The Invasion of Gaza: "Operation Cast Lead", Part of a Broader Israeli Military-Intelligence Agenda

by Michel Chossudovsky

Global Research, January 4, 2009

The aerial bombings and the ongoing invasion of Gaza by Israeli ground forces must be analysed in a historical context. Operation "Cast Lead" is a carefully planned undertaking, which is part of a broader military-intelligence agenda first formulated in 2001:

"Sources in the defense establishment said Defense Minister E More..hud Barak instructed the Israel Defense Forces to prepare for the operation over six months ago, even as Israel was beginning to negotiate a ceasefire agreement with Hamas."(Barak Ravid, Operation "Cast Lead": Israeli Air Force strike followed months of planning, Haaretz, December 27, 2008)

It was Israel which broke the truce on the day of the US presidential elections, November 4:"Israel used this distraction to break the ceasefire between itself and Hamas by bombing the Gaza strip. Israel claimed this violation of the ceasefire was to prevent Hamas from digging tunnels into Israeli territory.

The very next day, Israel launched a terrorizing siege of Gaza, cutting off food, fuel, medical supplies and other necessities in an attempt to subdue the Palestinians while at the same time engaging in armed incursions.

In response, Hamas and others in Gaza again resorted to firing crude, homemade, and mainly inaccurate rockets into Israel. During the past seven years, these rockets have been responsible for the deaths of 17 Israelis. Over the same time span, Israeli Blitzkrieg assaults have killed thousands of Palestinians, drawing worldwide protest but falling on deaf ears at the UN." (Shamus Cooke, The Massacre in Palestine and the Threat of a Wider War, Global Research, December 2008)

Planned Humanitarian Disaster

On December 8, US Deputy Secretary of State John Negroponte was in Tel Aviv for discussions with his Israeli counterparts including the director of Mossad, Meir Dagan.

"Operation Cast Lead" was initiated two days day after Christmas. It was coupled with a carefully designed international Public Relations campaign under the auspices of Israel's Foreign Ministry.

Hamas' military targets are not the main objective. Operation "Cast Lead" is intended, quite deliberately to trigger civilian causalities.

What we are dealing with is a "planned humanitarian disaster" in Gaza.

The longer term objective of this plan, as formulated by Israeli policy makers is the expulsion of Palestinians from Palestinian lands: "Terrorize the civilian population, assuring maximal destruction of property and cultural resources... [T]he daily life of the Palestinians must be rendered unbearable: They should be locked up in cities and towns, prevented from exercising normal economic life, cut off from workplaces, schools and hospitals, This will encourage emigration and weaken the resistance to future expulsions" Ur Shlonsky, quoted by Ghali Hassan, Gaza: The Worlds Largest Prison, Global Research, 2005)

"Operation Justified Vengeance"

A turning point has been reached. Operation "Cast Lead" is part of the broader military-intelligence operation initiated at the outset the Ariel Sharon government in 2001.

It was under Sharon's "Operation Justified Vengeance" that F-16 fighter planes were initially used to bomb Palestinian cities.

"Operation Justified Vengeance" was presented in July 2001 to the Israeli government of Ariel Sharon by IDF chief of staff Shaul Mofaz, under the title "The Destruction of the Palestinian Authority and Disarmament of All Armed Forces".

"A contingency plan, codenamed Operation Justified Vengeance, was drawn up last June [2001] to reoccupy all of the West Bank and possibly the Gaza Strip at a likely cost of "hundreds" of Israeli casualties." (Washington Times, 19 March 2002).

According to Jane's 'Foreign Report' (July 12, 2001) the Israeli army under Sharon had updated its plans for an "all-out assault to smash the Palestinian authority, force out leader Yasser Arafat and kill or detain its army".

"Bloodshed Justification"

The "Bloodshed Justification" was an essential component of this plan. The killing of Palestinian civilians was justified on "humanitarian grounds" in response to suicide attacks:

The assault would be launched, at the government's discretion, after a big suicide bomb attack in Israel, causing widespread deaths and injuries, citing the bloodshed as justification. (Tanya Reinhart, Evil Unleashed, Israel's move to destroy the Palestinian Authority is a calculated plan, long in the making, Global Research, December 2001, emphasis added)

@MonsterIsrael

lol ur an israel-y shut up. you have no rights

[scramyou]

I need to add have been responsible for MANY Palistinian deaths),the Saudis and yes even the U.S. I do see this. These people ARE caught in the middle. Good grief though..why the f*ck do they feel the need to attack civialin targets the way they do? NO the Isralis DO NOT purposefully target civilians. SADLY they do get caught in the croos fire. IT REAL does make me sick. If THEY didnt attack Israli civilians then the Isralis wouldnt HAVE TO go into these areas to root them out.

[scramyou]

Look people,I am NOT A "RAH RAH American". I love my counrty dispite its faults. I hate what happens to the Palistinian people. They are PAWNS for EVERYONE in the area. Why doesn't anyone see that? The Isralis pawn them out as does Europe,IRAN,Syria(who I don't think

[scramyou]

Troops going into those areas would STILL have to wear protective gear to assult into those areas post an air or ground strike. OHH wait I forgot..LEAD!! And the magicaly ability to remove radiation.

[scramyou]

You are calling me an idiot? .Oh,Yes of course. Lead. That solves EVERYHTING. WHO is the f*king idiot?? Would there NOT be background evidance of the deployment of such weapons? Residual background radiation,detectable by easy means. Or are those diabolical Jews & their sympathisers so good at covering up their tracks becuase they control the world? Or is it becuase they control all of the most powerful technology that they can MAGICLY MAKE ALL TRACES OF RADIATION IN AN AREA DISAPEAR?

[siliconrats]

what goes around comes around

[bananarana1]

ficken Sie Sie Weibchen

[genx1973]

That is truly the stupidest comment i have heard. Doing so will also contaminate precious aquifers that israel depends on. In addition nuclear fallout will also effect the Israeli due to the proximity.

[MonsterIsrael]

US already show they can be more violent against muslims than Germany in WWII by killing muslims in Iraq, palastain, Afganistan etc.

European and the rest of the world do not like US for their stupid action in Abbu Garib, Guentemalo, palastain prison etc. Just visit other counties and tell you are American then you will see how hateful speech you heard about US action. US media is bias,controlled and Jews Owned, See countries TV like BBC, Alzagira to see real fact
