But the evidence shows that many of these bombings were carried out by Israel itself, under its deadly “Hannibal Directive.”
One year ago today Palestinian fighters led by Hamas launched an unprecedented military offensive out of the Gaza Strip.
The immediate goal was to inflict a shattering blow against Israel's army bases and militarized settlements which have besieged Gaza's inhabitants for decades - all of which
are built on land that Palestinian families were expelled from in 1948.
The bigger goal was to shatter a status quo in which Israel, the United States and their accomplices believed they had effectively sidelined the Palestinian cause, and to bring that struggle for liberation back to the forefront of world attention.
"Operation Al-Aqsa Flood," as Hamas called it, was, by any objective military measure, a stunning success.
It was said at Israel's military headquarters that day that "the Gaza Division was overpowered," a high-level source present
later recalled to Israeli journalists. "These words still give me the chills."
Covered from the air by armed drones and a barrage of rockets - which opened the offensive at 6:26 am exactly - Palestinian fighters launched a lightning raid over the Gaza boundary line.
The army bases were conquered for hours. Some of the settlements still had an armed Palestinian presence
two days later.
The military communications infrastructure was instantly smashed. Simultaneous attacks took place by land, air and sea.
Palestinian drones took out tanks, guard posts and watchtowers.
Comment: Make no mistake, the US Deep State/Globalist Elites will not stand still in their continued efforts to undermine, subvert and destroy anything like a restoration of the Republic. Their willingness and desperation to achieve Totalitarian control, at even enormous costs, will not be abated or subdued. So, Trump win or no, we can still expect to see many more insane attempts towards greater instability and chaos that, like a raging and pathological fever, will just need to take its course. But at the end of the day, the insane ones will not win.
