BURDENING
Why would Netanyahu and
the Israeli establishment want to maintain total secrecy about what is and will
happen in Gaza?
By Sir Charlattam
The Palestinian resistance's surprise attack on Gaza's neighbouring installations and settlements would not have been so surprising. But what do you mean by that? asked an old friend as we sipped a delicious malt scotch. Beyond the inexplicable lightning action, the expertise demonstrated by the Palestinian commandos and the supposed surprise to Israeli intelligence, there are several loose ends that would cast doubt on the latter.
It appears that many of
the guard posts and military bases had only a few troops on duty and the others
who were there were still asleep. It took me back to Iraq in the first week of
June 2014, when apparently no one expected what was about to happen. Several
brigades of men in regulation uniforms (not imitations) of the Iraqi army and
ISOF counter-terrorism forces, mobilised in pick-up trucks emblazoned with
government insignia, set up roadblocks on the main roads in the north heading
towards Baghdad.
No one suspected a
thing. Except for their faces covered in black balaclavas with red berets, no
one suspected anything and when they stopped cars and detected Al Maliki regime
officials or Shiite militants, they were invited to get out and after taking
them behind a hill with the excuse of checking their papers, they revealed that
they were from the "Islamic State" and, on summary conviction, were
shot in the back of the head.
We would later learn
that these groups were made up of a combination of members of resistance groups
of former Baath party officials such as the “Nakshaiabandi Army” and
mercenaries administered by the Mukhabarat of the petro monarchies that
cooperated with the “Islamic State” hoax.
The CIA and their
Israeli colleagues, who in turn managed the Kurds, had provided the resources
for this operation whose objective was to have a base of operations in the east
of Syria to continue operations to overthrow Bashar Al Assad.
One of the clues to the
discovery of this involvement was the weapons, vehicles and equipment used by
these alleged jihadists, many of which were transported on ships unloading in
Turkey. Another major party involved was the Turkish MIT, a central player in
colouring this hoax by giving it an Islamist tone for the media to portray.
This is a page that the
US and its partners (especially Erdogan) would like to forget. For months there
have been allegations that many of the weapons and equipment destined for the
Nazi regime in Kiev were being diverted to other theatres, one of them in the
Arabian Peninsula where several tons of equipment were allegedly unloaded
without their destination being known.
Today, after the
assault by Hamas and other Palestinian groups, some elements have come to light
that are already making State Department and Defence officials and, of course,
Biden himself, suspicious. Where did Hamas and the “Izzedim Al Qassam” Brigades
get the M136 anti-tank missiles, the plastic explosives used to blow up fences
and the AK-74 rifles donated by Atlanticist partners that were supposed to have
arrived in Ukraine?
Another curious
question: where did the drones used by Hamas come from? But it is only a
material detail. The Palestinian fighters demonstrated such precise and lethal
military expertise that Israeli military leaders have been struck dumb. To
cover up this Israeli politico-military catastrophe, the Western media have
already begun to roll out all sorts of overblown and other remarkably
exaggerated stories of mass Israeli baby killings that seek to dehumanise the
Palestinians and justify the carnage the air force and navy are carrying out at
this very moment.
Still on a strictly
military note, other observations have detected in the hands of “Hamas”, “Izzedim
Al Qassam” and “Islamic Jihad” other equipment and portable weapons that were
abandoned by the Americans in Afghanistan in September 2021 and somehow arrived
undetected in the Gaza Strip. This last consideration seems impossible to
contemplate since the Israeli navy has also closed off access to and exit from
the Gaza coast by sea. The “Taliban navy” must be ruled out right away for the
simple fact that there is no such thing. So how could they get in?
It is also known that
the CIA left there an intelligence programme that after the fall of Mosul in
2017 was transferred -by plane- to Central Asia based on the “ISIS”
format only with a refinement in the terms of its identity taken from Islamic
scatology calling this hoax as “ISIS-KORASAN”. Why would it be unreasonable
that part of its weapons and equipment could not be transferred by its
directors who in turn are partners of Israel?
If the jailer holds the
key, the alternatives to open that door in Gaza boil down to one possibility.
Someone seized the opportunity that brought together Palestinian despair and
anger with the internal crisis among Israelis. When the smoke clears from all
this, the same Israelis who are not idiots will look at Bibi and his people
because, in addition to having concentrated security resources to take care of
the settlers who have been murdering West Bank Palestinians with impunity, this
carnage that began on Saturday only benefits him.
Now while it is
demolishing Gaza with bunker-busting bombs, indiscriminately killing civilians
(as its generals announced they don't care about collateral damage), Israel is
launching a ground offensive that has already caused hundreds of civilians,
women and children to be killed for the proclaimed “right to defend oneself”,
the government has ruled that Palestinian prisoners (regardless of whether they
really are) are considered as “unlawful combatants”, i.e. they can do anything
with them, just as the US did with those suspected of terrorism, justifying
among other practices, torture, abuse, executions and disappearances.
