The Jerusalem Post reports today that Israel’s military has ordered its Southern Command to prepare for a “large scale” invasion of the Gaza Strip, likely to begin within the next few months.
The revelation is hardly a surprise, as Israeli Military Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Benny Gantz has repeatedly pressed for an invasion of the Gaza Strip over the past few months, while trumpeting the late 2008 invasion as a “great success.”
Officials today indicated that the next invasion would be very much on the same model as 2008, which saw massive Palestinian civilian casualties and destruction of considerable civilian infrastructure, much of which remains unrepaired as an Israeli blockade has prevented construction materials from being imported.
Israeli officials cited “increased weaponry” in the Gaza Strip as the reason for the upcoming invasion, particularly anti-tank weapons. Other than getting some of their tanks blown up, it isn’t clear why they consider this a good reason to invade, as weapons have been flooding much of the region since the Libyan regime fell and their weapons warehouses were looted.
The exact timing of the invasion will also be tricky, as Israel will of course rely on the US to run interference in the UN when the ugliest aspects of the war begin to trickle out. The last invasion came after the 2008 US Presidential election but was virtually wrapped up before President Obama took office. It may be that Israel will try a similar strategy of starting the war after the vote in an effort to keep it from being a political issue in the US.

Really, how long have the poor people who just want to live their lives in both Israel & Palestine be expected to put up with the minority of people on both sides wanting endless war, we in the west could not begin to even imagine what this type of life would be like to live in.
I am the first to sympathise with what the Jews were put through in WW2, it was downright disgusting & a dark day for all mankind however if we want to survive we ALL need to make concessions & sacrifices, no one nationality is better or worse than another, we are one race, the human race & unless we in the west make an all out sincere effort to bring peace to the middle east I sincerely doubt that it will ever come unless it’s through total annihilation which hopefully won’t be allowed to happen.
There are far too many small groups & individuals involved & have vested interest to see the mid east never has peace BUT this is an area where the West could indeed make a difference, even if it means freezing financial assets etc of these responsible or involved in promoting war, we could have done this decades ago or tomorrow if we had totally impartial honest politicians in the main parties however they all seem to have been bought & paid for. Therefore it is up to us to demand action & vote AGAINST BOTH main political parties, this is the only way we can get the power back to the people where it belongs & introduce the political reform we so desparately must have for our children & grandkids to survive in a world worth living in.
Remember both main political parties are responsible for the financial & military abyss we ALL now face.
GJS is dangerously, fatally, naive.
85% of Israelis are Ashkenazi. Therefore they are neither Jews nor Israelites, but descendants of the Khazars who lived in southern Russia until 740 AD, when they “converted” en masse to the secular form of Judaism called Zionism, taking “Jewish” names to disguise their true origins, and simultaneously embracing that most wicked of holy books, the Talmud, with its institutionalized racism and infinite variety of Satanic ideologies. Most of the remainder of the Israelis are Sephardim, ie descendants of Esau, ergo not Jacobites either. It is the genocidal Zionist agenda which is about to visit holocaust on the Palestinians. Believe me when I say that there is not a minority on the Palestinian side which wants war. Would you really want to take on Satan with petrol bombs and stones ? Against all the US supplied hardware the fascist Israelis can muster ? The only violence you would offer would be a simple refusal to allow your people to be crucified by the invaders, whilst the blood still ran in your veins. A moment’s thought would put GJS into a similar mind set, if his family were in imminent danger of a brutal annihilation, which is the real reason for invasion.
GJS sympathizes with the Jewish suffering during WW2. So do we all. However, we should understand that the financing of Adolf Hitler was via the Union Bank from NYC, which lent 30 billion US$ to Nazi Germany, whilst the US itself was in the grip of the Great Depression. ( Which was engineered by Ashkenazi bankers, acting via their creation, the Federal Reserve system.) The owners of the Union Bank, which employed Prescott Bush, grandfather of GW, were also Ashkenazi, who are not Jews, as I have been at some pains to point out already.
Their God is Lucifer, and they are his chosen people, as was eloquently testified to by Harold Wallace Rosenthal in 1976. As such therefore, they hate all theists, which includes both the real YHVH-worshipping Jew, and the Christian. These are they who brutally murdered 50 million Christians in Russia following the similarly-funded Revolution there in the aftermath of WW1, which was instigated by a variety of Ashkenazi who had taken Russian names, eg Lenin, Trotsky etc. You will detect a pattern of behaviour here. They followed this up with the lesser holocaust against the real Jews under Hitler’s regime.
They own all the world’s media, hence the depths of ignorance which prevails wrt their real nature and mission in this world; and they have bought the wicked and treasonous traitors who claim to rule our countries, eg HM the Queen, ( whose banker is Rothschild ), Cameron-Clegg-Milliband, and their Blair-Brown predecessors. And, of course, the entire US body politic.
GJS thinks that Western financial sanctions against the warmongers might help. But I hope he now realises that the Western nations are entirely owned by the Ashkenazi. These are the same nations which have consensually raped Libya, the erstwhile shining light of the African continent, falling upon it like a crazed and rabid wolf; in order to control its oil wealth.
In conclusion, a quote from Gutle Schnapper, wife of Meyer Rothschild, founder of the Ashkenazi dynasty which owns the entire world, apart from the “Axis of Evil” nations which we have been told about.
“If my sons did not want wars, there would be no wars”.
