Against All Enemies
The Cost of Israel’s Military Misadventures

1,817 words

When Israel resorts to extreme violence against its neighbors, the fallout is felt throughout the world, especially in the United States and the wider West. Iran, for instance, will activate its terror networks in Europe. We have already seen domestic unrest as rival groups clash in major cities throughout the civilized world, the surveillance state gains more power, and treasuries are drained. Money that would be better spent helping victims of domestic natural disasters in the United States, for example, is diverted to Israel, which already receives a veritable mountain of financial and military support from the dying superpower.

John Mearsheimer has argued that Israel has lost escalation dominance in the region. Despite punishing airstrikes in southern Lebanon and decapitation strikes against Hezbollah’s leadership, Hezbollah is still able to hit back at Israel. Furthermore, Israel’s stated goals of eliminating Hamas in Gaza and repatriating hostages that were taken on October 7, 2023, have not been achieved. Their operations in Gaza have not ended and they have stirred up a hornet’s nest against a determined and well dug-in force in Lebanon’s south.

As I noted in a previous piece about the conflict:

As John Mearsheimer pointed out in his lecture on the conflict that was hosted by Australia’s Centre for Independent Studies, the Israelis no longer have “escalation dominance.” Escalation dominance “refers to a nation’s ability to control and dictate the pace and intensity of a conflict . . .” Their regional rivals can now strike back effectively. Mearsheimer pointed out that Israel no longer has that advantage given that other regional actors, including Hamas, Hezbollah, and even the Houthis, can now use new technologies such as drones and missiles to strike targets in Israel.

Although Israel is trying to project an image of strength, it is in dire straits and will do all in its power to goad America into an all-out war in the region. In a battle of wills between the United States and Israel, unfortunately the latter would win. Netanyahu would get his way because of the power of the Israel lobby. The Jewish state is in a headlong rush to foment war with Iran and all of its other regional enemies before the results of the American election can alter the current power dynamic. Despite widespread popular outcry, the hostile Jewish elite and the lobby does what it wants. The Neocon hawks want the might of the American military to deal with Iran and they want US taxpayers to foot the bill.

Lebanon is under attack. On Sunday October 20th, for example, at least ten explosions pummelled Beirut; Israeli officials stated they are targeting Hezbollah’s financial network. Hundreds of residents have fled their homes as a result. The Israeli military further stated that it would strike a “large number of targets” in Beirut.

Syria has been bombed and Iran is now in the crosshairs more acutely than ever. It has been a goal of the Israel lobby to destroy Iran. Everyone who is not Jewish is now on notice in the region.

Israel is poised to strike a blow at the heart of Iran’s nuclear program at any time. Two classified documents were leaked and posted on Telegram that outline Israel’s plans to strike Iran. According to Associated Press (AP), the papers attributed to the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency and the National Security Agency state that “Israel was still moving military assets in place to conduct a military strike in response to Iran’s blistering ballistic missile attack on Oct. 1.” If Israel follows through on a retaliatory strike, it could have dire consequences for the entire region and foment a global conflagration. Moreover, on Thursday Oct 17, Russia issued a public warning to Israel saying that there would be consequences if the Jewish state attacked Iranian nuclear facilities.

Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar has been killed. A Telegram channel, Live Leak Private, posted photographs of his mangled body amid the rubble of Rafah, in southern Gaza. Time Magazine previewed the cover of its forthcoming print issue, which displays Sinwar’s likeness semi-obliterated by two crossed lines. As the leader of Hamas, Sinwar was a marked man since the October 7 attacks. Daniel Hagari, spokesman for the IDF, had this to say about the assassination: “Killing Sinwar is the result of a year of operational and intelligence efforts to bring him and other Hamas leaders to justice. Sinwar has been eliminated, but our mission is not over.” Unfortunately for the region, Israel will not end its genocidal rampage just because he is dead.

Jews as a group are compelled to wage a war of genocide against all of their real or perceived enemies. As Kevin MacDonald has pointed out, Bill Kristol, the Jewish Neoconservative who has never met a war he didn’t like, has admonished white Americans for their support of Donald Trump and sees white males in particular as the enemy. In a typical act of attempted crypsis, Kristol took to X/Twitter and admonished “his fellow white Americans”:

If Trump wins on November 5, it will be because of his support from a majority of white America. As a white American, and a white American man to boot, I’ve got to say, in the immortal words of Pogo: We have met the enemy and he is us.

