Eastern Coalition | Israel is a Terror State

Enduring Lies

Operation Enduring Freedom was the strange name used for the American attack on Afghanistan; it began on October 7, 2001 and is still going on in the second half of 2010, making it the longest war in American history. The attack began with a dramatic and massive airstrike using the V-shaped Lockheed F-117 Nighthawk, an American stealth attack aircraft.

I have extensively commented on the abusive language used by Jews; it has deeply influenced the American culture. Following the attack, the Hebrew media made fun of Afghanis. The idea of freedom warriors walking through harsh mountainous terrain wearing old sandals while fighting one of the most sophisticated weapons on earth was presented as hilarious. A decade later Americans are tired and seeking for a honorable way to retreat. Old sandals have won the most sophisticated technology.

Enduring Truth

Technology has little to do with winning a war. Airstrikes technology may look as awesome fireworks, especially to a public who grew up on propagandistic Hollywood’s movies, but at the end of the day, a soldier must stick his flag on the opponent’s headquarters in order to a war to be won. A Lockheed F-117 Nighthawk can’t do that. Even a Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II can’t do that.

Important Visit

During the last week of July 2010, there was an important encounter between King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia and Syrian President Bashar Assad in Beirut. It was an historic meeting for several reasons, emphasizing the importance of another recent event when the Iranian president visited Damascus in March 2010 and met with Assad and Hassan Nasrallah, Hezbollah’s Secretary General.

This is a lot of unusual diplomatic activity. Syrian relations with the Arab world since the 1963 Baathist seizure of power in Damascus are complex. Hafez al-Assad and his son Bashar Assad have ruled it since 1970, creating another level of complexity since they belong to the Shia related Alawis, and not to the majority Sunni population. A Shia-Baath government is unique in the Arab world. Yet, Syria has formidable military and intelligence capabilities, and has become one of the pillars of the Arab world. Its complex social and religious reality places it in an ideal position to be considered as an acceptable leader in this area, and that may be the reason of the recent diplomatic rush.

Eastern Coalition

The Hebrew media usually emphasizes the segmentation of the Arab world. Israel, Europe and the USA worked hard to “Divide and Rule” this part of the world in the best of the imperialistic tradition. This strategy did work for a long time because all the states in the area were new and in a process of organization. Traditionally, this part of the world – and most of Asia – was never organized in the western concept of states. The West got stuck in 1984. The failure of modern states to deliver their promises of human rights and prosperity show traditional ways are better than popularly perceived, but that’s the topic for a different article. “Divide and Rule” doesn’t work anymore in the Middle East; we are witnessing a slow but constant consolidation of a wide coalition.

Iran supports the Hezbollah. It is systematically constructing its civil and military infrastructure in Southern Lebanon. Hezbollah won an important battle against Israel in 2006 – known in Hebrew as the Second Lebanese War - and now it is even stronger. Fifty thousand missiles of all kinds are aimed at Israel from the Hezbollah controlled areas; most of these missiles have been provided by Syria. Despite this overwhelming strength, the IDF looks at the situation as a tie-up, since the Hezbollah lacks effective anti-aircraft missiles. Thus, its missile launching installations can be easily targeted.

As of now, Israel talks about blocking “Tie-Up Breaking” weapons – namely, effective anti-aircraft defenses. One of the blocking techniques is putting indirect economic and political pressure on Syria. Yet, the last appears to successfully being creating an important coalition. Iran and Syria will have an important role in the creation of the new Iraqi government. After the American retreat from Iraq, Iran would have a direct ground path to Southern Lebanon and Israel. This new reality may create a secure enough environment to pass the “Tie-Up Breaking” weapons to their final destination. A quiet and surprising pact with Saudi Arabia may be the last step in the consolidation of a wide coalition against Western colonialism.

War

How could all this evolve? If such a coalition is successfully constructed, the scenario outlined in the Defeating Israel articles may become true. Mystified Israeli generals will look at their high-tech screens and see their defeat. Surprised pilots will look through their helmet-mounted display systems at their crush. And then, at their last moment they’ll remember another truth: you can’t win a war if the local population doesn’t support you. Racist Israel would learn the price of discrimination and war crimes against humanity.
