Modern Western Civilisation and Pax Judaica
Zionism was born out of a Judeo-Christian alliance. The origins of the Judeo-Christian alliance can be traced all the way back to Augustine of Hippo. His contributions to Christian theology and creed made such an impact in the Christian world that it eventually divided the Christians into two main bodies. If Augustine had not contributed to the development of the trinity and the doctrine of the Filioque, we may doubt whether the Filioque would have caused the Christians of the west to eventually split from the Orthodox body of Christians in the east. While the Christian church had laid down the creed that “the Holy Spirit proceeds from the Father”, Augustine had contributed to the indispensability of adding to that creed the phrase “and the Son” to be foundational to Christianity. This is what eventually caused them to separate themselves from the Christians of Byzantium. That dramatic split of the Christian world is known as the Great Schism. Not only its creed, but even the political philosophy of modern western civilisation traces back to Augustine. The seeds that Augustine planted, we could argue, bore fruits in the form of the Crusade as the first political project of the Christian West just forty-two years after that split. The Crusade was arguably the first international political project of the Western Christian world. The Crusade was ostensibly Christian when it commenced.
We could consequently argue that were it not for that split, Western Christians may never have allied with the Jews.
It is my personal view that the Crusade could not have commenced without the Great Schism and the Great Schism would not have occurred without Augustine’s contributions to the Christian creed. Augustine’s political doctrines were intertwined with that religious creed he had so laboriously laid down.
The reality of the Crusades, while they appeared to be Christian in nature, was unveiled when British General, Tony Allenby, declared after taking control over Palestine, from the Ottoman Empire, that the Crusades had finally been completed. This declaration came just a month after the Balfour declaration. In fact, speaking in terms of History, both declarations must be seen as having occurred together, that is, simultaneously. It must have been at that point in time that the world should have seen that the Crusades were essentially Judeo-Christian in nature. In other words, the Jews had either been involved in the Crusades from the very beginning since the Great Schism, or they could have begun taking advantage of the Crusades some time along the way until they hijacked it. Howbeit, by the end of the Crusades, it was clear that the purpose of liberating Palestine from Muslim rule had nothing to do with Christian political values, rather it was a Christian military effort on behalf of the Jews and to create a homeland for the Jews in Palestine. Otherwise, it would be valid to ask, why would the Christians almost immediately hand over to the Jews the fruit of something that they had taken 800 years to accomplish? It is highly likely that some Jews had played an important role from the very First Crusade. The Crusades were essentially led by one part of the Christian world (western) on behalf of one part of Jewry (those who eventually established the Zionist Movement). It took 800 years for this reality to be unveiled. As much as the Crusades were essentially Judeo-Christian, so too is Zionism essentially Judeo-Christian. It is quite unnecessary to separate Christian Zionism from Jewish Zionism.
The Quran warned about this Judeo-Christian alliance, that some of them are friends and allies of some others, meaning one part of the Christian world would ally with one part of the Jewish world.
يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لَا تَتَّخِذُوا الْيَهُودَ وَالنَّصَارَىٰ أَوْلِيَاءَ بَعْضُهُمْ أَوْلِيَاءُ بَعْضٍ وَمَنْ يَتَوَلَّهُمْ مِنْكُمْ فَإِنَّهُ مِنْهُمْ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يَهْدِي الْقَوْمَ الظَّالِمِينَ
O you who have īmān, do not take (such of) the Jews, and (of) the Christians as your friends and allies, (those of them who) are friends and allies of each other; any one from amongst you who turns to them (in friendship and alliance) now belongs to them; Certainly Allah does not guide a people who are oppressors.
The Quran clarifies in several other verses that this prohibition does not apply to all Jews and all Christians.
The first modern and significant expression of the need to create a home for the Jews in Palestine, was by a western Christian head of state who paraded as an emperor – Napoleon Bonaparte. In Alexandria, Napoleon had expressed in 1798, 10 years after the Jews were granted equal rights in the new French Republic, that there had come a need to establish for the Jews a political home in Palestine. This European Christian, with his new republican military garb, was merely treading the path which had been paved in 1096, forty-two years after the Great Schism, as the first Crusade.
