Victory Is An Illusion In Israel's War

Just like Ukraine, it only builds resentment upon bulldozed boneyards

• The self-proclaimed intellectual vanguard reveal themselves as nothing but tribal

• When wagons are circled and sympathy for humans is equated with terrorism…

• The desire for domination becomes blatant; dripping with blood lust

• Many who defended free speech over Covid, seek to censor the same in Gaza

• Who defied Big Pharma but now align with corporations and billionaire donors...

• Traducing anyone who fails to march in lock step with the military complex

• Heart has its place yet we think with our head; to invert logic is Mind Wars

• Every lesson from Covid abandoned in the slaughter of those who gave no consent

• An object lesson in how the people of the 1930s were “only following orders”

• Freud’s psychology overturned morality, making gods of human emotions

• Demolishing people and with them society, in the desire to re-invent

• And so free speech and factual rigour becomes emotional and censorious

Dec 23, 2023

The crushing of Gaza has become another issue to divide public opinion but it is now showing its vicious side.

People are fired from jobs for expressing concern for Palestinians or for failing to censor their staff and students who criticise Israel. Elon Musk has bowed to the pressure of advertisers and Twitter is banning voices once again.

It's getting dirty. People are defamed, words taken out of context, videos edited to twist meanings — largely it must be said by Western and Israeli propaganda machines: military censors like Britain's 77th Brigade and Israel's Hasbara "public diplomacy" teams.

Such attacks are co-ordinated, happening at the same time, using the same words. They manipulate Twitter's Community Notes system, which append "user comments" to Tweets that are alleged to be inaccurate. One account targets three pro-Palestinian Tweets per hour, operating around the clock.

This is not to pick sides but to try to assess objectively why discourse descends first to insult, then to claims of injury, and finally to attempts to shut down and ban rival voices.

Secondly, it is just and logical to compare this censorship regime with what happened under the pretext of Covid.

Tribunes topple

Media literacy and critical thinking have taken a hit, under assault from a bureaucratic censorship regime that was put in place long before Covid, on the presumption that governments have a right to tell citizens what to think.

This censorship operation seems to use operatives who once posed as tribunes of the people, champions of the supposed alternative media.

They denounced censorship over Covid, yet a surprising number now demand the gag on Gaza. Those who once exposed Big Pharma now align with corporate billionaires to crush anyone not marching in lock step with Israel.

Having posed as "truthers," their switcheroo should flash red lights for anyone who regards truth as universal and based in reality.

For now they appeal to emotion — and it must be said, also lies — about what happened on Oct 7: lies they continue to repeat about beheaded babies, suspended on washing lines, and rapes for which zero testimony has been given to Israel's own inquiry, while the government refuses to admit UN inspectors.

Emotion has taken them into the realm of "my truth."

See Philip Rieff: The Triumph of the Therapeutic (1966) on the birth of "psychological man" and the victory of relativism — or how psychoanalysis was instrumental in breaking down morality and religion, while creating an inner god, predisposing hedonism and impulse.

It is not just that people like Laura Dodsworth, Douglas Murray and Ben Shapiro take a different moral stance on Covid and Gaza. They now apply contradictory il-logical premises. A once resolute commitment to free speech and historical and factual rigour has morphed into a censorious and emotional diatribe.

The pursuit of objectivity can and should be independent of balance and bias, let alone tribal loyalty. Heart has its place but we think with our head.

Sometimes it takes maturity to tell the difference. One failing, for example, is to pick a starting point for comparison. We saw during the pandemic that excess deaths could be conjured by counting all flu cases as Covid. Whereas flu deaths are tallied by the year, Covid was calculated with a cumulative, multi-year mountainous incline, splashed on the television screens.

If the starting point of excess deaths is pinned in the 1970s, you can see that Covid deaths in 2020-21 were not out of the ordinary — not until the roll out of the jabs.

