I am indebted to Troy Southgate’s New Right Forum where a member has posted a fascinating commentary on the IDF’s new methods of urban warfare.  The Israelis have applied a postmodernist archetectural analysis to the problem of combatting an urban guerilla force.  The result, complete with all the familiar postmodern linguistics, is the (literally) devastating concept of fighting under and through a dense architectural battlefield.

It is an astounding and disturbing commentary on semitic analysis, and on the - one imagines - extraordinary Ashkenazic capacity to invent new modes of attack.

The Art of War

The Israeli Defence Forces have been heavily influenced by contemporary philosophy, highlighting the fact that there is considerable overlap among theoretical texts deemed essential by military academies and architectural schools by Eyal Weizman
The attack conducted by units of the Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) on the city of Nablus in April 2002 was described by its commander, Brigadier-General Aviv Kokhavi, as ‘inverse geometry’, which he explained as ‘the reorganization of the urban syntax by means of a series of micro-tactical actions’.1 During the battle soldiers moved within the city across hundreds of metres of ‘overground tunnels’ carved out through a dense and contiguous urban structure. Although several thousand soldiers and Palestinian guerrillas were manoeuvring simultaneously in the city, they were so ‘saturated’ into the urban fabric that very few would have been visible from the air. Furthermore, they used none of the city’s streets, roads, alleys or courtyards, or any of the external doors, internal stairwells and windows, but moved horizontally through walls and vertically through holes blasted in ceilings and floors. This form of movement, described by the military as ‘infestation’, seeks to redefine inside as outside, and domestic interiors as thoroughfares. The IDF’s strategy of ‘walking through walls’ involves a conception of the city as not just the site but also the very medium of warfare – a flexible, almost liquid medium that is forever contingent and in flux.

I’m only doing a copy & paste job on this one.  No thinking employed.  Can’t bear to think about those poor lads who love the Navy and the sea and our country, and who have watched the shit-hearted PeeCee people fuck with it all for their sick ends.

“Commanding officers have a key role to play in creating a culture in which gay and lesbian personnel feel confident that they work without being harassed or bullied because of their orientation,” Commander Kingsbury said.
