r/IsraelPalestine on Reddit: What do you think about ex CIA director Larry Johnson analysis about Israel’s war in Gaza?
January 19, 2024 -

He compares what Israel is doing to the Palestinians today to what the Germans did to the Jews in Poland. What do you guys think of his analysis?

What do you think about the last part of the video, especially regarding the possibility that this may bring about the destruction of Israel due to neighboring states reacting to “this horror.”

Or possibly even the destruction of Israel due to draining its resources/finances/military personnel similar to how the Russians were drained by the Afghan taliban, or how the US was drained by the Vietnam war or again the US was drained by the Afghan Taliban.

It seems whenever a more advanced military with an unclear objectives enters into a territory inhabited by very passionate, oppressed people with a strong goal, the more advanced military tends to get decimated over years even though the native population fighting on its own soil suffers major casualties. It seems that the oppressed native populations just “tough it out” through their strong resolve and resilience while the “stronger” more advanced nation gets drained over years as the population and government realize there is no longer any more morale or anything else left in the tank to fight an unwinnable war.

In reference to the Russian defeat in Afghanistan, a Russian commander was quoted as saying “How do you defeat an enemy who looks into the barrel of a gun and sees paradise?"

We see a lot of this in Gaza right now: Palestinians with strong faith, not afraid to die, rather welcoming death if it means standing up for their family and their land. More resilient than any military.

Don’t you think the Israeli government and military are doing a disservice to Israel and the Israeli people by fighting an futile war against a native population within their own land?

Here’s Larry Johnson former CIA analysis;

Edit: thanks for pointing out the mistake in the post title, sorry that was unintentional and I can’t remove the word “director.” Regardless, his perspective carries weight and is not what you here in mainstream media.

Regarding the the comment about Israeli’s not being colonizers who came from Europe, two words: Balfour Declaration.