Similarly, do you begin the Palestinian conflict in Oct 7, 2023, the date of the Hamas assault, or May 14, 1948, the date of the founding of Israel?

The starting point that you select completely changes the narrative.

The tribunes of the people, fearless during Covid, know this very well because they were the onese who pointed it out!

So when they chant "do you condemn what happened on October the 7th" they know they are shaping the narrative on behalf of the same Western governments they criticised during the plandemic.

If you point out that Oct 7 is only one date in a century-long series of events — that Palestinians have born the brunt of expropriation and terror for the best part of a century — you are classified as a trouble maker or dissident by Western governments.

If you point out that Israel's government financed Hamas as a counterpoint to offset and weaken established Palestinian organisations — even from an Israeli viewpoint that is honest enough to admit they did so in their own interest — you are venturing into dangerous territory.

Don’t dare say that Israel’s government knew in advance of the attack, and let it happen on purpose. Haaretz, the journal 972 and others have proven so, but mostly for the Hebrew, not international, audience.

Misinformation Intensification

Why is censorship and propaganda being intensified? Simple; Israel is losing the war to Hamas.

As with Ukraine, the Western press will not tell you until we are long down the road and defeat is unavoidable. As with Ukraine, the loss of senior AFU staff was rarely mentioned in the Western press; that of NATO advisors even less.

There are two wars. Online we were told that the IDF is eliminating Hamas, just as the AFU smashed the Russians. Then on Dec 12 Hamas scored a direct hit on senior IDF commanders on the ground, killing at least 10 and wounding others including a colonel and three majors from the elite Golani Brigade.

Now it’s confirmed that the 13th Battalion of the Golani Brigade, a historic unit that dates from February 1948, has withdrawn from Gaza for a 48-hour “breather” following 21 days of intense fighting in the Shujayea neighbourhood of Gaza City.

“The unit has lost 44 soldiers since October 7 and faced a complex, multi-part ambush in [Shujayea] on December 12, which left nine soldiers dead,” according to the neo-con Institute for the Study of War, run by the Kagan family of U.S. deputy secretary of state Victoria Nuland.

As for the casualties of Oct 7, the narrative keeps changing and not in a way that boosts Israel’s perception.

Israel this week revised the toll downwards again, to 695 civilians. In addition it lost "373 security forces and 71 foreigners, giving a total of 1,139."

It is odd that it has taken two months to trim the numbers from 1,500. Israel so recently tagged its citizens for the Covid vaccine and its vaccination "green pass."

The narrative of Oct 7 was collapsing, but that was not reflected in the Western press. Even the oppositional Israeli newspaper Haaretz, as noted earlier, only publishes the information in its Hebrew edition and not in its international, English version.

Internal Dialogue

Democide is a greater offence against humanity than genocide, though you barely read this in international law or theoretical treatises, let alone in the state corporate media.

That should hardly come as a surprise since such a measure fits with the depopulation measures — say it ain't so!

Yet suspicious minds, like conspiracy theorists, are going extinct: it is happening. The experience of the past four years has surpassed any plotting, projection and forecasting.

In Maui the people of Lahaina have been pushed off their land. In Gaza the people are being pushed off their land. Dutch farmers have been pushed off their land; Sri Lankans, too.

Relativists will say. “oh, that was different”: one was a wildfire, the other a war, and in Holland they're just trying to build a giant city called the Ti-State...

Of course, the techniques are different! If the tactic was the same in every case then the strategy of depopulation and land grab would be clear as day.

However they all fit hand in glove with the SMART cities, Net Zero, eco-fascist agenda that the bureaucrats espouse.

Scales fall

What's not to see? Is humanity to be sacrificed over misplaced loyalty to a tribe to whom most owe nothing?

Is such a threat to the mass of people to be wilfully ignored for fear of traducing a historical sleight?

Is such a threat to the mass of people to be wilfully ignored because we are trapped in a flawed, inreasingly ideological education?

