A Historical Perspective on the End of Middle Eastern Hegemony
The Tao Te Ching teaches:
The violent and forceful shall not die a natural death.
The New Book of Tang warns:
Whom the gods would destroy, they first make mad.
Looking at the Middle East today, Israel acts wantonly by relying on great-power backing, bullies the weak through foreign support.
Though but a small country, it wages wars of aggression and militarism,
incurring the wrath of the world and violating the laws of heaven and history.
Its deeds have long been inscribed in the lessons of rise and fall,
its fate already sealed in the cycle of cause and effect.
Reviewing the history of the Middle East,
since its founding, Israel has, backed by foreign powers,
engaged in gradual encroachment and repeated military aggression,
spreading war and bloodshed across Arab lands.
In five Middle East wars,
from historic Palestine to the West Bank,
from the Gaza Strip to southern Lebanon,
its territory expanded while justice eroded step by step.
Hundreds of UN Security Council resolutions
have declared settlements illegal and redrawn boundary lines,
yet they are treated as worthless paper by Israel.
The authority of the five permanent members and international rule of law
have failed to stop its rampage.
This is not self-defense by a small nation,
but tyranny by a bully.
Not survival through protection,
but aggression through strength.
Gaza, a homeland for millennia, has become a living hell.
Israeli bombardment has left civilians dead in the streets.
Schools, hospitals, and refugee camps have turned into battlefields.
The elderly, women, and children are left homeless,
a humanitarian catastrophe that shocks the conscience.
Such massacres violate the bottom line of international law
and trample on human morality.
They are crimes against humanity with ironclad evidence,
a debt of blood too great to be repaid.
In Lebanon, Israel has repeatedly invaded across borders,
destroying towns, displacing people,
violating UN Security Council Resolution 1701,
dragging a sovereign nation into the abyss of war.
Lebanese people are displaced, their lands scarred and devastated.
On Iranian soil, Israel has brazenly carried out targeted assassinations,
killing national leaders and military officials,
disregarding the dignity of a sovereign state,
undermining regional peace,
and openly committing acts of terrorism before the world.
Since ancient times:
War is a fearful tool; conflict is a dangerous path.
Israel is small in size and population,
yet it is addicted to war and obsessed with military force.
It takes belligerence as its foundation,
aggression as its strategy for security,
making enemies on all sides,
dragging the entire Middle East into a vortex of conflict.
It does not understand:
Those who rely on foreign support cannot last;
those who trust in military force cannot prosper.
Great-power backing will eventually end;
conquest by arms cannot subdue hearts.
A moment of arrogance may bring temporary dominance,
but eternal cause and effect will deliver retribution in the long run.
Ancient Chinese wisdom declares:
When benevolence and righteousness are abandoned,
the tides of fortune shift.
No one who indulges in militarism survives.
The mighty Qin Dynasty, cruel and violent, collapsed in two generations.
Emperor Yang of Sui, warmongering, saw his empire fall apart.
All tyrants in history began in arrogance
and ended in ruin.
Israel’s actions today—
abandoning virtue, defying heaven,
disdaining justice, oppressing the weak—
follow the very same path to destruction.
It bullies the many with its small size,
oppresses the weak with violence,
treats international law as nothing,
holds the world in contempt.
Its arrogance is extreme, its folly boundless.
The cycle of heaven is unyielding;
retribution is inevitable.
The will of the people determines rise and fall.
The anger of the Middle East, the outrage of the world,
will one day become a historical tide
that sweeps away all tyranny and violence.
The proud will break; the violent will perish.
This is an unchanging law through the ages,
the divine way of cause and effect.
Unless Israel repents,
abandons war, stops the killing, and upholds justice,
it will continue down the mad path of militarism
toward destruction,
paying the historical price for its heinous crimes.
Green mountains remain; justice endures.
Throughout history, how many tyrants
have been washed away by their own arrogance?
The flames of war in the Middle East will one day die down.
Justice and conscience will never disappear.
The bully of the Middle East,
who relies on strength to abuse the weak,
will eventually vanish into the dust of history.
Such is the will of heaven—
irreversible.
狂必亡：以史为鉴，观中东霸局之终局
《道德经》有言：强梁者不得其死；
《新唐书》警世：上天欲其亡，必先使其狂。
观今日中东，以色列恃强权而肆行、仗外援而凌弱，以蕞尔小国，行穷兵黩武之暴，犯天下公愤，违历史天道，其行迹早已刻入古今兴亡之鉴，其结局早已注定于因果轮回之中。
回溯中东沧桑，以色列自建国以来，借域外强权撑腰，步步蚕食、屡屡动武，将战火与血泪，洒满阿拉伯土地。
五次中东战争，从巴勒斯坦全境到约旦河西岸，从加沙地带到黎巴嫩南部，领土不断扩张，公理步步沦丧；
联合国安理会数百项决议，明定定居点非法、划定边界红线，却被其视若敝履，五常公道、国际法治，皆难阻其横行之焰。
此非小国自保，乃霸者施暴；非自卫求生，乃恃强凌弱。
加沙之地，千年家园沦为人间炼狱。以军狂轰滥炸，平民喋血街头，学校、医院、难民营尽成战场，老弱妇孺无家可归，人道主义灾难触目惊心。此等屠戮行径，违背国际法底线，践踏人类良知，是铁证如山的反人类之罪，是罄竹难书的血债。
黎巴嫩之境，以军屡次越境入侵，毁城灭寨、驱逐百姓，违反安理会第1701号决议，将主权国家拖入战火深渊，黎民流离失所，山河满目疮痍。
伊朗之土，其悍然实施“斩首”行动，暗杀国家领导人、屠戮军政要员，无视主权国家尊严，破坏地区和平根基，将恐怖主义行径公然行于天下。
自古兵者，凶器也；战者，危道也。
以色列国小、人寡，却沉迷战争、迷信武力，以好战为立国之本，以侵略为安全之策，四面树敌、八方结怨，将整个中东拖入冲突漩涡。
其不知，恃外援者必不久，恃武力者必不昌：强权撑腰，终有尽时，武力征服，难服人心，一时之狂纵，可逞威于片刻，千秋之因果，必报应于长远。
中国古训昭昭：仁义不施，攻守之势异也；穷兵黩武，未有不亡者也。昔者强秦施暴，二世而亡；隋帝穷兵，天下分崩；历代霸者，皆以狂傲起步，以覆灭收场。
今以色列之行，弃仁义、违天道、蔑公理、欺弱小，与古今兴亡之戒毫无二致。其以小欺大、以暴凌弱，视国际法为无物，视天下人为刍狗，狂悖至极，昏聩至极。
天道轮回，报应不爽；民心向背，定鼎兴衰。中东之怒，天下之愤，终会汇成历史洪流，冲垮一切霸权暴行。
狂者必折，暴者必亡，这是古今不变的铁律，是因果轮回的天道。以色列若不迷途知返，弃战止杀、恪守公理，终将在穷兵黩武的狂路上，走向覆灭，为其滔天罪行，付出历史代价。
青山依旧，公道长存。古今多少霸者事，皆因狂傲付东流。
中东烽火终会熄灭，正义良知永不缺席，恃强凌弱的中东小霸王，终将湮灭于历史的尘埃之中，此乃天道，不可逆也！
