Israel/Gaza: Ignore The Ugly Details. Focus on the Bigger Picture

Israeli leader Benjamin Netanyahu is a case in point here. If you think the guy responsible for one of the most aggressive ‘vaccine’ programmes in the world gives a smidgen of a damn about Jewish lives or Israeli lives then I’ve got a big canal across the Suez to sell you. If you’re still stuck in the ‘cock-up not conspiracy’ mindset, if you’re still persuaded that for all his faults ‘Bibi’ (or any other politician anywhere) is your guy, then you’re never going to progress to the next level of understanding, which is…

…that the Hamas incursion was an inside job. It is not essential to understand that Hamas was funded and created by Israeli intelligence, though obviously it helps. All you need to know is really basic stuff, stuff that everyone knows without needing to be say Defence Correspondent of the Daily Telegraph or Head of MI6 or Jerusalem bureau chief of the CIA, stuff like the fact that Israel has arguably the best intelligence services in the world, the best trained military in the world, the best technology in the world and the most closely protected borders in the world.

    If your gut reaction is too deny the article consideration then your programming is deeply embedded. I’m not sure how to debug it. It’s time to drop learned premises and look at things as they are. It doesn’t make you a “bad person”.
    Also this does NOT mean that I’m an Anti-Semite or Islamaphobe. Those are BS labels meant to divide people and make them focus on identity issues. Hamas KNEW this would happen. How could they not? So WHY would they do it? Look at Israel’s actions…

    Remember that time a murderer took over an elementary school and shot a few cops and some of the kids in the beginning of the siege? Then the cops pumped the school full of gas and tossed some flash bangs in but everyone was cool with it because the guy killed kids and cops and was using the kids as human shields.

    Neither do I.

    As an Ashkenazi Jew (Grandparents descendent from Latvia after the Bolshevik revolution. Think: Fiddler On The Roof) I have heard the stories all my life. As I grew up, I kept hearing other (negative) aspects of the Jewish faith and wondered what all the fuss is about.
    Well, much to my disconcertion, there is a dark aspect of Judaism. That is, who are are real descendants? There are the Oriental Jews, who look like any other Arab or "middle easterner", and are most likely of the original tribes. Then there are the European Jews, converts, mostly descendants of Kazakhstans, as my family was.
    Oriental Jews typically don't consider themselves Zionists or followers of the Talmud. These are European Jewish contrivements.
    For centuries the Oriental Jews lived in peace with the Bedouins, the Arab Muslims and the Coptic Christians. It was only after the Balfour Declaration (1917) that European Jews started migrating into the area. After 1948 when the UN made Israel an official country, European Jews flooded into the area, upsetting what was then a natural balance of very small and scattered settlements going back a millennia or more.
    My personal assessment is that the Oriental Jews and Coptic Christians were treated pretty much second class citizens in every way the mattered. When the European Jews came in, they had the political and financial leverage as well as the will and backbone to change the tide.
    Hence where we are today. The Bedouins never liked or wanted outsiders (European Jews) in the mix, they like things the way they were. (Oriental Jews and Coptic Christians as second class citizens) and they have been at loggerheads ever since.
    I don't want to speculate as to how all this plays out, but my Spidy-Sense™ tells me, there will be bloodshed. And lots of it.

      It's my understanding that from a Muslim's point of view all non-Muslims are second class people only allowed to live to pay a tax to Muslims or as slaves. Therefore, Jew, Christian, Hindu, and any other non-Muslim is second class.

      Re: SpidySense and bloodshed, agreed. There a Bible story, and it is a story, about Abraham, kicking out Hagar and Ishmael, because his wife Sarah finally got pregnant. The phrase in that story that predicts the future is "and the descendants of Ishmael will be forever at the hand of man." Seems like the human beings who wrote that story knew something about what was going on. But that makes it convenient to blame the Jews I guess. If only Abraham was nice to all his children instead of trying to kill one of them, then Jews and Muslims would be sharing Cokes? It's just a story, but it depicts the situation of Muslims being at odds not merely with Jews but with the whole world. There is only one sura in the Koran that I need to remember. "If a Muslim lies to another Muslim he goes to Hell. But if I Muslim lies to a non-Muslim he may still go to Heaven." If that's in the book, we're going to have some trust issues. Logically speaking! Muslims have scriptural permission to lie to non-Muslims.

