Israel has been an illegal occupation from the very beginning. With the emergence of drone warfare, Israel is now in a very vulnerable position.
As usual, Israel will overreact and commit genocide. This will anger Islamic countries, who will support anti Israel groups, and supply them with the money to purchase drones on a mass scale. Israel could be a much different place in a few years if it still exists at all.
They may have a hard time this time , we will see. As I mentioned below, if they were really smart that would have gamed the imminent possibility that the IDF will invade Gaza and have prepared many many many many traps for them on there own ground.
The other wild card is Hezbollah…..if they join in the fray Israel will have its hands full.
Then we will see how the women and children killers handle that crowd. Won’t be pretty for them. They are essentially cowards and like picking off wheel chair protesters from 2km out…….
I earn approximately $13,000 a month working part-time. I was curious to learn more after hearing from multiple people about the amount of money they were able to make online. Well, it all happened and totally bs-11 changed my life. Everyone must now use this website to try out this job.

Alexander always disclaims specialist knowledge of military matters, and he is right where the Merkava tank is concerned. It’s the world’s most advanced tank in the same way that Iron Dome is the world’s best air defence system – that is, not at all. Nohow. Contrariwise. The Russians probably have the world’s most advanced tanks; apart from anything else, they have many different types and models, each with its own strengths, whereas most countries have just one type. Israel had no motive to create the world’s most advanced tank, as it has no current enemies (who dare attack it) except… Read more »
Sorry Alexander, but Israel did try to carry out the Oslo Accords, but they kept having to deal with suicide bombers, and the just as what happened in Ukraine, the West DID NOT hold the Palestinians to their side of the bargain – starting with getting Nazi-level Jewish hatred outside of the educational materials of their kids (and probably lots more violations by the Palestinian side, but I’m not an expert on that).
How many suicide bombings? Did they increase or decerease with the Olso Accords? Tell me, because it must be important. “starting with getting Nazi-level Jewish hatred outside of the educational materials of their kids (and probably lots more violations by the Palestinian side, but I’m not an expert on that).” Why proabably? What about violatins of Israeli ‘settlers’ into Palestinain land. Destruction of hteir criops, treess, dwellings…? Ref: The excuse given: What educational materials? Chalk? Books? What are their titles? Did yo find out? Or just accept the statement excusing Israeli’s fo rnot keeping ot the Olso accords, on face… Read more »
Just read Kevin Barretts piece on Unz this morning…..very well written and all the major facts.
The real terrorist are the Israelis….
settelers do not qualify as innocent civillians,,,they are terrorists
1srae!’s days are numbered, as it is an artificially created state, that has been propped up by the West. The hatred fostered in the region by the West to keep it weak is part of that. Now that the West is loosing power, Isreal will ultimately loose much of that support. Most of the world is upset at 1srae! for blatently violating dozens of UNSC resolutions, so if Western support dies, it is not likely someone will take their place. One just has to think, what has been keeping 1srae! afloat all these decades? Such a small state, with next… Read more »
Poor, poor man, here running his mouth about Palestine. And that the Israeli military must come to grips with this debacle in order that it can never be allowed again! Well, brain dead, why not talk about what is essentially the cause of this seemingly suicidal incursion into Israel! These people have been terrorized now for 60 plus years, haven’t’ you seen Illan Pappe’s book “The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine”? Looks like no, unsurprisingly. There is noting that they could do to equal the massive injustices that have been brought upon them. They are in an existential battle with an… Read more »
Why? And cui bono? According to Robert Spencer, and I believe him, the cause/reason is Islam which commands all believers to convert, subjugate, or kill disbelievers, and says that Jews are the most hated people. Since the attack is framed as a protective war (and only that justifies jihad), this is jihad, even if that word has not yet been uttered. Israeli intelligence was caught completely by surprise–next to unimaginable. A musician doesn’t suddenly become tone-deaf. An intelligence service does not suddenly become totally clueless. This is the most inexplicable thing, to me at least. Whoever planned this obviously knew… Read more »
Is it a good idea to beleive Robert Spencer , then? PLease show me exactly whre Islam commands the death of disbeleivers? Lets take a look at conversion by the sword: Now, imagine I place a knife at your throat – you as an aetheist, a disbeleiver, and ask Now, do you beleive in GOd, the one god, the only God? Would you become a martyr for your beleif? How many did? None? One? No, I dont think so. Most likely you would have a realisatio, that your so called disbeleif, your political position, was a mere fancy, and this… Read more »
