Diametrically Opposed Opinions

 

TWO DIAMETRICALLY OPPOSED OPINIONS
By Jim “Gymbeaux” Brown, November 15, 2024

Can two diametrically opposed opinions be correct at the same time?  As a disclosure of my  concerns, let me explain.  Do you support Israel?  Two key words are contained in this very short question.  “Support” and “Israel.” 

Look at the word “support.”  Do you support your family members?  Absolutely you do but what if one or more of them do something very wrong?  Do you still support them?  For most people the answer is, of course I do!  But for other family members, maybe no to so much.  What if that one thing done wrong involved the murder of someone, would you still support them?  Hopefully you are now thinking there is a difference between “supporting” someone and “loving” someone.  I would find it extremely difficult if not impossible to “support” one of my family members who committed murder.  I seriously question those people we see on television after a murder takes place and the mother and/or father says they still support their son or daughter.  I could not do that!  I would still love them, after all, they are family and family matters.  But support what they had done?  NO WAY unless it was done in self-defense!

Do I support Israel?  Absolutely, but I qualify that support to specifically THE PEOPLE of Israel AND NOT the Israeli government.  Did Israel have a right to defend itself from the attack conducted on 10/7?  Absolutely, BUT that support is PROVIDED the attack was as it was said to have occurred.  Therein lies my total distrust of the Israeli government.  There are several FACTS (LOOK THEM UP YOURSELF!) about 10/7 that cannot be disputed nor have the questions EVER been even asked, let alone answered, at least to my knowledge.

1.      Why were the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) removed from the very area where the attack took place PRIOR TO THE ATTACK?

2.      Why didn’t the very sophisticated electronic surveillance system that Israel deploys separating Israel from Palestine, that supposedly can pick up a bird landing on the wall, fail to pick up the attack as it was happening?

3.      Why did it take one of the best military forces (their words) in the world, take SEVEN HOURS to respond to the 10/7 attack?

For as long as those three questions remain unanswered, I CANNOT SUPPORT THE ISRAELI GOVERNMENT because from an outsider’s perspective, the Israeli Government was in on the attack. 

If you follow history, it would not be the first time something like this has happened.  None other than Hitler himself, had Germans dress like members of the Polish Army and they attacked one of their own (Germany’s) communication stations.  This gave Hitler the “supposed authority” to invade Poland and invade he did and everyone should be aware of the result of that invasion.  10/7 gave Benjamin “Bebe” Netanyahu, the “supposed authority” to attack Palestine (more specifically Gaza) and attack he has been doing (ongoing).  Not ONLY Gaza, the attack has spread to other countries surrounding Israel all under the “supposedly authority” of 10/7 and the public announcements that HAMAS, the enemy, was hiding beneath civilian targets and behind civilians themselves.  To this end, in the eyes of the Israeli government, there are no collateral deaths involved in their attacks; everyone is a suspected terrorist.

The conclusion I have drawn is that the Israeli government was in on 10/7 and it has gotten exactly what Bebe and his administration have wanted for as long as I can remember, an Israel “from the river to the sea.”  It is long past time to “confront Israel’s version of “from the river to the sea!”    https://www.thenation.com/article/world/its-time-to-confront-israels-version-of-from-the-river-to-the-sea/  Again, read it and judge for yourself what is true and what is propaganda!

For the record, the official motto of the Israeli Mossad organization is “By Way Of Deception, Thou Shalt Do War!” https://www.quora.com/Why-is-the-official-motto-of-Israeli-Mossad-By-way-of-deception-thou-shalt-do-war  Is 10/7 an example of that; just asking the obvious question!

In your mind, how many Palestinians deaths would be sufficient to satisfy an “eye for an eye” response to 10/7?  My curiosity overwhelms me at the number of reported deaths and wounded knowing full well that the numbers listed publicly pale by comparison to the REAL numbers of dead and wounded.  On YOUR ledger sheet, how many deaths would satisfy the response to 10/7, an inquiring mind would like to know.  By the way, we rarely hear of the number of dead and wounded on the Palestinian side of this war but we definitely hear when a “handful” of Israeli Defense Forces are killed and that number is so low because Israel is NOT fighting a country with a standing army otherwise the death count on the Israeli side would be much higher.

What does the Internet report as of November 2024?  Let’s see:  “As of 5 November 2024, over 45,000 people (43,391 Palestinian and 1,706 Israeli) have been reported killed in the Israel–Hamas war, including 134–146 journalists and media workers, 120 academics, and over 224 humanitarian aid workers, including 179 employees of UNRWA. In Nov 2024, the UN published its analysis covering only victims verified from at least three independent sources over 6 months span between Nov 2023 and April 2024 found that 70% of Palestinian deaths in Gaza are women and children.”  The source for this information is found at:  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casualties_of_the_Israel%E2%80%93Hamas_war  That is not even close to being an eye-for-an-eye response by Israel.  The above count indicates 1,706 Israeli deaths and although it does not say so, my best guess is that this number includes those lost on 10/7 and of course, I could be wrong. 

Wait…you say no responsible government would ever do that?  Seriously?  As stated, Hitler definitely did.  I can only imagine that throughout time, that it has happened more times than many of us will ever know.  Therefore, I would like to direct your attention to what Israel did to an American U. S. Navy Vessel, the USS LIBERTY.  This was NOT an accident.  It was NOT provoked!  Israel took it upon themselves to attack the USS LIBERTY during Israel’s 6-Day War, with the implied intention of sinking it with all hands onboard.  It did kill 34 and wound another 172 U. S. NAVY PERSONNEL.  My guess is that you have never heard of this before; most Americans have not.  Why do you suppose that is?  Could it be that (1) no one would ever believe it?  (2) Israel would never do such a thing?  (3) The story is false?  (4) Our government would never cover up such an atrocity conducted by one of America’s allies?  (5) Israel would never lie about such an incident.  Don’t believe me, just watch the following video AND THEN decide for yourself what is true and what is not true!  My answers to the following questions are:

1. No one knows whether people would believe it or not.  Do you believe what you just read?
2. Yes, Israel did in fact attack the USS LIBERTY!  IT IS A MATTER OF RECORD!
3. No, the story is TRUE
4. Yes, our government has lied to Americans for DECADES
5. Yes, Israel lied for years until the truth leaked out as it almost always does

Don’t tell me that Israel is beyond attacking itself to achieve a desired outcome!  They are not beyond such a thing as proven by its own Mossad motto, By Way Of Deception, Thou Shalt Do War!

Better question is this: is our own government AND news media lying to us and/or our allies to cover up what it does and does not do?  Can you say JFK/RFK/MLK Murders, Vietnam,  Weapons of Mass Destruction, 9/11, COVID, or the safety of vaccines?  Seriously, you don’t think our government would ever lie to us?  If so, you have officially been:

BRAINWASHED!

FINAL NOTE:  To all the people who have called me crazy and even anti-American or anti-Israel and ask me, “How can you even think such things about Israel”, I ask them,

“How can you not?”
