Israel Baits the Hook. Will Syria Bite?
http://landdestroyer.blogspot.ro/2018/05/israel-baits-hook-will-syria-bite.html
Headlines like the UK's Independent's, "Israel and Iran on brink of war after unprecedented Syria bombardment in response to alleged Golan Heights attack," attempt to portray the Israeli aggression as self-defense. The Independent, however, failed to produce any evidence confirming Israeli claims.
At face value, for Iran to inexplicably launch missiles at Israel, unprovoked and achieving no conceivable tactical, strategic, or political gain strains the credibility of Israel's narrative even further.
But it is perhaps published US policy designating Israel as a hostile provocateur tasked with expanding Washington's proxy war against Damascus that fully reveals the deadly and deceptive game Israel and the Western media are now playing.
For years, US policymakers admitted in their papers that the US desired regime change in Iran and sought to provoke a war to achieve it.
Israel Baits the Hook
The corporate-funded Brookings Institution - whose sponsors include weapon manufacturers, oil corporations, banks, and defense contractors - published a 2009 paper titled, "Which Path to Persia? Options for a New American Strategy Toward Iran," and would not only spell out the US desire for regime change in Iran but devise a number of options to achieve it.
These included sponsoring street protests in tandem with known terrorist organizations to wage a proxy war against Iran as was done to Libya and Syria. It also included provoking Iran to war - a war Brookings policymakers repeatedly admitted Iran seeks to avoid.
In regards to provoking a war with Iran based on a number of contrived cases, the paper would admit (emphasis added):
Indeed, sections of Syria are now under the control of occupying foreign armies. Turkey controls sections in northern Syria and the United States is occupying territory east of the Euphrates River. While Syria's territorial integrity is essential - Syria will be better positioned to retake this territory years from now, than it is at the moment. Maintaining the status quo and preventing the conflict from escalating is the primary concern.
Over the next several years - within this status quo - the global balance of power will only shift further away from America's favor. As that happens, Syria will have a much better opportunity to reclaim its occupied territory.
While it is only human for people to become infuriated by unprovoked attacks - these attacks by the US and Israel are designed specifically to provoke a response. Long-term patience is just as important to winning a war as immediate fury.

In regards to provoking a war with Iran based on a number of contrived cases, the paper would admit (emphasis added):
The truth is that these all would be challenging cases to make. For that reason, it would be far more preferable if the United States could cite an Iranian provocation as justification for the airstrikes before launching them. Clearly, the more outrageous, the more deadly, and the more unprovoked the Iranian action, the better off the United States would be. Of course, it would be very difficult for the United States to goad Iran into such a provocation without the rest of the world recognizing this game, which would then undermine it. (One method that would have some possibility of success would be to ratchet up covert regime change efforts in the hope that Tehran would retaliate overtly, or even semi-overtly, which could then be portrayed as an unprovoked act of Iranian aggression.)
The Brookings paper even admits that Iran may not retaliate even to the most overt provocations, including US or Israeli air raids and missiles attacks. The papers notes:
...because many Iranian leaders would likely be looking to emerge from the fighting in as advantageous a strategic position as possible, and because they would likely calculate that playing the victim would be their best route to that goal, they might well refrain from such retaliatory missiles attacks.
Brookings also admits that even massive airstrikes on Iran would not achieve US objectives, including regime change and that airstrikes would have to be part of a wider strategy including either a proxy war or a full-scale war led by the US.
More recent Brookings papers, like the 2012 "Assessing Options for Regime Change, Brookings Institution," would admit that Israel's role - particularly from its occupation of the Golan Heights - is to provide constant pressure on Syria to aid in regime change there.

The paper notes (emphasis added):
Israel’s intelligence services have a strong knowledge of Syria, as well as assets within the Syrian regime that could be used to subvert the regime’s power base and press for Asad’s removal. Israel could posture forces on or near the Golan Heights and, in so doing, might divert regime forces from suppressing the opposition. This posture may conjure fears in the Asad regime of a multi-front war, particularly if Turkey is willing to do the same on its border and if the Syrian opposition is being fed a steady diet of arms and training. Such a mobilization could perhaps persuade Syria’s military leadership to oust Asad in order to preserve itself. Advocates argue this additional pressure could tip the balance against Asad inside Syria, if other forces were aligned properly.
We can assume that the 2012 objective of taking pressure off "the opposition" has failed - since US-NATO-Gulf sponsored terrorists have been all but defeated everywhere inside Syria, save for border regions and territory occupied by US forces to the east.
Instead, Israel's role now has switched - both from pressuring Syria, and from attempting to provoke Iran with attacks on Iranian territory - to provoking a wider war with Syria and its allies - including Iran - by launching provocations against Syria as described in the 2009 Brookings paper, "Which Path to Persia?"
Despite Israel's serial provocations going unanswered for years by Syria, each attack is depicted by the Western media as defensive in nature. At the beginning of May when Syrian forces finally did retaliate, the Western media attempted to depict it as an unprovoked attack, citing Israeli military officials who claimed "Iranian missiles" were fired at the Golan Heights - rather than on-the-ground sources - both Israeli and Syrian who said otherwise.
Syria Isn't Biting
Retaliation by Syria, however, has been proportional and reluctant.
A cynical reality remains as to why. Israel's war on Lebanon in 2006, conducted with extensive airpower - failed to achieve any of Israel's objectives. An abortive ground invasion into southern Lebanon resulted in a humiliating defeat for Israeli forces. While extensive damage was delivered to Lebanon's infrastructure, the nation and in particular, Hezbollah, has rebounded stronger than ever.

Likewise in Syria, Israeli airstrikes and missile attacks will do nothing on their own to defeat Syria or change the West's failing fortunes toward achieving regime change. They serve only as a means of provoking a retaliation sufficient enough for the West to cite as casus belli for a much wider operation that might effect regime change.
Attempts to place wedges among the Syrian-Russian-Iranian alliance have been ongoing. Claims that Russia's refusal to retaliate after US-Israeli attacks or its refusal to provide Syria with more modern air defenses attempt to depict Russia as weak and disinterested in Syria's well-being.
The fact remains that a Russian retaliation would open the door to a possibly catastrophic conflict Russia may not be able to win. The delivery of more modern air defense systems to Syria will not change the fact that US-Israeli attacks will fail to achieve any tangible objectives with or without such defenses. Their delivery will - however - help further increase tensions in the region, not manage or eliminate them.
Because Syria Already Won
Syria and its allies have eliminated the extensive proxy forces the US and its allies armed and funded to overthrow the Syrian government beginning in 2011. The remnants of this proxy force cling to Syria's borders and in regions the US and its allies are tentatively occupying.
Should the conflict's status quo be maintained and Russia's presence maintained in the region, these proxy forces will be unable to regroup or regain the territory they have lost. In essence, Syria has won the conflict.

Sun Tzu stated in the timeless strategic treatise, "The Art of War," that:
A government should not mobilize an army out of anger, military leaders should not provoke war out of wrath. Act when it is beneficial, desist if it is not. Anger can revert to joy, wrath can revert to delight, but a nation destroyed cannot be restored to existence, and the dead cannot be restored to life.
The US and its allies seek to provoke Syria and its allies into a war now while the US believes it still holds military primacy. Avoiding this until a time when US military primacy no longer exists is the true key to finally and completely winning the Syrian war.
The most perfect of all "retaliations" will be winning the Syrian war - confounding and defeating the US, NATO, the Persian Gulf states, and Israel finally and completely - not launching symbolic missile attacks the US eagerly seeks to use to provoke a wider war they may be able to win while the current global balance of power still favors them.

Israelul dă naștere cârligului. Va musca Siria?
[size=30]Israelul dă naștere cârligului. Va musca Siria?[/size]
12 mai 2018 ( Tony Cartalucci - NEO ) - Israelul a lovit în mod repetat Siria cu rachete și cu rachete - cea mai recentă schimbare care a avut loc după ce Israelul susține că "rachetele iraniene" au lovit pozițiile pe care militarii israelieni le ocupă ilegal în Golan Heights din Siria.
Titluri precum "Independentul britanic", " Israel și Iran pe marginea războiului după bombardament fără precedent al Siriei ca răspuns la presupusul atac al Golan Heights ", încearcă să descrie agresiunea israeliană ca autoapărare. Independentul, însă, nu a prezentat niciun element care să confirme pretențiile israeliene.
La valoarea nominală, pentru ca Iranul să lanseze rachete în mod inexplicabil la Israel, neprovocat și fără a obține nici un câștig tactic, strategic sau politic, imaginabil, încordă credibilitatea narațiunii Israelului.
Dar este probabil publicată politica SUA care desemnează Israelul ca un provocator ostil însărcinat cu extinderea războiului proxy al Washingtonului împotriva Damascului, care dezvăluie pe deplin jocul moral și înșelător pe care Israelul și mass-media occidentală îl joacă acum.
