In Gaza, Israel is experiencing complete depletion in the eyes of the entire world with its genocide and all sorts of crimes against humanity. Using Hamas's October 7 attacks as a pretext for this barabrity convinces no one. No characterization of Hamas as a monster can justify Israel’s ruthless slaughter of nearly 50,000 people, including children, elderly, civilians, women, journalists, healthcare personnel, and clerics. On the other hand, with its ongoing brutality for the past six months, Israel

In Gaza, Israel is experiencing complete depletion in the eyes of the entire world with its genocide and all sorts of crimes against humanity. Using Hamas's October 7 attacks as a pretext for this barabrity convinces no one. No characterization of Hamas as a monster can justify Israel’s ruthless slaughter of nearly 50,000 people, including children, elderly, civilians, women, journalists, healthcare personnel, and clerics.


On the other hand, with its ongoing brutality for the past six months, Israel has exhausted the entire existential excuse ground it built through Holocaust literature. Moreover, by persisting in its savage attacks on Gaza, Israel is nourishing the legitimacy and righteousness of Hamas, fostering worldwide sympathy towards Hamas and Islam.


In fact, not only towards Hamas but also towards the narrative framework that Israel, the US, and Europe have been trying to establish in the Middle East regarding Islam and terrorism for centuries, we have reached a point where it has been exhausted. Since October 7, the violence, terrorism, brutality, and civilized barbarism of Israel and the West have been drawing more attention, filling more story content. Conversely, against the backdrop of the thoroughly justified and sympathetic resistance presented by Hamas, the narrative of “Islamist terrorism” and the narrative of Islam and violence that have served Western imperialism as excuses have both been exhausted.


At this point, the entrance scene of the savage terrorist attack that took place last week at Crocus City, one of Moscow's important entertainment centers, appeared quite strange. The fact that this attack, which was announced to have received intelligence from the US some time ago, was claimed by Daesh actually provides all the data that leaves no question about who did what and why. Of course, there is an open application to the exhausted "Islamic terrorism" capital through Daesh. The oddity is that anyone is left who doesn't know or recognize Daesh anymore? By putting forward this completely exposed relationship and identity, whose and what for could be the goal of presenting this card?


Remember when the US, which entered Syria through the path opened by an international coalition, suddenly decided that fighting a terrorist organization called Daesh was a priority rather than Assad, which was not planned? Until today, it couldn't handle Daesh, but thanks to it, it settled in Syria. The account was quite clear actually. The departure of Assad and the takeover of the Syrian people's government constituted a security risk for Israel. When Daesh began to be redundant in Syria, the US airlifted members of Daesh's Khorasan branch to Afghanistan with its own planes. Of course, the role assigned to Daesh there would be to fight against the Taliban, which is actually the real enemy of the US. Daesh members are still waiting for an opportunity in Afghanistan to destroy the stability and security environment created through terrorist activities. But the Taliban is a tougher nut to crack than they thought.


There are countless data that leave no room for doubt about the Daesh-US relationship. In Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria... Despite this, the US is calculating who will believe in what by presenting this exposed card in Moscow? There may be dimensions related to Ukraine, but what can be gained from this? Or, there may be a functionality in the policies to be pursued against Islamic countries in the Middle East. The leaders of Islamic countries love the lies of the US more than their own truths. Operations of demonization extended from Daesh brutality to democratic moderate Islamic movements please the rulers of the Arab world. Thus, they maintain and strengthen their despotic positions against their opponents. It doesn't even matter if the US or Israel is really behind Daesh anymore. They consider any story fabricated by the US to be the basis of their existence.


But this time, Putin is the target of the story told through Daesh in Moscow. From the very beginning, he's someone who could not miss the triggers and the real goals of the event. Saying that he noticed how Ankara's ambassador was tried to be manipulated with the killing of the ambassador and what was intended with this action very well, Putin also saw where he was being manipulated in this incident.


Trying to hit Moscow with the story of “Islamist terrorism” these days distracts attention from Israel, which has been committing crimes against humanity in broad daylight for six months, from all the terrorism, violence, brutality, and barbarism labels. Like in all previous scenes, Daesh enters here too with a "useful" or "thought to be useful" role for both the US and Israel.


Of course, it's not useful. Even the staged brutality shows of Daesh cannot overshadow Israel's real savagery anymore. On the contrary, Daesh's brutality is also charged to Israel through the US.
