Should we wait for Israel to bomb our cities?

During the Crusades, from Jerusalem to Antioch, from Palestine to Damascus, the region was fragmented and occupied. Today, they are following the same strategy. The atrocities committed during those invasions are being mirrored today with mass terror and acts of violence. The same tactics of territorial fragmentation are back in play, with the region’s vulnerabilities being exploited as weapons.

**Same History, Geography, and Tactics — Only the Power Changes Hands!**

Just as betrayals and alliances with occupiers occurred across the region during the Crusades, today we see similar treachery and schemes. Just as internal conflicts among local powers gave the invaders space back then, today’s regional discord provides the same opportunities. The united front of European powers during the Crusades, like a single army, is echoed today by the alliance of Europe, the U.S., and Israel, acting almost as one.

History remains the same, geography remains the same, and the tactics are unchanging. Only the power shifts. Western dominance may be reaching its limits, signaling that it may be time for power to change hands again.

**A Saladin in Jerusalem, A Kilij Arslan in Anatolia — The Return of Power is Inevitable!**

As Kilij Arslan rose in Anatolia and Saladin emerged in Jerusalem during the Crusades, now could be the moment for new leaders of this region to emerge and reclaim power. With Western global power weakening, we look forward to experiencing our own “Spring” of resurgence. This moment is unavoidable, and we will see it through.

To summarize: Over the last millennium, the region has faced three devastating shocks: the Crusades, the Mongol invasions, and World War I. Each was ruinous. After the first two, the Seljuks and Ottomans emerged as new powers. We’re now in the initial phase of rebuilding after the third great shock of World War I, potentially into an even greater power. Note that the first two major rises originated from Anatolia; we’re witnessing the beginning of the third from the same place. This is not wishful thinking—it’s what the current reshaping of global power tells us.

**A New Era of Strong Leaders?**

The world has entered an era of strong leaders. The slowness of bureaucratic institutions simply can’t keep pace with the urgent demands of our time. Nations led by quick, decisive leadership will shape the 21st century. This is why history may mark today as the “Era of Erdoğan, Putin, and Trump” and why we may soon witness extraordinary developments.

**They’re Bringing the Strategy of Fragmentation to Türkiye – Stay Alert!**

Just as the region was fragmented during the Crusades and after World War I, today, the same strategy is being attempted again. But now, there is a quiet move to bring this fragmentation within Türkiye’s borders. While Israel strikes at our doorstep and exercises every form of mass terror, while maps across multiple nations are being redrawn, Türkiye cannot afford to wait for further warning signs. Apathy would be blindness to history, geography, and the stakes at hand.

There is no choice for Türkiye but to activate its historic and strategic strengths, countering threats and territorial ambitions posed through Syria and Iraq.

**The 'Türkiye Axis' Must Call on All Supporters!**

Time is running out for decisive, lasting action. Even if it comes at great cost, this must be done, or we risk losing the momentum of the “Third Great Rise” in Anatolia. The People’s Alliance is Türkiye’s bond, its guiding principle. Should it fracture, there will be no political alternative capable of holding Türkiye together. Türkiye’s journey must be supported by all who believe in its future, from every segment of society.

**Setting Traps Within – Beware of the Plotters**

Those aiming to dismantle this alliance are already laying their plans and making progress. While we focus on supporting operations in Syria’s north, let’s not ignore the potential traps disguised as “well-intentioned proposals” from within.

**Swift and Urgent Action Needed — They’re Advancing Towards Us**

The invasions of Iraq and the war in Syria reveal everything. These were only the first phase of a much larger plan, which they now aim to advance through subversion from within. They are preparing to target us—the state with the legacy of empires.

Türkiye, with its profound political heritage, must not fall into this trap. As a sovereign nation, it cannot allow the plans hatched at our borders to spread inside, especially through hidden partnerships that aim to weaken us from within.

**An Unwavering Right to Act**

As Türkiye strengthens its alliances, those urging us to overlook threats at our own borders are equally dangerous. The time for “extraordinary decisions” and “decisive actions” is now, and hesitation would be self-destructive. Allowing the tactics of the Crusades to enter Türkiye unchecked would be a grave miscalculation.

This is no longer a matter of counter-terrorism but of legitimate defense. Türkiye must act, even if the world disapproves.

**Should We Wait for Israel to Bomb Our Cities?**

As Israel strikes near our borders, as the entire Western alliance seeks to break apart the region, what other warning do we need? Are we supposed to wait for missiles to strike our cities? The time for action is now.

We’re in the “Age of Extremes” — if we can’t see the storms brewing on the horizon, we’re ignoring the clear signs of history. Everything is in plain sight for those who understand the past of this land and grasp the stakes of today.
