If Trump wins, Netanyahu will tell him what Sharon told Bush: Principles won.
Who would have thought, in his worst nightmares, or in his most glorious manifestations, that the “war” on Gaza would end a full year of its life, or that it would touch the date of the American elections? And here it has actually done so, and here it is necessary to point out almost one person, to whom credit is due, if there is any credit for that, and he is the veteran Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
He is a veteran in two respects: on the one hand, he has been prime minister since 1996, despite being accused of inciting the assassination of his political rival in the Labor Party, Yitzhak Rabin. On the other hand, in his “veteranship,” he is officially accused of committing crimes of breach of trust, bribery, and corruption before the Al-Aqsa Intifada. Thousands of Israelis demonstrated for 39 weeks, demanding his dismissal, arrest, or trial, until the International Criminal Court came to pursue him on charges of committing a war crime against the Palestinian people in Gaza, along with his Defense Minister Yoav Galant. Today, a case is being raised against him for leaking serious information, the publication of which is still prohibited by the judiciary, but publication was permitted about the arrest of four members of his presidential office.
This criminal, or more precisely, this man accused of criminality, is responsible for prolonging the war for this long and bringing it to the US elections. If his friend and ally Donald Trump wins, this will mean a new momentum in his criminal career, which will turn into a struggle, patriotism and morality, despite the blood of tens of thousands of children and innocents staining his forehead and hands.
But there is some injustice in attributing all these shortcomings "credit" to one criminal, even if he is a prime minister, because there are certainly those who helped him in that, first of all the Democratic US President Joe Biden, the Zionist, as he likes to boast, and with him Congress, the oasis of democracy in the world, which has turned into an arena for shouting, applause, embracing and kissing the beard of this criminal. They applauded him 56 times in about 50 minutes, meaning that they applauded him on and off occasion, every sentence or two once.
There are those among us Arabs who helped him, either silently or in collusion, because it is unreasonable for this nation to stand helpless in bringing bread, just bread, to the starving displaced, while they are being bombed while they are in international shelters, or medicine, any medicine, to the sick and wounded who are being tortured, while they are being bombed while they are in hospitals. It is also unreasonable for the demonstrations of the world's "infidels" to take place in the cities, streets, squares and universities that are the most ancient in history, while the brothers, family, quarters, support and clan in the capitals of the Arabs and Muslims do not come out and prove the saying of the noble Arab prophet that they are nothing more than "scum on a flood". As for the "kidnapped" prisoners, for whom the war was waged to return them, they are still being held, and the memory of the "brave hero" Netanyahu and his chosen people has almost folded them into the category of neglect and oblivion.
In 2004, Sharon won the Israeli prime ministership and Bush Jr. won the American presidency, so the former said to the latter: Principles have triumphed.
