Israel continues to talk up an expected war with Iran on Tuesday, opening bomb shelters in the country’s north, and carrying out yet another round of attacks on alleged Iranian targets inside Syria.The attacks centered on a base near Damascus, which Israeli media claims belongs to the Iranian Revolutionary Guard
The timing of this attack is particularly noteworthy. The strike began within an hour of the end of President Trump’s speech withdrawing the US from the Iran nuclear deal. Israeli officials have been envisioning the end of the deal leading to regime change in Iran, and have also advocated a war to impose regime change.
Nine people were killed in the Israeli attacks. The identities of the slain are unclear, with speculation that they are either Iranian troops or Shi’ite militia members. Syrian state media confirmed explosions in the area, but offered no details.
Israeli officials have been predicting an Iranian “attack” against them in retaliation for the various Israeli strikes in recent weeks. So far that hasn’t happened, and Israel appears to be determined to just keep stepping up the attacks until they provoke some sort of response. Israeli officials have threatened to impose regime change in Syria as well if Iran dares to react.
This was planned all along of course. With Uncle Sham out of the deal, it was a green light for the proxy war to commence on Syrian soil possibly in Lebanon as well.
Meanwhile, keep a look out for the A-rabs getting all froggy in Yemen.
into WWI it was just as likely that we would be on the side of Germany. Germans made a huge percentage of the population. Enter our yellow rags and we enter the war on the side they want. The slaughter of that war is hard to imagine. We were in a very short time and much short in actual combat. The men who fought the war were promised a bonus but they never collected. Sadly we are being led to another blood bath by yellow rags
Russian Christians also supporting Israel and approving of its snail-pace genocide of the Palestinians? Putin is also a Christian, i believe.
But, nevertheless whatever Putin thinks, Putin reportedly said that Russia would protect its allies. I assumed he included in that a promise also Syria and Iran?
There’s no such thing as “snail-pace genocide.”
True, the term “snail-pace” is my invention. And, yes, it misleads or leads to some confusion.
I wonder, tho, what term would be accurate to use for what communist, fascist, christian, and judaic actors and factors have been doing to Palestinians since at latest The First Zionist Congress at Basle 1897?
This case is a oner; thus, to ‘explain it’, it may be best to stay in Gaza or the WB for at least one hour; preferably two, if one can endure seeing what goes on in these areas for that long.
And, No, I am not going.
I think they attacked Iranians, invited guests of the UN recognized government. Israel is trying hard to get something going. I don’t think they have really thought this through.
Israel only attacks countries with no defences. I agree that Russia needs to intervene, and supply the S300s to Syria ASAP.