Is it a good idea to beleive Robert Spencer , then? It’s more than belief. I have read quite a few books on Islam that he wrote, and seen quite a few presentations on YouTube that he gave. He knows more about Islam than most Muslim scholars (who, btw, hated to debate him while they tried). If you want to know more about the subject, I recommend his “The Politically Incorrect Guide to Islam” for starters. PLease show me exactly whre Islam commands the death of disbeleivers? All quotes from Koran Sahih International, and there are more: 2:191 – And… Read more »
Does SP pencer hold education classes for Muslims in the way of the Koran? And Teach the muslim families in their communities? Being that superior, I would consider it his duty. Sorry, none of those quotes cut it for me. There are sections in the Koran that deal, contemporaenously, with how to conduct yourself in war, when the Arabs were at war. ANd elsewhere it therefore may appear to contradict, with showing of mercy or kindness, or brotherhood towards, E.G. Christians. ANd yes, if the enemy following battle fail to pay tribute to a conquorer, one like yourself or your… Read more »
You started off with “PLease show me exactly whre Islam commands the death of disbeleivers?“, so I did. All you offered in response to my Koran examples was referring to other parts of the Koran about mercy, kindness, and “brotherhood towards, E.G. Christians.” Have you heard about the Islamic concept of abrogation? Those peaceful verses are from Mohammed’s Meccan (early) period, all abrogated by the later violent Medinan verses. Also, I didn’t “exclusively borrow from” Spencer — I borrowed exclusively from the Koran, one of the Trinity of books Muslims consider sacred. Is that not good enough for you? Your… Read more »
Israelis are baffled? There are elderly Palestinians living in Gaza and the West Bank who have never seen a day of freedom in their lives. Israel has blockaded Gaza, put the Gazans on a “diet” by blocking food deliveries, bombed the area every few years killing thousands, and has limited medical supplies to Gaza. And Israelis are “baffled” that the people they’ve been oppressing for 75 years have finally struck back? That’s the power of propaganda.
Hamas attacked Israel because “that’s what Hamas does”??? I expected better from you Alexander. Are you saying that 74 years of occupation and a decade of blockade are not good enough reasons for Hamas’s attack? You never once mentioned either of them. You cannot whitewash Israeli history, and you should not presume to speak of things you know nothing about. Stay in your lane. No one expects you to know everything about everything, and when you speak of things you know nothing about, it shows.
Bravo bro, you are right.
I am not so sure that Israel’s relations with the ‘rest of the world’ have been normalising. Perhaps between governments with respect to treaties, agreements, trade, etc., but it is debatable that this is the case amongst the global public. The NPR reports: “According to the Anti-Defamation League, 2021 was the highest year on record for documented reports of harassment, vandalism and violence directed against Jews. The watchdog group has tracked these incidents since 1979, and it says 2022 will look a lot like last year. These record breaking numbers present as part of a consistent, five year upswing in… Read more »
Hamas, making a decision to prepare and attack the Israel border to the surprise of the Israelis, having failed to inform the Israel beforehand of its intentions, is not necessarily a ‘break down in Israeli intelligence’ at all. In which case it’s correctly called a ‘surprise attack’. Israel failed to gather intelligence of any preparations. And very slight any signs of preparation may have been; Its hardly a failure if the Hamas kept it a secret amongst themselves. Why do I appear to state the obvious? Because Israel don’t seem to be capable of mind-reading or engaging in remote listening… Read more »
What no likes? Jeez, its meant to be sharp, humerous and witty!
$100 billion for Ukraine? Biden can dream on. Instead of 24 billion each quarter, Biden wants to dump a year’s worth of funding on Congress so he won’t have to deal with this 4 times over his election year. Ukraine is done and anyone with half a brain knows it. Biden always thinks other people are as dumb as he is. They aren’t. Even Biden doesn’t expect to get the money. He is just throwing a big number at Congress so that whatever he gets will look like a pittance to Congress. The next 12 months will be the worst… Read more »
Alex talks about War Crimes. Israel has more resolutions against it that the entire World Combined, including War Crimes.
War Crimes is what Israel does.
Throwing a family off their land holding is a terrorist act, non? Perhaps they’d be better of dead, and when they attempt to resist, dont mind being called terrorists by thier bullshitting enemies’ abetters, or even dying.
ALexander’s analysis of the Relationship between State of Israel and Palestinain people ends with conclsuoin that inaction by Israel towards solving a problematic relationship with dispossed and dis-empowered Palestianins, is due Israeli complacency. Well, that may also be considered (weakly) immoral by some, but imore importantly it actually serves as an excuse. Yes, but its worse, because its may well be untrue. Israel in my opinion is not at all complacent, but hard at work. Illegal (nasty, viscous, murderous, cruel) Setlement policies and moves serve to illustrate that from Top government level, al the way down, there is no complacenecy… Read more »
‘The most dangerous conflict of all’ (50′) ; Most dangerous to whom – your listeners, the ‘beautiful people’, innocents, Gay pride, Islamic women studying the Koran, the whole human world, for wildlife, the biosphere, for global warming, for people that matter, for zionist Jews? And, how so?
