“Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me.” So, how is it that the Arab world manages to fool so much of the world over and over? 

Common verified facts. There are presently 57 Muslim majority states in the world, 22 of which are Arab states. There is presently only one Jewish state in the world.  Can any half-intelligent, semi-logical person say that the Muslims are entitled to 57 states, but one state is one too many for the Jewish people? 

Saudi Arabia is 830,000 square miles. Iran is 636,400 square miles. Egypt is 386,900 square miles. Iraq is 169,234 square miles. Syria is 71,498 square miles. Jordan is 34,485 square miles. Israel is 8,470 square miles. Israel is barely a visible speck on a map. Can any sane, rational person look at these numbers and decide that it is Israel that should be divided?

After the Six Day War, which was started by the Arab World invasion and won by Israel, Israel gave up the Golan Heights and the Sinai Peninsula. Israel also gave up 17.37 square miles to the Arabs to form Gaza and 2,264 square miles to form the West Bank. Sadly, Israel forfeited land in exchange for peace, which Israel craves but for which the Arabs have no true interest.

The question that haunts everyone is why, considering that the army was notified and even witnessed, in advance, that Palestinian Hamas terrorists were planning and openly preparing and practicing for October 7th, why were all the warning signs ignored?

People, including many naive Israelis, mistakenly assume that all people have the same core values. We think, “Everyone wants to live in peace. Everyone wants to support and take care of their families. We all want to give our children the best education so they can get good jobs and live comfortably. We all want our children to grow up with good values and live healthy, productive lives.” 

Israel dismantled 21 thriving Jewish settlements and gave the Palestinians what they had no right to, but nevertheless demanded “ a homeland where they had self-rule and self-determination.” Gaza is a stunning piece of land with spectacular beaches, fertile fields, thriving hothouses, and infinite potential. Prior to October 7th, tens of thousands of Palestinians were permitted entry to Israel daily in order to earn a good living. Tons of Palestinian leaders were being bribed by Israel to keep them happy and retain the peace. Why would anyone attack Israel, disrupt the peace, put themselves, their wives, their children, and their grandchildren in harm's way, especially knowing that Israel has such a powerful army?

But Arabs don’t think as we do. Their mentality, their goals, their fanatic radicalism, and their ingrained, warped, barbaric upbringing make their calculations different from ours. As Golda Meir said, “There will never be peace until the Arabs love their children more than they hate the Jews.” Rather than taking the opportunity to build and develop a prosperous, flourishing land, they built terror tunnels and amassed weapons. They celebrate death rather than life. The children dream of becoming martyrs. The parents are elated to have their children die in the name of Allah. They crave the ridiculous lies promised them in the world to come, rather than enjoying the riches of the world in which they live. They claim they are not sad that 5,000 died (which is a trumped-up number) because there are 50,000 pregnancies and births. How can one compare a fetus or newborn to a child you put your kishkas in to raise? To the Palestinians, it is worth disrupting their lives, having their homes and their land destroyed, and their families killed in order to hurt the Jews.

On top of this, the Arabs had a secret weapon - indoctrination, public relations. Infiltration. For years, the Arab world has used its finances to penetrate the schools, the media, and even the government. Who could ever imagine that terrorists who attack, rape, burn and kidnap, would have so much of the world not only accepting but lauding their actions. Who would ever believe that world leaders would speak to, negotiate with, and even show respect to terrorists as if they were normal human beings? How can it be that the world is making demands on Israel rather than organizing to destroy this insane, sick, heartless, corrupt cancer of the earth? 

The Arabs have another secret weapon in their favor - the Jews themselves. Jews love hard. The Arabs know that as long as they have one Jew, dead or alive, they are in control.  Israel will not give up on the hope of saving one kidnapped individual and will never accept the idea of not bringing back a Jewish soul for a proper burial and giving some closure to a grieving family. Sadly, we are forced to sacrifice so many young, precious, deeply loved soldiers in order to defend our God-given homeland and live our values. Why doesn’t the world recognize, acknowledge, and applaud the depth of Jewish love and Jewish convictions to do what is right? 

Iran sponsors terrorism. The other Arab countries, like Qatar, play innocent, acting as if they want peace, yet each refuses to take in the Palestinians, and even Saudi Arabia demands a ridiculous two-state solution with Jerusalem as the capital. Everyone knows there is no two-state solution when the Palestinians and the Arab world really want a one-state solution. Not only that, they want a one-world solution where eventually democracy is wiped out and Islam and sharia law become the world religion and world order.  

As truth and justice are Jewish values, lies, corruption, and deception are common in the Arab world.  How can President Trump, who is smart, sharp, and a brilliant negotiator, even consider believing that if Iran signs papers saying they will not use uranium for warfare, Iran would not secretly continue its march towards obtaining nuclear weapons? But G-d is handling the negotiations, and Iran’s supreme leader, the Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, has refused to accept Trump's terms and insists Iran will not abandon uranium enrichment.

If the leaders of the free world are smart, they will all support Israel’s initiative to wipe out Iran’s ability to produce weapons of mass destruction. They will realize that the Arabs have a plan to first destroy Israel, then destroy the Big Satan, the United States, and eventually become the masters of the world. Hopefully, the world will wake up, stop being fooled, and realize who the good guys are.
