Israel’s Support of Genocide

A friendship is blossoming in the Middle East. Though only a few years old, it is changing the way analysts see the balance of power in this volatile region.

This growing alliance is between Israel and the United Arab Emirates.

Though the two normalized relations when the U.A.E. joined the Abraham Accords in 2020, things really picked up since the Oct. 7, 2023, attack on Israel. Weeks after that massacre, the Houthis, Iran’s Yemeni terrorist proxy, began targeting Israeli shipping in the Red Sea. In addition to hurting Israel, the attacks disrupted the U.A.E.’s ability to export.

In response, the Israel and the U.A.E. began working together. Specifically, they began sharing intelligence in a program code-named “Crystal Ball” and investing each other’s defense industry.

The strength of this new alliance is becoming more apparent as time goes on. In September, when Israel struck Hamas leadership in Qatar, the entire Middle East was infuriated. While the U.A.E. expressed frustration with Israel’s move, their relationship continued to strengthen. The following months saw reports of Israel using an Emirati base in Yemen and the signing of a multi-billion-dollar defense deal to produce aircraft-mounted laser technology. Neighboring nations’ growing wariness of these actions is also bringing the two closer.

The cherry on top is the U.A.E.’s support in the current war against Iran. Not only did the U.A.E. carry out dozens of air strikes against Iran, but it is working alongside Israel to combat Iran’s attempt to control the Red Sea. In fact, the U.A.E. and Israel are seen as the leaders of a growing power bloc in the Middle East and northern Africa.

The U.A.E. has shown itself a valuable military ally in a world where Israel is losing friends.

However, by supporting the U.A.E., Israel is turning a blind eye to and indirectly backing one of the worst genocides in recent history.

One Week: Over 67,000 Dead?

WarFronts described the October rampage against El Fasher, Sudan, as “one of the largest massacres in human history.” About a week after the city’s fall, Nathaniel Raymond, executive director of Yale’s Humanitarian Research Lab said, “More people could have died in the past week in El Fasher … than died in the past two years in Gaza.”

If that’s true, it would mean the Sudanese paramilitary responsible for the killing—the Rapid Support Forces (rsf)—killed over 67,000 people in just seven days—an average of near 10,000 per day. The killing was so terrible that blood stains could be seen from space.

The rsf openly admits these killings are done on an ethnic basis, and survivor testimonies back this claim. One survivor of an rsf attack recalled being lined up with other Sudanese for questioning. Soldiers asked the civilians what tribe they were from. Anyone who gave the “wrong” answer was killed on the spot. Should the victim claim to come from an acceptable ethnicity, the rsf brought in a translator from that tribe to make sure they weren’t lying.

Events like these are happening continually in Sudan—with the support of the U.A.E. Worse yet, everyone knows the U.A.E. is a staunch supporter of the rsf and refuses to hold it accountable.

There is extensive evidence that the U.A.E. supplies the rsf with finances, weapons and mercenaries. It’s even possible rsf drones are controlled from within the U.A.E. Imagery from satellites and other mediums shows constant U.A.E. shipments to rsf territory, as well as U.A.E.-exported weapons in rsf hands.

The [Sudanese] war would be over if not for the U.A.E. The only thing that is keeping [the rsf] in this war is the overwhelming amount of military support that they’re receiving from the U.A.E.
—Cameron Hudson, former chief of staff to successive U.S. presidential envoys for Sudan

The tragedy at El Fasher is not the only genocidal atrocity committed by the rsf in this war—with U.A.E. backing. Yet Israel continues to deepen relations. In the current struggle for power in the Middle East, Israel and the rsf are on the same side.

Israel is not the only country doing this. In June, Raymond reported that the United Kingdom decided not to expose the U.A.E.’s relations with the rsf in 2024 to avoid jeopardizing relations. The U.A.E. has deep pockets, and the UK would rather continue receiving funds than stand up to it. The U.A.E. has also bought America’s silence by investing in President Donald Trump and his family.

How This Will End

Looking at the situation physically, it’s easy to see Israel’s reasoning. It needs friends in an anti-Israel world, and the U.A.E. is a powerful one with money and military materials.

Israel’s approach is not unique. The United States and Britain allied with the Soviet Union during World War ii to defeat the bigger threat of Nazi Germany. The U.S. backed many unsavory regimes during the Cold War when the Soviet Union was the more urgent threat. Israel faces the immanent threat of Iran, which backs terrorist regimes and militias across the Middle East and North Africa. In seeking help from enemies of Iran, Israel is acting as nations have acted for centuries.

Allying with the U.A.E. hardly makes Israel responsible for its actions. But this growing friendship will not end well for Israel—so says your Bible.

In Jeremiah 17:5, God says, “Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and taketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the Lord.” There is an alternative to the “enemy of my enemy is my friend” logic that dominates the world today. Israel is trusting the U.A.E. for its survival when it should be trusting God.

If Israel truly wants to survive in a hostile world, it must remember it doesn’t need physical allies to win wars. Israel had no allies in the Six-Day War or its 1948 war for independence, yet God delivered it—immediately after miraculously delivering the Jews out of the hands of Nazi Germany. This is not ancient history. In Leviticus 26, God promises Israel that obedience will lead to peace and the ability to defeat armies 100 times its size.

The book of Lamentations prophesies what will happen to Israel should it continue trusting human neighbors. Lamentations 1:19 says Jerusalem will call for its lovers, or allies, but they will deceive Israel.

Lamentations 1:2 prophesies, “[Israel] weepeth sore in the night, and her tears are on her cheeks: among all her lovers she hath none to comfort her: all her friends have dealt treacherously with her, they are become her enemies.” The Bible even prophesies that the U.A.E. will soon betray Israel.

Unless Israel returns to God and relies on Him for protection, it will reap the curses found in Jeremiah’s writings. Israel is about to experience a worse genocide than what we see in Sudan.
