Hypocrisy thy name is

                                        

The International Criminal Court, in the Hague [“ICC”] is considering an arrest warrant against Prime Minister Benjamine Netanyahu and other Israeli officials for war crimes in Gaza. Indeed, the United States is studying the question of whether Israel violated international law in Gaza.

Let us review the situation from a number of considerations.

Nobody suggested – as of yet – that Hamas personnel will be arrested. And what about those who supported Hamas? What about those who neglected their obligations and “shut their eyes” while Hamas was using funds - to be supervised by UN and others - and committing major breaches of international law for years? Let me explain.

The suffering of innocent people in Gaza does not give any advantages to Israel. [It does to Hamas – inter alia as shields]. But how do we explain the West sending hundreds of millions of Dollars to Gaza for the restructuring of schools and hospitals and Hamas using these funds for the construction of tunnels under Israel? There was no word of alarm or protest from the US, UK, or EEC. ICC? Really? When evidence was shared of missiles concealed in hospitals and schools, in mosques and private houses, why was no one raising his voice? No consideration of arrest warrants by the ICC against any of Hamas’s leaders? Not even after 7th October, in the “festival” of murder, rape, beheading, torturing, cooking babies in microwaves kidnapping? Against President Ebrahim Raisi of Iran or its supreme leader, Ali Khamenei, the leaders of world terrorism, who conduct the “Terror Orchestra” and dictate all terror activities through Iraq, Afghanistan, Yemen, Lebanon and Gaza? Does anybody think they did not violate international law?

The stunning war crimes by Gazans, all by Gazans, and initiated by Yahya Sinwar, who prohibit the Red Cross from even finding out about the kidnapped, is not addressed by ICC. This does not “invite” the ICC to issue arrest warrants. Years of rocketing civilians within Israel did not justify raising the voice of the ICC. Nothing. Not a word. All this was not punished. Israel retaliated and fought to get its captives back; they are under arrest warrants. Israel, challenged by Giststapo-style terror groups, suddenly is the accused? Why? Because Qatar promotes financially, demonstrations of people who know zero about what they are demonstrating? [Review some Youtube].

Let me suggest one more person to be investigated for his—what I consider—criminal negligence: Mr. António Guterres, the Secretary General of the United Nations.

It is true. Hospitals are protected by international law. When did the Secretary-General condemn Hamas for using Hospitals to conceal rackets? The United Nations, many Western organizations, and governments have tried to support Gaza for many years. They have injected staggering amounts of money and, yes, allowed Qatar to bring in cash, which, in normal countries, would never be legal but constitute a classic case of money laundering. And the UN? Nothing. Those funds were supposed to have supported the building of hospitals, schools, and kindergartens to benefit the population of Gaza. UNWRA has a very central base in Gaza. Most of these funds provided to Gaza and should have been supervised by the UN were dedicated to the annihilation of Israel and used to bomb civilians in Israel for years or used for the 7th October Massacre. Mr. Guterres is exempt from responsibility? As the Secretary General of the United Nations, Mr. Guterres was and is responsible for supervising how the governing entity in Gaza spent the money it received. He did not. He and his associates knew very well what was done with the money. But they poured in more. The misery of the people of Gaza and Hamas’ ability to conduct the atrocities on 7th October rests on his shoulders. Will ICC consider an arrest warrant against him? I do not think so.

The Secretary-General knows very well that UNWRA is cooperating with Hamas and has many times turned a blind eye to the confiscation of assets from UNWRA for its own purposes; for using funds to dig more tunnels than the underground map of London; to the concealing of ammunition in hospitals and schools administrated and financed by UNWRA. The Secretary-General knows Hamas denies any movements of Gazans to safety. Mr. Gutteres knows what the consequences of Hamas's victory were following the elections in Gaza in 2006. All was “well” until Hamas became politically stronger. PLO’s personnel in Gaza were pushed off buildings to their deaths, not before family members were brought to witness these executions.

