Since Israel occupied Palestinian territories and established its state, it has been engaged in uninterrupted wars, sometimes alone, but many with the participation of the United States, Britain, and France, and supported by other Western countries, fueled by money and weapons, backed politically, and exempted from international sanctions for any aggressive actions it commits.

Neighboring countries have found themselves within range of its artillery, missiles, drones, and aircraft; they are attacked, parts of their lands occupied, and Tel Aviv finds understanding and support from external powers, as if it has rights that others do not, and as if Israel is exempt from the application of international laws without explanation.

Israel is an aggressive state, capable of justifying its attacks with false lies and flimsy excuses, claiming it is a small country surrounded by nations that threaten its existence, while it possesses the strongest army and is gifted the most advanced types of weapons, with some countries sharing in its aggression and others acting as a shield to defend it against any accusations or criminal judgments against it.

Israel does not recognize the resolutions issued against it by the United Nations and the Security Council, nor does it recognize any borders like any other state, because recognition would forfeit its ambitions in the lands of its neighbors. It possesses a nuclear reactor threatening the region, yet no one talks about it or demands its inspection, in a global acknowledgment that it falls within Israel's unlimited exceptions.

The Israeli state is approaching eighty years of age, spent in relentless bloody wars. It seeks normalization with Arab states without price or quid pro quo, and without the establishment of a Palestinian state. Normalization with it does not require it to withdraw from occupied Lebanese and Syrian territories, nor does it prevent it from insisting on displacing Palestinians from their lands. That is, it wants land and peace, not peace for land, because its ambitions, agendas, and policies are based on refusing to give up Palestinian lands for their state and refusing to withdraw from Syrian and Lebanese territories, even if that means existential peace for it.

Israel is a rogue and rebellious state. It is time for the world to shoulder its responsibility in liberating the region from the effects of Israeli policies that fuel conflict, put an end to repeated fighting, and keep other countries from being drawn into and participating in Israel's malicious acts.
