Israel’s
days are numbered if Jerusalem is recognized as Capital

DAMASCUS,
SYRIA (10:38 A.M)- The end of the state of Israel could be close as
the United States moves to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of ‘the
Jewish state’.
Israelis
as well as zionists, the world over, currently rejoice in the US
decision to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of their state, but at
what cost will such a move come to them?
Israel
are currently in perhaps the weakest position they have ever found
themselves in, within the region.
Israel’s
current position in the Middle-East (briefly):
Israel’s
position, perhaps for the first time since its inception, is one of
weakness and true desperation in the Middle-East. A strong alliance
formed between Syria, Iran, Iraq, Lebanon’s Hezbollah and other
resistance factions has left the Israeli state on the back foot.
The
possibility of an Israeli attack upon Lebanon – although they
threaten carrying it out – would at this point be a suicide mission
for the state. Lebanon’s Hezbollah has developed into a fully
capable army, gaining newly acquired fighting experience in Syria as
well as having the experience of fighting Israel itself.
The
group (Hezbollah), which successfully crushed the IDF invasion back
in 2006 is now much more capable of taking the fight to Israel and
would more than likely be fighting inside of Israeli occupied
territory in a new confrontation, rather than simply defending
Lebanese territory.
Syria’s
forces have all but cleansed Daesh (IS) from their territory and have
gained the much needed fighting experience, necessary to confront
Israel, as well as forming a strong alliance with Russia, Iran, Iraq
and Lebanon.
Despite Israeli attacks, Syria Army keeps advancing near occupied Golan Heights
The
Iraqi army has also undergone a massive recovery and has proven
strength through its latest victory against Kurdish forces in Kirkuk.
Notably, in the process of defeating Kurdish forces and taking back
their oil fields, they knocked out roughly around 77% of Israel’s
cheaply imported oil.
Iran
also has proved its military capabilities and is a supporter of all
the mentioned Arab governments and resistance organizations. If
Israel was to indeed launch an attack upon Iran – as it has alluded
to doing – this would surely be a suicide mission.
Israel
has a strong air-force, but this would not prevent any sort of
counter attack upon the state. Often Israeli officials brag about the
US granted Iron Dome defense system, unfortunately for these
officials, in practice the overly hyped air defense system hasn’t
lived up to the challenges it faced. Another note on Iron Dome is
that it only operates in major Israeli cities.
The
zionist entity could not even win in any onslaught upon Hamas in
Gaza, in fact they ended ‘operation protective edge’ back in 2014
out of fear. The sheer amount of casualties it would’ve inevitably
taken, fighting Hamas forces in a ground invasion scared the state
enough to end the fighting. Hamas are now notably receiving most of
their support from Iran.
The
Israeli state is surrounded by tough opponents, that for the first
time in history, have a real chance at inflicting significant damage
upon them. This is largely their own doing, creating the environments
in which such resistance organizations and strong Arab armies could
form.
Israel’s
domestic position (briefly):
The
Likud party have come under fire from both the left and right in
Israel. Many right wing Israeli’s are turning to other political
parties who they see as much more fit for the role of commanding the
state. Netanyahu’s government has attempted to restore his image
amongst the Israeli right, through offering much support to illegal
settler organizations and groups who seek to expand illegal colonies,
also destroying Palestinian villages in area C of the West Bank.
The
left wing also seem to have had enough with Netanyahu and Likud. The
recent corruption investigations have even fueled sizable protests.
Historically the descent in Israeli society has been present but at a
very minimal level, with the current demonstrations proving to be
foreign to the government. Israelis, in general, are not angry at the
oppressive policies of their government against the Palestinians, but
still non-the-less are fighting amongst themselves and seem lost in
terms of their political approach to their states direction. Such a
toxic environment, which can be very vividly illustrated by simply
observing the state of Israeli Knesset meetings, is one of real
unrest.
Possible
national suicide?
With
the recognition of Jerusalem as the Capital of the Israeli state, the
Palestinian Authority (PA) has basically been given an ultimatum,
resist or completely submit to Israeli land theft and oppression.
Recognition by the United States of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital
means that the international consensus, which calls for a two state
settlement of the conflict between Palestinians and Israelis, will be
completely nullified.
Donald
Trump will have openly accepted Israel’s illegal annexation of East
Jerusalem and effectively sided with Israel in their endeavors to
take all land belonging to Palestinians for themselves.
A
unity deal between Hamas and the Palestinian Authority (PA), which
was struck back in September of this year, means that both major
Palestinian governmental parties are united in their struggle against
their occupier. Unity between Palestinians is very key, as now the
only option left for the PA is resistance.
Three
days of rage have been called upon by the PA, the al-Aqsa brigades
have begun talks of reforming/reacting, Hamas have also issued a
warning and along with this, Fatah have threatened an intifada.
With
Israel in such a weak position in the region and falling apart
internally, it has desperately been attempting to form open alliances
with similar states to itself – namely Saudi Arabia – but is not
seeming to help itself greatly in doing so.
What
comes next is something incredibly difficult to predict, but as it
stands, Israel may be facing its final days.
