the gaza situation

Post by wanabe »

I was reading about the war in gaza, recent events. It got me thinking, this would be a BAD time for hammas or the palisinians or anyone for that matter to "attack" israel.

The reasoning: bush can almost absolve him self for not solving the issue, and in his case, do nothing, and have a good excuse for doing so. as he is passing the torch to obama, bush is also leaving him a problem, as if to give him a polotical middle finger...it is not logical for hammas to attack now, because they should know by now, that israel can crush them, since hammas knows that america supports them financialy and some what technologicaly, But holds them back politicaly...so if the inital attack by hammas is a staged event, which it sort of seems to be, because it is such a bad time for hammas to attack. What is the motivation/benifit, for either: a. America to let it happen.(or is it all american propaganda that we are incharge of the world) B. For Israel to attack??? I say conspiracy theory. However hammas just could be retarted terroists with bad stratagy, but it seems like they have had enough practice to know better. Why after all his campaing and hype, does obama say nothing about the issue? I think there are some larger greedy gears at work here. There is also heating fuel crisis in europe. Is this a distraction, so that we can get cheaper fuel for the time being, as gas prices have gone up a little, but not a lot, since holiday times? (Why play fake games when there are so manny real ones going on)

It's a good try, Wanabe, and you heart is in the right place, but actually, since the Egypt-brokered truce the rocket attacks by Hamas have decreased so markedly that they might even seem to be the work of a very few not officially-controlled Hamas personel.

The illegal invasion of Israel into Gaza began after the TRUCE is in PLACE, and working. If you want to do conspiracy, read ' BushCo. and Israel want to increase Israel's military actions in the ME before Obama gets into office'.

This would seem to BushCo to be wise because BushCo and Israel are paranoid about Iran, as Bush Co was about Iraq. Paranoia can blind the sufferer to many facts, such as the suffering of victims of it, and to the law.

I sort of think the initial attack was a fake put on by the israel gov. so they could make a pre-emptive strike on "hammas" or gaza "legally". As Hamas "lives" in Gaza or at least gets supply from there, the same way Al Queda "lives" in Afghanistan hahaha and Iraq.

I think the Israelis simply want to cripple all their enemies that are geographically close to them so israel can live safe. same as the bush/American strategy (fight them over there so we don't have to fight them here) and the only "sure fire" way to do that is level all their neighbouring enemies indiscriminately. though that is only a temporary solution.

Personally---I think Israel is just going to anger all their neighbours more, and the enemies of Israel are going to get desperate and use w.m.d.s' OR the invasions will be condemned by America when Obama gets into office, and Israel will be shuned and go back to there little corner angry. although I think Obama will avoid the topic as he is doing now (he had so much to say while he was running for president but now has little to say, I hope he is just taking a break for a short time...though he will have such a good excuse not to say anything, as we have a lot of domestic problems, he can just say America is not the police of the world, and were not in the financial situation to do so. if all the terrorists are focused on Israel, America is safe...ultimately democrats and republicans are on the same team, and if Israel wants to fight the war on terror for America. the democrats or republicans are going to let them

now, as I was trying to insinuate, it is actually a perfect time for Israel to attack because there is no American authority to hold them back as bush doesn't have to deal with the issue because he is leaving. also Israel is attacking a mutual "enemy" of the united states and bush doesn't care because he is a war monger.

it doesn't matter who actually does the attacks. as long as Israel can say its from gaza, or any other enemy they can be justified. no matter if its the work of a few, or all. Israel can cry terrorism and its OK by bush to attack. the more normal the attacks become, the more people will accept it.

I think I have the same theory(or strikingly similar) as "bushco" I just didn't know the conspiracy was out there already. the fact that I came to a similar conclusion independently, I think says something is not quite right and things are not as the media or should I say propaganda makes them out to be.
