Welcome to the 'new' age!

To those who advocate calm in the Middle East, i.e. politik speak  for Israel to 'withdraw from the 'occupied' territory', consider this:

But led by the Islamists in Iran and their proxies, over recent years Israel’s enemies have chosen the tactic of terrorism rather than invasion to achieve their ends. On occasion, as in Lebanon in 1982, Israel has responded by strategically occupying land to prevent such attacks. Each time it has given up such land — as in Gaza in 2005 — its withdrawal has been met with terror, not peace. Over recent years more than 12,000 rockets have been fired on Israel from Gaza.In the background of all this is an Iranian regime which has as its repeatedly stated aim the eradication of the world’s only Jewish state. Among those stories lost during last week’s fighting is the IAEA’s discovery of a massive increase in centrifuge building at Iran’s nuclear facilities.
Like the Mullahs, the Brotherhood and other Islamists have very clear aims, and a very clear drive. Their brands of revolutionary politics are noticeable for two things in particular: fundamentalism and patience. While many groups — al-Qa’eda for instance — possess one of these traits, until now, few possessed both.
The overthrow of the dictators is recognised as one of the great stories of our time. And so it is. But the rise to power and consolidation of the Islamists is that story’s overlooked sequel. Today the complexities of the region look in danger of clarifying. Obviously this development matters very much to Israel. But anyone who thinks these forces are only a problem for Israel should reflect on the fact that — by their own unanimous admission — the Islamists only intend to be a problem for Israel first. (Douglas Murray, The Spectator.)

No amount of surrender from Israel or any other Western nation will satisfy the Jihadists now occupying the seats of power from Cairo to Tehran. They believe in a 'second coming', the Mahdi, a saviour and instigator of an 'Armageddon'. But the Islamists are not content to allow God to make it happen, they want to usher it in all on their own, thus they have no aversion to annihilating millions if need be. Note the end of the article where it says...Israel first.
