The Invasion of Gaza: “Operation Cast Lead”, Part of a Broader Israeli Military-Intelligence Agenda
- Text size
Michel Chossudovsky
Global Research
January 5, 2009
The aerial bombings and the ongoing ground invasion of Gaza by Israeli ground forces must be analysed in a historical context. Operation "Cast Lead" is a carefully planned undertaking, which is part of a broader military-intelligence agenda first formulated by the government of Prime Minister Ariel Sharon in 2001:
"Sources in the defense establishment said Defense Minister Ehud Barak instructed the Israel Defense Forces to prepare for the operation over six months ago, even as Israel was beginning to negotiate a ceasefire agreement with Hamas."(Barak Ravid, Operation "Cast Lead": Israeli Air Force strike followed months of planning, Haaretz, December 27, 2008)
It was Israel which broke the truce on the day of the US presidential elections, November 4:
"Israel used this distraction to break the ceasefire between itself and Hamas by bombing the Gaza strip. Israel claimed this violation of the ceasefire was to prevent Hamas from digging tunnels into Israeli territory.
The very next day, Israel launched a terrorizing siege of Gaza, cutting off food, fuel, medical supplies and other necessities in an attempt to “subdue” the Palestinians while at the same time engaging in armed incursions.
In response, Hamas and others in Gaza again resorted to firing crude, homemade, and mainly inaccurate rockets into Israel. During the past seven years, these rockets have been responsible for the deaths of 17 Israelis. Over the same time span, Israeli Blitzkrieg assaults have killed thousands of Palestinians, drawing worldwide protest but falling on deaf ears at the UN." (Shamus Cooke, The Massacre in Palestine and the Threat of a Wider War, Global Research, December 2008)
Planned Humanitarian Disaster
On December 8, US Deputy Secretary of State John Negroponte was in Tel Aviv for discussions with his Israeli counterparts including the director of Mossad, Meir Dagan.
"Operation Cast Lead" was initiated two days day after Christmas. It was coupled with a carefully designed international Public Relations campaign under the auspices of Israel’s Foreign Ministry.
Hamas’ military targets are not the main objective. Operation "Cast Lead" is intended, quite deliberately, to trigger civilian casualities.
What we are dealing with is a "planned humanitarian disaster" in Gaza in a densly populated urban area. (See map below)
The longer term objective of this plan, as formulated by Israeli policy makers, is the expulsion of Palestinians from Palestinian lands:
"Terrorize the civilian population, assuring maximal destruction of property and cultural resources… The daily life of the Palestinians must be rendered unbearable: They should be locked up in cities and towns, prevented from exercising normal economic life, cut off from workplaces, schools and hospitals, This will encourage emigration and weaken the resistance to future expulsions" Ur Shlonsky, quoted by Ghali Hassan, Gaza: The World’s Largest Prison, Global Research, 2005)
"Operation Justified Vengeance"
A turning point has been reached. Operation "Cast Lead" is part of the broader military-intelligence operation initiated at the outset of the Ariel Sharon government in 2001. It was under Sharon’s "Operation Justified Vengeance" that F-16 fighter planes were initially used to bomb Palestinian cities.
"Operation Justified Vengeance" was presented in July 2001 to the Israeli government of Ariel Sharon by IDF chief of staff Shaul Mofaz, under the title "The Destruction of the Palestinian Authority and Disarmament of All Armed Forces".
"A contingency plan, codenamed Operation Justified Vengeance, was drawn up last June [2001] to reoccupy all of the West Bank and possibly the Gaza Strip at a likely cost of "hundreds" of Israeli casualties." (Washington Times, 19 March 2002).
According to Jane’s ‘Foreign Report’ (July 12, 2001) the Israeli army under Sharon had updated its plans for an "all-out assault to smash the Palestinian authority, force out leader Yasser Arafat and kill or detain its army".
"Bloodshed Justification"
The "Bloodshed Justification" was an essential component of the military-intelligence agenda. The killing of Palestinian civilians was justified on "humanitarian grounds." Israeli military operations were carefully timed to coincide with the suicide attacks:
