So that we do not enter the Israeli era

Netanyahu and his choir never stop repeating the slogan of the need to change the Middle East, which is an old colonial concept that began at the beginning of the last century and took on tempting and ambiguous names as well, the latest of which was what Netanyahu referred to when he divided the region into countries of blessing and countries of curse, which is another vision that reproduces Balkanization, creative chaos, the dismantling of the Arab world, Sykes-Picot and San Remo. Dismantling our countries has always been a dream of the colonialists since the Frankish invasions in the eleventh century, as they believe that we do not rise to the stage of forming peoples or countries, but rather we are just primitive tribes with backward and stupid mentalities and we can be controlled like herds, God bless you.

The important thing here is that Netanyahu, who wants to change the Middle East into acceptable and rejected states, ultimately means destroying those states that are seething with resentment, and allying with those states that enjoy blessings and mercy. The man aims to reconstruct Arab demography and political geography. He wants to rename things, create entities and establish new weak and fragile pockets and regions that depend on him for everything. The man wants to be the master of the region, its protector, its leader, its inspiration, and the maestro who controls its trends and behavior.

This man discovers that the historical moment is very suitable for dismantling the entire region so that he does not have to recognize a free and independent Palestinian state, and that he can fight all arenas until he instills despair and frustration in the hearts of the Palestinian people, as if he wants to say that peace is no longer possible at all, and that the time and place require the imposition of a security settlement, not a political one. In other words, Netanyahu, with his colonial and supremacist intellectual and ideological load, believes that peace or a settlement in the sense of equality and partnership, including the establishment of a Palestinian state, is no longer possible after all that has happened, and that it is now necessary to use force in its broadest sense, political, religious, military and media.

Israel, driven and protected by the colonial West headed by the United States of America, wants to regain everything it lost after October 7, 2023, and not only that, but to dismantle what is around it, dominate it and control its rhythm, so that it no longer threatens or is likely to threaten. Based on this, Israel does not want to cut off roads, confiscate and monopolize wealth, or monitor armament operations only, but rather wants to control the language of the media, the contexts of school curricula, and the language of discourse in the public sphere. It also wants to design the systems and their internal and external relations.

Israel now wants to create a model that has never existed in history before, I mean, the invader who wants to be loved and accepted by force and for his suffering to be understood and for him to be rewarded for his injustice. Israel does not want to be a liberal occupation or an enlightened or invisible occupation. No, it wants an occupation that is as if it is God’s gift to the people, or that this occupation is an inevitable divine destiny. More than that, it wants an occupation that defies the course of history and triumphs over it as an act and divine will above laws and traditions. This gives it the right to change the entire region through dismantling, occupation, genocide, displacement, and permanent threats, and to strip peoples of their sources of wealth and military capabilities and prevent them from developing, uniting, and integrating. It gives it the right to demand that it not be tried, questioned, or criticized. It gives it the right to impose its illusions on the entire world and for those illusions to be dealt with as if they were facts. It gives it the right to demand that the world deal with it as a witness to a miracle of the Lord’s miracles.

Now, after fifteen months of war on our people, a war that began with certain parties and objectives and will end - if it ends - with other parties and objectives, Israel is in the process of placing the entire region under its wing and subjecting its will and the will of its people to it and controlling its development directly and indirectly under the pretext of seeking and consolidating security and saving Israel from its fates. This new chapter in the developments of the Arab-Israeli conflict heralds the entry of the entire region into what could be called the Israeli era.

The question is: Is there an Arab project to confront this era with all that it contains?! Is there a unified strategy to respond, absorb, confront, or thwart it?! By the way, the absence of such a project will simply mean that everyone in the region will pay the price or tax of that era, each according to his position and each according to his ability.
