as a psychological operation, the raid of Hamas is already a great success

For the 50th anniversary of the Arab offensive in 1973, the Hamas has already achieved a great psychological success from Gaza. On October 7, 2023, Israel is caught off guard. Commandos managed to infiltrate Ashkelon and Sderot, are wrecking havoc behind the front line.

Many amateur and official videos surface. Military posts have been overrun, tanks destroyed or seized. Scores of Israeli service members, maybe one unconfirmed general, have been killed or taken prisoners to Gaza. Many were caught half naked. A small military disaster. And what about intelligence ? The radical cult of new technologies, war for nerds, is definitively a poison for armies, intelligence and police.

Beside the technical aspects, the tribute to Ukrainian Nazis has not brought luck to Israel. A few days ago, the Israeli ambassador to Ukraine shared on social networks a video where two female members of the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) were singing a Ukrainian Nazi anthem. While facing the Israeli failure, the whole West seems now hysterical. Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu declares war, mobilizes the reserve, states our enemy will be drowned on blood. Nothing really new. What a moron, Reaganist redneck, moreover corrupt. From Donbass to Niger, the old unipolar world is crumbling, like the walls of Jericho. Arrogance without talent has always a heavy price.