A century after Napoleon’s call for the need to found a state for the Jews, the body of Pharoah was discovered and soon after, the Zionist movement whose antecedents had already emerged in Europe a century earlier, was now established. Let us review this in a timeline.
430 AD – Augustine of Hippo dies. He had by the time of his death already laid the foundations for the doctrine of the Filioque to be an important influencing factor for Western Christians to split from the Christians of Byzantium.
1054 – The Great Schism separates the Christians of the West from the Christians of the East based on the Great Shirk that insisted that the Holy Spirit came from the Son as well.
1096 – The First Crusade as the first international political project of the Western Christian world commences.
1688 – The Glorious Revolution brings William III of Orange to power, who then helps recognise the Jews to have equal rights with the British. This advances Jewish settlements and status in Britain.
1789 – The French Revolution sees the Jews rise to equal status in the First French Republic. Now the Jews gain more acceptance in Europe and become more established.
1798 – Napoleon Bonaparte’s assertion for the need to create a state for the Jews in Palestine.
1820s – First Jewish settlement projects in Palestine commence.
1881 – The body of Pharoah is discovered by the pseudo-academic bodies of the very Judeo-Christian alliance in discussion. The body of the great killer and oppressor of the Jews is presented to the world. This marks the beginning of international sympathy for the Jews.
1881 – The First Aliyah occurs under the disguise of Agriculture.
1897 – The Zionist movement is formally established with the First Zionist Congress in Basel, Switzerland.
Nov, 1917 – The Balfour Declaration promises a land for the Jews in Palestine.
Dec, 1917 – General Allenby declares the completion of the Crusades.
1918 – Palestine becomes a British Mandate.
1945 – Hitler is defeated. Like the body of Pharoah, Hitler’s defeat is presented as the end of the second persecution of the Jews after Pharaoh. This gains greater international sympathy and political support for the Jews and for a homeland, meaning a political state, for them in Palestine.
1948 – The state of Israel is established. Mission almost accomplished.
1989-91 – Just before the collapse of the USSR the last and most significant migration of the Jews to Israel from the lands of the Soviet Union commences and continues for a period of two years. Now the mission was accomplished.
2001 – Migration of the Jews to Israel come to an end.
It is noteworthy that the highest numbers of mass migration of the Jewish diaspora into Israel occurred on three occasions. First, when the body of Pharaoh was discovered and proclaimed to the world. Approximately 35,000 Jews migrated to Palestine. Second, when Hitler was defeated. Approximately 600,000 Jews migrated into the newly founded state of Israel. Third, when the emigration laws of the USSR were relaxed, and the USSR was on the brink of collapse. Approximately 750,000 Jews emigrated from the lands of the USSR into Israel.
There is a pattern here for those who think in terms of Islamic Eschatology. The pattern is visible from as early as two hundred years before the advent of Nabi Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam until recent events in the year 2023. The flow and pattern of these events indicate that none of these happened by chance or accident.
In Islamic eschatological terms, the establishment of the state of Israel should be considered one of the most significant accomplishments of Pax Americana. Second, the British and American efforts to bring the Jews back to the Holy Land after they were expelled from there by Allah Most High Himself, were finally completed 2000 years later with the collapse of the Soviet Union. This collapse of the Soviet Union was perhaps the second greatest achievement of Pax Americana. We identify those as Gog and Magog who brought the Jews back to the Holy Land 2000 years after they were expelled. Allah Most High revealed in the Quran:
وَحَرَامٌ عَلَىٰ قَرْيَةٍ أَهْلَكْنَاهَا أَنَّهُمْ لَا يَرْجِعُونَ
حَتَّىٰ إِذَا فُتِحَتْ يَأْجُوجُ وَمَأْجُوجُ وَهُمْ مِنْ كُلِّ حَدَبٍ يَنْسِلُونَ
There is a ban on the people of a town that We destroyed so that they will not return
Until Gog and Magog are released and they descend from every height.
