This is a sharp, clear-eyed analysis—and an uncomfortable one, because it exposes how much of this movement rests on illusion.

But the real question is whether anything actually changes. History says no. Every defeat hasn’t weakened the ideology—it’s hardened it. That’s because this isn’t just politics. For many, it functions like a religious conviction. And you don’t defeat that with battlefield losses.

If there’s any hope, it’s not military—it’s education. As long as children are taught that Israel is temporary and violence is justified, nothing changes. Change what they’re taught, and you change the future. Don’t, and we’re just repeating the same cycle.

And even if Iran weakens, let’s not kid ourselves—others are ready to step in. Qatar and Turkey are already deeply involved financially and politically . The vacuum won’t stay empty.

So yes, a reckoning may be coming. But unless the ideology itself is confronted—especially in schools, media, and religious institutions—it won’t matter. The players may change. The mindset won’t.

The Palestinians never miss an opportunity to miss an opportunity ! Famous words by Abba Eban that never change.

The so called "Palestinian" entity was supported and funded primarily by the West and the UN since it was established by the KGB in the 60s.

They would not have survive a day without the massive funds transferred to them including UNRWA.

The Arab states supported them with arms, ammunition, training and politics.

Like Yul Brynner's Pharoah in "The Ten Commandments", perhaps they need to acknowledge that " Moses' god, is G-d." After that, the solutions become simple.

From your lips…! May the Palestinian leadership wake up and give up perpetual victimology in favour of peaceful coexistence! 🙏 ⏰ ☮️

Religious Messianic Millennialism, and Marx’s doctrine of the ‘inevitably successful Proletariat revolution’, are the same; the primitive psychology of wishful thinking, dressed up in the language, the narrative and the propaganda of the inevitable Arc of Success as History itself being on their side. Reality however is very different. Eternal Vigilance has rewarded both Israel and The West. Nazism was defeated, and the Totalitarianism of religious and secular ideas have been defeated too. But Sadly though, our vigilance must be permanent because Psychology is primitive: and thus the bogus attractions of Extremist Religion and Politics are never quite defeatable.

And this is why those in our streets and on cap hill want the Iranian regime to remain in power. Because they all want Israel gone. And we all know that includes lots of leftist jews too
