Is The Middle East About To Blow?

The situation in the Middle East has become extremely volatile over the last few days what with the Israelis killing Palestinians by the score in the Gaza and the US provocatively placing their warships just outside of territorial waters off Lebanon. After months of festering, the Israelis and the US seem set to bring the entire Middle East to a head with the ultimate endgame being the final confrontation between Iran and the US and Israel.

Israel has already launched a murderous onslaught against the Gazan people that has killed scores of civilians and which seems to be a prelude for a full-on invasion of the Gaza that will inevitably cause even more death and misery for the already badly suffering Gazan people. Hundreds, if not thousands, are likely to be killed if the Israelis invade the Gaza.

Meanwhile, the US has placed the USS Cole and other support vessels off shore of Lebanon. The Israelis and the US are clearly anticipating Hezbollah to launch some kind of action against Israel in support of the Palestine fighters in the Gaza and in retaliation of the recent Israeli-orchestrated killing of Hezbollah commander Imad Mughniyeh. Israel is likely to respond with yet another massive attack against Hezbollah and the Lebanese people just as they did in July and August of 2006. Already Israel are accusing Hamas in the Gaza of using Iranian supplied missiles against Ashkelon in Israel and no doubt, if Hezbollah do enjoin the fight against Israel, similar accusations will be laid against Hezbollah who, as the Israelis did during the last war, will accuse the Iranians of supplying weapons via Syria, thus providing the excuse the Israelis need to attack Syria. The hope then will be that Iran will come to the aid of Syria thus providing casus belli for the US to attack Iran.

In the event of such a war developing and escalating to this level it may well be that Abbas in the West Bank may loose control over Fatah fighters there who might forget their differences with Hamas and join the fight against Israel in support of their fellow Palestinians in the Gaza and their fellow Arabs fighting in Lebanon against a common enemy.

And all this will happen while the rest of world just sits and lets it happen without a murmur of protest.

    Well,
    referencing my stock post about "something big is going to happen", i could only add that this indeed would be the ultimate "distraction" or "news" to break up or cover for the market action this week.

    Thats no lie.
    If you can't control it and keep it afloat, at least you can make a distraction and possibly have something to "blame" or tie to the crash.

    Is this an original thought or a cut and paste job? Sounds like the latter. Dude the whole world is about to blow. Ragheads in Gaza firing rockets at kids is the least of our concerns. Oh yeah, Israeli lives aren't lives right?

    Wow.
    And do you understand anything about what is going on over there?

    I guess your right. Who gives a shit about the oppressed ole ragheads. If they are firing rockets at our brothers of the faith, we must wipe them from this earth.

    May the streets of Gaza run with the blood of the women and children of Palestine. Their lives are not worth the cost of one jewish pack mule.

    :rolleyes:

    Nice big sticker you got on your forehead there.
    Progress is not made by everyone joining some new fad,
    and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
    over specific principles, goals, and policies.

    Can never please some people. If I post original thought im declared a conspiracy theorist. If I post an article it gets dismissed as a paste job.
