To understand the intentions of Muslims through Quranic verses, Hadiths, and observation of about 1,400 years of Islamic wars and conquests.
Written by Ofer Binshtok
Who are the non-Muslims?
Quran 8:55 defines non-Muslims as the worst of creatures, meaning worse than cockroaches and bedbugs.
Quran 9:28 defines non-Muslims as filthy, and Hilali and Khan explain that this means physical and spiritual impurity, impurity at the level of feces.
Quran 5:33 according to Bukhari, defines those who do not believe as people waging war against Allah, meaning against the Muslims, and commands Muslims to kill them in especially cruel ways, cutting off their hands and feet.
Who handles the non-Muslims, and by what methods?
In Quran 9:14-15 Allah tells Muslims that He uses their hands as His own to torture and punish the non-Muslims. The compensation Muslims receive from Him is great pleasure and psychological satisfaction, as if the torture they inflict is calming therapy for them. In these verses Allah also removes from Muslims the moral responsibility for the atrocities they commit and takes that responsibility upon Himself.
In Quran 8:39 Allah commands Muslims to fight the non-Muslims until the world contains only Muslims.
In Bukhari 25 and Muslim 22 Muhammad testifies that he was commanded to fight the non-Muslims until they convert to Islam. These Hadiths make no distinction among types of non-Muslims, and they set no particular place or time for this. It is always, and it is against everyone.
In Quran 9:29 Allah commands Muslims to fight the non-Muslims solely because they do not believe. He permits some of them, the People of the Book (Jews and Christians), to be left alive temporarily so they can serve as a livelihood for Muslims (as He explained to them the purpose of the non-Muslims, and why, in Quran 9:28) by paying a poll tax while living as an inferior race and being humiliated.
Then in Quran 9:30 and 9:31 Allah also places the People of the Book in the category of the mushrikin, those who associate others with Allah, and in effect turns the entire non-Muslim population of the world into one category of mushrikin.
In Quran 9:5 Allah commands Muslims to launch an initiated attack on the non-Muslims, with no limit of time or place, in order to kill them.
In Quran 9:73 Allah commands Muslims to fight the non-Muslims with no limit of place or time.
In Quran 9:111 Allah trades in the lives of Muslims and says that He purchased their lives so they would kill and be killed in war for His sake, and in return they will receive Paradise.
In Quran 9:123 Allah commands Muslims to fight the non-Muslims closest to them.
In Quran 47:35 Allah commands Muslims not to strive for peace when they have the upper hand. That means that when they are weak they are allowed to make ceasefire agreements with the non-Muslims, but when the balance of power shifts, the verses and Hadiths commanding attack take effect.
In Quran 8:60 while Muslims are weak or not visibly at war, Allah commands them to prepare for the continuation of open war and to build their military power.
In Quran 3:28 Allah permits Muslims to lie to non-Muslims about their intentions toward them when they subjectively fear them.
In the Treaty of Hudaybiyyah, a 10-year ceasefire, Muhammad signed with the non-Muslims when his power was inferior to theirs. After two years the balance of power shifted in his favor, he attacked the non-Muslims, and he defeated them. This is Sunnah.
Muhammad migrated to Medina in 622 and within about 10 years he almost completely annihilated the non-Muslim culture that had hosted him.
The rule of Usul al-Fiqh on general verses is that they are not limited to time, context, or place. They are always valid.
The history of Islamic wars and conquests confirms that the essence and meaning of what has been described so far is valid and binding for Muslims. About 20% of the Earth's surface was conquered and almost completely purified of the non-Muslims who lived there. In some places the Muslim percentage is 100% or close to it, and other places are slowly moving toward 100%. In some places the ethnic cleansing of non-Muslims took a short time. In others it took hundreds of years. In still others the process continues today. The remaining non-Muslim minorities living under Islamic rule are persecuted in various ways, sometimes more cruelly and sometimes through administrative means.
The place where Islam began, the Muslim state now called Saudi Arabia, does not allow any non-Muslim to receive citizenship. Therefore 100% of its citizens are Muslims. There is no church there and no Hindu temple. Christian worship, Hindu worship, and the worship of other faiths are forbidden by law and enforced with great severity.