    Gotta say I'm incredibly skeptical of this. It's a matter of history that Israel has been attacked by Islam since 1948 on - long before Netanyahu ever became a politician. And I'm sorry but as someone who has had a personal conversation with an ex-PLO propagandist, I'm going to cry nonsense that Hamas is a creation of Israeli intelligence. To what end?

    "Israel has arguably the best intelligence services in the world, the best trained military in the world, the best technology in the world and the most closely protected borders in the world."

    And why? Because their very existence has been challenged for 80 years. Non-stop. Rockets into Gaza didn't happen just because Netanyahu became PM. Suicide bombers and terrorists haven't been anti-Semitic as a result of CIA interference. This is a religious conflict - not a political one.

      Weird Obama flew billions in cash to Iran and BUYdem sent 7 billion to Iran.a week before the attack, But we aren't funding them. They have been successful in convincing you Its a religous thing, not a $ laundering, distraction to the criminality permeating our govt anf judicial system.
      ignore stuff like the fact that Israel has arguably the best intelligence services in the world, the best trained military in the world, the best technology in the world and the most closely protected borders in the world but paragliders could thwart those secure borders.
      ignore that the Mossad chief said we had an intelligence failure and BiBi agreed and said "after the war we need to look into it"
      Remember Colleen Rowley who alerted the DC FBLie about Zacarias Moussaoui pre 911.

        No debate that the Democrats are engaging in money laundering. They take advantage of any conflict - and frequently gin them up - to skim in the process. But the heart of the Middle East conflict is religious, i.e. a fundamental difference in the way these two peoples see the world. Americans are an outlier where the secular takes precedence over the religious: most of the rest of the world is the other way around and it is sometimes difficult for us to understand that for them, ideology comes before money. I've talked with people on both sides of this conflict and it is very real and very religious. I'm just not seeing this as being a false flag operation or psyop given the greater conflict been going on for hundreds of years.

        What does it gain the Israelis to sacrifice 2% of their population (very common in these wars) and 40% of their tax revenues to engage in war with their neighbors - let alone instigate it? That's the question one has to answer.

          Your comment has many truths to it.
          One place we digress is the leaders.
          Your assumption is that the leader’s actually want to benefit the people. In Israel’s leadership they forced the entire population to be jabbed. That is genocide so FuQ them. Most of the worlds leaders are puppets for the WEF not their citizens. Look no further than USA.

            One bad decision doesn't predetermine a second, however. Yes, Israel undermined itself by jumping on the UN bandwagon in favor of COVID jabs. But to say that their leaders don't care about the population and want to go to war is beyond the pale and cynical beyond all rationalism.

              From Brian Cates. I had almost completely forgotten that Henry Kissinger and the CFR even existed for the four years that Donald Trump was in the White House.

              Because it became exceedingly clear very early on in Trump’s first presidential term that he didn’t respect nor listen to any of these people. It was one of the biggest reasons the Fake News Media so relentlessly attacked him as a clueless rube.

              He wasn’t listening to any of the ‘right people’ as he crafted the US foreign policy around the globe. And we were all endlessly told that this made Trump ‘dangerous’.

              Well Trump was dangerous because he had figured out the Forever Wars Machine long before any of the rest of us had. He knew these people, had studied them extensively and researched them while he was hobnobbing and partying with all the politicians and celebrities they own and control.

              He wasn’t fooled by any of them.

              And this scared them all down to the marrow of their bones.

              If he saw them all as they truly were, through the clever disguise they’ve maintained for so long?
              Then he could expose them all.
              And he did.
              The faces may change every few years, but the horrible rotten terrible no good warmongering advice given by the CFR to world leaders never does.

