Colonial Duplicity and the Jewish Calendar
When Israel is probably going to attack, according to the Jewish calendar, and the role the US is playing in all of this, including its plans for regime change in Iran
I don’t know how many times I’ve said it before in this unending stretch of hell; still, I’m going to continue saying it: Israel is not stopping till it’s broken and incapable of escalating, and probably disintegrated altogether. It cannot stop: it cannot think, and it has no mechanism left in place to mitigate the atavistic madness of its culture and leadership. On the contrary: with every day that passes, it becomes more insane, more hellbent on widespread extermination, and has greater psychopaths manning its senior positions everywhere.
There is no going back. Ever. This is a dead end for Israel.

As the whole world awaits Israel’s attack on Iran (that stems from unearthed, late-stage murder-suicide Zionist urges), I suggest taking note of the Jewish calendar (more commonly referred to as the Hebrew calendar: I don’t see the point in calling it that when discussing a culture obsessed with everything Jewish, especially as its origins are Babylonian, therefore neither Hebrew nor Jewish).
In that calendar, however you choose to call it, October 7 2023 was the day of Simchat Tora, a Jewish holiday celebrating the conclusion of the yearly cycle of reading the Jewish Bible.
We’re already past October 7 in the Gregorian calendar, but this year’s Simchat Tora will be celebrated on October 24th. Thursday, then, will mark a full year according to the Jewish calendar since the events of October 7. Given all the hints and tips from a slew of sources about an impending Israeli attack, I think that the morning hours of October 24th, the same as Hamas began its fateful attack last year, make a very compelling time for starting the new phase of this, from a Jewish-Israeli perspective.
I believe this Israel-initiated new phase will end in a much bigger disaster for Israel than October 7. But we’ll see how this one plays out.
Let’s appraise America’s role in this
It has been a challenge finding the right words to describe the behavioral style the US employs to make sure this catastrophe continues and expands: we can all see it and no one denies it, just saying what it is, exactly, has proved elusive. Yesterday, though, I think an apt analogy hit me.
The US always pretends it is only defending Israel, right? It never fails to mention that defending Israel is its main motivation, (if not its entire raison d'être). How this behavior guarantees escalation can be understood if we think in terms of a drunk and disorderly driver who’s the son of a powerful politician.
Now, every evening, the son goes out on a wild ride and is known to have already caused numerous deadly accidents and run over multiple pedestrians. But every time police tell the father about such an incident, his way of addressing the issue is to buy his son a bigger, heavier, safer car.
This is what the US has been doing this entire time, and arguably throughout Israel’s existence: it pretends to just ‘help Israel defend itself’; but its unconditional and ever-increasing commitment to this supposed defense makes Israel continuously more brazen and unstoppable. Israel knows that not only will the US harness its full might to Israel’s active defense, but it will also rush to assist it further once Israel’s artificially inflated confidence gets it in trouble.
So, by always ‘defending Israel‘ and ‘helping Israel do defend itself‘ the US makes sure Israel always gets more antisocial and narcissistic, as it is made to feel free from dealing with the consequences of its increasingly demonic actions.
Remember the pier?
The US's supposedly passive, ‘defensive‘ style of pushing Israel to commit more atrocities and cause more destabilization by always unconditionally having its back sits perfectly with the Western colonial tradition of duplicity, (which is in itself part of the general fake being of the colonizer).
We have seen this double play all along, and it’s become so powerfully evident there is almost no need to give examples. But the facade of orderliness, of investigations being carried out, of expectation and pretend innuendoes (‘Israel needs to do more‘), and all the rest of the complete fabrications spread by the US government all along the past year - those are an essential part of Western colonialism, which values its image as much as it does the lands and resources of Indigenous people, or the joy it derives from butchering, dismembering and humiliating them.
The Western, European colonizer must have their image intact as moral, advanced, and generally clinical in all things; and through this lens, we should be looking at what the US has been doing, which is not only providing ‘defense‘ 24/7/365 but also the fake humane facade that allows the genocide(s) to go on.
