Here We Go Again: NO! Israel Has No Right to the West Bank nor to Damascus
The capture of Aqaba was great entertainment.
Plant a thought and reap a word;
plant a word and reap an action;
plant an action and reap a habit;
plant a habit and reap a character;
plant a character and reap a destiny.
Formerly attributed to Laozi or Lao Tsu…now debunked.
I began writing a substack yesterday because I saw this article from Barron’s: “Israel Minister Promises Annexation In West Bank In 2025.” I became sidetracked with another perspective on the ongoing 2023-2024 Gaza Genocide and produced a different write-up than intended. The AFP - Agence France Presse wrote the article reprinted at Barron’s:
Israel's Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich pledged on Monday to annex Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank in 2025, calling Donald Trump's return to power in the United States "an important opportunity".
"The year 2025 will be, with God's help, the year of sovereignty in Judea and Samaria," the far-right minister said, using the biblical name for the West Bank.
Israel has occupied the West Bank since 1967. Palestinians claim the territory as part of a future independent state, and have repeatedly warned that Israeli settlements there are an obstacle to peace.
Smotrich, whose ministerial portfolio also includes some areas of the defence ministry's work, said he had ordered preparations for "applying sovereignty" over Israeli settlements.
Zerohedge has followed up today with this article “West Bank Annexation 'Of Course' A Possibility, Says Trump's Israel Envoy Pick Huckabee.”
I’m going to say only one word.
Ok. I’m saying more than one word.
The Zerohedge article writes:
Interestingly and controversially, some Israeli officials have hinted at Tel Aviv’s potential pursuit of a 'Greater Israel' project - something which has been talked about openly since the 1980s. American neocon policy officials have also talked about this possibility since the 1990s.
Oh…yes. Netanyahoo.
The Last American Vagabond has an excellent analysis on this “blessing.”
Netanyahu and his neocon (see: uniparty) supporters in America and Britain appear to be supportive of Israel’s ambition to provoke a vast regional war on one hand, while also believing that perhaps they will be able to use Israel as a wedge to disrupt Russian and Chinese-led development corridors (BRI, short for Belt and Road Initiative, and International North-South Transport Corridor) on the other hand.
…The role Israel is expected to play in an anti-BRI agenda is meant to take the form of three major projects within this ivory tower fantasy game of imperial Rand-style scenario builders.
These are:
1) The US-led India-Middle East Europe Economic Corridor (IMEEC) announced at the G20 on October 15, 2023, which envisions a vast network of rail and roads stretching from India through the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Israel, and Europe. This proposed vast network of railways, pipelines, shipping corridors, ports, and data cables would bypass Turkey and undermine China’s Middle and planned southern BRI corridors.
2) The revival of the David Ben Gurion Canal, which was first proposed by American engineers in 1963. This plan called for using 520 nuclear detonations to cut a nearly 260 km canal from the Red Sea to the Mediterranean, bypassing the strategically valuable Suez Canal.
3) The exploitation of vast offshore oil and natural gas deposits that have been discovered off the coast of Gaza.
Israel’s 2023-2024 Gaza Genocide serves toward the accomplishment of Goal 3.
The recent pronouncements by Israeli officials on annexation of the West Bank plus Israel’s ongoing invasion into Lebanon and air strikes within Syria coupled with the Ascension of Trump are the fulfillment of “provoking a regional war.”
The only saving grace may be that Iran’s capability to thwart Israel’s recent attempted retaliation for Iran’s missile strike in Israel was aborted, according to some sources such as both Col. Wilkerson and Alistair Crook, by Iran’s greater electronic defenses which many surmise come from Russia. Israel’s jets delivered their first payloads but were locked and tracked by Iranian defensive radar. They aborted the next two planned phases.
Make no mistake: the U.S.’ deliberate disruption of the Middle East by invading Iraq thereby instigating conflicts throughout the region; pitting tribe against tribe (payoffs and financial incentives); and creating false divisions among Arabs is simply a mirror of their strategy in the West where factions within Western nations are pitted against each other. Divide and conquer. The Middle East has been divided by tribes; thus, the strategy there has been to divide tribes against each other.
I note one hopeful event in that Saudi Arabia has recently visited Iran. Moreover, Prince Salman just called the action in Gaza a genocide. From Middle East Eye:
Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman on Monday denounced Israel's war on Gaza as a "genocide" in the first such declaration by the kingdom's prime minister and de facto ruler.
At a joint summit by the Arab League and the Organisation of Islamic Conference held in Riyadh, the prince and other Arab leaders doubled down on their criticism of Israel's assaults on Gaza and Lebanon, calling for an immediate ceasefire.
"This summit is held as an extension to the previous summit in light of the continued heinous Israeli aggressions against our brotherly Palestinian people and the extension of aggressions on the brotherly Republic of Lebanon," he said in his keynote speech.
"The kingdom reiterates its denounciation of the genocide perpetrated by Israel against the brotherly Palestinian people, which resulted in more than 150,000 martyrs, wounded and missing, the majority of whom are women and children."
Israel is an existential threat to the Middle East representing Western forces who are the flag bearers for the New World Order aka The Great Reset aka Mr. Global. I would like to see the Arabic countries unite and provide an unparalleled resistance. Like the Battle of Aqaba, Arabs fighting for Arabs—but without a Western sidekick—without the usurpation of control and dominion by Great Britain aka Rothschilds ilk.
The plans were long ago established: they are now being executed. Let’s not deceive ourselves. The true import of Israel’s grand pronouncements to annex the West Bank and take Damascus and southern Lebanon involve simply fulfilling the Neocon/Rothschild plans for the world.
There’s nothing like a David Lean movie with vast vistas to inspire hope.
Excellent post! I think IMEEC is a dead letter. The king of Saudi Arabia has indicated that there will be no normalization of relations with Israel unless Israel accepts a Palestinian state within the 1948 borders. Israel will never accept this condition. Without Saudi Arabia (BOOM!) there goes the Middle Eastern portion of IMEEK. Israeli plans to exploit oil deposits discovered off the coast of Gaza is also a pipe dream. Any attempt to exploit such oil deposits will incur the wrath of hezbollah. It will will be subject to multiple drone and rocket attack not only by Hezbollah, but possibly Iran.
Nemesis is about to pay a visit to Israel. They will never be able to defeat Iran, the Houthi movement and Hamas at the same time even with the help of the United States. The United States has not won a war since WWII. They would have never prevailed in WWII without the Soviet Union. The loser generals in the US military could not even defeat some Islamic hillbillies in Afghanistan. Look at Iraq. Look at Libya. Look at Syria. The US military has a reverse Midas touch. Everything it touches turns to shit. I cannot understand why the US military is so venerated by the American people. With this record of one military failure after another (and I did not even mention Viet Nam or Korea) there is no way the United States in conjunction with Israel will be able to defeat a sophisticated regional power like Iran. The only thing the Israeli military is good at is bombing and killing innocent men, women, and children. Look what is happening to the IDF in Lebanon when confronted by a well trained, battle hardened, highly motivated, military force like Hezbollah. They are getting their ass handed to them.
The hubris of the Zionist is unbelievable. A nation of only 7 million people actually thinks it can subjugate the entire Islamic and Arab population in the Middle East. Hopefully, nemesis will consign Israel to the dust bin of history. I say good riddance to bad rubbish.