              Nobody knew better than Donald J. Trump did that listening to these supposedly top shelf foreign policy advisors and their arrogantly confident pontifications had led this nation’s leaders into - in no particular order:

              1.Funding and egging on both sides in the intractable Israeli/Palestinian crisis for the past several decades,
              2.Surreptitiously backing both sides during the Iran/Iraq war in the 1980’s,
              3.The 9/11 attack and its bungled aftermath,
              4.Two Forever Wars in Iraq and Afghanistan based first on 9/11 and then on deliberate deceptions about Saddam Hussein’s WMD’s,
              5.An ‘Arab Spring’ that descended into a bloody monstrous nightmare in Libya and Egypt and Iran,
              6.Getting involved in an absolute genocidal quagmire in Syria that dragged on for years,
              7.A CIA-backed coup in Ukraine in 2014 as the culmination of a reckless and ruthless expansion of NATO right to Russia’s doorstep, which led directly to this currently ongoing Russian/Ukrainian conflict, and now
              8.The blowing up of a new round of terror attacks by Hamas and retaliations by Israel as the usual suspects continue to send money & arms to both sides.

              In the modern history of the United States, there has only been one single time I’m aware of where someone outside of this nefarious foreign policy establishment managed to get themselves elected President who was a true and genuine outsider who did not surround himself with the usual foreign policy establishment faces nor did he listen to the reams of “very helpful advice” that he had thrown at him by these same dishonest people

                Trump's foreign policy was effective: no new wars and no flare-ups of existing wars. In particular, the Abraham Accords were a major foreign policy win that got far less attention than they should have. I have no issues with Trump's foreign policy and seriously doubt that Russia would have militarily attacked Ukraine or that Iran would have billions of dollars to fund terrorism had he remained in office. The world was a much better place with Trump as President, no doubt.

                That being said, none of this points to the war between the so-called Palestinians and the Israelis as being manufactured. As I've stated before, I've talked to people who had personal experience on both sides and the animus is systematic. BLM is a complete joke because it is based on the premise that everyone here in America hate blacks despite the fact that we have black athletes on top of everything. We had a "black" President of the United States and a black Supreme Court Justice. There is no systemic racism here in the United States.

                The Middle East is another story entirely - one which if you've never met the people (like I have) you can't understand the context of life and the pervasive cultures of xenophobia and hate which persist. There's no love lost between the Greeks and the Turks and their last war was hundreds of years ago, yet if you talk to an older Greek, they'll spit on the ground and curse the Turks even though they've likely never met one. (Fortunately the younger generations have been too jaded by socialism to care about ethnic wars any longer - unless you're a Cypriot.)

                It's the same type of mentality for the followers of Islam. They just are taught to hate everyone else and hide it under a veneer of tolerance.

              That’s your opinion that it is beyond the pale.and cynical beyond rationalism . Particularly , When we have a leadership and congress that does not care about the population and wants to go to http://war.in our own country. Maybe Israel is better than the current US. I just plant the seed. ,truth will water it.

      What did Israel reportedly know about the attack? Israeli officials obtained a document describing Hamas' battle plan for its October 7 terror attack more than a year before the militant group carried out the assault, the New York Times reported Thursday, citing documents, emails and interviews.

        Here's the latest: https://townhall.com/tipsheet/mattves...

        Yes, Israel knew about - or had advanced warning - regarding the attack. But they didn't believe that Hamas could pull anything off that required this level of coordination. Yes, Israel has egg on their face, but this doesn't rise to the level of intent or conspiracy on Israel's part. If anything, however, one must wonder how the heretofore uncoordinated attacks of Hamas coalesced into something that can only be described as a military operation...

          Ok so Bibi supported Hamas for many years even providing a reported $1billion in 2018.
          Israeli blackhawks reportedly killed over 200 Israelis in friendly fire at the concert. They are ordered to accept this if a terrorist can be shot.

