Israelis can murder YOU and get away with it

Just off-hand, I can think of dozens of Americans who were murdered in cold blood by the Israeli authorities, and in each case, Washington either hushed up the story or whitewashed the incident.

Firstly, there was the famous USS Liberty massacre, documented here by veterans who survived the attempt to kill all the Americans aboard the ship. 34 US sailors were killed and 174 were injured. If the Israeli military had succeeded in its attempt to kill them all, the death toll would have exceeded 200 souls. All Americans, the most generous benefactors of “Israel.”

The next one that comes to mind is the gruesome murder of US activist Rachel Corrie, who died crushed under the treads of an Israeli bulldozer attempting to raze the home of a Palestinian family Corrie was attempting to defend. The story is documented here.

Then there was US journalist Shireen Abu Akleh, who was shot to death in cold blood by an IDF shooter. As in all such incidents, the Israelis had ready narratives to whitewash their deeds, none of which held any water. They didn’t need to be plausible. Washington is always glad to swallow the excuses.

The last Israeli murder of an American that I can think of was that of Turkish-American activist Aysenur Ezgi Eygi, who was shot point blank by an IDF soldier.

And there are cases I had never heard about, some of which are mentioned in this article by Philip Giraldi.

In each case, the US did little or nothing to seek justice for its murdered citizens.

US-Israel relations were a much higher priority than the security of Americans.

WION – Yemen’s Houthis launch ballistic missiles on Israel’s Tel Aviv

You can’t speak of a “failure” of an air defense system when a hypersonic missile is not intercepted by the system. NO air defense anywhere in the world can shoot down a hypersonic missile.

Maariv: Israel is unable to confront the Houthis

A Yemeni missile targeted Tel Aviv for the third time in one week, and according to Israeli media, it injured 14 people. This open battle caused widespread concern among the entity. The Hebrew newspaper Maariv says, "The Israeli army and the intelligence community woke up too late to confront the threat, and only now the Mossad and military intelligence are trying to find sources here and there and build an intelligence picture of the Houthis." The newspaper indicates in a report translated by the Al-Khanadaq website that "This is why the three air force attacks on the Houthis were also public relations rounds and a little fireworks, and much less realistic activity to hit people who cause real military damage that creates a balance of terror or a kind of deterrence for the Houthis."

Translated text:

We must look reality in the eyes of the poor and say out loud: Israel is unable to confront the Houthi challenge from Yemen. Israel failed against the Houthis from Yemen. Israel woke up too late to confront the threat from the east, and it is dragging its feet in its response to the threat.

It should be noted that the Israeli army is having difficulty supplying goods in the event of a threat from Yemen, neither defensively nor offensively. For more than a year, the Houthis from Yemen have been causing very serious damage to the regional economy in general, and the Israeli economy in particular. The Houthis’ closure of freedom of navigation in the Arabian Sea is an event for which Israel launched the Six-Day War in the past.

Since the beginning of the war, the Houthis have fired 201 missiles and more than 170 explosive drones at Israel. Most of the missiles and drones were intercepted by the Americans, the Air Force and the Navy.

Israel has not prepared for the intelligence and political confrontation with the Houthi threat from Yemen. It has not formed a regional coalition for the threat that is economically damaging Egypt, Jordan and Europe.

The Israeli army and the intelligence community woke up too late to face the threat, and now only the Mossad and military intelligence are trying to find sources here and there and build an intelligence picture of the Houthis. That is why the three air force attacks on the Houthis were also public relations stunts and a bit of fireworks, and a much less realistic activity to hit people who cause real military damage that creates a balance of terror or some kind of deterrence for the Houthis.

They themselves have the support of the Iranians. The missiles and drones launched from Yemen are Iranian-made. It is he who is making improvements to the flight paths of the drones, making it harder for the air force to identify them.

In addition to the improvements in the ballistic missiles that were able to overcome the "Arrow" missiles of the space company. The pioneering air defense project, which unfortunately received a score four times in a row, failed in an attempt to successfully intercept ballistic missiles - three from Yemen and one from Lebanon.

The sad thing about the whole thing is that Israel is not formulating a real plan to confront the threat from the east. As happened in the north, where the Israeli government normalized the launch of missiles from Lebanon for more than a year.

And as happened in the south, where for a decade Israel normalized the launch of missiles and terrorist operations from Gaza to the border area, we are now normalizing the launch of the Houthis. Only this time, two million civilians, some of them residents of the “State of Tel Aviv,” are fleeing to protected areas. So I wonder if normalization will be shorter.

Israel has a fleet of missile ships and submarines that are not actually used against the Houthis in Yemen for some reason. Israel has a “Third Circle” command within the IDF that was supposed to coordinate intelligence in the eastern region and attack capabilities. And above all, Israel has an air force.

Bombing a fuel tank or a few old tugboats in a small port in Yemen is like bombing a sand dune in Gaza, or a Hamas cardboard column in front of Nahal Oz. Israel must make a real decision to act with determination. Not only in Yemen, but also against the operators and initiators of the Houthi activity, who, according to Israeli intelligence, are not based in Sanaa, but in Tehran.
