The roots is the rivalry that emerged after Khomeini's death as the ayatollah found the use of nuclear technology un-Islamic. The Israelis promised the US not to be first to be a nuclear power by signing the Atoms For Peace Accord. However, they broke the promise by secretly building a second nuclear reactor with the help of the French. The Israelis managed to have the first nuclear weapon in the 1960. Iran That changed when in 1979 Islamic Republic referendum, in which 98% of Iranian voters approved the country's shift to an Islamic republic, the new government began efforts to draft the present-day Constitution of the Islamic Republic of Iran; Ayatollah Khomeini emerged as the Supreme Leader of Iran in December 1979. Iran began with its nuclear program nearly 20 years after the Israelis had their first nuclear warhead.

SYRIA ( ISRAELI ATTACKS )
The roots is the rivalry that emerged after Khomeini's death as the ayatollah found the use of nuclear technology un-Islamic. The Israelis promised the US not to be first to be a nuclear power by signing the Atoms For Peace Accord. However, they broke the promise by secretly building a second nuclear reactor with the help of the French. The Israelis managed to have the first nuclear weapon in the 1960. Iran That changed when in 1979 Islamic Republic referendum, in which 98% of Iranian voters approved the country's shift to an Islamic republic, the new government began efforts to draft the present-day Constitution of the Islamic Republic of Iran; Ayatollah Khomeini emerged as the Supreme Leader of Iran in December 1979. Iran began with its nuclear program nearly 20 years after the Israelis had their first nuclear warhead.

GAZA WAR 2023
BEHIND THE HAMAS RESISTANCE ATTACK
Our view on the cause of the war On October 7, 2023 Hamas carried out an attack that have surprised the Israelis the most. The attack has been dubbed as a terrorist attack which is not in line with the international status the Gaza Strip is declared by the United Nations, as occupied. The non-politicized definition of an terrorist attack is those that is carried by an attacker who is resided in the territory where the attacker wants to carry out the attack. The attack must also taken place in time of peace. 1. Hamas does not have a presence on the other side of the fence. Based on developments which have happened from July 2023 to the day before the war, on October 7, 2023 Hamas carried out an resistance attack The Israelis are war belligerent since they never signed peace with the Palestinians. This can be concluded by looking at the numerous warnings by the United Nations and to the Israelis, that acts and/or activities against occupied people amounts to war crimes. Another reference is the answer that was given in January 2009 by the then spokesperson for the Israelis, Mark Regev, to the question if the Israelis are at war: "We are at war in all time". Then, the reference of an interview by CNN from the same period in which Netanyahu is seen saying "Hamas must be destroyed". Nearly all media describe the attack is "terrorist" which is not in line with the international legal status of the Gaza Strip that is described as "blocked" but by the United Nations described as "occupied". The claim that the attack is of terrorism is (religionized) politically motivated and doesn't reflect with the reality when looking at the territorial situation the Israelis are holding Gaza in for more than 17 years, and when looking at the international legal status the Israelis are: they are still a war belligerent and still an occupying power. There are no terrorist attacks when there is a never lifted territorial situation of occupation in Gaza since 2007. |

GAZA WAR 2023 - PRE-WAR SITUATION
On October 7, 2023 Hamas carried out an attack that have surprised the Israelis the most. The attack has been dubbed as a terrorist attack which is not in line with the international status the Gaza Strip is declared by the United Nations, as occupied. The non-politicized definition of an terrorist attack is those that is carried by an attacker who is resided in the territory where the attacker wants to carry out the attack. The attack must also taken place in time of peace. The Israelis are war belligerent since they never signed peace with the Palestinians. This can be concluded by looking at the numerous warnings by the United Nations and to the Israelis, that acts and/or activities against occupied people amounts to war crimes. Another reference is the answer that was given in January 2009 by the then spokesperson for the Israelis, Mark Regev, to the question if the Israelis are at war: "We are at war in all time". Then the reference of an interview by CNN from the same period in which Netanyahu is seen saying "Hamas must be destroyed". The Israelis keep the territorial situation of Gaza as that of occupation for more than 17 years. This means that an attack carried out by anyone who is under occupation, is not an terrorist attack. |

These characteristics were found in the way how the Israelis brought the declaration of war into practice after the Hamas resistance attack on October 7, 2023. In relation to Gaza, dystopian is adjective to or denoting an imagined society where there is great suffering or injustice. In relation to the Palestinian people in Gaza, they have been an imagined society in which these people lead dehumanized, fearful, miserable lives.