          There is documentation that Israeli intelligence analysts knew Hamas had increased its training and capabilities but were rebuffed by the upper crust, citing the terror group’s lack of execution. It’s unknown if Benjamin Netanyahu ever saw this 40-page document, but it details everything, including Israel knowing that Hamas commandos were training on how to assault army bases and kibbutzim. They estimated that at least 60 portions of the Gaza fence would be stormed by terrorists, preceded by a massive rocket barrage. In all, it’s a damning report In proportion to population, Israel's October 7 attacks would be the equivalent of losing almost 40,000 Americans on the day the Twin Towers fell.

          The document that outlined the growing Hamas threat codenamed “Jericho Wall,” details how Israeli intelligence analysts knew the terror group was planning something big for over a year. They didn't know the attack would occur on October 7, but something massive was in the works.

          Why doesn’t it rise to the level of intent or conspiracy? Both sides are controlled by Evil.
          And if you can Please explain the 7 hrs delayed response. Just more incompetence?

            I'm not going to try to explain. I don't know enough. I'm just saying that I don't buy the notion of a conspiracy on the part of the Israelis to kill their own people.

            I'm not contesting the fact that Israel screwed up or the severity of the loss of life. But there is a difference between a judgement call gone wrong and intentional sabotage of one's own country. I think that speculation of that type should have irrefutable evidence before it ever gets asserted because of the level of seriousness involved. And I don't think anything presented even comes close. The ones I have known have a loyalty to country which would rival Patrick Henry.

              I am certain the friends or associates you speak of are fine individuals, were they in charge of anything related to the attack ? Certainly not evidence.
              Even if I am wrong , an event like this should be put under a microscope. Thousands of families are being destroyed or wounded. Think about it, you say a “judgement call”. These people are tasked with protecting their citizens lives , is there another duty that is more important? So your major enemy it is reported are planning an attack. You would under oath be derelict in your duties not to at least defend against it. What cost would that be , to say “hey border security troops ,we need to plan how to defend against this possible event.” But that’s not what happened. Why? Then when you add to it that border guards were reporting strange activity. That reporting was discouraged to say the least according to those trying to warn the higher ups. Ever heard fo Colleen Rowley . Look her up.

                  I don’t have to bring you proof and clearly you are convinced it was all just bad judgement. You choose to think Goverments act in the people’s best interests all while we see that is the big lie.
                  I must say you choose to ignore much of what I would say is common sense like the death and destruction of thousands of lives that deserves to be thoroughly investigated for the security failure at the minimum.
                  That Israeli officials knew in advance of this planned attack is evidence. Why it still happened is the Question you won’t ask.

                    You're the one making the accusations, therefore the burden of proof does fall with you.

                    "You choose to think Goverments act in the people’s best interests all while we see that is the big lie."

                    People act in their own best interests. But people are also fallible. And sometimes ideological. You're choosing to paint this as an ideological decision which clearly crosses over into the realm of treason. That's a serious charge and it requires similarly serious and substantial evidence.

                    "That Israeli officials knew in advance of this planned attack is evidence."

                    That's false. They knew of plans for an attack, but did not have a date. And based on their familiarity with the various factions someone made a judgement call deeming the level of coordination required above the capabilities of the organization. That was evidence of mistaken judgement, but is a far cry from treason. And yet you continue to push the accusations of treason. Worse, you attempt to smear me by impugning my character when I disagree with you. -1

                    Yours is the opportunity to present real facts that this was a treasonous event as opposed to a tragic lapse of judgement. But that is the bar which is required to win me to your side. And that's all I'm going to say further.

                      It’s common knowledge now that Israel helped create Hamas in 1987. Israel has possibly the best, most advanced intelligence agency on the planet. The areas around Gaza are heavily monitored and surveilled. It has been reported that the Israeli Military was on “stand down” for the first 6-7 hours of the attacks. Let’s also not forget that Egypt claims they warned Israel of a potential Hamas attack several days before the attack occurred.

                      Knowing this, I simply can’t understand how anyone can accept the situation as it has been “sold” to us.
                      there are only two options to choose: either Israel knew the attacks were coming and chose to do nothing about it, or their military is the most inept military in the history of militaries. You choose. In either case, why would the US send them more money?

