Is Israeli society addicted to war?
Apr 12th, 2026 at 11:29pm
 
This edition of Al Jazeera Inside Story was so fascinating. I really enjoyed watching it and the panelists responses.

Especially Gideon Levy, who is an Israeli who said "Israelis are ADDICTED to wars".

Essentially, they all agree Israel is in a permanent state of war and that it'll be its undoing.





Has Israeli society become conditioned to permanent war?


12 April 2026

AL JAZEERA

A negative political and public reaction in Israel to the ceasefire with Iran, despite the respite it brings. No pause for Israel's army, however, or its victims. Hundreds have been killed in Lebanon, with more dead in Gaza. Is Israel a society effectively on a permanent war footing?

The Muslim-Jew problem is a religious war that has been going on for 1400 years.

I can't see it ending anytime soon muslims have a religious duty to slaughter the jews.

Islamic imperialists have been killing Jews for 1,400 years. That is the precedent Muhammad set with the Jewish tribes of Arabia. Western observers must stop blaming #Israel for the atrocities of #Hamas. Their hatred of Jews is religious in nature, as their clerics openly admit.

Leftists and the Ayatollahs have a lot in common when it comes to criticism of Islam, they don't tolerate it.

The Muslim(Arab)-Jew problem is a religio-ethnic war that has been going on since the mid-20th century.

It is predicated on Ze'ev Jabotinsky's version of Zionism, which he outlined in his 'The Iron Wall' in the early 1920s.

Since the mid-20th century, Arabs believed they had a duty to resist by any means possible the perceived invasion by foreigners (largely European Jews) of Palestine, which Arabs believe had been taken from them by foreign invaders.

Historically, for most of the last 2000 years, it has been European Christians who believed they had a religious duty to persecute and slaughter the jews.

Muslims want a global Ummah, the entire world to submit to Islam or be killed.
Muslims come to the West and demand that the locals assimilate to them. They want to plant the black flag of Islam everywhere. They fly plans into buildings, drive cars into crowds, bomb and machine gun concerts, theatres and schools, trains, buses, picnics for Allah and Islam all over the world.
Even you would have noticed it.

Are muslims addicted to Jihad?



YES, they are.

Proof ?

1,400 years of history.





The ISLAMISTS are fighting a propaganda war [i.e. a verbal/communication war.....based in lies and misconceptions].

The propaganda war....
It is a tactic...to enable the ISLAMISTS to weaken the resolve....of those whom the ISLAMISTS are assailed against.

The ISLAMISTS have been fighting this very same propaganda war, for 1,400 years.

[i.e. the ISLAMISTS do have a successful 'play book'.
TO WIN, all the ISLAMISTS must do....is follow the learned principles,
of their own WARFARE 'PLAY BOOK'.
]


It is a propaganda war which involves....sophistry and blatant deceit.

And......if you [a secular 'tribe'] choose-to be 'overcome' by the sofistry and the blatant deceit of the ISLAMISTS,
it will be, because you choose to attribute fairness to your enemy [the ISLAMISTS].

And, in the end, the secular 'tribe' will get tired, of this constant 'friction'.....and say;
'What is the point of fighting an enemy, who is virtuous and fair ?'


That is, and has been the battle strategy of the ISLAMISTS for 1,400 years.

And ISLAMISTS in those 1,400 years, have defeated many enemies,
and then overwhelmed them.

And........only after the secular 'tribe' have been defeated.....do the secular 'tribe' come to realise,
that when the ISLAMISTS said 'We want peace, and fairness'.......
what the ISLAMISTS really meant was.......
that PEACE [and justice], comes only from submission to ISLAM....and submission to ISLAMIC law.......


Dictionary,
sophistry = = the use of fallacious arguments, especially to deceive.

ISLAM, moslems, define 'peace' as submission to ISLAM.

Iran's Regime Is Not Iran:
The War the West Refuses to Understand


by Pierre Rehov
April 19, 2026

One of the most persistent and dangerous misreadings of the confrontation with Iran is the stubborn confusion between a brutal ideological regime and the people it has oppressed for nearly five decades.



.....In January 2026, the Iranian regime launched one of the deadliest crackdowns in its modern history, with protests met by a "shoot-to-kill" order "by any means necessary," issued by the late Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei on January 9.

       [Recently 10,000's of Iranian citizens....were slaughtered
because they   OPENLY   challenged the legitimacy of ISLAMIC authority, inside Iran - YADDA.......]
Estimates vary, but internal health data and independent investigations suggest that between 30,000 and 36,500 protesters were killed in just two days, and tens of thousands more wounded or arrested in January alone.

The idea that Iran's beleaguered people will suddenly, somehow, with no weapons whatsoever, magically rise up and take back their country from a regime armed to the teeth and
with a rich record of mass-murder
is beyond delusional.
The result would be equivalent to the Warsaw Ghetto, whose last few hundred inhabitants tried to take on the German army, or the US resistance at the Alamo: heroic but predictably headed to defeat.

.......
The worst result would be for the Trump Administration to throw Iran's desperate citizens from a ruthless clerical frying pan into a ruthless militaristic fire.
The brutality would be the same, just secular instead of religious -- a predatory system whose power rests on projecting strength at home while playing the victim abroad.

The Iranian people have shown repeatedly that they do not identify with the rulers who claim to speak for them.


This is a population held hostage, not a nation united behind its regime.



Western critics who call a military approach – even one that has offered the regime many off-ramps – reckless should answer a simple question: what is the alternative?
More rounds of negotiations with a regime that has violated every agreement it ever signed?
Passive acceptance while thousands more Iranians are jailed, tortured, or executed?
Moral grandstanding without consequences?
That is not a policy — it is abdication.

"Iran is a 47-year-old war crime." — US Senator John Fetterman (D-PA).

