ISRAEL ON-ALERT Syria: A war with no winners, millions of losers, a threat to the entire Middle East! On October 30, 2015, I wrote the following in an effort to describe the current status of Russian, Iranian, Syrian Forces, ISIS and Hezbollah in Syria and Lebanon: 

Jerusalem, a “cup of trembling”? (Zechariah 12:2)

The war in Syria: A mix of desert warfare, guerilla warfare and modern military units. Debka files describes the latest ISIS victories. ISIS seizes big Russian-Syrian T-4 air base ISIS seizes big Russian Syrian T-4 air base Islamic State forces pushed their assault forward to retake the central Syrian town of Palmyra Monday, Dec. 12. By evening, they had entered the big Russian-Syrian T-4 air base outside the town, carrying off substantial quantities of Russian armaments. Reporting this, debkafile’s military sources add that the booty they snatched included different types of ground-to-ground missiles as well as anti-tank and anti-air rockets. Striking from Sinai, a suicide bomber blew himself up a Copic church in Cairo during a service, killing at least 29 worshippers. There have been other recent attacks on Egypt by ISIS, in and from Sinai, and even an occasional attack on Southern Israel. Within Israel of late there has been no major damage or casualties. The attacks mostly act as a reminder that, with the support of local Bedouin tribesmen, ISIS has the ability to attack if, where and when they wish to do so. Due to the obvious disarray, lack of coordination and manpower, the so-called ‘western coalition’, such as it is, only seems to make the situation worse. Until there is a decision on who should be put in power and a guarantee of control of the country, they are just prolonging the suffering of the civilian population. Given the intent of ISIS to kill men, women and children alike in order to terrorize, control and purge dissenters, protecting them in place is impossible! The US activity is so uncoordinated with reality as to be ridiculous. US soldiers are put in harms way without clear directives and the probable success of their mission. Whatever success they may have is due to their own abilities on the ground, almost in spite of the directives of the high command. US Defense Secretary Ashton Carter, who arrived in Baghdad Sunday, Dec. 11, was assigned by the Obama administration to make a last effort to reactivate the Mosul campaign…. Even if Carter can wave a magic wand and resolve all these issues, the momentum and high hopes that actuated the Mosul campaign when it started have been lost and can hardly be recovered before Barack Obama leaves the White House. Read the original article for additional and more detailed information describing the current situation. For the above reasons, the statement made by Israeli news sources that Israel must act independently to protect itself is truly an understatement. There is no one Israel can align with that has a clear strategy and is a dependable coalition partner for carrying the war through to a defined (and agreed) goal.

THE WAR AGAINST INNOCENTS

Money from the EU funds illegal building in Israel, within Jerusalem and in surrounding suburbs.

Israel has invaded the Gaza Strip after Hamas refused both the Egyptian proposed ceasefire and to honor the humanitarian ceasefire Israel agreed to today. Israel had hoped to be able to stop the rocket fire without a ground invasion. In the end there was no other option which would allow them to give a measure of protection to the Israeli civilians now living under constant missile bombardment. This is a defensive war with the intent to destroy Hamas’ ability to wage unceasing war on Israel. 

Let the [political] Games Begin…

FreedomOutpost.Com writer Michael Snyder makes the valid argument that Hamas, in aiming its missiles directly at Israel’s nuclear reactor is guilty of attempting to create nuclear holocaust in Israel and the Middle East — in violation of the Geneva Convention, Article 2 (1) of the International Convention for the Suppression of Acts of Nuclear Terrorism. Hamas has clearly stated publicly that it is deliberately taking aim at the Dimona reactor, which of course has a significant level of protection. There is irrefutable evidence that they are making every effort to break through the Israeli anti-missile Shield and damage the reactor, with intended unimaginable consequences for the Gazans as well as for the Israelis. “After the horrors of the Fukushima nuclear disaster, how insane do you have to be to fire missiles directly at a major nuclear facility? No matter what side you are on in the conflict between the Israelis and the Palestinians, everyone should be able to agree that it is utter madness for Hamas to fire rockets at the Dimona nuclear installation in the Negev. The intent, of course, was to destroy the Dimona facility and create a horrific nuclear disaster in the heart of Israel.“ In his article entitled “Hamas Just Attempted To Create A Horrific Nuclear Disaster In The Heart Of Israel” , intent, effort and motive are clearly laid out. The question then becomes, how responsible are the world leaders who obviously know this and yet continue to restrain Israel in its attempt to destroy Hamas before it succeeds? Or once again will it be “we didn’t know”, “there was nothing we could do”. THEY DO, and THERE IS! And the time is NOW!

ALL ISRAEL IS THE FRONT

When many, if not most, people including the world’s leading decision-makers do not trust US intelligence reports; when even more doubt the motivations and veracity of the US President and his administration, starting a war which could release untold quantities of deadly chemical weapons into the atmosphere of the Middle East must be deemed certifiably insane. Experts: Don’t bomb chemical weapon sites in Syria

UPDATED: The Other Side: Assad Set-up so that Obama would have a Reason to Bomb Syria? There is as yet independently unsubstantiated evidence for the involvement of the Jabhat al-Nusrah al-Qaeda offshoot in the chemical weapons attack in Syria, at least as much or more evidence than there is for the Syrian army involvement. I would ask why Syria would OR the rebels would fire on the UN inspectors after Syria invited them in (and, as the West claims, already had time to clear the site of evidence). The rebels would absolutely benefit from “proving Syria’s guilt”.
