The Ground Invasion of Gaza

The United States and Europe have decided to give time for the occupying state to retaliate and regain some of the lost deterrence by giving it a blank check to confront the Resistance. For this purpose, a false propaganda campaign has been launched, including conflating ISIS and the Hamas movement and exaggerating the events that took place in the settlements around Gaza with accusations of rape, beheadings, and the killing of children. These claims will rebound internally when the truth of what happened in the Gaza Strip begins to leak into Zionist society: the decision to kill hostages along with the Resistance, and its decision to expedite the process of controlling the Gaza Strip at the expense of its citizens, as reported by Saleh al-Arouri, a member of Hamas’ political bureau. However, all of the options currently available to the occupying state are difficult.

In essence, it seeks to change the equation imposed by Gaza—to turn [the Resistance’s] initial victory into a defeat. This requires the occupation to neutralize other potential fronts and focus on the Gaza Strip, making the level of pain and destruction sufficient to weaken the Resistance’s power in the sector and force it to yield to aerial, artillery, and naval strikes. All this while planning the possibility of a large-scale ground invasion into Gaza.

However, can the occupying state fulfill its promises to its allies? Can it eliminate the Resistance through a ground or aerial campaign? The main difficulty facing the occupying state is that it may theoretically be able to destroy Gaza, but it will have great difficulty in destroying the Resistance. This equation makes any ground invasion a decisive crossroads in the history of “Israel”even more decisive than the initial Resistance operation—because it also opens itself, with this decision, to the possibility of turning the initial defeat into an even greater defeat if it carries out a ground invasion and, despite inflicting losses on the Resistance, fails to eliminate it.

The occupying state suffers from the tyranny of history; it is used to turning an initial defeat into victory, and it is used to possessing enough power to achieve that. This is what it was able to achieve in the 1973 October War by bypassing the initial Egyptian breach of the Bar Lev Line and turning defeat into victory, forcing Egypt to the Camp David Accords. Faced with the broad alliance that was prepared for war with it before the setback, it was able to launch a preemptive strike using precise intelligence. It effectively neutralized the Egyptian, Syrian, and Jordanian air forces and occupied the West Bank, Gaza Strip, Sinai, and the Golan Heights with its ground army.

The tyranny of history causes it [the occupying state] to make incorrect calculations. First, it feels confident in the possibility of defeating the Resistance in Gaza without intervention from other fronts and re-establishing deterrence in the Eastern Mediterranean. Secondly, [it feels confident] that it can carry out a ground offensive and win.

It has four options now:

First, absorb the Resistance’s first strike and, after a harsh air response, create a long-term policy aimed at strangling the sector economically and socially. Second, target the Resistance infrastructure directly, which requires a decisive ground entry with large numbers of troops and exposes it to a new defeat before the world and before its friends and enemies. The third option is to initiate a comprehensive war that strikes multiple fronts and other regional powers in an attempt to demonstrate its strength, which would take the battle to its maximal limits. There is a final option, which is to take the madness as far as possible and render Gaza completely uninhabitable.

All of these options have significant costs.

The risk of entering a ground war is enormous, because the occupation army is not used to ground wars. Despite its claims of being the best urban warfare military force in the world, it will enter under multi-layer air support—small drones, helicopters, suicide drones, and advanced aircraft that continue the bombing process and contribute to linking combat units with multiple layers from air support. The enemy will use chemical weapons in an attempt to destroy the viability of the tunnels. All of this and more.

However, it is important to point out two things: firstly, that the ongoing battle that led to the fall of the Occupation’s Gaza Brigade also means that the Resistance has acquired valuable intelligence about the options available to the entity. This intelligence reinforces what it already has.

Secondly, the resilience of the Resistance after the war will cost the occupying power a great deal politically and psychologically and completely disrupt political opportunities. Relying on its allies at this moment will make it more vulnerable to broader extortion from the Euro-American axis and subsequent concessions after the war.

The army will enter with international logistical support, overwhelming destructive capabilities, armored vehicles of various types, and, perhaps, with the participation of some other countries in the operation. It will have the ability to use poisonous chemical bombs in an attempt to destroy the tunnels and infrastructure of the Resistance.

However, Gaza is seriously prepared to meet the invaders. Perhaps its first strike last Saturday may even be part of a greater deception to drag the occupation to defeat itself.

Conclusion

Although some consider our defeat eternal—and there are those who are in love with defeat itself, and have become a ghost lost in it, while others regret their participation in the first dream based on the hope of liberation—history will prove that the end of the idea of “Israel” began the moment that the downtrodden learned the lessons of the Arab states and those who preceded them in the journey to freedom.

