globalresearch |The following document pertaining
to the formation of “Greater Israel” constitutes the cornerstone of
powerful Zionist factions within the current Netanyahu government, the
Likud party, as well as within the Israeli military and intelligence
establishment.
President Donald Trump had confirmed in January 2017 his support of Israel’s illegal settlements (including his opposition to UN Security Council Resolution 2334,
pertaining to the illegality of the Israeli settlements in the occupied
West Bank). The Trump administration expressed its recognition of
Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights. And now the entire West Bank
is being annexed to Israel.
Under the Biden administration, despite rhetorical shifts in the political narrative, Washington remains supportive of Israel plans to annex the entire Jordan River valley as well the illegal settlements in the West Bank.
Bear in mind: The
Greater Israel design is not strictly a Zionist Project for the Middle
East, it is an integral part of US foreign policy, its strategic
objective is to extend US hegemony as well as fracture and balkanize the
Middle East.
In
this regard, Washington’s strategy consists in destabilizing and
weakening regional economic powers in the Middle East including Turkey
and Iran. This policy –which is consistent with the Greater Israel– is
accompanied by a process of political fragmentation.
Since the Gulf war (1991), the Pentagon has contemplated the creation of a “Free Kurdistan” which would include the annexation of parts of Iraq, Syria and Iran as well as Turkey
According to the founding father of Zionism Theodore Herzl,
“the area of the Jewish State stretches: “From the Brook of Egypt to
the Euphrates.” According to Rabbi Fischmann, “The Promised Land
extends from the River of Egypt up to the Euphrates, it includes parts
of Syria and Lebanon.”
When
viewed in the current context, including the siege on Gaza, the Zionist
Plan for the Middle East bears an intimate relationship to the 2003
invasion of Iraq, the 2006 war on Lebanon, the 2011 war on Libya, the
ongoing wars on Syria, Iraq and Yemen, not to mention the political
crisis in Saudi Arabia.
The
“Greater Israel” project consists in weakening and eventually
fracturing neighboring Arab states as part of a US-Israeli expansionist
project, with the support of NATO and Saudi Arabia. In this
regard, the Saudi-Israeli rapprochement is from Netanyahu’s viewpoint a
means to expanding Israel’s spheres of influence in the Middle East as
well as confronting Iran. Needless to day, the “Greater Israel” project
is consistent with America’s imperial design.
“Greater Israel” consists in an area extending from the Nile Valley to the Euphrates. According to Stephen Lendman,
“A near-century ago, the World Zionist Organization’s plan for a Jewish state included:
• historic Palestine;
• South Lebanon up to Sidon and the Litani River;
• Syria’s Golan Heights, Hauran Plain and Deraa; and
• control of the Hijaz Railway from Deraa to Amman, Jordan as well as the Gulf of Aqaba.
Some
Zionists wanted more – land from the Nile in the West to the Euphrates
in the East, comprising Palestine, Lebanon, Western Syria and Southern
Turkey.”
The Zionist project has supported the Jewish settlement movement. More
broadly it involves a policy of excluding Palestinians from Palestine
leading to the annexation of both the West Bank and Gaza to the State of
Israel.
The
Project of “Greater Israel” is to create a number of proxy States,
which could include parts of Lebanon, Jordan, Syria, the Sinai, as well
as parts of Iraq and Saudi Arabia. (See map).
“[The
Yinon plan] is an Israeli strategic plan to ensure Israeli regional
superiority. It insists and stipulates that Israel must reconfigure its
geo-political environment through the balkanization of the surrounding
Arab states into smaller and weaker states.
Israeli
strategists viewed Iraq as their biggest strategic challenge from an
Arab state. This is why Iraq was outlined as the centerpiece to the
balkanization of the Middle East and the Arab World. In Iraq, on the
basis of the concepts of the Yinon Plan, Israeli strategists have called
for the division of Iraq into a Kurdish state and two Arab states, one
for Shiite Muslims and the other for Sunni Muslims. The first step
towards establishing this was a war between Iraq and Iran, which the
Yinon Plan discusses.
The
Atlantic, in 2008, and the U.S. military’s Armed Forces Journal, in
2006, both published widely circulated maps that closely followed the
outline of the Yinon Plan. Aside from a divided Iraq, which the Biden
Plan also calls for, the Yinon Plan calls for a divided Lebanon, Egypt,
and Syria. The partitioning of Iran, Turkey, Somalia, and Pakistan also
all fall into line with these views. The Yinon Plan also calls for
dissolution in North Africa and forecasts it as starting from Egypt and
then spilling over into Sudan, Libya, and the rest of the region.
