دأبت إسرائيل، منذ قيامها، على تكريس سردية مفادها أنها تعيش في خوف دائم من محيطها الذي يتربّص بها ويريد إزالتها من الوجود، تحاول من خلالها الإيحاء بأنها الطرف المستضعف المهدد الذي لا يطمح إلى أكثر من العيش في أمن وسلام. للأسف انطلت هذه السردية على كثيرٍ من مجتمعات العالم، وتبنتها دول عديدة في مقدمتها الدول الكبرى، التي قدمت لإسرائيل أضعاف ما تحتاجه دولة بحجمها من دعم عسكري واقتصادي وسياسي.
التأريخ والأحداث منذ نشأة إسرائيل تثبت مغالطتها وكذب سرديتها، فهي لم تتعرض لتهديد مباشر من محيطها العربي يبرر قيامها بكل الحروب الكبرى والصغرى التي نفذتها. هي البادئة بالاعتداء، وهي التي تخلق لنفسها المبررات.
الحقائق أثبتت أنها هي الخطر على المحيط العربي وليس العكس. كانت تنفي اتهامها بنواياها التوسعية المستندة إلى أرض الميعاد التي تتسع من النهر إلى النهر. كانت تنكر ذلك رغم أن الكثير من سياسييها ومثقفيها ورجال الدين المتطرفين فيها يشيرون إلى ذلك بشكل مباشر في كثير من الأحيان؛. أي أن الدولة التي تدعي المظلومية ووقوعها في دائرة خطر وجودي، هي في الحقيقة التي تطمح إلى التوسع واحتلال أراضي الآخرين، على نطاق أوسع بكثير من الأراضي التي سبق احتلالها.
الآن، في هذا الوقت الحرج الذي تعيشه المنطقة، وفي ظل الجهود الكثيفة لإحلال السلام عن طريق حل الدولتين وإحقاق الحق الفلسطيني بإقامة دولة وفقاً لقرارات الشرعية الدولية ومبادرة السلام العربية، يخرج بنيامين نتنياهو ليقول أمام العالم بأنه يشعر بواجبه الروحي ورسالته المقدسة لتحقيق الحلم التوسعي لإسرائيل، يقول ذلك وجيشه ما زال يقوم بأبشع إبادة بشرية وأقبح تنكيل بشعب غزة، في مشاهد يتابعها العالم على مدار الساعة.
هل ما قاله نتنياهو مجرد مناورة تصعيدية تحسباً لما يترقبه العالم في الأمم المتحدة شهر سبتمبر المقبل من حشد لاعتراف المزيد من دول العالم بدولة فلسطين، والضغط لفرض عملية سلام مستدامة، أم أنه فعلاً وكما أثبت الماضي والحاضر أن إسرائيل لا تريد السلام أبداً، وتزيد على ذلك بعزمها الحقيقي على تنفيذ مخططها التوسعي كما يؤمن به أصحاب القرار والتأثير فيها، وهذا ما يتضح بشكل أكبر مع الوقت.
الأمر ليس بالبساطة التي تظنها إسرائيل مهما كانت قوتها ومهما كثرت الثغرات في محيطها. إنها تدفع المنطقة المتوترة إلى مزيدٍ من التوتر، وفي النهاية هناك دول قائمة لها سيادتها وشعوبها وتأريخها وجيوشها، على إسرائيل أن تعي جيداً أنها لن تتساهل تجاه الغطرسة والمغامرات المتهورة التي تخطط لاقترافها. وعلى المجتمع الدولي أن ينتبه بجدية وحزم لمنع حرائق كبرى تنوي إسرائيل إشعالها.

Since its establishment, Israel has consistently promoted a narrative that it lives in constant fear of its surroundings, which it claims are lurking to eliminate it from existence. This narrative attempts to imply that it is the oppressed and threatened party that aspires to nothing more than living in security and peace. Unfortunately, this narrative has deceived many societies around the world, and it has been adopted by numerous countries, especially major powers, which have provided Israel with multiples of what a state of its size needs in military, economic, and political support.
The history and events since Israel's inception prove the fallacy and falsehood of its narrative. It has not faced a direct threat from its Arab surroundings that justifies its initiation of all the major and minor wars it has conducted. It is the aggressor, and it creates justifications for itself.
Facts have shown that it is the danger to the Arab surroundings, not the other way around. It has denied accusations of its expansionist intentions based on the Promised Land that stretches from river to river. It has denied this despite many of its politicians, intellectuals, and extremist religious figures often pointing to it directly; that is, the state that claims to be oppressed and in a state of existential danger is, in reality, the one that aspires to expand and occupy the lands of others, on a much larger scale than the territories it has already occupied.
Now, at this critical time the region is experiencing, amidst intense efforts to achieve peace through a two-state solution and to realize Palestinian rights by establishing a state in accordance with international legitimacy and the Arab Peace Initiative, Benjamin Netanyahu emerges to tell the world that he feels a spiritual duty and a sacred mission to achieve Israel's expansionist dream. He says this while his army continues to commit the most heinous acts of genocide and the ugliest forms of persecution against the people of Gaza, in scenes that the world is watching around the clock.
Is what Netanyahu said merely an escalatory maneuver in anticipation of what the world is expecting at the United Nations next September regarding the recognition of more countries of the State of Palestine and the pressure to impose a sustainable peace process? Or is it indeed, as proven by the past and present, that Israel never wants peace and is further determined to implement its expansionist plan as believed by those in decision-making and influential positions within it? This becomes clearer with time.
The matter is not as simple as Israel thinks, no matter how strong it is and how many gaps exist in its surroundings. It is pushing the tense region towards further tension, and in the end, there are established countries with their sovereignty, peoples, histories, and armies. Israel must fully realize that it will not be tolerated regarding the arrogance and reckless adventures it plans to undertake. The international community must pay serious and firm attention to prevent major fires that Israel intends to ignite.