Islam continues the same process and does not stop for a moment. Africa has been in a process of conquest for about 1,400 years. The Indian subcontinent has been in that process for about 1,400 years. Western Europe and America are now at the beginning of the same process. Through a breach in the defenses of the non-Muslims in these regions, which the Muslims found, they are exploiting the democratic system in order to turn them in the future into places identical to the Middle East, Africa, and the Indian subcontinent.

This post will become even clearer over the next few weeks. If it even takes that long. The left have decided that the events of October 7 were their starting gun. Sure they’ve been corrupt and pulling their stunts and propaganda long before then, but things are running at a completely different level now.
What we’re seeing isn’t a UK thing or a France thing or even a US thing. Now it’s a well-oiled propaganda machine running a coordinated global machine, and the oil is Palestinianism. Every flag is used to mark territory. The moment a war seems to be losing attention or momentum, a new one emerges. And it’s not random. It’s to keep the excuses and false justification for their concerted efforts to take down western civilization.
A last minute extension in Brazil that has never happened before in Brazil’s history. North Korea moving heavy weapons to the southern demarcation zone. The kind of gaslighting and lies we’re seeing on social media that are so easily debunked or have no evidence whatsoever, yet the next and next is pushed out before anyone gets the chance to call it out.
The same pattern happened the day after the Gazans massacred 1200 Israelis then enjoyed millions in the West and the entire mainstream media whitewashing it and filled my every platform with fake stories of air strikes and fake videos all to manipulate uneducated and ignorant minds. The indoctrination of western youth has been the single greatest weapon ever seen. History itself is being rewritten and replaced by total fabrication. Wikipedia is now meaningless. Words that once had meaning are now being redefined in realtime and all we see is confusion and chaos.
Things are going to come to a violent and bloody end. Because all the lies and all the manipulation will eventually get exposed and then an explosion of violence will erupt. It will take a single spark. All the signs are there. This is more than just immigration and border disputes. This is a war that nobody has the courage to call it what it is.
If America falls to the Democrats, the last superpower able to stop it will be gone. There is only one thing that can change what’s going on, and that’s the people finally standing up and stopping it. That goes for every country.
A war is brewing. Not the kind of war we’ve seen over the past few years or even decades. What’s coming will be far worse, far more widespread, with far more bloodshed. And yet so many people are so ignorant of what’s happening around them.
Jihadists don’t care if you’re on the right, the left or the center. They’re openly telling the world what they’re doing today and what they’re planning to do tomorrow. They only see a non Muslim and you will meet the same fate. How have we seen this “Revolution” play out in Iran in 1979, and so many other places, and yet fail to see the identical patterns that are so prevalent and evident.
Those supporting the jihadists are traitors regardless which country they sit in. Almost everything we’re all arguing about will be so irrelevant. You will either survive or you will not. Your opinion and free speech won’t matter. So many people will find out just how irrelevant shit is. And all of us will pay the price.

נתניהו על וינטר: "אצלי נדלקו כל נורות האזהרה; יש כאן תופעה של בנט נוסף"
ראש הממשלה בנימין נתניהו לבת-אל בנימין: "אני חייב להגיד לך, אצל וינטר נדלקו לי כל נורות האזהרה. הצעתי לו לבוא ולהיות מספר 3 בליכוד, רק לפני חודשיים. וכמובן שהוא היה שר. סירב. בצלאל סמוטריץ' הציע לו אותו הדבר. סירב. אחר כך הציעו לו, הצענו לו אז תתחבר לאחת מסיעות הימין כדי שנבטיח שכולם עוברים, גם אתה תעבור. סירב"
בהמשך תקף: "ליברמן בא מהימין והלך לשמאל. בנט בא מהימין והלך לשמאל, ואני אומר לך שיש כאן תופעה של בנט נוסף. כאשר רונן מנליס, ראש המטה של איזנקוט כותב לו: 'רוץ עופר, רוץ, הצלחתך הצלחתנו'. מה זה אומר? הרי הוא מלוטף על ידי פרשני השמאל, על ידי ערוצי השמאל"

Canada has a terror list for almost everyone except the Muslim Brotherhood. Since February 2025, Ottawa has added seven foreign cartels and street gangs, the Bishnoi Gang and an online network of nihilists called 764, yet the Brotherhood has never been listed, and its networks in Canada have never faced a transparent public examination.
