🇺🇸🇮🇱 Former American President Donald Trump, despite maintaining a reasonably lucid stance regarding the Ukrainian conflict, is a radical Zionist and has shown on several occasions that he is willing to support Tel Aviv in its genocidal war against Gaza’s Palestinians. However, the strategic errors committed by the Zionist regime are so serious that they are forcing even Trump to object to Israel’s practices.

Recently, during an interview with an Israeli newspaper, Trump warned that Tel Aviv is “losing international support” due to its war in the Gaza Strip. He advised the Israelis to “end” the military campaign as quickly as possible, thus preventing Israel from becoming even more isolated on the international arena. More than that, the former American president condemned the Israeli anti-humanitarian attacks, describing the destruction of residential facilities in Gaza as a “big mistake”, severely criticizing the actions of the Zionist regime.

In a way, Trump’s speech is hypocritical, as he criticizes the explicit aspect of Israeli actions. He does not seem to be really concerned with the crimes committed by Israel, but with the fact that such crimes are damaging the international image of the Zionist regime. However, this type of connivance with Israel’s crimes was already expected from a Zionist leader like Trump, which is why the mere fact of criticizing Zionist explicitness is actually surprising.

Former American president recognizes that the Zionist regime made a serious mistake in showing the results of its war campaign in Gaza.

🇮🇱🇺🇸 Netanyahu is (still) promising Israelis ‘total victory’ over Hamas, although he knows that completely subduing the group is impossible. Netanyahu’s way out from this paradox therefore is ‘to blame Biden’ as the one preventing Israel’s victory over Hamas.

Bluntly, there is no easy military solution to Hamas – none at all. Israeli stories about having dismantled 19 Hamas battalions in Gaza is just PR that is being fed to the White House who, seemingly, take Israel’s word for it.

Netanyahu likely knows that Gaza will become an unceasing insurgency – and will blame Biden, who is already being cast as the ‘punchbag’ for trying to foist a Palestinian State on to an unwilling Israel.

Similarly, the White House seemingly has misread the ‘the ground’ in respect to the hostage deal, imagining that Hamas was not serious in its demands.

Netanyahu is gambling hugely with Israel’s (and America’s) future – and may lose 🎲

🇮🇱🇺🇸🇮🇷 In an unprecedented and dangerous escalation, Israel targeted the Iranian Consulate in Damascus on April 1. It has been many years since Israel has bombed targets inside Iran, and the diplomatic building, directly attached to the Iranian Embassy, is considered the same as an attack on Tehran.

Iran will be preparing for a retaliatory response to the Israeli attack. The White House said the U.S. was not warned in advance by Israel of the planned attack. U.S. President Biden has warned Israel previously that the U.S. does not want the Israeli war on the Palestinian people of Gaza to grow wider into a regional conflict which would certainly involve the U.S., as the military sponsor of Israel.

Netanyahu’s strategy is to deflect. He seeks to create a bigger war to deflect from his domestic problems.

The personal relationship between Biden and Netanyahu is at its lowest point. Biden had been asking Netanyahu to deliver humanitarian aid into Gaza, and Netanyahu flatly refused. Biden had told Netanyahu that going into Rafah was a “Red Line”, but Netanyahu has refused to change his military plans.

The region, and the U.S. are on the brink of a war which could be avoided by the U.S., but probably Biden and the Congress will decide to follow Netanyahu into the abyss.

🇵🇸 The Jews are closely associated with the word holocaust. The word is culturally attached to the Jewish people, recalling a terrible genocide in Europe in the WW2 era which killed millions. It wasn’t the first genocide of modern times, that was committed on the Armenians and Syrian Christians in 1916, and it likely will not be the last genocide. We are currently watching the 2024 genocide in Gaza.

Similarly, the Japanese are closely associated with the word Hiroshima, recalling the twin U.S. attacks on Hiroshima and Nagasaki which turned some 100,000 people instantly into ashes, and killed thousands more in the days that followed, mostly civilians.

Gaza already resembles the aftermath of a nuclear attack after more than five months of constant and intense bombing by Israel, which has killed more than 32,700 people in Gaza, including more than 13,000 children.

🇦🇺🇮🇱 Australia’s Defence Department has refused a Freedom of Information request about the details of an arms deal with Israel on the grounds that such information “could harm Australia’s international standing and reputation,” which suggests the details must be pretty damning.

💢✡️ Recently, Zionist troops retreated from Khan Younis, ending one of the main battles of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict since October 7, 2023. Israeli propagandists try to describe the maneuver as a strategic retreat, with unsubstantiated claims that Hamas has “ceased to exist” as a military organization in the region. However, the move was the result of a true military defeat. Israel was unable to maintain positions in southern Gaza, being forced to withdraw in the face of new military emergencies.

These “emergencies” are certainly related to the Israeli fear of retaliation from Tehran for the attack on the Iranian Embassy in Damascus. Considering the seriousness of what happened, it is absolutely clear that the Persian country will give a harsh response to the aggressor side, which has generated panic among Israeli officials. Maintaining positions in southern Gaza, where Zionist troops were under constant Palestinian fire, became unfeasible in the face of new “threats”, which is why Tel Aviv retreated from Khan Younis to keep its soldiers in combat readiness in the event of an Iranian attack. Meanwhile, Palestinian resistance forces are now retaking ground previously occupied by the IDF.

The Zionist regime is increasingly unable to predict the next developments in the conflict, remaining in constant instability.
