In an opinion article published on July 31, 2026, author Dr. Marwan Abu Ras compares the First and Second World Wars with the ongoing war on Gaza, arguing that the Gaza war is the real "First World War" because of the broad international coalition supporting Israel against the Palestinians. The author notes that the First World War lasted four years (1914-1918) and killed over 20 million people, while the Second lasted six years (1939-1945) and involved over 100 million people. He strongly criticizes Arab and Islamic countries for their inaction and lack of support for Gaza, saying they have criminalized calls for jihad and consider participating in large marches a major sin. He also attacks the International Criminal Court, claiming it was threatened and overthrown because of its ruling against the "criminal." The article concludes by affirming that the Palestinian people will remain and that the nation will rise and liberate its holy sites, God willing. The article reflects a clear inciting and ideological discourse, using emotional language and exaggerations.
