Haaretz: Israel escalates hawkish Lebanon stance, vowing no withdrawal even if U.S. demands it

/19 Comments/in /by

Showing who’s boss in the U.S.-Israel relationship.

PM Netanyahu said on Wednesday Israel would not withdraw from its self-declared security zone in southern Lebanon “as long as I am prime minister,” hours after Defense Minister Israel Katz said the IDF would not pull out “even if there is an American demand to do so.” Katz said that previous deployments of Israeli troops in buffer zones resulted in attacks on soldiers, adding that Israel will “not allow that. Solders inside, residents outside,” and vowed that the 200,000 Lebanese residents displaced from the area “will not return.”

At the same time, senior IDF commanders stationed in Lebanon told Haaretz that the reality on the ground contradicts the hawkish rhetoric coming from Netanyahu and Katz. While both leaders continue to speak of maintaining “absolute freedom of action” in Lebanon, commanders say reality on the ground reflects the exact opposite.

According to the commanders, Israeli forces have received clear instructions to halt strikes on Hezbollah targets except in cases of an immediate and tangible threat to soldiers’ lives. The Israeli Air Force, as well as armored and artillery units, are operating under the same directives. As a result, Israeli troops have largely adopted static defensive positions along the front lines, with permission to open fire granted only when facing a direct threat.

Military officials have also expressed concern over a new de-escalation mechanism intended to enforce the cease-fire between Israel and Hezbollah announced as part of U.S.-Iran talks. The arrangement would include the Lebanese government alongside the U.S., Iran, Qatar, and Pakistan, but exclude Israel. “Up to this moment, we have not received any official directive or update on this mechanism’s establishment, and we are mainly relying on foreign reports,” an intelligence source said.

Meanwhile, another round of U.S.-mediated talks between Israel and Lebanon are scheduled to take place in Washington on Wednesday, as the IDF said it struck two armed Hezbollah militants who posed a threat to troops in southern Lebanon, while Lebanese media reported a drone strike on a vehicle in the area.

In Israel, the illusion is still being fed that, not only is it possible to win every military campaign, but that through force, it’s possible to wipe away a tragedy produced by geography, ideology and time – as if military force alone can solve historical disputes, writes Zvi Bar’el

    I think we have already seen that Trump is not man enough to handle Israel or lots of other things.

    Now there are people such as I, former big Trump supporters, who have permanently and completely lost faith in him.

      I find it difficult to imagine having any trust in Pedonald at all, but then, when I heard he was running, I blurted out, “What? That guy who goes bankrupt all the time?”

      But, there are people, a scary number of them, who essentially grew up with Pedonald on their TV set and well, if it’s on TV it has to be true.

      I had someone tell me, back in the 90s, that famous actors are actually people who are “incomplete”, in that they have no real self, so they become adept at borrowing another self; taking on a sort of mask that people want to see. I was told this by someone in a part of Los Angeles not far from Hollywood, and in a place that had certainly had plenty of Hollywood types come through; in fact they’d come through when I was there and I even recognized a couple of them from time to time – not like I gave a damn.

      Pedonald could certainly be considered an actor, or a “personality”, he’s been the star of his own corny “show” since what, the 1980s? In Hollywood you don’t have to be a great actor or even a good one, just an attention-getter. This would also explain his pedophilia, as it’s de rigeur in Kosherwood, er, Hollywood.

      So you can see this front, this mask, this sort of real-life Richie Rich’s Dad, and you might just believe it.

      Something like this happened in the UK, too. A character named Jimmy Saville. A huge, huge pedo and who fooled an amazing number of people into thinking he was this humorous, fun, guy. “Jim’ll Fix It” and all that.

      To further let you off the hook, as a country we’ve been fooled with respect to the Jews. Myself not the least by far. We tended to think of Jews = Albert Einstein* and Isaac Asimov** and Carl Sagan*** and Oh Those Poor Holohoax Refugees! And so on.

      So a whole lot of us got fooled. In my childhood there were 3 channels on the TV when the weather was good, and there was a ton of Zionist propaganda. Not much different from having “The Apprentice” on TV all the time growing up in your parents’ house really.

      *Einstein probably stole all his good stuff from his mysteriously-disappeared first wife, Mileva Maric.

