World War 3

Prof. Mazin Qumsiyeh

The Israel/USA (Epstein empire) attack on eight countries in the past 2.5 years is the opening salvo of World War 3 (WW3) and has catastrophic consequences for people and the environment but the knowledge of this and a global uprising are spreading despite censorships and could halt it (see material and links below). Calculations show Israel alone produced more pollution and climate gas emissions in one year from its genocidal campaigns than most industrialized countries do from ALL their sources. The Pentagon is the world’s single largest institutional polluter, spewing carbon, contaminating water, and scarring landscapes across the globe. Combining investigative journalism, striking visuals, and stories from impacted communities, this film challenges audiences to rethink the hidden costs of a global military empire and its planetary consequences. Provocative, urgent, and eye-opening, this is a documentary that will change how you see both the military and environmentalism.  And now that the Epstein coalition (led by Israel) is attacking oil infrastructure and water desalination in Iran and beyond, the environmental catastrophe is mushrooming. It is urgent that you and we all ACT.

But if this pollution does not kill us, the starting World War III will (Israeli/US client UAE government just attacked water desalination plants in Iran). The Great War (later dubbed WW1) was started after the late 20th century decline and dissolution of empires (like the Austro-Hungarian empire) and creation of the political concept of Nation States. It could have ended less catastrophically had te Zionist movement not dragged the US into the war in exchange for the French Cambon and the British Balfour declarations in 1917 in support of Zionism. WW2 might have been averted. The League of Nations (LN) was formed in January 1920 with headquarters in Switzerland claiming to want peace through diplomacy. The LN failed as the European states bickered among each other on resources and spoils of earlier empires and failed to stop states from violating its mandates: Japan invading Manchuria (1931) Italy invading Ethiopia (1935) Germany invading Poland, the USA expansionism and wars on a number of Latin American Countries etc. We can draw parallels between the failure of the LN and the United Nations (UN) which replaced it in 1946 but WW3 will be far more cataclysmic. The UN failed to stop states from violating its mandates: Israel invading and occupying several countries and committing genocide, US invading Venezuela, Libya and others and lately Iran. The LN failure to stop "might makes right" invasions led to World War II. Will the UN analogous failure lead to WW3. I say possibly even though we now have nuclear weapons (danger is higher) and we have many more countries with divergent interests (193 states members of the UN). But I think the failure now is far more dangerous than the early failures. The conquests and conflicts in the 16th to 19th century were driven by European empires' expansions and rivalry. Conflicts in the 20th century (WW1, WW2, Vietnam, Korea etc) were driven by "nation states" competing for influence and hope of repeating empires (e.g. the not so "cold" war). All caused huge suffering and misery while enriching many individuals and certain families of elites. But even genocides they engendered (Congo, Namibia, Armenia, etc.) and the other atrocities were localized and not truly globalized. The 21st century opening act of WW3 portend a far more dangerous potential: A self-fulfilling prophecy of bringing Armageddon. Without delving deeply into the ideology that drives these, Maung wrote that "Both messianic Israel of Judeo-Fascists and MAGA USA with fanatical Christian Zionists, will destroy humanity at large.... It is destroying 'democracy in America' and the US Constitution." (link). I would add to his analysis this prophetic letter from Thomas Jefferson to Mordecai Noah May 28, 1818: "I thank you for the Discourse on the consecration of the Synagogue in your city, with which you have been pleased to favor me. I have read it with pleasure and instruction, having learnt from it some valuable facts in Jewish history which I did not know before. Your sect by its sufferings has furnished a remarkable proof of the universal spirit of religious intolerance inherent in every sect, disclaimed by all while feeble, and practiced by all when in power. Our laws have applied the only antidote to this vice, protecting our religious, as they do our civil rights, by putting all on an equal footing. But more remains to be done, for although we are free by the law, we are not so in practice." But that constitution is trampled and gone and there is no separation of religion from state in the Epstein duo of Israel & USA. They bring on us a global war and doom. A revolution in the USA and globally is thus beginning and we hope it is not too late to stop the suicidal madness. Join the global uprising (intifada).
