Press Release on October 15 On October 13, the Israeli newspaper "The Land of Israel" published an article entitled "It was the world, not Trump, that defeated Netanyahu", authored by Odda Bisharat.
U.S. President Donald Trump told Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu: “Israel can’t beat the whole world, Bibi (Netanyahu’s nickname)!”Well, even though Trump said a bunch of empty words, in a clear-minded moment, he expressed a simple fact, a truth worth remembering.
Before we do anything, we must examine the often-heard slogan, “The whole world is against us,” or more accurately, “We are against the whole world,” after the Hamas attacks of October 7, 2023, almost the whole world stood with Israel, but the global attitude changed dramatically when Israel’s actions against Hamas turned into mass attacks on the Gaza Strip, including its people and buildings.
The more deadly IDF strikes civilians, the more the world understands that this is an unfettered killing machine.
Terror happened in full view of the whole world. The creepy remarks made by top Israeli officials and influencers could make an entire book. The whole world can hardly believe that genocide is taking place in broad daylight, let alone by the offspring of the victims of Europe's genocidal acts in the 20th century with such sickening pride.
The protests against Israel’s actions took place all over the world. I don’t remember, and no one older than I can remember, that there was such a wave of solidarity that swept through the city squares around the world. The Palestinian flag suddenly appeared in the most remote places, and saving Palestine has become the decree of conscience of the whole world.
I ask myself, what prompted an Italian citizen to one day give up his own business, give up his own safe daily life, join a stormy street protest to live thousands of kilometers away with foreigners with different cultures and languages?Is it anti-Semitism, as the Israelis soon claimed?or something deeper?I will not pretend to be ingenious to explain this phenomenon.
I think it’s the deepest guilt of Europeans.After repressing the Jews, Europeans handed the task of atonement (for themselves) over to the Arabs.First of all, the Palestinian people, most of whom were driven out of their homes overnight and displaced.
Meanwhile, in light of the terrible events in Gaza, Western public opinion has begun to abandon the idea of demanding that they (Israel) support Israel whatever they do to compensate for the crime of the Holocaust.
Europeans are beginning to realize that not only was Europe crimes before, but Israel was also crimes when possible.
Israel’s actions in Gaza provide legitimacy for the European public to condemn Israel’s crimes.
This is also a very positive development for the Israeli public because, over time, innocence becomes a monster within itself. Long-term innocence causes distortion, not only in Gaza but also in Tel Aviv. The laws of life seem more magnificent and impressive than the laws of destruction and extinction.