This and only this is the reason they ever spoke of aid trucks and humanitarian aid, and this is why they built that unbelievably stupid and useless pier: to make themselves look righteous as they legitimize and prolong the genocide that Israel is committing with their money and their weapons while relying on their neer-global enactment of genocide-compliance.
The THHAD and the aid truck
In recent weeks the US announced it was installing a THAAD anti-ballistic-missile system in Israel; at the same time, the US issued an ultimatum according to which if Israel did not allow significantly more aid in, the US would stop arming it.
Now let’s put aside the whole aspect of did they meant it or not (of course not), on the narrative movement and consciousness front, this pair of simultaneous announcements demonstrates brilliantly how Western colonizers think and act: on the one hand they guarantee the continuation of the war through nonstop resupply of ‘defense‘ (used for offense), and on the other hand they pretend to have humanity and a balanced approach (talking about ‘aid‘ to streamline the genocide). Do we get the full monstrosity of this?
A short aside: why the THHAD ensures more, bigger hostilities
The US propaganda presented the placement of America’s most advanced anti-missile system as a cooling, mature step. But if you think about it for a second, you’ll realize why the THAAD is sure to push both Israel and Iran to act more aggressively.
As regards Israel, it is obvious: it knows it enjoys the US defense umbrella, therefore it is free to unleash much bigger punishment on Iran than it would under normal circumstances. Now they feel they can get away with a lot more damage.
As for Iran - it is also clear why the THHAD is going to cause them to respond to Israel’s attack with a bigger counterstrike than they may have otherwise decided on. First, they have to take into account that Israel may feel emboldened into taking wilder aggressive steps, seeing itself as protected by THAAD and, second, they need to calculate for the THAAD actually disrupting their attack, thus they need to make it bigger.
The US obviously knows all that, yet chooses to go on pursuing this path of duplicity and enablism.
This is a big part of the reason why I think America’s goal is a wider regional war, led by an unhinged Israel.
What the US and Israel are preparing for Iran
First of all, regarding the prospect of a bigger war and American intentions, we need to not let our minds get dim. Some things are very easy to understand. For example: if you don’t want war, you don’t send weapons.
The US has been arming Israel every second of every day since it started its wars of annihilation. It gave Israel stealth airplanes and bunker-busters and patted its shoulder all the way here. It knows precisely what Israel can do militarily.
Factually Israel is here with full US support. Would the US have done so had it wanted to avoid a bigger war? An exceptionally thick skull is required to think something like that.
And then there are the layers of defense the US deployed around and in Israel: are they meant to deter Israel from leading to war, or to encourage it? It is quite simple, right?
-
If there’s something we’ve learned in the last year is that there’s no separation between the US and Israel. American policymakers at the highest level are operating and speaking as if they were Israeli hawks themselves; Israel is given a new carte blanche to commit more hardy imaginable crimes against humanity daily while being armed and protected ceremoniously around the clock.
So Israel going to war with Iran, either by force of America’s commitment to endless ‘defense‘, or by common design, is the US going to war with Iran. That’s just how it is.
How will this war be conducted?
Here, too, we can look at what we saw in the past months, namely: an obsession with assassinating leaders and using surprise shock attacks to debilitate large systems and command structures. I feel certain that is precisely what the US in Israel are preparing for Iran. Together.
I don’t know if that’s the attack that’s being planned for the near future (maybe, indeed Thursday morning), or what’s planned for the one after that. I do know that the US has agreed, wholeheartedly or supposedly timidly, to let Netanyahu dictate the future of its interests, or even presence, in the Middle East.
Given the genocidal, racist, disconnected, and delusional state of mind in the Israeli and American administrations and bureaucracies, I am expecting nothing less than a plan to suddenly and violently disable Iran, which could be attempted through the use of massive air raids, cyber-attacks, thousands of simultaneous bunker busters, hundreds of cruise missiles fired from submarines, an EMP blast or even a joint US-Israeli nuclear attack (or all of the above).
