Israel’s latest Zionist government includes Islamists with it’s radical right terror supporting Itamar Ben-Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich. Netanyahu would not be able to do what he’s been doing to the Christians in Palestine, Lebanon and Syrian lands without Islamic support. Ever since Rabbi Simon ben Yohai claimed the Ishmaelites would provide relief for the Jews by eliminating the Christians 1900 odd years ago, they have been working together whenever required for that goal. This goal explains Israeli financial support for organisations such as the Muslim Brotherhood, Islamic State and Hamas. Ultimately, this alliance shows Muslims are willing to sacrifice their own in Gaza to cleanse the earliest Christians from the region for the Greater Israel Project.
October 7 and the Gaza war would never have happened without Islamic Support of Israel at every level of society.
While academics have their own theories of why a far-right Zionist government includes Islamists, Jewish rabbis are far more blunt. As Rabbi David Touitou puts it “Islam is the broom of Israel”.
However Israeli academics must be more sympathetic to both parties, as per this research paper of the Tel Aviv University Department of Arabic and Islamic Studies entitled “Islamists in a Zionist coalition: the political and religious origins” published in 2025.
The papers abstract is as follows:
On June 13, 2021, the United Arab List, representing the Southern Branch of the Islamic Movement in Israel (SIM), became the first independent Arab party to join a Zionist governmental coalition. The article analyzes why the move hardly stirred opposition within the leadership and the popular base of a movement rooted in the Muslim Brothers. It demonstrates that the SIM’s coalition-oriented agenda responded to the firm and consistent demand for greater political impact voiced by a majority of the Arab public in Israel, and was commensurate with the religio-legal arguments introduced by the movement over two and a half decades of defending its decision to run for the Knesset. These arguments include stressing the importance of pragmatism in Islam and drawing analogies to religious narratives about cooperation with and service in infidel governments, such as the conduct of Muslims in Abyssinia and the conduct of Prophet Joseph in Egypt. Ironically, rather than limit its options, the Islamic premise upon which the United Arab List has operated turned out to allow it flexibility other Arab parties in Israel could not afford.
