Zionists Invade Lebanon to Accelerate Murder/Expulsion of All Palestinians

Will the World Allow It?

The Zionist invasion of Lebanon isn’t just about Lebanon. It isn’t even primarily about Lebanon. Rather, it is an attempt to provoke a huge regional war, under cover of which the Zionist messianic-millenarian fanatics hope to murder and expel the remaining Palestinians from Palestine. (Yes, they do want to exterminate Lebanese too.) Whether they lose that war, as seems likely, or “win” a Pyrrhic victory that turns the world decisively against them, their project is finished.

The zionist entity’s terrorist attacks on Lebanon on September 17/18 and 23 have horrified the world. In the first attack, dozens of people were killed, and thousands wounded, when pagers and radios began exploding. The carnage was indiscriminate. Countless civilians, including many women and children, were killed or maimed by the explosions.

On September 23, the zionists launched hundreds of air strikes on South Lebanon, the Beka‘a Valley as well as South Beirut. At least 569 people were killed and more than 1850 wounded. These attacks continued the following day raising fears that it might erupt in a regional war with catastrophic consequences.

Let us return to the attack in which pagers and radio sets exploded. Mohamad Hasan Sweidan noted that the 9/17 terror attacks have global ramifications:

This shift in the rules of engagement where civilians are targeted not just on the battlefield but in their homes threatens to plunge the world into a new era of insecurity and uncertainty. Governments and citizens alike must now contend with the possibility that the next device they purchase could be weaponized against them as Israel’s aggression moves beyond traditional warfare into the realm of global terror.

The terrorist attack was, like so much else that “Israel” does, a blatant violation of international law. Article 7(2) of the Amended Protocol II of the Convention on Certain Conventional Weapons prohibits the use of booby-trapped devices like pagers, phones, and radios. NPR reported:

A group of United Nations human rights experts called the simultaneous explosions “terrifying” violations of international law. “To the extent that international humanitarian law applies at the time of the attacks there was no way of knowing who possessed each device and who was nearby” the experts said. “Simultaneous attacks by thousands of devices would inevitably violate humanitarian law by failing to verify each target and distinguish between protected civilians and those who could potentially be attacked for taking a direct part in hostilities.”

The terror attack on Lebanon was followed by a massive bombing campaign. As usual, the zionists managed to kill large numbers of civilians. Clearly, they are doing everything they can to incite a regional war.

Why would “Israel” want to provoke a huge war in which it would likely suffer massive damage, if not complete annihilation? The zionist entity’s leadership is dominated by messianic millenarian maniacs, not rational statesmen. Though many are atheists, they believe the God they don’t believe in gave them all of Palestine—and quite possibly everything from the Nile to the Euphrates, or maybe even the entire planet. From the very beginning of the zionist movement, that long-term plan of ethnic cleansing and permanent expansion has been assiduously pursued.

Currently the zionists are gambling on finishing the genocide of Palestine while simultaneously stealing part of Lebanon. As they continue their murderous onslaught on Gaza, which has killed more than 41,000 people in less than a year, they have accelerated attacks on the West Bank. As of September 22, Israeli settlers and their military allies have killed 716 Palestinians and injured more than 5700. Additionally, the zionists have “arrested” (kidnapped) more than 10,000 Palestinian hostages, who are being held in atrocious conditions and being subjected to unspeakable tortures.

The surging zionist violence against West Bank civilians has led the head of Israel’s Shin Bet security service, Ronen Bar, to issue a stark warning to Netanyahu. Haaretz reported:

Last week the head of the Shin Bet Ronen Bar warned in a letter to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and others that Jewish terrorism is endangering Israel’s existence. The leaders of the Jewish terrorists “want to cause the system to lose control, causing indescribable damage to Israel,” Bar wrote...

Bar’s complaint about Jewish terrorism was subsequently endorsed by the Israeli Defense Forces. But it fell on deaf ears. Netanyahu heads an extremist cabinet featuring such messianic-millenarian lunatics as Bezalel Smotrich and Itamar Ben-Gvir. They and their supporters believe that God will help them massacre and expel all Palestinians from Palestine.

