When Netanyahu Ends the Ceasefire

Recognize that Zionist control of Democrats and Republicans, including Donald Trump, Joe Biden and any future Democratic Party or Republican Party U.S. President, is so manipulative and controlling that each and every Republican and Democrat President will NOT STOP GIVING AMERICAN BOMBS TO ISRAEL UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES.

Most Democrats and Republicans are sooo religiously and transactionally subservient unto Israel and Zionist lies from Netanyahu and any other Israeli officials, the bi-partisan babykillers will NEVER stop sending American bombs and weapons to Israel - AND DONALD TRUMP IS NO DIFFERENT - MARK MY WORDS.

Right now even though the ceasefire is in effect, Trump and his Pentagon are STILL SHIPPING TRUMP BOMBS TO ISRAEL AS WE SPEAK, in anticipation of Netanyahu resuming tent bombing of the Palestinian people in a few weeks using TRUMP BOMBS, when Netanyahu is ready to end the ceasefire.

And how will Netanyahu end the ceasefire?

He will falsely claim that Hamas violated the ceasefire and Netanyahu will resume tent bombing, because that’s just about the only things still standing - for now - are plastic and cloth tents that Palestinian families are living under right now.

Netanyahu has proved over and over that tents are no match for American 2,000 pound bombs and guided missiles.

Israel has already bombed and destroyed virtually every hospital, mosque and school in Gaza, but that doesn’t matter to state-sponsored genocidal maniacs executing a religious war to steal Muslim land and kill its indigenous peoples.

Netanyahu has filled Trump and U.S. officials FULL OF ZIONIST LIES that U.S. officials repeat to the American people as some kind of goddamn legitimate excuse for Israelis to kill another 50,000 Palestinian men, women and children AND STEAL THEIR LAND.

Here’s an example of the Zionist lies and propaganda that Netanyahu tells Trump and U.S. officials; and it goes like this:

NETANYAHU: Listen up Trump: Israel didn’t tell the U.S. what to do and how to wage war against Iraqis when the U.S. murdered hundreds of thousands of Iraqi civilians during the U.S. War on Iraq - so don’t even think about telling Israel how to wage war on the Palestinians and Hamas.

We must defeat Hamas. We must eradicate Hamas. Hamas poses an existential threat to the State of Israel.

And DO NOT even think about cutting off U.S. weapons to Israel, because if you do the Hamas wins.

Hamas hates Jews and want to kill each and every Jew in Israel. We must eradicate Hamas or there will be more October 7ths.

You must support Israel and you must keep providing U.S. weapons to us in order for Israel’s survival. Hamas poses an existential threat to the State of Israel.”

Trump is too stupid and too indifferent to the plight of one human being, much less the plight of 2.1 million Palestinians to give a crap about Netanyahu executing a kosher genocide on the Palestinian people using TRUMP BOMBS.

In the West Bank, Trump is giving Netanyahu a free hand to blow up the region

David Hearst - 23 January 2025

Team Trump is in lockstep with Israel's operation to dismantle the refugee camps in preparation for annexation. This is a recipe for disaster and much more conflict to come.

Anyone who imagined that US President Donald Trump would be the Stop the War president the Middle East had been waiting for, should have a look at what is currently underway in the Occupied West Bank.

Dumbfounded by the sight of hundreds of well turned out Hamas fighters and jeeps surrounding the Red Cross transport vehicle which held the first three Israeli hostages to be released, the Israeli army is laying waste to Jenin with a fury uninhibited by 15 months of continuous war.

The images from the hostage release in Gaza City shocked an Israeli public fed on myths of total victory. "After a year and four months, in which the public's eyes have been flooded with information and baseless narratives of stories of total victory and revenge, the Israeli public sees from Gaza images of Toyotas, armed Hamas members and Gaza rising from the ruins," journalist Israel Frey told Middle East Eye.

That said, the large-scale ground assault on the West Bank refugee camps was preplanned. But its timing was enough to keep Bezalel Smotrich, Israel's far right finance minister and de facto consul general of the occupied West Bank, in the cabinet when he threatened to resign over the ceasefire in Gaza.

The other item in Smotrich’s sweetie bag was the promise to clear out the army leadership.

