely periodically shooting back at aggressive Israeli attacks at Palestine settlements, mostly in the Gaza strip, and eventually launching a massive attack on Israel (on 7 October), thus, provoking an even more gigantic and deadly act of retribution – one that may not end until Palestine is erased from the map.
And then onwards – for the creation of Greater Israel, in the process absorbing one third to half of the current Middle East.
For broader understanding of the Israel-Palestine war, see also this.
Once Gaza is Off the Map
Once Gaza is off the map, next is the end of the entire West Bank. In fact, the war on the Palestinian West Bank settlements has already begun.
As all attention is on Gaza being ransacked, leveled, and “emptied” by the Israeli killing machine, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) are already bulldozing villages in the West Bank, killing resisting Palestinians.
Today, reports from northern Israel, the border to Lebanon, accuse Hezbollah of firing rockets into Israel, having killed at least one Israeli. It must be understood that Hezbollah is also a creation of Israel, Mossad and allied Western secret services; with the same purpose as Hamas.
It may become an endless war for the conquest of the Middle East, for Greater Israel, an expanded home for the Chosen People. As long as the Zionist Israel – in contrast to normal Jewish Israeli – gets full support from the West in terms of weapons, money and cheers for her atrocities — Israel is on a free ascent to become the emperor’s full-fledged partner in crime, eventually exceeding that power, to rule the world. That is the “Chosen People’s ambition”.
But who knows whether this Kazarian-Zionist genocide on Palestine will go down in the West as easily as COVID did. In this case, it may backfire. There are massive pro-Palestinian protests in London, Paris, Berlin, and many more European cities, despite France’s Macron’s and Germany’s Scholz’s threat to forbid all pro-Palestinian demonstrations and to arrest and punish all perpetrators.
Other EU members are following the same dictate.
So far, they are not listening to the wannabe “new royals” of France and Germany. Immense pro-Palestinian manifestations took place in Paris and other cities of France last night; similarly in Germany.
Demonstration repression may be possible for a few hundred people, but not with tens and hundreds of thousands – into the millions.
In his explosive and informative piece, “The Nakba that Israel has started will backfire”, David Hearst describes the possible extent of destruction – as a monumental catastrophe, or “Nakba”, Netanyahu may have just started. See this.
The first “Nakba” refers to the violent mass displacement and dispossession of Palestinians during the 1948 Arab-Israeli war.
Before the forceful, UK-sponsored and UN-decided, establishment of Israel in the midst of Palestine – no consultation, no negotiations – Palestine was a multi-ethnic and multi-cultural society, living in harmony, including with Jewish settlers.
Things changed to the extreme. Knesset member Revital Gotliv called a few days ago on Israel to consider using a nuclear bomb on Gaza, posting on social media,
“Only an explosion that shakes the Middle East will restore this country’s dignity, strength, and security! It’s time to kiss doomsday” (David Hearst).
Maybe two decades ago, a Hindu guru who, acting as a medium for a disciple, claiming to be able to read into the future through the minds of able believers, said his devotee, in a state of trance, looking several hundred years ahead, saw the world as a harmonious clean and little populated paradise. Except, there was one region that was fenced and locked off for the rest of the world, due to dangers from war-like destruction and toxicity – that was the Middle East.
There is no proof for this story. And even if the predictions were true at the time, it does not mean that it will happen, as humans are dynamic beings with the capacity to change course.
There is no proof either the predictions took place. All links or references have disappeared from the internet. But given Netanyahu’s threats already on day one of IDF’s counteroffensive, “This is just the beginning” and “This will be a long war,” may indicate that this long-back Hindu prediction may not be far off.
No matter what prediction may be made at some point in time, and may even be true at that time, men can shape their own future. It is a question of mankind’s collective willpower. If enough people believe and work for PEACE and a harmonious future and cohabitation between different factions of populations – it is possible.
Why is this message important even though not proven?