The assault would be launched, at the government’s discretion, after a big suicide bomb attack in Israel, causing widespread deaths and injuries, citing the bloodshed as justification. (Tanya Reinhart, Evil Unleashed, Israel’s move to destroy the Palestinian Authority is a calculated plan, long in the making, Global Research, December 2001, emphasis added)
The Dagan Plan
"Operation Justified Vengeance" was also referred to as the "Dagan Plan", named after General (ret.) Meir Dagan, who currently heads Mossad, Israel’s intelligence agency.
Reserve General Meir Dagan was Sharon’s national security adviser during the 2000 election campaign. The plan was apparently drawn up prior to Sharon’s election as Prime Minister in February 2001. "According to Alex Fishman writing in Yediot Aharonot, the Dagan Plan consisted in destroying the Palestinian authority and putting Yasser Arafat ‘out of the game’." (Ellis Shulman, "Operation Justified Vengeance": a Secret Plan to Destroy the Palestinian Authority, March 2001):
"As reported in the Foreign Report [Jane] and disclosed locally by Maariv, Israel’s invasion plan — reportedly dubbed Justified Vengeance — would be launched immediately following the next high-casualty suicide bombing, would last about a month and is expected to result in the death of hundreds of Israelis and thousands of Palestinians. (Ibid, emphasis added)
The "Dagan Plan" envisaged the so-called "cantonization" of the Palestinian territories whereby the West Bank and Gaza would be totally cut off from one other, with separate "governments" in each of the territories. Under this scenario, already envisaged in 2001, Israel would:
"negotiate separately with Palestinian forces that are dominant in each territory-Palestinian forces responsible for security, intelligence, and even for the Tanzim (Fatah)." The plan thus closely resembles the idea of "cantonization" of Palestinian territories, put forth by a number of ministers." Sylvain Cypel, The infamous ‘Dagan Plan’ Sharon’s plan for getting rid of Arafat, Le Monde, December 17, 2001)
The Dagan Plan has established continuity in the military-intelligence agenda. In the wake of the 2000 elections, Meir Dagan was assigned a key role. "He became Sharon’s "go-between" in security issues with President’s Bush’s special envoys Zinni and Mitchell." He was subsequently appointed Director of the Mossad by Prime Minister Ariel Sharon in August 2002. In the post-Sharon period, he remained head of Mossad. He was reconfirmed in his position as Director of Israeli Intelligence by Prime Minister Ehud Olmert in June 2008.
Meir Dagan, in coordination with his US counterparts, has been in charge of various military-intelligence operations. It is worth noting that Meir Dagan as a young Colonel had worked closely with defense minister Ariel Sharon in the raids on Palestinian settlements in Beirut in 1982. The 2009 ground invasion of Gaza, in many regards, bear a canny resemblance to the 1982 military operation led by Sharon and Dagan.
Continuity: From Sharon to Olmert
It is important to focus on a number of key events which have led up to the killings in Gaza under "Operation Cast Lead":
1. The assassination in November 2004 of Yaser Arafat. This assassination had been on the drawing board since 1996 under "Operation Fields of Thorns". According to an October 2000 document "prepared by the security services, at the request of then Prime Minister Ehud Barak, stated that ‘Arafat, the person, is a severe threat to the security of the state [of Israel] and the damage which will result from his disappearance is less than the damage caused by his existence’". (Tanya Reinhart, Evil Unleashed, Israel’s move to destroy the Palestinian Authority is a calculated plan, long in the making, Global Research, December 2001. Details of the document were published in Ma’ariv, July 6, 2001.).
Arafat’s assassination was ordered in 2003 by the Israeli cabinet. It was approved by the US which vetoed a United Nations Security Resolution condemning the 2003 Israeli Cabinet decision. Reacting to increased Palestinian attacks, in August 2003, Israeli Defense Minister Shaul Mofaz declared "all out war" on the militants whom he vowed "marked for death."
