Big Tech’s Effort to Silence Truth-tellers: Global Research Online Referral Campaign

***

The newspaper Haaretz in an editorial of October 8 directly accused Netanyahu of being “responsible for this war between Israel and Gaza” and also, Israeli public opinion would already be holding Netanyahu responsible for the resounding failure of Israeli security by disparaging Egyptian information.

Thus, according to Egyptian sources, 10 days earlier they allegedly warned Netanyahu that Hamas was preparing a major offensive against Israel, which was denied by Netanyahu in a tweet accusing the intelligence services of negligence, getting in the way of enmity with the powerful services of the Israeli Mossad.

Netanyahu would also be cornered by the international community’s condemnation of the flagrant violation of human rights in Gaza with some 28,000 Palestinian civilian victims that has resulted in South Africa’s presentation before the World Court in the Hague (ICJ) of a lawsuit against Israel for alleged “crime of genocide”. The verdict of that Court could have forced Netanyahu to stop the invasion of Gaza and to decree a permanent ceasefire, the release of the hostages held by Hamas and the entry into Gaza of urgent humanitarian aid in the form of food, fuel and medical supplies, but the Solomonic decision of the ICJ in The Hague will lead to the continuation of the Israeli military invasion in Gaza until its total destruction.

The real objective of the Gaza military campaign would be to provoke a second Nakba in which 1.5 million Palestinians would be forced to leave a Gaza turned into a mass of rubble and human remains that would make it impossible to return the displaced Gazan population and confine Palestinians in an open-air concentration camp of 1,7 Km2 located in Rafah, situation described by the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, Volker Türk, as “apocalyptic”, while warning “of the growing risk of genocide”.

However, disaffection towards Netanyahu is growing in Israeli society because he cannot forgive the security flaws in the Israeli Defense that would have led to the killing of 1200 Israelis and the kidnapping of 220 people by Hamas.

Thus, according to a survey by The Jerusalem Post, 80% of those polled say that “the Government is mainly responsible for the infiltration of Palestinian militias” and 56% think that “Netanyahu should resign at the eIs the Israeli army preparing a coup against Netanyahu?nd of the current war”.

In this context, we are witnessing the unfortunate death by the Tzahal of three of the Jewish hostages by confusing them with members of Hamas. As a result, the mobilizations of the relatives of the people kidnapped by Hamas at the residence of Netanyahu who are made “personally responsible for their return home alive” have increased. Thus, the disaffection of Israeli society towards Netanyahu due to his nefarious management of the crisis with Hamas, the null interest to rescue alive the Jewish hostages and the stubbornness of Netanyahu to undertake the capture of Rafah with the evident risk of Massacre of about 1.5 million Gazans who live there crowded, could provoke a blow of hand of the ex-member of the Israeli Emergency Government, Benny Gantz, who leads the Blue and White party.

Such a coup would have the blessings of the Biden Administration and AIPAC and after ending the invasion of Gaza and the exchange of hostages in the hands of Hamas, would lead to the early calling of new elections with the avowed goal of forming a Government of National Unity with Yair Lapid. The primary task of such a Government would be to reissue the Oslo Accords, which would enable the peaceful coexistence of two peoples in two States, and while Netanyahu, a nefarious politician who tried to strike an autocratic coup to later establish a presidential regime, could face a criminal trial in which he will be accused of negligence and crimes against human rights which could mean a criminal conviction and his definitive departure from the Israeli political scene.
