Wars And Rumors of War

The Ugly Truth

‘Israel on high alert as end of Mughniyeh
mourning period draws near…’

‘Rabbis call on Jews to avenge yeshiva killings…’

‘Israeli attack on Syria possible…’

‘Israel threatens Lebanon with war…’

‘Israel, U.S. commanders test ‘extreme’ scenarios
in joint drill…’

‘Israel to hold massive emergency drill…’

‘Israeli warship violates Lebanese waters…’

‘Israeli fighters violate Lebanese airspace…’

To any average person, the above headlines seem like
business as usual in the Middle East, as there has never
been a period since 1948 where the once Holy Land was
not a cauldron of violence and conflict. To those who
understand the deeper reasons behind the recent
(and not so recent) bloody history however–meaning
Israel’s seeming addiction to the shedding of blood–
what it indicates is that there’s more to all of this recent
business than merely noise. The fact is, Israel’s war party
is planning a hell of a bash, big enough to die for, and not
just in the thousands but possibly in the millions.

No one should be particularly surprised, as war, theft and
conquest have always been inextricably woven into the
fabric of Israel’s character. And not just since the 20th
century when former Israeli Defense Minister Moshe
Dayan said ‘…Above all, let us hope for a new war with
the Arab countries, so that we may finally get rid of our
troubles and acquire space…” but indeed going ‘all the
way back to the beginning,’ as they say. One first
encounters this fact when reading in the Old Testament
where Jacob (‘the deceiver’ who defrauded his brother
Esau out of his inheritance) is renamed ‘Israel,’ the
meaning of which given in the book of Genesis is ‘He
who fights against God and man.’ Not long afterwards
are the plagues and the slaughter of the first-born in Egypt,
followed by the Israelite invasion of the Levant and the
destruction of the various indigenous peoples there,
including (but not limited to) the Amalekites, Canaanites
(based upon which particular spelling used–Israil, Izrael
or Azrail) that it is also happens to be the name given to
the angel of death.

More practical and down to earth though there is the history
of the last 60 years proving beyond any reasonable doubt
that Israel cannot exist without war. Her entire 20th
(and now 21st) century history–rather than revolving
around plowshares, peace and productivity has instead
been wrapped up in her old bad habits of conflict, conquest
and theft. Theodore Herzl, considered the founding father
of the Jewish state remarked gloatingly on the issue of
strife between Jew and gentile when he wrote in his diary
“The anti-Semites will become our most loyal friends…
the anti-Semitic nations will become our allies.”

In short, warfare–in all its forms–is and always has been
the glue holding the Jewish state together. It is its reason
for being and the foundation upon which it is built. It is the
‘us vs. them’ mentality, the ceaseless sparring between
chosen and non-chosen that forces the ‘most persecuted
group in human history’ to huddle-in closely and achieve
what would otherwise be impossible amongst such an
organically-fractured group–cohesiveness and singularity
of purpose.

This being the case, war is–for lack of better word–
a ‘necessary’ evil when it comes to the health of the
Jewish state. It is the fuel that feeds the beast and
keeps it alive and without it the great experiment in
Jewish self-rule would disintegrate in short order. In a
recent interview on the Republic Broadcasting Network,
(www.republicbroadcasting,org) former Israeli nuclear
technician turned anti-Zionist apostle of peace Mordechai
Vanunu laid it out in the clearest of terms–Israel MUST
have war at least every ten years (or thereabouts) in order
to bring the myriad of Jewish factions together. Without
war the Jewish state would be rudderless and
without purpose.

And a quick look at the wars of last century proves
Vanunu to be right–1948, 1956, 1967, 1973, the war
in Lebanon in the 1980’s, etc. More so, what this list
shows is that Israel is long overdue for her regular
feeding, and like all spoiled, petulant, undisciplined
children who haven’t had their regular snack between
meals, she is irrational, grouchy, and willing to ingest
just about anything in order to fill that void within her.
Making matters worse is the fact that in the summer
of 2006, when she tried getting her fix by launching a
war against Lebanon she was run out with her tail
between her legs. For nearly a month the world watched
in awe–first at the photos of those ‘nice Jewish girls’
autographing warheads before they were launched on
for-the-most-part Christian villages with messages such
as ‘From Israel, with Love,’ followed by the photos of
Israeli soldiers weeping in defeat like whipped children.
Following this was the scathing Winograd report recently
released that all but declared Israel and her 1st rate
military to have been defeated by a guerilla force led by
one swarthy, bearded Muslim cleric named Hassan Nasrallah.

