Is Following Events a Matter of Effort or Strategy?!

I have been accustomed to following the series of Jewish holidays to benefit from the evolving methods of Jewish celebration and how to keep up with events. The celebration of Israelis on the anniversary of the destruction of the two temples on the ninth of the Hebrew month of Av every year is a major holiday for the Jews, and this year it fell at the beginning of August 2025. It is a holiday of crying, sadness, and pain, due to the destruction of the first temple by Nebuchadnezzar, the Babylonian, in 586 BC, as well as the destruction of the second temple by the Romans in 70 AD. They also mourn the Roman victory over the Bar Kokhba Jewish revolution. On this holiday, Jews fast for a full day, refraining from food and drink, wearing new clothes, wearing leather shoes, using perfumes, marital relations, bathing, going to parks, and eating meat!

I was aware of these customs, but I did not expect that the narrative of Jewish persecution would expand further, especially on the pages of digital Wikipedia, in the pages of religious Jewish movements, and the Israeli Foreign Ministry, which linked the Al-Aqsa flood operation carried out by Hamas in Gaza on October 7, 2023, to the narrative of the Holocaust. The rabbis not only added the events of October 7 to the Holocaust narrative but also included another event: the withdrawal from the Gaza settlements during Sharon's era in 2005. They added these two new events to the list of the Holocaust perpetrated against Israel, crafting new religious prayers for both occasions, which were added to verses from the Torah and Talmud recited on this eternal occasion. This certainly indicates a coordinated effort involving rabbis and many active followers, blending religion with politics!

Thus, Israeli followers added the abduction of Israeli hostages on October 7, 2023, to the series of extermination events suffered by Jews worldwide, linking it to the persecution of Jews in England in 1290 when Jews were expelled due to their religion, as well as when Jews were expelled from France in 1306, and when Jews in Spain were forced to convert to Christianity in 1492!

Israeli followers drew from the file of the persecution of the (Marrano Jews) who lived in Spain and Portugal, considering all Jews expelled from the two countries in the fifteenth century in 1492, or forced to abandon their Jewish faith and adopt Christianity, as Spanish and Portuguese citizens. Active followers in Israel succeeded in urging the parliaments of these two countries to pass special laws for the descendants of the Marrano Jews, granting them Spanish and Portuguese citizenships so they could enjoy the benefits of citizenship. In furtherance of this significant project, Israeli newspapers requested their citizens with Spanish and Portuguese roots to apply for the citizenships of those countries. Thus, most Israeli newspapers published a story titled (Citizenships for the Descendants of the Marrano Jews) on July 18, 2019, and they are now Spanish and Portuguese citizens!

It is worth noting that there is a large number of Muslims from Andalusia who settled in Spain and Portugal. These Muslims were forced to change their names, adopt Christianity, and assimilate into Spanish society. These Muslims, referred to as (Moriscos), are remnants of the Andalusian civilization! Unfortunately, the Arabs have completely forgotten about them and have not documented their history. Thanks to Spanish researcher, Marthides Garcia Arenal, who published a book about them and their persecution at the beginning of the third millennium titled (The Andalusian Moriscos), in which she documented the means of torture practiced against them and their forced migration toward Morocco permanently. We should not neglect the complete state of amnesia regarding the Moriscos from their Arab descendants!

Anyone following any Israeli occasion finds that there is an organized maestro, with a precise plan operating in all areas, especially in journalism and media, and social media, as well as in cinema and YouTube. Their goal is to charge generations with these occasions and frame them within Israel's main agenda, which is to engage generations in these occasions and make them live the ancient past to consider it the foundation of their renaissance and superiority!

Those who track Israeli activity find a central essence in their core agenda, which is (precise monitoring) and formulating counters to every event. They succeed due to these mechanisms, and here are some excerpts I have gathered from their newspapers in July 2025!

A new Jewish fundraising foundation called "From Destruction to Construction" was established, mixing between the destruction of the two temples and what Israelis need today: “Iftach Ovadia Lewinski established a new fundraising foundation called 'From Destruction to Construction' to link Jewish history with the Zionist movement"!

Among the recent follow-ups during the sad celebrations of the destruction of the two temples in 2025, Amichai Shikli, the Minister of Diaspora Affairs, responded to British journalist Piers Morgan, who said on Saturday, August 1, 2025: "All supporters of Israel deny what Palestinians say about the death toll of Palestinians in Gaza, which has exceeded sixty thousand by July 2025. This group of supporters claims that the numbers are exaggerated, while at the same time, these supporters of Israel believed the Palestinian narrative about the starving of Israeli prisoners!"

Shikli did not delegate a journalist subordinate to him to respond to this journalist; he said himself: "What Piers Morgan said is disgusting due to his bias toward the Palestinians!"

On August 1 of this month, most Israeli newspapers published that after forty-three years, they succeeded in bringing six Palestinian terrorists to justice who killed six Jews in a restaurant in Paris on August 9, 1982, and injured twenty-two others!

Most Arabs excel in temporary reactions only, which are momentary releasing reactions, whose effect ends after a few days; however, most Arabs fail to follow a strategy for addressing events and dealing with them. They do not consider studying events and confronting them a national struggle strategy but instead view it as individual tactical efforts. This reality is one of the main reasons for the Arabs' weakness in the area of monitoring and confrontation, as most Arabs are incapable of preparing meticulous programs and plans for follow-up because those who do not accumulate events and take advantage of present problems cannot formulate counter plans to competitors' schemes. Consequently, they only live in their current moments, and these will remain incapable of formulating future strategies!

Always remember that following events is like a chess game; the player who cannot know his opponent's plan will never win the game!