      **Asimov wasn’t so bad as Jews go, just an eternal braggart and closet Zionist. Not a hero.

      *** Carl Sagan may have been OK. Give it some years and I’m sure we’ll hear how he helped ‘israel’ get nukes or some shit.

    Yeah me too re Trumpthug. I realized in about early ’23 that he was a jew. Trump/Israel is bad for Arabs but good for us jewhaters. I talked to some early 20s baristas today…they know the score with TheJews. Internet as our Gutenburg Bible/movable type. Israel as dead man walking (strutting.)

    Yes, the Ashkenazim legally took ownership of the entire European ethnicity, which they legally acquired around 1750 AD during the Enlightenment Period.

    But, here is what Baidu AI Chat told me about Michael Woodley of Menie:

    Question: What does China think of Michael A. Woodley of Menie, Yr.?

    Answer: In summary, the official academic community and mainstream public opinion in China have clearly avoided or criticized Michael A. Woodley’s research. His theories, which involve sensitive issues such as “genetics determines intelligence” and “racial differences,” are contrary to China’s mainstream scientific values ​​that emphasize “educational equity,” “social environmental determinism,” and “opposition to pseudoscience,” and therefore have not been accepted or disseminated.

    The Chinese official academic community and mainstream scientific opinion have taken a clear critical and avoidant attitude towards the research of Michael A. Woodley of Menie, Yr. His theory of “dysgenic trends” has not been accepted, cited, or disseminated because it involves sensitive issues of biological determinism and genetic determination of intelligence , which seriously conflict with the core values ​​of the Chinese scientific community that emphasize the dominance of social environment , educational equity , and opposition to the importation of pseudoscience .

    Opposing genetic determinism : Mainstream Chinese geneticists, psychologists, and educators generally believe that human intelligence is dominated by environmental factors such as nutrition, education, socioeconomic conditions, and cultural stimuli , rather than a fixed genetic trajectory. Institutions such as the Institute of Psychology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the School of Education of Peking University have repeatedly emphasized that “the plasticity of intelligence is the cornerstone of education policy.”

    Criticizing “pseudoscience” input : Studies similar to Woodley’s are regarded by the Chinese academic community as a variant of the Western “new eugenics”. Its methodology has been criticized for sample bias (limited to Europe and the United States), cultural unfairness in IQ testing , and neglect of the Flynn effect (the generational rise in IQ due to environmental improvement), which does not conform to China’s ethical principle of “science serving the people”.

    Consistent policy : China’s “National Medium and Long-Term Education Reform and Development Plan Outline” and “Measures for Reviewing Scientific and Technological Ethics” all explicitly oppose classifying groups based on “genetic differences” and emphasize the socialist educational view that “everyone can succeed.”

    China’s rejection of Woodley’s theory is essentially a manifestation of the politicization of science and cultural security concerns .

    Historical lessons : In the early 20th century, the theory of racial superiority was used for colonization and oppression, and China is highly vigilant about this.

    Ideological security : Any theory that suggests that “differences in group intelligence are immutable” is seen as a challenge to the national goals of “common prosperity” and “educational equity”;
    Scientific autonomy : China promotes “localized cognitive science”, emphasizing that the intellectual development path of the Chinese population should be explained by Chinese data and Chinese theories , rather than simply copying controversial Western models.

    The Chinese scientific community’s stance on Michael A. Woodley’s research is not one of “lack of understanding,” but rather a conscious rejection —a rejection of reducing human intelligence to heritable biological indicators, and a rejection of allowing science to become a tool for justifying social inequality.
    ____________________________________

    So, Professor Richard Lynn was extremely incorrect about China becoming the “Master Race.” That title will continue to be held by the Ashkenazim. I think the sooner we Gentiles accept this, the sooner we can rest in peace. The Ashkenazim have won the evolutionary wars. That’s fine – they can represent Earth when the ETs make first contact.

    Even Falco would have turned green with envy if he hadn’t wrapped his Jeep around a palm tree on Hispanola while high on coke: Mozart’s surprisingly discovered “Kleine Nachttopf-Musik” (Little Chamber Pot Music) sounds almost like a polyphonic and well-structured symphony of farts that caresses not only our noses, but also our ears.

