Imagine how different the situation would be today if the Biden regime hadn’t renewed the Obama policy of appeasing and accommodating the Islamic regime in Tehran.
“Iran’s Raisi meets with top Hamas and Islamic Jihad officials, urges Israel’s defeat,” Times of Israel, May 4, 2023:
Iran’s president met senior Palestinian officials in Damascus and expressed his country’s support Thursday as Tehran and Syria signed a series of agreements.
Damascus-based Palestinian official Khaled Abdul-Majid told The Associated Press that the delegation — which included top leaders from the Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad terror groups — briefed Iran’s Ebrahim Raisi on the situation in the West Bank, Jerusalem and Gaza Strip.
Iran has been a main backer of some Palestinian factions, supplying them with weapons and money.
“The Palestinian leaders thanked Iran for its support to the resistance and the Palestinian cause,” Abdul-Majid, who attended the talks, said after the meeting. Abdul-Majid, who is a leader of the Syrian government-allied Palestinian Resistance Factions Coalition, added that Raisi confirmed to the Palestinian officials that Iran will continue supporting the Palestinians.
Among the Palestinians in attendance was Islamic Jihad leader Ziad Nakhaleh, who is based in Syria, and Khalil al-Hayya, a senior member in the Gaza-ruling Hamas.
According to a statement from Raisi’s office, the Iranian president urged Muslims to “use all their capacities to achieve the violated rights of Palestine and the freedom of the holy Quds [Jerusalem].”
“Today more than ever, the unity and cohesion of the resistance forces, the region and the Islamic world is necessary to accelerate the defeat of the Zionist regime and the liberation of the holy Quds and the sovereignty of the Palestinians over their destiny,” Raisi was quoted as saying.
He added: “We consider the collapse of the Zionist regime, whose effects are visible, to be very close.”
Turning to the Abraham Accords normalization agreements that Israel signed in 2020 with the UAE, Bahrain and Morocco, Raisi said that the Trump administration, which brokered the agreements “forced some governments to restore relations with the Zionists, but what actually happened was [Israel] reneging on its promises and continuing to violate Palestinians’ rights and to commit murder and plunder.”
However, those who signed those deals with Israel have now seen the error of their ways, Raisi claimed. “It reached a point where the supporters of the normalization of relations are facing protests and questions by their own people and realized that there is no other path but to resist and stand against the Zionist regime.”…

Every time that I read these articles concerning Israel and the Arabs (so-called Palestinians), I cannot but think about what a great place the whole area could be. As hard as it is to imagine, I could see a state called Palestine where most people had a good job, children receiving a fine education, safe water to drink, creating plantations of olive and fig trees along the side of other crops but all I and most normal visioned people is poverty. I also can vision school children attending classes without wondering if they might be killed because of the international illegal military tunnels beneath their classrooms but then I awaken to the sad world that exists where a Jewish person will be killed out of hatred or an Arab killed because of his/her malice toward a Jew who has done nothing against anyone.

It’s utter nonsense.- Sorry.
