World War III has never been as imminent as it is now.
What appears to have started as an act of resistance by Palestinians against the aggression and abuse by an apartheid Israeli regime has escalated to the dangerous level of a potential global war. The determining factor between war and relative peace resides in the actions of the US.
In the early hours of last Saturday, Hamas launched Operation al-Aqsa Flood. The strategic surprise attack on Israel comprised the firing of more than 5 000 rockets, and land and sea penetration into occupied territories.
The scale of the operation marked an unprecedented intelligence failure on the side of apartheid Israel’s much-feared Aman, Mossad and Shabak. Despite rumours that foreign countries had shared intelligence that was ignored, it is apparent that the rumours are either false or, if true, the intelligence was scanty.
