In recent days it has become increasingly clear that Israel has no more intention of withdrawing all of its troops from southern Lebanon by the February 18 deadline than it had for the January 26 deadline. It is now more clear what the plan is, and how it will be framed as compliance.
The latest reports are that the US has informed Lebanon that Israel will in fact withdraw from the villages it current occupies, i.e. the populated areas south of the Litani River, by February 18. They will not, however, actually withdraw from southern Lebanon, and will retain those five hill-top “surveillance” sites they began constructing inside Lebanon in the past two weeks.
Both Israel and apparently the US are prepared to brand this as successful compliance with the Lebanon ceasefire. Lebanon has said they consider “unacceptable” the idea that Israel will just retain those new surveillance posts indefinitely.
US Maj. Gen. Jasper Jeffers, who is nominally in charge of overseeing the ceasefire, is considerably more upbeat about this turn of events, cheering the “significant progress” Israel has made in Lebanon as loudly Friday as he did weeks ago when the first deadline was about to be ignored. He was careful to decline all comments on the Israeli posts inside Lebanon, which again Israel intends to keep.
France, who was also meant to be overseeing the ceasefire, has been a little more vocal in calling for Israel to speed up their withdrawal from Lebanon. Israel has made it clear they reject this “French proposal” and have decided to stay on Lebanese soil.
The increased clarity on what is about to happen in the next four days doesn’t mean Israel isn’t continuing to destroy homes in southern Lebanon, either. Multiple homes in multiple towns and villages were reportedly detonated on Friday, and Israel is reportedly advancing against the town of Yaroun, one of the sites they’re expected to leave by the Tuesday deadline.
It is unclear how this development will impact Israel’s ongoing policy of shooting Lebanese civilians trying to return to their homes in the south. Israel reiterated yesterday that those displaced must stay away from the area, but once the occupation is confined to hilltops, there may be more people braving the risks to try to finally return home.
That's still a breach of the ceasefire and gives Lebanon and Hizbollah all kinds of casus belli. The war will reignite in a matter of months.
… matter of days…!
I’m guiding myself on Astrology for my prediction, feel absolutely free to disbelief it, but the feeling I get is that it be rather calm (broadly speaking, the world) until June and then war will return one way or another, one place or another. Also I expect revolutionary events by early next year.
The resistance wouldn’t and shouldn’t allow Israel to gain grounds…!
So far Israel is gaining ground with US help. There is no unified resistance other than Palestinians themselves.
Well… I didn't mean land grab… we have unified resistance of Hamas-Hezbollah-Houthis-Iran…! When one of them is dormant doesn't mean they're not unified…!
We also have international resistance to the Palestinian cause as seen on strikes and demonstrations…!
So this co called resistance has got over 50,000 people killed,and Gaza leveled.

The Palestinians don't have power. They don't have money. They just have themselves.
For the most part, the Arab world just gives lip service in support of the Palestinians, but do not want any.
Nor do they want to lend physical support.
Well that is true, but I meant they have some strong belief that holds them together, not like so many Araba leaders who sell all their people out. – But then not that much different from Western leaders who also sell their people out.
It has been that way since 1973. The Arab nations rather have peace with Israel than risk nuclear blasts on their biggest cities.
The resistance is weak, especially Hezbollah. They are still stunned at how there "great" 150,000 rocket advantage was taken out so quickly. But not Hezbollah leaders who decided joint the Gaza war as they are dead.
What astrology is that…?!
Regular Astrology with Astrolog freeware looket at by me. I tend to browse the patterns for the year at the beginning, then I forget (or sometimes not). It’s like reading the news in advance… but it’s all gibberish and you have to interpret and often fail at that. I don’t follow any charlatan if you mean that, I’m into the DIY rather. Cheers.

Israel is the new "Fourth Reich". But this time the US is not fighting it but helping it.
At the end of WWII, the U.S. wanted to enlist a few German soldiers to attack the Soviet Union while it was still reeling from the war carnage and the loss of 20 million souls fighting the Wermacht.
All I heard about in school was the wonderful D-day invasion, as well as Anzio. Neither would have been pulled off had not the Soviet Union occupied and defeated the German Army in the East.
(by the way, my father was at Normandy)
The USSR beat the German Army without the massive aid sent to USSR. As for the Normandy invasion, once the USA Army destroyed the Luftwaffe in spring of 1944. the invasions was unstoppable.
Israel is a country with flaws ,divisions, and poor governance. In other words ,like most countries. It is still far freer that most countries on earth. Half a million people marched peacefulyto rid themselves of Nety-in most countries they would have bee shot down. Try that in Russia,China Korea,Sudan.Venezuela,Cuba, Suda, ect ect
That doesn't change the fact that they are emulating the Nazis. But nice try. By the way, I wonder how many of those "half a million people" are part of the 80% that wants the Palestinians to be "cleaned out" of Gaza.
Kinda like the Golan.
Except Golan's a much bigger area
Air strikes as I write:

”Stealings just another word for nothing left to lose!”….
Israel, a nation filled with a lust for violence – and I do mean lust. They just never seem to get enough of it. It's Israel and its inhabitants that should be relocated – not Palestine.
