Imagine standing with Israel because a few goat herders 2500 years ago wrote about how god spoke to them, called them his chosen people and commanded them to commit genocide. And then having the stones to put letters after your name.

The problem here is the first-strike dilemma both sides face. Israel has only a limited amount of nuclear weapons, with only a portion of them available for operation on relatively short notice, located in a limited number of places. Iran, with its strike at US airbases in Iraq, has shown that it can deliver big missiles with pinpoint accuracy. There's no reason to assume that Hezbollah in turn lacks such capacity for at least part of its arsenal.

So both Iran and Hezbollah, and perhaps others in the region too, have the capability for a 'decapitation' first-strike against Israel to take those out. Or at least most of them. This would greatly reduce Israel's strike-back capability, possibly to 'acceptable' levels. But it would force Israel to strike back with whatever nukes are left. So while such an Iranian/Hezbollah strike will greatly reduce the possible collateral damage when this goes nuclear, it will also almost certainly guarantee that it will go nuclear. Not an easy call to make. Especially when it is uncertain how the US will react.

Israel in turn, is also very much aware of this calculation, which gives it a motive ('use it or lose it') to go nuclear very early on in any conflict with Iran or Hezbollah, and especially both at once. In fact, from this perspective, it would give them reason to start such a conflict by going nuclear. However, that might well lead to the end of Israel itself. So not an easy call to make either.

Right now, these are the kinds of deliberations and calculations taking place in both camps. Now add to that the assumption that one or both sides may be driven by religious fanatics out to fulfil divine prophecy and things start to look pretty bleak rather fast.

That is your calculation, and pretty much mine too. But is it the one made in Tel Aviv and Washington DC? Or for that matter, what calculation do the various players think the OTHER side is making?

Events like this usually escalate because of what one side, or both, fears the other side might be about to do. It's the fear of the other side being either irrational or simply mistaken about how the calculation works out. And both sides being rational agents often doesn't help either.

If I know that you will act rational, and you know that I am rational, then it's highly likely that at some point I can achieve a crucial advantage by surprising you by acting irrational for once and do something completely unexpected. But I also know that you could pull the same trick on me. So even when both sides are rational, it is still very dangerous for both parties to assume that that means the other side will always act rational! This is why a complete breakdown in communications between two sides is always so dangerous.

And as to the fallout, that's not really an issue. Both Hiroshima and Nagasaki never stopped being cities. The a-bombs didn't change that. Long-term health effects have turned out to be much, much smaller than anticipated. For example, increases in cancer compared to other regions in Japan are barely noticeable. Same for the after-effects of Chernobyl. They turned out to be far more limited than expected.

Plus those bombs dropped on Japan were first generation nukes which were relatively 'dirty'. Modern ones are much 'cleaner', unless deliberately designed not to be, and it's safe to assume that Israel will likely use relatively 'clean' nukes close to home.

It sounds like mister Palmer is using reversed logic. He assumes that nuclear weapons are highly radioactive and he assumes that radiation causes lots of cancer and he assumes that human bodies are very vulnerable to radiation. He then concludes that because there is no increase in cancers that therefore the bombs dropped couldn't have been nuclear. It is a lot more likely though that one or more of his assumptions was wrong, and there is in fact compelling evidence that all three are at least exaggerated, if not wrong entirely.

There have been many above-ground nuclear explosions. Here's a map of the testing ground near Las Vegas where about 100 of them were detonated above ground, and many more below it:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nevada_Test_Site#/media/File:Wfm_area51_map_en.png

While it is a mere 100 miles from the city, notice the many other towns much closer, not to mention all the air force bases right next to the test site, including are 51!

While there may have been some increases in health issues in the wider area, all the way to Utah, during the era of the tests this has never come close to reaching a 'triggering' threshold, and nowadays most people, including those living there, either don't know about the tests, are have pretty much forgotten about them. That's largely because they haven't had much of a lasting legacy outside of the direct explosion zone. And as we have seen in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, even the explosion zone itself can remain habitable without much risks to people's health.

Brilliant as always.

Important to note that Hezbollah & Hamas have also been using religious references in this war, that are arguably more instructive than the deranged evangelical/zionist ramblings of Israel & DC.

In particular there's a Hezbollah video that seems to have been overlooked.

On 8/9 October, literally just a day after Hamas's 'Al Aqsa Flood' operation started, Hezbollah released a video.

