I thought I`d give some thoughts on what I see might occur following the `war` now in progress with Israel and Hamas in Gaza.
First there needs a bit of background concerning the two sides of Islam. The Sunni and Shi-ites. When Mohammed died the Shi - ites believe that his son-in-law was the rightful leader, however the Sunnis believe it was the `anointed leader to be in charge. Thus, over many centuries there has been much fighting between the two groups.
In the `8o`s there was the 7 year long war between the two groups. Then in the `90`s the Iraq war with the US and Saddam. Next came al-Qaida, (Sunni) terrorist group bringing terror across the region – Iraq, Afghanistan, North Africa etc.
During that time some Sunni militants tricked about a 100 Shi - ite young men into going to a certain place, but there they were killed and their bodies thrown into the river below. Horrifying. The Shi - ites would not forget this atrocity.
So, now we have a Sunni led (Hamas) group venturing out of their enclave to attack innocent women and children. Iran is supposed to have instigated this. Iran is Shi - ite, and to my mind they have sacrificed the Sunni (Hamas) to Israel`s wrath and while Israel`s military is busy down south they will attack from the north. Thus, Ez. 38 & 39.
In chess you often sacrifice a lesser piece for a greater advantage.
What do you think?