On 19 October in Ottawa, the new Fahmy Foundation launched its Canada Act Now campaign asking exactly why. "We should not wait for violence before asking these questions," Mohamed Fahmy said. He is right.
Ottawa can find gangs from Mexico to India, but it still cannot find the Brotherhood in its own cities. Ask yourself why.
BTW, the Muslim Brotherhood is banned in the UAE.
“according to Benny Gantz, Eizenkot's ideological partner and the one who knows him better than anyone, he says: "If you voted for Gadi, you voted for Mansour Abbas, what's not clear about that?"”
פוסט קשה:
אי אפשר שלא לראות את ההקבלה בין היהודים הניו-יורקים שמצביעים למאמדני, לישראלים שיצביעו לגוש השמאל בראשות איזנקוט שבוודאות יכניס מפלגות ערביות לממשלה.
לא שאיזנקוט הוא מאמדני חס וחלילה אבל לפי בני גנץ, שותפו האידיאולוגי של איזנקוט, ומי שמכיר אותו יותר טוב מכולם, הוא אומר: ״הצבעת לגדי, הצבעת למנסור עבאס, מה לא ברור בזה?״
וזו פשוט האמת. לא רק בגלל שזה מה שגנץ חושב אלא כי זה מה שהגוש שלו יצטרך כדי להקים ממשלה. פשוט אין מתמטיקה אחרת. יאיר גולן אפילו לא מכחיש את זה ובנט וליברמן כבר עשו זאת בממשלה קודמת.
אלוהים, איך ישראלים שחיים פה כל-כך הרבה שנים, ולמודי אינטיפאדה וטרור איסלאמיסטי, יכולים אחרי השיבעה באוקטובר להצביע למי שבפועל יכניס מפלגה ערבית לממשלה. מילא לפני 7.10, אבל אחרי? תגידו התחרפנתם?
איפה הכבוד העצמי שלכם? איפה הכבוד שלכם לכל הנופלים שחרפו את נפשם במלחמה? על מה הם מתו? כדי שנכניס את האחים המוסלמים לתוך הממשלה? כדי שממשלה שנשענת על מפלגה ערבית לא תוכל לפעול התקפית ככל שנידרש כי הרי הם יטילו ווטו. נצטרך לתקוף בלבנון והם יגידו אם אתם תוקפים אז מפרקים את הממשלה. ומה גדי וחבריו יעשו אם לא התכרבלות לתנוחת עובר ווויתור על התקיפה? איך אפשר להכניס את האויב ממש לממשלה? או אפילו להישען עליהם לקואליציה אם יש להם ווטו על פעולות צבאיות? אולי פשוט נמנה את מחמוד עבאס להיות רמטכ״ל?
איפה יצר ההישרדות הבסיסי שלכם?
האם אתם לא רואים שלהצביע לאיזנקוט (או לכל מפלגה באופוזיציה שבפועל תמליץ עליו לראשות ממשלה) זה בדיוק אותו טירוף הדעת כמו שיהודים בניו יורק מצביעים למאמדני?

⚠️ An Eisenkot government isn’t just a bad political option, it is the literal end of the Jewish State.
Gadi Eisenkot represents the worst of the deep state military elite. He is the poster child for the exact conceptia that brought us to our knees on October 7th. Giving him the keys to the country guarantees total national suicide.
Look at what an Eisenkot regime actually means:
🔴Surrender to Tehran: He will grovel to Washington and sign onto a Western diplomatic deal with Iran. Instead of wiping out their nuclear threat, he’ll accept useless international guarantees, leaving a nuclear threshold in the hands of ayatollahs while stripping Israel of its right to strike back.
🔴Abandoning Gaza to Hamas: He will pull the IDF completely out of the Strip and turn security over to useless foreign "peacekeepers." Without full Israeli control and permanent military presence, Hamas or its rebranded terror allies will march right back into power, rearm, and prepare the next massacre.
