This is perhaps the reason why yesterday Netanyahu changed the narrative from simply a secular anti-Terrorism War to a War primarily based on two factors by quoting the Book of Isaiah:
Nothing moves the imagination of human beings more than Faith, whether Abrahamic or not.
More profoundly than any ideology
More comprehensive than any secular socio-political group
Religion and Faith, although non-Abrahamic ones and without necessarily well-structured elements, are more capable of influencing the human mind more strongly than anything in this world
Obviously this would further irritate sectors of the third position, anti-immigration traditionalists and Christian Nationalists (like me) who view with suspicion and absurdity what Israel does to not only Christians in the Holy Land, but in Lebanon (where they stabbed them in the back to the only Christian force capable of keeping Lebanon standing as an independent and sovereign nation), Iraq (Netanyahu and the Israeli Government openly lobbied in favor of the invasion of Iraq, which caused the removal of millions of Assyrian Christians from its native lands) and Syria.
It's a fact and nothing more than that:
But obviously, the Zionist Groups would not do such a thing, mainly for fear that the Christians would eventually want to take Eretz Zion for themselves (as is their right for us) and mainly due to the fact that the Israeli Government itself has, as previously noted, a limit in its soft power and capacity for action outside the region
Therefore, the only chance that Israel currently has, if the Europeans and Americans, do not come to its aid in an eventual all-out war between them and the Muslims, would be to resort to groups that are regionally enemies of its enemies, in the same style of Quid Pro Quo:
Obviously, the idea that such groups would necessarily cooperate with Israel in the event of an all-out war is based on nothing less than speculative pondering and wishful thinking.
But it is still a possibility, especially considering that some of these, each according to their agendas and objectives, already do it.
Not to mention obviously the impact that a War for Jerusalem and Al-Aqsa has on the Muslim imagination.
The Hadiths about the Flourishing State of Jerusalem, the Black Flags coming from Khorasan and Al-Malhama Al-Kubra are still present in the imagination of the average religious Muslim in the Middle East and Central/West Asia
Disregarding these points is ignoring a main point present in the socio-political-religious vision of billions of people, of which some millions would certainly be willing to sacrifice everything to fight in the name of such a cause and such a vision, whether you agree with it or not.
One could imagine what would happen if the Invasion of Gaza happens on the scale predicted by some here (including me) - that the invasion will be brutal, bloody and cost the lives of tens of thousands of innocent people - and the surrounding Waqfs of the Middle East declare Jihad against Israel and the West as reaction.
Certainly some groups of Muslims would certainly think, just as religious Jews believe that the Messianic Era has arrived, that:
🇺🇸 #Oklahoma high school principal (Kirk Moore) seen charging at and disarming a school shooter.
The suspect, identified as 20-year-old Victor Hawkins, was a former student who said he wanted to shoot up the school “like the Columbine shooters did.” While taking down the shooter, Moore was shot in the leg. He is expected to recover.
When the Principal woke up that day, he never thought he would be tackling a gunman.

🇨🇳🛢 How much strategic oil does the world actually have in reserve?
Global strategic crude oil inventories stood at ~2.5 BILLION barrels as of December 2025, according to the US Energy Information Administration.
China holds by far the largest stockpile at 1,397 million barrels, more than 3 times the US Strategic Petroleum Reserve of 413 million barrels, which itself sits at only 58% of its full storage capacity of 714 million barrels.
China added an average of 1.1 million barrels per day to its strategic inventories throughout 2025, with preliminary data suggesting it continued building stockpiles in early 2026 ahead of the Iran War.
Japan holds the 3rd-largest reserve at 263 million barrels, followed by OECD European countries at 179 million barrels.
Meanwhile, the US is releasing 172 million barrels from its Strategic Petroleum Reserve to suppress oil prices, part of a broader 400 million barrel coordinated release agreed by 32 IEA member nations in March.

🛢 JP Morgan Warns Oil Market Out of Balance, Prices Must Rise
🔸The closure of the Strait of Hormuz, through which roughly 20% of the world’s oil flows, has removed 13.7 million barrels per day from global supply in April alone. A JP Morgan research note warns the market has no good way to replace it.
🔸Normally, spare production capacity in Saudi Arabia and the UAE acts as the market’s shock absorber. But that buffer has effectively been removed, eliminating the system’s first line of defense.
🔸With spare capacity unavailable, markets turned to inventories
➤ Global stockpiles are now being drained at ~7.1 mbd in April, an extraordinary pace, according to the note.
🔸Meanwhile, demand is collapsing because supply simply isn’t reaching users — “forced demand destruction.”The hardest hit sectors include:
▪️ Petrochemical plants across Asia are shutting down or slashing output as LPG, ethane, and naphtha flows from the Gulf collapse
▪️ Airline jet fuel ...
🛢⛽️ Global oil inventories are heading toward RECORD LOWS:
Global visible oil inventories have fallen -255 million barrels since the start of the conflict on February 27, to 7,864 million barrels.
Total estimated oil draws, including non-OECD refined products storage, have accelerated to 10.9 million barrels per day in April, the largest monthly draws on record since 2017.
Cumulative estimated draws since the start of the war now stand at 474 million barrels, with Hormuz flows holding at ~10% of normal, or 2.0 million barrels per day.
Meanwhile, even in an optimistic scenario where Strait of Hormuz flows begin recovering by late April, it is unlikely to prevent global visible inventories from reaching all-time lows, according to Goldman Sachs.
As inventories keep falling, physical oil markets are likely to require sharply higher prices for immediate delivery, since buyers cannot wait months for cheaper futures delivery when stocks are running critically low.