Writer Chris Menahan in his piece about the veritable mountain of aid dollars that the United States has given to Israel is eye-opening. It is not in the interests of American citizens to have their country’s treasury pilfered by a foreign nation whose principal constituents work night and day to subvert them. That is what the Jewish diaspora within the United States does and would have no qualms about draining America until it is a worn-out, desiccated husk. That is a dystopian view, but unfortunately, it is true.

In an excellent policy paper entitled “America’s Appalling Ally”, The White Papers Policy Institute reveals just how much money Israel has cost the United States since its inception:

Between 1943 and 2023 the United States government provided the so-called State of Israel with 160 billion dollars in aid. If this figure is adjusted for inflation then the total amount of money US taxpayers have directly budgeted for Israel increases to an incredible 260 billion dollars.

The paper further reveals to what extent American taxpayers’ money supports Israeli infrastructure projects, housing, subsidized housing, public transportation systems, illegal settlements in the West Bank and loan guarantees. The paper meticulously substantiates the statement that “a strong Jewish lobby and strong Jewish representation at the core of American political and media life has led the United States into an, at times hysterical, devotion to the State of Israel.”

An article in Tablet, a Jewish periodical, emphasizes the cost of defending Israel from Iranian missiles:

“Stress” is the key word. While the missile barrage that Khamenei launched on April 13 may have killed no one, it stressed his adversaries in several ways, including economically. Informed observers estimate that on that night Israel alone spent over a billion dollars—a hefty bill for just a few hours work. We have no information about the cost to the entire coalition, but Biden administration officials have testified before Congress that the United States Navy has spent nearly a billion dollars over the last six months intercepting missiles and drones launched by the IRGC and its terrorist proxies.

The defense economics skew in favor of Iran. Its attack drones cost $20,000 apiece. A David’s Sling Stunner interceptor is estimated to cost $1 million, while a Patriot MSE interceptor is at least $3 million. Iran’s weapons are also plentiful. Its arsenal of drones, ballistic missiles, and cruise missiles is massive, one of the largest in the world.

Interestingly, the piece admits that Israel does not have operational sovereignty:

Israel, by contrast, suffers from diminished operational sovereignty—because of its dependence on the United States, which scrutinizes every step that Israel takes toward Iran. The IDF cannot flawlessly defend the nation against Iran’s “defective,” “unreliable,” “substandard,” and “inaccurate” weapons without the help of USCENTCOM, the combatant command that organized the coalition defense of Israel. Moreover, Israel co-manufactures the interceptors in its Iron Dome system in the United States, giving Washington the option of withholding resupply to influence Israeli policy.

Recently, in the United States, an electronic billboard in one of Chicago’s northern suburbs was hacked. Rather than displaying its usual array of advertisements, it featured messages critical of Israel including “F*** Israel” and “Death to Israel”. The billboard is located close to interstate 294 in-between Lake Cook Road and Deerfield Road in a heavily Jewish area represented by congressman Brad Schneider. Schneider had this to say on social media:

I am aware of the hateful, antisemitic billboard signs located on Edens Spur Tollroad in Northbrook, one that says “F*$% ISRAEL” and one that reads “DEATH TO ISRAEL.” This disgusting, intimidating display has no place in the 10th District, or anywhere in America.

It just goes to show that elected officials on the cucked right feel compelled to be apologists for Israel lest they be removed from office or lose valuable donors. According to the about page on Schneider’s website, he is predictably a member of the House Task Force Combating Antisemitism.

A piece in the online publication DeClassified reveals that the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have collaborated and conferred with the United Kingdom’s military on the use of Information Operations or digital propaganda warfare. It is part of the spectrum of military operations in the modern age to be cognizant of the impact of social media and news on propaganda distribution. The use of accounts justifying the killing of civilians and ethnic cleansing is justified, in part, by IDF operated social media accounts. Militarized online trolling is a reality now in the propaganda war. Much like the United States, the UK is engaged in helping the Israelis in a way that goes against the interests of the British people. If the UK government is seen to be complicit in the war crimes being committed against Israel’s enemies, the terror networks that are undoubtedly present in the UK will be mobilized and the victims will be white British people who have nothing to do with the ongoing conflict in the middle east.

Migrants will once again flee the Middle East as a result of Israel’s aggression, a phenomenon that both the Jewish state and the diaspora welcomes. Amid the undulating waves of mass migration that have been flooding the West over the last decade, the latest cresting waves will be from the Middle East. Israel and its constellation of lobby groups and advocates can have their cake and eat it too if they succeed. If you are not Jewish, you are part of a hostile out-group that needs to be eliminated or at best subjugated. Along with bankruptcy, all non-Jews face a choice between fast or slow genocide. The path of survival for us is metapolitical resistance, white identity politics, and dispensing with our servile relationship with a hostile Jewish elite.