🔴Handing over Judea & Samaria: He will sell out the heartland of Israel for a suicide Palestinian state. Giving up the high ground of Judea and Samaria means putting Ben Gurion Airport and Tel Aviv in the crosshairs of enemy rockets. It turns the entire country into an indefensible border.
🔴Police-State Tyranny at Home: Just like the totalitarian crackdown on free speech in England, an Eisenkot government will use the state security apparatus, biased judges, and leftist prosecutors to target the right. They will censor patriotic speech, criminalize protest, and jail right-wingers who dare to stand up for the homeland.
Eisenkot will tear down our defenses, hand our land to terrorists, and silence anyone who tries to stop him. Wake up before it’s too late.
When Levi Eshkol and Golda Meir chose containment over population transfer after 1967, they underestimated the long-term cost to Israeli survival.
Decades later, as Washington pressures Israel to hold back once again, Kahane's controversial warning about demographic containment looks less like fringe history and more like Israel’s central existential dilemma.

Former Biden officials, hopeful for a comeback to the White House in 2028, are declaring that there is no difference between Netanyahu and other Israelis, or their different voters. All Israelis are immoral and America should force morality on them.
The puzzling part is that these same officials said we should leave Saddam, Assad, Islamic Iran alone, Houthis, Hamas, Hezbollah alone, even lift sanctions because they hurt people only and never the regimes. Only Israel should be compelled.
And they don’t see the antisemitism behind it.
The morality lesson in the op-ed:
“They are expressions of opposition to Israeli actions that Americans increasingly see not just in geopolitical but also moral terms.”

JSR Situation Room
Let’s imagine Nadav Eyal becomes Prime Minister and has to lead Israel under U.S. sanctions after Democrats return to power, with hostility toward Israel becoming their litmus test.
Nadav, let’s hear your strategy. How would you keep Israel secure, economically viable, and internationally resilient?
1/ Benjamin Netanyahu got the last set of polls last night. They argue Likud and his block are eroding fast.
Then, came his remarks on Israel's economy. These are among the most extraordinary he has made in a long political career. Whatever their intent, they carry real weight for the Israeli economy – before Tuesday's election, and regardless of who forms the next government.
In an interview with journalist Roy Katz, aired Friday, the prime minister said American military aid to Israel is coming to an end. "It's over. It's only a question of time," he said. Israelis should get used to no longer receiving tens of billions of dollars in U.S. defense assistance, he added, "because America has changed."
That alone is remarkable. There is a growing recognition in Israel that U.S. military aid in its current form will have to change, and might end, as bipartisan support for Israel erodes in Washington. Netanyahu himself has spoken before about wanting to wean Israel off the aid.
But there is a distance between that recognition and a sitting prime minister effectively announcing the end of one of the pillars of the U.S.–Israel strategic relationship. The current Memorandum of Understanding – $38 billion over ten years – runs through September 2028. It is embedded in a web of interests that includes the American defense industry, and Israel's diplomats in Washington work hard to sustain it. Israel's friends in Congress, operating in an increasingly difficult political environment, are still fighting to preserve the special relationship. When the prime minister himself says "it's over," that is a hard message for Israel's defense establishment, and for those in Washington still trying to help.
And that was only the opening.
"There could be sanctions, including banking sanctions," Netanyahu said. Israel, he explained, must prepare an economy capable of bypassing them.
This is a different order of magnitude entirely.
Some background is needed. In the world of international sanctions, comprehensive banking sanctions against a country are among the most powerful tools available to major powers. They are not import restrictions, consumer boycotts, or even arms embargoes. Broad financial sanctions go after an economy's circulatory system.
Israel's banks depend on the global financial system: correspondent banks, clearing, credit lines, the ability to move money across borders. Without access to banks abroad, the Israeli economy stops functioning. And such sanctions don't hit only the banks. They hit everyone who banks with them – companies, exporters, importers, investors, employers. When foreign banks become nervous about a country's financial institutions, they tend to cut ties well beyond what the law strictly requires.
