To Western audiences, recent statements made by Benny Gantz, the opposition party leader and member of Israel’s war cabinet passed completely unnoticed. However, across the Muslim world, his message was heard loud and clear. Gantz said, “The fighting will continue until our goals are achieved. It can continue even in the month of Ramadan. Either the hostages will be returned, or we will extend the fighting to Rafah.” To translate, Gantz effectively announced a holy war on Islam that will include the ethnic cleansing of the entire Gaza strip. These provocative statements are not accidental and deliberately made to enrage the Islamic world and bait them into the larger war Israel seeks. You see, Israel never intended for the Gaza false flag operation to begin and end there. The War launched against Gaza was just the beginning of a plan intended to eventually consume the entire Middle East as I have extensively documented in previous letters. If Israel is not stopped, not only will the US become party to the worst genocide in recent years, but it will be pulled into a major war in the Middle East we cannot win.
Let me be clear, nearly 1.4 million displaced Palestinians are now trapped inside of Rafah, which is literally the southern border city between Egypt and the Gaza Strip. Contrary to the propaganda, these aren’t just Muslims, but include many Christians. They were forced there after Israel began massive bombing and shelling of Gaza and then Khan Yunis. From north to south the Israelis have bombed and bulldozed the Gaza Strip leaving nothing for any of the Palestinians to return to. Water, food, and fuel were cut off to these people months ago and disease, starvation, and dehydration are rampant. These people have no basic infrastructure and are sleeping in the streets with no water, blankets, clothing, or toilets as the Israeli military bombs and shells them. Over 28,000 people have been killed by the Israelis since October and the vast majority have been women and children. This situation couldn’t get more desperate, but Israel now is announcing they will move forward with their war and attack Rafah. Folks, there is literally nowhere for these people to go. They are already refugees.
If Israel attacks Rafah, not only will it create a catastrophic humanitarian crisis, but it risks sparking a return to war with Egypt and other Arab nations. Gantz knows this and I suspect it is exactly why he made such inflammatory statements. Further, Egypt has already put Israel and the region on notice that if Israel seizes that Rafah border crossing as it has announced it plans to do, it will violate a peace deal that has been in effect since the 1973 Yom Kippur War. This would nullify the ceasefire and at least diplomatically put the two nations back into a state of war. On this point, I should note that Egypt has moved military forces to the Sinai near the border. This equipment includes air defense systems, which clearly are not intended for use against Palestinian refugees that have no aircraft. Further, Turkey and Egypt have been in close communication suggesting there could be a unified coalition of Muslim nations again coalescing for action against Israel. If war is triggered, it would thrust the world into a major conflict where everyone loses. Nonetheless, it appears that the Israelis guided by their apocalyptic messianic policy to achieve Zionist objectives have lost all perspective, sanity, and sense of morality and desire the escalation. Remember, before this is over, Israel plans to embroil the US in a final war to eliminate all of their perceived opposition.
Speaking of escalation, Israel has not let up for a second on attacks inside of Lebanon and Syria. Despite diplomatic controls in place to prevent a war from spiraling out of control between Israel and Hezbollah, Israel continues incrementally escalating towards total war. My belief is that Israel has planned to begin a full-scale war against Hezbollah from the beginning of this operation. However, they have been smart about it and have been careful to prevent escalation until they have finished off Gaza. This prevents Israel from having to fight a very dangerous multifront war. Instead, Israel has opted for a plan that is a slow reveal so they can take on their adversaries one at time. That said, once the war opens with Hezbollah, it won’t be long before the war spreads to Iran, which will be a war the US must bear the brunt. The problem of course is the US can’t afford such a war and certainly can’t win it, but it won’t stop the Israelis from forcing our entrance in the war by hook or by crook.
I want to also point out that today’s Jerusalem Post carried an article that the US carried out a cyber attack against an Iranian intelligence gathering ship. The announcement of this is highly unusual because cyber-attacks are generally reserved for covert actions and deniability. Either way, if true, this is an act of war. To properly frame this, the US considers a cyber attack the same as a kinetic attack. That means if America is hit by a cyber-attack, the US reserves the right to respond with bombs and missiles. Knowing this, Iran enjoys the same range of options. However, there is a catch. There is no evidence the attack came from the US. In fact, it is highly likely the cyber attack was carried out by Israel. My main suspicion rests on the fact that they announced it, and it wasn’t carried in American mainstream media. Further, Israel is desperate to escalate tensions between the US and Iran. These are exactly the false flag type operations Israel is well known for and I have no reason to expect they won’t continue. I’d go so far as to say that if pressed into a corner, Israel would kill Americans in a false flag if they thought it would bring America into the war.
All said, these developments do not deviate from my prior assessments. In fact, events are escalating right on schedule. Once the war in Gaza is wrapped up, Hezbollah will be the next target. Whether Hezbollah wants the war or not, Israel will create the pretext and initiate the war. Of course, that’s assuming Egypt can be bought off and acquiesces to Israel’s actions in Rafah. That isn’t a guarantee, but as of today, I don’t see significant signs that Egypt has made proper preparations for war beyond symbolic shows of force to placate the public. However, Egypt is capable of pulling off a surprise attack so it can’t be taken off the table. In addition, an attack into Rafah may be too much for Arab populations to tolerate and may lead to uprisings in places like Egypt. These protests could grow to the point they threaten the current governments, which at that point would be forced to act. Either way, we’ll soon see because it appears an Israeli attack into Rafah is now imminent. For now, I believe Israel’s Arab neighbors are bought off enough that they’ll look the other way, but they’ll regret it as the will soon see Israel was planning to take them out too all along in due course. As for the US, I’d love for us to wash our hands of it, but we won’t. Our leaders are completely in the pocket of Israel. The only way this is averted is if Americans make it clear that under no circumstances will they support, engage in, pay for, or fight in another stupid unnecessary war in the Middle East. If your elected representatives are shilling for Israel…and most are…you need to send emails and make it clear you’ll be voting against them if they don’t put America first and keep us out. I know you think this is weak, but the pressure has already successfully held up funding. Let’s keep it on.
Till next time,
