A Lesson and a Warning from Israel.

Wake up! It may aleady be too late.

Barry Shaw | The View from Israel | Oct 13, 2026

Images of the slaughter raised against Israel over the past decades in its battle with Islamist ideology. The major attacks include here are the 1972 Lod Airport massacre, the 1978 Coastal Road massacre, the suicide bombings of 2001–2003, rocket attacks on Israeli cities, and the October 7, 2023 Hamas-led massacre.  Image created via AI.**

In much of my research and reports I concentrate on the deterioration of the English-speaking parts of a once great Western civilization.

A self-imposed destruction.

And the fire that has sparked the flame that is burning down America, Canada, Britain, and Australia has been lit by Islamic textbooks adapted to indoctrinate and control the West and it includes the persuasion of young Western rebels in search of a cause that excites them and your leaders into adopting a suicidal empathy, a cause whose end game is to destroy and conquer you.

Young idiots are being manipulated on the street and on the campus to target an identifiable enemy as they bring down the structures on which Western values and cultures were founded.

Israel will survive. We have been forced not to be so trusting by those we naively thought could be peaceful neighbors.

In Judea, in Samaria, in Gaza, we gave them our land, our homes, the results of our agricultural and tourism development in return for mutual peace and prosperity.

How foolish that turned out to be.

But will the West survive, or will it also fall to the suicidal empathy we displayed in the past.

We see the deceptive indoctrination of the West.

This indoctrination can be seen everywhere where young white men and women adorn themselves with the uniform of the enemy of Western society, wearing the kefiyyahs of the Intifada, the symbol of a decades old murderous Arab wars against the Jews.

Those wearing kefiyyahs have become the uniformed kaffahs, the foot soldiers, of Islam.

The kefiyyeh began life as a garment of deception. namely worn by an Arab who wanted to get close to his victim without being identified. In the1930’s, the anti-British Arab rebel leadership ordered their killers and surrounded residents to exchange their traditional head-dress for a kefiyyah to project unity, yet become undentifiable. You surrendered your identity to a cause, a murderous cause.

It became the symbol of Arab deception when worn by Yasser Arafat, an Egyptian who posed as a Palestinian leader and became a mass murdering terror leader even after we signed a peace deal with him and allocated him and his killers essential parts of our geography.

We actually welcomed him into our lives – into our death.

I know this personally. I was a peacenik. Give peace a chance. Not any more!

I live in Netanya struck repeatedly by Arafat’s suicide bombers, gunmen, and car bombs.

And as I write this to you I am looking out of my window and I can see Palestinian homes looking down on me over what they call “the Green line.”

That’s where the deadly stupidity of one-sided unrequited peace gestures gets you.

It gets you dead.

And when you next hear your sons and your daughters chanting “From the River to the Sea” tell them I live a ten minute walk to the Mediterranean Sea and their murdering Palestinian idols are looking down on me.

So, no thank you!

Truth be told. Our enemy is now your enemy. What is unfolding in your city, in your country led by a government that has committed suicidal empathy by inviting the enemy into your midst where they will surely find a river and a sea in your land to continue their conquest of the West.

Wake up. Learn from us, Give them an inch and they will want a mile.

Give them a mile and they will take your town. Then your country.

Look around you, It has already begun.

Western civilization is at the crossroads, and the gatekeepers are doing a terrible job.

If you will not listen to me, an Israeli Jew, then let me conclude with the spine-shivering words of a Christian who warned; “First they came for the Socialists but I wasn’t a Socialist…”

You know how that ended…

Tell me. Do you have a Socialist Government as your gatekeeper…?

Welcome to your future!