At the end of the video, Hezbollah made a specific reference to Genesis 7:17.

Genesis 7:17 specifically refers to Noah's Ark, and God's flood lasting '40 days'.

Dates matter to Hamas and Hezbollah. For example, it seems that October 7 was chosen by Hamas to start their operation to coincide with the start of the Yom Kippur War.

But consider this - '40 days' from October 7 takes us to November 15. Why might November 15 be important in this context?

Because November 15 is the Palestinian 'Day of Independence' (see below).

It also seems to be more than coincidental that the same Hezbollah video also showed their elite division, Radwan, in action. Radwan is specifically tasked with infiltrating Israel.

Hezbollah's message / threat in the video seems clear, at least to me. Hezbollah has stated very clearly that forced displacement of Gazans and/or a land invasion of Gaza by the IDF are 'red lines' for them, that may trigger their entry into the war (source below). These red lines have both been crossed.

My conclusion: the timing of the Hezbollah video with the start of Hamas 'Al Aqsa Flood' seems preplanned. Specific reference to biblical events in the Hezbollah video referring to periods of time mentioned in the Bible seem to indicate a degree of coordination between the 2 groups, that may well involve Hezbollah's entry into the war on or about Noveber 15, 2023, which is the Palestinian Day of Independence.

Why do I think this? As I said at the start, Hezbollah themselves seem to have already told us.

They lived 'in peace' relatively speaking, because the Muslims were guaranteed supremacy in law and the non-muslims had submitted to dhimmi status and accepted all the restrictions that came with it.

blah, your "provided the non-muslims remained second class citizens" is total hasbara BS.

Jews in Baghdad were wealthy and didn't want to trade their comfort and their busineses for the poor unpaved streets of Israel. So ... in the early 1950's a series of false-flag bombings done by Zionists panicked the Iraqi Jews into fleeing to Israel. This was documented by one of those Baghdadi Jews who was only 18 or 19 at the time, and who had been very Zionist - until he discovered the racism of Ashkenazi Jews in Israel. He wrote a book about it. I can't remember the guy's name, but it starts with an "O". Can anyone help out here ?

Are you pretending they weren't second class citizens? For literally centuries following the Islamic conquest? It's a historical fact, it's not arguable. Dhimmitude was only abolished in the Ottoman Empire in 1856 when the Europeans forced them to do it when they lost the Crimean war. Religious supremacism is ok when it's Islam doing it?

It was a time of class societies. At that same time serfs in Europe were in a state of submission.

Expand full comment

This wasn't a class system. It was an explicitly religious supremacist system imposed by the conquering Islamic rulers on the natives. It was abolished in the Ottoman Empire in 1856. Not during the middle ages... And non muslims remain second class citizens in most Islamic states to this day. Learn about the laws on freedom of religion in places like Jordan, or Qatar etc.

Expand full comment

That wasn’t your argument. You said Jews were second class citizen in Bagdad. When you got refuted, you changed the goal post.

Have other religious minorities been considered 2nd class citizens in the past? Possibly, but that goes against Islamic teachings. This tax that you think is oppressive is also payed by Muslims, but it’s in the form of charity.

Expand full comment

Not sure who you're responding to but the dhimmi system was explicitly and clearly a form of second class citizenship. It wasn't remotely specific to Jews, all non-muslims were subject to it. Jizya is protection money, tribute paid to the conquering army, as in every empire. No it doesn't go against Islamic teachings, stop lying. Non-muslims are second class citizens today in many Islamic states including Qatar, Saudi and Jordan. Restrictions on their freedom of religion are simply toned down from the past but remain in place.

"There are a lot of examples where arabs celebrate the actual death of jews"

Cheered the death of ISRAELIS, not Jews per se. And a lot of them were pretty vicious in how they cheered the deaths of Israelis, I'll admit it. And it's not just Arabs who cheer for that stuff. I knew a Pakistani woman in Kuwait and she was like that. She was pretty nasty antisemite too. That's not uncommon at all.

On the other hand, nobody cares about Diaspora Jews. I've never heard an Arab cheer the death of a Diaspora Jew.

I mean the actual phrase, "Death to Israel" as coined by Iran just meant get rid of the Israeli state. You can research Khomeini and see that that this what he meant.

And the only thing Iran has been calling for is a plebiscite on the future of the region with all Israelis and Palestinians participating in it. They assume that after that, the specific Israeli apartheid state will be gone.

