Uncovering America’s Central Role in The Genocidal Assault on Gaza
“Israel's” military strikes in Gaza are brutal manifestations of its role as the United States' aggressive enforcer in the Middle East. Fueled by extensive U.S. military aid, “Israel’s” actions are not merely self-defense but a deliberate, oppressive campaign that serves U.S. imperialistic ambitions in the region. This “alliance” has led to relentless and disproportionate assaults on Gaza, which reflect a calculated, U.S.-sanctioned strategy to dominate, subjugate and remove. These actions are morally reprehensible, reflecting a callous disregard for human life and international norms under the guise of security and strategic interests.
When figures like John Kirby, the Strategic Communications Coordinator for the National Security Council, respond with palpable defensiveness to questions about ”Israeli” military actions, it reveals more than just a strategic alliance
“It’s happening. I admit that. Each one’s a tragedy, but it’s not like the Israelis are sitting around every morning and saying, ‘Hey, how many more civilians can we kill today? Let’s go bomb a school or a hospital or a residential building and just cause civilian casualties.'”
Kirby’s specific defensive remarks, aimed at deflecting criticism by downplaying the intent behind civilian casualties, inadvertently peel back layers of the almost parental relationship between the US and Israel, revealing a coalition that’s more than a conventional alliance. "Naturally, Kirby was being dishonest as usual, and that's precisely the IOF's actions."
At the very moment of Kirby’s defensive remarks, a U.S. RC-135 Rivet Joint patrolled the coast of Gaza, providing air support and intelligence to the IOF for targeting optimization.
Direct Involvement
The United States plays a critical role in Israel’s military operations, significantly influencing their strategies and actions with sophisticated intelligence and logistical support. Beyond providing weapons and financial aid, the U.S. actively participates in orchestrating assaults on Gaza, directly affecting the planning and execution of military campaigns.
A key aspect of this collaboration is the “buddy lasing” strategy. In this approach, the U.S. leverages its advanced surveillance technology to precisely identify and highlight targets, then communicates this information to the IOF, directing them to conduct strikes.
Critical to these efforts include advanced assets such as MQ-9 Reaper drones, RC-135 Rivet Joint and systems like the Beechcraft MC-12W Liberty which deliver real-time intelligence and surveillance for pinpoint accuracy in targeting. The United States not only provides the incendiary munitions that are banned under international law, US drone operators advise the IOF of “strategic” strike locations or carry out strikes directly.
When the considerable presence of the "hunt and kill" Reaper drone raised questions, US officials claimed to be engaged in hostage recovery efforts. However, despite its two-month presence in the area, there is no substantiated evidence of successful hostage recovery efforts. Instead, reports continue to surface detailing extensive and ruthless destruction, coupled with evidence suggesting the deployment of munitions exclusive to the MQ-9 drone.
“Whilst within the Nicosia Region FIR (Flight information region) The Air Traffic Control requested aircraft type to which they replied “ Unable at this time “The accent is noteable.”
The surveillance and targeting systems of these drones are profoundly capable, allowing for detailed observation and thorough analysis of targets prior to engagement. Using sophisticated sensors, cameras, and radar systems, they’re able to deliver extensive insights into the target area, revealing not just the presence of individuals but also their movements and age characteristics. Moreover, following strikes that lead to building collapses, these drones are typically capable of continuing to track heat signatures until they dissipate, providing a persistent awareness of the impact and aftermath.
They can see everything.
The ethical implications of such operations and the impact on those who operate these drones raise questions about how they cope with the consequences of their actions and the toll it takes on their conscience. Notably, this is the same drone has been associated with civilian deaths and significant damage in regions such as Afghanistan, Yemen, Libya, and Syria.
Consequences
These actions have severely affected civilian structures like homes, schools, hospitals, and places of worship. Since October 7, there have been 19,000 strikes resulting in 29,915 Palestinian deaths in Gaza, with reports indicating 70% of these are women and children.
The pattern of targeting civilian infrastructure began with an attack on the al-Fakhoora school in the Jabalia refugee camp. Following this, there were strikes on al-Nasser Children's Hospital, al-Wafa Hospital's power systems, and 134 other hospitals. The conflict has displaced 1,920,000 people, destroyed 65,000 homes, ruined 305 schools, and partially damaged 180,000 homes. It is reported that approximately 7,000 Palestinians remain under the rubble still alive. Daily attacks continue on civilians, refugee camps, and ambulances, leading to widespread international condemnation and urgent calls from the UN for a ceasefire and humanitarian aid.
