Ali Siadatan
By examining the history of Israel, as elaborated in the Hebrew Bible, it becomes possible to conceive that many of the global Ant Zionist ideologies such as the Nazis, the Islamists & the Marxists are in fact seeking to dismiss revise and replace this sacred history and destiny, which is the heritage of the Jewish people. To this end they seek to destroy Israel.
If this theory is true then in the pattern of great reversals that marks the history of Israel, Their plans will be reversed on them, they will be destroyed and Israel will live on.
The the potential fall of the Islamic republic of Iran , the major defeat of the Democratic Party, The rise of the conservatives in Canada, may all be in fact consequence of the attack against Israel.
