Closing fronts to deal with ISIS

by system failure

It's not a surprise that Israel and Hamas reached a ceasefire deal, after the new death toll of over 2,000 civilians caused by the Israelis in Gaza, because it's not the first time. The Israeli military attacks Gaza every two years or so after all. (http://failedevolution.blogspot.gr/2014/08/other-reasons-for-ongoing-crime-in-gaza.html) What should surprise us is that Israel accepted some terms which were essentially rejected during previous negotiations, (http://www.washingtonpost.com/world/middle_east/israel-hamas-reach-cease-fire-deal-brokered-by-egypt/2014/08/26/cc834c02-2d49-11e4-bb9b-997ae96fad33_story.html) while its primary goal was to bring Gaza closer to total destruction and destroy the Hamas-Fatah approach.

The explanation for Israel's move at this specific moment has to do probably with the ISIS threat. Recent incidents show that ISIS, which appears to be out of control for the moment, is getting closer to Israel too. Israeli officials expressed their concerns for the clashes between Syrian troops and Syrian rebels at the Golan Heights (http://www.voanews.com/content/israel-concerned-over-syrian-rebels-in-golan/2436370.html), while recently, Israel army has shot down an unidentified drone that flew from Syria into Israeli-controlled airspace over this region. (http://rt.com/news/line/2014-08-31/#69624)

There was also another incident with the 43 UN peacekeepers detained by "armed elements" in the region. (http://www.china.org.cn/world/2014-08/29/content_33372087.htm) Therefore, these concerns by the Israeli officials are justified, especially if we consider that many Syrian rebels probably have joined ISIS. Other information also shows that ISIS militants are capable of capturing military equipment which includes even warplanes. (http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2014-08-30/how-isis-building-airforce)

The ISIS threats, however, are not limited to the West or Israel. Takfiri militants have reportedly threatened to attack Saudi Arabia too. (http://www.presstv.ir/detail/2014/08/26/376663/isil-threatens-to-attack-saudi-arabia/) ISIS is turning against everyone, even its initial supporters. (http://failedevolution.blogspot.gr/2014/08/the-powers-behind-islamic-state.html)

Latest news concerning the threat against Putin which includes plans for "liberating" Chechnya and Caucasus, (http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2014-09-03/isis-threatens-putin-caliphate-chechnya-kadyrov-responds-you-will-be-destroyed) came surprisingly close to the ceasefire agreement (or attempt for agreement) between Kiev and Moscow. Normally, the neocon "clowns" would be very happy with such threats, but the beheading of the second American journalist, Steven Sotloff, leaves no alternative but to deal with the ISIS and the US public opinion.

Everything points to the fact that maybe some underground "unofficial" channels between NATO and Russia have been mobilized, after a long time, so that to reach a - even temporary - ceasefire agreement in Ukraine. Neocons have ridiculously failed one more time. After the mess they brought in Iraq, they had this "brilliant idea" to support these militant groups so that to bring down Assad regime, which is attached to Russia, and probably destabilize Iran too. Now they are closing fronts and call everyone to destroy ISIS.

But again, the ruthless neocons won't stop. They will continue to provoke Russia as they feel that their plans are being threatened. (http://failedevolution.blogspot.gr/2014/08/temporary-turn-of-180-degrees-by-neocon.html) Let's hope that they will fail one more time.

"Kidnapped in Int'l Waters": Israel Intercepts Gaza-Bound Aid Ship, Detains Greta Thunberg & Others

Democracy Now!   Eleven peace activists and one journalist on board the Gaza Freedom Flotilla ship, the "Madleen," were detained by Israeli soldiers as their ship carrying vital humanitarian aid for starving Palestinians approached Gaza.    The ship was intercepted by Israeli forces in the middle of the night in international waters. Its supplies were seized and communications jammed. The unarmed activists will likely be transported to Israeli detention or "immediately deported," says Ann Wright, a U.S. military veteran who has participated in four Freedom Flotilla journeys and now serves on the steering committee of the Freedom Flotilla Coalition. She calls on citizens of countries around the world to push for the activists' release and an end to Israel's war on Gaza. 