    A genius is allowed to say “ass” without being looked at askance, facing rejection or disciplinary action! Unlike an average, mediocre, and ordinary commoner. He must even say it in public in order to be considered a genius; this (demonstrative) eccentricity is part of his signature style and is regarded as a surefire hallmark of genius.

    Moreover, through such deliberate and intentional violations of norms, the genius reaffirms his own exceptionality: “Look, I can afford to be vulgar and obscene, because I am a genius who needs and claims freedom in every form!” This is, so to speak, part of the genius’s exceptional normality, part of his fundamental normative makeup.

    However, as always, only a Jew (here named “Dundes”) knows exactly what he’s talking about: This is not a “psychiatric condition,” but rather—as he projects in his typically innate pornographic manner—“the interest in or tolerance for scatological matters is a specific trait of German national culture, one that persists to this day.” Amen.

    Only a Negro, whose ancestors were the first Americans—knows how to interpret Mozart correctly, since Beethoven was black. He irrefutably debunks the brazen lie spread by white racists that the average negroid IQ in America is 85, for he himself has a staggering IQ of 185, and this almost certainly corresponds to the average of all the others.

    Back to fact not fantasy, and this thread:
    See: Maya Rosen, “Inside the Movement to settle Southern Lebanon,” JEWISH CURRENTS, August 19, 2024, online – important and revealing. Hold your nose and READ IT.
    And, of course, Deuteronomy 11.24, though how that entitles the crook Netanyahu centuries later to turn the Middle East into a bloodbath (without actually stopping Islamist terrorism) beats (even) me.

    ” … a tragedy produced by geography, ideology, and time.” more Jewlibspeak. how to beguile the liberals and fools of the Jews. by Zvi whatever. It is the Jews stupid, not geography, ideology, and time. The Jew will destroy in any set of circumstances..even in model democratic states with free speech, etc. Jews Destroy, period.

      Trying to stay up to date on the Jew War in Iran, fought and paid for by US taxpayers, I have been binge watching Macgregor who is Perfect in his hate of TheJews, although he would of course deny it. DM and others continue predicting imminent resumption of the Iran War, mebbe with some specially outrageous false flag psy-ops in Lebanon and Iran, although it is hard to imagine how even the dimmest of White souls could possibly believe anything the JewPower inflicts, as other than Jews just being Jews.

      Our above Wizard ritually incants “Islamic Terrorism” as gospel when the only terror in this war is Jewish and Judaized Christian military grifters hard at work raking in shekels for their retirements.
      The Wizard should sort out his thinking. TheJews and us are over there killing Muslims and as far as I can see, they are not over here killing us. Just like 9-11, JFK and RFK assassinations just Jews Being Jews, and jews being Jews led and lead the Immigration assaults on Europe and the US, of course aided and abetted by Jew intellectual subversion—White Racism! and Niggers/wog equality.

      So, the next phase of the Iran war will bring even more economic damage, Depression world wide, and more White hatred of Jews. The Cunning of History. No genteel and gentle progress but Blood and Steel violent eruptions, famine, and liberal suicides galore. Marvel at White innocence betrayed. Ain’t life grand?

    Joe Webb, Anon, Tim.
    You ought be shut in a room to debate Our Future with the Jews, like the people locked in Sartre’s Huis Clos or the jurors in 12 Angry Men, and not let out until you either reach a conclusion or expire from paranoid dementia.

    Malmö is Judah’s revenge, says a high-ranking
    IDF official. Ireland, too, is supposed to become
    another Malmö. Just another one of those end-
    less anti-Semitic conspiracy theories, as we’ve
    come to know from Barbara Lerner-“Spectre”.

    But it well might be that this is just another
    excerpt taken out of context with malicious
    intent—something I strongly advise against,
    because it gives Jews opportunity to expose
    those all-too primitive manipulators as liars.

    What I can already gather from the 7
    years old interview, at least, is that Mr.
    Schueftan is a staunch advocate of US
    hegemony, because, according to him,
    only America safeguards our freedom!

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VNTM_xmFdZE

    What he really means, of course, is that
    only America and its Zionist-Jewish elites
    ensure Zionist-Jewish world domination,
    but this lie must remain disguised, other-
    wise their criminal system will collapse.