Kurt Metzger, who co hosts with fellow entertainer Jimmy Dore, puts it well: after 9.11 he was all for "a gallon of blood for a drop of blood" but with hindsight saw how he, and we, had been misled and manipulated. His view is "are we going to be as stupid, all over again, as we were 20 years ago."

The Western public remains in the dark as to what really happened on Oct 7, while the Israeli population is whipped into fury by the use of the technique described by Herman Goering:

“Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same way in any country."

Israelis continue to support revenge upon Gaza by about 90 per cent, polls suggest.

Communal Dialogue

As with NATO, the IDF controls the narrative in the state corporate media. As with Ukraine, international journalists do not venture into the areas where fighting is taking place — they stay in Kyiv. In Gaza, they are embedded with the IDF and subject to censorship.

Is this a weakness of 5th generation, hybrid warfare, when MindWars ™ are part of the product, and the domestic population back home in the West is as much the target as those "over there"?

IDF seemed to borrow the idea from Mariupol and the resistance of Azov Battalion secreted in tunnels deep under public buildings.

IDF borrowed from the WWI a strange conflation of the Hun bayoneting Belgian babies, while misunderstanding the meaning of "hanging out the washing on the Siegfried line" — and gave us a ludicrous story of dead babies on a clothes line.

As these narratives fell apart, the two wars — one online, the other on the ground — began to diverge.

Meanwhile celebrities and politicians were treated to private screenings of the atrocities of Oct 7, a film that Israel's propagandists did not release to the public presumably because it would have been shot to pieces, as were many Israeli citizens by their own side.

Interrupted Dialogue

So what cracked the narrative?

It was the killing of three Israelis as they tried to surrender to their own forces in Gaza; who stripped to the waist (to show they were unarmed) and held up a white flag.

The most remarkable thing is that the three hostages had escaped from Hamas captivity and continued to move from house to house in an attempt to dodge the bombings of the Israeli Air Force and the Qassam Brigades. Sometimes they claimed to be journalists, and when they finally approached the Israeli army after two weeks, they raised a white flag and, despite everything, were identified as a target and in their exposed position were shot dead.

Huge protests followed in Israel. Grieving relatives accused the government of murdering the three youths.

Avi Shamriz, one of the fathers, said the sniper who killed his son knew he was a captive: “It was clear that he knew who he was dealing with."

If true, the young man, Alon Shamriz, was a victim of the Hannibal Directive.

Some suggested prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu wanted the hostages dead for they were witnesses to what happened on Oct 7. It is increasingly clear that a Gleiwitz incident occurred. Former UK ambassador Craig Murray wrote:

"Been listening to reports about the hostage shootings across several Western TV channels in the hotel. Quite astonishing. Apparently just mistaken identity. If they had been half naked Palestinians waving a white flag and begging for mercy, murdering them would not be a problem."

Murray is an unabashed supporter of the Palestinian cause. What as the impact on the viewers of those Western TV channels?

What is it that Netanyahu might not want hostages to reveal about Oct 7? It is the Hannibal Doctrine. The operating memo given to Israeli forces that you kill civilian captives.

Israelis are finally asking the right questions: and discovering that the government did indeed apply the Hannibal Directive to its own citizens, massacring them on Oct 7 and then blaming Hamas, and that is seeping into the international press. [1]

This week two Israeli soldiers gave TV interviews about what they saw at the Be'eri kibbutz:

"Suddenly you see an Israeli plane fire a missile into the kibbutz. You see tanks moving inside...

From the right hand side hundreds of citizens from the kibbutz... with children in their arms... People fleeing to the entrance and it was bombed at the entrance of the kibbutz (by an Israeli jet)."

Tunnels were Israel's justification for attacking hospitals. A Washington Post investigation concludes that none of the five buildings in Al-Shifa Hospital were connected to any tunnels.

Those are facts that punch through the miasma of opinion polls and propaganda. Even the historical narrative has collapsed; that Palestinians had turned down offers of a settlement.

