This week’s “expert” is Fakhri Hashem Al-Sayed Ragab of Kuwait’s Al Qabas.
He writes:
Peace for the State of Israel basically contradicts its biggest goal, which is that its borders should be from the Euphrates to the Nile ..And if those that were forcibly planted in Palestine are working today vigorously and mainly to conclude peace agreements and normalize relations, then this is not for the purpose of the peoples of the region to live in peace, but rather to separate the east of the Arab world from its west in principle, and this has already happened and created a state of permanent tension, based on Western sympathy and support for them as an entity that protects their interests first.
It will also fulfill the hope of the West and other countries that the Jews of the world gather in a place far from Europe and elsewhere (specifically Palestine) in order to get rid of the arrogance and aggression that were associated with them as Jews, specifically the Zionists among them.
A major geo-political change has taken place and is rapidly developing in the interest of this entity [Israel.] As for the majority of the Arab people, we reap nothing but failures, humiliation and destructive wars. …While the Zionist state of Israel is controlling the computers of the world today, and they produce medicines for terminal diseases, researchers for them are infiltrating the borders of the countries of the world, they are serious in their quest to destroy us. As for us: it seems that we have nothing left but to raise our hands to applaud them.
This covered a lot of the Arab world’s opinion about Israel since the 1950s. But it takes a special kind of stupid to think Israel’s peace treaties with Egypt and Jordan are compatible with a desire to expand from to the Nile to the Euphrates.