"In mid September, Israel’s government passed a law to get rid of Arafat. Israel’s cabinet for political security affairs declared it "a decision to remove Arafat as an obstacle to peace." Mofaz threatened; "we will choose the right way and the right time to kill Arafat." Palestinian Minister Saeb Erekat told CNN he thought Arafat was the next target. CNN asked Sharon spokesman Ra’anan Gissan if the vote meant expulsion of Arafat. Gissan clarified; "It doesn’t mean that. The Cabinet has today resolved to remove this obstacle. The time, the method, the ways by which this will take place will be decided separately, and the security services will monitor the situation and make the recommendation about proper action." (See Trish Shuh, Road Map for a Decease Plan, www.mehrnews.com November 9 2005
The assassination of Arafat was part of the 2001 Dagan Plan. In all likelihood, it was carried out by Israeli Intelligence. It was intended to destroy the Palestinian Authority, foment divisions within Fatah as well as between Fatah and Hamas. Mahmoud Abbas is a Palestinian quisling. He was installed as leader of Fatah, with the approval of Israel and the US, which finance the Palestinian Authority’s paramilitary and security forces.
2. The removal, under the orders of Prime Minister Ariel Sharon in 2005, of all Jewish settlements in Gaza. A Jewish population of over 7,000 was relocated.
"It is my intention [Sharon] to carry out an evacuation – sorry, a relocation – of settlements that cause us problems and of places that we will not hold onto anyway in a final settlement, like the Gaza settlements…. I am working on the assumption that in the future there will be no Jews in Gaza," Sharon said." (CBC, March 2004)
The issue of the settlements in Gaza was presented as part of Washington’s "road map to peace". Celebrated by the Palestinians as a "victory", this measure was not directed against the Jewish settlers. Quite the opposite: It was part of the overall covert operation, which consisted in transforming Gaza into a concentration camp. As long as Jewish settlers were living inside Gaza, the objective of sustaining a large barricaded prison territory could not be achieved. The Implementation of "Operation Cast Lead" required "no Jews in Gaza".
3. The building of the infamous Apartheid Wall was decided upon at the beginning of the Sharon government. (See Map below).
4. The next phase was the Hamas election victory in January 2006. Without Arafat, the Israeli military-intelligence architects knew that Fatah under Mahmoud Abbas would loose the elections. This was part of the scenario, which had been envisaged and analyzed well in advance.
With Hamas in charge of the Palestinian authority, using the pretext that Hamas is a terrorist organization, Israel would carry out the process of "cantonization" as formulated under the Dagan plan. Fatah under Mahmoud Abbas would remain formally in charge of the West Bank. The duly elected Hamas government would be confined to the Gaza strip.
- A d v e r t i s e m e n t
Ground Attack
On January 3, Israeli tanks and infantry entered Gaza in an all out ground offensive:
"The ground operation was preceded by several hours of heavy artillery fire after dark, igniting targets in flames that burst into the night sky. Machine gun fire rattled as bright tracer rounds flashed through the darkness and the crash of hundreds of shells sent up streaks of fire. (AP, January 3, 2009)
Israeli sources have pointed to a lengthy drawn out military operation. It "won’t be easy and it won’t be short," said Defense Minister Ehud Barak in a TV address.
Israel is not seeking to oblige Hamas "to cooperate". What we are dealing with is the implementation of the "Dagan Plan" as initially formulated in 2001, which called for:
"an invasion of Palestinian-controlled territory by some 30,000 Israeli soldiers, with the clearly defined mission of destroying the infrastructure of the Palestinian leadership and collecting weaponry currently possessed by the various Palestinian forces, and expelling or killing its military leadership. (Ellis Shulman, op cit, emphasis added)
The broader question is whether Israel in consultation with Washington is intent upon triggering a wider war.
Mass expulsion could occur at some later stage of the ground invasion, were the Israelis to open up Gaza’s borders to allow for an exodus of population. Expulsion was referred to by Ariel Sharon as the "a 1948 style solution". For Sharon "it is only necessary to find another state for the Palestinians. -’Jordan is Palestine’ – was the phrase that Sharon coined." (Tanya Reinhart, op cit)

