CIA: Israel Could Be Headed Toward Civil War

 

A team of CIA analysts has suggested that Israel could devolve into a civil war as serious fractures within the Jewish state appear. Aida Chavez from Drop Site News reports: 

"Israel is at risk of civil war or state collapse, a classified CIA assessment warns, as years of genocide in Gaza and war in Lebanon and Iran deepen political, economic, and social fractures within the country.

The August report, titled “Fracture From Within,” was compiled by experts in the CIA’s Red Cell, according to two U.S. sources who described the contents of the report to Drop Site News. The Red Cell, which is the unit responsible for providing “alternative analysis” within the agency, produced the assessment through a combination of open source information and U.S. intelligence. The assessment appears to refer only to Israel’s Jewish citizens and does not consider its Palestinian citizens, who make up approximately 20% of Israel’s population and who live under various forms of discrimination that Amnesty International and other human rights groups have labelled as part of a broader system of apartheid. The CIA did not respond to a request for comment.

CIA experts pointed to a volatile mix of pressures converging ahead of Israel’s elections on October 27: economic crisis and soaring military spending; heavily armed veterans returning from prolonged combat, many carrying serious psychological trauma; growing fury over ultra-Orthodox men who are exempt from military service; escalating settler violence in the occupied West Bank; and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu fighting to hold onto power and igniting a constitutional crisis.'

Read the entire report to get a flavor for what might be happening in Israel over the next year. 

Much like his close friend the demented Malignant Fascist once did, Netanyahu's facing criminal charges once he leaves office, so he'll engage in any illegal scheme to remain in power. He's milked the October 7 massacre for years of bloody war in Gaza and Lebanon, and looked the other way when settler thugs rampage against Palestinian villages on the West Bank. Hopefully, the October 27 election will end years of Netanyahu's far right regime.