If you think that Lt General Herzi Halevi, Israel’s top general who resigned this week, has done enough in Gaza to be considered the next recipient of an arrest warrant from the International Criminal Court (ICC), his replacement will be worth watching.

With the accompanying settler attack on the Palestinian town of Funduq, as Trump was lifting sanctions on its most violent lynch mobs, you could be forgiven for thinking that Israel had merely pressed the pause button on Gaza, only to unleash the same hell on the West Bank. Within hours, 10 bodies lay on the streets of Jenin, too dangerous to retrieve.

So has the pattern for Trump’s second term in office already been set, and is this what it looks like?

A repeat of the dream relationship?

No one can argue with the facts: all the pieces are in place for a repeat of the dream relationship with Israel achieved by Trump during his first term.

Trump allowed Israel to annex the occupied Golan Heights - a move destined, one day, to create war with Syria -to use the Abraham Accords as a lever to bury the Palestinian cause, and to move the US embassy to Jerusalem.

For his second and last term, Trump has appointed an ambassador in Mike Huckabee, who believes there is no such thing as a Palestinian, a defence secretary in Pete Hegseth, who said a Third Temple should be built on the ruins of Al Aqsa mosque, and a peace envoy in Steve Witkoff who wants to "relocate Gazans to Indonesia".

Trump himself has made it abundantly clear that he cares not one fig for the fate of seven million Palestinians.

Trump is interested, as is his son in law Jared Kushner, in Gaza as the largest demolition site in the world, if only for all that beachfront opportunity it represents: "Beautiful things could be done over there, fantastic things," the busy president opined.

But as for the people who live there, not one concern clouds his empty brain.

To be fair, Trump doesn’t care much for any Arab, rich or poor. His empathy with Saudi Arabia stretches just as far as Mohammed Bin Salman, the crown prince, is willing to open his wallet.

Asked about his first foreign trip, Trump remembered going to Riyadh the first time round, but only because Saudi had shelved out $450bn on American products. "I dont know, if Saudi Arabia wanted to buy another $450 billion, or $500 billion we will put it for inflation."

Oblivious to genocide, intent on being obeyed, surrounding himself with people who parrot Israel’s worst talking points, will Trump prove once again to be the perfect foil for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu? Will Netanyahu’s legacy policy really be the abortion of a Palestinian state before it was even born?

The answer I am reaching for is mixed. The dream ticket of Trump and an Israel wholly in the sway of religious Zionism is certainly there. Religious Zionism occupies a larger piece of Israel’s real estate today than it did in 2017 or ever before. It is no longer the unacceptable fringe.

It controls the occupation of the West Bank, the border police and it has infected the highest echelons of the army and crushed the courts. It is now a voice in the cabinet Netanyahu can not ignore and it has brought a Democrat president to heal. It is fully justified in expecting the unalloyed loyalty of the Trump administration.

All this is true. But neither Trump nor Netanyahu are living in the world they thought they had mastered in 2017.

Left to itself, free-wheeling Israel could be as potent a source of instability to the region and thus to Trump, as it was to Biden.

No country for old men

Netanyahu may have used his short meeting with Witkoff as an excuse to go for a ceasefire he could have secured in July last year, but there were also growing domestic reasons for doing so now.

Trump’s stop to the Gaza war only concerns the Israeli hostages. Once they are back, or most of them are, Israel can do what it wants in Gaza or the West Bank

The polls are, at face value, contradictory. Sixty-two percent of Israelis believe there are no innocents in Gaza, but between 60 and 70 percent support ending the war.

The reason for this discrepancy is a complete absence of any empathy with Palestinians.

Israelis are war weary merely and solely because of the cost they themselves have paid in the lives of soldiers and the injured, the cost to the economy, and the dent that the war has made on their easy western style of life to which this generation of Israeli feels is its birthright.

War, as my colleague Meron Rapoport observed, has become a heavy burden on the government, the military and society as a whole.

Israeli society is divided as never before. The weekly demonstrations by the families of hostages kept the pressure up on a government that argued in vain, and against all evidence, that only military action could bring the hostages back alive.