Great article !

Of course the invasion of Gaza is a small part of the Jewish grandios plan of world domination. They´ve taken out Iraq, Egypt, Syria, Lebenon and even tried to subdue land in Georgia. At this time they want very much to take out Iran. In the long term they will not prevail. However, in the short term they seem to be gaining ground. My opinion is that the only way to stop them would be to have Russia and China engage the problem if and when Israel/USA attack Iran. Both Russia and China have interests there and it would be legitimate for them to join together and fight the USA/Israeli machine. It might interest many to learn that Israel almost began an attack upon Iran in late September but was stopped by and grass roots peace movement in the USA. They will not give up.

how would israel in consultation with washington intend on triggering a broader war? not why, but how would they pull that off? a 3rd party coming to the defense of palestine? no country seems to want to stand up to this, no one has yet, so why would someone intervene now? how else would they trigger a broader war?

#1 Very good article indeed!
#2 You are dead on with Russia and China getting involved. It has been fortold in the HOLY BIBLE. It WILL happen and all will know that the GOD of the bible is the only true GOD because only he has foretold the end of the age. Notice I did not say the end of time, because it will only be the beginning of the true peace on earth.

Big bad Israel, all the size of Conn. Look at the land the arabians hold. Israel celebrated its 3000
birthday. Don’t people realize archaeology has the Hebrew’s in the land for 3+Thousand years.
Do you think they are just going to give up? 1 thing for sure Alex Jones is full of Israel haters.
All those who fall upon Israel shall be cut to pieces. The 1 true GOD placed them people in
that land. God himself will fight for his people. Iran, look at what the mad man is saying
concerning Israel? They should have already taken out Iran (Persia). People don’t have a clue
what God’s word says concerning whats coming on the world.

You are right on. A lot of people don’t understand or want to acknowledge that Israel is the promised land God gave to the Israelites from the beginning of time. The Palestinian people are the direct descendants of Ishmael the bastard child from Abraham and Haggar (Sarah’s handmaiden) Haggar and Ishmael were cast away after Sarah and Abraham had their own son (Issac) and they became the Palestinian people. Forever cursed.
It’s so amazing watching what we’ve read in the bible for years unfolding before our eyes. And also being the ones who know how it ends!

Everything points to a wider war. Backing isreal sets the cia up for an attack against the us. It’s perfect for their agenda of martial law. What is happening to the palestinians is happening to the us, only more slowly. Both of us are in prison, only the palestinians know it. We’ll soon be occupied with troops on the streets, just like they are. The isreali/us citizens that are in and behind our congress are using the palestinians as a role model for how we’re gonna be ruled. That map above showed “refugee” camps—fema camps. The parrallels are there. Soon we will be fighting just like the palestinians are–for our lives. The one good thing we have is places we can go to organize and regroup.

Here we go again. Yahweh, the Jewish god, gave the Jews the right to kill anyone who is not Jew, and to steal their land. To be against what Israel is doing to the Palestinians is to be called anti-semetic. No, this is wrong. To hate what Israel is doing to the Palestinians is anti-Zionist. I am anti-Zionist. I do not worship Yahweh.

I have learned that the conspiracy is greater than we think. UFO’s are shuttling back and forth between the USA and ISRAEL aligning themselves for a complete attack on Iran, and Syria. They have made it clear that they will use space ships to knock out Russia if it tries to back Iran.
This is not just an attack by the NWO, it includes the UWO (Universal World Order).

No-one is going to return in anyone’s lifetime!!! 4000yrs. later, no messiah…2000yrs. later no savior…1400yrs. later no grand Mahdi!!! 2012 is nothing more than a Y2K scare tactic on History Channel. Nostradamas…yawn…read James Randi’s book “The Mask of Notradamas”. Tears Nostradamas down. If you controlled TRILLIONS of $’s, I would venture to say that anyone could make prophecy a reality and implement a plan of action. So there it is…MONEY!!! When your dead your dead(Genesis 3:19)!!! If youin’s believe in Israel so f---in’ much…f---in’ move there or donate to AIPAC, because if you “BELIEVE”…how can you say God loves “ALL” mankind except those “Filthy” Arabs???

