Iran – not Israel – is the problem

HAVING read Farouk Araie and Peter Baker’s letters about the supposed Armageddon staring us in the face and that Peace can be had in the Middle East, I realised just how immensely biased the pro-Palestine camp has become, and how excruciatingly hostile they are towards the small nation of Israel.

Let me address Mr Araie first: Your fear of a global war is partially understandable, but also very premeditated and overstated. A lot still needs to happen before we will see all nations rising up against one another. Early on in your letter, you mention the “demolishing of Palestine” ... as if this worldly chaos is largely attributable to Israel’s valid and calculated retaliation of the Hamas regime.

If you think that the current global unrest and chaotic uprising of nations have more to do with Israel’s actions than Joe Biden’s brainless political decisions, think again! It’s the Obama/ Biden administration coupled with the hijacking of the 2020 US elections and unfair removal of Trump that has sparked all this unsavoury societal collapse and deterioration.

The problem was and is not Israel, my friend. The problem is Islamic aggression; they are the ones who want to persecute, control, oppress and usher in a “New World Order” where everyone must bow down to their ideas.

May I also mention that not all Muslims are bad people, and not all Iranians are on the same page as their arrogant, bloodthirsty, rocket-shooting, Jew hating Iranian regime. The people of Iran are now starting to stand with Israel, and so, too, the Arab nations – and even Jordan. So who do you think is the problem?

Now let me address Mr Peter Baker: You call Israel out for having “collective amnesia” and accuse them of having a superiority complex.

Are you serious, sir? Let me reassure you that in this world, when a tiny nation such as Israel is attacked from so many different angles by so many proxies of the Iranian octopus, any soberly minded country or nation would fight back to assure their sovereignty and to protect its people.

And by the way, Prime Minister Netanyahu once hosted Piers Morgan in Israel and demonstrated to him just how small Israel really is – he took a map of the Middle East, used the palm of his hand to cover up all the surrounding nations, and when he got to Israel, all he needed was his thumb. Let that sink in. And you want to blame Israel for all this chaos and bloodshed?

It is the Iranians who have now been unmasked – it is the Ayatollah regime that has shown the world who they really are. Israel should strike while they can, and the Western world, together with the US and Israel, now has the best possible opportunity to end the Iranian terrorist regime. The world will be a much better place. Believe me.