It demonstrates at what level of total annihilation humanity has arrived. Wars everywhere, killing randomly and for more power, by weapons from the military industrial complex (MIC), bio weapons, directed energy weapons (DEW), as well as targeted weather and climate modification weapons (HAARP – High-frequency Active Auroral Research Program), by geoengineering the ionosphere.
These modern weaponry developments should incite reflections on how to exit the ever more violent and destructive Matrix. The faster and the more people exit the Matrix, the better humanity’s chances to salvage our civilization, not by revising it; but by a restart – outside of any given structure or Matrix.
Oslo Accords I and II
Back to Israel-Palestine – In the 1990s, there were the Oslo accords I and II. They were a historic hope for permanent peace and cohabitation of Israel and Palestine in a two-state solution.
Oslo I – In January 1993 in Oslo, Norway, sponsored by the Norwegian Minister of Defense (later Foreign Affairs), Jorgen Holst and his wife Marianne Heiberg, the so-called Oslo I Accords were signed by Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin and Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) Negotiator Mahmoud Abbas, representing Yasser Arafat, then PLO Chairman.
In September 1993, US President Bill Clinton hosted a formal and famous signing ceremony in Washington D.C. The Oslo Accords were a pivotal milestone in Israeli-Palestinian relations, aimed at propelling the peace process forward and providing for the expansion of Palestinian self-rule throughout most of the West Bank.
As a first and immediate step, Israel and the PLO agreed on withdrawal of Israel’s occupation from the Gaza Strip and Jericho.
This was Step One for an Oslo-planned two-state solution which would be negotiated within the coming five years. Two sovereign nations with the same rights to live peacefully as neighbors, side by side.
Oslo II was signed in Taba, Egypt, in 1995. It was to set out specific territories in the West Bank to become part of Palestine.
The accords failed because the agreements were not honored by Israel, which, from the beginning, had no interest in a two-state solution. Also, because self-governing for Palestine included managing their water resources, the water on or under Palestinian territories.
Some 80% of all water resources of the combined Israeli-Palestinian territory belong to Palestine. Water being of extreme importance in this dry, desert-like part of the world, this was unacceptable to Israel.
As it stands now, Israel appropriates the water resources for her own use – and leaves some to Palestine as Israel sees fit.
The Oslo Accords did not create a definite Palestinian state. The Palestinian-American philosopher, Edward Said, described them as a “Palestinian Versailles.” [The Treaty of Versailles was the Peace Agreement after WWI. The treaty gave some German territories to neighboring countries and placed other German territories under international supervision.]
Escalation at Warp Speed. Genocide
Today, the war is escalating at warp speed. The Israeli offensive in Gaza has caused hundreds if not thousands of deaths, and driven already close to a million people out of their homes in northern Gaza, fleeing towards southern Gaza, where many of them are amassing at the Rafah border with Egypt, hoping to eventually escape into Egypt’s Sinai territory.
In the meantime, journalist Maha Hussaini, describes the situation in Gaza on her dying cellphone. See below.
Israel has cut all electricity, fuel, food deliveries, internet connection and vital water supply.
Israel has also implemented a total news blackout from Gaza. Under “humanitarian pressure” from the west, Israel has said today they will reinstate water supply for Gaza.
Journalists are in hiding, but report with the last minutes of their cellphones energy to the outside world. Then, there will be silence.
At least nine journalists, who were caught by the Israeli offensive in Gaza at home or on their way to southern Gaza, were killed, as described by Maha Hussaini. But she says, we will stay steadfast and report whenever and however we can.
There is hope, always hope, as long as the sun shines on Mother Earth. But humanity must fundamentally change. It is a question of conscious awakening. Either by the elite, pretending ruling the planet, or by the very military fighting each other – in Israel, Palestine, Ukraine, Russia and anywhere in the world.
If they become conscious of what they are doing, engaging in wars, not only putting their own lives on the line for the interests of a small elite, and killing their brethren on the other side of the frontline; if they wake up, stop shooting, bombing and hating, and instead go home to their families, start loving their own lives, and the lives of their unbeknown enemies – all wars and killing will stop.