De ani de zile, responsabilii politici americani au recunoscut în ziarele lor că SUA a dorit schimbarea regimului în Iran și a încercat să provoace un război pentru ao realiza.
Israelul dă naștere cârligului
Instituția Brookings, sponsorizată de corporații, a cărei sponsori include producătorii de arme, companiile petroliere, băncile și contractorii din domeniul apărării, a publicat o lucrare din 2009 intitulată " Ce cale către Persia? Opțiuni pentru o nouă strategie americană către Iran " și nu numai că ar spune dorința SUA de a schimba regimul în Iran, dar să elaboreze o serie de opțiuni pentru ao realiza.
Acestea includ sponsorizarea protestelor de stradă în tandem cu organizațiile teroriste cunoscute pentru a purta un război proxy împotriva Iranului, așa cum sa făcut în Libia și Siria. A inclus, de asemenea, provocarea Iranului la război - un politician de război din Brookings, care a recunoscut în mod repetat că Iranul încearcă să evite.
În ceea ce privește provocarea unui război cu Iranul bazat pe o serie de cazuri controversate, lucrarea ar admite (sublinierea adăugată):
Adevărul este că toate acestea ar fi provocatoare cazuri de făcut. Din acest motiv, ar fi mult mai preferabil dacă Statele Unite ar putea cita o provocare iraniană ca o justificare a atacurilor în aer înainte de a le lansa. În mod clar, cu atât mai scandalos, cu atât mai mortal și cu cât ar fi mai neprovocat acțiunea iraniană, cu atât mai bine ar fi Statele Unite.Bineînțeles, ar fi foarte dificil pentru Statele Unite să facă Iranul într-o astfel de provocare, fără ca restul lumii să recunoască acest joc, ceea ce ar submina-o. (O metodă care ar avea o posibilitate de succes ar fi să-și schimbe eforturile de schimbare a regimului sub acoperire, sperând că Teheranul ar revolta deschis sau chiar semi-deschis, care ar putea fi prezentat ca un act neprovocat de agresiune iraniană.)
Documentul Brookings recunoaște chiar că Iranul nu poate să se răzbune nici măcar la provocările cele mai evidente, inclusiv rachetele aeriene și rachetele americane sau israeliene. Lucrările notează:
... pentru că mulți lideri iranieni ar încerca probabil să iasă din luptă într-o poziție cât mai avantajoasă și mai strategică, și pentru că ar fi probabil să calculeze că jucarea victimei ar fi cea mai bună cale spre acest scop, ei ar putea să se abțină de la astfel de războaie rachete de război.
Brookings recunoaște, de asemenea, că atacurile chiar și masive asupra Iranului nu ar atinge obiectivele SUA, inclusiv schimbarea regimului și că atacurile aeriane ar trebui să facă parte dintr-o strategie mai largă, care să includă fie un război procurat, fie un război pe scară largă condus de SUA.
Mai recente lucrări Brooking , cum ar fi " Evaluarea opțiunilor pentru schimbarea regimului, instituția din Brookings " , vor recunoaște că rolul Israelului - în special din ocupația Golanului Heights - este acela de a furniza Siriei o presiune constantă pentru a ajuta la schimbarea regimului acolo.
Notele de hârtie (accentuat):
Serviciile de informații ale Israelului au o cunoaștere puternică a Siriei, precum și activele din cadrul regimului sirian care ar putea fi folosite pentru a submina baza de putere a regimului și pentru a-și îndepărta Asad . Israelul putea să-și poată stăpâni forțele la sau în apropierea Helenilor Golan și, făcând astfel, ar putea să-i îndepărteze pe forțele regimului de suprimarea opoziției. Această poziție poate provoca temeri în regimul Asad al unui război multi-frontal, mai ales dacă Turcia este dispusă să facă același lucru la granița sa și dacă opoziția siriană este hrănită cu o dietă constantă de arme și de formare. O astfel de mobilizare ar putea să convingă conducerea militară a Siriei de a elimina Asad pentru a se păstra. Avocații susțin că această presiune suplimentară ar putea duce la echilibrul împotriva lui Asad în Siria, dacă alte forțe ar fi aliniate corect.
Putem presupune că obiectivul din 2012 de a exercita presiuni asupra opoziției a eșuat - din moment ce teroriștii sponsorizați de SUA-Golful Golfului au fost învingători peste tot în Siria, cu excepția regiunilor de frontieră și a teritoriului ocupat de forțele americane la est.
În schimb, rolul Israelului a schimbat - atât prin presiunea asupra Siriei, cât și prin încercarea de a provoca Iranul cu atacuri asupra teritoriului iranian - pentru a provoca un război mai mare cu Siria și aliații săi - inclusiv Iranul - lansând provocări împotriva Siriei, hârtie, "Care cale spre Persia?"
În ciuda provocărilor serioase ale Israelului, care nu au fost respinse de ani de zile de Siria, fiecare atac este descris de mass-media occidentală drept defensiv în natură. La începutul lunii mai, când forțele siriene au răzbunat în cele din urmă, mass-media occidentală a încercat să o descrie ca pe un atac neprovocat, invocând oficialități militare israeliene care au susținut că "rachetele iraniene" au fost trase la Golan Heights - mai degrabă decât surse de la sol - atât israelieni cât și sirieni care au spus altfel.
Siria nu este musca
Retribuția de către Siria a fost totuși proporțională și reticentă.
O realitate cinică rămâne de ce. Războiul Israelului asupra Libanului în 2006, desfășurat cu o forță aeriană extinsă, nu a reușit să atingă nici unul dintre obiectivele Israelului. O invazie abortivă la sol în sudul Libanului a dus la o înfrângere umilitoare pentru forțele israeliene. În timp ce infrastructura Libanului a fost distrusă, națiunea și, în special, Hezbollah, au revenit mai puternic decât oricând.
La fel, în Siria, atacurile israeliene și atacurile cu rachete nu vor face nimic pe cont propriu pentru a învinge Siria sau pentru a schimba averile defectuoase ale Occidentului pentru a realiza schimbarea regimului. Acestea servesc doar ca un mijloc de provocare a unei represalii suficient de suficiente pentru ca Occidentul să citească ca casus belli pentru o operațiune mult mai amplă care ar putea afecta schimbarea regimului.
Încercările de a plasa pene în cadrul alianței siriano-ruso-iraniene au fost în curs de desfășurare. Susține că refuzul Rusiei de a se răzbuna după atacurile americano-israeliene sau refuzul său de a oferi Siriei o apărare modernă a aerului încearcă să descrie Rusia ca fiind slabă și dezinteresată în bunăstarea Siriei.
Faptul că o retorsiune rusească ar deschide ușa unui conflict posibil, catastrofal, poate că Rusia nu ar putea să câștige. Livrarea sistemelor de apărare aeriană mai moderne către Siria nu va schimba faptul că atacurile americano-israeliene nu vor reuși să atingă obiective tangibile cu sau fără astfel de atacuri. Cu toate acestea, livrarea lor va contribui la creșterea tensiunilor din regiune, nu le va gestiona sau le va elimina.
Deoarece Siria a fost deja câștigată
Siria și aliații săi au eliminat forțele proxy extinse pe care Statele Unite și aliații săi le-au înarmat și finanțat pentru a răsturna guvernul sirian începând cu 2011. Resturile acestei forțe proxy se agață de granițele Siriei și în regiunile în care SUA și aliații ei ocupă cu tentativă.
Dacă situația actuală a conflictului va fi menținută și prezența Rusiei va fi menținută în regiune, aceste forțe proxy nu vor putea să regrupeze sau să-și recapete teritoriul pe care l-au pierdut. În esență, Siria a câștigat conflictul.
Într-adevăr, secțiunile din Siria sunt acum sub controlul ocupării armatelor străine. Turcia controlează secțiunile din nordul Siriei, iar Statele Unite ocupă teritoriul est de râul Eufrat. În timp ce integritatea teritorială a Siriei este esențială - Siria va fi mai bine poziționată pentru a relua acest teritoriu de acum, de acum, decât este în prezent. Menținerea status quo-ului și prevenirea escaladării conflictului este preocuparea principală.
În următorii câțiva ani - în cadrul acestui status quo - echilibrul global al puterii se va îndepărta mai departe de favoarea Americii. În acest caz, Siria va avea o șansă mult mai bună de a-și recupera teritoriul ocupat.
Deși nu este decât omul ca oamenii să devină înfuriați de atacuri neprovocate - aceste atacuri ale Statelor Unite și ale Israelului sunt concepute special pentru a provoca un răspuns. Răbdarea pe termen lung este la fel de importantă pentru a câștiga un război ca o furie imediată.
Sun Tzu a afirmat în tratatul strategic, "Arta războiului":
Un guvern nu ar trebui să mobilizeze o armată din mânie, liderii militari nu ar trebui să provoace război din mânie. Acționați când este benefic, renunțați dacă nu este. Mânia se poate întoarce la bucurie, mânia poate reveni la încântare, dar o națiune distrusă nu poate fi refăcută la existență și morții nu pot fi readuși la viață.
