A New Big Middle East War

The Israeli attacks into Gaza could easily be the beginning of a new Middle East war. Netanyahu is acting a British / Wall St. agent. By attacking Gaza with land-forces, there is an immediate danger of sucking Egypt into the war. After that, all hell breaks loose. More from Geezer land: On Nov. 16, both Houses of the U.S. Congress unanimously passed resolutions expressing support for Israel's "inherent right to act in self-defense." The identical non-binding resolutions passed Nov. 15 in the Senate and Nov. 16 in the U.S. House of Representatives. A host of lawmakers have issued statements in support of Israel, and Israeli Ambassador Michael Oren on Nov. 14 briefed five senators from both parties — Sens. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.), Bob Casey (D-Pa.), Jeanne Shaheen (D-N.H.), Jim DeMint (R-S.C.) and Johnny Isakson (R-Ga.). "As a bipartisan group of Senators committed to Israel's security, we express our solidarity with Israel during this deeply challenging period and denounce the reprehensible and indiscriminate rocket attacks launched by Hamas and Islamic Jihad against innocent Israeli citizens," the senators said in a joint statement. In Egypt, President Morsi said on Nov. 15 that his country stood by the Palestinians against what he termed Israeli aggression. "The Egyptian people, leadership... all of Egypt is standing with all its resources to stop this assault, to prevent the killing and bloodshed of Palestinians," Morsi said in nationally-televised remarks. He also instructed Egyptian Prime minister Hesham Kandil to lead a delegation to Gaza on Friday, and he contacted President Obama to discuss strategies to stop the bloodshed and aggression. During Kandil's visit to Gaza, Israel had offered to hold all fire if the rockets from Hamas stopped, but there was continuous rocket fire. There were also reports of Qassam rockets having landed near Jerusalem, but, according to Ori Nir of Americans for Peace Now, these were not fired from Gaza but from somewhere closer to Jerusalem. Russian President Vladimir Putin has also stepped in to urge all parties to show restraint and avoid triggering a larger war. In the past 24 hours, Putin spoke by phone with Egyptian President Morsi and Turkish Prime Minister Erdogan. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov also spoke by phone to Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman, who has strong Russian ties. He, too, was urged to avoid escalating the crisis into an all-out war. President Putin was in St. Petersburg today for the Russian-German annual dialogue, where he met with German Chancellor Angela Merkel. Frictions between Russia and Germany have been growing in recent weeks, which is, in itself, a dangerous turn of events, given that Germany has historically been the bridge between Russia and all of Europe. According to one U.S. intelligence community official, Netanyahu is provoking this conflict with the Palestinians at this time in a desperate effort to prevent the UN General Assembly from giving statehood recognition to Palestine. By pushing the confrontation with the Palestinians and accusing them of conducting terrorism against Israel, Bibi is trying to force the U.S. and European hands to intervene more sharply to block the recognition of Palestine as a non-member state at the UN. British Jabotinskyite agent Netanyahu's schemes may very well trigger a regional, or even a global war, which is the larger reason for the sudden Gaza provocations just days after the U.S. elections ended.