Iran has never said "Kill all the Jews on Earth or in Israel." There are 7,000 Jews in Iran. How about if they start with them?

Not much research is needed to realise that Israel is an ethnic-supremacist regime that controls territory in Palestine. Removing an ethnic-supremacist regime doesn't mean killing everyone it has issued papers to, or who live under it and who belong to the favoured ethnic group.

It's not absence of research that makes people say (or, more usually, scream) otherwise. It's being liars who support the said regime. Some of them probably lie so much that they believe their own lies. But that's the wrong way of thinking of them, because "truth" doesn't feature as a desired feature of what they say to the "unchosen" - or of what they say to rally their own side, for that matter. They "think" and say whatever works for the tribe.

All decent humanitarian people wish for the elimination of Israel.

Are some of Israel's supporters so crazy as to believe their own lies? Probably, yes. But we should let that be their problem, not ours.

Those who violently support an ethnic-supremacist regime against those who want to remove it have got it coming to them. They can at any point surrender or get some morals if they wish. Nobody is stopping them. Indeed at least a few of them will. Good for them. I can't honestly say I'll call them heroes, but there you go.

Why say "the Smith regime" rather than Rhodesia?

I don't understand why you say the Zionist occupation of Palestine is not Israel.

Israel is much worse than apartheid, which was a word that should never have been used by the opponents of white supremacy in South Africa anyway, because it means "separate development". You only have to say "separate development" to realise that this is obviously not what white supremacy was about in South Africa, or what any ethnic supremacy has been about anywhere.

Pass laws, bantustans, segregation of areas by ethnicity - yes, these all existed under white supremacy in South Africa and they are imposed by Israel in Palestine. But the South African regime didn't carry out murder on anything like the Israeli scale, using tanks and artillery and an airforce against either the bantustans or the black areas of cities. This is what makes Israel quantitatively and qualitatively much worse than South African white supremacy. A better comparison would be Nazi Germany.

Zionism has ALWAYS been about settlement and Judaisation and removals and expulsions, and the use of terrorism to assist with these. There has never been any intention of "stopping at this point". A most glaring illustration of this is settlement in the West Bank which has always been state-supported. Or to take another example, there was no intention of stopping with the original Nakba.

Israel is an ethnic-supremacist Nazi-style entity. It was always tendentially and ideologically genocidalist and now we are seeing it become actually genocidalist. Israel must be destroyed, just as the Confederacy was destroyed, etc.

The opponents of Israel aren't like its supporters. It's the regime's supporters who are the genocidalists. Is there anything else I need to explain?

"He who dares not offend, dares not tell the truth." - Voltaire (as you can read on every post at voltairenet.org)

One of the most serious errors of the anti-war movement was moral cowardice and a belief that the message had to be trimmed down to "what people would accept." Thus we ended up not getting our message out and in the long run, we failed.

You must respect the intelligence and moral fiber of the people you are talking with. Most of the time, the people deserve contempt for refusing to listen and to be quickly offended. However, a significant minority of of people will get the message and accept the moral responsibility. It's always like that.

You write as if something exists that can seriously be called Pax Americana.

I guess this term might have been applied sensibly after 1945 in a very few countries, such as Italy, and possibly at a pinch France, but that's about it.

The notion that US imperial influence over the compradore powers in NATO has maintained peace in those countries is untrue.

It's easy to point to Greece, Spain, Norway, Germany, Britain, and Turkey. In none of these countries did kissing the US butt prevent war.

Ditto for other countries "allied" with the US such as Japan, Saudi, and Colombia.

Pax American, if that's the phrase you wish to use, provided for the low hostilities rebuilding of the world at great expense to itself.

Did it change anything? Probably for those who directly benefited at the time, but many times the dog bites the hand that feeds it.

The other unrecognized benefit was the 'fortunes' not spent while the U.S. guaranteed the safety of the ravaged nations, and the trillions spent on policing the oceans from those whom would take advantage.

Alas, the U.S. lost its way along the path and it became a pursuit of power and greed, while those they had helped became accustomed to sloth and entitlement.

Pax Americana is term to indicate where we are at history, it is marked by the Bretton Woods agreement where Pax Britannica end. The successor is Pax Americana up to 3 January 2020 by the death of Gen. Soleimani ordered by Trump, he literally ends Pax Americana. Now about to come is Pax Judaica since we have witnessed how great and to what degree the influence of Israeli Lobbyist inside US government, it's on but may still be far away into the future.