Statele Unite și aliații săi încearcă să provoace Siria și aliații săi într-un război, în timp ce SUA consideră că ea încă deține supremația militară. Evitând acest lucru până când nu va mai exista primatul militar american, este cheia adevărată pentru a câștiga în cele din urmă războiul sirian.
Cel mai perfect dintre toate "răzbunările" va fi câștigarea războiului sirian - confundând și înfruntând SUA, NATO, statele din Golful Persic și Israel în cele din urmă și complet - fără a lansa atacuri rachete simbolice pe care SUA încearcă cu curaj să le utilizeze pentru a provoca un război mai larg ei ar putea fi capabili să câștige în timp ce actualul echilibru global al puterii îi favorizează în continuare.

Syria Imposes New Rules of Engagement on Israel
by Sayed Hasan translated for the Saker Blog
On Thursday 10 th May 2018, an unprecedented exchange of strikes happened between Israel and Syria. The mainstream media , as well as some “alternative” media like Russia Today , were quick to relay the Israeli army version, according to which the Zionist entity “retaliated” to an “Iranian attack by Revolutionary Guards' Al-Quds Force” consisting of “twenty rockets” fired at Israeli positions in the occupied Golan, four of which were “intercepted by the Iron Dome” and the others “crashed into Syrian territory”, no damage being recorded in Israel. Israel has reportedly responded to this unprecedented “act of aggression” by a “large-scale operation” that would have destroyed “the entire Iranian infrastructure in Syria”, in order to deter the Islamic Republic from any stray impulse of future strikes.
This narrative takes for granted the postulates, data and myths of the Zionist entity's propaganda – which imposes permanent military censorship on the Israeli media, exposing any offender to a prison sentence; and reading the international media, one might get the idea that, like American economic sanctions, this censorship is extraterritorial – but none of them can withstand scrutiny.
The aggressor is undoubtedly Israel, who carried out more than a hundred strikes against Syria since the beginning of the conflict. After Duma's chemical stage attacks, this aggresion intensified with attacks on the Syrian T-4 base on April 9, which killed 7 Iranian Revolutionary Guard. Following the US announcement of withdrawal from the Iran nuclear deal, new Israeli strikes targeted Syrian positions on Tuesday (May 8th) in the southern suburbs of Damascus, and Wednesday (May 9th) in Quneitra, in the south of the country. Undeniably, Syria has only responded to yet another aggression, with a firmness that has shaken Israel and forced it out of the muteness to which it usually confines itself.
The Syrian – and not Iranian – response consisted of more than fifty – and not twenty – rockets against four sensitive Israeli military bases in the occupied Golan, which caused material damage and even casualties according to Al-Manar , Hezbollah's media. These were not reported by the Israeli press because of the draconian military censorship forbidding mentioning Israel's initial aggression, more than twenty rockets fired on Israel, the identification of their targets and any hint to the damage inflicted, in order to reassure the population inside and allow the vassal Western capitals to shout their sickening refrain of the sacrosanct-right-of-Israel-to-defend-itself. The Lebanese channel Al-Mayadeen specifically identified the military posts struck: 1/ a military technical and electronic reconnaissance center;2/ border security and intelligence station 9900; 3/ a military center for electronic jamming; 3/ a military spy center for wireless and wired networks; 4/ a transmission station; 5/ an observatory of precision weapons unit ; 6/ a combat heliport; 7/ the headquarters of the Regional Military Command of Brigade 810; 8/ the command center of the military battalion at Hermon; 9/ winter headquarters of a special alpine unit. And as this channel has reported, even Israeli journalists and analysts have expressed doubts about this unconvincing version according to which these massive strikes, unprecedented since 1974 and therefore unexpected, would have proved harmless. Moreover, [url=https://translate.googleusercontent.com/translate_c?anno=2&depth=1&rurl=translate.google.com&sl=en&sp=nmt4&tl=ro&u=https://books.google.fr/books%3Fid%3Dqo84DwAAQBAJ%26pg%3DPA223%26lpg%3DPA223%26dq%3Dfinkelstein%2Bpostol%2Biron%2Bdome%26source%3Dbl%26ots%3Dn41DxCp17H%26sig%3DZAEoq7lfYuCLEloUQaVfuY0AH1o%26hl%3Dfr%26sa%3DX%26ved%3D0ahUKEwjh5vnir_3aAhVPK1AKHZk0CjgQ6AEIYjAJ&xid=17259,15700022,15700124,15700149,15700168,15700173,15700186,15700189,15700201&usg=ALkJrhg-gOZlKfO7JvcryV8nvoRLCzI8iA#v=onepage&q=finkelstein postol iron dom]as Norman Finkelstein pointed out[/url] , nothing has changed for Israel's wars in Gaza from 2008 to 2014 despite the deployment of the “Iron Dome”, only 5% of the – largely primitive – Hamas rockets being intercepted during “Protective Edge”; and one of the best missile defense specialists, Theodore Postol of MIT, has already revealed the chronic deficiencies of this system. It is unlikely that it was able to cope better with the much more sophisticated Russian, Chinese and Iranian rocket launchers that Syria has.
The success of the Israeli strikes, which, according to Israeli War Minister Avigdor Lieberman , almost destroyed “all of Iran's infrastructure in Syria”, is largely exaggerated: Russian military officials, whose radars have followed this fight in real time, announced that more than half of the 60 missiles fired by 28 Israeli F-15s and F-16s – as well as 10 ground-to-ground missiles – were intercepted. The Syrian army records 3 dead and 2 wounded, a radar station and ammunition depot destroyed and material damage to Syrian anti-aircraft defense units. The latter have already demonstrated their effectiveness against strikes from Tel Aviv, Washington, London and Paris, unlike the mythical “Iron Dome” whose main role is to reassure the Israeli population.
The very presence of Iranian military bases and / or large Iranian contingents in Syria is a fable: Iran has only a modest presence (essentially composed of military advisers, indeed from the body of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards), unlike Hezbollah or Russia. Robert Fisk points ou t that “an Israeli statement that the Iranians had missiles in Syria was surely made in concert with the Trump administration”, that the Iranian forces in Syria are “far fewer than the West imagines” and that all Israeli statements should be reported with the utmost circumspection. Any objective reporting on these events should resemble that of Robert Fisk: “The latest overnight Israeli air strikes, supposedly at Iranian forces in Syria after a supposed Iranian rocket attack on Israeli forces in Golan – and it's important to use the “ supposed ” and not take all this at face value – must have been known to the Americans in advance.” Indeed, these so-called unexpected attacks had been announced for days by the Israeli army, which had already conducted a so-called “ preemptive strike ” – rather a provocation – on May 8.
The “red line” that this alleged Iranian presence would pose to Israel is belied by the fact that Tel Aviv has, since the beginning of the conflict, been steadily slowing the progress of the Syrian Arab Army and, using various pretexts (delivery of arms to Hezbollah, response to actual or suspected gunfire from the Golan Heights, etc.), assisting armed terrorist groups in any way possible: weapons, intelligence, airstrikes coordinated with ground offensives, medical care, etc. Israel, the only country in the world that officially does not fear anything (and indeed has nothing to fear) from ISIS, Al-Qaeda and the like, has seen the situation in Syria turn from a dream – see a myriad of terrorist groups tear down the only anti-Israeli Arab regime, back of the Resistance Axis, and bleed Hezbollah – into a nightmare – to face Hezbollah, Syrian and Iran forces more battle-hardened and powerful than ever, and allied with the Palestinian Resistance, Iraq and Yemen, as well as Russia –, is only continuing its destabilizing work under new pretexts, and more directly: Hassan Nasrallah, the Secretary General of Hezbollah, had announced that after the defeat of proxies in Syria, their sponsors could either give up or intervene more and more openly.
Iran, whose opposition to the racist and colonialist project of Israel has been a principle and even a dogma since the triumph of the Islamic Revolution in 1979, is not easily provoked into an ill-thought reaction, and has always preferred to act with patience for long-term objectives – let us remember its restraint after the massacre of Iranian diplomats in Afghanistan in 1998. The goal of Iran is not to carry out a simple reprisal operation to avenge his officers and soldiers deliberately (or accidentally, as was the case in Quneitra in January 2015) killed by Israel, but to work for the complete liberation of Palestine by putting an end to the illegitimate “Zionist regime”, just like the Apartheid regime in South Africa, which, by the way, collapsed after its military defeat in Angola and Namibia against Cuban mulattoes, then viewed with as much racism as Israeli Jewish supremacism considers Arabushim . As Hassan Nasrallah pointed out , Israel's direct aggression against Iranian forces in Syria is a major turning point in the history of the Israeli-Arab – or rather, Israeli-Arab-Persian – conflict, and Israel must now get ready to confront the Iranian forces directly – whether in Syria, occupied Palestine or even elsewhere. Moreover, when the Iranian missiles enter the scene, they are launched from the territory of the Islamic Republic and with undeniable success, as shown by the strikes against ISIS at Deir-Ez-Zor on June 18, 2017, in retaliation for terrorist attacks in Tehran.