Yes, UNRWA – The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestinian Refugees in The Near East [The only agency of its kind – no other groups of refugees are supported by a parallel organisation] with an annual budget of one Billion dollars, whose personal participated in the 7th Octobers horrendous crimes, – announced on 17th October, that Hamas has stolen humanitarian aids – inclusive of fuel and medicine. We did not hear anything from the Secretary-General. So, who is causing the suffering of the Gazans? Israel or Hamas? Who contributed to such suffering and enabled it to develop? Israel or the UN? History will judge the integrity of The Secretary-General. History does not lie. It will judge Mr. Guterres to condemnation. Mr.Guterres “shut his eyes” to the misuse of funds, knowing very well what might be the results. His conduct qualifies for “criminal negligence”, enabling war crimes. Was he advised that the ICC was considering sending him an arrest warrant? Was he invited to explain himself in any formal entity?

Hypocrisy is the name of the game.

Let us look back. Did ICC issue arrest warrants against any of the American presidents who [in their capacity as such also serve as the commanders in chief of all US forces] – for the killing of children in Iraq, Afghanistan - the bombing of the Haska Menya wedding party where at least 63 people were killed in 6th of June, 2006, come to mind – or the “hosting” of terrorists in Guantánamo Bay in Cuba where - for one reason or another, the US believes, the international law does not apply, and so, inmates are subject to whatever any investigator deems fit?

ICC Should have been the symbol of Thomas Hobbes’s Leviathan. To preserve the law and punish those who violate the rights of others. ICC is not the Liviatan. It is a shark.

Enforcing International law? In a normal country, there are policemen. If someone breaches the law, the damaged party usually cannot take the law into his own hands and retaliate. He approaches the police, whose duty is to protect the citizenry.

Where there is no law or no party that can enforce the law against the "criminal", the harmed party cannot be required to keep the law, leaving the criminal the advantage of doing whatever it wishes. This simply does not work. That is why the West had to bomb Iraq and Afghanistan, or bombing Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August of 1945, or devastating Hanoi during the Vietnam War. Or even invading Panama to arrest its president Manuel Noriega in “Operation Just Cause” in January 1990. Israel cannot be different. There are no international policemen to protect Israel against Hamas. Nobody can punish those who represent ISIS ideology. No bringing to justice those who breached their obligations as trustees.

It is very simple, International law requires reciprocity. No reciprocity, no law. A rapist cannot scream for help. The terrorists cannot conceal weapons inside hospitals, thinking that International law will protect them.

One thing all of us should remember. Today, it is the Jewish state. Tomorrow, the rest of Western civilization. This was the philosophy of ISIS. This is the philosophy of Hezbollah; this is the philosophy of Iran. Cells of Hamas and ISIS are everywhere in the UK and Europe. Presently, they are targeting the Jews [easy when you have Jeremy Corbyn on your side]. The tragedy of Western civilization is that it fails to understand that Christianity is next. The alarm bells are ringing. Nobody listens. In other words, Israel is not fighting only for Israel. It is fighting for Western Civilization and, yes, for those Muslims who are amazingly kind and good, cultured and most civilized, who do not tolerate the war crimes of Hamas but risk death if they speak out.

If the West does not wake up, if it does not find out who is behind the anti-Jewish and anti-Israeli demonstrations and who is developing extremism in the universities, it will not be Israel who will lose. It will be Western Civilisation. “The “Sharia Patrol” in the United Kindom will confirm this assumption. The fact that 40% of British Muslims would like to see Sharia law enforced in the UK substantiate it. The number of schoolboys in Germany who wish to convert to Islam so they can be “members of the gangs” reflects the shift. The fact that France will be challenged by being the first Western European country with a Muslim majority or the fact that the most common name given to children in Belgium is Muhammad mirrors the message. The Muslims – are here [in Europe] to take over.

And Europe plays appeasement. Navil Chaimbarline – welcome back.

