Of course, we want to see eternal peace in the Middle East and across the world, but we know this whole war against Israel is really about eliminating Jews from the world, which is why often those who convert to Islam are classed as ‘reverts’. This is to claim that Islam was first in the Abrahamic world, but they can’t do that if Jews exist, so not to be seen as a copy-and-paste job, they need to get rid of those ‘Zionist’ Jews.
The same goes with Christians who persecuted Jews through history because they couldn’t authenticate Jesus as the Jewish messiah unless the Jews gave the stamp of approval, but they didn’t, so they best wipe out those ‘Zionist Jews’ of the planet to then make their claim Jesus is the Jewish messiah and saviour because all jews have now become Christians.
Which is why we know the bets on when the great Trump Peace Deal will collapse are probably happening right now in every chai shop from Karachi to Kabul and then further to the Starbucks across Europe and the USA. Even the Pakistani Prime Minister lurking in the background to President Trump has likely placed his wager, perhaps betting his prayer beads also on a bet when it all falls apart, while nominating President Trump for the “Merchant of Death” ( As Alfred Nobel was called ) award, better known as the Nobel Peace Prize.
We’ve seen plenty of MAGAstanis sobbing tearfully with devotion, declaring that the Almighty saved President Trump from two assassination attempts so he could bring “peace” to the world. But from a Hindu lens, the Devas sometimes choose the loudest egos and the most colourful fools as actors in the cosmic play.
After all, Krishna could have ended the Mahabharata with a flick of his blue finger—but no, He let it unfold so that the world would see the masks of Adharma for itself. Rama, too, could have vaporised Ravana with a single glance, but instead chose a full-blown battle to show that Dharma demands action, not hashtags.
Even though we do want President Trump’s “peace deal” to finally happen, but at the same time, it feels like it’s doing really good at the local betting shops across the globe with bets on its failure. Then perhaps the Gods are letting it play out again—reminding us that the real war against Adharma hasn’t ended yet, it just changed costumes.