As we can see, the reality cannot be more different from the fable that has been propagated by the majority of the media. “Journalists” who tamely take over Israel's talking points turn into IDF propaganda outlets and mere agents of Netanyahu's “diplomacy of lies”. Israel is indeed constantly lying to the world – and, increasingly, to its own people.And when its reckless actions have disastrous repercussions, it publishes hasty and contradictory communiqués in which it presents itself both as a victim and as a hawkish punisher, while also claiming, through Lieberman and via Russia, to have no intention of stepping into an escalation and hoping things will stop there – proclaiming the success of its retaliatory strikes is also a way to say it does not want/need to go any further. The international media contented itself with repeating these statements immediately after the first attacks, without any critical distance. Rational actors like Iran, Syria and Hezbollah – or Russia – are not in such a hurry to speak out and confirm or deny other's claims, leaving their opponents getting entangled in their lies, and trusting in the primacy of the battlefield that becomes more favorable to them day by day. Moreover, the fact that a bitter setback for Israel, which literally reverses the strategic situation, is transformed into a military success by Zionist and Atlantist propaganda, and combined with Israeli protests of non-belligerency, can only confirm the Resistance Axis in its choices.
Yoav Kish, a member of the Knesset quoted by Al-Manar , stressed that regardless of the author of the strikes and their results – that censorship forbade from mentioning –, it was a major shift in the history of the wars of Israel, which is being attacked from Syria. Indeed, the Golan military installations are now directly targeted as a result of Israeli aggressions, and not just the Israeli air force, which has already seen its finest – the F-16 – be shot down on February 10, 2018. The journalists and Israeli analysts also pointed out the psychological and economic repercussions of this incident, with more than 20,000 Golan settlers having had to hastily find their way back to the shelters in the middle of the night (how much will they be at the next escalation?), and the beginning of the summer period having been ushered in by a wave of hotel reservation deletions due to fears of a war between Israel and Iran.The Zionist entity, which unabashedly inflicts the greatest loss and damage to the Palestinians and its neighbors, is severely shaken by the slightest losses, unbearable for Israeli society.
The accusation against Iran is explained by essential factors (the inherent racism of Israeli society and its Prime Minister, who more willingly believe in a dangerousness of Persian Iran than in that of Arab Syria) and circumstantial – a refusal to assume the consequences of the suicidal policy of the Netanyahu government , which led him to a direct confrontation with the entire Resistance Axis, not to say with Russia. And most importantly, Israel wants to capitalize on Trump's withdrawal from the Iranian nuclear deal to advance its main obsession, much older than the Syrian crisis, namely Tehran's ballistic program, which it wants the West to end with, exploiting the perennial nuclear pretext – let us remind that the manufacture, possession and use of nuclear weapons are unlawful in Islam according to Imam Khomeini and Ali Khamenei, supreme authorities in Iran. Netanyahu has made it clear that a war with Iran is inevitable, and that it would be better to happen now than later . Since 2005, he vainly strives for the United States to launch it for him, but no negotiation, sanction or aggression will ever deter Iran from its course. And just as the Israeli strikes on April 9, which were supposed to encourage Washington, London and Paris to conduct severe strikes on Syria, ended in a bitter failure, Israel only worsened its own situation yet again and finds itself alone in the face of the disastrous consequences of its actions, to the extent of the blind arrogance that triggered them.
What about Russia? Netanyahu's presence in Moscow for the commemoration of the 73rd anniversary of the USSR's victory against Nazism, and reports that Russia would not deliver the S-300s to Syria , must not mislead us. Russia has invested far too much in Syria to allow anyone – be it Washington, Tel Aviv, Riyadh or Ankara – to reduce its efforts to nothing. Moscow said it would no longer tolerate Western strikes against Syria in case of a new chemical weapons masquerade, and that it is ready to provide Damascus not necessarily with the S-300 anti-aircraft system, but, according to Sergei Lavrov , with “whatever is required to help the Syrian army to deter aggression.” The current Syrian defense systems have already proven their worth – Including the Pantsir, which is much more suited to the needs of the Syrian army –, and allow to envision the day when Israel loses its only advantage, namely the air supremacy – that already was to no avail in 2006 against Hezbollah or 2014 against Gaza –, without which its supposedly “invincible” ragtag army would literally crumble. Israel's use of ground-to-ground missiles for the first time, and the concentration of attacks on Syrian anti-aircraft defenses – IDF released the video of the destruction of a Pantsir S-1 system, probably inactive – proves that it is well aware of its limitations.
It is obvious that Israeli aggressions against Syria will be increasingly costly, both for the Israeli air force and for its internal military bases and population, because of the determination of Syria and its allies (Hezbollah and Iran) to respond to any aggression, of their experience and new capabilities, and of their successes on the ground. The Resistance Axis – of which Russia is not a part – is now able to face Israel directly on its own, with a united front and without fear of escalation. As for Israel, already overwhelmed by the peaceful demonstrations in Gaza that must culminate on May 15, it is not ready for war against a single member of the Resistance Axis, let alone against several of them simultaneously. The new equation imposed by the Syrian army on May 10 is more fearsome for Israel than the prospect of the loss of another F-16, as Damascus has shown its determination to wage war on enemy territory, and to strike the Zionist entity in its depth.
The Resistance Axis will soon have its eyes fixed on the occupied Golan, that Syria has never given up liberating by armed struggle – a right conferred by international law itself, this territory being recognized as Syrian by all the international community: any Syrian operation there is a legal and legitimate act of resistance against Israel's 1967 aggression in and subsequent occupation, even without further provocation. As early as May 2013, Hassan Nasrallah announced Hezbollah's participation in the opening of a new frontline in Golan. In March 2017, the [url=https://www.ynetn source : http//sayed7asan.blogspot.fr/2018/05/la-syrie-impose-de-nouvelles-regles-de.html On Thursday 10th May 2018, an unprecedented exchange of strikes happened between Israel and Syria. The mainstream media, as well as some %E2%80%9Calternative%E2%80%9D media like Russia Today, were quick to relay the Israeli army version, according to which the Zionist entity %E2%80%9Cretaliated%E2%80%9D to an %E2%80%9CIranian attack by Revolutionary Guards%E2%80%99 Al-Quds Force%E2%80%9D consisting of %E2%80%9Ctwenty rockets%E2%80%9D fired at Israeli positions in the occupied Golan, four of which were %E2%80%9Cintercepted by the Iron Dome%E2%80%9D and the others %E2%80%9Ccrashed into Syrian territory%E2%80%9D, no damage being recorded in Israel. Israel has reportedly responded to this unprecedented %E2%80%9Cact of aggression%E2%80%9D by a %E2%80%9Clarge-scale operation%E2%80%9D that would have destroyed %E2%80%9Cthe entire Iranian infrastructure in Syria%E2%80%9D, in order to deter the Islamic Republic from any stray impulse of future strikes. This narrative takes for granted the postulates, data and myths of the Zionist entity's propaganda %E2%80%93 which imposes permanent military censorship on the Israeli media, exposing any offender to a prison sentence; and reading the international media, one might get the idea that, like American economic sanctions, this censorship is extraterritorial %E2%80%93 but none of them can withstand scrutiny. The aggressor is undoubtedly Israel, who carried out more than a hundred strikes against Syria since the beginning of the conflict. After Duma's chemical stage attacks, this aggresion intensified with attacks on the Syrian T-4 base on April 9, which killed 7 Iranian Revolutionary Guard. Following the US announcement of withdrawal from the Iran nuclear deal, new Israeli strikes targeted Syrian positions on Tuesday (May 8th) in the southern suburbs of Damascus, and Wednesday (May 9th) in Quneitra, in the south of the country. Undeniably, Syria has only responded to yet another aggression, with a firmness that has shaken Israel and forced it out of the muteness to which it usually confines itself. The Syrian %E2%80%93 and not Iranian %E2%80%93 response consisted of more than fifty %E2%80%93 and not twenty %E2%80%93 rockets against four sensitive Israeli military bases in the occupied Golan, which caused material damage and even casualties according to Al-Manar, Hezbollah%E2%80%99s media. These were not reported by the Israeli press because of the draconian