The US set the trap, Israel pulled the trigger: A new low for Zionist treachery

Since October 7, Israel has lashed out like a rabid dog—there’s hardly a law it hasn’t broken, an agreement it hasn’t trashed, a humanitarian principle it hasn’t violated, or a war crime it hasn’t committed. And it’s as if the country is chasing some grim form of “creativity,” trying to set a new record every day. Bombing hospitals. Slaughtering children. Targeting and killing journalists one after another. Massacring medics, teachers, and students. Starving civilians to death. Then bombing or sniping at those same starving people as they line up for the rare aid that reaches them.

Each of these acts crosses a red line that should have been unthinkable. Israel has carried out every atrocity we could imagine the world’s most ruthless power might dare attempt—and it does so under the unlimited protection of the United States. That backing means there’s no force willing or able to stop it. The weight of a power that has hijacked the world’s conscience, law, and order—and the arrogance trampling on humanity’s dignity—is felt by anyone with a shred of decency.

For critical movements everywhere, Gaza now stands as a torch of resistance: proof that even under today’s inhuman global order, the desire for freedom endures. Gaza has become the key word for yearning, demand, and struggle for liberation.

The Global Steadfastness (Sumud) flotilla is a moral uprising—civilian ships challenging brute force. Yesterday, Israel used drones to strike vessels docked in Tunisia that had sailed from Spain and Italy. These ships carried only civilians acting on conscience, determined to help those being bombed, starved, and massacred—yet Israel attacked them anyway.

At nearly the same moment, news broke that Israel had struck Hamas’s negotiating team in Doha, Qatar—right while they were reportedly discussing Trump’s proposed ceasefire terms. Within two days, Israel had attacked two more countries, including Tunisia, which posed no threat and whose ships hadn’t even set sail, and Doha—the capital that has led mediation efforts from the start.

Israel has assassinated Hamas political leader Ismail Haniyeh in Iran before, but hitting a mediation team in Qatar shows that no promise or word from Israel—or its patron, the U.S.—can be trusted. That this strike appears to have been carried out with Washington’s knowledge during ceasefire talks exposes a deliberate betrayal and shared complicity.

This should be a wake-up call for every Arab state doing business with Washington or Tel Aviv. What, exactly, are U.S. bases in Qatar protecting? Far from shielding the Gulf, they now look like the very source of danger. The same is true for Saudi Arabia.

Israel’s strike in Qatar should force every Arab and Muslim country to reassess its security and respond with more than hollow condemnations—real consequences for both Israel and the United States. Neither power is invincible if nations trust their own strength and, above all, God. Afghanistan’s mujahideen and Gaza’s Qassam Brigades have already shown this.

The Islamic world still has the chance—indeed the urgent need—to unite against this imminent threat. And we would do well to remember the Qur’anic warning: “The Children of Israel will respect neither kinship nor treaty with you.”