Team Trump is in lockstep with Israel's operation to dismantle the refugee camps in preparation for annexation. This is a recipe for disaster and much more conflict to come

Elise Stefanik, Trump’s nominee for US ambassador to the UN, believes that Israel has biblical dominion over Judea and Samaria, as she puts it. The Palestinians have no rights as a people and certainly not the same ones as Israelis, in her eyes.

It would be foolish to limit Netanyahu’s purpose to just this. He knows his action in Jenin will not only demolish the city, but the Palestinian Authority itself - a body already on life support.

It can not survive as an adjunct to the Israeli military machine in demolishing Jenin, Tulkarm, Nablus and all the other centres of resistance.

We can expect to see increasing defections from its armed and trained Preventive Security Force, as we saw in the Second Intifada.

This Netanyahu knows full well.

Never before had there been this level of internal dissent against a war as it was being fought.

The ceasefire in Lebanon did not relieve the pressure on Netanyahu. It increased it. Reading this, Netanyahu, who is approaching the halfway mark of his current term as premier, knows he will be wiped out at the next election if he continues like this.

Put to one side his responsibility for the 7 October attacks; since then over 400 soldiers have died and untold thousands have been injured. For what cause have they perished, if Hamas continues to flourish in the ruins of Gaza?

But if Israel is as war-weary as the polls suggest, why is it starting another one in the West Bank, and why has it occupied a greater amount of Syrian territory than it currently occupies in Gaza?

Partial annexation

For a start, Netanyahu is once again shrewd in his analysis of what Washington will tolerate.

Trump’s stop to the Gaza war only concerns the Israeli hostages. Once they are back, or most of them are, Israel can do what it wants in Gaza or the West Bank.

Asked about the future of the ceasefire while signing executive orders in the Oval Office, Trump said: "It’s not our war. It is their war. I am not confident. But I think they’re very weakened on the other side."

Second, the military onslaught in the West Bank and Halevi's replacement are the price of keeping Smotrich on side. And he is quite upfront about that. Smotrich said that the coming period will witness the replacement of the senior military leadership in preparation for the resumption of the war on the Gaza Strip.

Team Trump is also in lockstep with a West Bank operation to dismantle the refugee camps in preparation for partial annexation.

David Hearst continues:

Israel is so oblivious to the region it lives in, it does not even think it is worth bothering with in any other terms than acting as the biggest bully in the playground.

But if it goes ahead with its plans for the West Bank, Israel will further radicalise six million Palestinians in Jordan and millions of East Bankers as never before.

Trump’s US army will have to act, as it has so many assets and bases in the region which are supremely vulnerable to local public opinion of their host nation.

The Jordanian Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi has warned countless times of these consequences and been ignored. "The West Bank is on our borders and the situation is dangerous, and what is happening there could destabilise the security of the region," Safadi said.

Trump will not be in a position to ignore the collapse of Jordan if it happens. None of its neighbours will. It will not be just "their" problem, but his too. It would threaten the entire US military footprint in the region.

We are dealing with an American administration which has no idea who or what the Palestinians are. To a man and woman, they see the region through the prism of Israel.

America has always done this, but the myopia is even greater today.

This is a recipe for disaster and the seed of much more conflict to come. The anti-war platform Trump stood on will soon seem a distant memory.

"Clearly Donald Trump, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Trump's U.N. Ambassador Elise Stefanik will NOT vote for statehood for the Palestinian people during Trump's four year term.

GOP Senator Marco Rubio and Democratic Party Senator Chris Coons worked together in the deadly "bi-partisan spirit" to remove U.S. funding to Israel from the regular session business of any Congressional legislature and completely removed U.S. tax dollars to Israel from any budgetary constraints, considerations or cuts. How did they do that?

Rubio and Coons authored a bill that REMOVED Israeli funding from discretionary spending to non-discretionary spending. What does that mean?

That means that U.S. funding to Israel draws funds directly from the same, exact place that Social Security funds are drawn from: the General Fund.

The U.S. General fund is not funded by tax receipts - no. The U.S. General Fund is automatically funded by the U.S. Treasury "borrowing money" from the Federal Reserve.

