Where Are The Men? Military Action Against Israel. NOW!*

‘If one million Egyptians try to break the siege on Gaza, the genocide would end’~ Georges Ibrahim Abdallah

With a No-Fly Zone … fighter pilots will not be initiating hostilities, but establishing a dome of protection over civilians ~ilana

Enough!

The world has built up a head of steam over Israel. Yet at no time has anyone offered a military plan of action—even though genocide is criminalized by the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide (CPPCG), or the Genocide Convention; even though this international treaty “obligates state parties to pursue the enforcement of its prohibition.”

Israeli mass murder has been fenced off from any outside intervention by no other than the United States of America.” With American backing, Israel, you can say, has outwitted the world. Nominal ceasefires imposed on the “genocidal entity” have not stopped the carnage. Israel continues to murder Arabs and destroy their lands and leaders as the fancy takes them.

The maelstrom of Israel’s genocide in Gaza, the country’s vertiginous expansion across the Levant to include a dirty war (of assassinations) in Iran, and the continued forbearance of the Global North—all these factors have only encouraged Israel to expand its evil endeavor and give voice to it. Emanations from the collective Israeli mind continue to flow as freely as an open sewer and are as septic. Unless stopped, Israel will continue to open up new fronts of evil.

Libertarians worth their salt will apply to the collective the same moral code applied to the individual. If a lone serial killer and home invader must not be left to continue on his merry spree of murder and theft; neither may a band of killers armed with WMD do the same. If a lone serial killer ought to be hunted down by good men and women, cuffed, incarcerated and tried; so too must a gang engaged in high-tech, AI-assisted mass murder. That is the simple meaning and application of the libertarian axiom of non-aggression in a world in which defense is not privately produced.

Curiously—and considering the centrality of a values-based pretense in U.S. foreign policy, of good-vs-evil—if ever a clear, moral case for American military intervention presented itself; it is on the side of the civilians of Gaza as against the Israelis, who are armed with Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD).

This must lead to an inescapable conclusion:

Since the United States of America is not a “global force for good,” it remains for the locals to do the job. A large-scale regional military intervention must be mounted post haste, for there is an affirmative, not a passive, obligation to stop Israel. The world, with some heroic exceptions, has so far breached that legal and moral obligation.

Right now, the Arab people wish to act in support of their brethren butchered in Palestine and Lebanon. Conversely, their governments refuse, bought and paid for as they are by the US, whose foreign policy is centered on what Israel wants.

Even more extraordinary: Israel is funded by America, yet it does exactly what it likes and to hell with America. The two propositions don’t seem to be mutually exclusive. Like Israel, the Arab nations receive subventions from America. They should take a leaf from Israel’s book and quit cowering. Do what their people want them to do.

Contrary to the swindlers of the corporate western media; Turkish youth, for example, and its people at large, oppose the game of footsie Erdogan plays with Israel, while pretending to oppose it. Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan has extended his country’s military role in the Levant, realizing his neo-Ottoman impulses in Syria in ways harmful to what remains of the Axis of pro-Palestinian Resistance.

At the same time, Erdogan has limited himself to being merely “rhetorically strong” about Israel’s genocide, as Lebanese journalist Rania Khalek had observed. The people of Türkiye, by contrast, continue to protest vessels such as the US aircraft carrier USS Wasp, docking in Izmir, en route to assist Israel in dropping ordnance on impoverished, starving people, penned in a deathcamp. Risking the Empire’s wrath, Erdogan, on the other hand, had in fact previously hosted the beleaguered Hamas

In other words, so baffling is Türkiye’s subterfuge in the Middle East that nobody would be surprised if Erdogan, forever unpredictable, out-of-the-blue, scrambled fighter jets to establish a No-Fly Zone over Gaza and the West Bank, which are occupied, not Israeli, territory!

With a No-Fly Zone; Türkiye’s fighter pilots will not be initiating hostilities, but establishing a dome of protection over civilians, whose tiny enclaves in Gaza had been hit, so far, with the equivalent of six nuclear bombs, prompting Hiroshima, a civilized city of peacemakers, to beg Israel to cease its murder spree.

