This May 14 marks the 76th anniversary of the proclamation of the State of Israel.
Just one day after this historic event, Egyptian, Iraqi, Lebanese, Syrian, and Jordanian military forces, supported by volunteers from Libya, Saudi Arabia, and Yemen, began the invasion of the nascent state, which immediately received recognition from the U.S. and the then Union of Soviet Socialist Republics.
Since May 14, 1948, Israel has only enjoyed sporadic moments of peace. This small country geographically but enormous in terms of its historical, cultural, and scientific legacy—far surpassing that of all Muslim countries—has lived these 76 years under constant harassment from its enemies. However, despite their superiority in terms of population, the Israelis dealt them a decisive defeat in that first battle, in which Jewish self-defense paramilitary militias played an essential role. Since then, every time the Muslims have dared to confront Israel, they have suffered crushing defeats, one of the most significant being the so-called “Six-Day War” in 1967.
I am against all injustice and violence and deeply regret the pain of innocent people currently suffering the consequences of the terrorist attack perpetrated last October 7 by the terrorist organization Hamas, whose leaders, true to their cowardice, are safely in Iran, Lebanon, or Syria.
Israel knows perfectly well that what is at stake is its existence as a state. The military operation against Hamas has provided ample information on how this organization has used the Palestinian people as shields, exposing them to danger by digging tunnels beneath hospitals and even UN organizations.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s decision to continue the offensive until completely eliminating Hamas terrorists has caused the inevitable consequences of any war, and the opportunity has been seized by leftist forces and radical Muslims to stage public protests in various countries, mainly in the U.S., where university students manipulated by leaders of these forces have displayed their violence and anti-Semitism.
Muslim radicalism and the international left
It is very sad to see how this country allows Muslims to enter, gives them shelter, offers them food aid, employment, health coverage, and even free education, and the response from many of them is open and frontal opposition to the values that have made this nation great, precisely the ones that allow them to live here with respect and rights, something they lacked in their own countries.
Many intellectuals and political leaders have been warning for more than four decades about Muslim penetration in the Western world. Despite this, the dangerous trend of downplaying this phenomenon continues to spread, undermining the foundations of our values. This permissiveness is coupled with the traitorous and anti-nationalist left’s work, very much linked in goals to Muslim radicals.
Recently, I read a comment published by MEP Herman Tertsch on the social network X, where he highlights recent statements by Islamic scholar Anjem Chaudary, who openly stated to CBN News that “it is most likely that democracy will be replaced by Islamic law in the UK, Belgium, and France within 15 to 20 years.” According to this Muslim cleric, whom the MEP describes as a moderate person, Muslims are obliged by Allah to take power away from infidels—that is, us Westerners—abolish man-made laws, and impose their God’s law. That law is Sharia, and we know what its nature is. Chaudary believes that this goal should be achieved with Sharia and the sword and felt no shame in admitting it, because, according to him, Christians no longer have the strength to defend themselves because they have decayed.
Personally, I have no doubt that the international left has been conspiring since Antonio Gramsci formulated the strategy of undermining Western institutions with the evident purpose of causing them to implode. From the moment he formulated that idea until today, the progress made by the left is evident, noticeable in the weakening of the family, the attack on religion, the manipulation of history, and gender ideology. In this battlefield, these forces have given universities an essential role.
At first glance, it might seem that the protests were—and continue to be—spontaneous and that the motive has been the continuation of Israel’s military operations in Gaza. However, behind this context, there are several connections that dismantle this possible interpretation.
A recent article published by political scientist Julio M. Shiling in “Patria de Martí” (https://patriademarti.com/pwa.html), titled “Marxism more than anti-Semitism is responsible for university disturbances,” provides information on what has been happening and, above all, exposes its background. Julio shrewdly warns that “for political illiterates, the Palestinian cause is easy to sell,” forgetting that “the Palestinian identity is a synthetic invention and lacks a basis for legitimate claims.” And he states: “It is disappointing and dangerous to see how the bulk of the American political class and media commentators focus on the symptoms and not the cause.”
Shiling also exposes the relationship between the forces inciting the unrest in universities and those who provide them with substantial financial funds.
Another recent and documented investigation published by ADN Cuba, titled “Anti-Israel activists behind protests at Columbia University trained in Cuba for years,” supports the idea that Castroism, a historical ally of Muslim terrorists, is also behind these protests.
On the 76th anniversary of the creation of the State of Israel, I trust that the Jewish people will emerge triumphant against all threats from Muslim radicalism and the international left. I have no doubt that in this battle, the existence of the West is at stake and that Israel, as the people chosen by the one God, is the first trench against Muslim obscurantism and its allies.
