Netanyahu and Rahm Emmanuel Agree: Never Let a Crisis Go To WasteBrandon Turbeville After days of both air and sea-based military strikes against Palestinians living Gaza, Israeli tanks have crossed the border and are now pushing even deeper into the tiny sliver of land. According to Israeli military statements, Israel has called up 48,000 reserve troops as well as 18,000 additional soldiers which were called upon on Thursday, July 17. So far, the death toll in Palestine has reached around 260. There has been only fatality on the Israeli side, a soldier who was killed in the northern part of Gaza. Approximately one third of Palestinian casualties are women and children. All of this occurs, of course, in the face of immense apathy on the part of the Western public or even unfortunately amidst fanatical, albeit misguided, support. Yet even the activist communities who would have been focused on drawing attention to the slaughter taking place in Gaza have now been drawn off target as they follow the details of a downed plane in Ukraine, an apparent false flag designed to attract world attention and drum up support for a NATO confrontation with Russia. Clearly, the world oligarchy is not letting a good crisis go to waste. Netanyahus statement is, of course, very similar to the sentiment expressed by former Obama Chief of Staff, Chicago Mayor, and former civilian volunteer for the Israeli Defense Forces, Rahm Emmanuel when he stated that You never let a serious crisis go to waste. And what I mean by that, its an opportunity to do things you think you could not do before. Thus, it is important to remember that, whenever mainstream press outlets begin coverage of a subject that takes on a life of its own 24 hour a day coverage and constant updates that, while it may very well be a legitimate issue, it may just as likely be a sleight of hand.