Prime Minster Erdogan would do well to heed his people. In the long run, this is wise for political longevity and stability.

Likewise is the Egyptian military fuming over their country’s leaders’ failure to help Gaza, and their inaction with respect to Israeli atrocities. From the Egyptian Ground Forces, which corrupt Egyptian leaders have historically feared, rose Gamal Abdel Nasser, a revered leader of Egyptian pan-Arabist nationalism.

“Conscripts at the Sinai-Gaza border” have decried the Sisi government’s silence over the killing by the Israelis, their putative allies, of comrades-in-arms during Israel’s annexation of the Philadelphi corridor. These Egyptian military men are eager to act. Who other than the Axis of Genocide would object to Egypt reclaiming the Philadelphi Corridor, illegally annexed by Israel, and opening its side of the Rafah border to flood the zone to its north with aid trucks under heavy military escort?

Despite broad public anger over Israel’s crimes in Gaza, Jordan’s King Abdullah has helped Israel fend off Iran’s drone and missile reprisals. The Jordanian people protesting Israel feel betrayed, reports Deutsche Welle, a German broadcaster. “Jordanians are currently fuming, outraged, because of a  gourmet food festival” taking place this month, “while Gaza starves.”

Because of the Hashemite monarchy’s close ties to and assistance to Israel; revolution is simmering in Jordan, whose people are of Palestinian ancestry. In fact, “the Hashemite monarchy, which has ruled Jordan for its entire history, fears a Palestinian takeover of the country.” Abdullah, king of Jordan, would reduce chances of revolution in the Kingdom were he, at least, to stop assisting the Israelis. Scrambling the Royal Jordanian Air Force to enforce a No-Fly Zone over the occupied neighboring territories would vastly strengthen Abdullah’s position domestically given his restive people. 

A meek adjunct though it may be, let the Spanish Armada set sail for Gaza’s seafront. Whatever naval assets can be mustered by other Palestine-supporting countries—Norway, Ireland and Belgium—ought to provide amphibious support to brave No-Fly Zone fighter pilots crisscrossing Gaza and the West Bank.

I bet dollars to doughnuts that the Axis of Genocide, challenged for the very first time, will be cowed. Bullies are cowards.

As that most American of crime writers, Raimond Chandler, counselled, “It never pays to let the enemy make all the rules.” And Israel is the enemy, the enemy of humanity.

Similar counsel comes from a recently released, elderly, pro-Palestinian resistance fighter, who spent four decades in a French prison. Described in the French press as a “Lebanese leftist militant imprisoned in France since 1984,” Georges Ibrahim Abdallah remains a masculine force at full tilt.

Abdallah arrived in Lebanon on July the 25th. A large gaggle of press and supporters eddied around him. He told them, “If one million Egyptians try to break the siege on Gaza, the genocide would end.”

Abdallah deferred to lionheart Greta Thunberg as an example of courage: The Swedish young woman had sailed forth in international waters intending to reach the riparian territory of the people of Gaza. For wishing to administer kindness—to slake the thirst and assuage the hunger of some Palestinians—and to galvanize on behalf of Gaza; Israeli terrorists kidnapped Freedom Flotilla activists and forced them into their own benighted country.

Piracy on the high seas. What should have been a safe, peaceful voyage was terminated by pirates, perpetrators of genocide. Does Israel now rule the high seas as well?

I might have misunderstood Mr. Abdallah, but by praising a wee girl for her bravery he seemed to be asking, where are the men?

On arriving in the US, in 2002, her weekly column was right away syndicated. Mercer’s national syndication fell through shortly after due to writing in strident opposition to the war in Iraq. ILANA is described as “a system-builder. Distilled, her modus operandi has been to methodically apply first principles to the day’s events.” She’s Jewish, grew up in Israel ages five to nineteen, and left, at 19, never to return. She had refused to serve in the IDF, Israel’s compulsory military. Ilana’s focus since October of 2023 has been the genocide. A war against civilians is a war on civilization