In other words, a sweeping financial sanctions regime would push Israel toward the category of Iran or Russia.
It would be worse. Iran and Russia sit on vast oil and gas reserves. Even under sanctions, they keep selling – mainly in Asia and parts of the Global South. Israel's economy is not built on commodities. Its strength comes from integration into the global economy: human capital, technology, research, advanced services.
According to the Israel Innovation Authority, Israeli high-tech exported roughly $85 billion in goods and services in 2025 – 58 percent of all Israeli exports – and accounted for about half of the economy's growth. It is the engine of the economy, and it depends on foreign markets, foreign capital, and the free movement of money.
Netanyahu did not say who might impose banking sanctions. A prime minister raising this possibility, in the same breath as forecasting the end of U.S. aid, should prompt immediate questions. Is he referring to European sanctions? American ones? above all: how did Israel get to the point where this is being discussed at all?
There was more - and much worse.

פוסט סיכום לקראת הבחירות
זה יהיה פוסט קצר למרות שיש המון מה לכתוב. הוא יהיה קצר כי על אף הנושאים הרבים שעל הפרק, כולם ראויים וחשובים לדיון, יש נושא אחד שמאפיל על כל הנושאים האחרים, ונוגע לחיים, פשוטו כמשמעו, של כל אזרח ישראלי.
והנושא הוא האיום הגרעיני מצד איראן.
אני לא רוצה לדון כלל על העבר. רק על העתיד. אם תיפול פה פצצת גרעין, היא תיפול על כולם, בלי קשר לדעותיהם הפוליטיות ובלי קשר לאחריותם למה שקרה.
המשטר באיראן מתנדנד על בלימה. מכה חזקה, מחושבת, שמוביל להתקוממות של העם המדוכא באיראן עשויה להביא להפלת המשטר וכינונו של שלטון חדש אשר יוותר על השאיפה להשמידנו, ויכונן יחסים טובים גם עם ישראל.
קיבלנו סיוע משמיים בדמותו של הנשיא דונלד טראמפ. תאהבו או תשנאו, הוא הנשיא הראשון שהבין שאת המשטר הזה יש לעצור בטרם ידהר לגרעין, ופעל ופועל להשיג את המטרה הזו. הוא גם מבין עוד שני דברים חשובים, בחושיו החדים:
ראשית, מכל בעלות בריתה של ארה"ב באזור, יש רק אחת עליה הוא סומך לחלוטין: ישראל.
ושנית, את המשימה הוא יוכל להשלים רק עם בנימין נתניהו שהוכיח את עצמו כמנהיג בזמן מלחמה.
את הדברים הללו הוא אומר, במפורש או במשתמע, וצריך להיות עיוור וחירש לא לראות ולהקשיב. הוא אמר זאת לפני שבוע, וחזר על כך אמש.
לנשיא טראמפ נותרו רק שנתיים בתפקידו. איננו יודעים מי יגיע אחריו, וגם אם בבית הלבן יהיה נשיא אוהד ישראל, קשה להאמין שמישהו יעז לקחת את ההחלטות הקשות שלוקח הנשיא טראמפ.
גם בישראל, מהסתכלות על דברי ומעשי המועמדים האחרים, קשה לראות מישהו שיעז לקחת החלטות נועזות כפי שנלקחו בשלוש השנים האחרונות. על אחת כמה וכמה אם קיום הממשלה יהיה תלוי בקולות של מפלגות ערביות שמתנגדות בחריפות לכל פעולה כזו.
ולכן, כל אחד שחייו יקרים לו, בין אם הוא אוהב את נתניהו ובין אם הוא מתעב אותו, חייב להבין שיש חשיבות עליונה שלפחות בשנתיים הקרובות תהיה פה ממשלה בהנהגת נתניהו, שביחד עם הנשיא טראמפ תחסל את האיום הזה אחת ולתמיד.
במדינה נורמלית, ניתן היה להניח שגם הצבעה למפלגה אחרת מלבד "מחל" הייתה מביאה לתוצאה הזו, במסגרת של אחדות כלשהי. אבל כאשר כל מנהיגי הגוש השני נשבעים בנקיטת חפץ שלא יישבו שום אופן תחת נתניהו, אין דרך אחרת.
