Tehran, PURWILAYAH.COM - For more than seventy years, the Zionist project has followed a consistent and destructive strategy. At its core lies a recurring cycle: deception, violence, and retreat—only to return once again to deception.
The process often begins with trickery and manipulation—through promises, political manoeuvring, and psychological tactics—creating a foothold in a given situation. Once this position is secured, the second stage unfolds: pressure and violence. Through aggression, killings, and systematic use of force, Zionists expand their control as far as possible.
However, when serious confrontation arises—whether in the form of political resistance or military opposition—they pause. This pause does not represent the end of their campaign but rather a temporary adjustment. The strategy then shifts back to deception and trickery in order to advance further. Once new ground is gained, the cycle of pressure and violence resumes.
This method has been repeated since the mid-20th century, from the mass displacement of Palestinians in 1948 to successive wars, occupations, and continuing acts of aggression. Despite shifts in tactics, the underlying strategy has remained unchanged.
Today, the same pattern is visible in the ongoing war on Gaza and rising tensions in Lebanon, where observers point to a familiar sequence of false promises, temporary pauses, and renewed assaults.
The historical record suggests that Zionism has thrived on alternating between negotiation cloaked in deceit and brutality enforced by force. Breaking this cycle, analysts argue, requires steadfast resistance—both political and military—alongside international recognition of the systematic nature of this strategy. (PW)