“Unconditional Support”
The US support for Israeli attacks on Palestinians is not new. During Operation Cast Lead they provided weapons, air support and significant financial backing.These assaults have always included medical facilities and in 2021, the IOF bombed the offices of news outlets and media organizations.
In the last two months, these operations have since claimed the lives of 100 journalists and over 150 UNRWA workers. The attempts to suppress Palestinian voices should be causing widespread concern. If Israel was anything else but the executor of American foreign policy in the middle east, perhaps it would.
Instead, the U.S has raised doubts about the reported number of casualties, (not providing supporting evidence for these doubts), and has repeatedly blocked ceasefire initiatives continuing a pattern seen in previous years. This is happening even despite the reams of evidence emerging from observers both national and international of Israeli crimes in Gaza. Of course, none of this is new to America. It was their training that made it possible.
Practice Makes War
The underlying agenda behind operations becomes more apparent upon examining the long-term joint training operations carried out by the US, the IOF and its allies. They have rigorously prepared for command and control operations, aimed to bolster their interoperability between allied forces. Official narratives frequently reference Iran, implying that the exercises and weapons dispatched to the area aim to “convey a message”.
Yet, a review of these training exercises and recent operations shows notable parallels that these maneuvers have been practice runs for intense and widely disputed military specific operations on Gaza.
Flight data since October 07th 2023
The array of military drills and exercises extends well beyond the usual patronage of the IOF, roping in numerous other nations and starkly illustrating Israel’s deep integration into a broader, hegemonic geopolitical agenda. These operations, ostensibly designed to "underscore the commitment to ensuring security and stability in the region," in reality, reflect the United States' forceful imposition of its will on allies. This coercion ensures compliance with a global defense strategy that serves U.S. interests and perpetuates its dominance. Far from merely maintaining regional security, the true nature of these exercises is an aggressive and premeditated preparation for assaults on Gaza, laying bare the U.S.'s ambitions to maintain and extend its hegemonic grip over the Middle East's political landscape.
It is not a coincidence that every major joint military training operation over the last 10 years has taken place either on aircraft carriers in the Mediterranean in front of the Gaza Strip or in the Negev desert, both locations where the U.S. has permanently stationed assets.
The design of these training operations revealed in flight data and promotional videos of the exercises aligns closely with the violent assaults observed in Gaza, demonstrated by the clear parallels between the tactics, mission and assets used in exercises and those executed in real combat scenarios. There have been dozens of these, almost too many to list, but this is a quick summary of some of the most recent.
Juniper Oak (January 2023): This exercise between the U.S. Central Command and the IOF was conducted in the Mediterranean. It included over 140 aircraft, 12 naval assets, and integrated U.S. and Israeli forces. More than 6,400 U.S. troops and 1,500 Israeli troops participated
Red Flag Exercise (March 12-24, 2023): Held at Nellis Air Force Base, Nevada, USA, this exercise included the U.S. Navy, Marine Corps, Space Force, Air National Guard, and 140 Squadron from Nevatim Air Base. Aircraft involved included F-35 Lightning II, B-1B Lancer, and E-3G Sentry.
Intrinsic Defender (2023): A bilateral exercise between the U.S. 5th Fleet and the Israeli Navy, held in Haifa. It focused on maritime security, explosive ordnance disposal, and unmanned systems integration. Over 50 U.S. service members participated along with Israeli counterparts.
Juniper Cobra (November 2022): Conducted by the IOF and U.S. Central Command, focusing on air defense, cyber security, intelligence, and logistics.
UK-”Israel” Naval Exercise (June 2022): Part of the "Mighty Waves 2019" exercise, held off Palestine’s Mediterranean shore, it included ten navies, with ships from the U.S., Greece, France, and participation from the UK at a headquarters level
Miscellaneous Joint Air Defense Exercises (JADEX): Exercises, like JADEX 19-01, enhance the readiness of air defense assets in the US Central Command (CENTCOM) area, involving soldiers, sailors, and airmen from CENTCOM working with regional partners. The exercises include live-fly portions with various aircraft and defense assets, focusing on command and control tactics, techniques, and procedures to develop joint coalition capabilities.
