In the division of work among the imperialists, Israel as Shimon Peres the former PM and President of the Zionist Apartheid state has said, is an important strategic asset of the West: “Hanit in the Hebrew word meaning spearhead. That word explains why Israel is a vital strategic asst not just to Great Britain, but to the West as a whole” [1]
That is why Netanyahu said during the war on Gaza we fight also for the West.
“Israel needs global support in its military campaign to oust Hamas from Gaza to safeguard both Israel and the Western world, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told his government on Monday at its weekly meeting. Israel needs global support in its military campaign to oust Hamas from Gaza to safeguard both Israel and the Western world, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told his government on Monday at its weekly meeting. “We’ve made it clear that we are not only fighting our war, but also their war; because if Hamas is not defeated, then the axis of evil will win,” Netanyahu said.’ve made it clear that we are not only fighting our war, but also their war; because if Hamas is not defeated, then the axis of evil will win,” Netanyahu said” [2]
But in this war on Gaza, Israel has turned out to be a very poor and expensive asset. A small Palestinian fighter force that can be combined between 10,000-50,000 freedom fighters has been fighting what was assumed to be the fourth stronger army in the world for a month and Israel has not won any significant victory.
Hamas has destroyed the myth that the Zionist army is unbeatable. The American Imperialists that believed the myth had to send Israel 14.5 billion dollars and experts to direct the Zionist army.
Today the right-wing Zionist daily is proving the above. It says even if the Israeli army won some fights: “But even if they are achieving their daily tactical objectives and even if they say their success is moving faster than they expected, it is extremely unclear how much fundamental progress has been made in toppling Hamas regarding many key parameters”.
“To date, about a week into the invasion and despite its many successes, the IDF is far from having killed or arrested the vast majority of Hamas’s forces. It also has not succeeded in even slowing, let alone eliminating, its rocket fire on either the Gaza border communities or the Tel Aviv area. In addition, the IDF – and the country – suffered a reeling blow this week when dozens of soldiers were killed in Gaza.” [3]
Thus, instead of showing to the Western imperialists that Israel is guarding their control of the region and save them money by using Israeli soldiers Netanyahu had to beg: “Israel needs global support in its military campaign to oust Hamas from Gaza to safeguard both Israel and the Western world, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told his government on Monday at its weekly meeting” [4]
Against 120 states that have called for immediate ceasefire while only 14 states opposed it (Western imperialists mainly), Biden in his last statement said that Israel has at most two weeks before humanitarian pause. The same message was delivered by the American secretary of state: US Secretary of State Antony Blinken pushed for a mechanism to allow for a series of humanitarian “pauses” to the Gaza War while in Israel on Friday, as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu insisted that any such step must be accompanied by the release of hostages. We need to do more to protect Palestinian civilians,” Blinken told reporters in Tel Aviv on Friday, in what he said was his fourth visit since the start of the Gaza War on October 7″ [5] [6]
But it may be too late for the U.S. By now all the masses in the Arab and Muslim countries and in Latin America and Asia are aware that it is possible to win a war against the imperialists and the process of boycott of Israel by the 120 states that called for the immediate ceasefire has begun.
This is the biggest defeat that Israel has suffered. If the number of Zionist soldiers dead in the war with the resistance will pass the 1000 the Israelis will be desperate and clinically depressed. If the number reaches tens of thousands they will begin to run away. Already 7000 Russian Israelis escaped Israel.
Israel has spent probably 2 billion dollars so far and 760,000 workers have lost their work due to the war so soon Israel will beg for more money.
