There is no chance that Hamas could have broken through the security barrier around Gaza and gone on a killing spree for 8-26 hours before the IDF arrived. This means Israel let them through, which means the USA told them to, which means everything happening now was planned. Image
The Israel Government has refused to explain why the Israel Defense Forces, with 173,000 active personnel, 193 fighter jets, 38 attack helicopters and 1,760 tanks on standby, and advance warning of an attack, took almost 3 days to cross the 77 miles from Jerusalem to Gaza. Image
If you believe that, half an hour after two passenger planes struck the WTC, causing three towers to collapse on their own footprint, a third was allowed to strike the Pentagon, then you probably believe that the inmates of a concentration camp can escape, and this is your 9/11. Image
This is @efenigson, an Israeli journalist who served in the intelligence service of the Israel Defense Forces for 25 years, giving her opinion about the likelihood of Hamas launching this attack. This is the question every politician justifying genoicde in Gaza must be asked,
A lot of the comments on here appear to be based on an inaccurate perception of the size of the Gaza Strip over which the IDF, which this year was ranked the 4th strongest military in the world, have complete control. For those in the UK, this is how it fits inside London. Image
Since so many people are reading this post, here’s a link to a previous thread summarising the history of the Gaza Strip and the conditions of life there. These are worth bearing in mind when estimating the likelihood of Hamas militants attacking Israel.
There’s also this. By starting another war in the Middle East, most immediately with Iran (‘all roads lead to Iran’), the US has the means to economically destabilise the Arab nations threatening the US dollar as the reserve currency of the world, which is what BRICS represents. Image
In confirmation of which, the USA has sent a second carrier strike group, led by USS Dwight D. Eisenhower with 9 aircraft squadrons, to join the first group, led by the largest carrier in the world, USS Gerald R. Ford, off the coast of Gaza. This isn’t to kill more Palestinians. Image

‘English Fascism, when it arrives, is likely to be of a sedate and subtle kind. Probably a slimy Anglicised form of Fascism, with cultured policemen instead of Nazi gorillas and the lion and the unicorn instead of the swastika.’ — George Orwell, 1937 Image
On 28 February 1933, the Decree for the Protection of People and State suspended most of the human rights of German citizens, including the rights of public assembly and freedom of association, privacy of postal and telephonic communication, freedom of expression and the press.
On 21 March 1933, the Malicious Practices Act made it illegal to speak against, question or criticise the Third Reich, with anti-Nazi jokes or ‘spreading rumours’ punishable by fines or imprisonment. This led to a vast number of denunciations to the Secret State Police.

Right now, Starmer has a queue of suits from the UN, IMF, World Bank, WHO, GAVI, NATO, EC, Trilateral Commission and Bank of England saying: ‘Right, we got you in, now here’s what you’re going to do for us.’ The appointment of Vallance is the first of many concessions to come. Image
And here’s the next, the IPCC’s lobbyist inside the Cabinet, turning the dogma of environmental fundamentalism (including the chimera of Net Zero) into UK legislation. First up, make climate-change scepticism a hate crime. A goggle-eyed fanatic, and England’s answer to Al Gore. Image
And here’s the next, Israel’s lobbyist inside the Cabinet, turning genocide into arms deals, and Zelensky’s new courier and laundromat. The UK’s woke-spokesperson-in-chief, denouncing anyone who disagrees as racist and anti-Semitic, is now our Minister for US Imperialism. Image

American translation: ‘Russian aggression’ (Biden), ‘Unprovoked attack’ (Blinken), ‘Crimes against humanity’ (Harris), ‘Putin appeaser’ (Sunak), ‘Like Nazis’ (Cameron), ‘I stand with Ukraine’ (Starmer), ‘For as long as it takes’ (von der Leyen), ‘Virus of Putin’ (Zelensky).
There is, literally, no way to question this political hegemony in the American language, because American is the language in which we have been taught not to question, not to disagree, not to think, but instead to repeat, to agree, to comply.

It is in this sense, I believe, that we should understand the statement made by every Western government and transnational technocracy from the United Nations, European Commission and NATO down that they stand with Ukraine ‘for as long as it takes’.