military censorship forbidding mentioning Israel's initial aggression, more than twenty rockets fired on Israel, the identification of their targets and any hint to the damage inflicted, in order to reassure the population inside and allow the vassal Western capitals to shout their sickening refrain of the sacrosanct-right-of-Israel-to-defend-itself. The Lebanese channel Al-Mayadeen specifically identified the military posts struck: 1/ a military technical and electronic reconnaissance center; 2/ border security and intelligence station 9900; 3/ a military center for electronic jamming; 3/ a military spy center for wireless and wired networks; 4/ a transmission station; 5/ an observatory of precision weapons unit ; 6/ a combat heliport; 7/ the headquarters of the Regional Military Command of Brigade 810; 8/ the command center of the military battalion at Hermon; 9/ winter headquarters of a special alpine unit. And as this channel has reported, even Israeli journalists and analysts have expressed doubts about this unconvincing version according to which these massive strikes, unprecedented since 1974 and therefore unexpected, would have proved harmless. Moreover, as Norman Finkelstein pointed out, nothing has changed for Israel%E2%80%99s wars in Gaza from 2008 to 2014 despite the deployment of the %E2%80%9CIron Dome%E2%80%9D, only 5% of the %E2%80%93 largely primitive %E2%80%93 Hamas rockets being intercepted during %E2%80%9CProtective Edge%E2%80%9D; and one of the best missile defense specialists, Theodore Postol of MIT, has already revealed the chronic deficiencies of this system. It is unlikely that it was able to cope better with the much more sophisticated Russian, Chinese and Iranian rocket launchers that Syria has. The success of the Israeli strikes, which, according to Israeli War Minister Avigdor Lieberman, almost destroyed %E2%80%9Call of Iran's infrastructure in Syria%E2%80%9D, is largely exaggerated: Russian military officials, whose radars have followed this fight in real time, announced that more than half of the 60 missiles fired by 28 Israeli F-15s and F-16s %E2%80%93 as well as 10 ground-to-ground missiles %E2%80%93 were intercepted. The Syrian army records 3 dead and 2 wounded, a radar station and ammunition depot destroyed and material damage to Syrian anti-aircraft defense units. The latter have already demonstrated their effectiveness against strikes from Tel Aviv, Washington, London and Paris, unlike the mythical %E2%80%9CIron Dome%E2%80%9D whose main role is to reassure the Israeli population. The very presence of Iranian military bases and / or large Iranian contingents in Syria is a fable: Iran has only a modest presence (essentially composed of military advisers, indeed from the body of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards), unlike Hezbollah or Russia. Robert Fisk points out that %E2%80%9Can Israeli statement that the Iranians had missiles in Syria was surely made in concert with the Trump administration%E2%80%9D, that the Iranian forces in Syria are %E2%80%9Cfar fewer than the West imagines%E2%80%9D and that all Israeli statements should be reported with the utmost circumspection. Any objective reporting on these events should resemble that of Robert Fisk: %E2%80%9CThe latest overnight Israeli air strikes, supposedly at Iranian forces in Syria after a supposed Iranian rocket attack on Israeli forces in Golan %E2%80%93 and it%E2%80%99s important to use the %E2%80%9Csupposed%E2%80%9D and not take all this at face value %E2%80%93 must have been known to the Americans in advance.%E2%80%9D Indeed, these so-called unexpected attacks had been announced for days by the Israeli army, which had already conducted a so-called %E2%80%9Cpreemptive strike%E2%80%9D %E2%80%93 rather a provocation %E2%80%93 on May 8.

Siria impune noi reguli de angajament asupra Israelului
de Sayed Hasan tradus pentru blogul Saker
Joi, 10 mai 2018, a avut loc un schimb fără precedent de greve între Israel și Siria. Mass-media de masă , precum și unele medii "alternative", cum ar fi Rusia Today , au fost rapide să transmită versiunea armatei israeliene, conform căreia entitatea sionistă "a reprimat" un "atac iranian al Forțelor Al-Quds ale Gărzilor Revoluționare" "Douăzeci de rachete" trase la pozițiile israeliene din Golanul ocupat, dintre care patru au fost "interceptate de domul de fier", iar celelalte "s-au prăbușit pe teritoriul sirian", fără să se înregistreze daune în Israel. Israelul a reacționat la acest "act de agresiune" fără precedent printr-o "operațiune la scară largă" care ar fi distrus "întreaga infrastructură iraniană din Siria", pentru a descuraja Republica Islamică de orice impuls de lupte viitoare.
Această narațiune ia în considerație presupunerile, datele și miturile propagandei entității sioniste - care impune cenzura militară permanentă asupra mass-mediei israeliene, expunând orice infractor la o pedeapsă cu închisoarea;și citind mass-media internațională, s-ar putea ajunge la ideea că, asemenea sancțiunilor economice americane, această cenzură este extrateritorială - dar nici unul dintre ei nu poate rezista controlului.
Agresorul este, fără îndoială, Israelul, care a efectuat mai mult de o sută de lovituri împotriva Siriei de la începutul conflictului. După atacurile chimice ale scenei Duma, această agresiune sa intensificat cu atacuri asupra bazei siriene T-4 pe 9 aprilie, care a ucis 7 Gardienii Revoluționare iraniene. După anunțarea retragerii din partea Iranului a acordului nuclear din Iran, noii ofițeri israelieni au atacat marți (8 mai) pozițiile siriene vizate în suburbiile sudice Damascului și miercuri (9 mai) la Quneitra, în sudul țării. Fără îndoială, Siria a răspuns doar la o altă agresiune, cu o fermitate care a zdruncinat Israelul și a forțat-o să iasă din mutenența la care se limitează, de obicei.
Răspunsul sirian - și nu iranian - a constat din mai mult de cincizeci - și nu douăzeci de - rachete împotriva a patru baze militare israeliene sensibile în Golanul ocupat, care a provocat daune materiale și chiar victime, potrivit lui Al-Manar , mass-media Hezbollah. Acestea nu au fost raportate de către presa israeliană din cauza cenzurii militare draconice care interzicea menționarea agresiunii inițiale a Israelului, mai mult de douăzeci de rachete lansate asupra Israelului, identificarea țintelor lor și orice indiciu cu privire la daunele provocate, pentru a liniști populația în interior și a permite capitalele occidentale vasale pentru a striga refrenul lor răutăcios al sacrosanctului-drept-al-Israel-a-apăra însuși. Canalul libanez Al-Mayadeen a identificat în mod specific posturile militare lovite: 1 / un centru militar de recunoaștere tehnică și electronică; 2 / postul de securitate și informații de frontieră 9900; 3 / un centru militar pentru blocarea electronică; 3 / un centru de spionaj militar pentru rețele fără fir și cu fir; 4 / o stație de transmisie; 5 / un observator al unității de arme de precizie; 6 / un heliport de luptă; 7 / sediul comandamentului militar regional al Brigăzii 810; 8 / centrul de comandă al batalionului militar de la Hermon; 9 / sediul de iarnă al unei unități speciale alpine. Și după cum a raportat acest canal, chiar și jurnaliștii și analiștii israelieni și-au exprimat îndoiala cu privire la această versiune neconvingătoare, potrivit căreia aceste greve masive, fără precedent din 1974 și, prin urmare, neașteptate, s-ar fi dovedit inofensive.

Este puțin probabil că a reușit să facă față mai bine lansatoarelor de rachete ruse, chineze și iraniene mult mai sofisticate pe care le are Siria.
Succesul loviturilor israeliene, care, potrivit ministrului israelian de război Avigdor Lieberman , a distrus aproape "toată infrastructura Iranului în Siria", este în mare parte exagerată: oficialii militari ruși, ale căror radare au urmat această luptă în timp real, jumătate din cele 60 de rachete trase de 28 de F-15 și F-16 din Israel, precum și 10 rachete sol-sol - au fost interceptate. Armata siriană înregistrează 3 morți și 2 răniți, o stație de radar și un depozit de muniții distruse și daune materiale unităților de apărare antiaeriană siriene. Aceștia din urmă și-au demonstrat deja eficiența împotriva grevelor din Tel Aviv, Washington, Londra și Paris, spre deosebire de "domul de fier" mitic, al cărui rol principal este de a reasigura populația israeliană.
Însăși prezența bazelor militare iraniene și / sau a contingenților iranieni mari în Siria este o fabulă: Iranul are o prezență modestă (compusă în esență din consilieri militari, chiar din corpul Gărzilor revoluționare islamice), spre deosebire de Hezbollah sau Rusia. Robert Fisk arată că "o declarație israeliană că iranienii au avut rachete în Siria a fost cu siguranță făcută în concert cu administrația Trump", că forțele iraniene din Siria sunt "mult mai puține decât imaginarea Occidentului" și că toate declarațiile israeliene ar trebui să fie raportate cu cea mai mare circumspecție.Orice raportare obiectivă a acestor evenimente ar trebui să semene cu cea a lui Robert Fisk: "Cele mai recente atacuri aeriene overnight, presupuse a fi la forțele iraniene din Siria, după un presupus atac cu rachete iraniene asupra forțelor israeliene din Golan - și este important să folosim" presupusul " să luați toate acestea la valoare nominală - trebuie să fi fost cunoscute în prealabil de americani. "Într-adevăr, aceste așa-numite atacuri neașteptate au fost anunțate zile întregi de către armata israeliană, care făcuse deja o așa-zisă" grevă preventivă " o provocare - pe 8 mai.
