Israeli missiles from its Iron Dome system intercept missile over Ashkelon fired from Gaza
James Tweedie – Spunik International Oct 20, 2023
The US cannot give Israel the arms it needs for a war with Hamas, Hezbollah and Iran — or even maintain its own forces — says a military veteran.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has declared war on the Hamas movement that rules in the besieged Gaza Strip in the wake of the surprise attack by several allied militant groups on October 7.
The incursion and subsequent skirmishes — including with Lebanese Hezbollah guerrillas on Israel’s northern border — has left almost 300 Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) troops dead with 200 more held captive in Gaza. around 1,000 Israeli civilians were also killed. That represents Israel’s worst losses since its 1982 invasion of southern Lebanon.
Tel Aviv has called up some 350,000 IDF reservists and has bombed Gaza for almost two weeks in preparation for a ground offensive, which Economy Minister Nir Barkat said had been given the “green light” on Thursday. But that invasion has yet to materialise.
Former US Marine and UN weapons inspector Scott Ritter told Sputnik the IDF simply “can’t go into Gaza.”
“If they go into Gaza, they will be slaughtered by Hamas who has deliberately set this trap,” Ritter stressed. “Hamas is waiting for them to come in. Hamas will kill them in large numbers.”
Along with the risk of heavy casualties in Gaza, Israel is wary of Hezbollah’s threat to launch a major attack from the north if the IDF goes in.
“Israel cannot beat Hezbollah,” Ritter argued. “There’s a real likelihood that if Hezbollah comes in with everything they have, they will seize northern Israel in its totality, all the way up to the Sea of Galilee. Syria will recapture the Golan Heights, and there isn’t anything Israel can do to stop it.”
US president Joe Biden visited Tel Aviv on Wednesday to pledge unqualified support to Israel — while endorsing Netanyahu’s claim that it was a stray Islamic Jihad rocket that killed 471 Palestinian refugees at the al-Ahli Baptist hospital in Gaza, not an Israeli bomb or missile.
Israel has asked Washington for large quantities of military equipment and munitions, including tens of thousands of 155mm-calibre artillery shells previously earmarked for Ukraine, and as many missiles for its Iron Dome air defense system — used to intercept rockets launched from Gaza — as the US could supply.
“Israel has exhausted its Iron Dome. They sent an emergency request to the United States for all of the Iron Dome ammunition we had,” Ritter noted. But while “Israel’s hoping to get several thousand rounds, maybe 10,000 rounds,” all the US could offer was “360-some odd. That’s all we have.”
“Hamas will exhaust that in one night, firing two salvos of 150 rockets each. That’s it,” he warned. “And Hezbollah’s sitting on a stockpile of tens of thousands. And if they fire these… and Israel has nothing to knock them down, that means Hamas will eviscerate Israel will destroy Israel’s leadership capacity, industrial capacity, military capacity.”
Ritter said Israel’s leaders had “backed themselves into a corner” by vowing to destroy Hamas, a goal they have failed to achieve several times in the past.
“They’ve let their rhetoric get the better of them,” he said, noting that even Biden had told Netanyahu to “calm down.”
“Behind the scenes he was actively telling the Israelis the hard truth: that America isn’t going to step in and fight Israel’s battles for it, that if Israel goes into Gaza, one of the consequences will be Hezbollah’s intervention,” Ritter said.
“America is not putting boots on the ground or dropping bombs on Hezbollah because we don’t want a wider war with Iran,” he added. We have thousands of troops positioned throughout the Persian Gulf whose lives would be put at risk if Iran joined this fight. We don’t want that. It’s not our fight.”
The former US Marine dismissed Biden’s deployment of two aircraft carrier strike groups along with a Marine Corps amphibious assault ship with F-35 fighters and 2,000 troops to the eastern Mediterranean in a warning to other nations not to intervene as the US “flexing its muscles.”
“If you reflect on the reality that’s all we have. There’s nothing else to send Israel,” Ritter said. “And what we’ve deployed is not enough to handle the threat that can be posed by Hezbollah in Lebanon or by Iran if it chooses to intervene.”
He noted that, like its arms industry, the US military was increasingly hollowed out as young people lose interest in fighting — and losing — overseas wars.
“60,000 I think was the target to recruit for this year, and we were short 6000. That means that the army is missing 6000 soldiers, that it has billets for. If you don’t have soldiers to fill that billet, then you have to shrink your military further,” Ritter explained.
“In order to meet this new two-war concept that Biden and Congress are talking about, we’re going to have to increase the size of our conventional military. That means they will have to increase it by about 100,000 -150,000,” he pointed out. “We can’t meet the current recruiting requirements because nobody wants to fight.”
Well, it’s the draft.
The Arab/Muslim powers don’t want war, well, their elites don’t, but the sheeple do. They’ve had enough, and Biden’s pledge to support Israel no matter what it does, has lit a fire which could set the region a blaze.
