Prophecy of the Sword

In 2018, Dr. Michael Ben Ari issued stark warnings about the growing Islamic threat emanating from Gaza’s border. At the time, his statements were widely regarded as controversial and inflammatory, and Israeli authorities charged him with incitement. In the aftermath of October 7, however, Ben Ari’s warnings appear chillingly prophetic – His analysis was not rooted in fear or prejudice, but in his extensive study of the Qur’an, Islamic history, and the writings of influential religious leaders in the Muslim world.

In this book, Dr. Ben Ari examines the origins and development of Islam, the ideological foundations of the Muslim brotherhood, and he outlines its long-term methodology and global ambitions.

Dr. Ben Ari predicted in 2018:

“Gaza is a roadside bomb that is about to explode in our face”

“Whoever dreamed that we could put the Jewish residents in that envelope, and there would be peace and quiet, is either a criminal, or doesn’t know how to read a map … Gaza is a roadside bomb that is about to explode in our face.”

“They want to invade the settlements, Kfar Aza, Nahal Oz, Be'eri, Alumim, Ein Hashlosha, Re’em … The Arabs burn their fields dream of murdering them. … Hamas incites these murderers in Gaza – men, women, children and the disabled − to storm the fences to slaughter them…”

“When they say to me, ‘What do you want, to occupy Gaza?’ … It's not a matter of wanting or not wanting. There is no choice… The entire existence of Gaza is one; its purpose is the elimination of the State of Israel … Unfortunately, retaking Gaza will come at a painful price. But the cost of not taking Gaza will be far more painful. And in the end, we will have to conquer Gaza anyway, at a much more painful price.”
