This is not about Iran, but about the annexation of Lebanon and Eretz-Israel Zionism 2.0
Trump, a psychiatric case
This usraeli war of aggression against the Islamic Republic of Iran is the first U.S. war of aggression since 1945 that is not a typical U.S. war. For it is not a war with a neo-imperialist narrative that U.S. citizens would actually buy from their president. Nor is it the typical U.S. war with the pseudo-humanitarian narrative that goes: we bomb Iran into freedom, we launch an invasion of Iran in order to achieve democratic regime change there.
In my opinion, this new war is nothing other than the war of a mentally ill president. But we must not forget that this president is also the commander-in-chief of the armed forces. If we look more closely, however, we notice that Trump is acting in this war as a lone operator. It looks as though he is practicing scoring own goals on a pseudo-political soccer field.
As a malignant narcissist, psychopath and megalomaniac, or all of these in one, Donald Trump announces bomb attacks meant to bring Iran back to the Stone Age. Furthermore, he declares his plan to wipe out Iranian civilization entirely. Trump does not need any reasons for war at all. He dispenses with any narrative whatsoever, and even with the old Netanyahu method according to which a lie becomes truth if one chews it over long enough.
They simply bomb because the regime in Iran is “evil” and does not suit Donald. Manichaean slogans opposing light and darkness, good and evil, are no longer necessary. The United States does not need a propaganda minister. The Iranian regime of the mullahs is to be razed to the ground because it defies the United States. Trump needs no other justification.
The first usraeli attack against the Islamic Republic of Iran hits a girls’ school. 120 children and 36 adults are killed. This attack, completely devoid of narrative, speaks for itself... Trump, the deranged AIPAC puppet, laughs on his deserted soccer field and rehearses new own goals.
But it is only a matter of time, and Trump will be removed. It will be a quiet departure, entirely without narrative and entirely without any psychiatric diagnosis. For Trump’s removal, too, requires no justification. War and peace are laid down groundlessly by Israel and the United States.
Political-science criticism becomes a joke
The media look only at Iran. Iran is the last regional power in the Mashreq that resists the United States. Apart from Iran, there is no world politics anymore. The brutal Zionist war in Lebanon is blanked out and pushed into the background. Israel is reduced to Netanyahu, just as the United States is reduced to Trump. Artificial intelligence turns the “gay couple” of world politics, Trump and Netanyahu, into a political-science joke.
Political and ideological criticism are out of fashion. Political analyses are no longer consumed. What is consumed are reels in which the political pair is laughed at because it sleeps in one bed or sits together on a cart pulled by donkeys. The two stars of narrative-less Zionism-2.0 politics are clicked on and mocked by superficial consumers of social media. The war itself and its victims become a joke. The violence of war, the brutality of the bombings, the attacks against the civilian populations of sovereign Mashreq States, and the Mahdi-ripe killing of innocent children are replaced by the atmosphere of a kindergarten party.
Netanyahu and Trump become figures like Collodi’s and Walt Disney’s Pinocchio, without any maturity and therefore innocent. Morality and guilt are suspended. International law is suspended. It is no longer about neo-imperialism and expanzionism, but about sandbox children snatching the digger out of the other children’s hands. That is all it is about. This is the playful and childish dimension of the most brutal war, which no longer has to devise any narrative in order to continue being waged. We are in the midst of the post-narrative warfare of Zionism 2.0, which no longer even needs the Holocaust in order to present itself as a victim and attack sovereign states in the Mashreq.
Only in Israel does war really mean war, according to the motto: “We don’t talk, we kill”
For Trump there is no war. For Trump, war is a game. In his sandbox war, no one seems to die. Trump does not see the victims. He orders attacks whose consequences he does not understand at all, or entirely screens out from his display.
