A few days ago, the Israeli Minister of War came out claiming they had discovered documents in a tunnel in Gaza. According to them, the Green Movement had requested $500 million from Iran over two years. The text of the document allegedly stated that with this amount, they would change the region’s situation and end this dark era in our nation’s history!
Iran responded by promising assistance but admitted it couldn’t commit to a fixed monthly amount due to its weak economic situation.
As far as I know, the Green Movement has not denied the document’s authenticity at the time of writing this—though this doesn’t necessarily confirm its accuracy. But what concerns me now goes beyond whether the document is real or not.
If we assume the document is real, it means the Green Movement estimated that the price of a major, decisive battle is $500 million.
If we assume it’s fake, and that it’s an Israeli attempt to frame Iran—say, to pin the October 7th attack on them—then this still means the Israeli mind, pretending to think like the Green Movement and its leadership, and mimicking Iran’s response, also estimated that a decisive battle would cost $500 million!
And this is what matters to me now—this $500 million!!
If an experienced movement—or those pretending to think like it—believes that wiping out Israel and ending its era only requires $500 million, pumped into this movement’s efforts… then this, in reality, tells you what a disaster we’re in right now!!
What does this mean?
First and foremost, it means removing this entity is not difficult, not impossible, and not even expensive! $500 million is nothing compared to the budgets of Arab nations. In fact, a few businessmen could easily gather this amount!
It would be laughable to remember that Neymar’s transfer to Saudi Al-Hilal cost $100 million—meaning five players like Neymar could liberate Palestine!!!
It would also be funny to recall that the cost of building Egypt’s new "Monorail" for the Administrative Capital is $4.5 billion—nine times the amount needed to free Palestine!!
And I don’t think you’ll laugh out of bitterness—but rather because "the worst of calamities is that which makes you laugh"—when you remember how Trump took, in one deal from one country, a thousand times this amount ($500 billion)!!
The burning question here is: If these rulers spend such vast sums to protect their thrones, commit endless betrayals just to keep power in their bloodline… then even by pure materialistic logic, spending this money on the Green Movement and similar groups would be cheaper, more effective, and strengthen their global standing!!
Have you ever seen people whom geography and history blessed with martyrdom-ready allies like the Green Movement and its brothers—forces capable of removing an existential threat to the entire region—only for them to turn away, break ALLAH’s covenant and their people’s trust, then betray it all by going to the enemy itself, begging with many times this money just to keep their thrones?!
Let’s leave aside the calculations of faith and the Hereafter for now—let’s just talk purely worldly, pragmatic politics.
Suppose the Green Movement’s estimate—or the estimate of those pretending to think like it—was wrong, and the real cost was $1 billion, or two, or even ten…
How many billions are spent on palaces, entertainment, films, plays, car races, football, singing, rare jewelry, horse and falcon breeds, perfumes, ambergris, camphor… and all sorts of unnecessary luxuries?!
So which is more beneficial, more sensible, and the better path?
To spend a billion or two—or even ten—to build a strong, martyrdom-ready ally that shields you from harm and boosts your power, influence, and prestige?
Or to spend trillions, yet still fail to avoid humiliating public insults from some orange-faced brute—like "I protect his backside" or "Where’s my favorite dictator?"!!
