| Israel Now Faces at Least 5 Enemies on 5 Fronts |
| 2023-12-14 |
| [Breitbart] The State of Israel is fighting the Palestinian Hamas terror organization in Gaza, but that is just one front in an ongoing war against terror groups and their sponsors. In fact, Israel currently faces at least five enemies on five fronts. They are: 1. Hamas – Gaza and the West Bank. Israel has invaded Gaza and is determined to destroy Hamas’s capabilities there. But Hamas also has terror cells in the West Bank, and they have carried out several attacks in the weeks since the war started. 2. Hezbollah – Lebanon. The Iranian-backed terror group Hezbollah has been launching sporadic attacks on Israel’s northern region since Hamas attacked Israel on October 7. Israel has kept its response restrained, but faces the prospect of a broader war. 3. Syria. Syria has been formally in a state of war with Israel for decades. Russia and Iran have turned Syria into a puppet after intervening for Bashar al-Assad in the Syrian civil war, and there have been attacks on Israel from across the Syrian border. 4. Houthis – Yemen. Iran backs the Houthi rebels — whom President Joe Biden delisted as a terror group in 2021 — and they have been firing missiles and launching drones against Israel, as well as seizing ships and threatening Red Sea shipping lanes. 5. Iran. Iran is the force behind all of the terror groups and client states attacking Israel; the rest of the Arab world had been moving toward peace with the Jewish state, under the Abraham Accords. Meanwhile, Iran continues to pursue nuclear weapons. The list could be longer, since there are Iranian-backed militias in Iraq that are attacking U.S. forces as a proxy for Israeli targets. Israel also has peace treaties with Egypt and Jordan, and participates in the Abraham Accords with the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Morocco, and Sudan. None of those countries has abandoned peace with Israel since the start of the ongoing war. All of the enemies that Israel faces, in fact, are controlled by the Iranian regime. Hamas has been disappointed that its attack on October 7, while celebrated by protests in Arab cities and on western university campuses, has not let to broader Arab support. |

| #10 Though to be fair, on reflection it occurs to me that the non-Iran client Sunnis have targets more local than Israel, making my dreadfully clever point utterly moot. Bummer. :-( |

| #9 The terror axis of the shia crescent led by iran. And the other terror axis of the Sunnis led by multiple points — Turkey, overly pious Gulf Arabs (but I think not the government of Saudi Arabia any longer, or not as openly), Al Qaeda and ISIS franchises, all those other feeder groups around the world… |

| #7 Define frequently. The Chans are full of anti-semites. And I hang out on the Chans. I never heard anyone insult a jew by calling them a globalist. That's silly. And I never heard a globalist referenced as jew. Except for the cliche Jews control the world meme. Is there a such thing as false usage of false usage. |

| #6 The fronts I see: The geo-political axis of commie globalists. The cultural axis of the woke mind virus. The terror axis of the shia crescent led by iran. And what I would call the political pressure front of non-aligned bloc of anti-west nations. Aligned only in being anti all things American: Russia, China, Venezuela, N.Korea, etc. |

| #3 A troll is a being in Nordic folklore, including Norse mythology. In Old Norse sources, beings described as trolls dwell in isolated areas of rocks, mountains, or caves, live together in small family units, and are rarely helpful to human beings. |

| #2 Globalism has multiple meanings. In political science, it is used to describe "attempts to understand all the interconnections of the modern world—and to highlight patterns that underlie (and explain) them". While primarily associated with world-systems, it can be used to describe other global trends. The concept of globalism is also classically used to focus on the ideologies of globalization (the subjective meanings) instead of its processes (the objective practices); in this sense, "globalism" is to globalization what "nationalism" is to nationality. The term is now frequently used as a pejorative by far-right movements and conspiracy theorists, as in the New World Order conspiracy theory. False usage in this way has also been associated with antisemitism, as antisemites frequently appropriate the term globalist to refer to Jews. |

| #1 All of the enemies that Israel faces, in fact, are controlled by the Iranian regime. What about Globalists? |