What we see of madness and hysteria in the enemy only confirms the fact that the strong, when exposed as weak, go mad. And the madness here is destruction without a clear political objective."

“there is growing anti-Semitism among enlist (American) troops who are openly stating they are against Israel and do not willing to put their lives on the line for them (the Israelis)”.

"... Given these considerations, the goal of the Palestinian operation is not to earn some rights in the likes of breadcrumbing or superficial concessions in exchange for captives. The goal is no longer even about "resisting" something. If there can be no grounds for negotiation with an apartheid regime whose only aim is to erase the Palestinian people from the realm of existence, then the sole viable course of action is none other than to obliterate Zionism in its entirety, including those who uphold it as an unquestionable truth and ideology. In other words, the objective of the operation has moved beyond the mere concept of "resistance" to that of "liberation".

Iran has recently communicated via UN channels its intention to intervene if the war on Gaza further escalates. Shortly after, news reports revealed that US Secretary of State Antony Blinken privately asked China's top diplomat, Wang Yi, to intervene in mediation efforts for the implementation of a ceasefire in the conflict. Knowing that a ceasefire is objectively unrealistic, Yi said in earlier statements that the issue lies in a lack of justice toward the Palestinian people. In his response to Blinken, Yi said the US should assume a "constructive and responsible role" in its capacity to restore order, while implicitly conveying that the US has played a key role in spreading chaos and disrupting the whole region.

The US has traditionally expanded via means of militarization and destruction. It is structurally incapable of implementing any sort of substantial truce agreement because it is not wired to do so. For the US to show up with a massive carrier and still be unable to dislodge Hamas off its grounds is a monumental revelation that it no longer has the capacity to exert influence. In China, there is a common metaphorical expression used to refer to something that appears powerful or threatening on the surface but is, in reality, weak or ineffective. This is what the US has aptly become: a paper tiger.

Vladimir Putin has likewise raised the point into consideration. When asked if the aircraft carrier was sent to bombard Lebanon, his response was, "I don't understand why the United States is dragging one of its aircraft carrier groups there [...] Is [the US] going to bomb Lebanon or did they decide to scare someone? But there are people there who are no longer afraid of anything."

The US is a paper tiger

The absence of fear underscores the reality that the US no longer holds the same level of influence or dominance it once had. Whatever the outcome of the war on Gaza, this serves as a stark indication of shifting global power dynamics which no longer seems to align with the unchallenged supremacy the US once possessed. But given the progression of current events, it is imperative to keep a close eye on how the US will adapt to this evolving landscape.

It would be wrong to assume that the operation has failed solely because Israeli forces have determined that captives are no longer a relevant factor in establishing grounds for compromise. What only matters is that Hamas is continuing to make strides in its project of liberation - and, above all, that the element of fear has shifted from the Palestinian side to the Israeli side."

"War games conducted by Chinese researchers found the US military’s most prized aircraft carrier could be reliably sunk with relative ease in the event of a hot war in the South China Sea.

A volley of hypersonic missiles could reliably sink the US military’s most powerful aircraft carrier group in a potential conflict, according to war game simulations carried out by a team of Chinese military planners.

Using 24 of their most advanced anti-ship missiles, Chinese forces consistently destroyed a carrier fleet led by the USS Gerald R. Ford over the course of 20 mock battles in simulations which were run on a war game platform employed by the People’s Liberation Army.

The basic principle underlying the exercise was to be “lenient with the enemy and strict with oneself,” Cao explained. As the Hong Kong-based outlet explained, “during the simulation, the PLA used its sea-based surveillance network to detect and identify the US carrier group before firing eight of the less-reliable hypersonic missiles simultaneously from southern and central sites in China.” Though “some of the missiles were intercepted, the attack depleted the US fleet’s SM-3 munitions, paving the way for the PLA to launch “eight of its more accurate hypersonic missiles from northern and western China, with four focused on the aircraft carrier while the others targeted the destroyers,” the outlet noted. “After the attack, four ships survived from the blue [US] team, with the destroyers having the most remaining, on average.” A “mop-up” operation with six of the less accurate hypersonic missiles was able to dispatch with the remaining vessels, the research paper determined. After the simulation was run 20 times to allow for different variables which could affect the outcome of the engagement, the team’s strategy was ultimately able to eliminate an average of 5.6 out of 6 surface vessels – effectively meaning the “total destruction” of the carrier group. The release of a paper detailing the war game in May marked “the first time the results of simulated hypersonic strikes against a US carrier group have been made public” by China’s military."