“Greater Israel” would require the breaking up of the existing Arab states into small states.
“The plan operates on two essential premises. To survive, Israel must
1) become an imperial regional power, and
2) must effect the division of the whole area into small states by the dissolution of all existing Arab states.
Small
here will depend on the ethnic or sectarian composition of each state.
Consequently, the Zionist hope is that sectarian-based states become
Israel’s satellites and, ironically, its source of moral legitimation…
This is not a new idea, nor does it surface for the first time in
Zionist strategic thinking. Indeed, fragmenting all Arab states into
smaller units has been a recurrent theme.” (Yinon Plan, see below)
Viewed in this context, the US-NATO led wars on Syria and Iraq are part of the process of Israeli territorial expansion.
In
this regard, the defeat of US sponsored terrorists (ISIS, Al Nusra) by
Syrian Forces with the support of Russia, Iran and Hezbollah constitute a
significant setback for Israel.
“The
biggest news media companies are privately owned and operate without
direct government control, in contrast to the state-controlled media
landscape in Russia,” writes Politico’s Sergey Goryashko. “Russian state
TV and the primary news agencies there are the property of the
government, and the Kremlin controls other media or destroys those not
willing to collaborate.”
At the bottom of the article is a line which reads as follows: “Sergey Goryashko is hosted at POLITICO under the EU-funded EU4FreeMedia residency program.”
I
really couldn’t have come up with a more perfect illustration of what
I’m talking about here than the US government and its European lackeys
running a complex and elaborate project to further slant European media
against the Russian Federation, which then manifests as a Politico
article calling Putin a liar and claiming propaganda does not exist in
the west.
There’s an old joke that goes like this:
A Soviet and an American are on an airplane seated next to each other.
“Why are you flying to the US?” asks the American.
“To study American propaganda,” replies the Soviet.
“What American propaganda?” asks the American.
“Exactly,” the Soviet replies.
In
reality the nature of the US-centralized empire allows it to run a
massive, nonstop international propaganda campaign through mass media
platforms which are mostly privately owned. A diverse network of factors
feeds into this dynamic which I’ve detailed in my unusually lengthy
article “15 Reasons Why Mass Media Employees Act Like Propagandists”,
but the gist of it is that anyone who’s wealthy enough to control a
mass media platform is going to have a vested interest in preserving the
status quo upon which their wealth is premised, and they will cooperate
with establishment power structures in various ways toward that end.
The
fact that these mass media outlets look independent but function as
propaganda organs for the US empire allows its propaganda to fly into
people’s minds without triggering any gag reflex of critical thinking or
skepticism, which wouldn’t be the case if people knew those outlets
were feeding them propaganda. Propaganda only really has persuasive power if you don’t know it’s happening to you.
twitter | So why is Israel doing this? Is there anything in it for Israel but virtually global hate? Because it doesn't seems like there is.
A couple days ago I said I was going to provide an explanation why Israel has chosen to conduct itself like it has. Here it is. It's very provocative, and it's going to mess with your mind quite a bit.
I will also remind you that I am Jewish and I have the perfect right to my own opinion on Jewish affairs. - Before I go on, and as I know many people are going to read this, make sure that you follow me. What I have to say doesn't end here. Stay connected. - Throughout these months, I am sure you have asked yourselves why Israel is acting as if its design is to maximize the amount of hate it stands to receive from a global community of shocked and terrified people.
There have been so many occasions for this, but I'll bet last week, when IDF soldiers executed 3 Palestinian men in a hospital, it stood out to you as outrageously brazen.
That's because the IDF took special care to get it televised. They didn't confiscate cameras or servers, and didn't hack or destroyed files. It's almost as if they were acting for the cameras.
A world wide audiences got the message, and everyone was talking about Fauda, the TV series meant to portray the humane face of Israel's apartheid.
How peculiar, right? And wait, what about all those videos by soldiers of themselves joyfully blowing up stuff? And what about the naked men filmed in their humiliated hundreds?
Let me reminds you, for contrast, that in two years of Russia's was in Ukraine, not once have you seen Russian soldiers celebrating the destruction of civilian infrastructure. And you've never seen naked and humiliated Ukrainian soldiers loaded on trucks, or sitting on the ground, eyes covered.