“Frailty thy name is” – America

The world is paying inter alia for its hypocrisy. I always found it odd – to put it mildly – when the Russians are invited to participate in any “memorial” service for the victims of the Second World War. Yes, indeed, Russia suffered horrendously not only because of Adolf Hitler. Joseph Stalin and his cronies had a lot to do with it. Stalin literally annihilated the Red Army’s leadership before the war. It was Joseph Stalin’s agreement with The Third Reich [known as the ״Molotov Ribbentrop Agreement״] signed on 19th August 1939 that enabled Hitler to commence the attack on Poland, which brought about the war. It was the Red Army that attacked Poland from the East, while the Wehrmacht attacked from the West. How “comfortable” it is for the West to forget that the USSR commenced the war as Nazi Germany’s ally and held half of Poland, and ended the war as “a party” of the Allies controlling all of Poland. And, no, USSR did not change sides “voluntarily”. It was Adolf Hitler who “encouraged” the Russian to change sides when his army commenced “Unternehmen Barbarossa” on the 22nd June 1941. 

This rewriting of History, not by Pravda or Isvestia, but by the West, who gave legitimacy to Russia’s “contribution” to the victory over the Axis led by the Nasiz, is a demonstration that Right cannot fight Might. The Soviet Union – usually - manipulated the West to fight against cronies [Korea, Vietnam and the Vietcong, Cuba, etc.].

 

But following the end of the Second World War, all experts assumed that Europe would not see war. Almost as if reminiscent of “War to End all Wars” [as H. G. Wells’s book was titled] written after the First World War. Vladimir Putin led the KGB office in Berlin during the Cold War. The West was blind as to the personality, integrity and intentions of the Russian President. Such was the blindness that the New Iran Agreement “nominated” Russia as the trustee to keep and guard some of Iran’s uranium. This, after Russia offered Iran – in January, an alternate venue for energy, this with the knowledge of the USA.

 

The whole West is against Russia. All Western media is reporting about the invasion of Ukraine and condemning Russia. Sanctions are imposed, and President Biden assumes that this will stop Russia. It will not. Well, why did the West not stop Russia when its army invaded Crimea? I just love listening to Russia’s Foreign Minister, Sergey Lavrov, condemning the lack of democracy in Ukraine. The fact that Russia is the major supporter of Assad, or an ally of Iran, seems to be irrelevant. How similar his explanations are to those of Joseph Goebbels when “explaining” the problems of Germans in “Sudetland”. 

On 4th December 2021, the Washington Post published a news item, according to which, Russia is planning to attack Ukraine by the beginning of the year. So, because Ukraine did not made it yet to Nato [may I assume that the delay was initiated by someone in the West, so Nato will not be obligated to save Ukraine from what all intelligence agencies knew was coming], Putin  - who knows the mentality of the West much better than the West knows the mentality of Putin – was “safe”. All he needs is time. He knows that as long as the West does not initiate military actions against Russia, he has nothing to worry about. No economic sanctions will help. While Biden was announcing the almost meaningless [yes, meaningless] sanctions against Russia, the president of Pakistan, Arif Alvi paid a formal visit to Moscow. China will not condemn Moscow’s initiative. Many countries will continue normal relationships with Russia. Putin knows that in the near future, the West will “come down”. Frictions will deepen for one reason [energy] or another [wheat]. Like a person who was told he has cancer. He is shocked at the beginning but then goes on with normal life. So, will the West behave. 

And the Western Media is at fault as well. Why did all of them broadcast a statement and Q&R with Alexander Lukashenko, the president of Belarus? Did he have to add anything? Someone whose intellectual abilities reach the level of wood? Does he have any influence? Of course not. The Western media offers him recognition. That is all he needs. The fact remains that all the West’s efforts, the ‘blitz’ of condemnations, the sanctions, and the help that was offered to Ukraine did not have the expected results. Kyiv is devastated. A Pariah is winning against a hopeless West. And not for the first time. It is true that secret agencies annihilate enemies. USSR was known to kill critics of its leaders, even overseas. One of the more infamous “liquidations Russian style” outside the USSR was the killing of Leon Trotsky, who exiled himself from Russia to Coyaocan - Mexico. He was murdered there by NKVD’s agents on 20th August 1940. He was shot. 

