A happy confident Iranian child...

Hot on the heels of what was looking like a relatively
successful meeting (for the Israelis) between Netanyahu and Obama whereby Obama
didn’t exactly give the green light to Israel but nonetheless didn’t disagree
with Netanyahu that Israel must do what it thinks is best for Israel, comes two
pieces of news that will not be liked by Netanyahu and his Zionist cohorts.
The first is that the Iranians have invited the IAEA to visit what the IAEA considered to be Iran’s most secret nuclear installation at Parchin, previously off-limits because it is under military control. At the very least this will put back any plans the Israelis had for an imminent attack against Iran as the US ~ who are more than likely seething as well ~ have no choice but to hold-off any covert support for an attack against Iran pending an outcome to the IAEA’s inspection of the facility and their report.
The second piece of unwelcome news for Israel and the US is that Hamas has declared that it will not militarily support Iran in the event of a war between Israel and Iran. The news is unwelcome because it deprives Israel of a casus belli to attack Hamas in the Gaza Strip which the Israelis were hoping to invade and occupy on the pretext of preventing Hamas from attacking Israel in retaliation for Israel attacking Iran. In the process of invading the Gaza the Israelis were hoping to destroy Hamas once and for all.

Typical Iranian family
The fly in the ointment as far as Hamas is concerned is the Syrian civil war (and let there be no doubt, this is a civil war). While Hamas, a Sunni organization, supports neither side, the support Hamas received from President Assad was for purely political reasons inasmuch that Syrians and Palestinians have a common problem; large portions of their lands (in the Syrians case, the Golan Heights) are occupied by Israeli Zionists.

The problem became complicated because Iran, which is
predominately Shia, supports the Alawite (Shia) minority government led by
Assad who is an Alawite. To complicate things further, Hezbollah in Lebanon is
a Shia organization that is supported by both Assad in Syria and Iran. Now that
Hamas has withdrawn its support of Assad it has also effectively distanced
itself from Iran as well.
Iran had been financially supporting Hamas in the Gaza Strip for years to the tune of many millions of dollars per month. That has now all but ceased. For Hamas the shortfall has been made up by other Arab nation’s donations but to nowhere near the levels that Iran contributed. Apart from the political problems, Iran’s own financial situation hasn’t helped either. Both Syria and Iran are also finding it increasingly difficult to finance Hezbollah as well.
In light of these latest developments, it is unlikely that Israel will attack Iran just yet – as much as they would otherwise like to. Meanwhile, time is running out for Assad in Syria and, while the West is hopeful that Assad will be toppled, the replacement regime will in all likelihood not be one that the West would prefer.
The Syrian opposition is mostly made up of Sunni Muslim groups that are largely sympathetic to the Palestinian cause ~ which, in turn, further creates a problem for Israel.

Lebanon, as well as being home to the Shia Hezbollah group, as also home to hundreds of thousand of Sunni Palestinian
refugees who are as equally keen to return to their homes as the Syrians
are to the Golan Heights.
Just as the post revolutionary Egyptians are sympathetic to the
Palestinians, especially those in the Gaza Strip, so it might be that any new
regime in Syria will be sympathetic to the cause of Palestinian refugees in
Lebanon.
And, while Hezbollah have had problems with some Palestinian
guerrilla groups in Lebanon in the past, they have generally had a good rapport
with the Palestinian refugees and the realignment of the political situation in
this region of the Middle East could well see a new détente between the two
evolve that serves all interests ~ including Syria’s and possibly even Iran’s.
There are some very interesting but also very dangerous times ahead.
UPDATE
A report appearing in Ha’aretz today says that Hamas refutes earlier reports that Hamas would not be supporting Iran by attacking Israel in the event of Israel attacking Iran.

it's disinformation - the plans for removing Iran have nothing to do with supposed Is-ra-el's security nor Iran's nuclear development program. it's all about removing another potential competitor from the region that will become "greater israhell" ... we're are witnessing the usual dealings by the masters of disingenuous propaganda; zionists know that the world - including growing numbers of North Americans - have caught on to their crimes against humanity - and only attempt to buy time - in order to 1) have the general public forget about their current, ongoing, criminal deeds (they will do this by erasing opinions with non-stop re-direction of attention onto other topics and all the usual psyop propaganda) 2) reformulate their plans or revert to plans B or C or D
ReplyDeleteObama is 100% a zionist; he wants the cushy job of president again and the historical distinction of the man who buried the USA (literally and figuratively) by means of establishing another "neo-communist (talmudic) utopia" and destroying the all sectors of the predominant race that poses another great competition to the zionist world order (likely to begin as soon as the zionist have finished their immediate goals of subduing and subjugating the Mid-East ...)
the main issue is that these people (all zionists) have been and are committing crimes against humanity - for a very long time and must be stopped