There may have been things like that happening. We don't know. But if scenes like these actually occurred, the Russian military took special care to conceal them from us. The IDF did not. Why? - Keep this question in mind, and let's make it ever more interesting. Let's ask: what is the justification, the reason, or cause for the existence of organizations such as AIPAC and ADL? I mean, seriously. Are American Jews in so much danger, and face so much persecution in the US, that perpetual billion-dollar operations are required to guard them from harm? Are Jews disproportionally jailed in the US? Designated victims of violent crime? Harassed by the authorities? Cannot be out on the street? Is American society that laser-focused on hating Jews? Aren't there other American communities who are more exposed to danger, harassment, poverty and crime? I mean, seriously?
And say an organization like AIPAC does have some nostalgic reason for being, what is doing pushing for wars? More specifically and currently: why are Jewish organizations in the US, alongside Israel, doing all they possibly can to place Jews at the epicenter of a possible world war?
Why are organizations that are supposed to keep Jews safe making Jewish affairs the formal declared reason for a clash and a war the could destroy civilization as we know it? Isn't it the opposite of what they're supposed to be doing? Say like a military that constantly broadcasts its own astonishing cruelty, and destroys its own image? - We are getting closer. But one more hurdle needs to be removed for us to see the answer. Stay sharp. - Two very obvious opposites in seeing the world: paranoia and basic trust. This is true for people, but it is just as valid for political societies. Some societies are more paranoid and some are more relaxed, but no society on earth is more paranoid than the super-mega-ultra Jewish part of the Jewish people, or wider society. There is no other group on earth the world is so contently on its feet defending.
No other society, too, decided to use trauma as the center of its identity. I know many of you, especially Americans, have come to see this as just Jewish. But it is not so (and maybe you need a Mizrahi Jew to tell you this). It is one strand of Jewish perception that derives its sense of identity from pogroms and the Holocaust. Israel and IPAC act like this is natural and the only way to be Jewish. That's nonsense.
Pogroms and the Holocaust were not all the experience of all the Jews. Many Jewish communities knew long percids of safety and prosperity. Not all Jews were victims all the time, and Jews are definitely not the only victims humanity has even known. Personally I always found it more than a little offsetting to hear American Jews refer to their misery and victimhood constantly, in a country where millions of natives, organized in hundreds and thousands of flourishing communities, were wiped of the face of the planet. A country and culture that operated industrial scale slavery of black people for hundreds and hundreds of years, and fought not to recognize them as equal humans for centuries more.
I would never do that.
A country that has so much terrible, dehumanizing poverty and homelessness, so much pain. How come the most successful, heavily represented in all things power and money minority in this society is also its greatest victim?
I know this is the norm and this is the description of reality I should conform to, but no. It doesn't make sense. - You can choose trauma and paranoia or trust and basic optimism as your guide in life. But the biggest Jewish organization in our lifetime chose one clear path: that of trauma, suspicion and what can be called Armageddonism. Always alert. Always someone out there to get you. Everybody hates us.
And as we're almost at the end of it, I will say the final part a little more directly. In choosing trauma and paranoia, both Israel and AIPAC found and unexpected source of false power.
Because existential fear can bring a society of people together, but it's not going to be a society many people would want to live in.
So you keep people afraid all the time, and you make sure they are feeling, or actually being, hated all the time. This is how you maintain your power over them.
And as Jewish trauma has become such a huge international political thing (again: I wouldn't do that), the incentive was always there to keep this mentality alive. To organize around it. To make sure it remains the formal doctrine of Jewish institutions. Such as AIPAC and Israel. - So Israel and American Jewish organizations took it upon themselves to keep Jews afraid and isolated. This strategy of intentional paranoia has been working for a while, but it gradually eroded. It especially eroded in the US, as younger Jews became increasingly aware that the stories they've been told are lies, and that no one really cares about their ethnicity.
That erosion in the power of instilled exceptionalism, isolationism and existential fear poses a very serious problem for Jewish organizations built around paranoia. The Palestinians and Arabs were a wonderful solutions for this problem for a while: by keeping Palestinians oppressed and thus hostile, the old myth of antisemitism as a huge international force could be kept on life support.
