Israel is desperately trying to avoid internal collapse by opening a new front in their genocidal regional war; and doing so using proxies rather than their own troops. See also my recent article on the looming collapse of the Israeli military: electronicintifada.net/content/how-...

How close is the Israeli army to collapse?
Plummeting morale, mutinous soldiers, a rash of suicides and espionage are wearing Israel down.

Asa Winstanley @asawinstanley.com · 30/11/2024
The reactivation of the dormant takfiri groups was timed exactly to coincide with the signing of Israel's ceasefire in Lebanon (which they have of course already violated dozens of times). It is impossible that this is a mere coincidence.

With the new Turkish/Al Qaida invasion of Aleppo, the way these homicidal takfiri terrorists coordinate their operations with Israel is today clearer than ever before.

They treated their wounded fighters in a special hospital set up for exactly that purpose. "Israel... was not specifically targeted by Al Qaida," Halevy explained. Watch that clip here youtube.com/watch?v=vweH...

Former Mossad chief Efraim Halevy openly boasted to Al Jazeera in 2016 that Israeli troops had aided Al Qaida terrorists in the Israeli-occupied sector of Syria's Golan Heights.

Asa Winstanley @asawinstanley.com · 30/11/2024
The facts are these: Al Qaida and ISIS are creations and proxies of US, Israeli and other Western intelligence agencies (as well as of Turkey and the now largely Zionized Gulf regimes). The CIA pumped billions of dollars into its proxy war against Syria.

Asa Winstanley @asawinstanley.com · 30/11/2024
In fact, my conclusions were far too conservative and cautious. In this case (and this is rare) I now disagree with some of my own writing (particularly the insinuation that the Syrian government used chemical weapons, something which has been very credibly debunked by Aaron Maté and others).

"There is a Jew who lives–by force—in half of my home in Jerusalem, and he does so by 'divine decree.' Many others reside—by force—in Palestinian houses, while their owners linger in refugee camps. It isn’t my fault that they are Jewish." -- Mohammed El-Kurd mondoweiss.net/2023/09/jewi...

Jewish settlers stole my house. It’s not my fault they’re Jewish.
Palestinians are told the words we use dwarf the decades of violence enacted against us by the self-proclaimed Jewish State. A drone is one thing, but a trope—a trope is unacceptable. No more.
