Yeah I agree it’s more of a prophecy but some crazy people will go as far as trying to self-fulfill it. Most people don’t think they would be alive during these events. Otherwise Judaism and its followers are deemed “People of the Book” who have also found the truth like Muslims. At the same time, Islamic history is rife with conflicts with neighboring Jewish tribes. Everyone aside from Muslim followers themselves were opposed to the rise of Islam, including the Jewish tribe of Nani Quryda (and honestly they have a point, Muhammed was out to start a group that would be a new player in the region).

For Hamas, it’s a convenient piece of text that fits their own plight and narrative, but I think almost no one is seriously thinking that Israel is part of this end time prophecy. Israeli propaganda tries to show Hamas as a genocidal group, when the truth we may not like is that they are a resistance group, with questionable strategies and fairly so as with many other resistence group, and their ultimate goal is the liberation of their own country and not a Jewish genocide. If they are willing to hold fair elections in a Palestinian state after this, whatever it may be, then their goals end there. I’m Palestinian and I’m telling you that any attempt by Hamas to displace Israelis who have lived in Palestine for decades would be opposed by me and many others. Never again really means never again. The solution is justice in a fair state for all.