But the murder of Alexander Litvinenko in November 2006 was not “just another liquidation” by Putin [He did use the “regular methods” many a time within Russia - the name of the Journalist Anna Politkovskaya murdered in 2006 comes to mind]. He created a precedent after World War 2.

Mr. Litvinenko was in the centre of London [a hotel in Grosvenor Square – adjacent to the US Embassy in London].  Putin’s agent  actually used a radioactive weapon to kill someone who became an English citizen. Many more could have been killed in case of an accident. Is any party in Russia facing the consequences of what might have caused a massive calamity in The Court of St. James? Did Her majesty’s government take any actions? No. A simple “no”. 

Yes, I know. Nazi Germany won at the outset of World War 2 and lost [once decided to invade Russia]. It was not economic sanctions and condemnations that brought victory. It was military might. Putin is no different. And for President Biden to make this stunning statement that the West will not fight the Russians in Ukraine, not even leaving Putin in doubt, is clumsiness at its highest degree. King Solomon wrote in Proverbs, “And good news makes the bones fat”. Jewish interpretation of this statement reads, “Nothing is marrier than clarifying of doubts”. Why did Biden clear the doubts? Why did he not – at least – have the Russians fear the unknown? And President Biden was not alone. Mr. James Heappey, the Minister of Armed Forces in Her Majesty’s Government made the same confirmation in the House of Common. Even a ”no-fly zone” was - according to him - an impossibility to enforce above Ukraine. The West is crippled. It will not even mislead Moscow as to its abilities. The fact that Russia made it to Kyiv, the fact that Putin will only fall by insiders [and he will] – not by the West - like Nikita Khrushchev on 14th October 1964 - is another demonstration of hopelessness.

 

America’s “successes” in foreign policy should always be taken into consideration. The happenings in Ukraine should serve as a major caveat to Israel, when the West signs the new agreement with Iran. It justifies the vote of no confidence in the USA by so many countries in the Arab world in general and the Middle East in particular. History testifies. Many agreements and unqualified statements made or signed by the USA were followed by embarrassing failures. North Korea is still around. Following the Nobel Peace Prize to Henry Kissinger and Le Duc Tho “for jointly having negotiated a cease-fire in Vietnam in 1973”, America literally fled through the roof of the American Embassy in Saigon; President Jimmy Carter’s assurances that “The Shah is a rock of stability, months before the latter fled Taharah; or president Biden’s assurances that Taliban will not take over Kabul. The rest is history. 

Let us think. Since 7th October 2023, a baby, a toddler, women, elderly are cutt off from the world. The US knows Hamas and Islamic Jihad committed war crimes is stunning levels. Yes, raping a woman and cutting her breast while she is still alive is a war crime. Behading heads and putting babies in ovens to be cooked are all war crimes.

The stunning decision of the Security Council for an immediate ceasefire is not only evil as it does not condition the cease-fire to the release of the kidnapped], it encourages Hamas to continue holding the hostages [well, they do need them for rape and other “benefits”], but it proves once again the accuracy to an answer to a previous Secretary of State’s question after signing the first agreement with Iran. “What do they think, we are Idiots”? The answer is, that I invite you to read your own history and make your own conclusions.

What does the West think will be the result of a cease-fire now. There were many cease-fires between Israel and Gaza. These ceasefires were always – but always -  breached by terrorists from Gaza who rocketed many and only areas concentrated with civilians. Is there anybody with a head on his shoulders who thinks that a cease-fire without annihilating Hamas will end differently? 

When Israel suffered from Hamas shelling of its south, The US and the UN did nothing. If we do not bring down Hamas, if we do not clean Gaza of these Gistapo-like people, what does the president of the US think will happen in the future if there is a cease-fire? Hamas will not attack Israel again? Islamic terror will cease in the US and Europe?

