Western mass media's propaganda is that Israel scored a victory over the Palestinians. If truth be told, it was a humiliating defeat for Zionist Israel and the coward Netanyahu.

Prior to the ceasefire, Netanyahu once again flaunted his bravado by threatening to launch an all out invasion of Gaza, but he could not do so for the simple reason that the Palestinians' counter-offensive would have engulf the entire Israel - no settlements, towns and cities would be spared.

Though Israel may have air superiority, the Palestinians' missile offensive took the Israelis by surprise and caught them with their pants down. They were shitting big time. It was the turn of the Palestinians to launch their version of the "shock and awe" campaign. Uncle Sam and President Obama almost had a heart attack!

The whole of Israel was terrorised by the missile offensive. It struck fear in the very heart of Israel when rockets landed in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem. The last time Israel suffered such fear was when Saddam Hussein launched scud missiles in the 1991 Gulf War. Who would have thought that the Palestinians would be able to reprise such a military feat. Netanyahu and all his generals and the noecons in US, UK, France and NATO is shitting and wetting in their pants. This is because if Palestinians can mount such an offensive, what more Hezbullah and Iran. This is the dreaded nightmare.

This is an example of the law of unintended consequences in full play when the stupid and cowardly Netanyahu launch air-strikes against Gaza to further his domestic political ambitions. He has paid a heavy price, regardless whether he wins the elections in January 2024. Israel is a dud!  

The following news report is most telling,

"Gaza militants fired more than 1,500 rockets back at Israel, whose vaunted Iron Dome anti-missile system intercepted more than 420 of them".

Source: The Telegraph, UK

The world can discount the propaganda that Israel intercepted 420 missiles. Even if we concede to this spurious allegation, the remaining two-thirds got through to ALL THE TARGETS IN ISRAEL!

Many may dispute the veracity of the capabilities of the Palestinians. There is one undeniable fact - the Americans were so scared that they sent three war ships to evacuate Americans in Israel. Common sense will tell you that if the rocket offensive by the Palestinians was ineffective, there woiuld be no necessity for such evacuation efforts by the US Navy to save their citizens in Israel. 

We will quote in extenso the another news report which corroborates my analysis:

US sends warships to Gaza to evacuate Americans

Washington: As tension escalates in West Asia, the US has dispatched three warships to the region to be on standby in the event of a need, even as President Barack Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton spoke to world leaders in efforts to defuse the crisis.

Quoting unnamed Defense Department officials, the CNN said these three US Navy amphibious warships would be used only for the purpose of evacuation of Americans in the region in the case of escalation of the conflict.

The warships were not for any combat role they specified.

"This is due diligence. It is better to be prepared should there be a need," an official was quoted as saying.

The ships are USS Iwo Jima, the USS New York and the USS Gunston Hall. The crisis continued to divert the attention of Obama, who is currently on a South East Asia visit.

Netanyahu has by his reckless actions exposed the weakness of Israel and the myth of the invincibility of the much vaunted Iron Dome Anti-Missile system. It can't even intercept missiles made in Palestine, what more advance missiles from Hezbullah and Iran.

And that is why, Netanyahu agreed to a ceasefire. He had no choice as he had to prevent further and more embarrassing exposure of the fragility of the Israeli military - the Zionist Emperor has no clothes. It is stark naked, defenceless against the revolutionary missiles of the Palestinians!

This is the ultimate nightmare for the war criminals.

Further adventurism by Netanyahu and Zionist Israel will only hasten the total collapse of Israel. And as warned by President Ahmadinejad, Israel will be wiped-off from the map in due course. Israel will reaped what they have sowed for over 50 years.

Soon, very soon, Israelis will be packing their bags and running by any means to seek refuge in far flung countries and there is no guarantee that they will be received warmly, definitely not by the Europeans who by their tacit agreement to the establishment of the zionist state in 1948, have washed their hands to the "Jewish problem".

Netanyahu, you have done the world a big favour. Please, I beg you to continue your stupid ways for no one within Israel can do a better job of hastening the demise of Israel than you!  Amen.