"Linia roșie" pe care această presupusă prezență iraniană ar pune-o Israelului este infirmată de faptul că Tel Aviv a încetinit în mod constant progresul armatei arabe siriene și, folosind diverse pretexte (livrarea de arme la Hezbollah, răspuns la focurile de armă reale sau suspectate de la Golan Heights etc.), asistarea în orice mod a unor grupări teroriste armate: arme, inteligență, avioane coordonate cu ofensivi de teren, asistență medicală etc. Israel, singura țară din lume care oficial nu se teme de nimic (și într-adevăr nu are de ce să se teamă) de ISIS, Al-Qaeda și altele similare, a văzut situația din Siria să se întoarcă dintr-un vis - a se vedea o mulțime de grupuri teroriste să distrugă singurul regim arab anti-israelian , în spatele Axei de Rezistență și sângerând Hezbollah - într-un coșmar - pentru a face față forțelor Hezbollah, Siria și Iran mai puternice și puternice decât oricând, aliate cu Rezistența Palestiniană, Irak și Yemen, precum și Rusia - își continuă munca de destabilizare doar sub pretexte noi și mai direct: Hassan Nasrallah, secretarul general al Hezbollah, a anunțat că, după înfrângerea procurorilor din Siria, sponsorii lor ar putea renunța sau ar putea interveni tot mai deschis.
Iranul, a cărui opoziție față de proiectul rasist și colonialist al Israelului a fost un principiu și chiar o dogmă de la triumful Revoluției islamice din 1979, nu este ușor provocată într-o reacție prost gândită și a preferat întotdeauna să acționeze cu răbdare Obiectivele pe termen lung - să ne amintim de restricționarea sa după masacrarea diplomaților iranieni din Afganistan în 1998. Obiectivul Iranului nu este de a efectua o operațiune de represalii simple pentru a răzbuna în mod deliberat pe ofițerii și soldații săi (sau accidental, ca în cazul Quneitra în ianuarie 2015) ucis de Israel, dar să lucreze pentru eliberarea completă a Palestinei, punând capăt "regimului sionist" nelegitim, la fel ca și regimul apartheid din Africa de Sud, care, apropo, sa prăbușit după înfrângerea sa militară în Angola și Namibia împotriva mulatoneelor cubaneze, privite apoi cu atâta rasism ca supremacismul israelian evreu consideră Arabushim . După cum a subliniat Hassan Nasrallah , agresiunea directă a Israelului împotriva forțelor iraniene din Siria este un punct de cotitură major în istoria conflictului israeliano-arab - sau mai degrabă israeliano-arab-persan, iar Israelul trebuie să se pregătească acum să se confrunte cu forțele iraniene direct - fie în Siria, în Palestina ocupată sau chiar în altă parte. Mai mult, când rachetele iraniene intră pe scena, ele sunt lansate de pe teritoriul Republicii Islamice și cu un succes incontestabil, după cum arată grevele împotriva ISIS la Deir-Ez-Zor din 18 iunie 2017, ca represalii pentru atacurile teroriste în Teheran.
După cum putem vedea, realitatea nu poate fi mai diferită de fabula care a fost propagată de majoritatea mass-media. "Jurnaliștii" care preiau în mod obișnuit punctele de vorbire ale Israelului se transformă în organismele de propagandă ale IDF și în simplul agent al "diplomației minciunilor" lui Netanyahu. Israel este într-adevăr minciună în mod constant față de lume - și, din ce în ce mai mult, față de poporul său. Iar atunci când acțiunile sale nesăbuite au repercusiuni dezastruoase, ea publică comunicate grăbite și contradictorii, în care se prezintă atât ca victimă, cât și ca pedepsitor hawkish, afirmând, de asemenea, prin Lieberman și prin Rusia, că nu intenționează să intre într-o escaladare și sperând că lucrurile se vor opri aici - proclamarea succesului grevelor sale de răzbunare este, de asemenea, o modalitate de a spune că nu dorește / trebuie să meargă mai departe. Mass-media internațională sa mulțumit să repete aceste declarații imediat după primele atacuri, fără nici o distanță critică. Actorii raționali precum Iranul, Siria și Hezbollah - sau Rusia - nu se grăbesc să vorbească și să confirme sau să nege pretențiile celorlalți, lăsând adversarii lor să se încurce în minciunile lor și încrederea în primatul câmpului de luptă care devine mai favorabil zi de zi. Mai mult decât atât, faptul că un izbucnire amară pentru Israel, care inversează literalmente situația strategică, se transformă într-un succes militar de către propaganda sionistă și atlantică și combinată cu protestele israeliene de non-belligerency nu poate decât să confirme Axa de rezistență în alegerile sale.
Yoav Kish, membru al Knessetului citat de Al-Manar , a subliniat că, indiferent de autorul grevelor și de rezultatele pe care le-a interzis să le menționeze cenzura, a fost o schimbare majoră în istoria războaielor Israelului, care este fiind atacat din Siria. Într-adevăr, instalațiile militare din Golan sunt acum direcționate direct ca urmare a agresiunilor israeliene, și nu doar forțele aeriene israeliene, care au văzut deja cele mai bune - F-16 - să fie doborâte la 10 februarie 2018. Jurnaliștii și israelienii analiștii au subliniat, de asemenea, repercusiunile psihologice și economice ale acestui incident, mai mult de 20.000 de coloniști Golan fiind nevoiți să-și găsească în grabă calea înapoi la adăposturi în mijlocul nopții (cât de mult vor fi la următoarea escaladare? începutul perioadei de vară a fost inaugurat de un val de ștergeri de rezervări ale hotelurilor din cauza temerilor unui război dintre Israel și Iran. Entitatea sionistă, care fără îndoială aduce cele mai mari pierderi și pagube la adresa palestinienilor și vecinilor săi, este agitată de cele mai mici pierderi, insuportabile pentru societatea israeliană.
Acuzația împotriva Iranului se explică prin factori esențiali (rasismul inerent al societății israeliene și al primului său ministru, care cred cu mai multă bunăvoință într-o periculozitate a Iranului persan decât în cea a Siriei arabe) și circumstanțial - refuzul de a-și asuma consecințele sinuciderii politica guvernului Netanyahu , care la condus într-o confruntare directă cu întreaga Axă de Rezistență, ca să nu spunem cu Rusia. Și cel mai important, Israelul dorește să valorifice retragerea Trumpului de la acordul nuclear iranian pentru a-și promova principala obsesie, mult mai veche decât criza siriană, și anume programul balistic al Teheranului, pe care dorește să-l încheie cu Occidentul, exploatând pretextul nuclear perene - ne reamintim că fabricarea, deținerea și utilizarea armelor nucleare sunt ilegale în Islam conform lui Imam Khomeini și Ali Khamenei, autorități supreme din Iran. Netanyahu a făcut clar faptul că un război cu Iranul este inevitabil și că ar fi mai bine să se întâmple acum decât mai târziu . Din 2005, el se străduiește în zadar să-l lanseze Statele Unite pentru el, dar nici o negociere, sancțiune sau agresiune nu va descuraja Iranul de la cursul său. Și așa cum izbucnesc Israelul pe 9 aprilie, care ar fi trebuit să-i încurajeze pe Washington, Londra și Paris să facă greve severe asupra Siriei, sa încheiat cu un eșec amar, Israelul și-a înrăutățit din nou propria situație și se află singur în fața consecințele dezastruoase ale acțiunilor sale, la nivelul aroganței oarbe care le-a declanșat.
Cum rămâne cu Rusia? Prezența lui Netanyahu la Moscova pentru comemorarea celei de-a 73-a aniversări a victoriei URSS împotriva naziștilor și raportarea că Rusia nu va livra S-300 în Siria nu trebuie să ne inducă în eroare.Rusia a investit prea mult în Siria pentru a permite oricui - fie Washington, Tel Aviv, Riyadh sau Ankara - să își reducă eforturile la nimic. Moscova a declarat că nu va mai tolera loviturile occidentale împotriva Siriei în cazul unei noi masquerade a armelor chimice și că este pregătită să ofere Damascului nu neapărat cu sistemul anti-avion S-300, ci, potrivit lui Serghei Lavrov , cu "orice este obligat să ajute armata siriană să împiedice agresiunea. "Actualul sistem de apărare sirian și-a dovedit deja valoarea - inclusiv Pantherul, care este mult mai potrivit pentru nevoile armatei siriene- și permite să vă imaginați ziua în care Israelul pierde singurul său avantaj, și anume supremația aeriană - care nu a avut niciun efect în 2006 împotriva Hezbollah sau 2014 împotriva Gazei - fără de care armata de presupus "invincibilă" ragtagă se va prăbuși literalmente. Utilizarea de către Israel a rachetelor sol-pământ pentru prima dată și concentrarea atacurilor asupra apărării antiaeriene siriene - IDF a lansat filmul de distrugere a unui sistem Pantsir S-1, probabil inactiv - dovedește că este bine conștient din limitările sale.