The West does not know how to handle terror groups, it does not know how to handle Iran, it does not know how to handle Russia, and it does not know how to handle China.

Iran fulls them all. Germany did not invade Austria “out of the bleu”.  There were “preperations”.  The Nazis in Austria before the “Anchluß Östrerreich” led by Arthur Seyss-Inquart.  Before the invasion of Czechoslovakia in March 1939, had emissaries escalate the tensions [Sudetenland]. Indeed in the last meeting of Emil Hacha, the Check President, with the leaders of Sudetenland before the invasion, the poor president put an empty white paper in front of the “representatives” and at the bottom of the page, his signature. Inviting them to write whatever they wanted. The “representatives” walked out of the room for "consultations", never to return].  

During the Cold War, Russia had emissaries do the “dirty work” fighting the West. The American Army lost blood in Korea, Vietnam, Cuba, etc. The Russians allowed North Korea and China to fight its battles in Korea, North Vietnam  and the Vietcong in Vietnam, Castro and his cronies in Cuba, and all terror organisations at the time, from the Japanese Red Army, the Italian Red Brigade, and  - of course -  all Arab terror organisation. USSR or Russia failed when they commenced direct fighting [Afganistan and Ukraine]. 

Iran adopts the same policy. The Houthis in Yemen, Shiites in Iraq, Hamas in Gaza, and Hezbollah in Lebanon. Fighting the proxy will not solve the problem. Iran is the target. If the Mullahs in Iran are brought down, there will be no support for terror organisations in the Middle East and no cells in Europe and the USA. 

The US always proved itself “unfortunate” in foreign policy. The difference is one. When the US makes such a mistake, it will suffer but survive. Israel might fall if we listen to the USA.

The short-sightedness of the West will not help. As broadcasted by BBC, many in London wish the city and the UK to be ruled by Sharia. Hamas, ISIS and other terror organisations are well-placed in Europe It is a tragedy that the world has such a short memory and zero imagination of how to solve the Gaza problem. Or the Iran ptoblem.

Every challenge to Israel will resurrect the spirit of Hamas. Even if Hamas is "gone", if this is followed immediately by an initiative to form Palestinian State, every Arab will understand that killing, raping and kidnapping is worth it. All will say that Hamas “gifted us” with a  Palestinian State . Hamas's way is the right way. One step forward to Islamic Europe.

״רבותי ההיסטוריה חוזרת״

 

״רבותי ההיסטוריה חוזרת״

בשעה שניהלו ראש ממשלת בריטניה נוויל צ'מברלין וראש ממשלת צרפת אדואר דאלאדיה את המשא ומתן לצורך מניעת המלחמה, שהסתיים בהסכם הטראגי הידוע בעגה ההיסטורית ״הסכם מינכן״ שנחתם ב 30 בספטמבר 1938 ידע אדולף היטלר כי ההסכם הזה אינו כי אם הולכת שלל. 

מי שפעל למען סיפוח אוסטריה לרייך השלישי, במרץ 1938 – בניגוד מפורש להסכמי ורסאי וסן ז׳רמן – היו שליחי הרייך השלישי, המפלגה הנאצית באוסטריה בהנהגתו של זייס אינקווארט. האלימות שהייתה המבוא לאיינשלוס נוהלה על ידי אוסטרים , לא גרמנים שרק דרבנו מאחור. כל התפתחות ״המעשייה״ של חבל הסודאטים, כיבושה של צ'כוסלובקיה וכמובן הפלישה לפולין היו תכנית מפורטת. היה זה וינסטון צ'רצ'יל של אחר שנות המלחמה קבע שכל מי שביקש לדעת את התפתחות ההיסטוריה מראש, כל שהיה עליו לעשות היה לקרוא את ספרו של אדולף היטלר ״מלחמתי״. 