As usual, this was planned by the NWO Nazis. They needed a new game, because they’ve been well and truly beaten in UKraine.
The same mistakes made in UKraine, the coup, the Nazi NATO expansion, the genocide in Eastern UKraine, the planned NATO attack on Eastern UKraine, and then Crimea, has been repeated in Israel, by what is effectively a coup, where Bibi gutted the Israeli legal system, and now the ultra hard right Nazis are turning on the regular Nazis.
Hamas knew what direction Israel was heading, and the ultra hard right Nazis let Hamas attack. Very quickly everyone is forgetting justified accusations of treachery, that Hamas could only have succeeded if they were helped.
Ritter is right, I said it as well, Hamas wants the IDF in Gaza, and they will kill thousands of poorly trained Israeli soldiers.
We here these daft threats that if Iran gets involved, such as firing missiles into Israel, Iran will get nuked. Iran will close the Strait of Hormuz, oil will easily pass $1000 per barrel. If Hormuz is closed, the West will totally collapse.
Many, many years ago, I said Isreal is like a legless man wearing an explosive vest. A tiny country which is basically a powder keg waiting to go off.
Before, and certainly since the Obama era, US Nazi foreign policy has been a string of disasters. Moving two carrier strike groups to the Eastern Mediterranean was a stupid idea. Get your gun out, only if you’re going to use it. That might happen. But the point is this, Nazi Amerika has zero deplomatic depth. It’s a Nazi sect, no one can think, no one is allowed to have any ideas, and it’s the same in Nazi UK. No one in the fake news is asking Nazi Starmer any serious questions, why, because he’s just the flip side of the Nazi coin.
Despite the dire consequences, they might just want the Middle East on fire. We have NATO Turkey led by Erdogan, who’s power was twice challenged by two Israeli coup attempts. They could mobilise against Israel and the Turkish navy could attack US Nazi carrier groups. Sounds daft, but the Turkish economy has been crushed by the US. No one says these things, but it’s the truth, and Erdogan and the Turkish elites know this. The Turks know they are right behind Iran in the queue to be Nazi cluster fecked.
If Prince Lazy Boy William is Israel, then Turkey, Syria, Egypt, & Iran are all Prince Harry’s. You can’t have indepented powers dissing your image.
No matter what Nazi Israel does with Gaza, they are fecked, and it all started before 9/11.
Apparently, Mohammed bin Salman kept Blinken in the chiller for 14 hours. This is the contempt that Nazi Amerika is held in.

“We can’t meet the current recruiting requirements because nobody wants to fight.”
People are tired of dying for Israhell and evil kikes. Plus the pool of eligible men is dismal due to health risk factors among other things, plus we have produced a couple of generations of candy asses. Too busy paying homage to their electronic gods and running for the try outs for the American Idol talent show. No one’s wants to work. I see signs in shop and business windows for help wanted on a daily basis.
But I know a solution:.
Send Carl Jones to fight against those evil Nazis.
Jews live on the dole, with the White man paying, and being defamed at the same time. Once the donor is exhausted, the Jew knows he can go somewhere else and start again with the parasite behaviour. G L Rockwell wrote a poem about this cycle, which begins with “Let me in! We are persecuted!”
It appears that the USSA/ISISrael/ZOGUK ‘Axis Of All-Hat-And-NO-Cattle’ BIG Mouths has more than met its match…
wouldn’t you say? 🤔
You want white Americans to fight for an American Empire that now hates them? An oligarchy that will rig & steal elections almost solely to hurt them and the country? Go eff yourselves.
I wish I wish the people would understand geopolitics as it is our world. The ignorance to follow such events is truly amazing. The historyless of even such recent events even Putin’s and Assad family visit to China last week. Assad going home alone. I kept on saying iron dome is limited against unlimited rockets(solid fuel) to missiles (liquid fuel). I don’t get banned I get censored on local right wing sites when I try to explain the geopolitical situation to others pom pom twirling for Israel. Yes this is nothing new I realise. They are impressed by Israeli military might but when I point out the egregious figures of the US military might and they lost the insurgency war in Afghanistan I get censored. I was a hard core surfie local lad I fought for my beach against tourism. Then I went to the mountains to eradicate wild pigs with bows and arrows not like easy peasy shooting pigs in the outback. When I equate the geopolitical to what I know in real life I still get censored on right wing sites when they are all for eradicating wild pigs. Divide the divide is what I see. Thanks admin you might never know what it’s like to crawl through small tunnels in Lantana thickets with a male pig with big tusks hurtling towards you with just a knife but in a real sense you fight just the same.
You wonder how much of the above is true..
Politically Israel has lost power in the USA….since Americans are becoming VERY pissed off with all the wars the elites have got the country involved in.
