I have always been a great admirer of Yoram Ettinger whose sage opinion on the true and optimistic demographic situation of the Jewish birthrate in Israel was instrumental in demolishing the baleful and incorrect opinions of those who forecast a massive Arab population increase that would spell doom to the Jewish state.
I once had the opportunity to accompany Yoram while visiting the leftwing Oregonian newspaper and correcting it’s anti-Israel bias which, alas, continues – as does the entire fake news edifice.
Several years later, in the company of a dear and deeply lamented personal friend and fellow Zionist, the late Charles Schiffman, I met Yoram at a cafe in Jerusalem. As always, I was inspired by his innate knowledge and appraisal of the Middle East’s Arab and Islamic world’s shifting sands and how Israel should best react to it.
As Yoram reminds us, we must always be fully aware of the 1,400-year-old fanatic vision of the Ayatollahs – since their February 1979 violent ascension to power – of exporting the Shiite Revolution and toppling all “apostate” Sunni Arab regimes, especially the House of Saud – despite their current diplomatic tete-a-tete or lovefest.
Similarly, the Ayatollah’s visceral hatred of all non-Muslims drives the abiding desire to create a catastrophic and genocidal war in order to usher in their Shiite messiah, the 12th Imam, and thus a perceived victory thanks to a nuclear war.
As Mr. Ettinger points out, the resumption of Saudi – Iranian diplomatic relations constitutes a major geo-strategic gain for China and a major setback for the US in a region which, until recently, was perceived as a US domain. This is yet another disaster of the Biden regime, perhaps better named as the third term of Barack Hussein Obama.