Some economists call this money "fiat money," since the money was created out of thin air by the Chairman of the Federal Reserve at his keyboard in his office, who dutifully fills U.S. bank accounts at the U.S. Treasury Dept. with funds from the Federal Reserve.

That debt is called the deficit and the Federal Reserve sells U.S. Savings Bonds to raise money for the U.S. government to pay down the national debt and deficit - which happens to be the exact OPPOSITE of how our Founding Fathers intended our government to be funded.

If you're interested, you can read more about that here.

In other words, Rubio, Coons, Democrats and Republicans decided that funding Israel was more important than anything the America people want, so they decided to permanently fund Israel from the same place Social Security payments are made from.

This is why this new incoming Trump government cannot simply "cut Social Security" no more than they could "cut funds to Israel."

Any changes to non-discretionary spending items, such as Social Security and U.S. funding to Israel would require (60) that's SIXTY Senators to pass such changes, meaning it's not going to happen because it would require eight to ten minority party Senators (Democrats) to vote with the majority party (Republicans) to pass such a bill.

Again, Donald Trump and the Trump administration are the same people who forbid the use of the term, "Occupation" in any Trump literature - JUST LIKE THE DEMOCRATS AND THE DNC, who forbid the use of the term, "Palestinian" in any DNC literature.

Write this down: DONALD TRUMP AND THE TRUMP ADMIN WILL NOT BE VOTING FOR PALESTINIAN STATEHOOD AT THE U.N. SECURITY COUNCIL FOR THE NEXT FOUR YEARS, BUT TRUMP WILL KEEP AMERICAN BOMBS FLOWING TO ISRAEL FOR THE NEXT FOUR YEARS.

Remember, Trump doesn't stand for anything or anybody unless it serves his own interests.

Palestinians have nothing to offer Trump - unlike Netanyahu, Israelis and American Jewish donors who flood Trump's coffers with kosher cash.

Objectively speaking Donald Trump poses as much of a grave threat to the Palestinian people as Joe Biden did, giving Bibi the Butcher BIDEN BOMBS every day for over a year until Biden left office on January 20, 2025.

What do you think happened to President Biden's standing orders to the Pentagon to ship U.S. bombs and weapons to Israel every 24 hours? Do you think Trump rescinded Biden's orders? Nope. He didn't.

As we speak, Trump's Pentagon is continuing to ship American bombs and weapons to Israel every 24 hours, in preparation for the day Netanyahu decides to end the ceasefire and resumes Israel's tent bombing campaign and land theft.

The American people must realize that the longstanding goal of Zionism and Israel is to expand the State of Israel, as the Old Testament describes it, "from the river to the sea."

Israelis suffer a sociopathic religious belief they call, "Greater Israel" that tells them Jews own parts of Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, Egypt, Saudi Arabia and Iraq, and those indigenous Muslims and Arabs are troublemaking squatters living on borrowed time and Jewish land.

Israelis religiously believe that every inch of Palestinian land belongs to Israel and Palestinians are simply troublemaking squatters living on borrowed time and Israeli land.

U.S. Christian Zionist Presidents and Senators believe the same thing and hold the same commitment to help Israel achieve their national goal Israelis call, "Greater Israel."

Israelis believe the same exact thing about parts of Jordan, Syria, Egypt, Iraq and Saudi Arabia.

But that's not what U.S. officials and media tell the American people.

They never talk about "Greater Israel" and Israel's true national intentions and singular goal.

Instead, U.S. officials and the U.S. Ziomedia lie to the American people repeatedly for years and decades and it sounds like this:

"The precious Jews just want to live in peace and harmony with the Palestinians, but dirty old Hamas won't allow the Palestinian people to live in peace and harmony because Hamas is teaching them to hate Jews and kill all the Jews.

Hamas just wants to kill all the Jews, so we the Israelis are going to keep killing Palestinians until we kill the last Palestinian willing to fight for freedom from another 75 years of US-backed Israeli occupation, mass murder, mass imprisonment, genocide."

DailyBeastie reminds the enraged reader that Hamas leader Sinwar repeatedly responded over the years to the accusation that Hamas is racist and just wants to kill all the Jews: We don't target Jews because they are Jews. We target Jews because Jews kill our people and steal our land. It has nothing to do with religion.