Netanyahu, who inherited an atheist version of messianic-millenarian extremism from his father, Benzion Netanyahu, does not expect God to assist his genocide, but intends to do it himself. Indeed, he has devoted his entire political career to that task.

Netanyahu’s argument with other zionists is not about whether or not the Palestinians should be eliminated via genocide—all “Israeli” leaders agree on that basic point—but only on the timetable. Netanyahu is in a hurry and willing to take big risks, while more “moderately genocidal” zionists think it would be wiser to conduct the slaughters and expulsions step-by-step. As Hagai El-Ad recently wrote in The New York Times:

In 1975, the defense minister, Shimon Peres, who went on to sign the initial Oslo Accord agreement, said of occupied land, “The debate going on today is not about the very need for settlement, not even about its map or dimensions, but about the procedures for organizing it.” He added, “More than a debate about vision, it’s a debate about timing.”

The radical zionist plan to accelerate the Palestinian genocide has been picking up steam inside “Israel” for years. Even before the Aqsa Storm operation of October 7, 2023, mainstream zionist politicians had begun calling for a “second Nakba” to complete the Palestinian Holocaust.

In June 2022, over a year before last October’s raid, the Israeli magazine +972published an article headlined “How threats of a second Nakba went mainstream.” The authors noted that “prominent right-wing figures are now openly advocating mass expulsion to preserve Jewish supremacy...Coming from mainstream right-wing leaders such as Katz, Galant and Dayan as opposed to the usual suspects for ‘extremist’ rhetoric such as Itamar Ben Gvir, the Nakba is presented as a legitimate policy decision akin to a speeding ticket or a fine for greenhouse gas emissions.”

While the world’s attention is focused on the genocide of Gaza, the zionists are ramping up their West Bank terrorism aimed at paving the way for the forced expulsion of the Palestinians into Jordan. World Socialist Website reports: “On August 27 the IDF sent hundreds of ground soldiers, drones, warplanes, and bulldozers into the cities of Tulkarm and Jenin, as well as the Al Fara refugee camp near Tubas, in the largest military operation in the West Bank since 2002.” Rampaging settlers took advantage of the invasion and drove 119 Palestinians out of their homes, erecting armed outposts and eliminating the Palestinians’ access to water.

The accelerating small-scale ethnic cleansings in the West Bank could be preludes to full-blown genocide. Ultimately the zionists hope to kill or expel all of the nearly three million Palestinians who live there, and many fear the attempt could come sooner rather than later.

The zionists have no qualms about committing such atrocities because they believe the Palestinians, like all non-Jews, are mere animals. The former chief rabbi of Israel, Ovadia Yosef, compared non-Jews to donkeys and explained that “goyim [non-Jews] were born only to serve us. Without that, they have no place in the world—only to serve the people of Israel.” Many other Zionist leaders have echoed the same sentiments, or worse. The current Defense Minister, Yoav Gallant, has called the Palestinians “human animals.”

If the zionists try to drive three million Palestinians into Jordan, that would be “a declaration of war” on Jordan, according to Jordanian Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi—just as a similar move to drive Gazans into Egypt would be a declaration of war on that country. Genocidal crimes on such a colossal scale would presumably also be unacceptable to the Jordanian and Egyptian governments’ American backers, and to the region as a whole.

Such horrific crimes could only be committed under cover of a larger regional war. And that is what the zionists have been trying to incite with their ongoing series of atrocities and assassinations.

But the zionist strategy is backfiring. The whole world, led by the Global South, is appalled and disgusted by the genocide. “Israel” is rapidly losing legitimacy. Its economy is in tatters, thanks in part to Yemen’s shutdown of Eilat, its Red Sea port.

Settlers in the north have fled Hizbullah’s rockets, which fall as retaliation for the genocide of Gaza. As many as half a million “Israelis” have evacuated from their settler colony. Seeing all this, the Axis of Resistance pursues a policy of strategic patience, based on the Sun Tzu dictum “Never interrupt your enemy while he is in the middle of making a mistake.”

Thus far the zionists’ plans to incite a huge war are failing. A desperate zionist attempt to quickly expel millions of Palestinians would likely drive the last nail into the coffin of “Israel.” Its latest escalation against Hizbullah in Lebanon is part of the same failed policy that would only hasten the demise of the illegitimate entity.
