Israel has attacked Gaza Flotilla (dead and wounded)

[Mark Stapleton]

I can't see how Israel alone could fight against such an array of opponents and succeed--unless they unleashed nukes and destroyed themselves in the process. The entire region may yet unite against Israel in the event of another war.

The circumstances are much different to 1967 for example. Unlike then, Israel has now alienated itself from much of Europe, Asia and indeed most of the world. Spin won't work when the rest of the world knows the score. Because of the internet, Zionist control over information has been weakened. They can't impose an alternative reality like they used to. Their efforts to do so in this recent debacle have been an abject failure.

And America has no pretext for fighting on Israel's side--the slavering rednecks in the Republican Party notwithstanding. They don't even have a formal defence treaty with Israel--just a set of vague 'understandings'. The top military brass have also displayed a reluctance to follow Israel's lead of late. Despite Israel's control over the US legislature and much of its institutions, there's dissent everywhere--and its becoming more vocal.

Iran has been very careful not to provoke the Israel/US axis into war. They insist on their right to nuclear energy just like anyone else, but they haven't stepped over the mark once, much to the annoyance and frustration of the true axis of evil.

In their desperation, Israel may expedite all the false flag attacks they have in the pipeline in order to catalyse the west into supporting them. Bombs (and God knows what else) might start going off everywhere in the west. I certainly hope I'm wrong there, but what I've learned over the last ten years or so is that you can never underestimate the evil of the Zionist regime. They've developed a seige mentality against the rest of the world.

I think we're in danger of discussing how many angels can dance on the head of a pin here, but a couple of points:

Firstly I don't think America needs a pretext. 'America', as used and abused by you-know-who, is largely irrelevant. It is a trans-national elite dominated by the US PNAC-aligned political establishment that calls the shots and I don't think there's much doubt about its bought-and-paid Zionist loyalties. The only question for me is the extent to which the US military will continue to allow itself to be the tool of that trans-national agenda.

On that analysis, IF Erdogan is judged a serious enough threat and Syria/Iran can be drawn into action in support, that trans-national elite have the makings of the casus beli against the Axis of Evil they so desperately need. Sterling efforts being made with North Korea right now too,

I don't see all that as a done deal but historical precedents are not encouraging.

Well said.

We are really moving into uncharted territory now.

The North Korean comedy sank without trace. At least they're mixing comedy with tragedy.
