WORLD WAR 3 – NOT YET!

Since publishing this post there have been two new developments. The US is deploying two more aircraft carrier groups to the region and the western media have been headlining that Iran can now produce nuclear weapons. This is reminiscent of the headlines prior to the Iraq War when it was claimed that Saddam Hussein had ‘weapons of mass destruction’. Clearly, in order to prevent the Middle East representing a second front in the war with China, the USA may be contemplating not only destroying Hamas and Hezbollah but bombing Iran itself. Should they do so, the internationalization of the conflict cannot be ruled out.

In addition as the revulsion against Zionism spreads, the Zionist narrative describing the events of October 7th continues to unravel. This time it concerns the reckless and panicked firing by Israeli gunships at the site of the festival and the kibbutzim adjacent to Gaza, under instruction to end the incursion as quickly as possible and by all means necessary. The Israeli government, fearful of what is being revealed, is now branding reporters investigating these events or present at the events as “terrorists” in order to silence them.
