Let me be the one highlighting the silver lining of the #October7 tragedy! As horrific as it was, October 7, 2023 will be remembered as the day that changed the Middle East forever... perhaps for the good. It was meant to be the end of #Israel, just like the #Holocaust was meant to be the end of the Jewish people in #Europe. Yet, thanks to the mighty Israeli army, this day will be written down in history books as the beginning of the end of #Hamas, #Hezbollah, and #Iran-sponsored terrorist organizations that have been wreaking havoc all over the Middle East for decades. It was the point when the geopolitical status quo that had empowered these terrorist organizations to dominate the Middle East region since the 1980s was broken... ... and the masks covering the ugly faces of radical Islamists and terrorism supporters in the East and the West fell off. It was the day when the state sponsors of terrorism (known as the Axis of Evil) were exposed, and their scheme to destroy the West was unveiled. It is a war on the West... What is happening now in the Middle East, and its loud echoes in American and European societies and universities, is part of the greater scheme of Iran's war on the West, Iran's war on the United States. ...and Israel has been working hard to block the ambitions of the Axis of Evil and protect not only itself but also the United States, Arab countries, and even the people of #Gaza. Hamas terrorists had not only attacked Israelis, but they also tortured and humiliated the people of Gaza for almost two decades and then used them as human shields in a war that they did not choose or want. A war that even Israel did not choose or want. A war that only Hamas and Iran wanted to fuel their greater scheme of destroying the West. Hamas threatened the security of Arab countries, including my own home country, #Egypt, and if it were not for the cooperation and help of Israel in 2013-2015, we would not have been able to get rid of the terrorists that Hamas implanted in #Sinai in the aftermath of the Arab Spring. Hamas and its fellow terrorist organizations are not only targeting the Israelis, but they have also been chasing and terrorizing liberal Muslims and Arabs like myself. That is why I applaud the Israeli army for crushing Hamas and Hezbollah and feel so ashamed of the stance of the majority of Arab states against Israel at this challenging time in the history of our region. When Hamas terrorists launched the October 7 attacks on Israeli civilians last year, I was one of only a handful number of Arabs and Muslims who dared to publicly condemn Hamas's terrorism and show support for Israel's right to defend itself. I paid a heavy price for my position in support of Israel. I was forced to leave my country after radical Islamists and also my own people in Egypt wanted to imprison and kill me because I dared to say the truth... I said, in Arabic, to the Arab audience that "Hamas is a terrorist organization and Israel is doing the right thing by chasing Hamas in Gaza, and that if Arab states are thinking straight, they should be supporting Israel in this war." Thank G-d! One year later, Israel has proved my point right, and heroically and single-headedly, the Israeli army has been combating Hamas and Hezbollah to the point of defeat. Now, Hamas in Gaza and Hezbollah in Lebanon are almost defeated. However, the fight against the Axis of Evil that aims to dominate the Middle East and destroy the United States is still going on. Do not forget that! Well, History may also remember this day as the beginning of the end of the Islamic regime in Iran. Israel’s astonishing progress on the battlefield so far makes us safely hopeful that this could really happen.
