WW3 Fears Grow

Yesterday we began a post on the Middle East with this paragraph:

News from the Middle East is equally, perhaps even more, unsettling than news from the Russia front of the American Empire’s war on the world. Israel continues its efforts to instigate a big enough war to drag the US into the conflict in a major way. The reasoning is simple and logical. Israel knows it cannot continue its existence in its present form indefinitely, absent massive intervention of a power far greater than its own. The massive US military support for the current Israeli genocide is proof of that fact, if any proof were needed. Absent US support, Israel’s genocide would have to stop virtually overnight. Thus, the apocalyptic reasoning runs: the American Empire must be induced to utterly annihilate Israel’s designated enemies—Middle Eastern regimes that recognize Israel as an outpost of Western Globalist empire, and also recognize globalist intent to subjugate the Middle East long term for its energy resources. It’s one helluva gamble, and Israeli gambles have tended—at least since 1967—to end up in shambles. (Global War Status: Middle East Front)

That was written before Israel’s and the Zhou regime’s targeted execution of seven (updated number) humanitarian aid workers.

Let me be clear: This was no "accident" or "incident". The two World Central Kitchen vehicles were clearly WCK branded and had pre-liaised with the @IDF on their route plans. This was a cold-blooded, calculated slaughter of those delivering civilian aid.

Let’s be clear. The Neocon and Israel Lobby run Zhou regime knows exactly what use Israel makes of the weapons and munitions that they provide to Israel. The US is fully complicit in everything that’s happening. The attacks on Syria in support of jihadist forces, the genocide in Gaza, the unprecedented attack on a diplomatic establishment.

Prof Francois Balloux @BallouxFrancois

Over the last 24 hours, Israel:

- levelled a major hospital and executed doctors

- bombed a foreign embassy

- targeted / killed Western UN workers providing food

I can't really think of any other international law Isreal could break that may lead to a reaction from the West.

What should be apparent from these actions is the sheer level of desperation in the Israeli regime. They realize that they are losing.

Larry Johnson gets what’s going on. Obviously Israel isn’t itching for WW3 per se, but WW3 is a very real risk for the world that Israel is quite willing to take:

ISRAEL ITCHING TO IGNITE WORLD WAR III

LJ does something important in this must read article. He points out that at the very heart of Zionist ideology, Neocon ideology, is the fundamentally amoral proposition that the end justifies the means. First I’ll quote Arnaud Bertrand, who presents the unprecedented nature of what’s going on, with regard to the attack on the Iranian embassy in Damascus:

Arnaud Bertrand @RnaudBertrand

There is no overstating just how absolutely insane this is. There is no precedent - NONE - of a state deliberately bombing an embassy. It didn't even happen during WW1, WW2 or even the 19th century. Heck even during the medieval era and Roman empire, the protection of envoys and messengers - even from enemy states - was a recognized norm.

…

Israel now doing this - and it obviously isn't a mistake - shows just how rogue and unhinged it has become as a state. It's literally become beyond the pale on a scale that goes back centuries, even millennia.

If the world doesn't forcefully respond to this, it undermines the very core of international relations: the sanctity of diplomacy. And if that's the case, we're literally entering a world we've never known.

Now here’s LJ’s intro:

There is no other way to look at it. Israel bombed a diplomatic building protected under international law when it destroyed Iran’s Consulate in Damascus, Syria today. There is no justification for this. I don’t care if Iran was harboring Adolf Hitler inside the Consulate, this is an egregious crossing of a redline. The United States correctly condemned the fledgling Iranian regimen when “students” stormed the U.S. Embassy in the fall of 1979 and took hostages. Yet, when Israel destroys a diplomatic facility protected by the Geneva Convention, the United States plays dumb. At this point, Iran would be fully justified to launch a massive counter strike on Israel. This was an act of war by Israel.

Israel has made no secret of its plan to launch an invasion of southern Lebanon, which in my opinion, will be an ill-fated, feckless attempt to destroy Hezbollah. I must confess there is a part of me that wants Israel to do it because that is the only way the crazed Zionists will learn that they cannot kill their way to peace. Israel’s attack today in Damascus proves that it is a lawless nation. But Israel does not care about that. It is looking to create a pre-text that will force the United States to join the fighting to defend the Zionist cause.

But wait! Some of you may want to argue that Israel’s right to self-defense includes violating international law when it serves the purpose of Israel’s Zionists. That is the problem. Zionism, at its root, is immoral. Let me take you back 84 years when Yitzak Shamir and Menachem Begin — two ardent Zionists who later served as Israel’s Prime Minister — were full blown terrorists. Did you know that Shamir advocated collaborating with the Nazis?

And again—anyone with an ounce of sense realizes that the Zionist gamble is that they control the US and that’s all they need:

Jimmy Dore @jimmy_dore

Israel is bombing at least 3 different countries at the same time in desperate attempt to start WW3, Netanyahu is the biggest terrorist in the Middle East, he makes ISIS look like boy scouts.

Standing with Israel is against the interests of the U.S. & very anti-American. Unfortunately federal U.S politicians don’t represent U.S. citizens & don’t give a shit about what’s in their interests.

What will come of this? Obviously, we can only wait and see. Israel is hoping that Iran will launch a massive strike that will bring the US into a regional war—and if that leads to a hot WW3, well, that’s a risk the Zionists are willing to take, The Samson Option. The Samson Option in its original form is now outmoded—which why Israel needs direct US involvement. However, if there’s one thing we should havee learned from the West’s globalist war on the world over the past several years, it’s that our globalist rulers consistently misunderestimate the forces of resistance and, particularly, fail to understand the power of asymmetric warfare. Even now, they fail to see. Israel believes it is forcing Iran to act as Israel demands, but for that very reason it may well turn out that Iran will resort to a more flexible response that leaves it with the option for escalation on its own terms at a time of its own choosing. While Israel isolates itself.

No predictions here. We’ll have to wait and see.
