“BLOODY RECIPROCITY”

When international law is not respected and impunity is the rule for some, the Talion law prevails

 

By Charles H. Slim

Some fifty years ago, Europe had become the scene of violent street crimes and others not so public that they remained a mystery to public opinion and even to local authorities. It was a clandestine struggle that took place in a particular geopolitical context. Thus sticky bombs in a car or in an apartment, executions with silenced pistols, or point-blank killings on a street in broad daylight became a common way of settling issues between Tel Aviv and the PLO.

For years, the Mossad had been able to carry out this type of action, relying on the state structure provided by Israel and the complicities that it wove with the governments of Western countries (especially the European ones), which it kept subject to blame for the Holocaust. In this way, Tel Aviv and its followers argued that the PLO was an organization that committed terrorist acts against Israeli interests and for that, Israel would use the same methods that, incidentally, were not unknown to it.

It was thus that Israel carried out many covert actions that were technically terrorist attacks that were never prosecuted in court in part, due to the support of its local “Sayan” networks and the political impunity that it enjoys for its connections with the estate public and politicians of the states where he attacked without ruling out bribery and extortion as other recruitment methods.

His covert actions in Iraq were memorable for their vileness and brutality. The unsuccessful attempts to assassinate Saddam Hussein long before the 1991 Gulf War was a part of history Tel Aviv would like to forget, losing several men among its failures. But this did not prevent him from conspiring continuously and with the support of Zionist organizations in the US Congress to instigate military intervention. It is even known that Mossad advisers after the invasion of Iraq in 2003 participated in the torture sessions of men and women in the “Black Rooms” installed in the concentration camps run by the Americans.

In the same vein, when the murders and disappearances of Iraqi scientists began to gain prominence, especially those dedicated to the area of ​​nuclear development, many did not hesitate to point their finger at Israel. And they were certainly not wrong. With the collaboration of the Americans (particularly with the Counterinsurgency programs of General David Petreaus and the then Director of Intelligence and Special Operations General Michael T. Flynn) and taking advantage of the state of chaos, precisely established by the invaders, the assassin teams Mossad members were able to penetrate Baghdad without difficulty and do their dirty work unimpeded.

Tel Aviv and in particular the Zionist circle headed by Benjamin Netanyahu believed that they could do the same in Iran and succeed. For this, they have deployed for years a huge battery of measures and actions with the intention of discrediting it in the face of global public opinion and then progressively destabilizing it internally in an attempt to recreate a situation similar to that of its Arab neighbor.

Since Ayatollah Rulloha Khomeini and his Islamic revolution came to power in 1979, Israel was exposed in what it had really done when it “selflessly” aided the puppet regime of Sha Reza Palevi. Prisons where torture and harassment against dissidents were practiced, supervised by Mossad, were some of the marks that were exposed. Since that time, Tehran has been a direct opponent of Israeli expansionist policies that target Palestinian Arabs (regardless of whether they are Christian or Muslim).

The same with Syria, which has been an unconditional of the Palestinian cause, which is why Tel Aviv, with the cooperation of the Jewish-American Lobbies and other private organizations operating in the hemisphere, has done everything possible to destabilize its internal politics.

When the attacks occurred in Buenos Aires in 1992 and 1994, Tel Aviv and Argentine Zionist circles (without the slightest proof of this) did not take long to direct their accusations against the PLO and indirectly against Syria and later when those arguments lost credibility and They were not supported by concrete evidence, they directed their complaints against Iran and the Lebanese “Party of God” Hesbollah. Despite all the staged stories (from obsequent media and journalists) and a justice conditioned by undeniable external pressures, during these years around Iran's participation in these acts, there is not an single evidence that supports it.

Currently upset by the help it gives Syria in the fight against CIA assets (Daesh and Kurdish mercenaries) and its own mercenaries disguised as “rebels” operating in Quneitra and Golan Highs, Tel Aviv had been conspiring and attacking the republic Syrian Arab in various ways such as air strikes, with missiles, infiltrations and terrorist attacks, provision of weapons, explosives and financial aid to Arab mercenaries provided by Saudi Arabia who operate under the label of "Al Qaeda", "Al Nusra ”And other subsidiaries.

Last November 27, Israel once again carried out one of its typical clandestine operations without expecting any retaliation. The assassination of Fakhrizadeh was a new provocation that Tehran would not leave unanswered and just as it did with the US after the assassination of Qassem Soleimani in early January, it sent a strong and clear response. Let us remember that when the CIA (with the complicity of Mossad) assassinated the Iranian general and eight other people who accompanied him when leaving the Baghdad airport, some time later a successful Taliban coup in Afghanistan ended the life of Michael D'Andrea alias “Dark Prince”, a prolific assassin who became the chief of operations for the CIA in that area and who would have had part in the execution of the terrorist attack in Baghdad. The fact left the heads of the Agency with their mouths open, or at least that led the press to believe. At that time the entire CIA was shaken and the US State Department had to publicly moderate its threats.

According to some sources, the assassination operation of the Iranian scientist had not been authorized and it would have been only a whim of the Netanyahu-Cohen duo who would have ordered this operation on their own. Likewise, this could well be just a rumor to try to excuse the state of Israel from its responsibilities before another of its terrorist acts.

On December 3, in the middle of an avenue southeast of Tel Aviv, Fahmi Hinavi, one of the Mossad's superior operations officers, who was mobilizing in his private car, was riddled with a precise burst of machine gun that hit him square in the trunk and upper body. The attackers quickly exited the highway and were lost in the dead of night. The Israeli media did not draw quick conclusions, although several unofficial sources suggested that this had been one of several attacks against other Israeli agents in Tel Aviv, carried out in a coordinated way by an Iranian command that after the coup, vanished into thin air.

Fahmi Hinavi's case could not be covered up because of the public thoroughfare where he was killed. Even and according to some versions they would have spoken of the participation of a car that approached Hinavi's at a time when he was stopped at the traffic light and it was there that he became a static target for his executors. This senior intelligence officer would have been one of the mentors and planners of the assassination of the Iranian scientist, with which his death is surrounded by a particular circumstance. The data is not minor and this has aroused terror among the Zionists and their settlers who, accustomed to going unpunished for their crimes, are now scared of their own shadow. After this, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his Mossad chief Yossi Cohen have made no statements beyond the usual nonsensical arguments.

Tehran neither confirms nor denies and certainly has no interest in confirming its participation, but it is true that it is a coup of satisfaction for its government after the aggression of November 27 last. Also, it could very well have been an adjustment of the same agency seeking to erase its traces
