Israel Targets Gaza After Tel Aviv Rocket Scare
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
Adam Green here with no more news.
It's March 14th, 2019.
And today the IDF launched airstrikes on Gaza targets after rockets were fired at Tel Aviv.
This is the first attack since 2014.
And the two rockets were intercepted by Israel's Iron Dome Missile Defense System.
And they are blaming Israel and the United States are blaming Hamas.
They're saying Hamas terror group carried out the rocket fire.
But Hamas and other Palestinian groups are denying responsibility for the rockets.
And it's interesting because Israel's really who benefits from these rockets.
These rockets didn't do any damage.
They couldn't have done much damage.
And it just gives Israel the justification to show off their Iron Dome missile system.
And it gets to justify more military aid, more uh we're just protecting ourselves, so they're allowed to be the aggressors.
Uh Israel is said to uh attacking uh Hamas naval commandos, which I didn't know that Hamas and Gaza had a Navy.
That's uh surprise to hear that their Navy bases were attacked.
And a Hamas official told the Times of Israel that the terror group, quote, has no interest in the escalation with Israel.
The official said he had no idea who fired rockets toward Tel Aviv, and then the terror group also denied that it was behind the fire.
PIJ spokesman called the reports baseless lies and claims.
So nobody's taken responsibility for these.
But Israel is blaming.
Here's Trump's peace envoy, condemns outrageous rocket fire at Tel Aviv, slams Hamas.
That is uh Jason Greenblatt slamming Hamas, even though they denied responsibility.
The Jerusalem Post, Israel strikes Gaza for Tel Aviv rockets, red alerts, rock southern border.
Yeah, the sirens were going off.
There's video of the of the rockets being intercepted, and the lieutenant said that the Hamas carried out the attacks.
They tweeted it, and that the Israeli military is targeting, quote, terror sites, which I suppose are these uh naval, supposed naval bases.
And even though Hamas denied responsibility, times of Israel, after Gaza rockets fired at Tel Aviv, two minister calls, two ministers call to kill terror leaders.
They they call for targeted assassinations on Hamas leaders after the latest.
And it's interesting that they say that they uh went after a Navy, Navy base or Navy commandos.
I I it's very surprising.
I've never heard about Palestine and Gaza having a Navy, let alone a military or anything.
And uh how could they have a Navy when they're there's a blockade for one, they they blockade aid aid boats that want to come to Gaza, and two fishermen aren't even allowed to go out very far.
It's it's heavily monitored, and I've even heard that they're about to put up or they already have put up underwater walls to prevent something there in Gaza, prevent movement there.
So the blockades of the Gaza Strip, and here's Gaza fishermen shot dead by Israeli Navy.
So fishermen are getting shot dead.
I can't imagine what kind of uh Navy commandos they have.
Here's uh UNRWA Gaza fishermen restricted livelihoods.
It talks about how only six nautical miles in all of Gaza's water are what they're uh allowed right now, and it's they always change it, it's gone up to nine, three, six.
They're always changing it depending on uh how intense things are.
And uh okay, and then what I want to get into now is the Iron Dome.
So the Iron Dome intercepted these two, you know, bottle rockets that came from who knows where in Gaza, you know, how hard could it be to have a couple Mossad agents in in Gaza shooting off uh little bottle rockets and then justify you know military uh fighter jet attacks on whatever targets they want.
And here's UPI interesting info about Israel's Iron Dome, this system that uh shot intercepted these missiles, and this the US helped create and fund Israel's defense of the Iron Dome.
So this is back in 2012.
U.S. backs another 680 million for Israeli Iron Dome.
Back in and it says uh 200 million.
So yeah, the first one was 200, and then I guess another 680.
And then this is in 2014, another 225 million.
Congress approves to fund this.
Obama approves 225 million, so Obama's doing it too.
You know, they all claim he's anti-Israel, but it's a lot of money.
Wired magazine U.S. funds Israel's Iron Dome, but doesn't quite know how it works.
Doesn't quite know how it works that comes into play here.
Because CNBC, just more recently, 2017, Israel's Iron Dome becomes golden ticket.
So the United States funded it, but now it's Israel's golden ticket.
Israel's high-tech industry is brimming with products that have made the jump from military application to civilian markets.
One of the most iconic names currently in the arms industry is the air defense system Iron Dome.
So they're selling the Iron Dome now.
We helped create it and they're selling it.
Israel's one of the top arms dealers in the world, along with the U.S. Haritz, U.S. to purchase Israel's Iron Dome Missile Defense, citing immediate need.
So the U.S. funded it for almost a billion dollars, maybe exceeding a billion dollars.
And then now we're buying it from Israel.