ליברמן הרי אמר במילותיו: "שיתהפך העולם - אני לא אשב תחת ביבי". יכול היה גם לומר: "שתיפול פה פצצה גרעינית - אני לא אשב תחת ביבי". כמה עצוב.
ולכן, אני מפציר בכם – גלו ראייה היסטורית. הבינו את גודל השעה ואת האיום הניצב בפנינו, כמו גם את ההזדמנויות האדירות שתיפתחנה לאחר שיוסר – הזדמנויות של הסכמי שלום, בריתות מדיניות, כלכלה, תחבורה, תיירות ועוד היד נטויה.
נתניהו לא יהיה פה לנצח. יש שיצטערו, ויש שישמחו. אבל צו השעה כרגע – הצביעו מחל בראשות בנימין נתניהו.
תגובות לא ענייניות תימחקנה. תודה על תשומת לבכם לעניין.
🚨Living in safety thousands of miles away doesn't give you a vote on our survival.
👉Global opinion doesn't stop rockets, and external commentary ignores Israeli reality.
📌Here is the blunt truth about Israeli elections, security, and coalition math👇🏻
IMPORTANT: This is for everyone to understand how Israeli elections actually work. Too many people especially in the US are offering opinions and “demands” of how they want to see it go and who should or shouldn’t be in.
Now aside from the fact that it’s up to Israelis to decide (and only Israelis) it is more important than ever that people stop using their views on personalities to justify, directly or indirectly, knowingly or unknowingly, whitewashing the atrocities committed by the Arabs against Israel and the effect it’s had on how Israelis view security and more. Many of us simply don’t care about global opinion. That doesn’t mean it’s not important, but it does mean that it is so far down the list of priorities because it has never been a given and because it doesn’t really make any difference what we do or don’t do.
What’s also become clearer than ever is that the difference between Jews in Israel and Jews in the diaspora is like night and day. When the Jews in the diaspora have to live through what Israelis do every day, week and month for the past 78 years, then by all means you can have an opinion. But while living in the lap of safety thousands of miles away and never knowing what it’s like to be surrounded by millions of people wanting your extermination and actually doing it through rockets and suicide attacks and more, the opinions simply mean nothing. Israel doesn’t actually have to do anything for Jews to be hated. You’d think the Holocaust made that clear.
So here goes… the Israeli elections explained:
Americans keep treating Israeli elections like a US presidential race. They aren’t.
In Israel you vote for a party list, not for a prime minister. There are 120 seats in the Knesset. No party has ever won 61 seats by itself. That means there is never a clear “winner” on election night.
Someone still has to assemble a coalition of parties that can get to 61 and pass a confidence vote.
After the results are official, the President talks to the party leaders and picks one person (usually the leader of the biggest party or the one with the best shot at a majority) and gives them the job of trying to form a government. They get 28 days, which can be extended by another 14. If they fail, the President can hand the job to someone else. If that also fails, the country goes back to the polls.
Until a new government is actually sworn in, the old one stays in place as a caretaker. So Netanyahu remains prime minister while all of this happens. It can easily take a month or more.
This is why Israel has had repeated elections in recent years. Parties that promised never to sit with each other sometimes have to choose between breaking that promise or forcing everyone back to the ballot box. The person who ends up prime minister is not necessarily the one whose party got the most seats. It’s the one who can put together a coalition that holds.
That’s the system. Election night doesn’t decide the next prime minister. The coalition negotiations do.
🚨 For Tehran, the choice between Bibi and Eisenkot isn't political—it’s the difference between immediate execution and life support👇🏻
تفاوت نگاه جمهوری اسلامی به بیبی و آیزنکوت (رئیس سابق ستاد کل ارتش اسرائیل و چهرهی شاخص جناح میانهرو)، تفاوت بین مرگ قطعی و فوری با امید به خریدن زمان و تنفس مصنوعیه.