How Israel’s Supporters Play Victim to Justify Genocide & Silence Critics

BreakThrough News   As Israel commits a live-streamed genocide in Gaza, Western media and political elites continue to center one narrative: Jewish fear. But what about the actual victims of this genocide—Palestinians? Journalist Nora Barrows-Friedman joins Rania Khalek on Dispatches for a fearless conversation on Zionist indoctrination in the Jewish diaspora, how antisemitism is being weaponized to silence critics of Israel, and how Jewish identity politics has been manipulated to cover for unspeakable crimes. From the media blackout on Israeli war crimes to the erasure of anti-Palestinian hate crimes—even in the diaspora—Nora lays bare the contradictions and power structures behind it all. 

How the EU is using anti-Russia sanctions to criminalise journalism

The EU sanctioned me and my media outlet for covering Palestine protests in Germany. It’s part of Europe’s growing authoritarianism and militarism, cloaked in language of fighting disinformation and defending democracy.   by Hüseyin Dogru   Part 2 - How the EU uses anti-Russian hysteria to smear Palestine solidarity journalism   The official rationale for sanctioning me hinges on red .’s alleged links to Russian influence. The EU sanctions listing cited just two pieces of “evidence”: that some red. staff had previously worked for Russian-funded media, and that we covered “politically controversial subjects” – specifically: Palestine. That’s it. The listing accuses me, through my work with red ., of “facilitating violent demonstrations”, amplifying “radical Islamic terrorist narratives” and claims our staff “coordinated with occupiers”. Not a single piece of evidence is cited, apart from the fact that we published footage of a pro-Palestine student occupation in Berlin. I...

UN report confirms: Israel is a terrorist state and its goal is to exterminate all Palestinians

Israeli attacks on educational, religious and cultural sites in the Occupied Palestinian Territory amount to war crimes and the crime against humanity of extermination, UN Commission says.     globinfo freexchange Israel has obliterated Gaza’s education system and destroyed over half of all religious and cultural sites in the Gaza Strip, part of a widespread and relentless assault against the Palestinian people in which Israeli forces have committed war crimes and the crime against humanity of extermination, the UN Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem and Israel, said in a new report [yesterday].

How the U.S. & Israel Used Rafael Grossi to Hijack the IAEA and Start a War on Iran

Rafael Grossi, Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), allowed the IAEA to be used by the United States and Israel—an undeclared nuclear weapons state in long-term violation of IAEA rules—to manufacture a pretext for war on Iran, despite his agency’s own conclusion that Iran had no nuclear weapons program.   by Medea Benjamin - Nicolas J. S. Davies On June 12th, based on a damning report by Grossi, a slim majority of the IAEA Board of Governors voted to find Iran in non-compliance with its obligations as an IAEA member. Of the 35 countries represented on the Board, only 19 voted for the resolution, while 3 voted against it, 11 abstained and 2 did not vote. The United States contacted eight board member governments on June 10th to persuade them to either vote for the resolution or not to vote. Israeli officials said they saw the U.S. arm-twisting for the IAEA resolution as a significant signal of U.S. support for Israel’s war plans, revealing how much Isra...

War criminal Netanyahu is pushing the Orange Clown and the US into the abyss

globinfo freexchange   It seems that the war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu, is rushing to accelerate the decline of the US empire by forcing Donald Trump into an utterly devastating war with Iran.   Trump shot himself in the foot during his first term by killing the Iran nuclear deal just because he wanted to erase everything from the Obama legacy. His insane narcissism pushed him into crazy acts and made him believe that he could make another deal with Iran credited solely on him.   But now he is in big trouble because he has to deal with a corrupted psychopath who won't hesitate to burn the entire planet just to save himself.  As if the genocide of Palestinians in Gaza was not enough, the out-of-control psychopath Netanyahu, is doing whatever he can to drag the US into a war with Iran. As he realized that the Iranians are approaching the negotiating table again, (rather surprisingly with the man that killed the first deal and assassinated Qasem Soleimani), he decide...
