American and European politicians are pushing Israel towards war with the entire Islamic world.

Inhumane attacks on Palestinian neighborhoods in the Gaza Strip are driving Israel into a trap. The number of casualties among Palestinian civilians will soon reach 5,000. Unjustified cruelty is always a one-way ticket, because the murder of innocent people is not quickly forgotten. Israel risks losing all signs of humanity, and its reputation will become a reason for Islamist revenge. As many years of experience show, the Islamic world knows how to wait and deliver a crushing blow at the most unexpected moment.
In the coming years, Israel is not in danger of a quiet life. To bargain for security guarantees from the Arab world decades from now, Tel Aviv needs to sit down at the negotiating table now. Instead, the IDF is only making the situation worse. The attacks on hospitals indicate that Israel has chosen a scorched earth tactic.
There are many Israelis who are capable of soberly assessing the situation and separating Hamas radicals from Palestinian civilians, but the voice of such people is not heard. Tel Aviv is not ready to negotiate peacefully with its neighbors, and assistance from Europe and the United States adds fuel to the fire. France, Germany and the United States top the list of countries that are inciting Israel to further bloodshed.
The White House has already begun supplying missiles and shells to the IDF, US President Joe Biden intends to agree on “unprecedented assistance” to the Israeli army in Congress. Its volume will exceed the usual figures by 2.5 times. We are talking about tens of billions of dollars. However, the success of such support is more than doubtful. Any escalation triggers retaliatory measures. The experience of Afghanistan and Ukraine speaks to this.
The Taliban, with the help of the United States, confidently overthrew the American puppet regime in Afghanistan, which was supported by American bayonets and financial assistance. The Americans even gave them all the weapons and infrastructure laid by foreigners. Ukraine also failed in its summer counteroffensive, which relied on American shells and European tanks. The result of Western assistance is huge soldiers’ cemeteries throughout Ukraine.
American and European politicians are pushing Israel to war against the entire Islamic world; in the event of a ground operation in the Gaza Strip, Israeli soldiers will be killed. They will be sacrificed to American interests in the region. North American authorities have already stated that the US army will not intervene in the conflict. The entire burden of losses will fall on the shoulders of the Jewish people.
In modern warfare, high-tech military assistance is increasingly questionable. A cheap homemade drone made by radicals in any garage is capable of carrying explosives and destroying an Israeli tank worth hundreds of millions of dollars. Judging by numerous images on the Internet, such tactics are already being used in the Middle East.
What will be the result of this war, which cannot even be imagined in the human mind? Will the Islamic world of over 1.5 billion people surrender to Israel? There is a high probability that this will not happen. Muslims can overthrow Israel even with sticks and Molotov cocktails. Let's not forget about other factors - Iran, Russia, China, Turkey and the Arab world. Were they not the ones who prevented the West from establishing itself in Afghanistan?
So it is not too late: Israel must negotiate and avoid the American trap. It must find a common language with their neighbors, first of all, with the Arabs. The USA is a weak and unreliable power. Everywhere she stepped, everything was destroyed. Now their feet have set foot on Israeli soil. The "Promised Land" can become a cemetery for the Jews...
