Context
Context must be omitted from Western media articles on the current political maneuverings of the Zionists. These religious, ethno-supremacist, colonials are being assisted by their US and European, colonial allies in their conflicts with their neighbours. Were it not for the Zionist control of, and influence over these Western publications, the lack of context may be understandable. The journalists, like every caring human, are trying to look away from the ongoing murder of defenseless children by the Zionists with their state military.
The path to the present is 76 years of persecution to arrive at this genocide.
In 2006 representatives of the Hamas political party were elected with an overwhelming majority to rule in Gaza, one of the fractured regions of Palestine. On October 7th 2023 the armed forces of the elected government of Gaza attacked Israeli government employees who have kept Palestinian families in a prison on their own land. A few years earlier, during the marches of the Right of Return peaceful demonstrations, the Zionist forces assassinated children, journalists, medical workers and peaceful protesters. The only difference to their current genocidal behaviour are scale and the choice of weaponry. The lawless Zionists extended the international outrage at their behaviour by attacking a diplomatic mission with missiles in a bordering nation's capital.
Redress
Because of veto powers handed out to selected nations by the Western colonial supporters of the Zionists they have dominant influence over the international political body which they created to mediate international disputes. The lead neo-colonial power has repeatedly rejected international calls for a permanent ceasefire to force the Zionists to stop their genocide. It has been concurrently arming the Zionists with the weapons they are using to deliver their genocide. The current lead and former colonial powers have also defunded the primary aid organisation, UNRWA, which could alleviate the suffering being created by the Zionist's policy of collective punishment by starvation.
With no hope of using the international conflict mediation mechanism the nation whose diplomatic staff were murdered by the Zionists in their supposedly sacrosanct mission felt that violence was the only effective method to communicate their objection to having their embassy bombed. The aggrieved nation, with its regional allies, attacked specific military installations of the lawless Zionists which were involved in the attack on its embassy and citizens.
Events and Responses
Larry Johnson, among others in the independent media, informs us of the target selection and the mechanisms used to conduct the attack on the military installations. Iran and its allies used three classes of aerial munitions with differing speeds. The drones, cruise missiles and ballistic missiles were launched at differing times to arrange their concurrent arrival at their destinations. This was intended to flood the Zionist's defenses ensuring that some of the munitions hit their targets, which they did.
Not only had Iran restricted its targets to military facilities, but had communicated via an intermediary in Oman with the Zionists' prime ally at least some of those targets. This was to minimize casualties and thus reduce the political ammunition which the Zionists may use to force their ally to support their desired escalation which was begun with their military attack on the diplomatic mission. The warning also allowed the greatest possible preparation for the Zionists and colonial allies to defend the new colonial state. This communicated warning shows that the response was not driven by revenge. It was calmly calculated, or "calibrated" to quote the Financial Times who informed the West of the communications which preceded the response.
That the ethno-supremacists' prime ally, the US, allowed this attack reverberates more forcefully than the attack itself. The "allowance" was qualified. Yes, the US and the other Zionist colonial allies of the UK and France assisted the criminal Zionists in shooting down the majority of the munitions. But, they permitted the attack. The US has warned Israel that it will not participate in any military response. Because of the influence of the Zionists over the US' political establishment and media it is unclear whether the Zionists will heed this call for restraint or whether the US will maintain their stated public position. The US has for decades been "agreement incapable". Their unreliable statements on foreign policy are even less trustworthy in years in which their national presidential election occurs, as is the case now.
Scott Ritter's analysis contains the key understanding that the US' military assets in the region are just as vulnerable as the Zionists':
… U.S. policy makers were confronted with the uncomfortable truth that if the U.S. were to act in concert with Israel to either participate in or facilitate an Israeli retaliation, then U.S. military facilities throughout the Middle East would be subjected to Iranian attacks that the U.S. would be powerless to stop.
Analysis by Dima from Military Summary focused on the underlying issue which the Zionist, pariah state faces. Given all else is approximately equivalent, the deciding factor in military conflict is production, or logistics. Dima reported that the Zionist military lost various missile defense system during the response. This would have been a logical intention of the aggrieved and its allies. Destroying these would both assist in delivering their current message and weakening the Zionists to resist further responses should the Zionists fail to heed their ally's warning.
The cost to the Zionists for their defense, not including reconstructing damaged premises, has been calculated at around $1 billion USD. The cost of the militarily delivered message is suggested to be far less. The aerial munitions used are a tiny fraction of those of Iran.
The response which Iran and its allies delivered contains multiple messages. The first is the reality of their capability and that they can and will use it. The groups responding to Israel's genocide and lawlessness have demonstrated Israel's ongoing vulnerability. The Zionists’ propaganda of their shield of invisibility has been shattered. Israel's attempts to defend itself will also bankrupt it. Given the other conflicts which Israel's colonial allies are running, their stocks of supplies to re-arm Israel's defenses are very low.
Indeed, the conflict in Ukraine has demonstrated that NATO's military production capacity is minuscule compared with Russia's. This places Israel in the strategically defeated position of having to bankrupt itself to obtain a disappearing resource which will fail to defend it. Its strongest ally, who has fought wars on its behalf before, is also publicly declaring that it will not participate in any offensive response by the Zionists. Strategically, the situation for Israel has devolved to that of Ukraine. Their only effective response mechanism is terrorism via covert operations. This will further demonstrate their lawlessness of murdering civilians. This situation reminds us of statements made by Hezbollah's Director of International Relations when responding to a question as to whether Hezbollah wishes to destroy Israel: "They will destroy themselves by their own actions". (See the Lascaris interview in sources).
The Genocide Program
The Western media are trying to walk a line between advocating the hypocritical position of the US, who are funding and arming the Zionist genocide of Palestinians, and that of the Zionists whose political leadership desperately desire the US to fight another war on their behalf. Their articles display this impossible position by the convoluted language used. Contrary to this article they will not provide the historical and recent context. If they provide information from Iran or its allies it will be placed towards the end of their articles to minimize it. Their narratives will focus on Israel. Outrageous responses by the Zionists will be attributed to the state rather than its leadership. A river of gifted anonymity will flow through their words as they try to portray the genocidal, lawless, ethno-supremacists as victims. This false victimhood itself echoes the propaganda narratives issued by the US with its, and its NATO partners’ “defensive” wars in far away foreign nations.
The Zionist genocide and international aggression continues even as these Western media articles focus on the political events which have followed the aggrieved Iranians' response. Israel's Golani brigade just sent an armed, military force into Lebanon. This is another declaration of war on another nation. That force stumbled into Lebanese defenses and had to be rescued, another illegal action violating the airspace of Lebanon.
A tragic microcosm of the lawless Zionist oppression of Palestinians just occurred in Gaza. It evoked the same Right of Return peaceful marches of a few years ago. Those were the expression of the Palestinian refugees to return to their family homes and farms stolen from them by the Zionists in the Nakba, 75 years ago. The recent event was an attempted return by Palestinians to the northern half of the prison in which they've been attacked and starved since 2007. Five Palestinian civilians were murdered by the Zionist occupation forces when they attempted to move around on their land within the Zionist prison.
Similar, continued, oppressive violence is being exacted on the Palestinian population in the West Bank. The lawless, genocidal violence there is being primarily delivered by Zionist armed settlers. The occupation army has stood back to allow these constant human rights abuses; the murder, the destruction of homes, the terrorism.
The rivers of blood of the Zionist genocide to ethnically cleanse Palestinian land of Palestinian people across all of Palestine, are still flowing from the Jordan River and Gallilee to the Gaza shoreline of the eastern Mediterranean Sea.
