The world is at war. But this war isn't seen on television. High politics doesn't fight with the public. The Muslim Brotherhood and the global political left are facing the Jewish State and Jewish world. All are facing an existential war. Inevitably there will be winners and losers, and the latter will be wiped off the map. Only God knows the future, but there is a difference between the contenders. The former have never experienced an existential war. The latter have never known any other reality in millennia.
"Red-Green alliance"
The alliance between the radical political left and radical Islamism – often referred to as the "Red-Green alliance" or "Islamo-leftism" – is a denounced, paradoxical coalition of convenience where secular, far-left political actors and religious Islamist movements collaborate against shared targets: Western institutions, capitalism, and liberal democracy. While ideologically disparate – one aiming for secular socialist utopia and the other for religious sharia governance –, the "Common Front" is united by a shared animosity toward Western foreign policy, capitalism, and globalization, which both sides view as oppressive. Islamists often co-opt leftist progressive causes (e.g., social justice, anti-racism) to mainstream themselves, while the far left uses Islamists to mobilize for social unrest against the "liberal order". Leftist activists frequently embrace anti-colonial and "oppressed" narratives, labeling radical Islamists as victims of Western intervention, thereby providing them political cover. Both groups exploit identity politics to fracture Western societies along racial or religious lines, creating a unified protest front in academia and street protests.
A key component is the aggressive, shared campaigns against Israel and the Jewish world. Anti-Jewish sentiment has never been so global. The articulation between International Socialism and the Muslim Brotherhood is thriving. All the evil on Earth, all the "exploitation" of man by man, all of this is imputed to the traditional Jew and to Judaism. Judeo-Christian axiology has never lived through such dark days. Only in the USSR was something similar seen, but then it was concentrated in the territory of the homeland of socialism, not on the European continent and, in general, in the Collective West.
The Muslim Brotherhood, as an extremist transnational political organization, is pleased to continue sponsoring the philosophies most appropriate for the destruction of Western societies from within and the elimination of everything that is Judeo-Christian, already replaced everywhere by a kind of sexual communism. These are societies shaped by slogans such as "LGBT" and "Free Palestine".
While the Brotherhood promotes and sponsors terrorism against the Jewish world and the conquest of Western societies through the wombs of Muslim women, the men of the political left vegetate as corrupt individuals, consciously destroying the very civilization they should serve, rejecting their national history, clamoring for the lowest morality, confusing what is a man and what is a woman, and importing millions of radical and uprooted Muslims from Latin America who join groups with political leftist acronyms, and sponsored by Lebanon, such as the "PCC" and the "Comando Vermelho" (Red Command).
Multitudes of undesirable outsiders are presented with access to the ballot box and social welfare programs. In this context, Jewish life is worth zero. Jewish success, Jewish culture, Jewish religion, Jewish history, productive Jews, real Jewish life, laws benefiting Jews, and the Jewish state are permanently dishonored and vilified. Jews have long ceased to matter, except as useful fools.
When, in 2012, romantic patriots from the Portuguese Institute for Democracy asked parliament to pass a law allowing the granting of nationality to descendants of Portuguese Jews, no one thought that this legal regime would attract more than a few London Jews sitting at a table and speaking Portuguese. When the mistake was realized, then a no-holds-barred war began. All means were used, as a "Palestinian question" had to entail the elimination of the hated law. Jews, the Portuguese elites didn't want them. Israelis, they didn't want them. Wealthy Jews, they didn't want them. Vigorous Judaism, they didn't want it. Synagogues full of worshippers, they didn't want it. A truly strong national Jewish community, they didn't want it. Outstanding Jewish leaders, they didn't want them either. In fact, they didn't want anything that the Jewish people represent, individually or collectively.
Israel: state and people
All the great empires known in the last 3500 years have tried to subdue the Jews. These empires fell, died, while the small people survived. When in Persia the wicked Haman planned to decimate the people of Israel, there were those who warned him that through God's intervention he would not succeed. Haman and his ten sons all ended up hanged on the same rope he had prepared for Mordechai.
In 1948, when the state of Israel was founded, it was immediately under attack by multiple surrounding Arab nations: Egypt, Syria, Transjordan (now Jordan), Lebanon, and Iraq. Even Saudi Arabia sent a contingent that fought under Egyptian command. The objective was to prevent the establishment of the state, marking the start of Israel's War of Independence). Those armies launched a simultaneous offensive on all fronts: Egypt attacked from the south, Syria and Lebanon from the north, and Transjordan and Iraq from the east.
Today, Israeli strategists increasingly identify a "hostile Sunni axis" consisting of Turkey, Qatar, and Pakistan, which is "nourishing the Islamic Brotherhood monster" to counterbalance Iran and challenge Israel’s regional standing. The phrase is a direct quote from former Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett (Feb 2026), used to describe the actions of Turkey, Qatar and Pakistan in supporting the Muslim Brotherhood and its affiliates in the region, such as Hamas and Hezbollah.
Pakistan
Possessing approximately 300 nuclear warheads, Pakistan is a priority issue for Israel. The relationship between the Muslim Brotherhood and Pakistan is rooted in ideological affinity. The Muslim Brotherhood provided the intellectual framework for Jamaat-e-Islami which actively operates in Pakistan's sociopolitical and educational sectors. Both aim to establish an Islamic state, promote Islamization, and operate influential welfare, educational, and political networks.