Este evident că agresiunile israeliene împotriva Siriei vor fi din ce în ce mai costisitoare, atât pentru forța aeriană israeliană, cât și pentru bazele și populația militară internă, din cauza determinării Siriei și a aliaților săi (Hezbollah și Iran) pentru a răspunde la orice agresiune experiență și noi capacități, precum și a succeselor pe teren. Axa de rezistență - la care Rusia nu este parte - este acum capabilă să se confrunte direct cu Israelul, cu un front unit și fără teama de escaladare. În ceea ce privește Israelul, deja copleșit de demonstrațiile pașnice din Gaza, care trebuie să culmineze pe 15 mai, nu este pregătit de război împotriva unui singur membru al Axei de rezistență, cu atât mai puțin împotriva mai multor simultan. Noua ecuație impusă de armata siriană pe 10 mai este mult mai îngrijorătoare pentru Israel decât perspectiva pierderii unui alt F-16, deoarece Damasc și-a arătat hotărârea de a duce război pe teritoriul inamic și de a lovi cu exactitate entitatea sionistă .
Axa de rezistență va avea în curând o privire asupra Golanului ocupat, că Siria nu a renunțat niciodată la eliberare prin luptă armată - un drept conferit chiar de dreptul internațional în sine, acest teritoriu fiind recunoscut ca fiind sirian de către toată comunitatea internațională: orice operațiune siriană există un act legal și legitim de rezistență împotriva agresiunii Israelului în 1967 și ocupării ulterioare, chiar și fără alte provocări. Începând cu mai 2013, Hassan Nasrallah a anunțat participarea Hezbollah la deschiderea unei noi linii de întâlnire în Golan. În martie 2017, [url=https://www.ynetn source : http//sayed7asan.blogspot.fr/2018/05/la-syrie-impose-de-nouvelles-regles-de.html On Thursday 10th May 2018, an unprecedented exchange of strikes happened between Israel and Syria. The mainstream media, as well as some %E2%80%9Calternative%E2%80%9D media like Russia Today, were quick to relay the Israeli army version, according to which the Zionist entity %E2%80%9Cretaliated%E2%80%9D to an %E2%80%9CIranian attack by Revolutionary Guards%E2%80%99 Al-Quds Force%E2%80%9D consisting of %E2%80%9Ctwenty rockets%E2%80%9D fired at Israeli positions in the occupied Golan, four of which were %E2%80%9Cintercepted by the Iron Dome%E2%80%9D and the others %E2%80%9Ccrashed into Syrian territory%E2%80%9D, no damage being recorded in Israel. Israel has reportedly responded to this unprecedented %E2%80%9Cact of aggression%E2%80%9D by a %E2%80%9Clarge-scale operation%E2%80%9D that would have destroyed %E2%80%9Cthe entire Iranian infrastructure in Syria%E2%80%9D, in order to deter the Islamic Republic from any stray impulse of future strikes. This narrative takes for granted the postulates, data and myths of the Zionist entity's propaganda %E2%80%93 which imposes permanent military censorship on the Israeli media, exposing any offender to a prison sentence; and reading the international media, one might get the idea that, like American economic sanctions, this censorship is extraterritorial %E2%80%93 but none of them can withstand scrutiny. The aggressor is undoubtedly Israel, who carried out more than a hundred strikes against Syria since the beginning of the conflict. After Duma's chemical stage attacks, this aggresion intensified with attacks on the Syrian T-4 base on April 9, which killed 7 Iranian Revolutionary Guard. Following the US announcement of withdrawal from the Iran nuclear deal, new Israeli strikes targeted Syrian positions on Tuesday (May 8th) in the southern suburbs of Damascus, and Wednesday (May 9th) in Quneitra, in the south of the country. Undeniably, Syria has only responded to yet another aggression, with a firmness that has shaken Israel and forced it out of the muteness to which it usually confines itself. The Syrian %E2%80%93 and not Iranian %E2%80%93 response consisted of more than fifty %E2%80%93 and not twenty %E2%80%93 rockets against four sensitive Israeli military bases in the occupied Golan, which caused material damage and even casualties according to Al-Manar, Hezbollah%E2%80%99s media. These were not reported by the Israeli press because of the draconian military censorship forbidding mentioning Israel's initial aggression, more than twenty rockets fired on Israel, the identification of their targets and any hint to the damage inflicted, in order to reassure the population inside and allow the vassal Western capitals to shout their sickening refrain of the sacrosanct-right-of-Israel-to-defend-itself. The Lebanese channel Al-Mayadeen specifically identified the military posts struck: 1/ a military technical and electronic reconnaissance center; 2/ border security and intelligence station 9900; 3/ a military center for electronic jamming; 3/ a military spy center for wireless and wired networks; 4/ a transmission station; 5/ an observatory of precision weapons unit ; 6/ a combat heliport; 7/ the headquarters of the Regional Military Command of Brigade 810; 8/ the command center of the military battalion at Hermon; 9/ winter headquarters of a special alpine unit. And as this channel has reported, even Israeli journalists and analysts have expressed doubts about this unconvincing version according to which these massive strikes, unprecedented since 1974 and therefore unexpected, would have proved harmless. Moreover, as Norman Finkelstein pointed out, nothing has changed for Israel%E2%80%99s wars in Gaza from 2008 to 2014 despite the deployment of the %E2%80%9CIron Dome%E2%80%9D, only 5% of the %E2%80%93 largely primitive %E2%80%93 Hamas rockets being intercepted during %E2%80%9CProtective Edge%E2%80%9D; and one of the best missile defense specialists, Theodore Postol of MIT, has already revealed the chronic deficiencies of this system. It is unlikely that it was able to cope better with the much more sophisticated Russian, Chinese and Iranian rocket launchers that Syria has. The success of the Israeli strikes, which, according to Israeli War Minister Avigdor Lieberman, almost destroyed %E2%80%9Call of Iran's infrastructure in Syria%E2%80%9D, is largely exaggerated: Russian military officials, whose radars have followed this fight in real time, announced that more than half of the 60 missiles fired by 28 Israeli F-15s and F-16s %E2%80%93 as well as 10 ground-to-ground missiles %E2%80%93 were intercepted. The Syrian army records 3 dead and 2 wounded, a radar station and ammunition depot destroyed and material damage to Syrian anti-aircraft defense units. The latter have already demonstrated their effectiveness against strikes from Tel Aviv, Washington, London and Paris, unlike the mythical %E2%80%9CIron Dome%E2%80%9D whose main role is to reassure the Israeli population. The very presence of Iranian military bases and / or large Iranian contingents in Syria is a fable: Iran has only a modest presence (essentially composed of military advisers, indeed from the body of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards), unlike Hezbollah or Russia. Robert Fisk points out that %E2%80%9Can Israeli statement that the Iranians had missiles in Syria was surely made in concert with the Trump administration%E2%80%9D, that the Iranian forces in Syria are %E2%80%9Cfar fewer than the West imagines%E2%80%9D and that all Israeli statements should be reported with the utmost circumspection. Any objective reporting on these events should resemble that of Robert Fisk: %E2%80%9CThe latest overnight Israeli air strikes, supposedly at Iranian forces in Syria after a supposed Iranian rocket attack on Israeli forces in Golan %E2%80%93 and it%E2%80%99s important to use the %E2%80%9Csupposed%E2%80%9D and not take all this at face value %E2%80%93 must have been known to the Americans in advance.%E2%80%9D Indeed, these so-called unexpected attacks had been announced for days by the Israeli army, which had already conducted a so-called %E2%80%9Cpreemptive strike%E2%80%9D %E2%80%93 rather a provocation %E2%80%93 on May 8. The %E2%80%9Cred line%E2%80%9D that this alleged Iranian presence would pose to Israel is belied by the fact that Tel Aviv has, since the beginning of the conflict, been steadily slowing the progress of the Syrian Arab Army and, using various pretexts (delivery of arms to Hezbollah, response to actual or suspected gunfire from the Golan Heights, etc.), assisting armed terrorist groups in any way possible: weapons, intelligence, airstrikes coordinated with ground offensives, medical care, etc. Israel, the only country in the world that officially does not fear anything (and indeed has nothing to fear) from ISIS, Al-Qaeda and the like, has seen the situation in Syria turn from a dream %E2%80%93 see a myriad of terrorist groups tear down the only anti-Israeli Arab regime, back of the Resistance Axis, and bleed Hezbollah %E2%80%93 into a nightmare %E2%80%93 to face Hezbollah, Syrian and Iran forces more battle-hardened and powerful than ever, and allied with the Palestinian Resistance, Iraq and Yemen, as well as Russia %E2%80%93, is only continuing its destabilizing work under new pretexts, and more directly: Hassan Nasrallah, the Secretary General of Hezbollah, had announced that after the defeat of proxies in Syria, their sponsors could either give up or intervene more and more openly. Iran, whose opposition to the racist and colonialist project of Israel has been a principle and even a dogma since the triumph of the Islamic Revolution in 1979, is not easily provoked into an ill-thought reaction, and has always preferred to act with patience for long-term objectives %E2%80%93 let us remember its restraint after the massacre of Iranian diplomats in Afghanistan in 1998. The goal of Iran is not to carry out a simple reprisal operation to avenge his officers and soldiers