What would the Middle East look like if the ayatollah regime in Iran fell – and what would happen if Israel and Iran became partners?
Purim 2026 is not just another holiday under fire. It is a stark reminder that even in an age of precision missiles and suicide drones, there is one thing that is very difficult to intercept – a national will to continue living.
And in the Middle East of 2026, it is a strategic weapon no less important than any air defense system.
Perhaps this will be one of the great ironies of history: the empire that liberated the Jews – will find itself, thousands of years later, moving toward freedom because of those same Jews.

The Book of Esther is not just a story about a distant past, it is a reminder that dangerous rhetoric can become policy, and that policy can become reality.
And it came to pass in those days, when the threats from Tehran increased and the danger drew near to the limit of my endurance, and Israel resolved that she would no longer die. And she said in her heart: If I am not for myself – who is for me, and if I am for myself – what am I?
And thus will stand this one against this one the heirs of ancient Persia and the newly established Jewish state; no more tale of royal court and feasting, for if from the dust of might, knowledge and fear, no more a book sealed with feasting and joy, but an open chapter that is still being written.
Purim, the holiday when everything turns upside down, is perhaps the most appropriate moment to remind empires drunk on themselves: You too – in the end – are just a costume
When it comes to Trump, the question is never “if”.
Only “how will it look on TV”.
Islam is both a religion and a political-legal ideology. Not all Muslims are violent, not all Islam is violent – but at the textual and historical core of Islam there is a sovereign aspiration, not just a spiritual one.