The Hezbos and Hamassholes have used religious imagery from the get go and have (and continue) to advocate for the genocidal elimination of Israel. There's a point where maybe we should take them at their word. You don't negotiate with people like that, not if you're smart.

The six-pointed star is secular, then?

Can you communicate in environments in which goyim are present without lying? Elimination of Israel doesn't mean killing all those who have an identity called Jewish that tracks back to their ancestors following a genocidal religion, any more than the elimination of the Confederacy or the Nazi German regime meant murdering all US southerners or all Germans.

If you were to imagine yourself as a goy, YOU might imagine yourself supposing that all the Jews should be killed.

(That would mainly be because your identity appears to be based on extreme ethnic hatred that essentially denies that non-chosen ones are human beings, which, as you probably know, is what the Jewish religion teaches. But those who REJECT such an obscenely insane idea usually recognise that ALL human beings are human beings, whatever ideas they might hold, or culture they might have, or religion they might follow.)

What you might imagine (and this is strongly suggested by how you put the word "genocidal" near the phrase "elimination of Israel") doesn't mean that all those among the goyim who really do oppose Jewish supremacism think anything like that.

But who cares what the truth is, eh?

Will you deny that you would be willing to murder all the goyim in the world if it were necessary to secure the continued existence of the ethnic-supremacist regime called Israel?

It's my understanding that Palestinian Muslims are (similar to the Kurds) regarded by more conservative ones to be slacker Muslims, hardly ideal Al Qaeda candidates.

The opposition to Israel in the 60's-70's was mainly leftist/secular/nationalistic.

Israel had the bright idea of fostering Islamacist competition and we end up the likes of Hamas.

Which somewhat parallels what the French commentator pointed out: that Zionism has morphed from secular to 'messianic, biblical' - more than a few of the most radical Zionists fighting the Brits and Arabs were actual veterans of the Bolshevik Revolution (in which Jews were heavily represented).

And if we're supposed to be rejecting Hamas supporters maybe we should start with Team Bibi - the Israeli wack-job right have been supporting Hamas' control of Gaza for years. This with the aim of preventing all the occupied territories from coming under authority of the Palestine Authority - which could lead to the nightmare scenario of having to conclude a real peace treaty.

Yet they've been able to sell the rubes on the proposition that the Palestinians are the ones rejecting negotiation...

Consider this from 2019:

These books of the Bible that Netanyahu is quoting was commissioned by the Ptolemaic Dynasty to further the legacy of Alexander the Great and his conquests, massacres, and genocides. These values in the Pentateuch and historical books, which includes institutionalized slavery as the cornerstone of a debt based society, and the celebration of wars of conquest, were contradicted by the Prophets and Jesus who valued all human beings as children of God. If we can't function at a higher level than the tyrannical, fratricidal, and genocidal Ptolemaic Dynasty, we have learned nothing as a species for 2500 years of wars. Apparently Israel is the West's battering ram to subdue non-Caucasian races, especially Muslims, Chinese, Russians, Africans, and Latinos. By the way, Trumps close ties with Netanyahu don't looks so attractive anymore. I won't vote for him or Biden.

Dear Simplicius, I have studied and delighted in your work from the moment I encountered it. So I wonder why you deleted my comment regarding the dangers of mandatory vaccinations and the advocates thereof.

So why no comment?

Why just the deletion?

If America got European industry where would they get the educated, responsible and disciplined workforce? That theory has so many holes I wouldn't know where to start.

And America doesn't have enough oil. Much of theirs is natural gas liquids that doesn't have high energy density and can't be used for much other than making plastics and chemicals. That's why heavy oil from Canada or Venezuela is so important. They feed their refineries with the resultant blends.

Access to oil and gas and mineral resources is what it's all about. Great Britain and the US have controlled the world since 1813 by controlling access to oil. The reason we aren't all using molten salt thorium reactors right now was likely so America could accuse anyone seeking nuclear energy of trying to develop nuclear weapons.

Everybody is underestimating the moral bankruptcy and ruthlessness of all involved. Israel just arranged for the murder or kidnapping of thousands of their own citizens, supposedly to use as an excuse to kill all Palestinians. I think they have grander plans.

