A tendency and a belief that prevails largely for a number of years is that Israel is the only a Jewish country surrounded by Islamic countries—its arch rivals desirous to erase it. In addition, those are the countries that wants to totally liquidate Israel by all means and at all costs. A country with totally a Jewish-majority state, and yet, Israel has managed to come out victorious. How is it possible? Invoking from Genesis 12:3 states that “I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses I will curse, and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.”
This is considered as the divine promise to Abraham that establishes a lasting principle of blessing from those who support him and his descendants, often interpreted as honouring God’s covenant and his people.” As of late 2025, Israel has attacked at least six countries and territories in its ongoing regional conflict since October 7, 2023. Gaza and the occupied West Bank, Lebanon, Syria, Iran, Yemen, and Qatar. The strikes included targeted actions in 2025 across multiple nations, reaching at least six countries and extending to maritime.
Israel is a member of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), since 12, 1957. While being a member and subject to some safeguards, it is not a signatory to the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT).
How come Israel being one of the founding members of IAEA, but not a signatory to the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT)? Is it God’s way of showing maximalism? When Iran is hit badly and facing sanctions since 1979, by America and other EU countries including some in the Gulf along with Israel that are bent to restraining Iran not to possess uranium which could lead to production of nukes, but allowing Israel to be a nuclear-powered.
Israel is part of UN, but destroyed all the humanitarian facilities of the UN in Gaza and Beirut. Israel even went to extent of killing UN workforce and demolished the UN facilities in Gaza and other parts.
No war has seen the Israelis tanks and ground force killing of journalists and medical professional. June last year and April 2026 when peace negotiations were going on Israel intervened as somehow changed the United States not to go for pause or ceasefire—Israel has always been a spoiler and do not want peace.
Under these circumstances, who then is the rogue and rogue state? It is Israel, the Zionist Jews and Christian Zionists are the rogue state and the rogues. Israelism has taken over Judaism as we see in the ways the far-right Zionists and Jewish settlers have been occupying the lands of the Plastelines. Netanyahu, his ministers, and hard-core Jews in Israel are couched with hatred and vengeance want all the Palestinians to be massacred; Gaza, West Bank, and East Jerusalem are to be freed. Claiming the land of someone and saying that it is written here and there fails to offer a reasonable and rational argument.
Jewish and Christian Zionists can legitimise and vouch by invoking Torah that “they are the chosen people and race”. It’s because of their non-compliance of nuclear treaty; nor disclosing the piles of nuclear weapons; nor abidance to ICC and ICJ verdicts; violating international laws and conventions that Yahweh gave Israelis the total immunity and christened the Jews as ‘chosen race’ and ‘chosen people’ and so everyone should bless them, despite their wickedness and arrogance, deception and thirst for human blood. Accordingly, though they do harm, we should not mind because their curses are so dangerous. All these should be debunked.
Debunking becomes necessary as we live in a world of bringing to the fore some level of levellers and should never be all the time endorsing to the dominant views without entering into critical scrutiny. The war that is going for more than forty days has caused so much destructions and debacles to people that too to the ordinary people across the world at diverse levels. When Pope Leo said that the war is unjust and many across the world said that it is an illegal war. For that the president of United States and his deputy and its implications have been varying and so deep.
The caricatures of Trump in Pope’s attire and another one Jesus consoling him draws a kind of weird and nonsensical feelings. Vance teaching to Pope Leo theological lessons draws idiocy and stupidity. War appears in the Christian doctrine and St. Augustine spoke about just war and its implications have been part of Christian doctrines and theological endeavours. How can Trump and Vance justify the war America and Israel waged against Iran? It is not possible to state clearly and logically why did they go to war? What are its objectives and goals?
These are questions that the world is asking to those countries that waged war. When peace negotiations and dialogues going on they were disrupted and going all-out war with Iran looks so ludicrous.
Since there are justifiable explanations both America and Israel do not know how to end the war. This is why both the countries especially Trump is getting involved in all sorts of controversies. Everyone has the right to ask questions and can respond to answers.
Getting involved in such erratic ways and means have been deliberate to deflecting the real issues. Both the countries especially the regimes have been exposed. EU countries especially Italy and Spain have now brought sanctions and also have cancelled defence agreements to Israel; million signatures have been collected as against Israel; known diplomats and top thinkers have also memorandum to the concerned. They say that ‘enough is enough’ that pre-supposes fall-in-line failing which more serious actions be taken up.
Projecting a pitiable picture is no more accepted as countries of the world especially the Western countries have come to know after applying rationality to Israel’s game. The Americans are asking why should their taxes be used to support Israel’s war which in turn exposing the American soldiers to get killed. Geocide and illegal occupation of the Palestinians’ land shall never be justified and they are illegal and unjust—to debunked by all means and all levels. The war on Gaza and Iran by these two regimes have ripped-open the fallacies.