                      Apparently the stock traders took the info seriously.
                      Traders Informed of Hamas Attack Profited Millions by Short-Selling Israeli Stocks, Study Suggests
                      Two New York law professors say they identified a 'sharp and unusual' spike in short transactions prior to the Oct. 7 attack.
                      The Israeli government is investigating claims by U.S. researchers that some stock traders may have had prior knowledge of the Oct. 7 Hamas attack on Israel and used that information to make millions of dollars by short-selling Israeli companies.

    So... it is hard to find proof because it is not available due to the machinations of the "Fill in the blank: ists.
    But if we ignore the details we can catch the big picture. Huh?
    Trouble is the "Big" picture is only in the imaginative conclusion of his mind. After all since we can't prove true or false we can say it's true and no one can prove otherwise.

    Unprovable specious Premise - since Mossad is the greatest intelligence service they could not have been caught unaware. Therefore they must have known and are complicit in engineering this Hamas atrocity. What? One does not follow the other. Crap logic. One could also conclude that Hamas secretly runs Israel.
    By that premise we can also include the CIA FBI KGB and every single intelligence service in the world and the Aliens. Every agency worth its salt could not have been caught unaware so they must be complicit.

    My head is spinning from the self serving illogical reasoning. Maybe they really were caught unaware as they say and no further insanity needs to be followed.

      Are they all shills, working for Hamas’s famously well-funded and powerful propaganda division? Or is it more likely, perhaps, that they’re just ordinary folk waking up to the shocking reality that their own government must have allowed this operation in cahoots with Hamas because there’s no way it could have happened otherwise?

      If it’s the latter - as Occam’s Razor surely tells us it must be - then a range of possibilities opens up. One is that having stood down its defences for a few crucial hours, the Netanyahu regime allowed a thousand or so terrorists to let rip, unimpeded rounding up and torturing and killing innocent Israelis, be they pensioners on bus trips or pilled up kids at a trance rave. This, if that’s what happened, would be despicable: the Israeli state colluding in the murder of its own citizens. Another possibility is that some of the atrocity stories being related in the media are in fact based on fabricated incidents, that the number of deaths attributed to Hamas (as opposed to a shoot-first-asked-questions-later IDF) have been inflated and the circumstances misrepresented. This, in its way, would be equally despicable: the Israeli state making shit up in order to justify unleashing hell on the Palestinians.

      Either way - and I suspect it’s a mixture of both - the whole business stinks. Let me stress before I go on that I’m not doubting that large numbers of innocent people, both Israeli and Palestinian, have suffered horribly as a result of this cruel and needless bloodshed. I feel for ALL of them, and their families, whether they were killed, wounded, kidnapped, traumatised or deprived of their homes. So, if I use words like ‘psyop’, I’m certainly not belittling the reality of the victims’ suffering. What I’m questioning, rather, is the veracity of the narrative currently being presented to us in - or, more accurately, rammed down our throats by - the mainstream media.

      Consider, for example, the current noisome trend in both the MSM and on social media for what you might call ‘atrocity porn.’ Here is a picture of a mangled baby, with some of the bits blurred (for reader sensitivity, supposedly), together with a prurient message warning readers that this is the most graphic image the newspaper has reluctantly but necessarily chosen to publish. And there is a YouTube video titled Unbelievable Interview: Israeli Volunteer Collects Body Parts from Music Festival.

      This is NOT normal. Imagine if, every time there were a war or a natural disaster or any other incident involving violent death, the media felt pathologically compelled to rub your nose in every last graphic detail. It doesn’t generally do so for reasons including taste, propriety, sensitivity and the well understood principle that some things are better left unseen. So the fact that the media is now breaching all these basic rules ought to tell you about the trick being played here. Someone, somewhere, has decided to pull out all the stops here; to bludgeon your senses and your emotions as almost never before; to direct you, in case you were in any doubt, to understanding that this is the most hideous injustice you ever witnessed - and one that cries out for the bloodiest of retribution

    Interesting how the money, Our Money, flows so freely in times of wars. International military aide should be loans that must be repaid but instead we just toss our money away on wars that have no ends. Politicians in every country love wars and they all line up outside the banks with wheelbarrows. Change my mind!