WHAT was the objective of going to war in Afghanistan…..?.
Keep in mind the Iranians/Persians have a long history….theyre not a backwater which the elites normally bomb the crap out of.
However….what IS going to destroy the West is MASS ALIEN IMMIGRATION….constantly facilitated by the elites
say no to transvestites indoctrinating our school children
They should not be going into schools

The young generation have figured out, it might be ours which is about to fight.
And if the pole is correct, a significant number; not crazy about Israel… are pro-Palestine
Lerch: nice sentiments, but you won’t catch me fighting for the thicko sheeple, but I’d be very happy to launch Russias nukes.
Come to think of it, I’d fight Johnson, Blair, Bibi, Sunak, and Biden, if he was my age. Hand to hand, to the death. I’d win, cus I’m one strong fecker. lol
And if the poll is correct, a significant number are not in love with Israel.
But are pro-Palestine
Okay, this has absolutely nothing to do with this site, but I hope Rixon or his helper posts it.
I am sure most on here will know about the vehicle fire which destroyed a £20 million, 4yr old multi-story car park at Luton Airport.
We are told by the fake news this vehicle was a Land Rover. Probably the Evoque model and that it was a ‘diesel’.
I’ve watched an amusing video covering 6 key aspects with good analysis.
MY opinion, this was a Land Rover hybrid, and the fire was from the hybrid battery.
I’ve done a FOI request to Bedfordshire Fire Dept. While their report probably isn’t ready, they will know the make, model and drive train.
So why do I think this should be posted on here. Because most of us drive, we use car parks, we park in the street, we take the Channel Tunnel, we take ferries, and sometimes we leave our vehicles at specialised airport parking, where they park cars less that 2″ apart.
I’m not sure about the tunnels ability to fight an EV/hybrid fire, because a burning EV battery produces its own fuel, it doesn’t need air. I very much doubt that ferry fire systems can cope with an EV fire, especially if it spreads.
This threat can only get worse. Take E-Bikes on tour (holidays), they recharge e-bike batteries in their rooms, then we have these ‘power stations’, which are just fancy lithium power packs, and the threats will get worse.
Petrol and diesel vehicles also catch fire, but they are much easier to deal with. If a hybrid vehicle can demolish a £20m car park, it can sink a ferry. A full EV on fire is around 6 x greater than a hybrid, and God only knows about the fire risks from electric HGVs.

We
Yids are setting the stage for their upcoming war to put the final kibosh on the white man. But hey, I did my part combating this Jewish & Commie vermin.
Sounds like each ISISraeli is gonna need an Iron Kippah!😅
just reading that the British are sending troops but many do not want to fight for the jew
heres an idea round of all the criminals homosexuals socialists toerags and Carl Jones’s
and ship them all out to fight
Israhells IDF+Mossad are only able to shoot + kill
unarmed civilians ! like they already did with deception
2000 years before .
@ MR MAGOO
and with help of our traitors of WEF Young Global Leaders,
Greens + leftists + jewasslicker politicians + masonry mafia .
@MATY
You hunt like the brave stoneage people only
for food but the filthy elites hunt money + land
hiding behind wallstreet computers + their big
estates (the towers 9.11. were empty) and do
landgrabbing like B Gates + conspirations with
TR-3B DEW arsoning .
Notice truthseeker allows this Soviet Jew mole carl jones to post its nonsensical garbage.
This could be the most stupid article ever written here. Judah has the most powerful and sensitive system on earth and money was transferred from Israel to Hamas while Egypt told Israel 3 days ahead (some say 2) that Hamas would strike. Judah also has stated the end of the Dome on the Rock, has declared war of Jordan and Egypt as well as Lebanon.
Just as ISIS according to CIA that you can’t find Mossad in any source but you can find Israeli Secret Intelligence Service and photos show the star of (actually the Indus Valley which is totally different in meaning of the union of man and woman) David, a poofer bi-sexual. There is no Moses but the image is quite impressive. The structure is based upon India. Their gods are similar but follow the Greek gods which is the foundation of their beliefs and their alphabet as it is NOT semitic and never was as Phoenicians were vastly far ahead thus Judah subverted Phoenicia but Assyria only did a census. The jews believe they are god but the others believe in resurrection. In 112-111 BC the ultimate hate of the destruction of where the brethren went to their temples of Gerizim and Ebal.
The idiot blobs that have not worked for generations because of the admiralty law and the fraud of law anywhere as all people are dead in the water and the only interest of the banking and investment elites are the transactions of the straw man as you are birthed, not born.
Too bad such a quack has the space to write.
Here is an idea all those politician etc who support the LBGT abuse of kids
let them put their own kids in the front liner for the homosexuals ?
what do you think of that ?
PS a good stiff rogering might help help carl jones see some sense as well
