The spirits of history rise these days. Traumas of the past throw over -dimensional shadows on the current reality of Israel! On October 7, 2023, the country experienced a massive, unexpected attack by Hamas! For many Israelis who longed for peace and reconciliation with the Palestinians, this attack became a nightmare that reminded of the horrors of history in shocking intensity.

Golda Meir, the first and only female prime minister of Israel, once got to the point: "I prefer to stay alive and be criticized instead of catching compassion". These words hallen in the crisis situation, which is not only due to current geopolitical tensions, but also from painful historical experiences. The memory of the Schoah, in which six million Jews were brutally murdered, repeatedly comes to the surface and determines the actions of the state of Israel to the mark.

a attack with deeper importance

The attack on October 7 is more than just a military event; He is a direct attack on the Jewish existence! Hamas, together with the Hisbollah and Iran, pursues a dark goal: the extinction of the Jewish state. Leaders like the Iranian President AhmadineSchad had already indicated this in 2005 when he described Israel as the "black and dirty microbe". This aggressive rhetoric continues to have fatal consequences.

In the middle of this turbulence, Israel shows a massive military reaction that seems as determined as it seems inevitable. International criticism is ignored because Israel's existence hangs on the silk thread. The removal of the Hezbollah boss could be seen as an escalation, but the Israelis now play “all in” without jeopardizing their own security!

The threat from Iran

and while the world is watching, another dark chapter blooms: the Iranian nuclear program. With an enrichment of uranium of 83.7 percent, Iran is about to develop atomic weapons! Jerusalem will not allow himself to wait until international agreements fail and Iran has the opportunity to put an atomic threat to the world.

German diplomacy, however, plays a passive role. Annalena Baerbock's concerns regarding instability in Lebanon appear ridiculous when you consider that the region has already been crossed by strangers and wars. A country that is used as a springboard for attacks on Israel is in great difficulty! During this time, the German State Räson has to show tangible measures in relation to Israel!

It is a dramatic time. If you want peace, you have to understand that you can only stop when people in Israel are allowed to live in safety! The spiral of the conflict can only be broken through the admission of the cruel reality and action in the present. The world is watching while the fate of an entire people stands on the brink.
