The illusion of a solution: killing Hassan Nasrallah : Comments
By Binoy Kampmark, published 30/9/2024The ongoing Israeli operation against Hezbollah, the Iranian-backed militia group so dominant in Lebanon, is following a standard pattern. Ignore base causes. Ignore context. Target leaders, and target personnel.

AC,
You surely can't be that naive or ignorant in your timeline to the Nasrallah removal. In between your claimed points of 3 and 4 the following happened: * Israel exploded about 1500 pagers blowing the various body parts off a huge number of Hezbollah commanders and soldiers. * The next day Israel exploded a huger number of radios taking out an even greater number of terrorists * Then Israel started using the intel these pagers and radios had provided to start taking out Hezbollah 'safe' sites, munitions depots and rocket launchers as well as targeting their tunnels. Yet, according to you, Nasrallah remained oblivious to his impending doom and blithely went along to a meeting safe in the knowledge that a ceasefire was imminent. Actually what happened was that, since they could no longer use electronic communications (see pagers above) they needed to have a meeting of what top brass remained and they thought it was safe to do it in some unknown location. Except its now clear that Israel knows pretty much everything there is to know I get that you always need to realign facts to fit your fantasies but this timeline is unhinged. ______________________________________________________________________ Yep the IDF have now crossed the border and will enforce UN resolution 1701 themselves after the Lebanese army and the utterly duplicitous UN failed to even try to do so. Hezbollah might survive in some fashion after all this but they will be massively diminished. There are reports of celebrations in Syria at the taking down of Nasrallah and Hezbollah. Likewise there are reports that the Lebanese army has withdrawn from the border to allow the IDF to do what it needs to do to the terrorists. The Lebanese may yet recover their nation and for that they are also, it is said, celebrating and urging on the IDF. Oh, and the Houthis. _____________________________________________________________________ After the Hamas atrocities, Netanyahu said that the Israeli retaliation would be comprehensive and that at the end of it, the Middle East would look very different. The Iranian proxy empire is being dismantled piece by piece. Posted by mhaze, Tuesday, 1 October 2024 11:27:34 AM

More from the Israel-knows-all file.
A while back the Iranians set up a new unit to specifically combat Mossad and Israel infiltration of Iran's military and nuclear programmes. It is now revealed that the head of that new agency as well as 20 or so of their agents actually worked for Mossad. Gigantic amounts of information about the Iranian nuclear programme are now in the hands of the Israelis. And we can safely assume that the bombing death of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh was controlled by these Mossad double-agents. If the writers of the James Bond franchise came along with a story that involved a 3 year long operation to put booby-trapped pagers and radios in the hands of Smersh and then place a double-agent at the head of their counter-intelligence unit, it would be rejected as too far-fetched and unbelievable. Indeed, what the Israelis have managed to achieve is unbelievable and the world is better for it. Posted by mhaze, Tuesday, 1 October 2024 11:38:28 AM

Diver Dan
The article by Muhannad Alazzeh which mhaze quotes, on which you commented “Yes to all of that” is the same one I linked to, on which you commented “Quoting from a Newsweek article shows the absurdity of his/her/its argument for peace and lack of grip on the situation."

"You surely can't be that naive or ignorant in your timeline to the Nasrallah removal. In between your claimed points of 3 and 4 the following happened"
You surely can't be that naive to think that when I post the contents of someone else's tweet, that the info comes from me first hand? I got the info first last night from Alastair Crooke, former 30yr veteran of MI6. He was the former EU special envoy to the Middle East and worked out of the British Embassy in Tel Aviv. Watch it yourself, knock yourself out. I saw the tweet in my X feed earlier this morning.

AC,
Oh so you post stuff that even don't think is true. OK, got it. I'll have to bear that mind. Or do you just reserve the right to pretend to not believe it once its shown to be rubbish? Posted by mhaze, Tuesday, 1 October 2024 4:18:51 PM
