Chinese news website Guancha on 27 October published a short article headlined: “Netanyahu was revealed to have refused to sign the approval of the Israeli army's ground attack on the Gaza Strip for fear of the failure of the operation.” The article’s an example of the reach Outlaw US Empire’s BigLie Media Complex has in the world as much is cited from the <i>NY Times</i>.
More posturing and a war of words. Netanyahu now has to figure out how to avoid losing face when returning to some form of the status quo pre-ante. He might be gone no matter what. The confidence in the security of Israeli settlements at its border has been shattered, fence or no fence.
Netanyahu's aim is to avoid prison for his crimes of corruption; it's as simple as that, and he will do whatever advances that interest. It would be great if a 1/2 ton cinder block fell on his head from a clear blue sky and ended his misery.
Ethnic cleansing can be achieved slowly or in a rush. Certainly up until now it has been an agonising gradual crime against humanity such that no major nation has called enough is enough. Netanyahoo and his crony cabal of killers have all the time in the world. Already they have achieved far more than they ever thought possible in one term. Given another month or two and they will have perfected some tangible spin to self aggrandise whilst keeping the Westie sheep calmly following along. Meanwhile Palestinians will be slaughtered, denied the sustenance of life and culture, infuriated at their trapped perpetual persecution.
The emerging world team might do something good here, but then again they might just simply bide their time, decline the gamble on aiding in humanitarian support in any real sense, and send in shovels for the digging of graves. Time will tell.
I would think the immediate response from the blowhards in Turkey and the other Arab states should loudly affirm the 1967 borders, send a flotilla of aid to the Gaza shores, commence building landing facilities sufficient to maintain a growing supply line of the necessities of life and trade and tell the Illegal Occupier and apartheid torturer to stand down. Simultaneously there might be a little repossession in order in the Golan. But I strive for a just world and a severe control over zionist scum.
Thanks uncle. IMO, the world response is happening but building as it takes time to coordinate all the players within the Global Majority. The UNGA vote was a needed first step for action to follow. The Empire's Ukraine gambit is now a clear loser, although it has yet to be finished.
Response to Karl Sanchez "Guancha Reports on Netanyahu's Dilemma"
I don't believe Netanyahu "got cold feet". In fact, Crooke's latest says the Israeli military are even more hawkish on entering Gaza than Netanyahu. Netanyahu has no choice - and every desire - to enter Gaza. If he doesn't, as Crooke says, the entire IDF and Israeli civilian belief system will be destroyed.
Then there is the notion promoted by some that the Biden administration is trying to prevent Israel from entering Gaza. All the evidence I can see indicates that the only reason Biden and Netanyahu would like to wait is for the rest of the US military buildup in the region to be finished.
The two new US carrier battle groups being sent to the Middle East won't arrive for perhaps a week or ten days. There is no hurry for Netanyahu to enter Gaza in full force. So far the IDF appear to be merely conducting reconnaissance missions, which is what one would expect. Since all the military analysts are saying "Israel isn't prepared for this" - as Scott Ritter said, the US military advisors sent to Israel are undoubtedly telling the IDF that - there is every reason to believe that Israel will hold off perhaps for weeks.
Doesn't change the overall situation.. Four carrier groups in the Middle East means the US is preparing for war. Period. End of story.
From 2022:
Why aircraft carriers are no longer a constant in the Middle East
"This combined force represents one of the largest US naval deployments in these waters since June 1983, when four US carrier groups were in the Eastern Mediterranean and, later in the year, when two carriers and the battleship USS New Jersey bombed and shelled terrorist positions in Lebanon."
In other words, this level of force has not been seen since 1983. As a "deterrent"? I don't think so.
thanks karl and thanks Surferket... relevant quote -
"What China opposes is that the draft resolution attempts to establish a new narrative on the Palestinian question, ignoring the fact that the Palestinian territory has been occupied for a long time and evading the fundamental issue of independent statehood for the Palestinian people."
i would also like to point out any ground offensive in gaza - the israelis can't know if someone is innocent or a member of hamas... they can't know... so of course there is going to be a ton of indiscriminate murder and mayhem on the part of israel here..

Huge US Naval Force Off Israel Comes With Costs

I'm mostly in agreement with you. My aim was to provide this Chinese POV, which differs from the official CPC line that was also included.
