If Israel’s first problem is “racism,” which is inherent in its basic ideology and religious beliefs, then its second problem would be “violence” or aggressive nature. This is manifested in cruelty, harshness, and stubbornness, that even their own Torah describes them as "a stiff-necked people."

The Quran also addresses this, saying: “But [instead], your hearts became hardened, and became as rocks, or even harder. For indeed, there are rocks from which rivers burst forth, and there are rocks which split open, and water comes out, and there are rocks that fall down for the fear of Allah. And Allah is not unaware of what you do.” (Al-Baqarah:74).

The Quran clarifies, in another chapter, that this hardness was their punishment from Allah for violating the covenants and agreements they had with Him. It says: “So for their breaking of the covenant, We cursed them and made their hearts hard.” (Al-Ma'idah:13). This aggressive nature of “Israel” is due to its religious resources, as they are willing to shed blood, violate sanctities, destroy homes, and waste money to achieve their goals, considering people as mere instruments in the service of “Israel.”

This is evident in the five books of the Torah and in the subsequent books of the prophets, especially the Book of Isaiah, which the Israelis admired and called the “Warrior Prophet.”

It is even more explicit in the Talmud, which the Jews often hold in higher regard than the Torah itself and consider it more sacred.

This is expressed by Menachem Begin, one of the key figures of the Zionist criminal gangs before the establishment of Israel and later the head of the Likud coalition after Israel's establishment. In his book "The Revolt," he said: "I fight; therefore, I am!"

Anyone who reads the recent history of Israel, especially with the Palestinians and the Arabs in general, will find this aggressive nature unhidden. It is manifested in the human massacres that forced the Palestinians to leave their homes, displacing them across the land, and the ongoing aggressive actions carried out by the government and the settlers. It's seen in the illegal occupation of Palestinian territories, the settlements in Jerusalem, the West Bank, and Gaza, and the horrific massacres in Sabra and Shatila, the Ibrahimi Mosque during dawn in Ramadan as fasting Muslims were praying, and Qana in Lebanon. It's also evident in the killings in the tunnel in Jerusalem, and what was revealed before that of the Egyptian prisoners’ mass killing and the murder of schoolchildren in Bahr El Baqar, Egypt.

Israel’s violence also manifests in  arrests, torture, collective punishment, and the demolition of the homes of resistance members, as well as the attempts by the state - under the orders of its former and current prime ministers - to assassinate and eliminate individuals, similar to what Rabin did in killing Fathi Shaqaqi and Yahya Ayyash, or what Netanyahu attempted by targeting Khalid Mashal, Hamas' politburo chairman and the exposure of his actions and those of the Mossad. All of this was driven by mere power, not logic. Israel's logic is that of violence and terrorism.

We really wonder how people who have long complained about persecution and aggression, by the Nazis and others, would do the same to others, violating their land, sovereignty, and rights for no other reason than being attached to their own homeland and their attempt to defend it.