Yeah, better not let the people know that Israel uses chemical weapons in Gaza!!
Really, you guys suck!! attack the media for propagating lies but don’t allow free-speech yourself!
This website really sucks for censoring unwanted oppinions and comments!
Although the article is great – thanks for that by the way!

I agree with you I am being censored by this site when i attempt to communicate what a conspiratorial nut-job Alex Jones is and the wack job authors he uses, and wack job nuts like you that say Chemical warfare is being used by Israel. My only interet in using this site is to Fu_ck up Alex, his fellow travelers and nut jobs like you.

I am also finding that my comments are not appearing. I am no longer bothering to try as often to post because obviously my opinion isn’t being heard. What I don’t understand though is why the comments from the religious point of view, those that seem from the unstable,from the ignorant, rude or insulting, and negative always seem to fill these threads……
January 5th, 2009 at 4:02 pm
Yeah, RB, everyone immediately knows what you are, even without you admitting it.
Either you should get a life, or what is more likely, you’re simply doing your job.
I understand that and you’re welcome to waste your time as often and as long as you wish.
We don’t even care. Some “feed the troll” – but most people – me 2, except for this one and only post – simply ignore you. But I must say, kind of intelligent how you try to take over other comments and try to turn it into something of use for you.
By the way, just the fact that you’re probably paid for doing what you do, makes this site to something that someone even spends money to try to “f---” with, to use your words.
So to them it must be of some value, right?
And please don’t say you’re not paid to do this, because that would simply make you even more pathetic!
And just to make my point again:
ISRAEL USES WHITE PHOSPHORUS OVER GAZA AGAINST INNOCENT CHILDREN, WOMEN AND MEN!!!!

12 writing rules of the Great International Media about the news when it came from Middle East:
1)Israel have the right to kill civilians. This must be called “legitimate defense”;
2)When Palestinians or Lebaneses causes civilians deaths, this must be called “terrorism”;
3)In the Middle East “the Arabs are always whose attack first” and “always the Israel that defends”. Its prohibited one name it retaliation or revenge;
4)When Israel kills civilians in mass or harnesses them over years and years, Western, other Arabs and Muslims people can asks at times for more discretion. This is called “Reaction of the International Community”;
5)The Palestinians and the Lebaneses do not have the right to capture inside of Israelis military installations any of it’s sentries or ranks in combat. If this happen must be called “Sequestration of defenseless people.”;
6)Israel has the right to kidnap at any time and in any place how many Palestinian and Lebanese it desire. Currently they are more than 10,000, 300 of which are children and a thousand are women. Any test of culpability is not necessary. Israel has the right to keep them indefinitely kidnapped imprisoned, this must be called “Arrest of terrorists”;
7)When the word “Hezbollah” is mentioned, is mandatory the same phrase contain the expression “supported and financed by the Syrian and the Iran” and omit, for example that most Hamas’ “heavy” weapons are still handmade ;
8)When “Israel” would be mentioned is forbidden any mention to the expression “supported and financed by U.S.A since ever”. The inobservance of these last 2 rules could give the (real) impression that the relation of forces of the present conflict are unproportional and that Israel never by anymeans had it’s existence in danger;
9)When Israel would be mentioned, “Occupied Territories”, “Not followed UNO’s Resolutions“, “Human Rights” or “Convention of Geneva” are forbidden expressions”;
10)As much the Palestinians as the Lebaneses must always showed as “cowards”, who hide themselves behind civilian population, “using it as shield”. When they sleep in their houses, with their families, this must called “Cowardice”. Since ever, Israel have the right to chase with bombs and missiles the adversaries leaders where they are sleeping. This must be called “Surgical Action High Precision with unavoidable casualties” (sic);
11)It must be considered a undisputable fact that Israelis talk and write English, French, Spanish, Portuguese or any western idiom better than Arabs. Therefore they and those who support them must be more interviewed and have more chances than Arabs to explain the Rules of Writing (of 1 the 10) to the great public. This must be called “journalistic Neutrality” and
12)All people who are not in accordance with the above “Writing Rules” must be called “anti-semitics (sic) Terrorists of High Danger”.

