PFLP calls for escalation in all of Palestine for Gaza tomorrow

I'm calling it; we're living through Cold War 2 right now, this very second, and we have been since 2021 or even 2014. Historians will see Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan the way we look back at Korea, Viet Nam, etc. Iran, Russia, and China are going to fucking win.

The fascists are latching onto this "be careful tomorrow" thing because they see it as an opportunity to make people scared of any and every brown person. Their goal is to increase racism.

I'm sticking with Genocide Joe, but what do y'all think of Ethnic Cleansing Anthony?

I'm debating whether sounding like a 2012 meme template is good or bad.

Israeli military spokesman confirms Palestinian Resistance fighters are still present in the Gaza envelope area, and "it is still a combat zone."

Tomorrow, no matter how long it takes, we will celebrate—certainly—the liberation of the land, the liberation of Al-Quds, the liberation of the entire land of Palestine"

-Martyred PFLP founder and Secretary-General Al-Hakim, George Habash

Israel’s intel failure is 'bad for business'

The sheer scale and intensity of the Palestinian resistance's Operation Al-Aqsa Flood took Israel and the world by surprise last week. Even seasoned western intelligence agency veterans, who possess intimate knowledge of Israel's surveillance capabilities, struggled to provide any plausible explanation for the glaring security gaps. Academics with decades of research on the conflict, also admitted they are none the wiser: “Honestly I have no f'ing clue what's going on. What this means. Or where this heads. Literally anything is possible,” tweeted an Associate Fellow at “the world's oldest and the UK's leading defense and security think tank,” the Royal United Services Institute (RUSI).

US officials were notably evasive when asked if this amounted to an epic "intelligence failure." Mainstream news outlets openly pondered how Tel Aviv could have missed the Palestinians' elaborate plans while conspiracy theories quickly spread online to suggest that Israel may have intentionally allowed the incursion to occur - as if the Occupation state ever required an excuse to pulverize Gaza.

A Financial Times report on the fiasco alleged that Israel “has built the most formidable intelligence service in the region and established a network of informants throughout the Palestinian territories, as well as in hostile neighbors” such as Iran, Lebanon, and Syria. Yet, despite this apparently formidable fifth column and Tel Aviv's construction of “a high-security barrier around Hamas’ stronghold in hemmed-in Gaza - buttressed by motion sensors and extending deep under the ground” - hundreds of Palestinian fighters were able to breach those defenses without difficulty.

This they did from multiple fronts, using boats, tunnels, motorbikes, and paragliders, infiltrating ten occupation army bases, and killing hundreds of sleeping Israeli troops. Al-Aqsa Flood involved arranging multiple rocket launch systems, ground forces, vehicles, and other equipment in sensitive positions in advance of its execution, leaving resistance fighters and their equipment exposed to surveillance from assorted angles, yet they were neither detected nor intercepted.

Tel Aviv has invested billions of dollars in constructing its reputation, and has routinely boasted in the years prior that it was among the most heavily fortified and defended countries in the world. In the event, the technology was rendered totally useless, their extensive constituent cameras, sensors, and other systems not identifying the attack or perpetrators. Meanwhile, drones blitzed automatic machine guns and electronic guard towers, as the Palestinian resistance blew up fences and entered into Israel.

But beyond the military and settler losses endured by the Occupation state, the broader psychological impact of this Palestinian guerilla operation is profound. And it comes on the back of two years of relentless, and often successful, foreign hacking operations that have penetrated Israel's toughest firewalls across critical institutions - including the country's Ministry of Defense.

Last year, the Times of Israel reported that in 2021, the country’s overall cybersecurity exports were estimated at $11 billion. In addition, 33 percent of cyber unicorn companies operate from Israel, and a whopping 40 percent of global private cyber investments have been funneled into the country, according to the Israeli government. From Tel Aviv's perspective, the exposure of their electronic surveillance and warfare systems as ineffective and vulnerable to guerrilla attacks is a serious blow to Israel's "Startup Nation" brand, which relies heavily on its multi-billion-dollar tech sector - with cybersecurity at its core.

Mere days before Operation al-Aqsa Flood commenced, Israeli media reported on a “record-breaking spike” in countries buying Israeli cyber warfare and intelligence systems from 67 to 83 over 2022, and marketing licenses for these wares granted to 126 countries. This followed a “dramatic decline” in 2021, precipitated by the exposure of widespread use of Pegasus by repressive governments, and NSO and Candiru being blacklisted by Washington. It seems likely the events of recent days will also lead to a significant decline in the fortunes of Israel’s cybersecurity sector. Gaza is, by design, an open-air concentration camp, and in theory, nothing and no one gets in or out without Tel Aviv’s authorization and knowledge. However, this time, the supposed internal surveillance system failed catastrophically.

Henceforth will only be referring to Joe Biden as Genocide Joe.

I've seen Zionists near one of the settlements Hamas attacked justify Israel's atrocities by complaining about their "right to comfort" after all water and food to Gaza had been cut off. This is an entire nation with the mindset of American small business cretins who scream at service workers and call the cops on black people having a cookout. The most hysterical reactionary at a school board meeting given a gun and a flag and given license to attack brown people with impunity.