Those who are truly waging war are the Zionist IOF (Israel Occupation Forces) “warriors” in Lebanon. Lebanon is a region of Eretz Israel; for the Zionists 2.0, this is certain. Perhaps these warriors are also fighting in order to accelerate the arrival of the biblical Messiah. The Zionists of generation 2.0 no longer speak, nor do they invent justifications anymore. They have no need of Herzlian slogans about a land without a people for a people without a land, because the demographic data of the Republic of Lebanon cannot be denied.
The Zionist expansionists bomb and hit. The attack after the ceasefire with the Islamic Republic of Iran killed 2,167 people in Lebanon. Lebanon is not Gaza 2.0, as German television propaganda claims, but the continuation of expanzionism 2.0. Outdated Zionism 1.0 wanted a “Jewish state” in Argentina or in Palestine. Zionism 2.0, by contrast, no longer knows any “classical Jewish State” that one ought to acquire through land purchases. Rather, the issue is a large Zionist state, the kind Golda MoiseYewna Mabowitsch [“Golda Meir”] dreamed of when she smelled the scent of her forefathers in Medina and Mecca... The reversal of guilt can be found in a quote from 1969 at a press conference in London*. That was still the time when Zionism fashioned its justifications. Today this state remains silent. And in its iron silence it kills and hits civilians.
*“When peace comes, we may perhaps in time be able to forgive the Arabs for having killed our sons, but it will be harder for us to forgive them for having forced us to kill their sons.”
Iran does not disintegrate – the enemy determines the unity of a people
The harder an enemy strikes, the closer all groups within a country come together. The more children the enemy slaughters, the more all fronts within the Islamic Republic of Iran close ranks. An Iranian is no longer only the devout follower of the mullahs who hopes for the return of the hidden Imam, but also every Iranian who opposed the mullahs. The Iranian opposition dissolves, because the sovereignty of its own country is being trampled underfoot. The opposition merges with the supporters of the regime when innocent children become martyrs through air strikes by the usraeli air forces.
The dialectic between Shia and Sunni also fades when the blood of innocent children from an Iranian girls’ school reeks to the heavens. This is the law of life; this is the cry for justice that turns into a cry for revenge. War threatens the existence of a culture, a community—not just a nation that, according to Zionist and U.S. pipe dreams, should fragment along ethnic lines instead of listening to the call of many for the Mahdi.
This cry will not be silenced when a war is waged in eschatological terms. The injustice is too great. The oppression is too brutal. And this welds together all ethnic groups of the Islamic Republic of Iran as never before, making them look back to their own history.
The coup against Mohammad Mossadegh was the spark of the Islamic Revolution of 1979
The coup of 1953 led, after 26 years, to the Islamic Revolution of 1979. This anti-imperialist turning point took a quarter of a century to materialize. In these weeks of expanzionism, I ask myself how long it will take after 2026 for a new turning point to transform Iran. It will not take as long as in the previous century, since the 21st century moves at a faster pace.
2026 is not the year of a coup, but the year marking the beginning of a Mashhreq world war. I do not ask what will come after the Iran war of 2026, but where Israeli troops intend to go after Lebanon… And I ask myself when the West will abandon its Israel policy in order to stop the killing of civilians in the Mashreq.
We are also facing the death of war journalism. For soon it will indeed be about eschatology, and let us hope also about soteriology—that is, the salvation of humanity from this abyssal injustice. The implosion of the Zionist state 2.0 is the solution to the so-called Middle East problem. But in reality, the problem is called Zionist colonialism. For me, this type of colonialism is profoundly anti-Jewish, because it drags the ethics of Judaism, as taught by Hillel, completely through the mud.
We give the final word to a Jewish workers’ fighter who tragically died in 1942:
“If a Jewish state should arise in Palestine, its spiritual climate will be: eternal fear of the external enemy (Arabs); and eternal struggle for every bit of ground with the internal enemy (Arabs)... Is this a climate in which freedom, democracy, and progress can grow? Indeed, is it not the climate in which reaction and chauvinism ordinarily flourish?”