האומה הבריטית למדה בדרך הכואבת כי המונח ״peace in our time״ שהשתמש בו ניוול צ'מברליין בנופפו בהסכם השלום לאחר נחיתתו בלונדון ממשאו למינכן, הבין שמדובר היה בהונאת ענק תחת שרביטו של איש הביניים בניטו מוסוליני, הדוצ'ה של איטליה. 

לא לחינם לא ימצאו רחובות על שם או אנדרטאות לזכרו של נוויל צ'מברליין באנגליה. אדולף היטלר השתמש באחרים לצורך גיבוש האימפריה שלו טרם שנלחם ישירות במזרח ובמערב. 

מי שלמד היטב את השיטה הגרמנית היו הרוסים. בכל שנות המלחמה הקרה כפי שהגדיר את התקופה ג׳ורג׳ אורוול במאמר שהתפרסם ב 1945. החל משנת 1945 ועד 1991 כמעט בכל מקום בו התעמתה ארצות הברית עם ברית המועצות נשפך דם אמריקאי רב בעוד ברית המועצות משתמשת בשליחים. כך היה המצב ביוון, כך מלחמת קוריאה בא עשו צפון קוריאה וסין את מלאכתם של הרוסים כשפלשו לדרום ב 1950, פלישה שהתפתחה למלחמה שנמשכה שלוש שנים. כך היה בווייטנאם, כאשר צפון ווייטנאם והוייטקונג עשו מלאכתם של הרוסים, משבר הטילים בקובה ב 1962, התפתחותם של מפלגות קומוניסטיות שאיימו על המשטר הדמוקרטי במדינות מערב אירופה כמו איטליה וצרפת, ארגוני טרור שהתאמנו במחנות הפליטים של אש״ף בלבנון ומומנו על ידי ברית המועצות - כך הצבא האדום היפני, הבריגדות האדומות באיטליה, תנועת הטרור הבסקית בספרד, הIRA באירלנד ועוד. 

למעט בשני מקרים בהם הייתה רוסיה פעילה קרוב לבית וכשלה – אפגניסטאן ב1979, והמלחמה המשתוללת באוקראינה - רוסיה הייתה פעילה צבאית בהצלחה גם ״קרוב לבית״. גרמניה המזרחית 1953, הפלישה להונגריה 1956, והפלישה לצ׳כוסלובקיה בשנת 1968. 

מפלתה הפוליטית של רוסיה בפולין היא שהובילה בסופו של דבר לנפילת חומת ברלין (המהפכה שהובילה תנועת סולידריות בראשות לך ולאנסה, שלימים הפך לנשיא פולין).

העולם המערבי ככלל, העולם הערבי בצנעה, וישראל בראש גלי נלחמות בארגוני טרור המהווים שליחים. כל אותם ארגוני טרור, החמאס, החיזבאללה, הג׳יהאד האיסלמי והחוטים מיישמים ועושה דבריה של איראן העושה את דת האיסלאם קרדום לחפור בו. קשה מאוד לאנשים בקושי יודעים לקרוא ולכתוב להתמודד עם השקפת עולם דתית כפי שבא לידי ביטוי על ידי המולות באיראן. אבל לעולם המערבי אין סיכוי לנצח אם המלחמה תהא נגד עושי הדבר מטעם ולא נגד השולח. אמנם כן, ישראל מצליחה לעיתים לפגוע בראש עקרב זה או אחר שמקורו באיראן. אבל בכך לא סגי. היה זה שר החוץ של ארצות הברית, ג׳ון קרי, שנשאל לאחר החתימה על ההסכם הראשון שנחתם - תחת חסותו המפוקפקת - עם איראן לעניין אי הפצתו של הנשק הגרעיני לשאלתו של עיתונאי שהכעיסה את מזכיר המדינה. שכך ענה ״we are not idiots״ והאמת היא, you are. 

