Maxim Fisher in WV Executive: "The Political Dynamics of War: A Journey through Israel"
WVFFC Ambassador and Advisor on Israel Maxim Fisher was recently featured in WV Executive Magazine discussing the political dynamics of the ongoing war in Israel and his recent trip to the area.
Excerpt:
“Americans need to understand the following: This war is not about land. It is not about gaining resources. It is not about the delineation of borders. Israel is not occupying Gaza. Israel left in 2005. Gaza gets billions of dollars from the international community, including the U.S. Hamas chooses to use that money for rockets, building military installations under hospitals and UNRWA schools and making sure their leadership, living in the safety of Qatar, is worth billions of dollars. Jews, however, did live in Iraq, Yemen, Syria and many other Arab lands and were forced to leave in large numbers in 1948 during Israel’s war of independence.
Israelis are not involved in a genocide of the Arab people, as the Arab population does nothing but grow in the land of Israel, Judea and Samaria and Gaza. America needs to understand that not once since 1948 has Israel started any of these wars with its Arab neighbors. Everything that it has done has been in reaction to the existential threat against it. Americans should understand, that “from the river to the sea” means the genocide and killing of all Jews in the land of Israel. Evidenced by October 7, that is exactly what these radical Islamists would do if given the chance. I ask all Americans to stand unequivocally with Israel. I ask all Americans to buy Israeli war bonds. I need all Americans to understand that the IDF is not only protecting Israel but our country as well because this war is a clash of civilizations: radical Islam versus western civilization.”

Fisher and Pregent met with 5 IDF units, 2 generals, other officers, 2 Knesset members, members of Israeli Intelligence, wounded IDF warriors, families of the hostages, IDF research and development, Israeli Arab leaders, an Israeli NGO, and others. Furthermore, Fisher and Pregent visited the Lebanese border, the Jordanian border, and witnessed the West Bank as well.
