Middle East Braces For Apocalyptic Conflict Between Israel And Hamas As Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman Declares “War Is Inevitable”
It appears that a major war between Israel and Hamas is imminent. For the past six months, Hamas has been staging violent protests along the Israeli border in an attempt to end the Israeli-Egyptian blockade. Those protests have escalated in recent weeks as Egyptian efforts to broker a long-term ceasefire have faltered. During these violent protests, large numbers of incendiary devices have been launched into Israel, and this has resulted in thousands of acres of land being burned on the Israeli side of the border. On Friday, approximately 14,000 Palestinians gathered along the border fence, and it was being reported that they were “throwing rocks, firebombs and grenades” at Israeli soldiers on the other side of the barrier. Needless to say, after six months of such violence Israeli patience is wearing very thin.
And now some members of the Israeli cabinet are openly advocating for war with Hamas. According to the Jerusalem Post, Israeli Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman believes that a “harsh IDF military strike against Hamas” is the only way to end the violence…
A harsh IDF military strike against Hamas is the only way to halt the continued Palestinian attacks against Israel, Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman said on Tuesday morning as he met in the south with some of his top military staff.
“Now is the time for decisions. My position is very clear: We must deal a heavy blow against Hamas. This is the only way to return the situation to its previous state and to reduce the level of violence to nearly zero,” Liberman said.
Ultimately the decision whether to strike Hamas or not will be made by the entire cabinet, but in Liberman’s mind it has gotten to the point where “war is inevitable”…
Liberman told the Hebrew language Ynet website that “We have reached the moment – we must strike Hamas with the hardest blow. We have made every effort and exhausted every possibility… War is inevitable.”
That is a very powerful statement to make, and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stopped just short of essentially saying the same thing on Sunday…
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday threatened “very painful blows” against Gaza’s Hamas rulers if they don’t halt protests along the perimeter fence that have led to clashes with Israeli troops.
Netanyahu said Israel is very close to waging a “different kind of activity” against the Islamic militants. He said “if it has any sense, Hamas will cease its fire and violent outbursts — now.”
And here is how another news outlet reported on Netanyahu’s comments…
Speaking at the beginning of the weekly Cabinet meeting Sunday, Netanyahu said that “Hamas has yet to get the message that if it fails to stop its aggression it will be halted through other means and it will be painful, very painful.”
Netanyahu’s comments came after mass protests on Friday, during which several Palestinians breached the border fence and attacked an IDF position. Five Palestinians were killed in the incident and two more were killed during the violent protest along the border fence.
So is there any chance that Hamas will stop the protests?
Absolutely not.
And it will probably just take one of two more extremely violent border protests such as the one that we witnessed on Friday to push Israel into action.
Of course the reality is that both sides are already exchanging fire. On both Monday and Tuesday, the Israeli air force struck targets in Gaza…
Earlier Tuesday, Israeli aircraft fired at a Palestinian terror cell as it launched firebomb balloons from the northern Gaza Strip into Israel. No casualties were reported.
The airstrike followed a similar incident on Monday, in which the IAF targeted a Hamas position in southern Gaza after Palestinian terrorists tried to plant explosives along the security fence on the border. One of the explosives exploded on the Gaza side of the fence. No injuries were reported, but the fence sustained some damage.
But what Liberman and Netanyahu are talking about would go far beyond such limited action.
What they are talking about would essentially be an invasion of Gaza with the intention of ending Hamas rule in the area.
Let’s talk about what such a scenario would mean for the Middle East as a whole. Hamas would fight back with everything that they have got, and it would be an extremely bloody conflict. Seeing an opportunity, Hezbollah would likely start striking Israel from the north, and the Israelis could suddenly find themselves fighting a war on two fronts. And since Hezbollah is heavily funded and supplied by Iran, it is easy to imagine Iran getting involved in the conflict as well.
And once missiles start flying back and forth between Israel and Iran, all hell could break loose.
If a major regional war erupts in the Middle East, the Trump administration will not hesitate to intervene. U.S. forces would be used to protect Israel, and such a move would inevitably unleash chaos and protests all over the globe.
We are just a hop, skip and jump away form World War 3, and most Americans don’t have a clue.
Once again, the eyes of the entire would will soon be glued on a tiny sliver of extremely important land in the Middle East, and we are going to watch a drama play out that will have enormous implications for the entire planet.
War is coming, and once it begins everything is going to change.

Exemplifies the spoiled rotton Americans who care nothing for human suffering, for which the US must accept responsibility. The US supports every corrupt, disgusting right-wing tin pot dictator and their para-military death squads in Central and South America.
Alabama evicted all of the Mexican laborers to open jobs for Americans. Within 24 hours, the farmers of Alabama were begging the legislature to reverse their stupid decision. The Americans who were sent to work the fields did not last half a day before they were quitting in total.

Why are you projecting my comments regarding a group of people escaping paramilitary death squads in Central America to supporting Muslim terrorism?
The US has a long and well documented history of supporting revolution, right-wing dictators, and paramilitary death squads in Central and South America. For example, Panama was originally a department (state) in Colombia. When the legislature of Colombia rejected the US revenue sharing proposal for the canal, the US dispatched troops, guns, and money to foment a revolution to make the Department of Panama an independent nation. Some years later, the conscience of the US persuaded the US Congress to pay Colombia, but not in a format that would benefit the people. Instead $1 million was paid to every member of the legislature, which in the early 1900s was an absolute fortune. These fortunate politicans at that instant became the 1/100 of 1% who now control at least 85% of all land in Colombia. Do you see how we perpetuate the conflicts decade after decade?

These waves of immigrants smashing through the southern border are the beginning of what Rome experienced with the Visigoth invasion. The end result will be the same. Washington will be sacked.
An already bankrupt state will find it impossible to meet the demands of legions of new indigents. When the federal checks bounce, it is all over.

One of my favourite quotes from Cicero. It is now almost 2000years old, yet it could have been written for the modern West.
“A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.”
The unwashed, poorly armed invaders at our borders, would be no threat at all, were it not for the fifth column within our society. It dominates the media, speaking lies and spreading confusion; corrupts the government against its own people; destroys freedom of speech, outlawing dissent; spies upon, tricks and undermines its own citizens. It has turned patriotism into a vice; disloyalty into a virtue. It favours sodomy and perversion, whilst scorning family values. It favours the lazy and inept over the hardworking and productive. It has indeed rotted the soul of the Christian west.

Antius I had a long conversation with a Honduran yesterday. He has been in the U.S. more than twenty years. He did the process and has legal status. He is against the invasion.
He sees the U.S. as I do, a life boat that can be swamped.

Maybe I generalise more than I should. But I wonder which way the Honduran voted?

Good question. That’s why the west is doomed. It has no mechanism to defend its own because it has no pride in its own history and culture. And once the intruders are of such quantity as to have a significant presence, it’s too late. There’s no voting majority anymore to solve the issue.

Throughout history revolutions DO occur. You have to admit that “populism” is rising fast (next weekend another election to watch in Hessen/Germany). This is going to end in civil war. But first we need a good economic crash.

That is the only way this is going to be sorted out. And since in the west almost everybody is still fat and happy it will take along time till it gets ugly enough. And once it gets ugly enough I’m not so sure I want to be around because I might as well be a receiving minority by then.

Interesting fact. The Mafia dates back to the 14th century in Sicily. For all but the past century, it was a patriotic underground movement, which protected Sicilians; first from the Arabs and then from the Spanish empire.
Our situation today is not unlike that of the Sicilians under occupation. We need an underground movement to prepare for the coming war. We need a Mafia.