This town we identify to be Jerusalem. Jerusalem was destroyed, meaning the people of Jerusalem were punished with destruction by external forces after they attempted to kill the Messiah, Jesus the son Mary alayhimassalam, under the disguise of meting out the capital punishment of crucifixion on him. After the Jews were expelled from Jerusalem, they never could return to reclaim Jerusalem as their own; that very Jerusalem from where Nabi Dawud and Nabi Sulaiman alayhimassalam ruled on a Divinely bestowed Khilafah state as the Quran mentions. But with the above verse of the Quran, it is not anymore strange that the Jews returned to Jerusalem and reclaimed it as their own wearing a Zionist cloak 2000 years after they were expelled. They did not however return on their own effort. Modern western civilisation fought centuries of wars to facilitate their return and finally brought them back at their own costs. They were the same people who had separated from the Christians of Byzantium. In yet other words, they were the same people here identified in this verse of the Quran as Gog and Magog.
The above therefore is the background to what is happening today in the holy land. One cannot view Zionism without this background knowledge. It is Gog and Magog who are the principal actors in these significant events of history that are unfolding as we write. In summary, the most important deductions we draw from the above events are as follows:
1. Without Augustine, the Christian world may not have split into two and modern western civilisation would not have come into being.
2. The Eastern Orthodox Christian world should be separated from Zionism.
3. Modern western civilisation could not have been born without the Great Schism.
4. The Crusade was the first international political project of modern western civilisation.
5. Modern western civilisation was essentially a Judeo-Christian alliance. The Eastern Orthodox Christian world have never been part of that Judeo-Christian alliance.
6. Britain led modern western civilisation and its first political project of the Crusades to its final success, about 800 years later, facilitating the birth of Zionism and the exodus of the Jewish diaspora to Palestine.
7. The United States of America achieves the establishment of the state of Israel and arms that state to its teeth until it becomes a nuclear power not bound by any international law. This special status and immunity granted to Israel is the ultimate success of the international liberal world order founded at the end of the second world war.
After the state of Israel was created in 1948, the next most important event to occur in the history of Zionist Israel was 75 years later, on the 8th of October 2023. These 75 years had moulded Israel into what it is destined to do in the near future.
Let us now continue from the war that commenced on the 8th of October 2023.
We argued some months ago that Israel did not start just a genocide in Gaza but a war in the region towards establishing a Greater Israel extending from the river Nile to the river Euphrates. This is the region Zionist Israel lays claim to using the Bible to justify it. When they speak of the political state of Israel from “the river to the sea”, they mean preventing the West Bank and Gaza from seceding to form a Palestinian state, which was after all an American liberal political idea. I call it American Palestinianism. The war that commenced on the 8th of October 2023 has confirmed that there will now be no two states between the river to the sea. The draft to try and appease the raging Arab populations for two secular states – one Jewish and the other Arab – from the river to the sea, which eventually turned into a political experiment of the American liberal two-state solution has now been crushed and dumped in the garbage bin. From now, Israel will not speak of the river to the sea; they will only speak of the Nile to the Euphrates. That is the real Greater Israel modern western civilisation and Zionist Israel will be working towards from now. Though it took seventy-five years to take everything from the river to the sea, we do not think it will take as long to now either take everything else from the Nile to the Euphrates, or command full control over the region. If the state of Israel does not dramatically expand, the entire region will be under little Israel’s command.
Let us now review what Israel has accomplished over the last one year and ten months.
1. The full territory from the river to the sea is now under the direct control of Israel. The resistance of Hamas and other allied fighters will remain insignificant until perhaps the Conquest of Constantinople. It is now up to Israel how to reshape the territory according to their vision and needs. Hamas is now contained in a very small and insignificant territory. Gaza has become uninhabitable, and the West Bank is in the process of being taken over entirely.