دلیل اینکه اتاقهای فکر بازماندگان رژیم و لابیهای رسانهایشون در غرب با تمام وجود آرزو میکنن که نتانیاهو بره و چهرهای مثل آیزنکوت بهجاش بیاد، به خاطر چند دلیله:
دکترین قطع سَر اختاپوس (رویکرد بیبی) در برابر چمنزنی (ژنرالهای سنتی):
آیزنکوت یک ژنرال کلاسیک نظامیه (مبدع دکترین ضاحیه در سال ۲۰۰۶).
ذهنیت ژنرالهای سنتی و جناح میانهرو در اسرائیل سالها بر اساس مدیریت درگیری و مهار (Containment) بنا شده بود، یعنی هر چند سال یکبار بازوهای نیابتی رو بزنن، یک توافق امنیتی ببندن و از خیر درگیری تمامعیار با مرکز اصلی در تهران بگذرن.
اما نتانیاهو بازی رو از «مهار» به «تغییر رژیم و قطع کامل سرِ اختاپوس در تهران» تغییر داد. رژیم میدونه که با بیبی، هیچ معاملهای روی میز نیست جز سقوط کامل؛ اما امیدواره که با اومدن آیزنکوت، اسرائیل دوباره به همون سیاست محافظهکارانهی مهار و آتشبسهای مقطعی برگرده.
هماهنگی کامل آیزنکوت با مکتب اوباما-بایدن برای بازگشت دیپلماسی مهار:
بزرگترین کابوس رژیم، زمانیه که نخستوزیر اسرائیل به حرف دموکراتها و لابییستهای مماشاتگر در واشنگتن گوش نمیده و رأساً عملیات انهدام رو جلو میبره (کاری که بیبی در دوران بایدن انجام داد).
جناح آیزنکوت و گانتس به شدت مقید به هماهنگی کامل با جناح چپ و دموکرات آمریکا هستند. جمهوری اسلامی روی این حساب باز کرده که اگه آیزنکوت بیاد، بلافاصله زیر چتر دیپلماسی لابییستهای واشنگتن میره، عملیاتهای تهاجمی و نقطهزنی در عمق خاک ایران رو متوقف میکنه و به رژیم فرصت میده تا زیر سایهی مذاکرات غیرمستقیم، ساختار از هم پاشیدهش رو ترمیم کنه و به بمب اتم برسه تا مثل کره شمالی بشه!
آیزنکوت که خودش هم پسرش رو در جنگ غزه از دست داد، در ماههای گذشته بارها اعلام کرده که باید حتی به قیمت توقف کامل جنگ و پذیرش آتشبس طولانیمدت، اولویت رو به قراردادها و مدیریت بحران داخلی داد.
مافیای امنیتی اتاق فکر تهران این سیگنال رو به عنوان خستگی و قول عقبنشینی میدونه که: «کسی که حاضر بود برای بستن پروندهی غزه که انتقام خون پسر خودش هم بهحساب میاد، ماشین جنگی رو متوقف کنه، قطعاً حوصله و ریسکپذیری لازم برای پایان جنگ با هدف براندازی در تهران رو نخواهد داشت!»
نتانیاهو تنها رهبر خارجیه که به طور علنی و مستقیم با مردم ایران و آلترناتیو ملیگرا صحبت میکنه و رسماً از لزوم آزادی ایران از شر فرقهی تبهکار حرف میزنه.
برای یکی مثل آیزنکوت، تغییر رژیم در ایران یک پروژهی پرریسک سیاسیه که احتمالا ترجیح میده با هر رژیمی که در تهران مستقره و پروژهی پوستاندازی کنار بیاد تا اینکه سراغ براندازی کامل بره!
نخستوزیر نتانیاهو با شناخت بسیار دقیق از ایران و جناحهای سیاسی در ایران به خوبی و درستی میدونه که بقایِ اسرائیل به سقوط جمهوری اسلامی و آزادی ایران گره خورده در حالی که جناح مقابل، هنوز دنبال توهم کوتاه اومدن پروژهی پوستاندازی رژیم، دل خوش کرده و کل طرفداری بقایای جمهوریاسلامی از آیزنکوت هم سر همین مسئلهست!
