Allow me, my friends, to use a rather hackneyed device in certain types of literature and say that after Iran's rocket and drone attack against the Zionist regime of Israel, tension in the Middle East escalated to such high levels that it can be cut with a knife.

The Iranian action was in response to Tel Aviv's unjustifiable attack on its consulate in Syria, where numerous people were killed, including two generals and five other officers of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard.

It did not take an expert to realize that such an aggression would have serious consequences in the area and for some days it was clear, inside and outside Israel, that there was a counter-offensive.

Benjamin Netanyahu threatened an attack against Iran, which has the world on tenterhooks because it would mean a generalization of the war in which, whether they want it or not, several European Union countries closely allied to Tel Aviv and its main partner, the United States, will be involved.

In fact, Washington, London and other capitals are actively working to dissuade the Zionist regime from taking de facto action, not for humanitarian reasons, but to maintain the supply of crude oil to the West.

A war in that region would have as its first casualty the maritime traffic through the Suez Canal and would put in trouble the powers through whose veins the crude oil flows, in addition to other risks, among them the eventual use of the undeclared nuclear arsenal in Israel's hands.

We are talking about a State that has shown clear signs of total irresponsibility and absolute disregard for the most elementary norms of coexistence among peoples and nations, and from which any behavior, no matter how brutal, can be expected.

And it is not only a problem of who is in power in that place, since in practice Netanyahu is just another representative of the international Zionist movement, which has nothing to do either with religion or with the non-Zionist Jewish people.

The solution, then, is not to replace Netanyahu but to dismantle the fabric of that movement, which is a fanaticism rarely seen in the world and an economic and financial network with links in almost all the capitalist countries of the West and elsewhere on the planet.

When you look at it this way, it explains then all the similarity between Zionism and German Nazism, where Adolf Hitler was only the visible head of the iceberg, but his strength was elsewhere, which, mind you, was not completely destroyed with his defeat in World War II.
