Description
This weekend’s False Flag Weekly News has been postponed till tomorrow (help make it happen via the Fundrazr). Meanwhile here is last night’s Press TV interview. -KB
Press TV: Hamas has warned that the Israeli plan to take over Gaza City will cost the regime a heavy price. Hamas said the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is sacrificing Israeli captives for personal interests. The Palestinian group, however, expressed readiness for a comprehensive deal to release all captives if the regime ends its aggression on Gaza and withdraws its forces from the territory.
Iran strongly condemned (Israel’s) decision saying the regime's occupation plan shows its intention for ethnic cleansing. and genocide in Palestine. Tehran also slammed Western countries' complicity in Israeli crimes and called for an immediate end to the regime's atrocities. Many countries including China, Belgium, Sweden, Norway, Saudi Arabia, England and Turkey have also censured the Israeli move.

And obviously, it is clear that this would risk catastrophic consequences for millions of Palestinians and could further endanger the lives of the remaining hostages in Gaza.

The Israeli cabinet has approved the contentious plan as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu pushes for comprehensive control over the entire Gaza Strip.

Kevin Barrett: Right. It's a quagmire that was designed to perpetuate Netanyahu's political career as long as possible, and keep him out of prison. And it's also a quagmire that is part of a messianic millenarian dream on the part of extremist Zionist settlers who believe that they can bring on their messiah by committing abominations in the Holy Land, that they can expand their holdings to what they believe that their god supposedly gave them—all of the land between the Nile and Euphrates rivers—from whence their Messiah will lead them to world conquest and the enslavement of all or extermination of all non-Jews.
This is the belief system of the millenarian messiani
