The Arab-Israeli Conflict

We've been snookered

We used to talk about the Arab-Israeli conflict. It was fairly clear. The Arab world hates Israel and wants to see it dismantled.

But then Jimmy Carter and Menachem Begin bribed Egypt into a “peace deal”, which they have been violating incessantly.

And then Yitzchak Rabin committed the crime of Oslo, achieving a “peace deal” with Jordan that has been at best a very cold “peace”.

And then Binyamin Netanyahu has insisted that Israel’s war is with Gaza. Or with Iran. Or with the tunnels. Or with Hamas. And I’ve been railing against this since October 8, because that particular war is with the so-called “Palestinians”, period.

But as the butler said to the king (Gen 41:9), “I make mention of my faults this day.” Because this idiotic war has gotten into my brain so much that I had also forgotten the reality. Which is that this is the Arab-Israeli conflict. That we are at war with the entire Arab-Muslim world. With no exceptions.

“But what about the UAE?” “But what about the Saudis?” “What about the Abraham Accords?!!!”

What about them?

An interesting news item popped up this morning:

• EGYPT ON GAZANS - Egyptian TV presenter: “Palestinians cannot leave Gaza because it would end the Palestinian issue through which we fight Israel's legitimacy to exist.”

And that’s really the key to it. Some countries, like the UAE, figured they could make money off of Israel until the inevitable day of our destruction, so they signed the Abraham Accords. But like the rest of the Arab/Muslim countries, they insist on keeping the so-called “Palestinian issue” alive as a weapon pointed straight at the heart of the State of Israel.

The non-nation calling itself “Palestinian” was created to be that weapon. Created by Nazis (the OG Nazis, in fact) and by the KGB and by the Arab League. And by the United Nations.

Despite the fact that they have successfully gotten the world to accept this farce, the so-called “Palestinians” are nothing. If the rest of the Arab/Muslim world wanted to, they could end the Issue overnight. They don’t, because they love sitting back and watching Israel squirm. They are like a cat playing with its food, and we are its food.

We can bite back. We can turn the predators into prey. We don’t have to allow this farce to continue playing out at the cost of dead Israelis. We, too, can end it overnight.

See how Netanyahu dances to their tune? We’ve gotten into the habit of doing that. This is one of the major reasons why Netanyahu has to go. He is incapable of thinking outside of the “But I wanna be a nation like all the other nations!!!” box. We need a leader who isn’t trapped in that box.

(Politicians like Ben Gvir and Smotrich aren’t that. Moshe Feiglin is, and I pray to God that he gets back into the Knesset at the next elections.)

We need to go back to the understanding that we are surrounded by enemies. That this isn’t about Hamas, and it’s not even about the so-called “Palestinians”. It’s about the Arab refusal to accept the fact that the State of Israel is here to stay. That their genocidal attempts to prevent it in 1948 and 1967 and 1973, which have not ended, but have merely been cast as a sort of Passion Play, starring a so-called “Palestinian” people who never existed.

I’m sorry I allowed the cacophany of “Palestine this” and “Palestine that” take my attention away from what’s actually happening here. I promise to try not to let that happen again.
