Larry Johnson : Western credibility is being destroyed

➡ The conflict between Israelis and Palestinians has resulted in a high death toll, with around 45,000 Palestinians killed. Despite this, Hamas in Gaza has not been defeated. There have been no peace talks since July, and there are doubts about Israel’s commitment to a ceasefire. Meanwhile, the world is watching Iran and Hezbollah, while violence in Gaza continues, albeit at a slower pace due to Israel’s focus on other issues.

So, the Israelis are killing Palestinian civilians at a rate of 8 to 1, minimum, but that number has now changed because now they’ve killed approaching 45,000 Palestinian men, women and children in this indiscriminate bombing. And yet, after 11 months, 12 months now, in Gaza, they have not defeated Hamas. And yet, this delusional windbag, he’s going to take on Syria, he’s going to take on the Houthis, he’s going to take on Iran. Good luck with that. What is the status of the war in Gaza? There have been no meetings with negotiators since July. Does everyone involved in the so-called negotiations recognize, at least to themselves, if not publicly, that Netanyahu was not serious about any ceasefire? The media attention, of course, is on Hezbollah and waiting and wondering what, if anything, Iran is going to do.

But is the killing still going on in Gaza? It had a reduced rate, thank God, because the Israelis are distracted with what’s going on up along the border with Lebanon. But I don’t see any chance for negotiations going forward, particularly in light of what we heard from the Iranian President, and pedestrian. He announced yesterday that he had been promised, the West, the United States, and Europe, and told him, look, hold off, don’t retaliate over the assassination of Haniya. If you hold off, if you show restraint, man, we’re going to give you money, we’re going to lift those sanctions, we’ll bring you back into the community of nations, we’ll be friends.

And Pajeskian, a dummy, believed him. Well, now he comes out, he goes, they lied to me. No kidding. Well, didn’t they watch what happened to Putin and the Minsk agreements? The West lied there. So what’s happening right now is Western credibility is being destroyed, and the West doesn’t even recognize it, doesn’t even care. But enough countries out there, I think, are going to wake up and go, Americans, Europeans, you can’t trust a damn thing, they say. [tr:trw].