#52 good point. before this gaza conflict oil producing countries were practically to the point of giving oil away. oil dropped $100/bbl since the summer time and even cutting back on production didnt stop the price from dropping. now all of sudden oil is on the rise again, why? since when are gaza or Israel major oil producers?

I agree with #53. People who believe that the U.S. should not be involved in the rest of the world’s problems need to understand that the situation in Gaza is a direct result of U.S. intervention, from the establishment of Israel to the aid to Israel to the weapons sold to Israel which are manufactured here and now being used to commit genocide. This is just one example of the effects of covert and overt U.S. intervention in world affairs.

Barry Rubin: On the Ground in Gaza
As the ground offensive begins, Barry Rubin reports from Tel Aviv. He is the director of the Global Research in International Affairs (GLORIA) Center and editor of the Middle East Review of International Affairs (MERIA) Journal. His latest books are The Israel-Arab Reader (seventh edition), with Walter Laqueur (Viking-Penguin); the paperback edition of The Truth About Syria (Palgrave-Macmillan); A Chronological History of Terrorism, with Judy Colp Rubin, (Sharpe); and The Long War for Freedom: The Arab Struggle for Democracy in the Middle East (Wiley). (To read and subscribe to MERIA and other GLORIA Center publications or to order books, visit www dot gloriacenter dot org .)
Israel didn’t want to attack the Gaza Strip from the ground or from the air. Hamas, which had long broken the ceasefire, canceled it altogether. Then it began large-scale attacks on Israel. This is a war of defense. And it is being conducted just 30 miles from here, Israel’s main city.
According to the just-released Israeli government statement on the offensive: “The objective of this stage is to destroy the terrorist infrastructure of the Hamas in the area of operation, while taking control of some of rocket launching area used by the Hamas, in order to greatly reduce the quantity of rockets fired at Israel and Israeli civilians.
“The operation will…strike a direct and hard blow against the Hamas while increasing the deterrent strength of the Israel Defense Forces, in order to bring about an improved and more stable security situation for residents of southern Israel over the long term.”
Even as the 2006 war was continuing, the Israel Defense Force was evaluating the mistakes made in Lebanon—helicopters needed better short-range munitions, improved air-ground coordination, care in using tanks unsupported by infantry, and so on…
It should be remembered that Israel withdrew completely from the Gaza Strip, dismantled all settlements, and wished the Palestinians good luck. The Palestinian Authority (PA) was not up to the challenge. It could and would not change its corrupt and incompetent ways. U.S. policy insisted that Hamas be allowed to run in the elections, even though it did not meet the standard of accepting the 1993 Israel-PLO agreement. Hamas won.
But Hamas invoked the radical Islamist policy of “one man, one vote, one time.” It staged a coup and kicked out its PA and Fatah rivals. Rather than focusing on economic development or even maintaining peace to build up its own power, Hamas pursued its strategy of permanent war against Israel. Children’s programs taught the kiddies that they should grow up to be suicide bombers and kill Jews. Hamas soldiers, or their junior allies, fired rockets and mortars at Israel. And of course Hamas staged a cross-border raid and kidnapped an Israeli soldier.
In spite of this, many in the West think Israel has some kind of choice in this matter, that diplomacy was an option, that Hamas could be reasoned with. Those people have clearly never heard a Hamas leader speak or read anything on the group’s Arabic-language websites. In a real sense, Hamas is more extreme than Usama bin Ladin, who periodically offers his enemy the chance to repent. Hamas’s goal is genocidal.
This has nothing to do with being dovish or hawkish, left or right. For those who are the biggest peaceniks—and this is true in Israel—know that Hamas must be defeated if Israel is ever to make peace with the PA. Even the PA knows it, and that’s what they say in private, no matter what they say in public…
Hamas wants nothing more than to be able to organize an underground to launch daily attacks on Israeli patrols going through the center of refugee camps. It should be remembered that, for better or worse, it was the Israeli military—not the politicians—who wanted to withdraw from the Gaza Strip for tactical reasons. It was easier to hold a defensive line in strength than to play into Hamas’s strong points by trying to control all the territory…
Often, nowadays, it seems as if all history is being rewritten when it comes to Israel. In World War Two, allied air forces carpet-bombed cities even though there were no military bases in civilian areas. In France alone, tens of thousands of civilians were killed by allied bombs that fell on their intended targets.
Even the Nazis didn’t put ammunition dumps in houses and use human shields. And up until now the blame for doing so would fall on those who deliberately and cynically sought to create civilian casualties in order to gain support for themselves
Up until now, a country whose neighbor fired across the border at its people and even staged cross-border raids had the right of self-defense.
Up until now, there has been a capability of understanding which group is inciting hatred, trying to turn children into robotic terrorists, calling for the extermination of another people, and committing aggression.
Many people, many journalists, many governments, and even many intellectuals still understand the most basic principles of right and wrong as well as of the real world. Unfortunately, too many don’t or at least don’t when Israel is the target.
Finally, it is of the greatest importance to understand that this is not an issue of Gaza or of Israel alone. The great issue of our era, of our remaining lifetimes, is the battle between radical Islamism—whether using the tactic of terrorism or not—and the rest of the world. To isolate this question as merely something about Israel is to misunderstand everything important about the world today.

