The apologists of the political Zionists in Israel would love their lies to be believed claimed that the recent retaliatory attacks on Israel by Iran were failures. Do not believe the lies, because they are just that. The attacks were hugely successful. This is not to make Iran complacent, though.
Anyone in doubt about the success of the Iran attacks should ask some of the thousands of the Israelis running out to any place but their country, Israel. Hundreds of them troop to the nearest airport in Israel daily for a one way journey out of the country. Some other parts of Jerusalem, the Israeli capital, were also struck by the Iranian missiles with so much devastation that the Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, was seen in a bunker scurrying to his room for dear life. This suggests that the coward Israel leader, who is always happy to send the Palestinians into their graves, is scared of death.
Or Mr. Shamir, an Israeli, who expressed his anger at what the Zionists regime in Israel is leading the country into. In his column in Haazart newspaper, one of Israel’s leading newspapers, he asserted that what the Netanyahu-led government in Israel is doing in Gaza, Iran and other places, in continuation of its war mongering, does not enjoy the support of most of the Jews in the country and some parts of the world.
Again, the aerial photograph of the destruction caused by the Iranian retaliatory military attacks on Israel’s one of the most guarded military airstrips, where it had many F35 and F15 among other planes, on the ready, waiting for the order to take off for attack on Palestinians in Gaza (again), with a view to eliminating the entire population from the face of the earth, was a picture that could not have lied about what actually took place there.
The aerial photograph not only exposed the fallacy of the claim of ‘invincibility’ and power of the ‘Iron Dome’, ‘David Sling’ and ‘Arrow 2’ and ‘Arrow 3’, missiles, all of which ‘protected’ the Israeli airspace at the same time. The failure of these lines of aerial defence to stop all the many missiles unleashed by Iran, has caused the Israeli defence industry a considerable loss of money as well as face. Many of their customers and potential customers have changed their mind and deserted them.
Well before then, the coordinated explosions of many pagers and walkie talkies, killing some members of Hezbollah, has forced many Arab countries, particularly Saudi Arabia, to relocate their order for cell phones to China, with specific instructions that everything must be produced in that country. This had resulted in huge financial losses for Western and Israeli phone and allied accessories companies.
A unanimous Israeli soldier stated in unambiguous terms that what the country’s government was asking the military to do to the Palestinians was nothing but ‘mass murder’. He therefore, called on his superiors to refuse to take such orders that called for total massacre, which includes killing of innocent people, not sparing women and children, who are innocent of the ongoing war in the region.
A retired US Colonel, McGregor, in an appeal titled, ‘American people Netanyahu wants to drag the US into war with Iran’, stated that, “Netanyahu, who will visit Washington DC this week, would no doubt elaborate his plans for wider war with the Middle East. His plans should be taken very seriously by every American citizen.
“At this moment, the war in Gaza has destroyed and disrupted millions of lives. Precise numbers are hard to confirm, but hundreds of thousands of Palestinians and increasingly Israelis have been internally displaced, wounded or killed. These aren’t just numbers. There are shattered families and ruined lives. Yet there are policymakers in Washington contemplating war with Iran. I ask you, if the human cost in Gaza, a localised conflict is this high, how much higher will the cost of a war with Iran be?
“For decades we have lurched from one costly conflict to another, Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Libya, Somalia and Ukraine. The price? Tens of trillions and thousands of American lives. But who pays the price? Not the policymakers or the defence contractors who profit from these wars. It is the children of farmers, truckers, nurses and plumbers who fight, suffer and die.
“We confront new alliances determined to stop American meddling in the affairs of other countries. These new alliances include Iran, Russia, China and a host of others who wait on the sidelines to stop Washington’s reckless misadventures. Russia’s Foreign Minister, Sergei Labrov’s recent warning that ‘any conflict with Iran risks drawing other foreign powers’, must be taken seriously.
“Let me be clear, no state, especially a democratic republic like ours should ever threaten a war until it is prepared to follow through. At this point of our history, Washington knows or should know that our nation or armed forces are not ready for any war with any major power, six to seven thousand miles away from the United States.