"... The Al-Aqsa Flood battle will be remembered as a major turning point in the history of the Arab-Zionist conflict. It is a huge blow to Israeli deterrence, Israeli national security, the image of the Israeli army, and the confidence of the settlers in their army. It is a blow to the image of “Israel” as a permanent stronghold in our Arab lands which reactionary regimes can turn to for protection and prosperity. It is a blow to normalization projects in the region, those already signed and those yet to be signed.

The occupation has declared war on the resistance in Gaza. It says the goal is to eliminate the Hamas and Islamic Jihad movements.

At the same time, the occupation leaders declare that they are keen to prevent the opening of other fronts. They are talking specifically about the northern front with Hezbollah in Lebanon.

Internal negotiations within the entity have begun to establish a unity government, incorporating the opposition into Benjamin Netanyahu’s government to secure unity for the war.

Political and military leaders of the occupying entity are already fearing the results of investigations that will be conducted after the war, whatever its outcome. What happened on October 7, 2023, is considered, by the occupiers themselves, the harshest blow the entity has suffered since the October 1973 war. Commentators, politicians, and former security officials suggest that the events of 2023 surpass those of 50 years ago for several reasons, most notably that the operation Al-Aqsa Flood was carried out by a non-state organization, on Palestinian land rather than occupied territories in Egypt and Syria. Because of this, the leaders of the occupation understand that their future looks increasingly bleak after the war. Consequently, any decision they make will be influenced by the threat to their political and professional future.

US President Joe Biden warned against the involvement of other parties or countries in the war and announced urgent military aid to the Israeli entity worth $8 billion. The United States also dispatched an aircraft carrier, along with its carrier group of warships, to the Eastern Mediterranean region, as a message of deterrence to the enemies of “Israel” (and to help evacuate American citizens from Occupied Palestine if necessary.) Washington has sent warnings and threat messages to various partners of the Palestinian resistance, demanding they refrain from intervening in the battle.

In turn, Hezbollah (in Lebanon) announced that it is not neutral in this war, and that it is coordinating with the Resistance Leadership in Gaza.

On the morning of October 8, 2023, Hezbollah targeted the positions of the occupation forces in the occupied lands of Shebaa Farms with mortars and guided missiles.

In short In his message on the morning of October seventh, 2023, the commander-in-chief of Qassam Brigades, Mohammed al-Deif, called upon “our brothers in the resistance in Lebanon, Iran, Yemen, Iraq and Syria” to join the resistance in Palestine.

These forces have already vowed to prevent the overthrow of any one of them. One of them may receive painful blows in the course of a conflict. But the elimination of any one of them would cross a red line into regional escalation.

When the leaders of the occupying entity announce their intention to eliminate the resistance in Gaza, it will induce a radical change in the rules of the conflict in Palestine, its surroundings, and ultimately in the entire Arab world. The resistance in Gaza is not only the cornerstone of the Palestinian cause, it is also the spearhead of any project to liberate Palestine.

Given These Facts

The Zionist colonial entity is in an unprecedented predicament.

It has received a decisive blow to the deterrence system that it had built over decades.

Restoring deterrence can only be achieved by eliminating the resistance in Gaza through a ground war and re-occupying the Gaza Strip.

An operation of this scope is not easy in itself, especially with the evolving capabilities of the resistance.

An operation of this scope would also mean opening other fronts against the occupation.

The entity–and behind it the United States and European countries–does not want to open fronts it cannot handle simultaneously. Its army is distributed on three fronts: Gaza, the northern border (with Lebanon), and the West Bank, where more than half of its combat forces are deployed. Moreover, waging a war on this scale requires a supply of ammunition from the United States. Much of that ammunition has already been requested by Ukraine in its war against Russia. The US military has 12 strategic ammunition depots in occupied Palestine, and it has already emptied eight of them by transferring them to Ukraine. This fact is not a marginal one. Delivering the ammunition to one party will be to the detriment of either the capabilities of the Israeli occupation army or the capabilities of the Ukrainian army, both of which rely entirely on Western armaments.

The war also disrupts normalization projects with the Arab world and beyond. In the shadow of the war, and after it, it will be significantly more difficult to reach normalization agreements with countries that have not yet signed them. And this US project is one of Biden’s most prominent bets in his election campaign. This matter also enters into the calculations of decision-makers in Tel Aviv and Washington.

Conclusion

Failing to achieve the goal of restoring deterrence will place the “national security” of the Zionist entity in jeopardy.

Seeking to restore deterrence by destroying the resistance in the Gaza Strip will lead to a regional war.

This is precisely the predicament in which the Zionist entity finds itself."

Who else remembers in 2011 the resistance exchanged one captured occupier for over one thousand Palestinians? I think they will free many more this time. This is how you free political prisoners. Take note.