The last few days have filled me with a lot of dread and frustration, I hope you're all doing okay

Israel seems to be taking less of a "Leningrad Approach" like Hersh's article said might happen, but more of a "Stalingrad Approach". At least I'm hoping it's Stalingrad, and not Warsaw.

Holy fuck normally it’s just like a hole and a room will be smashed up when they show vids of resistance rocket aftermaths but I just saw an entire building close to (or in?) Tel Aviv in that had collapsed on the resistance news network, there are supposedly settlers buried in the rubble.

From here

if Hezbollah and others don't intervene sooner or later and they just let Israel raze Gaza to the ground then it honestly does prompt the question of what these organizations are even, like, doing. "Oh, my militant group that I basically explicitly formed to fight Israel isn't going to get involved because Israel didn't spin three times in a circle, clap their hands, and say "Abracadra" as we warned them would be our condition for entry, so now, instead of hitting Israel when it is at its weakest in the last 50 years, we'll just wait for them to demolish every Palestinian settlement and then hope that something comes around in 2035 I guess. Maybe the US will lose all its aircraft carriers in a hurricane or something."

Like, I'm not saying that Hezbollah and Iran and whatever should be fervently marching into a potential nuclear scenario if that isn't what the "pragmatic, realist, sensible" analysis of the situation dictates. Like, as utterly callous as it might be, if Iran and friends had decided in like 2010 that "It sucks, but we just can't do anything because the threat that Israel will nuke Tehran and Beirut and other places is too high, and would lead to more suffering than if we tried to help Palestine, so we're disbanding our groups," then I would at least be like "Well, Gaza and the West Bank are on their own, then, and they can't really rely on outsiders to march in to save them." No, Iran and Hezbollah still exist and are still pretty fervently anti-Israel and want its destruction one way or another, and want to help the Palestinian people, and have massive arsenals of weaponry and rockets and drones and thousands and thousands of trained men and so on, seemingly despite the potential nuclear (or indeed conventional) threat from Israel and the West. So if they don't help now then I can't see what exactly would be the impetus for anti-Israel actions in the future once Gaza is a depopulated pile of rubble, even if a substantial amount of the Israeli army was destroyed in the process. Once the Palestinians are gone, whether all killed or forcibly moved elsewhere - and I don't see why Israel's government would allow Gaza and the West Bank to exist as Palestinian settlements any further from this point on if there's a possibility that October 7th could happen again in a few years - then like... that's basically it, surely? Not much point if there's nothing and nobody left to save?

Really hoping that they're just saying that they'll only hit Israel if they invade Gaza, but are actually buying time to get everything in position and hoping that they can scare Israel into not rampaging in, and will just start blasting out of nowhere one day. I understand that it takes time to rev everything up for war, get supply chains set up, get units in position, get intelligence, etc, and Hezbollah didn't know anything in advance so couldn't really prepare in advance.

Sure, keep blurring the line between civilian and troop, keep giving more ARs to bloodthirsty volunteer death squads, surely these randos won’t get eaten up by resistance fighters or die to friendly fire https://www.timesofisrael.com/ben-gvir-says-10000-assault-rifles-purchased-for-civilian-security-teams

2 IDF vehicles entered Jenin and were immediately met with this response.

Hamas reported a successful strike by an Ayash-250 ballistic missile on the IDF Northern Military District headquarters in Safed.

The Israelis confirmed the launch and reported intercepting the target, but footage later emerged of the arrival hitting the Sterokem fertilizer plant in Haifa. Whether it was an exact hit from another similar munition or the fallen remains of a downed rocket is not yet known.

Coordinates: 32.7797498, 35.0721901.

The nuance is that both Safed and Haifa are over 150 kilometers away from the Gaza Strip, confirming the Palestinian group's ability to hit targets virtually throughout Israel.

This is the second documented use of the Ayash 250 by Hamas: before that they launched it at Ramon Airbase in the Negev Desert during last year's escalation in 2021.

I know Americans can be just as bad, but every video of Israeli settlers I see on TikTok gloating is just unsettling.

Hezbollah are calling the attacks they've made only a response to Israel's attacks earlier today. They're not an invasion, just tit for tat.

Israel has responded to this with artillery shelling but I can't really confirm what they fired at.

Hezbollah announces that it targeted five IDF sites across the border

In the name of God, the most gracious, the most merciful,

The Mujahideen of the Islamic Resistance attacked five Zionist border sites: Jal Al-Alam, Birkat Risha, Ramya Site, Al-Manara Site, and Al-Abad Site, with direct and appropriate weapons. ‏> Victory comes only from God, the Mighty, the Wise.

How surreal.

Hamas said that at 5pm they'd attack Ashkelon. So - CNN and MSNBC went there and then was CNN vs MSNBC in Ashkelon. CNN lost - their correspondent was in a bunker. MSNBC won - their correspondent was on the street and you could hear the sirens wailing and when the camera pointed at the sky - you could see the Iron Dome in action.

I bet CNN's correspondent will take greater risks and MSNBC's will respond in kind. Nobody likes to lose. I wonder if greater recklessness will cause an American network news war streamer (or their crew) will get hurt or killed in their efforts to win.

Edit 1

The CNN correspondent is now on a balcony. I'm actually surprised she's not on the street to get more dynamic video.