“We are close to 35 trillions in debt. This is almost 100% of our Gross Domestic Product (GDP). We are paying 2.4 billion dollars in interest every day. Everybody in Washington should have understood this a long time ago. A war with Iran will devastate our economy. Imagine the Strait of Hormuz, a narrow see highway between and other Arab countries, closed. Everyday one fifth of the world oil passes through this passage. If war shuts it down, the price of gas will go up, affecting everything from your daily commute to the cost of groceries.
“We are already feeling the punch from Huthi disruptions in the Red Sea. Now picture that multiplied many times over. A full scale war with Iran would not be just an inconvenience, it would trigger an economic crisis that would hit every American family horrid, potentially leading to job losses, fortunes wiped out and deep recession.
“And let us not forget at the outset of wars, those advocating for it are always convinced that it would be short and decisive. History shows that they are always wrong. We have seen this before in Afghanistan, Iraq and Ukraine. Strategies fail. Yet, instead of reassessment, we double down on failure. The same think tanks, pundits and war contractors, push for more conflict, more, spending, more sacrifices from others. This isn’t just a failure of strategy, it is a failure of our capability. We must remember that the first priority of our obligations is the security of the nation itself. Any action that could put the survival of our state at risk, must be avoided at all cost. A war with Iran, with its potential to escalate into a global conflict, poses just such a risk.
“This is where you come in, Americans. Call your representatives and remind them of the reality at home. 70% of Americans still live on pay checks to pay checks, struggling with high food and fuel prices. To our policymakers, before pledging military action against Iran or any other country, consider the welfare of your constituents, the single mother working two jobs, the veteran battling Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), the young couple postponing a family because they could not afford a home. Are you willing to tell them their suffering is worth another war? The self defeating policy of open ended military intervention with unattainable military objectives must END”.
In another television station, the episode of Scott Evans co-anchored popular ‘Access Hollywood’ entertainment news program, an unnamed American citizen stated categorically that Israel was the loser in the ongoing war with the Iran backed Palestinians.
According to him, “As we speak, Israel is not winning in Gaza, killing civilians is not a measure of military victory. They are not winning against the war. They are being defeated by Hezbollah. So, I think Israel has lost, and the question is now ‘when will Israel realise that it has lost, and when will they realise that if they continue they can lose everything, and that their only way to survive is to agree to a Palestinian state’? And the moment that happens there will be a Palestinian state.
“And I think what has happened here is that the West has got Israel wrong. We always accepted Israel as America defined it. No one ever paid attention to the crimes that are committed by Israel. No one paid attention to the crimes that perpetrated on a daily basis against the Palestinian people by political Zionism.
“When we spoke about Israel settlers, we were not allowed to be critical, because to be critical means you are criticising political Zionism, and therefore, you are automatically called an anti Semite. And I think that NARRATIVE has CHANGED. People challenged that, they are saying no, we could be critical of Zionism without being anti Semitic. Zionism is an evil, but we are not saying being Jewish is an evil. There is a difference . The pro Israeli lobby, the pro Israel narrative do not want it to change. In the United States for instance, if you speak against Zionism, you are called antisemitic, but that is now being pushed back on.
“The Arab world which had long abandoned Palestine, is now rallying around Palestine, because the crimes that Israel is committing are so horrific that they cannot be ignored. You can’t ignore what Israel is doing to the Palestinians. I think there has to be a Palestinian state. I don’t think there could be peace without a Palestinian state. And unlike the past, Israel has lost the world. The world has given lip service to a Palestinian state, they said we believe in it, but they didn’t believe in it, because they never acted on it. For the first time, the world wants a Palestinian state.
Talking about the film, ‘The Truth About October 7 EXPOSED’, the unnamed American concluded by stating that, “On October 6th, no one was talking about a Palestinian state, no one. But today? Everybody is talking about a Palestinian state, because it is realised that it is the only way to bring peace to the region. Yes, there will be a Palestinian state because there is no other option”.
