After the Israeli terrorist attack using bombers, massive rocket attacks and bombings began in southern Lebanon.
Israel has clearly decided to turn from victim to executioner, after the genocide of the people of Gaza, by starting the genocide of the people of Lebanon. This inevitably means the inclusion in the war of the other Shia countries and movements: Syria, Iraq, the Zaydis of Yemen and, above all, Iran and – at the next stage – the Sunni states.
Israel clearly needs war. It seems large-scale, merciless, cruel, biblical. This conflict has no chance of remaining local. Escalation is imminent and the use of nuclear weapons, which Israel has, but which Iran may also have. Of course, here we are talking only about regular nuclear weapons or “dirty” bombs, which in the context of all humanity are not fatal, but this will affect the fate of the region in the most devastating way.
But what is Netanyahu really trying to achieve?
The mental stress in no way clears up the real goals of this war, which is only raging. The fact is that Israel’s position on the eve of the Gaza war was generally stable.
The main threat was demography, since Israeli society in the Arabian Sea is only a small ethno-religious area, which remains so even with a high birth rate not only among Orthodox Jews (Haredi), but also in secular families.
And still, this is incomparably small if we add to the Palestinians of the two autonomies and to Israel itself the population of the neighboring Arab countries, which are related to the Palestinians both ethnically and religiously. In such a situation, any strengthening of Israel’s position in the region, not to mention the colonization of Palestinian lands by Israeli settlers, was simply impossible.
By maintaining the status quo, Israel as a Jewish state was doomed to disappear after a certain period of time, even demographically. Moreover, the implementation of the right-wing Zionist plan of Greater Israel from sea to sea seemed completely unthinkable. There is simply no one to populate or develop these areas with the presence of a dense Arab mass on all sides.
And yet, despite this, Netanyahu launched military operations in Gaza and expanded them to the territory of southern Lebanon. In Gaza, we have already seen the discovery of the true goal – the physical genocide of the Palestinians while transporting out of Israel those who survive. As creepy as it sounds, it makes sense for Israel (please for more analysis read the article titled “If Hezbollah collapses, Israel will attack Iran“).
1. Eplanation of Israel attitude: The Biblical “mission” of Israel
Not being able to change our own demographics dramatically enough, we are left to destroy the population, which by its very existence and its ethno-religious code interferes with the implementation of eschatological projects. But this would be reckless and unrealized unless there was an expectation that something extraordinary would happen after a decisive discovery.
This extraordinary event is the coming of the Messiah. According to Jewish views, before the coming of the Messiah (although, according to some versions, after his coming, which explains the anti-Zionist currents among Orthodox Jews), the Jews must:
- to return en masse to the Promised Land from the diaspora,
- to declare Jerusalem as the capital, and
- then to demolish the Al-Aqsa Mosque, Islam’s second most important shrine, and
- in its place to build the Third Temple.
Then the Messiah will come and all the nations of the world will worship him, since his power will be absolute. This will be the time of the establishment of the world Jewish empire, and the Jews, as the elect, will rule the nations with a rod of iron.
About this program is openly professed by religious Zionists from Netanyahu’s inner circle – Itamar Ben-Gvir, Bezalel Smotrich, as well as their spiritual leaders Rabbi Kook, Meyer Kahane and contemporary Rabbi Dov Lior.
The Palestinian genocide in this model is a secondary side effect due to the fundamental nature of the coming event. Netanyahu relies on this group.
The building of Greater Israel and the accompanying eschatological wars make sense precisely in the context of the conditions for the coming of the Messiah. It is no coincidence that Hamas called its terror raid the Al-Aqsa Flood.
It should also be noted that among the Shias such a scenario of the demolition of the Al-Aqsa Mosque and the initiation of the final war with the forces of Dajjal (Antichrist) in the Holy Land is common to all.
Armageddon is coming
In other words, Armageddon is raging in the Middle East in the literal sense – the war of the Times. That’s how Netanyahu and his entourage see it, but religious Shiites see it exactly the same way, albeit from the other pole.
Of course, secular Israelis, who believe in nothing but shekels and personal comfort, are quick to protest against their own government. And the secular circles of the Shia countries – mainly businessmen and young people – do not know any eschatological hadith.
But history now, as we see, is not driven by them, but by people with a heightened awareness of the end of the world and the events that accompany it.
2. Eplanation of Israel attitude: for the war in the Middle East is geopolitical in nature
Our era is passing under the banner of the main dilemma: the unipolar world, i.e. the sole hegemony of the West, does not want to end and is trying with all its might to defend itself, and a multipolar world is rising against it.
With renewed vigour, each civilization insists on complete sovereignty, and therefore independence from the collective West, which inevitably leads to a struggle against hegemony.
The first front of this war is Ukraine, where the government of Kiev, installed, equipped and supported by the collective West, is waging war against Russia, which represents the Orthodox Christian Eurasian civilization, one of the most important poles of the multipolar world and flagship of the anti-hegemonic struggle.
The West is fighting with someone else’s hands, but it is preparing to join the war with Russia directly. In this context, the Middle East is another theater of the same war of a unipolar world against a multipolar one.
If in the eyes of Netanyahu and the eschatological Zionists, Israel and the fate of the Jewish people, inextricably linked to the Messiah, are at the center of the world, then for Western globalists Israel itself is only a tool in the struggle to preserve of planetary hegemony.
The Islamic world, which rejects liberal values, is seen as a rival culture. And with it, the collective West is gradually dragged into war. In addition, the Shiites are the ideological vanguard in Islamic civilization, so the power of the West falls primarily on them.
With the hands of Israel, the West hopes to strike yet another — Islamic — pole of the multipolar world. To these ends, Washington is now hastily strengthening its alliance with its proxies among the Sunni countries, mainly the UAE.
They hardly believe in the Messiah in Washington (though who knows?), but opening a front against Islamic civilization using militant Zionism and the plans of Greater Israel is the obvious goal of the globalists.
Taiwan is the next battlefield
Taiwan will follow and a conflict with another pole of the multipolar world – China.
Again, the collective West will rely on regional proxies—Taiwan itself, Japan, South Korea—and try to drag India into this coalition. Although India is another pole of multipolarity, and to besiege Delhi’s move towards anti-Western decolonization and further dominance, the West promoted the recent color revolution against the pro-India government of Bangladesh led by Sheikh Hasina.
It is obvious that other fronts of the same war are being prepared – in Africa and Latin America, as well as in various parts of the Islamic world. The fate of the coming world order will be decided by all: whether the West will maintain its hegemony or a multipolar world will become a reality, and the West in it will become only one of many civilizations with the right to vote, but deprived of the status of ruler and even a leader.
But for now we are in the second stage – on the brink of a major war in the Middle East.
Before we understand how to approach this second front of the great geopolitical redistribution of the world, we must clearly understand the goals of the global participants in this conflict and not build unnecessary illusions about the rational and mystical-religious motivations of the main active forces.
Today we need a geopolitical realism that takes into account with coolness and restraint all the fundamental factors of the predicament in which we – and all humanity – find ourselves.
Emotions must be put aside in favor of a cold assessment of what is happening, including those dimensions that we were not used to taking into account during the era of the Soviet and liberal regime in Russia.
Previously, everything was explained by ideology, economics, energy and the battle for resources. All this is present today, but it is certainly not the main thing. Much more weighty are thoughts of an eschatological, cultural and planetary-geopolitical nature.
