Moon of Alabama – Feb 5, 2024
The Biden administration is trying everything to better the situation for the Israeli government except by withdrawing its financial and munition support which are the only two measures that could bring Israel to its senses.
There are now several small wars in the Middle East which may soon accumulate into a big one. Israel is fighting Hamas and the Islamic Jihad in Gaza. It is fighting a silent resistance in the West Bank. On its northern borders it is involved in daily clashes with Hizbullah and various Palestinian resistance groups.
Israel is also bombing Syria and killing Iranian envoys to that country. Iraqi and Syrian resistance groups are attacking U.S. bases in Syria and Iraq. The U.S. is bombing these groups for more or less therapeutic purposes while trying to not hurt them too much. In the Red Sea the Ansarullah government of Yemen is blocking sea traffic related to Israel, the U.S. and UK. The U.S. and UK are bombing Ansarullah positions even as they know that no amount of bombing will change its position.
People in other Arab countries, while seemingly calm, are enraged over Israel’s genocidal behavior in Gaza. Their leaders try to keep their distances from the wars but at some point may well be forced to take sides in it.
Meanwhile the U.S., the alleged superpower, is hapless and helplessly trying to achieve results that are way beyond its abilities.
See for one example the last attempt by a U.S. envoy to prevent a further escalation with Lebanon:
US presents new blueprint to push Hezbollah away from Israeli border – Ynetnews, Feb 4 2024
U.S. President Joe Biden’s Middle East envoy Amos Hochstein outlined the key elements of a political settlement to deescalate tensions between Israel and Hezbollah during his visit to the Jewish state on Sunday.
The plan consists of two phases: In the first, Hezbollah would cease hostilities actions along the border with Israel and will retreat between eight to ten kilometers north from the border.
Israeli residents will return to their homes, and a significant deployment of the Lebanese army and UNIFIL peacekeeping forces will maintain stability in southern Lebanon and along the border.
In the second phase, Israel and Lebanon will begin negotiations to demarcate the land border, including discussions on 13 points on disputes along their shared boundaries. Simultaneously, the U.S. and the international community will explore offering “economic incentives” to Lebanon.
Hochstein received the green light from the Lebanese government for his proposal, though it remains unclear whether Hezbollah agrees with the arrangement.
The envoy, who recently met with President Isaac Herzog, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Defense Minister Yoav Gallant and Minister Benny Gantz urged Israel to give his plan a chance.
Nice plan. But what can you do to implement it?
How in hell will the U.S. be able to make Hezbollah to cease hostilities actions along the border with Israel and to retreat between eight to ten kilometers from the border?
Hizbullah fighters at the border are living in the border towns. They were born there. They want to die there. How the f*** does the U.S. think they can be pushed out? And why would Hizbullah agree to a ceasefire when the murdering of Palestinians in Gaza continues to be the major project of Israel?
The U.S. has no means, none, to press Hizbullah into a ceasefire or to push it to retreat from the border line.
The Lebanese government supports that move? Sure, verbally, as long as you cough up some money. But Hizbullah is part of that government. It is also the superior military power in Lebanon. Neither the Lebanese army nor the U.N. forces have the ability to fight it.
Step one is thereby meaningless. Step two, a promise for negotiations between Israel and Lebanon, makes likewise no sense as Israel is notoriously unwilling to make any concessions.
If baseless fantasies like the above are all the U.S. can come up with it is truly at the end of its abilities.
A chance of a war between Israel and Hizbullah in Lebanon is increasing daily. While there are already daily clashes these are limited by certain red lines and targets. Both sides still avoid to cross those.
But Israel’s government needs a victory. Its war aims in Gaza are clearly not achievable. Losses are mounting. Its population, especially the settlers from the north who had to flee their homes, are unruly.
Alastair Crooke thinks (vid) that Israel will start a full out war with Hizbullah simply because the Israeli government needs a victory. He thinks that Netanyahoo still thinks he can achieve one. Others though have their doubts. Hizbullah today is far better equipped and trained than it had been during the 2006 war with Israel. That war ended in a draw or, as some see it, with a defeat of Israel. I know of no expert in that area who thinks that Israel today would fare any better than that.
I’d say let them try. The may well learn from it.