"During the Maidan coup American Federation of Teachers (AFT) President Randi Weingarten, whose grandparents left Ukraine due to the Bolshevik Revolution, traveled there to meet with Ukrainian trade unionists. Weingarten claimed that reports of fascists in the protests were “Russian propaganda.”

Weingarten is on the board of the NED-funded National Democratic Institute (NDI) and is a member of the Democratic National Committee (DNC). In 2009, Weingarten was a speaker at an event titled Assisting Independent Trade Unions in Cuba. The event was sponsored by several organizations, including the NED, Freedom House, and the Albert Shanker Institute. A former AFT President, Shanker was one of the key union officials involved in supporting Solidarity in Poland, along with fellow CIA asset Bayard Rustin.

In 2019 members of the U.S Congress considered declaring the Azov Battalion a terrorist organization. In response Volynets and several other members of parliament signed a letter defending and praising the Azov Battalion. The letter also stressed the idea that Ukraine should join NATO in the future.

“All of us are staunch supporters of deepening the relations between our nations even further, to the point when we eventually become allies after Ukraine joins NATO.”"

What Frank (2004) labels as “organized labor’s embrace of the American Century” was motivated, at least in part, by self-interest. Labor leaders “believed that domination of the world economy by U.S. corporations was good for American workers, and so they allied themselves with those forces that supported U.S. corpo- rate expansion, and especially investment in developing countries” (Scipes 2000, 5). Loyalty and allegiance were to secure for the U.S. working class a “share of the great American pie,” as expanding markets overseas and the growth of a massive defense sector at home were seen through the prism of winning jobs and wages for American workers (Radosh 1969, 452; see also Wehrle 2003). American political leaders, for their part, though often opposing organized labor domestically, saw the AFL-CIO as providing a helpful legitimizing presence in pursuing foreign policy objectives abroad, as well as an institutional vehicle for skirting around legal restrictions on direct government involvement in funding political, labor, and civil society organizations in other countries (Lens 1970).

...

hopes for real change have been undermined by the AFL-CIO’s continued reliance on U.S. government funding to support its international work (provided through the U.S. State Department, the U.S. Agency for International Development, and especially, the quasi-governmental NED), its reluctance to open the books and “clear the air” on its past cold war activities, its continued lack of transparency regarding its international work, and its ties to orga- nizations involved in a 2002 coup attempt against President Hugo Chavez in Venezuela (Scipes 2005a, 2005b, 2007a; Shorrock 2003). Even in the best-case sce- narios, U.S. labor internationalism today frequently tends to be characterized by paternalism (“a habit of telling foreign workers and unionists what is best for them”), by America-firstism (“seeing our own interests and priorities through a prism of eco- nomic nationalism”) (Ancel 2000, 29, 30), and by a baseline assumption “that the AFL-CIO has the right to use its influence and U.S. government funds to restructure the labor unions of . . . far smaller [countries that are] overshadowed by Washington’s power” (Sustar 2005, 106)."

"...The 21st century must be our century. We have to promote practical cooperation of greater impact, of a higher level in education, in science and technology. Science and technology cannot be separated from education. We have to link it and we have to promote practical cooperation between regions, between countries. And we have to ask our brothers and sisters who have made more progress to help each other. We have to ask for more support, more help. I have just arrived from China, and one is truly impressed by the scientific and technological advances in all fields of social life, of economic life, of the life of society.

We have to ask the new emerging powers that occupy a fundamental space in this 21st century and are part of our family, such as China, India, among others, to allow us to make more progress in access to knowledge, to technology. Applied to health, a fundamental element. Applied to agriculture and food production. Applied to the development of industry, applied to the development and management of outer space, which we cannot do without no matter how small our countries may be. Knowledge, science and technology have been applied to telecommunications, social networks and the Internet.

If there is something where there is a marked gap and that all our peoples know it, it is the management of the internet. Who manages the internet? Who produces the internet? Who has imposed with the hegemony of the internet the social networks that today circulate in all our countries without any type of regulation of legislation, any type of control? That as well as the social networks can impact, as they impact today in a dominant and fundamental way, the social and communicational life of our countries, without the possibility that the national states can have some kind of orientation, regulation, as would be necessary. So it is necessary to prioritize the application of knowledge to science and technology to achieve communicational independence in the phenomenon of the internet and social networks...."

"Even if Ukraine ends up fractured, under a US-selected military commander, permanently polluted with mines and depleted uranium dust, with a collapsed infrastructure and half of its prior population - even then, Ukraine can still be seen as an American forward base in the coming decade. It cannot be spoken - but that is the 'win' scenario for the Pentagon and US defense contractors, and it is quite achievable – and creative politicians and strategists will claim that this "successful outcome" was created for them by Russia's SMO,"
