In response to Israeli military plans to occupy Gaza City in major escalation of war

Fantasy in Tel Aviv and reality in Gaza

What is being deliberately spread by complicit Western mainstream media as the truth is the output of a well-oiled and US-funded Israeli PR campaign designed to keep the ugly truth from us. But even within Israel, alternative voices are telling the truth.

That truth is that Israel faces an existential crisis, both within its military and its economy. The IDF has suffered vastly more casualties than the Israeli and world public are being told. A figure of 10,000 dead is widely agreed by external military analysts. over 100,000 reservists have failed to turn up when called up and hundreds of thousands of Israelis, including those reservists, are fleeing to other countries, almost certainly never to return.

Suicide in the IDF is reaching epidemic proportions.

In addition, it was Netanyahu who sought the ceasefire with Iran as the Iranian missile and drone strikes on Israeli military and intelligence infrastructure had disabled much of their capacity to wage war and to have the upper hand in intelligence.

Israeli military leaders are threatening resignation if the government directs them to occupy Gaza. They simply don’t have the troops to do it as they know Hamas is still capable of crushing them!