"You have been blaming me for almost 30 years for putting the brakes on the Oslo Accords, and preventing the Palestinian state. That’s true, I’m proud that I prevented the establishment of a Palestinian state" — Benjamin Netanyahu, Dec 15, 2023

The bogeyman Hamas, it turns out, was financed by Israel, which drove suitcases stuffed with cash into Gaza to keep Hamas in power according to The New York Times:

"The calculus — the Times reported on Sunday, citing Israeli officials, Netanyahu's critics, and the man's own reported statements — was to keep Hamas strong enough to counteract the Palestinian Authority in the West Bank, allowing Netanyahu to avoid a two-state peace solution and keep both sides weak." [2]

Null Point

We are at an inflection point. TPTB must either quit or double down. False flags will be forgotten if war spreads rapidly.

Covid and shot, and Ukraine were a foretaste. We are seeing the next stage of the shut down of global trade. That will be accompanied with a massive cyber attack false flag event, as promised in Obama's new movie. Famines may be on horizon.

At the same time, the U.S. is heading to war with its smallest armed forces in eight decades. The Military recruiters say Generation Z (those born between 1997 and 2012) generally have “low trust in institutions” and have “decreasingly followed traditional life and career paths.”

U.S. Senator Dick Durbin revealed on Dec 4 the reason behind open borders. He wants undocumented and illegal migrants to make up the shortfall in the U.S. military, in the police and also in hospitals. The threat of a police and military force that has no ties or loyalty to the American people is clear.

If there is broader war, Western populations may yet share the fate of young Israelis: in the draft.

Even if the conflict stops tomorrow, the aftershocks could last for 50 years. Paul Rogers, professor of peace studies at Bradford University and an honorary fellow at the Joint Service Command and Staff College, wrote in The Guardian:

“Overall, the IDF is still following the well-rehearsed Dahiya doctrine of massive force in responding to irregular war, causing extensive social and economic damage, undermining the will of the insurgents to fight while deterring future threats to Israel’s security. But it is going badly wrong. Criticism is coming from unexpected quarters, including from the former UK defence minister, Ben Wallace, who has warned of an impact lasting 50 years. Even the Biden administration is becoming thoroughly uneasy at what is unfolding, yet Benjamin Netanyahu and the war cabinet are determined to continue for as long as they can.” [3]

Neutron Plan

Looking To 2024, Israel has made clear it is considering ethnically cleansing Gaza and expelling Palestinians into other countries. The wrinkle is that it knows, from Palestinian's own words, that this would create a population Hell bent on retribution.

The conclusion has not escaped Israeli thinking. They have spoken of wiping out the Palestinians, and the revelations about neutron bombs suggests that they may already be poisoning the well, or genetic pool, of future Palestinian generations.

The evidence for this was discussed a couple of days ago. It is well sourced, by a former British MoD investigator, and samples of soil and metal from Gaza have shown the same traces found in Fallujah, where the U.S. also experimented with neutron bombs.

Recently Heritage Minister Amichai Eliyahu suggested dropping a nuclear bomb on Gaza. Netanyahu did suspend him after the comment. He also suggested the surviving Palestinians go "to the desert or Ireland."

That stuff about Iran making nuclear weapons: pure projection. Accuse others of what you are doing.

Israel may already have used neutron bombs in Gaza — enriched uranium with a half-life of 80,000 years. The aim would be to created genetic damage to Palestinians and to prevent them having viable children, giving them cancer and infertility.

Similar was done in Fallujah, as proven by UK MoD adviser Christopher Busby, a top nuclear physicist.

Proof is creation of residue: activation products like Cobalt 60 in steel, Tritium in water, and Carbon 14.

Busby is a long-time researcher of the biochemical damage caused by the long-range dispersal of depleted uranium weapons. As a member of the UK Ministry of Deference's Depleted Uranium Oversight Board, he published his findings through the consultancy Green Audit.