Red Sea Naval Drill (November 2021) Located in the Red Sea, this exercise included United States, Bahrain, the IOF, United Arab Emirates. The goals were to “strengthen naval cooperation, demonstrate maritime capabilities, and enhance regional security”
Tri-Lightning II Exercise (June 29, 2021) This exercise took place aboard the Queen Elizabeth aircraft. “ PPP carrier and included the Israeli Air Force, U.S. Marine Corps, Royal Air Force. With the focus on offensive operations, enhance interoperability of F-35s, and share tactics for complex air combat scenarios.
Blue Guardian (July 12, 2021):Location: Palmachim Air Force Base, This exercise was held in Israel with the United States, Germany, Italy, France, United Kingdom, and the IOF. Their official goal was to “Strengthen international RPAV cooperation, enhance operational standards, and share expertise in drone technologies”
Juniper Falcon Series This series is held in various locations, including Israel and Germany. The U.S. and IOF worked together to “improve ballistic missile defense, “crisis response”, and strengthen U.S.-IOF military cooperation and readiness against a range of threats.
These operations include command and control exercises, air operations in maritime surface warfare, combat search and rescue, Intelligence, Surveillance, Reconnaissance (ISR), and readiness drills. Ground Combat Command are bolstered by a specialized “urban warfare training facility”. This facility, replicating Gaza's urban environment, shows the extent of U.S. preparation for military engagements. Adjacent to "Little Gaza" is a base housing thousands of reservists, including paratroopers, tanks, infantry, and other regular army units.
This level of preparedness suggests a strategy focused not merely on conflict participation but on a systematic dismantling of Gaza's infrastructure and defense capabilities. Situated a mere 20 kilometers from the actual Gaza Strip, soldiers engage in their maneuvers amid mock buildings and streets, a grim rehash for the real-life devastation they may inflict.
Despite Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin's assurances in 2021 regarding developing strategies to reduce civilian harm at this facility, the ongoing toll of civilian casualties paints a different and troubling picture. It underscores a relentless dedication to mastering the art of urban warfare, with real homes and real lives just a short distance away. The continuous suffering of Palestinian civilians starkly exposes the hypocrisy of such claims, revealing a prioritization of military dominance over basic human compassion.
Boots on the ground
Despite mixed messaging regarding the deployment of US troops to the region from officials, frequent sightings of English-speaking Americans on the ground in Gaza suggest a familiar pattern, not to mention the footage of the departure of hundreds of troops.
It's reminiscent of past scenarios where the U.S. publicly minimized its involvement, like in Special Forces operations in Afghanistan or Iraq, only for the full extent of its engagement to later unravel. This habitual discrepancy between public statements and actual actions highlights the US habit of misleading narratives and lack of transparency regarding U.S. military operations abroad.
The United States operates 2 carrier strike groups in the Mediterranean Sea to offer aerial aid to the IOF. These groups each consist of about 7,500 personnel and are structured around a central aircraft carrier. Additionally, they include at least one cruiser, a squadron of destroyers or frigates with a minimum of two ships, and a carrier air wing comprising 65 to 70 aircraft.
Another crucial facet of the partnership between the U.S. and Israel is the enigmatic and often-contested component known as Facility 512, located in the Negev desert near the border with Gaza. This radar base, set up in 2008 under the Bush administration as a segment of a broader $1 billion military support deal to Israel, is vital in identifying missile dangers, whether actual or perceived, especially those originating from Iran.
Managed under the U.S. European Command (EUCOM), Site 512 houses numerous U.S. Air Force members and was initially run by Raytheon, before transitioning to direct U.S. military control. Positioned inside the Irael’s Air Force's Mashabim base, the facility is heavily guarded, encased by tall walls and surveillance systems. While classified, the precise details of its location and capabilities remain undisclosed to the public.
This involvement is contradictory to the professed goals of peacekeeping and stability, with the U.S. appearing to prioritize tactical advantage over diplomatic solutions. Such actions reflect the true intentions behind these training operations and their long-term negative impact on regional peace and civilian lives.
It’s no mystery to those who are closely following developments that American troops, despite official disavowals, have been actively involved in Gaza operations for several months. The construction of a personnel base raises questions about the need for such infrastructure if these actions were not taking place. Nonetheless, there persist ongoing deceptions and denials.
