THE EVIL in the Middle-East .

Israeli MINISTER BIBI  Netanyahu . Holds his two maps 
of the BLESSING AND THE CURSE .
BUT Netanyahu is turning the name Israel 
into a CURSE & hurting Jews world wide .


IT's been RIGHT UNDER OUR NOSES . One of the very reasons we have had ongoing terrorism , strife and war in the Middle-East has been the State of Israel . THERE IS NO ESCAPING the FACTS . That LAST October 7th was a surprise attack by a terrorist group on Israel, now we have a greater escalation of war in the middle -east . The media WILL NOT show you the TRUTH ABOUT ISRAEL because they want you to believe they are “good” and Palestinians are “evil.”  What is going on NOW Israel has done some horrible things. Every country in the world has. They are not above criticism. Antisemitism is the hatred of a group of semitic people, not calling out the evil deeds of a government. If there is any antisemitism to be found here, it is from Netanyahu and his allies who carry a hatred for the Palestinian people, who also are Semitic.  But most anti-Israel arguments rely on the assumption that all of Israel's actions must be because of some sinister motive. Israel is never given the benefit of the doubt, being held to extreme scrutiny that we do not apply to any other nation.Claims of genocide, collective punishment, and a desire to reclaim Gaza can only be substantiated by ignoring mountains of contrary evidence in favor of an assumption that all of Israel's actions must have some sort of evil motivation behind them. This is straight-up perpetuating blood libel, as we all know the reason there's a double standard with Israel that no other country has.Honing in on this highly controversial, highly inflammatory language distracts from the tangible issues at hand and only serves to polarize us. We all want the same thing (peace). We all (for the most part) condemn the same things (targeting civilians, settler expansion in the West Bank, settler violence that isn't punished harshly enough, far-right extremist governments). But using inflammatory language to describe Israel as a whole alienates Jewish allies who know that this language radicalizes people and would prefer not to contribute to the incitement of violence against Jews worldwide. Their scheme has been laid out in the Protocols of the Elders of Zion, and their present [conduct] is the best proof of what is said there… Within the circle of the conflict with world Zionism, the Hamas regards itself the spear head and the avant-garde. It joins its efforts to all those who are active on the Palestinian scene, but more steps need to be taken by the Arab and Islamic peoples and Islamic associations through out the Arab and Islamic world in order to make possible the next round with FALSE ACCUSATIONS  against the  Jews, the merchants of war. I am just urging people to try to have productive discussions that use facts instead of feelings, and take a step back to examine why you assume that the only explanation for everything Israel does is that it is an inherently evil country with evil intentions behind every single thing they do. If Israel does not want to be seen that way then they should not act that way. Adding the Likud party to the terrorist list and throwing Netanyahu in prison for propping up Hamas as well as the countless war crimes and atrocities he is committing even as I write this would be a good place to start. Netanyahu allowed terrorists on KITES to breach his border. Israel has a very advanced military thanks to years of US welfare and they knew about the threat of Hamas attack before it happened. There is no way the October attack would have happened if Netanyahu did not allow it. Netanyahu knew the attack would give him an excuse to liquidate Gaza. And nothing is done to protect Palestinians from settler violence in the west bank either. Israel is a drain on America and doing this milking hard earned American tax dollars to clean up their messes. They have a right to DEFEND themselves not to obliterate an entire ethnic population because they failed to defend their country’s borders. As we’re going to see, while the Israeli government insists that the starvation taking place is due to a combination of Hamas’s theft of aid supplies and the international community not delivering enough aid in the first place, Philippe Lazzarini, the head of the United Nations agency that aids Palestinians, calls that “baseless misinformation” and points to the enormous logistical hurdles imposed by Israel on the delivery of that aid. Beyond that, Israeli officials actually warned that they were going to be blocking aid from entering Gaza as the war was unfolding, with Defense Minister Yoav Gallant stating on October 9, “I have ordered a complete siege on the Gaza Strip: There will be no electricity, no food, no fuel, everything is closed...We are fighting human animals, and we are acting accordingly.” And while Israel has, in recent weeks, allowed for 100 to 120 trucks to enter a day, that’s just a fraction of the estimate 500 trucks that are needed.So with starvation growing in Gaza, it appears that the Netanyahu government has adopted a strategy of using hunger to encourage the ‘voluntary’ mass relocation of the Gazan populace. Which is the kind of plan, at best, will result in the war crime of mass ethnic cleansing. But keep in mind that if it doesn’t work, the end result is still going to be the mass depopulation of Gaza in the form of dead starved Gazans. And this can only go on for so long before that physiological breaking point is reached across that population of 2 million people. We’re entering the 11th month of this war.******ESCALATING WAR ? The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) deployed a third division—the 91st Division—to southern Lebanon on October 7 for “focused and delimited” ground operations against Lebanese Hezbollah. The 91st Division joins the 36th and 98th divisions in southern Lebanon shortly after Israel announced that it would expand ground operations against Hezbollah The IDF 3rd, 8th, and 288th reserve brigades are operating under the 91st Division.The division is ordinarily responsible for the entire Israel-Lebanon border and has conducted hundreds of attacks from Israel targeting Hezbollah. Hezbollah reported that it fired upon Israeli forces around the border near Yiftah. Commercially available satellite imagery captured on October 7 similarly indicates troop movements in the area. As you all know, Israel assassinated hamas leader in Iran in Tehran. Iran was humiliated of course since it happened in the middle of the capital and shows anyone even the highest leaders can be killed, and Iran now vowed revenge, etc, etc. just a summary to explain everything. First, Biden won't telegraph exactly what Israel is telling him... any more than Netanyahu will say exactly what Israel plans to do. This is likely a negotiating tactic to try and get Israel to do what the US wants. The question is... is what the US REALLY wants is oil facilities to get targeted? With the markets pricing in higher fuel costs due to expected shortages, i.e. ripple effects into the U.S. right before an election and something that could arguably help Russia / hurt Ukraine?If I'm Biden, I want bases and intelligence hit - less fallout if you stick to military targets. If I'm Zelensky I'm begging the US to push for drone facilities to get targeted, less for Iran to produce and sell to Russia. And if I'm Netanyahu I'm not telling Biden anything because I'm praying Trump wins. Which is exactly why I think Israel is leaning towards oil facilities, and Biden is telegraphing it so Iran puts defenses there... hopefully pushing Israel to look at other targets.If Iran’s oil infrastructure is attacked, Oil prices will spike immediately. Estimates are that they could double. Remember oil prices are often based on expectations, not actual facts on the ground.In addition, Iran and Houthis could also attack GCC facilities. The GCC is clearly concerned because today they publicly stated their support for Lebanon, a ceasefire and negotiations. Also, keep an eye on the aftermath of the bombing of the Russian airbase in Syria.President Biden’s warning about a possible “all-out war” in the Middle East feels increasingly accurate given recent events. Despite pushing for a cease-fire, Israel’s attacks on Hezbollah’s communication devices, which led to multiple casualties, indicate the region is already deeply unstable​.Biden’s acknowledgment of the limits of U.S. diplomacy in this context suggests he’s aware of just how close the situation is to spiraling further. With Hezbollah-Israel tensions rising and ongoing conflicts in Gaza, Syria, and Yemen, the Middle East is arguably in a state of multi-front warfare.Do you think the administration's efforts can prevent this from escalating further, or are we witnessing the start of something much larger? Will the powder keg explode before the elections?