Israel Israel has an iron dome and an iron fist.
Our systems can face any threat, Netanyahu said in response to the deal.
Netanyahu, Iron Fist.
Yeah.
That's not creepy.
So here's a little photo of it.
I thought, okay.
And Jerusalem Post, United States purchases Israeli-made iron dome missile defense systems.
System to be used for U.S. forces deployed in Europe.
So we need these in Europe apparently.
And Netanyahu praised the deal, calling it a quote, great achievement for Israel.
And quote, this is yet another expression of the strengthening of our strong alliance with the U.S. and expression of Israel's rising status in the world.
Interesting.
Netanyahu is talking about Israel's rising status and an iron fist.
I mean, if that doesn't sound like a power-hungry uh psycho, I don't know what does.
Authoritarian.
So the US is buying it, and here uh the Russia is mocking America for buying Israel's iron dome.
They're not impressed, and I mean it's kind of embarrassing that we funded it and now we're buying it.
And uh part uh one of the reasons Haritz behind Congressional Drive to buy Iron Dome money from Raytheon.
Letters from 40 Congressmen urges U.S. Army to buy Israeli anti-missile system.
And it's uh Raphael Israel and Israel Aerospace Industries, which is also involved in Iron Dome, deny any connection with Meng and Roscom's undertaking.
These are the politicians or the lobbyists, but Raytheon, the giant U.S. defense contractor, is Raphael's partner in manufacturing and marketing the system.
The company donates about two million annually to more than 200 members of Congress and has a 5 million annual budget for lobbying.
Most of the 40 congressmen who signed the letter to buy the Iron Dome, uh signed the letter, have enjoyed campaign contributions from Raytheon amounting to tens of thousands of dollars.
Interesting that or sad that they sell out for just tens of thousands of dollars, our politicians.
And here it says that uh the iron dome could be used like in other countries like South Korea or India.
India.
And while we're buying the Iron Dome, we're funding the Iron Dome.
Israel's showing it off today with these uh bottle rockets that were shot from who knows.
And uh so they're showing off their missiles, but now we're sending our most advanced missiles, but we're buying theirs.
We're buying we funded the iron dome, we're buying it, but now we're sending them our most advanced missile system.
And this is for the first time.
This is the THAAD system.
Terminal high altitude area defense.
And here is Netanyahu visiting this uh Thad anti-missile system stationed in Israel.
Meanwhile, Netanyahu was just uh touring the Middle East, released the video, the leaked footage of the Arab leaders talking about Iran, and he tweeted out war with Iran and then deleted the tweet and then used some other euphemism.
Pretty scary, pretty scary.
Apocalyptic.
And the Times of Israel, Pentagon approves massive 1.9 billion arms sale to Israel.
That was 2015.
1.9 billion arm sales.
Jerusalem Post Trump's 2019 budget request, 200 million increase to Israel.
The 3.8 billion a year isn't enough.
2 million increase to Israel.
President's budget allows the White House to lay out its priorities for the year, but it's not legally binding.
So 200 million more to Israel.
Where are they gonna get that?
Well, Trump cuts 200 million in aid to the Palestinians.
Maybe that's where they'll find it.
Take the aid from the Palestinian refugees and uh people suffering in Gaza and in the in the in the occupied West Bank and give it to Israel for more weapons.
That seems fair.
And remember I mentioned India, Jerusalem Post.
If India and Pakistan go to war, Israeli weapons could be decisive.
So here's independent.
Israel is playing a big role in India's escalating conflict with Pakistan just recently.
Haritz opinion, Israelis led India's airstrikes in Pakistan.
The Hindu Zionist conspiracy theory takes a wild turn.
So those anti-Semitic Hindu Pakistanis with their Zog conspiracies.
And uh speaking of uh war and bombing, who's doing who's the aggressor?
Who's who's causing the trouble?
IDF says it has bombed over 200 Iranian targets in Syria since 2017, 200 attacks in Syria by Israel.
And the UN says 2018 is the deadliest year yet for Syrian children, and you know, Israel is supporting ISIS, supporting al-Qaeda over there, providing medical aid, funding, arming,
strategic help, and the UN says Israel's killings at Gaza protests may amount to war crimes, and that's uh 189 people killed in 6100 in the last year.
Remember, it was 58 killed in protest at the in Gaza in one day recently.
Gaza protest desk, Israel may have committed war crimes, war crimes, war crimes.
So, while everybody in Israel and all the Zionists are freaking out over two bottle rockets shot by we don't know who nobody's everybody's denying responsibility, didn't do any damage, and they got to show off the iron dome, they're selling the iron dome, they're arming the world, they're attacking their neighbors.
It's uh it's not good.
