With every war that breaks out between the Palestinian resistance and the Israeli occupation army, talk is renewed about the future of the State of Israel, which was reinforced by the recent speech of the spokesman Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades The military wing of the Islamic Resistance Movement (agitation) Abu Ubaida, and his reference to a prophecy circulating in Israeli circles, which sparked interaction among Israelis and Arabs.
Last Saturday, Abu Ubaida said in Illustrated speech “The time of the myth of the invincible army has passed, and the current battle will be a turning point in the history of the nation (..). The time of the collapse of Zionism has begun and its curse has begun.” Eighth decade It will come upon them, and they will return to their Torah and Talmud, read it carefully, and wait impatiently for the time of their humiliation.”
Last year, former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak expressed his loyalty article In the Israeli newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth, he expressed his fears about the imminent demise of Israel before the 80th anniversary of its founding, citing “Jewish history which states that no state has existed for the Jews for more than 80 years except in two exceptional periods.”
He added that the experience of the current Hebrew-Zionist state is the third experience: the period of King David and the period of the Hasmoneans, both of which began their disintegration in the eighth decade, pointing out that their state is now in its eighth decade, and that he fears that the curse of the eighth decade will befall it as it befell its predecessor.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu preceded him several years ago, saying, “I will strive for Israel to reach its 100th birthday, because the issue of our existence is not understood or self-evident. History teaches us that no state has been built for the Jewish people for more than 80 years.”
Interaction of Israelis and Arabs
Abu Ubaida’s talk about the “curse of the eighth decade” sparked Israeli reaction. The Shabakat program (10/30/2023) monitored part of it, including what Nahum Weiss wrote: “It seems that there is no escape from the curse of the eighth decade! The founding fathers have passed away and the sons who build And now the grandchildren are being demolished.”
While Lieber tweeted, “Unfortunately, we may not be able to break the curse of the eighth decade. As has happened before, the country is collapsing again. And there does not seem to be anything that can prevent this crisis from being a fatal blow,” Tedo called on Netanyahu to resign, writing, “ Resign from your position, you loser, Netanyahu. The curse of the eighth decade will fall upon us because of you.”
The Arab Interaction Networks program also monitored what Yassin wrote: “Eighty years are just baseless myths, but Israel will inevitably disappear, as the Most Gracious promised in Surah Al-Isra, whether their existence is long or short.”
As for “Al-Maestro,” he believes in his tweet that “Abu Ubaida’s speech will instill fear in their souls more than they are terrified, and it will revive their fears that their end is near, and obsessive thoughts will creep into their souls… Victory is near, God willing.”
During the past few years, Israel witnessed multiple political crises that were reflected in its identity, and because of them it witnessed 4 early election rounds, and its streets were filled with demonstrators rejecting judicial amendments that Netanyahu wanted to pass. The differences were no longer limited to between the right and the left, but rather included differences between the right and the extreme right, and between Religious and secular, between Easterners and Westerners, and between Arabs and Jews.