בדיוק כפי שנהגה גרמניה ערב מלחמת העולם השנייה, בדיוק כפי שפעלה ברית המועצות במהלך המלחמה הקרה – גם באירופה המערבית – האירנים שותלים תאים בערים החשובות באירופה [עשרות בלונדון, מאות בכל רחבי אנגליה, אוסטריה, שוודיה. צרפת בכלל נמצאת על צומת הדרכים המאיימת ביותר בהיסטוריה החדשה שלה. כפי קביעתו של ההיסטוריון הבריטי Paul Johnson במאמר שפרסם כבר לפני שנים בביטאון Spectator האנגלי – בשנת 2043, תהא צרפת המדינה הראשונה במערב אירופה עם רוב מוסלמי. היום, השם הנפוץ ביותר שמוענק לילדים בבלגיה הינו מוחמד]

.

רוב פעולות הטרור בשנים האחרונות באנגליה, צרפת, אוסטריה, ספרד, דנמרק, גרמניה הודו, אינדונזיה, פיליפינים, סרי לנקה, מקורו ״שיעי״. אצבע ארוכה של איראן. אי אפשר להילחם במקק או שניים ולפתור כך את הבעיה של המקקים. את מלחמת העולם הזו המתרגשת עלינו להילחם מול האויב היחידי שהבסתו הינה חניקת כל פעולות הטרור. כשנפלה ברית המועצות, נדמו פעולות הטרור של הבריגדות האדומות באיטליה [לא לפני שחטפו ורצחו ראש ממשלה לשעבר – אלדו מורו – בשנת 1978], של הבסקים ועוד.

על פי השבועון הכלכלי Forbs,   המורדים החות׳ים [אנצאר אללה] מחזיקים בהון אדיר של 2 מליארד דולר. החיזבאללה ב1.2 מיליארד דולר, בנוסף לאחזקות של ״חברת הבת״ שלו כתאאב חיזבאללה – הפועלת בעירק וסוריה. הטליבאן החזיק בהון של 2.5 מיליארד דולר, חמס מחזיק בהון של 500 מיליון דולר [מעבר להון האישי של מנהיגיו].

מספר המחבלים הקשורים לארגונים אלה עולה – בסך הכל – על מאה אלף, מבלי להתייחס לחברים בתאים באירופה ובארצות הברית.

אירן נוהגת כגרמניה, אירן נוהגת כברית המועצות, והמערב נוהג כמערב. ללא שינוי. המאבק המזויין בים האדום, בעזה, פעולות הטרור הן המבוא. אירן מבקשת פשוט להקים את האימפריה המוסלמית מחדש, בדיוק כפי שרצתה גרמניה הנאצית, בדיוק כפי שאיפתו דהיום של ולדימיר פוטין. המתחרה הגדול של אירן שלעת הזאת משתף איתה פעולה עד שיידרשו להכריע מי באמת מוביל את האומה האסלאמית, הינו רג׳פ טאיפ ארדואן, המבקש להחזיר את הדרה של האימפריה העותומנית, תחת הנהגתו כסולטן.

המערב יכול להכריע את אירן או להיכנע לה. בדרכו העכשווית, בניסיונותיו להציל את חמס [בניגוד לשאיפת הרבה מנהיגים ערביים] מוכיח המערב את שהוכיח בעבר. הוא אינו יכול להם לדיקטטורים. צ׳רצ׳ל ורוזוולט [ואחריו טרומן] לא יכלו לסטאלין [חלוקת אירופה לאחר מלחמת העולם השנייה] , הארי טרומן נכשל במאבקו בקים איל סונג [קוריאה] ג׳ונסון וניכסון לא יכולים היו להו צ׳י מין [וייטנאם],ארצות הברית על שלל מנהיגיה לא יכלו לפידל קאסטרו, ועוד.

במקום לאיים על איראן חותמים איתה על הסכמים, בדיוק כפי שחתמו עם היטלר. אז כשטוען שר החוץ של ארצות הברית ״אנחנו לא מטומטמים״ הוא מעיד שהוא מטומטם, אבל ממש מטומטם.

אנחנו במבוא למלחמת עולם שלישית. הבעיה היא שהדמוקרטיות אינן מבינות את זה.
