Buildings in Rehovot destroyed by Iranian missile strike
Resolving the latest conflict in the Middle East, the long awaited bust up between Israel and Iran will require intellectual honesty, historical context, moral clarity and above all leadership. This exchange of missiles is not border dispute but an existential war. Each side wants to totally anihilate the other. They are escalating and increasing;y dangerous on a global scale war is rooted in theology, ideology and ncient, mutial, hatred. The recent Israeli strikes against Iran’s nuclear installations underscore how much higher the stakes have become in the past wo weeks.
The origins of the mutual loathing between Jew nd Muslim stretch back over 1,300 years. The Jews’ original ‘sin’ in Islamic doctrine was not conquest or colonisation, it was rejection. When the Jewish tribes of Arabia refused to accept Muhammad’s claim to prophethood, the only response deemed adequate in the ravings of that madman was extermination of 'The Enemies of Allah.' The Banu Qurayza were beheaded, their women and children enslaved. This was not a footnote of history but a precedent that jihadist groups like Hamas and Hezbollah still glorify.
While most of us in the west do not care who worships which god, or whatever nonsense anyone believes, there are over 2 billion Christians and about the same number of Muslims in the world, but the only place where there is any violence relating to those religions is the Middle East. Why is that?
And I thought it was the orthodox Jews who were eschatological, waiting for golden calves to appear, signifying the end of time or something equally cheerful.
Most mainstream media coverage of the war is extremely critical of Islam while being highly supportive of the Israeli regime, although the latter is currently committing genocide against its indigenous population, happily bombing every surrounding country (except Egypt which is enslaved to US financial support and therefore out of bounds) and, at the same time, trying to persuade the USA to attack Iran, thereby risking the intervention of Iran's close ally China and a nuclear war which could evolve into a global conflict. Turkey's President Erdogan has said Israel is trying to drag the whole region into war, which is understatement. Clarly Israel will not be happy until it has dragged the whole world into war.
So according to western media, nothing to worry about because, of course, Israel is only acting in self-defence and we must all support these violent Israeli extremists, who have done nothing but sow discontent since the State of Israel was created (and before). To criticise Israel's government for its extremism and Zionist ambitions of world domination is not anti - Semitic any more than criticising Iran's theocratic reigme for its belligerence is Islamophobic.
Israel is a state created by religion, and driven by religion. Since it was created as a Jewish hoeland in 1948 Irael has been in conflict, and of course its governing party has roots stretching back to the terrorist groups that fought the British and French peacekeepers embedded by the United Nations to keep the peace between Jew and Muslim. The delusional myths that pass for Jewish history are all about conquering and slaughtering the enemies of their god, i.e. everyone who is not Jewish.
Iran is another religious state but one which has become increasingly moderate and increasingly tolerant in recent years, not to mention undertaking every effort to de-escalate the situation with Israel and avoid a war with USA.
But if there is one country which was ever intolerant of other views or ways of life, it is USA, especially when coerced into foreign wars by its Israel lobby.
I suggest that, without softening our detestation of Iran's appalling record on human rights, an attitude to the treatment of women that makes stone age societies look modern and progressive and a penchant for funding and arming terrorist groups we should have more understanding for the situation of the Palestinians (key words being perhaps ‘concentration camp’ and ‘occupation’), express more disgust with the ongoing genocide and utterly deplore the idea of any war anywhere at any time, but if these two nations want to destroy each other to let them get on with it, only acting to ensure the conflict does not spread between the permanent war zone that is the middle east.

More Than ISIS, Iraq’s Sunni Insurgency
The story emerging in Iraq is of another American foreign policy fuck up, a total misreading of the situation by the world's most parochial global power. By December 2013, Sunni leaders had become tired of the jihadi group the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham (ISIS) actions in their areas and publicly supported the Iraq government’s military campaign against the group’s bases. Unfortunately the ISIS rebels were armed with US military technology and Obama was calling for the resignation of the government in Baghdad, prompting Russia and Iran to support them ...