But this, too, began to fade, as younger American Jews started getting more familiar with Palestinian perspectives. - And then October 7th hit. And the right wing, nationalistic, paranoid section of the Jewish political spectrum, realized it could be translated into political gold.
This could be used to revive the old sentiments. The ghetto, the pogroms, the trains to the east. All of it. This is why Nazis were invoked so early on. Jews were once again the persecuted minority AIPAC and Netanyahu always told you they were. How wonderful for them.
But October 7th was not enough, because people would immediately put it in the context of the occupation. They would ask the eternal human question: why did this happen? What happened before?
If you're Netanyahu or AIPAC, putting Jews in the context of normal human behavior is the last thing you want. What you want is boiling rage and fear to be extensively covered in all the media and all the briefings.
Need I say I would not do that, either? - And this is where my final point arrives. It doesn't seem like Israel is trying to be hated globally. It is actually what it's doing. It is intentionally airing its cruelty and barbarity so that it will remain closed up to the world, thus guaranteeing the continued rule of the paranoia camp.
They are doing it on purpose, for cynical political gains, out of a twisted reading of history and of human nature. Palestinians are just crash test dummies in this scenario. They count for nothing. Their deaths are used to get people angry and Israel hated, so it becomes even more paranoid. - For the same reason, AIPAC is putting the Jewish issue at the epicenter of the lead up to WW3. They cannot not know that Jews will be called as responsible, or at least a major factor in it.
Can you imagine millions of dead Americans, destroyed cities, populations stressed into panic and despair - all because of a war Jewish organizations pushed for? How does anyone who purports to represent Jews and care for them not recoil from this scenario? Do these people have any idea at all of what they're doing?
And I am sorry for sounding this impolite an not nice: we are on the eve of a potential world war. As a Jew I am terrified.
The last thing I want is to be blames for a world war. But the Jewish paranoia camp seems to relish the opportunity. Maybe they are sure this is how the messiah comes. I have my reservations. - Finally, Jewish organization centered around trauma found a very welcoming and happy to help friend in American imperialists. It is so wonderful when you can market middle east invasions as battling antisemitism. Who could argue with you? In the name of defending Israel, the US can do whatever it wants. It has the perfect moral cover. It will support an actual genocide. It will go completely insane.
What they - both AIPAC and US establishments - are not including in their calculations is that a big war in the middle east can have very devastating results for both the US and Israel. In their quest for creating a Jewish psyche and a world beneficial to their paranoid vision (which America shares as a colonial power), that don't take into account that reality is a whole different business from propaganda. - But this is why they do it, and televise and broadcast it. So that we are hated, isolated, fearful and controlled by Bibi and AIPAC forever. There's nothing that reassures those people as hate for Israel. - Don't fight people who thrive on hate with hate. Fight them with clarity and resolve.

With the war claiming many U.S. aircraft, the military wanted to
increase the armor protection of their bombers to increase their
survivability, but they were unsure of the best places to put this armor
and were frankly unqualified to find out themselves.
Where do you go with such a specific issue? The Statistical Research Group, of course!
The group was given the task of analyzing the damage received by
Allied aircraft from enemy fire, and recommending the best way to
increase their chances of survival. It was here that Wald made massive
bounds in “survivorship bias.”
When bombers returned from missions, they’d often come home covered
with bullet holes. However, these bullet holes were not evenly
distributed around the aircraft, but were actually concentrated on the
wings and fuselage, almost twice as much as places like the engines.
Why were bullets concentrating on the fuselage and wings? Were German
pilots trained to aim there? Were they firing futuristic homing
bullets? Military officers came to the seemingly obvious conclusion that
the armor should be added in these areas, as after all, they were
taking the most fire, right?
Not quite. Wald quickly realized what was happening, and the solution was simple.
Bullets holes weren’t found on areas like the engines because aircraft that had been shot here didn’t come home! Wald believed
bullets were actually hitting the aircraft equally all over, but
because the ones hit in the most vulnerable areas didn’t come home, the
data incorrectly suggested that these areas weren’t being hit at all.
The only aircraft that could be examined were those that came home —
the survivors. The aircraft that were being brought down weren’t
available for inspection, thus creating the survivorship bias.
The massive amount of damage on bombers’ fuselages and wings was
actually evidence that these areas did not need reinforcing, as they
were clearly able to take a large amount of punishment. Therefore, as
Wald concluded, the armor should be placed on the areas that seemingly
received the least damage.