Jamaat-e-Islami, under founders like Abul A'la Maududi, shared close intellectual ties with the Brotherhood's founder, Hassan al-Banna. Both movements focused on Islamizing society from the top down and bottom up. Taken together, this "concertina effect" fulfilled its objectives of ideologizing society. Besides, modern Pakistani Islamists have been heavily influenced by the political success of Turkey's AKP, another group with roots in the broader Muslim Brotherhood ideological family.
Turkey
Turkey possesses a top-10 ranked global military (9th in 2026), with roughly 600,000 active personnel and significant defense production in terms of missiles, armor, navy, drones, and recent combat experience in Syria and the Caucasus. Turkey's Justice and Development Party (AKP) has ideological and historical roots in the broader tradition of political Islam, which includes movements similar to the Muslim Brotherhood, though it has historically framed itself differently. The party emerged from Turkey's "National Outlook" (Milli Görüş) movement, which shared ideological kinship with the Muslim Brotherhood (MB), aiming to align Turkey with the wider Muslim world.
Israeli intelligence describes Turkey under President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan as a "sophisticated and dangerous" rival. Israel perceives Turkey as using the Muslim Brotherhood ideology to encircle Israel, support Hamas, and create a foothold in the Mediterranean, East Jerusalem, and Syria. Turkey hosting senior Hamas officials and facilitating the group's operations is a top concern for Israeli security services.
Qatar
Israel views the role of the Muslim Brotherhood in Qatar as a significant security threat, primarily because Qatar serves as a key financial, political, and ideological hub for the movement and its affiliated groups, most notably Hamas. Indeed, Qatar has hosted the political leadership of Hamas for over a decade. In addition, the ideological connection between the Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas is a point of concern for Israeli security analysts. Qatar's historical support for various Brotherhood-aligned figures is often viewed as providing an ideological platform for groups hostile to Israel. While Qatari financial aid has been directed toward humanitarian needs and infrastructure in Gaza, there have been long-standing concerns regarding the potential for funds to be diverted to militant activities. Despite these tensions, Qatar's role as a mediator—often in coordination with the United States—creates a complex relationship. This involves diplomatic engagement for hostage negotiations and ceasefires, even as disagreements persist over Qatar's relationship with the Muslim Brotherhood and its affiliates.
Iran
Israel views the intersection of the Muslim Brotherhood and Iran as a significant, systemic security threat. While they stem from different Islamic traditions—the Brotherhood is Sunni and Iran is Shia—Israel perceives them as forming an opportunistic "radical axis" designed to destabilize the region and threaten the Jewish state. Recent developments in 2025–2026 have intensified these concerns. Despite sectarian differences, the Muslim Brotherhood has pledged support to Iran against Israeli actions, with Brotherhood leaders calling Iran a partner in resisting "Zionist-American hegemony". The Muslim Brotherhood provides a "Sunni cover" for Iranian, Shiite-led activities against Israel, enhancing the ability of both to operate against Israeli interests, especially as the Brotherhood seeks to regain influence across the Middle East.
In February 2026, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu highlighted the creation of a new regional alliance specifically designed to counter a joint axis of Iran and the Muslim Brotherhood. In the meantime, Israel and the U.S. have moved toward designating parts of the Muslim Brotherhood as terrorist entities, viewing them as providing ideological and logistical enabling to Iran-backed violent activities.
Lebanon
The connection between Lebanon and the Muslim Brotherhood is primarily through al-Jamaa al-Islamiyah, an official Lebanese branch of the Muslim Brotherhood. It operates as a political, social, and recently, an armed actor allied with Hezbollah and Hamas.
Formed by members of 'Ibad al-Rahman (Worshipers of the Merciful) in the 1950s/60s, the group is designed to mirror the doctrines of the main Muslim Brotherhood movement. Though Sunni, the Lebanese branch has formed a strategic alliance with the Shi'a militant group Hezbollah. During the 2023-2024 conflict, the group's armed wing, the "Fajr Forces," collaborated with Hezbollah and Hamas to launch rocket attacks into Israel, marking a pivot toward a more aggressive, militant stance. The group also maintains influence through a network of social, educational, and health institutions.
As of January 2026, the US government has designated the Lebanese Muslim Brotherhood (al-Jamaa al-Islamiyah) as a Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO) and Specially Designated Global Terrorists (SDGT), alleging its involvement in regional violence.
Palestine
Hamas is part of the broader Muslim Brotherhood ecosystem, which is behind radicalization and terror attacks. It is also Iran's primary proxy in Gaza. Israel sees Hamas as the direct manifestation of this alliance, which executed the October 7, 2023, attacks. While in Europe, enthusiastic crowds shout "Free Palestine" thinking of the suffering children, behind the scenes of politics "Free Palestine" thinks of the interests of the Muslim Brotherhood. And while Israel resists, Europe is being invaded by millions of servants of the Brotherhood who will one day prove to be at its service.
The State of Palestine does not exist in real terms because it does not meet the minimum requirements that doctrinally define what a State is. What exists is a Hamas State, where only the laws of the terrorist movement, affiliated with the Muslim Brotherhood, are valid. One of the places where the laws of the "Hamas State" are valid is at the headquarters of the recently inaugurated "Palestinian embassy" in Lisbon.
In the meantime
Israel monitors the alliances created by the Muslim Brotherhood in many countries at the same time as a significant, long-term security threat not only for the Jewish state but also for the Jewish people worldwide.