2. The two-state solution is now in the garbage bin. Even though the whole world is paying lip service to the two-state solution, no political actor can take any significant action to implement a process to see its fulfillment. Israel has successfully shut all doors for such a possibility.
3. Hezbollah in Lebanon has been severely restricted and contained. The routes through which the sources that had been feeding both Hamas and Hezbollah have been blocked though not entirely severed. This was achieved with the regime change operation in Syria. Without control over Syria, these channels that were feeding the armed resistance groups against Israel cannot function properly.
4. Assad’s regime has been successfully replaced with what will not pose a threat to Israel. After that regime change operation in Syria, the Golan Heights and several hundreds of square kilometres outside the occupied territory have now come under the direct control of Israel. As for the Golan Heights, according to Netanyahu, it will now be occupied for eternity. Assad was a threat to Israel because he would submit to neither Turkish nor Israeli demands. Assad was a friend of Iran. That threat has now been eliminated. While Israel was carrying out the mass execution of unarmed and innocent men, women and children in Gaza and the West Bank, as well as to advance further into Syrian territory, there was perhaps a Trotsky in the Turkish intelligence working for Israel in broad daylight, planning and executing the entire groundwork operation of the regime change.
5. Israel has destroyed the entire military capacity of Assad’s Syria. The new regime had no weapons, aircraft, artillery or any military equipment when they took over as the new rulers of Syria. It is not surprising they would want to build an entirely new army and buy everything they need anew for a fully functional armed force. It is also not surprising that they have now gone to Israel to discuss this. The US, Europe, Turkey and Qatar are ready to provide everything to this new Syrian regime at the behest of Israel. Syria will now enter into new debts. The terms will be dictated by Israel. The field is now ready for grazing.
6. Israel’s Kurdish friends in northern Syria have been granted autonomy even though they have been integrated into the new Syrian state, hence if necessary, Israel can use one against the other.
7. The stage has been set to begin the process to launch the David Corridor. If this comes to pass, and it is highly likely that it will come to pass, then Israel will have direct access to the eastern banks of the Euphrates in Syria. Not only that, but an oil transportation route may also be established, without much effort, from either Kurdish controlled Kirkuk or Erbil to Haifa. My suspicion is that Israel will aim to extend this control of the Euphrates to the city of Qurnah in Iraq where the Tigris meets the Euphrates. That will grant Israel control over the Shatt al-Arab and therefore access to the Persian Gulf.
8. The only enemies Israel now has remaining are the Yemeni Houthis in the South and Iran in the East.
9. As for the rest of the Middle East, they have either been convinced into cooperation with Israel through the Mediterranean Dialogue and the Abraham Accords, or threatened with assassinations, terrorism, or aerial bombardment.
Following logically from the above, Israel’s next target would either be Yemen or Iran. Yemen is not as powerful as Iran and is not as significant a threat to Israel. It is further away from Greater Israel, while Iran would one day be Greater Israel’s neighbour. Iran is the only enemy that has been in Israel’s plan for elimination since at least the 1990s, if not since 1979. This would certainly have placed Iran before Yemen in Israel’s list of enemy states, for at least fragmentation if not obedience, submission, destruction or regime-change. Israel therefore chose to attend to Iran, which is also, according to them, the head of the snake from where their troubles come.
Though Israel’s massacre of the innocent people of Gaza may be called a ‘genocide’, calling it so not only obfuscates Israel’s war of expansion in the region, but also reduces Israel’s aggressive conduct to its own political territory instead of the entire region and reduces the solution for Israel’s conduct to having an ethnic Palestinian state. ‘Genocide’ reduces the greater problem into a local ethnic conflict, let alone a religious one.
War is a mere continuation of policy by other means. This old maxim of Clausewitz continues to describe Israel’s actions in the one year and ten months that have passed since Oct 7th, 2023. That policy is of course Israel’s attempt to control the entire region of the Middle East and later extend the state’s frontiers to fulfill the claim to a Greater Israel, from the river Nile to the river Euphrates. It cannot be overlooked that Israel is not simply committing genocide; Israel is at war with everyone who stands as a hindrance to its religious claims.