There is no way Israel and the US are preparing for a war of attrition with Iran and the Axis of Resistance. There is also no way they intend to get along with it. They lack the strategy, wisdom, and patience to embark on such a plan, They are the kind of people who want swift, decisive, and humiliating wins, and I believe this is what Israel and the US are after.
I believe, finally, that the coming attack against Iran is a shared US-Israeli operation, and that the US is leading or letting itself be led into an all-out war of annihilation and genocide in the Middle East.
As essential colonizers, neither the US nor Israel cares much about destroying the region. In their minds, if they can’t control, dominate, and loot it, maybe no one should have it. Just look at the amazingly pathetic, sadistic, soulless, and shallow Blinken and Lloyd Austin, Netanyahu, and Matthew Miller, and realize that is the set of people that determines how the US and West operate. Their character is their civilization’s personality and destiny.
-
The fate of the Middle East depends on the ability of Russia, China, and Iran to disrupt, outsmart and counter the coming US-Israeli attacks. Because they are coming, and their failure (or success) in bringing down Iran will determine how the rest of our lives look. But they are about to set in motion a regime change war on Iran.
Israel is not stopping till it’s broken.
Your “drunken son of a powerful politician” analogy touches on a way I like to look at such situations: through the lens of that notable quote attributed to Brutish (sic) Lord Acton -- “power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.” Israel thinks it has absolute power, because it has the U.S. behind it. Or beneath it. Or because it has parasited itself inside there like one of those hideous Guinea worms. In any case, the genozioniders believe they have absolute power. So they can do the most corrupt, murderous things possible. With impunity! I reckon the IsraelUS combo is NOT as powerful as they delude themselves to be. The rest of the world is out there, and they will have a few things to say. Reality itself will put a bitch-slap on the double-headed hydra. It WILL end as you predict -- with the end of Israel. The only question is, how many others’ lives will end with it?
Ok Alon, I had to read this post twice to understand fully what you are suggesting might happen. This is all excellent. I see a possible book here, that’s how interesting this is. Here’s my thoughts as you continue to observe the last few weeks of the disastrous Biden administration part of this:
- Blinken has been a horrible SecState, as everyone knows. He doesn’t have the education or background needed, the stamina, nor the personality. Compare him to secretary Colin Powell, for instance, even tho he was tricked into lying at the United Nations about WMD, all of us at State loved and admired him, and he was super admired at DOD as well. He was a leader with tons of experience, etc. Biden has no one like that because he thinks he’s so smart he didn’t need them. Wrong!!
- Jake Sullivan is Biden’s Nationality Security Adviser but he has been mostly out of the picture on Gaza. He has tons of State Dept. past experience, is smart and reliable. Where is he in all of this. Where does he stand?
- Matthew Miller is a nobody, don’t waste your time on him, that is a nothing job. No policy input, no ideas, he’s like a soap ad on TV, but he looks like an ass so people like to talk about him.
- yes, USG is acting like the father of a reckless teenage driver. People thought Biden knew foreign policy because of his one hundred years in the Senate. but he sat in DC for all those years having lunches and meeting people. He went to law school, he met lots of people, but he is a horrible judge of character. Then he kisses Netanyahu and the genocide begins.
- Everyone. Everyone. Everyone in the Biden administration is job hunting full time and barely doing anything else. Including Blinken who will join some huge you know what: AIPAC- type of thing. He’s calling people on the Secretary’s plane and updating his resume to include this last useless visit. The only one not looking yet is Kamala bc she’s 50-50 gonna be POTUS. (president of the U.S.)
- American does not remember and we don’t care. Thus on nov 6 everybody in DC including Biden is a nobody. The DEM political appointees have used up all of their sick leave and they depart for the jobs they spent the past six months applying for. If trump wins, Biden can do nothing nothing nothing. Jill starts packing.
- As you have clearly laid out in your posts, things are crazy and it’s a very unpredictable time, most of all for the devastation facing everyone in Gaza. Unfortunately the USG thinks it’s a movie set and does not ever think of the lives at stake overseas and especially not if they are Arabs.
