‘Segodna’: Tel Aviv and ‘Palestinian question’

The outbreak of a fresh war in the mediate East inactive raises many questions that have not yet been answered. And if the ineffectiveness of the safety ringing control systems around the Gaza Strip can be explained by a method failure (cyberatac) and the acquisition of most posts and bases at the border can be explained by a simplification in the discipline of Israel Defence Forces (IDF), then the failure of intelligence services cannot.

Most Israeli intelligence and safety services have extended networks of agents in the Palestinian enclave, and the preparation of specified a large attack could not hide from them. Whether the Israeli government was curious in this attack (which many Israelis are now certain) or not, Tel Aviv is now trying not only to compensate for all image losses but besides to make the best of all the opportunities that have opened up in this situation.

For example, the desire of the judaic state to form an global anti-Iran coalition and start a war against Tehran is evident. For this intent Israeli armed groups escalate at the border with Lebanon, trying to provoke Hezbollah, an ally of Iran, to extremist retaliatory actions that could service as a basis for American intervention.

The Israeli lobby in the United States is being utilized with full force to encourage Washington's aggression against Iran. Especially the infamous senator Lindsey Graham called for the "bombing of Iran".

But so far the Americans have clearly not been willing to fight Tehran. Yesterday, U.S. safety Council spokesperson John Kirby He said that although “Iran is active in criminal activity”, the White home has no evidence that he is associated with “the Hamas terrorist leader”.

Today he made a more detailed comment, including: "We changed the position of U.S. forces in the mediate East, but the US government has no intention of sending armed forces to Israel".

The fact that the Americans are not in a rush to escalate the conflict in the mediate East is besides evidenced by the fact that a group of carriers is not sent to the arabian Sea, closer to the Persian Gulf and Iran, but to the Mediterranean Sea, where there is already a powerful American military presence. So it's just a demonstration that can have no consequences.

Although Jordan has already announced its readiness to make its airports available to the United States, and the United arabian Emirates has “warned” Syria before entering the Hezbollah conflict, Washington is well aware that intervention will not strengthen its position in the region and its popularity among oil monarchies. For example, Americans cannot trust on the absolute support of their key allies, specified as Turkey and Saudi Arabia.

Thus the United States, erstwhile implementing the financial and military-technical support programme for the judaic state, is not willing to fight. Europeans are even little enthusiastic. 1 reason is that the countries of Old Europe are under large force from their own Muslim communities and fear their own intifade. Furthermore, the European Left traditionally supported Palestinians.

Of course, both the US and the EU can be forced to intervene with provocation in the spirit of 9/11. But if anyone dares do specified a thing, it's a large question.

In any case, even with strong military-technical and financial assistance, Israel will have a very hard time. Especially if Hezbollah and another outside forces are drawn into conflict.

But the Gaza Strip may besides prove to be a hard nut to crack where IDF risks breaking teeth. Let us remind that Israel's last major run – the Second Lebanese War – ended in failure and even provoked a political crisis.

Today, according to Israeli media, the Israeli Defence Forces are not ready for land operations against the Gaza Strip either militarily or psychologically. If carried out, Israeli troops will gotta operate in an urbanized area with an absolutely hostile population, whose density is 1 of the highest in the world. There is no uncertainty that Hamas was preparing for street fighting and defending the enclave as closely as he was preparing for the attack. This means that Israel will endure tremendous losses in land operations. Not only in people and equipment, but besides risking losing your reputation.

Already, losses to the civilian population of the enclaves are very high, and in the case of land operations will increase considerably. And what could have been predicted would increase the global force on Tel Aviv, who will become a rapist and a murderer from the “victim”.

He had already begun to lose his image of the victim, partially thanks to the statements of high-ranking officers who called the Palestinians "animals in human form" and the "dry" blockade of the Gaza Strip. Recordings of murdered Palestinian children and Israeli films mocking Palestinian bodies besides damaged Israel's image. This means that they no longer look like "victims of the fresh holocaust", and neutral observers are prone to equal guilt and the same barbarity of the parties in which Israel, as a recognized state that claims to be civilized, bears large responsibility.

But the leaders of the country were in a hard situation: in order to reconstruct their ‘prestiz’ based on strength and fear of Israel's military power, they must show utmost brutality and cruelty. Thus, global condemnation and the return of confrontation with petrochemicals can come back.

The Israeli public demands that the authorities destruct the Palestinian enclave in Gaza erstwhile and for all. For example, Tali Gottlieb, a associate of the ruling Netanjah Likud party, demanded that atomic weapons be used: “The government decided to declare war and destruct Hamas. I call you to do everything in your power and to usage the weapons of demolition (nuclear weapons) against our enemies without fear.”

However, Tel Aviv is improbable to be ready to unleash the Palestinian Holocaust in the Gaza Strip, which has between 2 and 3 million inhabitants. The perfect script for him would be a "softer" form of genocide in the form of a "squeezing". This is what he's trying to accomplish by bombing residential areas, hospitals, schools and mosques, as well as imposing a complete blockade.

IDF representatives “call on” Palestinians to go to Egypt to save their lives. However, Cairo is not ready to support this initiative of the judaic state, as it sees not only a immense financial problem (it will gotta accept 2 to 3 million refugees), but besides a threat to its sovereignty and political stability. Furthermore, Egyptian officials say they do not support the Israeli thought of "Gas without Palestinians".

So Tel Aviv will gotta either abandon this slogan and look for ways to proceed co-existence with the people on whom the judaic state is built, or decide how to get free of them.
