The land of the Middle East has been damp with the smell of gunpowder and the blood of the innocent for decades, but in recent years, the rising tension between the United States and Iran has brought this region to a brink from which there seems to be no return.
When students of global politics study this complex situation deeply, the truth becomes clear as day: the root cause and catalyst of all this chaos is Israel. This cat-and-mouse game between Washington and Tehran is essentially a war being fought to protect the Israeli agenda.
This is precisely why neither Washington nor Tehran has been able to cool this fire, for the key to ending this conflict lies with a state whose very survival is embedded in war, strife, and chaos. Israel's historical background bears witness that it has never accepted peace as a viable option; rather, its entire history is a relentless sequence of wars, occupations, and atrocities against humanity.
Since the very first day of its illegitimate creation in 1948, Israel has maintained a fabricated and false propaganda campaign against the Middle East and the Muslim world at large, aimed at cloaking its expansionist ambitions in a religious shroud.
The Zionist ideology posits that they have been religiously ordained as the rulers of a specific territory, even though those lands have belonged to others for centuries. In the name of "reclaiming" these areas, the bloodshed Israel has unleashed has left an indelible stain on the face of humanity.
From the first Arab-Israeli war of 1948, which Palestinians call the 'Nakba' or Great Catastrophe, to the present day, Israel has made it its habit to violate the sovereignty of all its neighbours.
Whether it was the invasion of Egypt in 1956 or the Six-Day War of 1967, where Israel seized the lands of neighbouring countries through deception, it has consistently held international laws in utter contempt.
The 1982 invasion of Lebanon and the horrific massacre of Palestinians in the Sabra and Shatila camps remain heinous crimes that history can never forget.
The Israeli war mania is not limited to territorial occupation alone; it is a doctrine built upon the destruction of Muslims and the wider world.
Israel's history is another name for war, and as long as it exists in this tyrannical form, peace for humanity will remain a mirage
Zionist ideologues believe that Israeli supremacy can only be maintained if all surrounding Muslim states remain politically, economically, and defensively paralysed.
Under this doctrine, Israel has turned the world's superpowers into its instruments to fulfil the dream of "Greater Israel."
If one examines American foreign policy, it appears to revolve entirely around Israeli interests.
The United States, which portrays itself as a champion of human rights, decimates a strong Arab state like Iraq at Israel’s behest, plunges Libya and Syria into the fires of civil war, and fuels economic and military confrontation against Iran.
The sole purpose of these actions is to weaken Israel’s enemies so that its hegemony in the region remains unchallenged.
The invasion of Iraq resulted in the deaths of over a million innocent human beings, and the credit for this carnage lies directly with the Zionist lobby that persuaded the White House with false propaganda about weapons of mass destruction.
The list of Israeli aggressions is long and terrifying.
Whether it was the 1976 raid on Uganda’s airport, the destruction of Iraq's nuclear reactor in 1981, or the 1985 bombing of the PLO headquarters in Tunisia, Israel has never respected the borders of any nation.
The total destruction of Lebanese infrastructure in 2006 and the successive blockades and genocide in Gaza in recent years are practical manifestations of a Zionist ideology that views all other humans as secondary creatures.
In the ongoing war in Gaza since 2023, the way children, women, and hospitals are being targeted has surpassed the cruelties of Hulagu and Genghis Khan.
More than forty thousand innocent Palestinians have been martyred, yet the global conscience and human rights organisations seem helpless before Israel because it enjoys the full financial, military, and diplomatic backing of the United States.
Furthermore, the recent brutal attacks on Lebanon are a continuation of this Zionist doctrine, aimed at destabilising the entire region to establish total dominance.
The recent violations of Lebanese sovereignty have proven that Israel recognises no international border or moral code.
These barbaric attacks began with terrorist explosions through communication devices like pagers and walkie-talkies, targeting thousands of innocent civilians and medical staff.
This was followed by savage bombing of densely populated areas in Beirut and southern Lebanon that revived the haunting memories of the 2006 war.
The use of phosphorus bombs and the deliberate targeting of civilian populations is an old Israeli tactic intended to spread terror among the Lebanese people and deter them from resistance.
Israel has not only targeted leaders but has spared neither hospitals, schools, nor refugee camps, forcing hundreds of thousands of Lebanese to flee their homes.
The American characterisation of these attacks as "defensive action" is the ultimate proof of global hypocrisy, where the killer is provided with weapons and given a free hand for every crime.
This recent aggression against Lebanon is actually part of a larger Zionist plan to occupy the southern part of the country and complete the map of "Greater Israel."
It is crucial to understand that Israel's ultimate goal is not just the genocide of Palestinians; it seeks to push the entire world toward a major war in which global powers collide, allowing Israel to exploit the chaos to realise its expansionist dream from the Nile to the Euphrates.
It wants the world to remain in a state of permanent conflict because, in a state of peace, there would be no justification for its aggression.
The toxic propaganda it has spread against Muslims aims to link the Islamic world with terrorism to seize their resources and damage their moral and religious standing.
Today, the fire burning in the Middle East is fuelled by innocent people whose only crime is their desire to live freely on their own land.
The American use of the veto for every Israeli crime and the provision of billions of dollars in lethal weaponry prove that this is not just Israel's war, but a war of a global cabal aimed at humiliating humanity and establishing the dominance of a specific ideology.
Until the international community recognises and restrains this Israeli war mania and Zionist doctrine, there can be no peace between the United States and Iran, nor can the world be safe from a major catastrophe.
Israel's history is another name for war, and as long as it exists in this tyrannical form, peace for humanity will remain a mirage.
This column is a call to all those who dare to see the truth: to recognise where the real discord originates and whose hands hold the strings of this fire that threatens to burn the entire world to ashes.
