ed note–remember as you read this that this is the same Ehud Barak who warned a few months ago that the current government in Israel is composed of ‘messianics’ who are out to start WWIII over the issue of the Temple Mount.
What this means is as follows–
Barak is right. The growing consensus amongst the rest of the civilized world is that Israel is as Israel does, meaning that she is a feral, savage nation that murders innocent women and children just for the fun of it, to say nothing of the religious reasons driving it all.
Not that this bothers Netanyahu and the Armageddonists making up his government, however. As far as he/they are concerned, their view of it all is exactly what war criminal Ariel Sharon was quoted saying before he died and went to hell where he belongs, which is that–
‘Tell me, do the evil men of this world have a bad time? They hunt and catch whatever they feel like eating…They don’t suffer from indigestion and are not punished by Heaven. I want Israel to join that club. Maybe the world will then at last begin to fear us instead of feeling sorry. Maybe they will start to tremble, to fear our madness….Let them tremble, let them call us a mad state…Let them understand that we are a savage country, dangerous to our surroundings, not normal, that we might go wild, that we might start World War Three just like that, or that we might one day go crazy and burn all the oil fields in the Middle East…’
However, what we have to keep in mind here is the bigger picture of what Israel intends to see take place, which is not just the slaughter of innocent men, women and children in Gaza, but Armageddon itself and with America/the West doing the lion’s share of the fighting, and especially against Iran.
And what this means is that at this time, when world opinion is turning against Israel as a result of her bloodthirsty actions against the Palestinian Gentiles in Gaza is that what’s needed is the ‘Great Reset’.
No, we aren’t talking about that other ‘Great Reset’ involving Klaus Schwab and the World Economic Forum that is so much discussed by nitwits such as Hannity, Glen Beck and all the other shabbos goy paid millions to intoxicate the collective American right with the poison of pro-Zionist propaganda, but rather a version of the same ‘great reset’ which Israel brought about 22 years ago in downtown Manhattan, to wit–
There are many possibilities as to what will encompass this ‘great reset’ that Israel is planning, whether it involves the detonation of a nuclear weapon smuggled across the southern border and blamed on Iran, coordinated mass-shootings by ‘agents of Hezbollah or Hamas’, again, facilitated by an open border in the southwest and blamed on Iran, a biological attack, courtesy of the same bioweapons lab in Israel were Covid was produced, a cyber attack on the banking infrastructure, or a combination of all of the above.
And what’s worse is the fact that whatever poisoned chalice is offered to the American people by Judea, Inc in seducing them into going to war against Israel’s enemies as took place in 2001, they will greedily and gleefully gulp from that chalice, having learned NONE of the lessons of what happened following 9/11 nor having heard any of the very loud warnings emanating from a certain DJT about the coming Apocalypse that he spent the 4 years of his presidency trying to prevent.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu may be digging in for a ‘long and difficult war’ but former leader Ehud Barak fears Israel has only weeks left to eliminate Hamas, as public opinion — most significantly in the U.S. — rapidly swings against its attacks on Gaza.
In an exclusive interview with POLITICO, the former prime minister and chief of the Israel Defense Forces also suggested a multinational Arab force could have to take control of Gaza after the military campaign, to help usher in a return of Mahmoud Abbas’ Palestinian Authority to take over from Hamas. Even with that change of the political order in Gaza, however, Barak stressed the return to diplomacy aimed at the creation of a Palestinian state was a very remote prospect.
Barak, who led Israel between 1999 and 2001, observed the rhetoric of U.S. officials had shifted in recent days with a mounting chorus of calls for a humanitarian pause in the fighting. The sympathy generated toward Israel in the immediate wake of October 7, when Hamas launched the deadliest terrorist attack on Israel in the Jewish state’s 75-year history, was now diminishing, he worried.
‘You can see the window is closing. It’s clear we are heading towards friction with the Americans about the offensive. America cannot dictate to Israel what to do, but we cannot ignore them either,’ he said, in reference to Washington’s role as the main guarantor of Israel’s security. ‘We will have to come to terms with the American demands within the next two or three weeks, probably less.’
As he was speaking, Israeli military officials told reporters the ground campaign was reaching a new dangerous phase with troops penetrating deep inside Gaza City, further than in previous operations in 2009 and 2014.
Barak added it would take months or even a year to extirpate the Islamist militant group Hamas — the main war aim set by Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu and his war cabinet – but noted Western support was weakening because of the civilian death toll in Gaza and fears of Israel’s campaign sparking a much broader and even more catastrophic war in the region.
Western nations are also anxious about their nationals among the 242 hostages Hamas is holding captive in Gaza, he continued.
‘Listen to the public tone — and behind closed doors it is a little bit more explicit. We are losing public opinion in Europe and in a week or two we’ll start to lose governments in Europe. And after another week the friction with the Americans will emerge to the surface,’ Barak said.
Last week, President Joe Biden raised the need for a ‘humanitarian pause’ in the campaign.
And this week on his fourth trip to Israel, and his third to the region since October 7, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken pressed the case with Netanyahu and the Israeli war cabinet telling them they should now prioritize the protection of civilians in Gaza and minimize civilian casualties.
Blinken’s efforts so far have been spurned by Netanyahu but Barak didn’t think the Israeli war cabinet would be able to fend off the Biden administration and Europeans for much longer.
