Startup founders have a 10% chance of success which is a lot better than 0%.

The only way to fail for sure is to never try. You’ll never know what’s possible if you don’t start.

Even if you don’t make it, you’ll learn more than you ever would by sitting on the sidelines.

So please bet on yourself and go for it.

What Donald Trump has achieved by publicly stating his Gaza plan last week is an absolute master stroke of genius. For a century the Arabs have tormented lie after lie after lie. And I don’t just mean the Arabs in Gaza or the British Mandate of Palestine. I mean the entire Arab world.

I’ve said it several times and I’ll say it again… the Great Arab uprising of 1916 was all about Arab nationalism. It was an ideology that spanned the entire Arab world and it was led by the Hashemite family who themselves were from what is now Saudi Arabia. The entire premise of their ideology was unite the entire Arab world into a single unified state with Hashemite rulers in different provinces. Greater Syria was to be one such province with its capital in Damascus. But one thing stood in their way - Israel and the Jewish people.

For centuries they’ve tried to massacre us to small numbers and subjugate the few that remained. But as a people we were strong and we fought back. And when the entire Arab world attacked in 1948 using the not-yet-created Palestinian people as a cause, they believed the time had come to wipe us out. But we won.

So humiliated and licking their wounds, the Arab world invented the Nakba. And they themselves have stated that it was a manufactured story. And then in 1967 with the help of the Soviet Union the Arab world prepared to try again and Israel won in just 6 days. The humiliation was immense and the fact that little Israel then liberated Jerusalem and annexed land was the height of embarrassment for the Arabs.

So they regrouped, and with the full support and might of the Soviets they waged the ultimate genocidal war in 1973 and truthfully they almost won. But in the 11th hour the United States came in after a year of refusing to help us with arms and sent fresh supplies of weapons that turned the war and we defeated the entire Arab world, again. But just before we dealt the killer blow to Egypt, the soviets asked the US to stop us from totally humiliating the Arabs and Egypt and call for a truce. And we agreed. Soon after, Israel had peace with Egypt and then later with Jordan.

But the ambition and desire to wipe us out has never ever died. The entire arab world continued in its cause for a unified Arab “caliphate” and have used the “Palestinian” cause ever since with the help of the UN. Time and again the Arab world supported and funded various terrorist groups either directly or through the UN in their drive to destroy Israel. But politically they have done so mostly behind the scenes. And this is why there are more UN resolutions against Israel than the rest of the UN member states combined. Just think of the crimes against humanity committed by Iran and Afghanistan and Assad and North Korea and so many others, yet Israel has more resolutions against it than all of them combined.

Just this week, after 16 months of standing with the Gazans and condemning us for a plethora of fake genocides and famine and forcing us to send aid to our attackers who took 250 hostages, the UN have now cut off all aid to Yemen because the Houthis kidnapped just 8 UN members. The hypocrisy is so blatant and yet no outrage or protests.

And with that single announcement last week, Trump has masterfully exposed the head of the snake. It isn’t Iran or Qatar or Syria or Hamas. It’s the entire Arab Muslim world. It’s Islam. It’s the Saudis and Iraq and Syria and Lebanon and Jordan and Egypt and Turkey and all of them. Islam is the head of the snake. Their masks are now off. Their original plan from 100 years ago is now finally out in the open and very much alive and well. They’ve never given it up. Everything has been a deception.

And now the world will know. The truth will finally all come out and the snake will be exposed for what it is and its heads all over the world will be seen. And what is coming will be a war of enormous scale. This is what the Arab world wanted. And again, like every time before it, they will fall.