With this in mind then, all circumstantial evidence
today indicates that in her desperation and hunger
for strife she is setting the stage for a whopper of a
war buffet, one that will include Lebanon, Syria and
Iran. And as is typical with Israel’s history of
warmongering, she is setting the stage so that it
appears her enemies threw the first punch against an innocent/minding-their-own-business/pure-as-
the-wind driven-snow nation of peace-loving people
when in actuality the enemies of the Jewish state will
only have struck back against her initial blows.

Besides all the pro-war rhetoric coming out of the
Jewish state for the last few years, in September
there were the air-to-ground missile attacks against
Syria, said to have targeted a nuclear weapons
production facility. Not long after was the blockading
of Gaza and the interdiction of the most basic staples
for life desperately needed in what is now the world’s
largest concentration camp lasting several months.
Contraband items included food, fuel, medicine, clothing,
even paper and books for school children. No fuel means
no running electrical generators which means no running
water and no sewage treatment. As a result, sewage was
literally running down the street and into people’s homes.
No electricity also meant no water treatment which led
to scores of water-born sicknesses. Dozens of people
needing medical treatment were denied entry out of
Gaza even to go to the West Bank and as a result over
100 deaths from lack of proper medical care resulted,
ranging from the very young to the very old.

Of course, all this was done merely to enflame
resistance elements in Gaza as a precursor to the
launching of the ‘deadly’ Qassam rockets (as they
are dramatically described in the Zionist media) into
Israel that have to date resulted in 12 deaths over
the course of 12 years. Once the rockets started flying,
Israel had her casus belli and announced that a holocaust
was on the way for Gaza which she gladly delivered, killing
over 160 people, most of whom were innocent women
and children.

Change locations now to Syria, (high on Israel’s hit list)
where in early February high-ranking Hezbollah leader
Imad Mughniyeh is assassinated in Damascus. Israel
officially does not claim responsibility but through her
various media outlets makes it clear that indeed she did
the deed. Hezbollah vows revenge and threatens to
take the war outside Israel’s boundary. Israel’s response
is all-too predictable, given what she really wants–that
any attack by Hezbollah will result in total war against
Lebanon and Syria. A few weeks later, a ‘lone gunman’
enters a Jerusalem yeshiva and opens fire, killing 8 Jews.
Immediately Israel links the assassin to Hamas, Hezbollah,
Iran and Syria. Warnings are issued in Israel that the world
should prepare to see something spectacular take place
after the 40-day period of mourning Islamic militants
traditionally observe before taking revenge. The end of the
mourning period just so happens to land on the very same
weekend as Jews worldwide begin the celebration of Purim,
where they commemorate in drunken lawlessness the
slaughter of 75,000 innocent Persian (re, Iranian)
civilians at the hands of Jewish thugs thousands of years
ago while munching on pastries made in the shape of a
human ear, said to be that of Haman, an enemy of
the Jews.

Of course, what will make this next bloodfest different
from others in Israel’s history is that now she has fancy
new toys and powerful new friends she never had before,
meaning the military might and political cooperation
(subservience) of a United States of America willing
to bow to her every demand. Israel wanted Iraq
destroyed, and it was destroyed with no questions asked.
Israel wants Iran destroyed, and the recovering
alcoholic-turned-born again apocalyptic Christian
President drools like a rabid dog over the prospect of
proving his moxie to his masters in Tel Aviv, and even
when his own military men and intelligence agencies are
promising unprecedented disaster in its wake. As of this
moment 4 US carrier groups are sitting right off the coast
of Iran, and the one man who stood in the way of an attack
on Iran, Admiral William Fox Fallon, ‘resigned’ after
pressure was put on the Bush White House to remove
him. Besides the 4 carrier groups, A US strike group has
moved off the coast of Lebanon and the anti-missile
destroyer USS San Jacinta stands at the ready–cocked and
locked–in the Israeli port of Haifa. George Bush on his most
recent visit to the Jewish state promised US military support
if Israel is attacked and Vice President Dick Cheney also
made sure to echo those promises in the unlikely event
that Israel happened to forget.

Indeed, what the sum total of these (and many other
pieces of information) seem to indicate is that the very
Armageddon for which unstable Christian Zionists wait
in anticipation may indeed be closer to fruition than some
imagine. As the book of Revelations (the very same book
used as a road map by these same war-hungry Christians
in guiding them through these dangerous days) prophesizes,
‘Men cry ‘peace, peace, but there is no peace’. Oh if only
these same Christians paid better mind to the fact that one
of the clues revealing the identity of the ravaging beast
described in the end-times book is said to be the name of a
man, and that name more than likely is ‘Israel,’ meaning
‘he who wars against man and God’.
