Iran's Plan to Foil Israeli-Arab Normalization and to Keep Expanding the Revolution

The axis of resistance constitute the Republic of Iran, the Syrian regime, and Hezbollah in Lebanon. Hamas and Hezbollah in the guise of "developing" the program are indirectly referring to terrorist attacks on Israel. Explicitly, these two terrorist groups have uncountable number of rockets and missiles that are always aimed at firing on Israel at any moment from the Gaza Strip and Lebanon.
Haniyeh's visit to Beirut angered many Lebanese and Arabs, who are sure that Hamas-Hezbollah tie-up would further destabilize Lebanon and made a military confrontation with Israel possible. It has also become obvious that the attempt by Haniyeh and Nasrallah to use Lebanon as their launching pad to attack Israel as well as to frighten Saudi Arabia and some Arabs and prevent any alliance with Israel against Iran. Iran took control of Lebanon by sheer force with Hezbollah-- its powerful weapon, justifying this heinous act under the pretext that weapons used were aimed at creating a balance of terror with the Israeli enemy and prevent its attacks, while the harsh fact was to use these weapons with the sole aim to terrorize and commit genocide. It is now high time for Biden administration to believe and take it for granted that Hezbollah, Hamas, Al-Qaeda, ISIS, and Iran's regime are no different; they're all the same. As anyone could perceive, the meeting between Hamas and Hezbollah leaders in Lebanon should be taken as a token for fear and disaster for Washington. The meeting that should have provoked ire of the US administration evinces not even a slight reaction and Iran is taking full advantage of the perceived weakness and vulnerability of the Biden administration in containing the mullahs' nefarious schemes in the region.

Well, maybe if the Lebanese army fought Hezbollah from the rear, while Hezbollah is fighting Israel from he front, they maybe Hezbollah can be defeated without so many casualties. But, the Lebanese army unlikely to attack without word from the Lebanese parliament, controlled by Hezbollah.

Iran can try, but Israel will defeat this backward regime! Once Israel, the Arab States that favor normalization with Israel, and others who want to remove this cancerous regime from our midst, help Iran's internal opponents seize power, the Mullahs will be gone and the cancer, known as Iran's Ayatollahs will be gone! Once Iran has a modern government, the funding for Israel's enemies will dry up!

I have for a long time come to the conclusion that the Biden cartel know what they are doing to disrupt any peace in the middle East because Donald Trump got there first. Not only does this unelected cartel want war in the middle East they as been seen from day one are out to ruin what was the United States. If they are not thrown out in November by straight no-cheating elections then the free world as we know it is over.

The Lebanese should certainly know by now that Machel Aoun is and has always been a danger to Lebanon !

Mr Toameh is a brave journalist. Would that there were more like him in the Middle East and the wider world.

The thought that most pressed into my head when I read this article is whether, at long last, the Biden admin has finally reconciled itself to the utility of the Abraham Accords for all of our allies in the region, and what a significant breakthrough they represent. Not least, AA signal that a modus vivendi is possible between the Arabs and Israelis. If Israel continues to allow Muslim control over Islam's holy sites located in Israel, and does not interfere with Muslims visiting the sites, and the Muslims can responsibly administer them, can the stumbling block of the Waqf be finessed by forward-thinking Islamic authorities—I mean the ones who realize that the rest of the world is not living in the 7th century AD? I admit it doesn't look great now, but at some point in the future, who knows maybe not for 100 or 1000 years, Islam will undergo a reformation, and it will be accepted that Mohammed maybe was only giving directions based on that time and place, or given the socio-political conditions that obtained in the mid-7th century, or that when he was talking about the "world" it only meant the Arab world, or the Arabian peninsula, or the world as it was then understood by the Arabs that were hearing the message—like God knew Mohammed would be relating his message to Arabs on the Peninsula, and at that time there was no knowledge of the New World, or other planets, or Australia, etc., and/or when he said conquer he meant it metaphorically, like he wanted his followers to explore the world and conquer the unknown, or to rule only in a non-political sense.

Look, I'm aware of the verses of the Koran and of parts of Sunnah, Hadith and Ijma which are obstacles to the normalization of Islam into a belief system compatible with the modern world. But I believe that change is inevitable and maybe, for example, historiographical or archaeological evidence may be brought to bear to expose a problematic passage to a different interpretation, or to cast doubt on its validity altogether. But one way or the other, Islam will evolve. Non-Muslims cannot drive that change, but we need to be forthright and resilient, demonstrating clearly to the Islamic world that there will never be a time when Islam consolidates rule over the whole planet as one giant dar al-Islam, and that Muslims are no better or worse than adherents of other religions and the rest of the world has the mass to counter weigh against any designs of conquer that Islam entertains. Eventually, official Islam will get the idea.

Perceptive readers will notice that I didn't mention the Palestinians: the less said the better. The countries in the region should not hold their relations hostage to a pawn that has visions of being a king. Perhaps there is a possibility down the road that normalized relations will bring about an accommodation for the Palestinian "refugees" whereby the "refugee camps" are shut down and they are integrated into various Arab countries—any actual Palestinians who actually left Palestine in the 40s could come back to Israel. And perhaps the US and Israel could compensate other "refugees" by granting some percentage of them US residency and monetary compensation. A Palestinian state governed initially by a coalition of Arab states, including SA, Egypt, and Jordan—possibly Turkey once that thug Erdogan kicks the bucket—could be established to cover Gaza, the West Bank, and traditional areas in East Jerusalem. And while a state could not be stood up under the current conditions, if it ever happens that there is agreement among the Arabs that the "push the Jews into the sea" policy must be abandoned, seeing how it has done nothing in the last 100 years other than make Israel stronger than it has ever been, and they took the strategic decision to be real partners in trying to solve the outstanding issues, then a proto-state could be built, gradually turning the reins to government to the democratic process. Israel and the Western powers could flood the new state with money and jobs. The Palestinian textbooks which today are employed solely as opportunities for incitement and to spread jihad could be thrown in the garbage heap, and a new generation of Palestinians could try to focus on joining the modern world and not futile rock-chucking, and maybe in a couple of generations the Palestinians could become normal humans and not jihad robots.

Whenever Iran becomes an annoyance, I hearken back to the rock song written during the 1980 Iranian hostage crisis set to the Beach Boys song Barbara Ann. While it was never a nationwide hit, in areas where people became aware of it, record stores had trouble keeping them on their shelves. The sentiments expressed are still relevant today.

Set alarm bells ringing in Washington? You could put the whole administration inside an enormous bell and hammer the living daylights out of it for a month and none of these castrated minions of Islam will catch on!! Complete and utter disregard for Western values and civilisation is displayed by the fools that are supposed to be looking after the interests of the people they claim to represent. Numerous militant, barbaric Islamic-dominated countries are a 24/7 threat to peace and they will not stop until complete domination is achieved. Strength and determination are what is needed, no more pussy footing around with those who pose a very credible threat to peace. Any "deal" with Iran, will never amount to a real deal, they cannot be trusted as far as you can spit. As far as the Arab countries are concerned, they are Islam led with the same values towards life, they are only bleating because they fear the loss of oil revenue and ultimately the power money brings to the leaders.