#53,55,56, &57
Marko in particular,Sara, Resistance, Russia is MWO-2
mARCO,I would like to see you consider adding to your overly simplistic comments of how the Great International Media backs israel by taking into consideration some of the following points:
1.0 Integration of the ideas presented by #57, from Russia is NWO-2, derived from JIHAD WATCH.
2.0 Note the follwing statement:RB just use the Goebbels’ tactic: “A lie repeated a thousand times eventually can became a true”
To people like him if the Reality don’t fit with his assertions, the reality is evil wrong uuuuuu….
Marco are you eating your eating your own dog food? Do you really believe your simplistic points tell the whole story ? I really believe you are more intelligent and aware. Is it the case that i am wrong?
3.0 I would like to see you integrate the historical misreporting and literal doctoring of information from Reuters and the BBC, just to name a few.
4.0 I would like to provide some data to help put some things in context. You and others believe in the simplistic notion that being against Zionism is not being against Jews ant that the Zionists try to create linkage to further their cause. I will be the first to say that there are both good and bad zionists, owever the following backgroffffund data may help achieve some understanding.
After WW2 the grand Mufti brought back to the middle east a nazi level of anti-semitism which he integrated into muslim community. integrated the study of Mein Kamph, and the Protocols of Zion into fhis teaching throughout the Muslim world. Arafat, Sadam Hussein and Prince Faisel of SaudI Arabia picked up on this and drove it hard —-note this was against Jews not just Zionists—-So there is a cnnection on this in the Arab World. Today thes documents circulate and are studied throughout the middle east more ethan any other part of the world. NOTE THAT THE HISTORICAL RELATION SHIP THAT Jews had living in the muslim world was very positive contrasted to their experience in the christian west.
What changed this was Nazism. ilived for a substantial period of time in Japan, the Japanese always had extremely positive relationships with Jews living in Japan after WW2 there was dgrees of hard core resentmfent agains jews, again for the same reasons, involvement with the third reich.
My overall point is issues are not as simplistic and clearly drawn complexity is a bitch to deal with but the only way to get to the real truth. I hope this results in your review of some of your tight bullet like conclusions and the possibility of positive dialogue with you and others that seek the truth and not simplicity or dogma.

RB
I prefer don’t follow Yr diet (eating dog’s food) anyway …from which hell do you implied that I’m a anti-zionist ? Is this a rule nr. 12 Variation ? And relation to mass media “12 rules” comment, the objective was really put it on table to debate, thank you.
Russia is NWO 2; first the military technology evolute yet not the human minds, second – worst, if the objective justify the means, Well… the ‘terrorists’ from Hezbollah and Hamas along years had killed and wounded a number much lower of civilians than Israel forces…