Of course the U.S. Ziomedia would never show the American people what Sinwar and other Palestinian resistance leaders have said over the years.

Instead the U.S. media mischaracterizes Hamas as crazy racist killers whose singular, ultimate goal is to kill all the Jews for being Jews, when in fact the very opposite is true: it is the Israelis who subscribe to their fanatical, crazy religious belief that Israel has a right to kill Palestinans and steal their land.

Recently President-elect Trump told Netanyahu to hurry up and “finish the job” of eliminating Hamas.

Netanyahu undoubtedly told Trump Yes, we will finish the job as long as the U.S. continue to ship U.S. weapons to Israel every 24 hours.

Trump probably told Netanyahu that he wants to be seen as a Man of Peace and wants a ceasefire to begin the day Trump is inaugurated.

Netanyahu must have told Trump, No problem, as long as you realize Israel must resume our War on Hamas after the ceasefire or Israel will suffer more October 7 attacks.

Trump being the Muslim-hating, transactionalist sociopath that he is, agreed that yes, Israel must eliminate Hamas and resume bombing.

Remember when people wondered why in the hell was President-elect Trump talking about annexing Greenland and the Panama Canal?

I believe Trump got that from Netanyahu, when Bibi explained to Trump that Netanyahu plans to annex Gaza or Israel will suffer more October 7 attacks.

Human nature is monkey see, monkey do, and Donald Trump thought he should annex somebody’s else’s land too.

Transactionalist Trump appreciated the way Netanyahu sold Trump the idea of land theft as official annexation business of the Israeli government.

Trump said he wants his Presidential legacy to be one of the Great Peacemaker, making Peace all over the world - except for Palestine because everbody knows that Israel can’t stop bombing Palestinians until the last Hamas fighter is killed. (indefinite war on Palestinians)

Low IQ Trump doesn’t possess the compassion, intellect or mental capacity to realize that as soon as Netanyahu resumes tent bombing 101 in Gaza, the horrific images and videos of children and babies whose heads, arms and legs were blown clean off by TRUMP BOMBS, will fill American social media and Trump will be very displeased - but displeased with who? Displeased with Netanyahu for killing kids with TRUMP BOMBS? No. Trump will be displeased with Americans who POST IMAGES AND VIDEOS OF WHAT TRUMP BOMBS ARE DOING TO KIDS.

Remember and don’t forget, Donald Trump is a very dangerous person in the most powerful position in the world, yet Trump has the IQ of a doorknob, the scruples of serial rapist, and is filled with fascist dreams and delusions of grandeur.

I predict that President Trump will continue to give Israel bombs every 24 hours just as Biden has done, while Trump explains and justifies his arming Israel as a necessary act to protect freedom and democracy in the Middle East.

Netanyahu relies on the simple fact that Donald Trump is too stupid and indifferent to the suffering of others to realize that the Palestinian people are in possession of the legal right to exist on their homeland WITHOUT US-backed Israeli occupation, and do in fact enjoy a legal right as a civilian population under the Geneva Conventions to form and maintain armed resistance groups to protect and defend the Palestinian people and Palestinian land.

Trump is way too stupid to realize that Hamas is not from Mars and does not recruit from Venus, but are PALESTINIANS WHOSE LOVED ONES WERE MURDERED BY NETANYAHU OVER THE PAST DECADES AND DECADES.

Trump is either too stupid or too indifferent to realize that Israel will never “eliminate Hamas” without killing each and every one of the 2.1 million Palestinians living in Gaza.

Trump is too indifferent to care that “eliminating Hamas,” “rooting out Hamas” is a categorically unattainable goal, nor does Israel or the U.S. have any legal right to dictate what form of government Palestinians select and vote for.

Hillary “Hellbags” Clinton said, had she known that the Palestinian people were going to elect Hamas as their government, she would have never allowed elections in Palestine.

The Palestinian people were so wise they asked Jimmy Carter to come preside over the elections and Jimmy Carter did serve as official election monitor when the Palestinian people elected Hamas as their government in 2006.

President Carter said these Palestinian elections were the most fair elections he had ever observed in his years serving as international elections monitor - which made Hillary Clinton’s blood boil like boiling coffee.