But why the Biden administration even thinks that it can stop such a clash by presenting plans it has no means to press for is beyond me.
“U.S. President Joe Biden’s Middle East envoy Amos Hochstein….”
Nice to see that the US M.E. Envoy is someone totally impartial for a change like ‘Amos Hochstein’ here – who sounds like he might be dual-citizen Irish😂 – with absolutely NO dog in this fight…
And then the Yanks wonder why their kosher-certified “diplomacy” is treated with derision buy the A-rabs!
LMFAO!!! 🤣
since israhell has not enough manpower for a
2-3 front war they will use mininuke like they
already did 2 times in Beirut .
Lebanon should get supersound missile nukes
from somewhere I dont know .
“Which are the only two measures that could bring Israel to its senses”.
Really. Has the MoA writing team considered the possibility that if Nazi Amerika abandoned Nazi Israel, then Israel could start using nukes, assuming they have them?
I am sure many, including the US, are watching Israel very closely, and any sign of using nukes, one of the many will nuke Israel, and I include the US.
Eventually in Dwapara all combatants will be forced to sit down at the table of peace, as both sides will come to the conclusion wars don’t actually work for the majority of the human population. Relatively few tend to go home after wars have been fought with the spoils of war. Those who take the spoils of war then proceed to rule over the vast majority of the world’s population, principally by creating divisions among us. All the conflict induced by the divisions weaken us tremendously, but the few beneficiaries of war are strengthened by them.
Human beings need a spiritual awakening in Dwapara to prevent these divisions.
my freinds dad was head of the escape committee at colditz
he told us the germans would play chess drafts etc with them and even scrounged musical instruments to forma band
the germans would swap cap badges etc with the men
He said as the british were bombing all the food trains all german people were starving
so the men would share their red cross food parcels with them
one man ( i forget his name )wrote to Himmler complaining of the cold and asking for extra blankets
Himmler wrote back and apologising said look there is a war on you know
we do our best where we can
as british prime minister Macmillan said ” there is too much propaganda about the war to ever get to the real truth, he said the jewish holocust was ” just hot air”
please please get rid of that carl jones
Israel listens to no one. It is the tail wagging the US dog. This attitude was recognised even a century ago. The following was written by an astute Russian leader immigrant to US when the Bolsheviks forcefully took over the Russian government.
The following description is from https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/49110675
This Russian Count, also a devout Christian had a very good handle onto the ills of today caused worldwide by the international banking system (the Khazarian Mafia – Gog) and the negative effects of their most staunch supporters, the Christian Zionists.
Free PDF downloads of his books may be found by doing an Internet search on his name.
The following is from the first chapter in his book, The Secret World Government or “The Hidden Hand”, The Unrevealed in History, 100 Historical “Mysteries” Explained, 1926.
Page 2: A WAR IS BUT A “LEGALIZED MASS-MURDER.”
That seems to describe the current situation especially with the Palestinian victims and with the Christian Zionists siding with the antagonists, does it not? And, does this next paragraph describe the current political situation with France? The importation of “Mongrols” is to depopulate the “Aryans”?
Now, he touches on the source of the problem:
In the next page chapter, he gives an excellent explanation on the faulty reasonings of the Christian Zionists as being why nothing is done today to address the wickedness in progress. He was present in the US during the time of the rise of Christian Zionism in the US being propagated by the false teachings of Cyrus Schofield through his commentaries in certain Oxford Press King James Bibles.
Perhaps this is why that much of Christianity stands by waving Zionist flags while the Palestinians are being murdered and maimed, or are in silence or being silenced by Zionist pastors such as John Hagee, Zionist antagonisers, and especially their KM handlers (ADL).
Today, there are very few statesmen on-board worldwide. Fortunately, South Africa has a stateswoman who stood up and filed a case against Israel with the International Court of Justice. Otherwise, we have only politicians who do little to represent what is best for the people, interested only in their own. And no one on Biden’s team, nor any of the other western nations have a statesman.
The stranger that sojourneth with you shall be unto you as the home-born among you, and thou shalt love him as thyself; for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt: I am HaShem your G-d. Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment, in meteyard, in weight, or in measure. Leviticus 19:34-35 (Jewish Publication Society)