It has now become clear, first of all, that Israel commenced a war to pursue the policy of forcing the entire region into submission, especially those who called themselves the axis of resistance. Defeating Hamas and Hezbollah was the perfect reason to pursue that policy aggressively so. Syria is now expected to normalise relations with Israel soon, otherwise suffer continued fragmentation. Those who proclaimed the takbeer in December 2024 after the collapse of the Assad government, are now embarrassed and remain silent. They may perhaps even shamelessly continue to defend the new Syrian regime to hide their embarrassment while Syria openly seeks normalisation with Israel.
Second, it has also become clear that Israel has ripped apart the international liberal world order that was established by the western powers at the end of the second World War. Israel has made international law and diplomacy insignificant. Israel does not recognise any sovereignty of nation states and territorial integrity, nor human rights. Israel has violated everything that was glorified and enshrined in the UN charter. In the background of all of this, the formation and rise of BRICS has added on to this trend that the international world order is no more based on western, liberal values and ideals. Adding salt to the wound MAGA and the dying petrodollar is causing America to retreat from managing world affairs. In short, Pax Americana has come to an end and Israel is rising to fill up the vacuum at least in its own region. There is no state in the world that can justifiably be considered the only remaining heir to Britain and America, except Israel.
Returning to Israel’s enemies, as anticipated, the campaign against Iran commenced immediately after the regime change operation in Syria. Nobody expected Israel to abruptly start the bombing campaign and so too nobody expected Israel to then abruptly stop the campaign within 12 days. Trump called it a 12-day war, and nobody knows why he said that. Perhaps he was hinting that this time it will not be like the 6-day war when though Israel had won, it had to nevertheless retreat and come to terms with the Arab world, accede to their demands, and commit itself to compromises based on the liberal values of the international order. It must be remembered that it was Trump who in his first term, shifted the American embassy in Tel Aviv to Jerusalem and said that Jerusalem ought to be the new capital of Israel. It has now been changed to Jerusalem.
Why would Israel start a war that it knows it cannot win? Did Israel not study Iran’s terrain? Did Israel not know that Iran does not possess nuclear weapons and have vowed not to do so? Did Israel not calculate that the American bunker buster bombs cannot penetrate Iran’s underground nuclear facilities? Why did Israel not target the important Bushehr nuclear plant? Did Israel not know about Iran’s missile capabilities and that they would respond; that their missiles have the capacity to penetrate Israel’s air defences? Was Israel not prepared to shelter its population in safehouses when Iran’s retaliatory missiles struck its territory? Does Israel not know that Tel Aviv and Haifa will burn? Does it not show that they were already prepared to be struck by the missiles? Does that not mean that Israel knew their air defences were not adequately armed and capable of defending against the onslaught of Iranian missiles? Yet why did they pursue a war the objectives of which they knew they would not be able to achieve? What were the objectives of Israel’s war against Iran? Why did Israel conceal or at least obscure its objectives when it started the attack on Iran? Why did Israel carry out an intensive aerial bombardment mission for twelve days until the last minute of the agreed ceasefire, while it knew very well such bombardments will not destroy Iran’s nuclear facilities? Why did the US enter into the war just to drop six bunker buster bombs at the wrong facilities from where the enriched uranium had already been removed to safer locations and then call it mission accomplished?
In short, why did Israel feign war with Iran? Something is amiss.
The only aims Israel achieved in this 12-day war were the assassinations of important personalities in the Iranian leadership. However, does Israel not know that they will soon be replaced by others in Iran? The only direction Israel could have taken in this regard is a regime change operation. But it did not seem that Israel had worked out a plan for such an operation as was carried out in Syria. There was no Trotsky in Iran to do the groundwork. How could a regime change be even imaginable?
