Let us be realists. Gaza is in ruins. The Israelis cannot kill every member of Hamas without exterminating 2.3 million prisoners in Gaza, nearly half of them children. That is not possible.
And, even if they did they would still have to murder 4 million left in Occupied Palestine and 2 million living in what is called Israel which is even more impossible.
So, why is Shitrael still murdering civilians, dropping bombs, sending their cowardly drones to shoot toddlers, executing and assassinating doctors, journalists, medical and aid workers?
If as some claim Hamas has been neutered why does Israel keep bombing? Because this is not a war but genocide. It really is that simple. It has always been colonial genocide but the feeble excuse they were targeting Hamas no longer holds and still they keep on killing.
Or are the shitraelis just deranged lunatics enraged that they have failed to destroy either Hamas or Hezbollah and wanting to shed as much blood as they can and to eradicate younger generations?
I don’t think it’s correct that it’s the “Jewish” lobby as many Jews are opposed to Israel’s policies and some even opposed to the concept of a Jewish state. It is the Zionist ideology that is the issue. Judaism is a religion thousands of years old where as Zionism is a political ideology barely a century old and created by atheists.
Syria is being completely neutered by Israeli airstrikes. They'll leave nothing because "terrorists" groups continue in the Syrian area. Once Israel finishes bombing, they'll consolidate their base from southern Syria. Turkey will take the north and drive the Kurds toward Iraq. The U.S. will continue with their oil extraction in the NE. Very little of Syria will be left to HTS. The former Syria will simply be a failed state of smallish left-over portions. The Palestinians in Gaza will continue to be exterminated. Israel will sell land in Gaza to Israeli settlers and begin developing oil deposits off the Gazan coast. Once they've pacified the area under an iron fist, they'll complete a pipeline from Qatar. Israel will retain conquered land in Lebanon. The West Bank will soon experience what Gaza is experiencing...and nothing will happen to Israel. The world is cowardly and lacks moral principles. They simply fear the advanced and more sophisticated weaponry of Israel aka the U.S.A.
That (bomb them) "back to the Stone Age" sentiment originated with U.S.A.F. General Curtis LeMay in 1965. Well known as a far right nuclear nut; the model for Gen. Turgidson in the movie "Dr. Strangelove." Such admirable inspiration for military extremists everywhere.
Let's take a broader view. When oppressors are able to suppress all routes to resistance, it sometimes happens that the oppressed find innovative ways to resist. Can such a thing happen here? We might ask, what is available to Syrians, Lebanese, Iranians, etc that could seriously weaken Israel?
One thing that comes to mind is the poisoning of Israeli air and water systems with radioactive isotopes. Iran probably has such materials, and we can only wonder if that's the next tragedy to occur in these horrible times. But think about it. Israel has itself imposed the rule that a country is permitted genocide in the process of "defending itself." Would such a response conform to such a rule? I can't help but wonder how the Jews can be so victorious without the rest of the world having its say.
The "victory" of the Jews is not just the subjugation of the landscapes of Palestine, Lebanon, Jordan, Syria, and possibly Iran, it's also the subjugation of the western mindscapes that make all their military victories possible. Their constant attacks on our freedoms by the passage of more and more laws in their demands for "Jewish rights" are obvious examples, and of course we have the facts that they convinced western governments that genocide is the right, moral thing to do and that the second Adolf is a Jew.
Such a miracle would require violence. Are you prepared for that? But I share the sentiment. Why should Jews be allowed to commit genocide? Their second one now after the Nakba. Why can't God do something to stop it?
USA/Israel perfectly played the 'divide et impera' strategy. Future historians will be full of appreciation. Note, that also Europe disintegrated on ethnic faultlines as desired after the USSR collapse. Probably the concept is also employed at the Western populations themselves.
Jonathan Cook is one of those delightful elements who bring some glaring sunshine onto the evil doings of the West, which are now close to home, as anything far away has been done already.
I find the speed with which the bulletin is read makes proper understanding almost impossible. I can't remember whether this torrent is necessary but fewer words and a little more measured a delivery would help.
A very depressing bulletin and analysis and I'm sad that Israel is so much in the US's pocket - it's not exactly 'How to make friends and influence people' but it seems to be how the US wants it and will leave Israel permanently a pariah, terrorist state.
Agreed, but to be even more precise, the US is in the pocket of Judaism via the US Jewish Lobby. That lobby consists of the US Jewish leaders of nearly 400 US Jewish organizations, funded to the level of billions of dollars. Here's a list, the "smoking gun" that shows us who the perpetrators are:
A depressing report. I'm sad for Syria. President Al-Assad never had a chance to "inherit" the family dominance of Syria and make moves to modernize and moderate governance. The goddammed demented Colonial Zionists and their obedient servant USA made sure of that. President Al-Assad had his hands tied from Day One...and I cannot help but be disappointed that the endlessly superlative Mr. Cook, who termed President Al-Assad "dictator" early on in this piece, was unable or unwilling to take on the "context" that I always find to be paramount to any understanding of, in this case, the Syrian tragedy orchestrated by the Colonial Zionist vermin.
The lights are dimming for Palestine and Iran.... I'm sad.
We are experiencing the wrath of Judaism, as vile as was the wrath Jews themselves received from their own God, as described in their sacred texts. In fact, this is the second time Jews have conquered the holy lands. The first was at the behest of their God to enter the land of Canaan and slaughter indigenous peoples. They are doing it now for a second time. And we can't do anything about it.
Thank you Jonathan - essential reading - clear & comprehensive & what a contrast to the completely distorted & farcical & irresponsible coverage & analysis by mainstream media.

Fabulous analysis. Mabrook, Jonathan! God bless you!
👏👏👏
Sadly true. I feel sick.

Concise & accurate.

The idea of a greater Israel fills me with horror.!
I guess Jolani will turn if offered more money?
The world is still waiting for a miracle that exceeds all capabilities

Perfect break down of the true events of Syrias collapse and takeover by a known terrorist backed by his new handlers the west.
