Israeli Army Chief Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi has reportedly signed off on a plan to launch a major war on the country’s northern front with Lebanon. This comes amid growing escalation of Israeli attacks and a palpable sense that diplomatic efforts are not gaining much momentum in avoiding the conflict.
Lt. Gen. Halevi had ordered plans prepared last month, and reportedly held an assessment with northern commander Maj. Gen. Ori Gordin in which they both decided that the plan was appropriate.
Defense Minister Yoav Gallant is reportedly having his staff work on various proposals for gearing up the general public for an “all-out” military conflict with Hezbollah, and ominously enough, for the possibility of war with Iran.
The goal, according to reports, is to “raise awareness” of the possibility of a war, even if one is not imminent, and “Not to panic, but to raise awareness.” Israel Home Front Command has long been preparing for sheltering civilians in the north in the event the conflict breaks out.
Embarking on a PR campaign to raise awareness about a northern war in Lebanon signals further escalation on the road to war. The public is being advised of upcoming conflict.
DM Gallant is reportedly interested in making this campaign work quickly but is also worried about how Hezbollah’s leader Hassan Nasrallah might react if Israel starts raising awareness for the invasion into Lebanon’s south.
Nasrallah has long downplayed the threat of an Israeli invasion, saying he does not believe Israel is prepared for another full-scale war in Lebanon while it is in the middle of a war in the Gaza Strip.
Israeli media regularly discusses the possibility, if not outright inevitability, of a full-bore conflict in Lebanon. With very recent Israeli strikes against UN observer teams in southern Lebanon and on the Iranian Consulate in Damascus, Syria, war looms closer than ever.
Arrogant sick murderous bastards
It’s almost as if the Likud wants ordinary Israelis to suffer. Why doesn’t the Likud want Israelis to have a lasting and secure peace ?
The same reason neither the Democrats nor the Republicans want a secure and lasting peace for the Untied States; an external threat always leads to more power for the powerful and trembling acquiescence by the majority.
Ahem. My, my, my!… Ah, I seem to remember that Israel, actually, having denied the father’s son, in their arrogance and hubris, is trying to fulfill prophecy by ushering in a potential global catastrophe by starting a Third World War. Hmmm. Ah, I see, lol, how truly odd that seems to be that these are the father’s chosen people, and, yet again, here we are going about to face potential annihilation, over their literal hypocrisy, denial and hubris about everything and y’all must forgive us father but that hardly seems fair to make us all suffer over their denial of the son and disregard for everything, again, again, again.
Cue the propaganda machine. Maybe they can run the same bullshit by the public that they used after the Hamas attack. This time they’ll make sure their own newspapers doesn’t contradict them when they bring up beheaded babies. They certainly won’t have to worry about the US newspapers not towing the line. And Joey will play along.
Joey is putty.
…brain.
Correction: That’s Israeli OM – not DM.
Israel? Hope they get their asses handed to them.
They’re ready for you to give you your second defeat…!