      The Banksters fund both sides of all conflicts all created by them. Debt. The Banksters will do the lending. Israel needs 14 billion to get the babies buried and tech to defend against the para. Gliders. Plus a reward for being the Most vaxed country on the the. Planet. The interest on 33+ trillion, well , without unlimited fiat currency…insolvency . You can see the drive to The great reset.
      This 5 part series will open eyes to the debt slavery we have suffered from since independence.
      Brief topics outlined wit all references sourced.:

      To begin, let’s briefly recall some significant historical events that we’ve outlined so far in this series:

      William the Conqueror and the 1066 Battle of Hastings,
      King Charles I, the English Civil War and his eventual beheading in 1649,
      King Charles II, his wars and whores, and the Great Default of 1676,
      William of Orange and the Glorious Revolution of 1688,
      The formation of the Bank of England in 1694,
      The establishment of the American Colonies,
      The American Revolution,
      The Bank of North America in 1781,
      The First Bank of the United States in 1791,
      The Second Bank of the United States in 1816,
      The panic of 1837,
      The American Civil War, and
      The Treaty of Washington 1871.
      In terms of shaping the society we live in today, these are possibly the most significant events in pre-modern Anglo-Saxon history. The most fascinating characteristic of this 800-year timeline is the common thread that interweaves these events together. That common thread, is the City of London

    Been gone all day due to a medical problem. Read some of this before I left and have been thinking about it in a waiting room and so forth.
    Did some research on Netanyahu and the Covid vaccine when I got back after I took my usual old man's afternoon nap to clear my head.
    Learned he took the first Pfizer shot (yahoo for yahu) yet what followed was some controversy about it that I failed to get a handle on.
    Didi find an article where he claimed he was not making anyone take the jab but I don't really know what to think abiut whatever the hell happened over there.
    https://www.timesofisrael.com/netanya...
    Not knowing what to think includes the accusation that Netanyahu made some kind of deal to pull an inside job with Hamas who his armed forces are killing right now. Like . . . huh?
    Is he rigging a war to look good to Israeli voters? I find it hard to imagine. Yeah, even though I bet that has happened before at some place or another.
    And maybe Net doesn't care about his people. Me dunno.
    I'm wondering if like Trump's Operation Light-speed he got just as suckered by Big Pharma, who pumped a dangerous product.
    Last I heard Trump is still in denial about that. The greatest president of my lifetime is yet an imperfect human being, also especially about who he appoints. The Kraken was a guppy and so was Barr.
    I'll keep my mind open but admittedly I'm having trouble with someone who may be a Yahoo rigging a war that may lead to World War III.
    Signing off to give CVS a call. The antibiotics that the doctor said would be ready and waiting weren't because a computer was down around 3PM. I could lose a foot but what the hell?

        Appreciated. I have an ulcerated hole on the right side of my left foot that could get into bone with a nasty result.
        Six years ago I had an ulcerated hole on the bottom of my big toe on the same foot. I could actually see a tiny display of white bone with a hand mirror. The toe was saved. Today I could not see any bone.
        I've been told to stay off my feet right when I was to start Christmas shopping early like I did last year.

    I am not reall interested in the nature of the Hamas/Israeli conflict. It has little to do with the USA, and we should just stay out of it. If Israel wants to fight Hamas or Iran, let them.

    Imagine waking up one day determined to act out the murder plot, the ruse. the story or the History you just finished reading the night before.

    That is what these creatures do.

    Psychopaths are highly compartmentalized and detail driven. In other words, the only one's that could pull this off. The outside world, the conscience and awareness are no distraction because they do not exist in the heads of these demons.

    But, if you ever wanted to enlist a psychopath's abilities, make sure they have no hubris; as for the rest of us . . . Squinting at The Big Picture is the way to go for one must beware of when and to what, we must squint at.

    Thanks, my Quantum Brother, I can no longer question my use of certain memes in this weeks publication. I did hesitate several times but ultimately, my "Squint" bore fruit.
