What is regarded as intractable, age-old, Israeli-Palestinian mutual antipathy turns out to be of very recent origin indeed. This paper examines that origin against the backdrop of the much longer history of good will shown to the Jewish people in Palestine and across the umma by Muslims over almost a millennium and a half. Investigating the origin of the conflict means necessarily to explore great power dynamics, and also the operations of finance, most particularly fiat currency.
The conflict in Ukraine and the conflict in Gaza are in reality different fronts in one and the same war: a war that is being fought in a desperate attempt to maintain the supremacy of the dollar as the reserve currency of the world. This is in order to preserve the hegemony of the Euro/American domination of the world that has been a given for the past four centuries and is now, for the first time, in imminent danger of being superseded.