Still, another clip Titled ‘The One Video That Israel Doesn’t Want You To See’. The programme was aired by Double Down News (DDN), and presented on Aljazeera Television by Mr. Richard Sanders, who was described as a ‘TV producer, Journalist and Author. In the video, Mr. Richard explained the many instances of Western World, its media and Isreal’s duplicity and lies, when talking and reporting about Palestinians and their country.
Explaining the cold shoulder given to the film ‘October 7’, because of the ‘actual lies’ it has exposed being bandied by the three, Mr. Richard noted that the alleged brutal killing of over thirty Israeli children and the rape of many Israeli women NEVER happened. They were lies propagated by Israel, the West and the Zionists controlled media as part of the psychological warfare against the Palestinians in Gaza.
Some white people in the Western World have started to openly ask ‘why is it ONLY Israel was allowed to possess nuclear weapons in the whole of Middle East, while other countries are prevented by the same West from having the nuclear weapons, or even the possession of nuclear reactors for peaceful purposes.
In a YouTube video, George Gallowing said it was absolutely wrong of some Western countries to prevent and prohibit countries in the Middle East to possess nuclear weapons while allowing and assisting Israel to build, possess and maintain same.
To make matters worse for Israel, not long ago, many United Nations (UN) members walked out in great numbers as the Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu walked towards the podium to speak. This was rarely heard of in the UN, but the blatant Western aided atrocities of Israel against the Palestinians has angered the rest of the world to take the action.
This so enraged the Israel Foreign Minister, Mr. Israel Katz to overstretch his bounds and declare the Secretary General of the United Nations, Mr.. Antonio Guterres a persona non grata in Israel, a declaration which only the minister of Interior can make.
Sometime last year, majority of the members of the International Court of Justice ( ICJ) declared the Israeli Prime Minister as a ‘mass murderer’, who must be tried before the International Court of Human Rights (ICHR) as a criminal.
In also another television interview with an Iranian professor, aired by the unapologetic pro Israel Sky TV, the anchor was taken to the cleaners by his (invited host) on the issue of the Western World’s blind support for Israel, making the governments and the media to turn a blind eye on the atrocities Israel is committing against the Palestinians. When the anchor tried to label his host ‘an anti Semite’, the host said he was not anti Semite, but in support of the oppressed people, as he did in Ukraine.
In Ukraine, according to the professor, he was against the invading Russia, and in support of the occupied country, adding that his support for the oppressed wherever they may be makes him consistent. But that is further from what can be claimed by the West and its mainstream media, which ’always exhibit double standards when it comes to anything Israel’, further added the professor. He also asserted that the two are in the habit of calling those who dare to voice opposition to the murderous activities of the Israeli regime, as anti Semites, but quick to claim that the massacres that were carried (by Israel) as self defence. The US and the UK always use their UN Veto Power to support Israel and whatever crime the country committed.
In any case, God will always give the sinner a long time to repent and turn to Him, failure of which His wrath will, in the long run, reach the sinner. Zionism is ALWAYS opposed to the commands of God, falsely believing that as ‘God’s chosen people’, they could do anything and still be forgiven. Zionists are behind the anti God, but pro devil group, the Lesbians, bisexuals, Gays, Transgender and Others (LBGTQ+), introduced to defy God and encourage immorality in the world.
NB:: I have not made any postings these past few days because I was on a regular leave, facilitated by the absence of electricity in my area since 8.00am on Friday to this moment of Monday, despite the tariff hike of 100% from N15,000 to N30,000 I am forced to pay every month. More money, less electricity.
The pre paid meter in my house was trickizshly ‘stolen’ by a staff of the electricity supplier, who claimed that it needed to be repaired at N50,000. As the old meter was hard to come by, the demanded amount was given, after which the staff asked for N20,000 more, saying that the first amount of N50,000 was not enough. That was the end of the story as the involved party refused to answer unaccountable calls on his phone. It was two years and six months ago.
Anyway, my holiday was not the working kind, and my deputy was therefore, in charge. I have nothing to hide from anyone. Any statement suggesting otherwise is not sanctioned by, or from, me.
May God never be, or show His wrath to or, against us in the final home. May we also never ever be victims of the anger and fury of the fire in the next world.