None of this is about defense or security; it's about power, control, and the continued exploitation of a region torn by decades of conflict. In this narrative, the people of Gaza aren't just civilians; they're pawns in a larger game of geopolitical chess, with every move calculated to maintain dominance rather than seek alternative means of conflict resolution.
Weapons
According to the U.S. Department of State, the United States has provided Israel with over $130 billion in bilateral assistance since its establishment in 1948. This assistance has been said to have been primarily focused on addressing emerging security challenges, bridging Israeli capability gaps through security aid and cooperation, enhancing interoperability through joint exercises, and ensuring the IOF’s Qualitative Military Edge (QME).
This assistance has included the provision of advanced weaponry such as guided missiles, F-35 fightrs, and a proposed additional $14.3 billion in aid for air and missile defenses, notably the Iron Dome system. The White House has also worked to streamline access to U.S. weapons through the WRSA-I program, eliminating restrictions and expanding the availability of pre-positioned arms caches in Israel.
In terms of munitions, the U.S. has delivered over 5,000 Mk82 unguided bombs, more than 5,400 Mk84 2,000-pound warhead bombs, around 1,000 GBU-39 small diameter bombs, and approximately 3,000 JDAMs. Furthermore, 57,000 155 MM shells have been shipped to Israel.
The continued prospect of deploying B-2 stealth bombers and giving Israel access to advanced bunker-buster munitions, is a strategic step toward nuclear warfare or nuclear demolitions, a dangerous precedent, but one which the United States often flirts with.
Additionally, StemRad, an Israeli-owned American company, secured a $4.5 million contract with the U.S. Department of Defense to supply radiation protection shields, known as 360 Gamma belts, for the U.S. National Guard. These shields are intended for use by soldiers and airmen responding to domestic radiological incidents, such as dirty bombs, terrorist attacks, military threats, or nuclear reactor meltdowns.
These developments are part of a broader strategy that extends beyond military considerations, notably with a focus on things like untapped marine resources near the Gaza Strip. Additionally, there is a proposed canal that would establish a shipping corridor through Palestinian territories, serving as a strategic maritime thoroughfare or buffer zone, potentially reshaping regional power dynamics, and countering China’s Belt and Road Initiative.
This or something similar is likely why we are witnessing an indiscriminate demolition that disregards human life, property and infrastructure using large large-scale explosions. They have carried out these industrial-scale demolition operations the same way they would had there not been a civilian population present.
U.S. military involvement in Gaza isn't driven by immediate threats or regional stability. Instead, it is a pivotal stepping-stone component of a comprehensive strategy aimed at preserving American influence in the Middle East and countering global rivals like China and Russia. Ambitious and dangerous trade infrastructure projects are likely part of this plan, strategically designed to try to advance U.S. interests and maintain hegemony by any means possible.
Despite the U.S.'s efforts and the tragic outcomes of its actions, it's unlikely to retain global dominance. U.S. sanctions have inadvertently strengthened the alliance between China and Russia, where isolation has spurred self-sufficiency and the creation of mutually beneficial global partnerships. As they establish alternative trade networks like Russia's Northern Sea Route, they diminish Western influence, signaling a shift towards a multi-polar world order.
These operations are what the U.S. considers priority spending.The military budget's rose to $886 billion, with a $45 billion increase, redirects taxpayer dollars from $1.3 trillion social program funding. This shift, totaling $761.681 billion in approved defence spending, highlights a prioritization of killing innocents over domestic welfare.
We believed we'd recognize the onset of World War III when it was here, but part of this war seems designed to make us believe it's not happening. With escalating steps in the Middle East, it's clear that preparations have been long in the making and its even more clear that they will fail.
Like Ukraine... no difference.... USA wants that war, helped prepare for it, supports it, manages it... May that Part of the US RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS GO TO HELL AND STAY THERE... NEVER TO COME BACK.... ... The Price Of Freedom Is Constant Alertness And Willingness To Fight Bac, There Is No Other Price.
There are 2 things that are limitless in the US
They are limitless evil and limitless Hipocrits
My only wishes are
a, civil war in the the land of the slaves of Zion {USA....)
b, the Zionists scum will be send entirely to a island in the arctic
Only then can be relative peace on earth