For example, America has had open borders for years and we can see footage of these young middle eastern and African men coming across by the thousands. They treat them far better than their own citizens. Then this Israel thing happens and American and Israeli politicians and pundits enthusiastically call for the genocide of the Gazans. Any bets this is about provoking terrorist attacks inside western countries they can use to bring in digital IDs, CBDCs and totalitarian security controls? Any bets they're all in this together.

https://www.mintpressnews.com/untold-story-christian-zionists-power-united-states-israel/260532/

As was explored in previous installments of this series, these Christian Zionists, much like religious Zionist extremists in Israel, believe that the Al Aqsa mosque and the Dome of the Rock must be replaced with a Third Jewish Temple in order to usher in the end times.

These two groups of different faiths, since the 19th century, have repeatedly formed an opportunistic alliance in order to ensure the fulfillment of their respective prophecies, despite the fact that members of the other faith are rarely if ever on the same page in their interpretations of what occurs after the temple’s construction.

This alliance, based on a mutual obsession with hastening the coming of the Apocalypse, continues to this day and now, more than at any other time in history, these groups have reached the heights of power in both Israel and the United States. Parts I and II of this exclusive series explored how this branch of religious Zionism has come to dominate the current right-wing government of Israel and has led Israel’s current government to take definitive steps towards the destruction of the Al Aqsa mosque and the imminent construction of a Third Temple.

Respect your rights to your beliefs, but if you think the Bible is 'the' word of God you might look into the history of how what is considered the Bible now came to be.

For one thing, there are numerous problems with translation from Greek, Aramaic and Hebrew. There's also the historical fact that a committee of fallible and partisan humans decided what should be included or excluded.

Small differences are not necessarily minor ones. For example, most everybody is familiar with 'Render unto Caesar what is Caesar's and to God what is God's'. right?

But in one of the Gnostic Gospels only rediscovered post WWII (at Nag Hammadi, Egypt) the passage goes 'Render unto Caesar what is Caesar's, to God what is God's and to me what is mine.'

Which is correct? What does it mean? You, or anybody that wants to can try and work it out, but the point is they are quite different, and just because one is the current standard version doesn't necessarily mean it's *the* right one.

I'm not an authority. Some of the rejected material was declared heretical and destroyed. I don't know to what extent they covered the life of Jesus. I have seen contentions that Jesus marrying and having children was suppressed - there were some European families that claimed descent from Jesus IIRC.

There were a few of the so-called Gnostic Gospels that survived - the Nag Hammadi manuscripts found in 1945 were buried in clay jars, maybe to avoid destruction and included both previously unknown texts and alternate versions of ones in the Bible.

In the newly discovered Gospel of Thomas, some things are near identical to current Bible, some seem to contradict or depart from it. A lot just confusing, to me, anyway...

Response to Simplicius' "World Plummets into Eschatological Frenzy: Unraveling the Implications"

This is what you get when monkey-ass human beings invoke religion and worse, global religions. If the world was still pagan, this would likely not be happening. The invention of monolithic, monotheistic religions will be marked by aliens as the "Doom of the human species". What did the philosopher say: "Mankind will only be free when the last king is strangled with the guts of the last priest."

"behind-the-scenes cuddling with Israeli leadership over lucrative gas lines"

Well, if Turkey invades Israel as part of a "get rid of Israel" push by the Muslim world, well, the gas problem gets resolved in Erdogan's favor, doesn't it? He didn't hesitate pushing into Syria over the Kurdish issue and everyone presumed that in reality he intended to seize Syrian territory with the oil, right? So yeah, I can see Erdogan pushing this right to a full-scale invasion of Israel. He thinks, "Why not?" And he's right. He can't lose - unless Israel nukes Istanbul.

See, people who think like "civilians" - i.e., believers in the concept of the state - just don't get how rulers of states think. As an anarchist, I understand state rulers better than most people.

" I slightly favor the outcome of the Western powers refraining from pulling the trigger on account of the strong internal opposition and fraying support,"

Wrong. You forget who's running things in Washington: the neocons and the Bible freaks you just spent half the article discussing. So how do you figure a handful of "dissenters" with no power are going to dissuade the freakshow from going all in? And what happens when Netanyahu invades Gaza and Hezbollah proceeds to to demolish half of Israel? You really believe the US Congress is NOT going to authorize the application of the AUMF - which they're already talking about in regards to Iran's alleged attacks on US troops in the region?