Israel is not wont to start what seemed like a blitzkrieg war and then end it abruptly as if it had miscalculated the outcome, especially with Iran, which Israel has been calculating to eliminate or incapacitate since the 1990s. Israel is not wont to engage in such a counterproductive military campaign. What else could it be?
I suspect, and Allah knows best, Israel feigned war with Iran in order to carry out a swift aerial campaign while compromising the security of its own people so that it can draw a plan to take Iraq in the near future. In short it was a reconnoitring mission for Iraq under the disguise of war with Iran. I suspect, as soon as the Israeli intelligence had gathered all the necessary information required to draw such a plan, it agreed to a ceasefire to stop the war abruptly.
Israel now seems to be hinting at taking the necessary military steps to protect three roads to Souaida. The first, from Israel via Quneitra and then through the north of Daraa to Souaida. The second, from Israel via Quneitra and then through the south of Daraa to Souaida. The third, from Jordan to Souaida. Once all these routes are protected by the IDF under the pretext of addressing humanitarian crises the first part in establishing the David’s Corridor would have been accomplished. David’s Corridor would end at the eastern bank of the Euphrates in Syria. After that, it is highly possible that Israel will aim to take Qurnah and parts of western Iraq. After all, they will only be satisfied if they get all that they lay claim to.
If the Zionists believe in taking control of the Nile to the Euphrates, they must have realised by now that Iraq will be their prize possession.
During Pax Britannica, Britain had a prize possession. During Pax Americana, the United States of America had a prize possession. Britain’s was India, which they called “the jewel in the imperial crown” and America’s was Saudi Arabia thanks to whom the petrodollar was inaugurated, if not for which the US would not have been able to control the resources and finances of the world by artificially keeping the demand for the US dollar high. By logical deduction, when Pax Judaica replaces Pax Americana, Israel would also have a prize possession, and in the vast territory from the Nile to the Euphrates, no territory qualifies to be Israel’s prize possession more than Iraq. Whether Israel will achieve it or not, it will certainly aim to take possession of Iraq and place everything it has at stake to do so, or at least that part of Iraq that will grant Israel control over the oil and water resources.
The world saw the rise of Pax Britannica in the form of colonialism. The paradox of history is that the first significant opposition to that colonial world order came from America, which was an ally of Britain. It was America that not only facilitated the fall of Britain but also acted as the very catalyst for Britain to hand everything over to America. Pax Americana replaced Pax Britannica, and a liberal democratic world order replaced the colonial world order. Now the paradox of history is that the first significant opposition to that liberal world order is coming from Israel, which was born by the midwifery of both Britain and America. Of course, the State of Israel was the child of the Judeo-Christian alliance led by Gog and Magog. Israel is now not only facilitating the fall of America but is also acting as the very catalyst for America to hand over the reins to Israel. Pax Judaica is replacing Pax Americana and a new form of authoritarian, monarchic world order is rising to replace the democratic, liberal world order.
According to Islamic Eschatology, Israel will succeed, though the duration of Pax Judaica will be shorter compared to that of Pax Americana, as the duration of Pax Americana was shorter compared to that of Pax Britannica.
If Dajjal, or the Anti-Christ, is to appear in Jerusalem and declare himself as the Promised Messiah, he will have to convince the Jews and all of the Judeo-Christian alliance that his kingdom is now of this world; that he is the King of the Jews; that he is the legitimate inheritor of the throne of David, therefore a descendant of David, blessings be upon him. While David and the true Messiah cursed the Children of Israel for their abominable crimes, Dajjal will come as a descendant of that very noble prophet of Allah and continue the same crimes and sins. As we anticipate the advent of such a form of rule over the Holy Land, it indicates that the liberal world order will gradually be replaced by Personal Rule, that which will facilitate Dajjal to appear and claim to be the Promised Messiah.
The good news Islamic Eschatology has to offer is that not all the attempts of this western world order led by Gog and Magog to replace Pax Americana with a Pax Judaica will be successful. But that is for another occasion.
