Why is Israel Afraid of Shia Muslims?

The question of Israel's fear of Shia Muslims is not merely a matter of political rivalry, but one deeply rooted in history, theology, and the geopolitics of the modern Middle East. This book is an attempt to present a balanced yet thought-provoking exploration of why the Jewish state, despite its advanced military, nuclear arsenal, and global alliances, views Shia Islam with a unique sense of unease.

The work you are about to read is not intended as propaganda, nor as a one-sided polemic. Instead, it seeks to trace historical connections, religious narratives, and political realities that explain the complex relationship between Judaism, Israel, and Shia Islam. From the origins of Israel and the Jewish diaspora to the significance of Jerusalem, from the rise of Shia communities across the world to the prophecies surrounding Imam Mahdi and the Antichrist, this book aims to provide clarity on a subject often clouded by ideology and emotion.

I have chosen to write in plain yet scholarly English, so that both the lay reader and the academic mind may find insight. Each chapter builds upon the previous, gradually unveiling why the Shia worldview, particularly its eschatological expectations, poses such a challenge to Israel and its long-term survival strategy.

It is my hope that this book will serve as a meaningful contribution to the global discourse on religion, politics, and the destiny of nations.