deliberately (or accidentally, as was the case in Quneitra in January 2015) killed by Israel, but to work for the complete liberation of Palestine by putting an end to the illegitimate %E2%80%9CZionist regime%E2%80%9D, just like the Apartheid regime in South Africa, which, by the way, collapsed after its military defeat in Angola and Namibia against Cuban mulattoes, then viewed with as much racism as Israeli Jewish supremacism considers Arabushim. As Hassan Nasrallah pointed out, Israel's direct aggression against Iranian forces in Syria is a major turning point in the history of the Israeli-Arab %E2%80%93 or rather, Israeli-Arab-Persian %E2%80%93 conflict, and Israel must now get ready to confront the Iranian forces directly %E2%80%93 whether in Syria, occupied Palestine or even elsewhere. Moreover, when the Iranian missiles enter the scene, they are launched from the territory of the Islamic Republic and with undeniable success, as shown by the strikes against ISIS at Deir-Ez-Zor on June 18, 2017, in retaliation for terrorist attacks in Tehran. As we can see, the reality cannot be more different from the fable that has been propagated by the majority of the media. %E2%80%9CJournalists%E2%80%9D who tamely take over Israel's talking points turn into IDF propaganda outlets and mere agents of Netanyahu's %E2%80%9Cdiplomacy of lies%E2%80%9D. Israel is indeed constantly lying to the world %E2%80%93 and, increasingly, to its own people. And when its reckless actions have disastrous repercussions, it publishes hasty and contradictory communiqu%C3%A9s in which it presents itself both as a victim and as a hawkish punisher, while also claiming, through Lieberman and via Russia, to have no intention of stepping into an escalation and hoping things will stop there %E2%80%93 proclaiming the success of its retaliatory strikes is also a way to say it does not want/need to go any further. The international media contented itself with repeating these statements immediately after the first attacks, without any critical distance. Rational actors like Iran, Syria and Hezbollah %E2%80%93 or Russia %E2%80%93 are not in such a hurry to speak out and confirm or deny other's claims, leaving their opponents getting entangled in their lies, and trusting in the primacy of the battlefield that becomes more favorable to them day by day. Moreover, the fact that a bitter setback for Israel, which literally reverses the strategic situation, is transformed into a military success by Zionist and Atlantist propaganda, and combined with Israeli protests of non-belligerency, can only confirm the Resistance Axis in its choices. Yoav Kish, a member of the Knesset quoted by Al-Manar, stressed that regardless of the author of the strikes and their results %E2%80%93 that censorship forbade from mentioning %E2%80%93, it was a major shift in the history of the wars of Israel, which is being attacked from Syria. Indeed, the Golan military installations are now directly targeted as a result of Israeli aggressions, and not just the Israeli air force, which has already seen its finest %E2%80%93 the F-16 %E2%80%93 be shot down on February 10, 2018. The journalists and Israeli analysts also pointed out the psychological and economic repercussions of this incident, with more than 20,000 Golan settlers having had to hastily find their way back to the shelters in the middle of the night (how much will they be at the next escalation?), and the beginning of the summer period having been ushered in by a wave of hotel reservation deletions due to fears of a war between Israel and Iran. The Zionist entity, which unabashedly inflicts the greatest loss and damage to the Palestinians and its neighbors, is severely shaken by the slightest losses, unbearable for Israeli society. The accusation against Iran is explained by essential factors (the inherent racism of Israeli society and its Prime Minister, who more willingly believe in a dangerousness of Persian Iran than in that of Arab Syria) and circumstantial %E2%80%93 a refusal to assume the consequences of the suicidal policy of the Netanyahu government, which led him to a direct confrontation with the entire Resistance Axis, not to say with Russia. And most importantly, Israel wants to capitalize on Trump%27s withdrawal from the Iranian nuclear deal to advance its main obsession, much older than the Syrian crisis, namely Tehran%27s ballistic program, which it wants the West to end with, exploiting the perennial nuclear pretext %E2%80%93 let us remind that the manufacture, possession and use of nuclear weapons are unlawful in Islam according to Imam Khomeini and Ali Khamenei, supreme authorities in Iran. Netanyahu has made it clear that a war with Iran is inevitable, and that it would be better to happen now than later. Since 2005, he vainly strives for the United States to launch it for him, but no negotiation, sanction or aggression will ever deter Iran from its course. And just as the Israeli strikes on April 9, which were supposed to encourage Washington, London and Paris to conduct severe strikes on Syria, ended in a bitter failure, Israel only worsened its own situation yet again and finds itself alone in the face of the disastrous consequences of its actions, to the extent of the blind arrogance that triggered them. What about Russia? Netanyahu%27s presence in Moscow for the commemoration of the 73rd anniversary of the USSR%27s victory against Nazism, and reports that Russia would not deliver the S-300s to Syria, must not mislead us. Russia has invested far too much in Syria to allow anyone %E2%80%93 be it Washington, Tel Aviv, Riyadh or Ankara %E2%80%93 to reduce its efforts to nothing. Moscow said it would no longer tolerate Western strikes against Syria in case of a new chemical weapons masquerade, and that it is ready to provide Damascus not necessarily with the S-300 anti-aircraft system, but, according to Sergei Lavrov, with %E2%80%9Cwhatever is required to help the Syrian army to deter aggression.%E2%80%9D The current Syrian defense systems have already proven their worth %E2%80%93 Including the Pantsir, which is much more suited to the needs of the Syrian army %E2%80%93, and allow to envision the day when Israel loses its only advantage, namely the air supremacy %E2%80%93 that already was to no avail in 2006 against Hezbollah or 2014 against Gaza %E2%80%93, without which its supposedly %E2%80%9Cinvincible%E2%80%9D ragtag army would literally crumble. Israel%27s use of ground-to-ground missiles for the first time, and the concentration of attacks on Syrian anti-aircraft defenses %E2%80%93 IDF released the video of the destruction of a Pantsir S-1 system, probably inactive %E2%80%93 proves that it is well aware of its limitations. It is obvious that Israeli aggressions against Syria will be increasingly costly, both for the Israeli air force and for its internal military bases and population, because of the determination of Syria and its allies (Hezbollah and Iran) to respond to any aggression, of their experience and new capabilities, and of their successes on the ground. The Resistance Axis %E2%80%93 of which Russia is not a part %E2%80%93 is now able to face Israel directly on its own, with a united front and without fear of escalation. As for Israel, already overwhelmed by the peaceful demonstrations in Gaza that must culminate on May 15, it is not ready for war against a single member of the Resistance Axis, let alone against several of them simultaneously. The new equation imposed by the Syrian army on May 10 is more fearsome for Israel than the prospect of the loss of another F-16, as Damascus has shown its determination to wage war on enemy territory, and to strike the Zionist entity in its depth. The Resistance Axis will soon have its eyes fixed on the occupied Golan, that Syria has never given up liberating by armed struggle %E2%80%93 a right conferred by international law itself, this territory being recognized as Syrian by all the international community: any Syrian operation there is a legal and legitimate act of resistance against Israel%E2%80%99s 1967 aggression in and subsequent occupation, even without further provocation. As early as May 2013, Hassan Nasrallah announced Hezbollah%27s participation in the opening of a new frontline in Golan. In March 2017, the Golan Liberation Brigade was formed by Iraqi Hezbollah, Harakat al-Nujaba, a movement backed by Iran and involved in the liberation of Iraq and Syria from ISIS. Today, Syrian strikes in the occupied Golan unquestionably open up a new chapter in the history of the Israeli-Arab wars, in which Israel will increasingly be forced into a defensive position. Are we going to see the IDF building a wall on the border of the occupied Golan to hinder any future invasion, as is already the case on the Lebanese-Israeli border to prevent Hezbollah%27s promised incursion into the Galilee? Anyway, the next war against Israel will drastically change the map of the Middle East.ews.com/articles/0,7340,L-4934399,00.html]Brigada de Eliberare Golan a[/url] fost formată de Hezbollah irakian, Harakat al-Nujaba, o mișcare susținută de Iran și implicată în eliberarea Irakului și Siriei de la ISIS. Astăzi, grevele siriene din Golanul ocupat deschid, fără îndoială, un nou capitol din istoria războaielor israeliano-arabe, în care Israelul va fi forțat din ce în ce mai mult într-o poziție defensivă. Vom vedea IDF construind un zid de la granița Golanului ocupat pentru a împiedica orice invazie viitoare, așa cum se întâmplă deja în granița dintre Liban și Israel pentru a împiedica incursiunea promisă a Hezbollahului în Galileea ?Oricum, următorul război împotriva Israelului va schimba drastic harta din Orientul Mijlociu.
