Jew-hating Arab intellectual sees the Gaza war as a means for Egypt, Turkey and Iran to dismantle Israel

Morocco's' Hespress describes an article in an intellectual journal Al-Nahda (Renaissance) saying that the Hamas pogrom on October 7 is an opportunity for Egypt, Turkey and Iran to work together to destroy Israel.

he uses antisemitic stereotypes like the idea that Israel is not only intending to expand from "the Nile to the Euphrates" but far beyond that. He emphasizes that this is a Talmudic plan. 

In case you miss his antisemitism, the photo in the article shows exactly what he hates about Israel.



He also sees Zionism as primarily a movement to destroy Arab chances of becoming a liberal force.

There is not even a hint that Hamas atrocities are horrendous. Instead, this thinker sees it as a wonderful start to an opportunity/

This is a public intellectual, a representative of a leading Arab journal. This is the kind of mainstream antisemitic and self-centered thinking that is not just accepted but celebrated in the Arab world. 

Here's the entire article, I could not find the paper that is being referred to.

In a call titled “Now, not tomorrow,” Noor Al-Din Al-Awfi, a Moroccan economist and director of the intellectual journal Al-Nahda, stated: “The plan that was once known only to the elite has now been laid bare to the public. It is the plan of the Jewish state over Arab land, all Arab land, from the river to the Euphrates, and beyond the Euphrates, and even beyond that.”

Al-Awfi added: “What was once exposed has now become scandalously evident, revealed by the Al-Aqsa Flood. The plan was being cooked on a low flame, but the Al-Aqsa Flood spoiled the feast for the entity, unmasking its makers and those working on it, as well as exposing the masks of those whose hearts are cowardly and whose swords are complicit. The Zionist roadmap has taken steps toward realization since the Al-Aqsa Flood; the fall of Syria is a pivotal step in it, and Egypt may be the ‘final touch,’ the cherry on the cake, preceded by Lebanon and Jordan, and followed by Saudi Arabia and the rest of the map.”

The writer noted: “Some Arabs believe that ‘realism’ requires ensuring safety and avoiding regret, and that safety demands ignoring everything happening in Gaza; yet, as the ancients said: ‘He who escapes the arrow is wounded by the bow.’”

Al-Awfi emphasized in his call that “the resistance alone stands firm, steadfast, and obstructing the implementation of the Zionist project and the transformation of Talmudic delusions into reality.” 

He stressed that “the colonial Zionist project is a negation of the Arab renaissance project, which was built on six pillars: national and pan-Arab independence, democracy, independent development, social justice, unity, and civilizational renewal. Who among us does not believe in these pillars? Who among us does not aspire to live under their roof here and now? The project has not yet found, to this day, those who will carry it, support it, develop it, enrich it, and transform it from an intellectual proposition into a political project to build strategic self-capacity, confront the Zionist project, resist foreign domination, and liberate Arab land.”

The Moroccan economist and academic commented: “Some describe the aspiration for the renaissance and regional unity project as a feeble, outdated nationalist ideology.” He countered, saying: “On the contrary, it is the call of the future; it is driven by need, necessitated by urgency, and demanded by awareness.”

Al-Awfi underlined that “Egypt holds the leading role in this urgent, not delayed, awakening. It alone, now and not tomorrow, is capable of weaving a broad civilizational alliance comprising three different but united solidarities in a ‘common cultural and civilizational solidarity,’ formed by Arab states, Turkey, and Iran, in a political, practical, utilitarian alliance, neither ideological nor sectarian. This alliance, building on the shockwave caused by the Al-Aqsa Flood, could shift the balance of power regionally and globally, foil the imperialist strategy, and dismantle the Zionist plan entirely.”