The real Iran — the one that protests, resists, and yearns for normal life — has been the victim of a war its leaders have waged on it for decades.

The real tragedy would be to prolong any part of it.

Until this strategic distinction is understood, debates about Iran will remain trapped in the same sterile cycle of confusion and fear — the very environment in which the West has enabled the regime not only to thrive, but to prevail.

https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/22452/understanding-iran-regime

[the whole article is just a click away.]



When will secularists, in this world, in 2026, come to accept......that we [secularists] cannot reason with an ISLAMIST.

Why so ?

Because.....it is not ISLAMICALLY LAWFUL for a devout ISLAMIST, to construct and agree to,
any arrangement,
where a devout ISLAMIST agrees to permanently cede [civil] 'authority',
to a [majority supported] secular [and un-ISLAMIC] political authority.

That circumstance....is always.....HARAM.



+++


[FROM MY ARCHIVE....]
ISLAM REJECTS SHARING POLITICAL AUTHORITY,
WITH ANY un-ISLAMIC POLITICAL AUTHORITY


Jahiliyya = = the un-ISLAMIC lifestyle, e.g. a society which embraces political pluralism.




Quote:

"THE RIGHT TO JUDGE"
"It is not the function of Islam to compromise
with the concepts of Jahiliyya which are current in the world
or to co-exist
in the same land together with a jahili system........"



SAYYID QUTB - ISLAMIC scholar
http://www.islamworld.net/justice.html

or, WWW search;
"THE RIGHT TO JUDGE" SAYYID QUTB



i.e.
"The 'Jahiliyya' lifestyle is totally incompatible with ISLAM."

And in fact, to devout moslems, the mere existence of non-moslem communities/states
is viewed as insulting to the authority of Allah.
...because you see, ISLAMIC religious doctrine.....teaches, that moslems 'deserve' to have 'authority', to rule the whole world.....for Allah.



Jahiliyya is a result of the lack of Sharia [ISLAMIC Law]...

Quote:

"....Jahiliyya is a result of the lack of Sharia law, without which Islam cannot exist;"
"...true Islam is a complete system with no room for any element of Jahiliyya"
"...all aspects of Jahiliyya...are "evil and corrupt" "

The Israeli people are just as sick of war as anyone else would be in that situation, except the Muslims perhaps. They are addicted to war. Israel has had war thrust upon it at every step, a lot of it funded by Iran. They were probably hoping they could put a stop to that.

Remember Abu Rashid? An Aussie Muslim convert here on our forum. He had no personal link to or interest in Israel. But he was in favour of ongoing war with Israel, even if Muslims lose every single one of them. He was motivated by Islam to support ongoing war, the primary result of which is the suffering of Muslims. That is what addiction to war looks like.

Israel is condemned to war all the time, of its own making.

Its mission to build greater Israel requires that it must capture more territory and expel or harass out the majority of its non-Jewish population, including Muslims and Christians.

The last Israeli PM who advocated territory-surrender for peace was assassinated by a Jew.

Both Israel and the Iranians have an Armageddon feel to them.

Israel celebrates as hero's the Israelis who died to the last man defending some castle against the Romans or the Muslims, I forget which.

And the Iranian leadership have a definite flavour of going out in a blaze of glory.

Donny himself gives me the vibe that he would rather go out in a cataclysmic event then drooling ice cream in a nursing home like Joe.

All in all, these forces of destruction are very attracted to each other.

Just like some angry people are always getting into fights.

It's all about the vibes.

Donny is probably going to decide if the war goes full beast mode.

Ironic that the future safety and comfort of billions of entitled chodes rests with the big fella.

They are powerless to stop him ending their entitlement.

And still they think they are so smart making fun of him

I find their naivety breath takingly ignorant  Wink

Israel only ever hands back territory on the orders of its arbiter overlord - the US.

In 1956, when Israel joined a military adventure with Britain and France, its expected prize was the Sinai. When the Eisenhower administration ordered all three to hand back Egyptian territory, they all bent the knee and submitted.

You are confused.

Israel's seizure of the Sinai,
came as a result of the 1967, SIX DAY WAR.

YES, they are.

Proof ?

1,400 years of history.





He [this opinion] is correct [in the YT below].


But few members of the political class, within Western nations, are willing to accept his argument or listen to his sound reasoning.



Why so ?

Because accepting this information [accepting this premise, about a deceitful and malevolent ISLAM] would be,
antithetical to almost all of the political agendas....which of ALL of those 'liberal' and WOKE politicians have embraced.

antithetical = = mutually incompatible.


And i say........God damn them all.   [......they altogether, absolutely,
refuse to embrace what is true.]

ISLAMIC oppression of [and warfare against] 'the infidel'.....is HOLY, its SUPPORT is mandatory [for every follower of ISLAM],
and warfare against 'the infidel', is sanctioned and encouraged by Allah, in the HOLY Koran.....


"Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, (even if they are) of the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued."

Promoting and encouraging violent and unlawful acts is illegal.

We live in a country in which the people supposedly respect the rule of law.

Without widespread respect for the law of the land, we [our Australian society] would descend into being like Syria, Iraq, Egypt, Libya, Somalia, etc, etc - which is exactly what moslems are trying to achieve.

Moslems want to destroy the efficacy of all [non-ISLAMIC] civic institutions in Australia, which help to maintain a peaceful and functioning society.


SUGGESTION;
If you live in Australia and you don't like what ISLAM promotes then you should contact your federal parliamentary representative - EXPLAIN TO HIM/HER WHY YOU DO NOT LIKE ISLAM AND MOSLEMS - and encourage your federal parliamentary representative to try to get ISLAM lawfully declared a proscribed [banned] group in Australia.

Act within the law.


Otherwise we are no better than moslems.
