The Purim War

March 2, 2026



purim-and-the-war-against-iran_1240x698-1.jpg
Tonight March 2 is the eve of the Jewish festival of Purim 
which celebrates the genocide of 75,000 Persian antisemites
during the 4th or 5th centuries BCE. These antisemites were
plotting to massacre the Jews, but Queen Esther exercised 
her charms on the king and turned the tables on them. 
Society is slowly coming to the realization
that Chabad Jews want to murder everyone who resists their tyranny
including ethnic Jews like myself. 
My website and books demonstrate that Satanist Jews and
Freemasons orchestrated World Wars One & Two for the purpose of inflicting
suffering on humanity whom they seem to hate.  



Trump, Netanyahu and Putin are all members of Chabad.

I asked Grok 4- 

Has anyone commented on the relation between the timing 
of this Iran war and the Story of Purim?

Thought for 19s 

Yes, numerous commentators, journalists, and social media users have drawn parallels between the timing of the recent U.S.-Israeli strikes on Iran (which escalated into broader conflict starting around February 28, 2026) and the biblical story of Purim, a Jewish holiday commemorating the deliverance of the Jewish people from a genocidal plot in ancient Persia--modern-day Iran. 

Purim, observed on March 2-3, 2026 (14-15 Adar in the Hebrew calendar), recounts how Queen Esther and Mordecai thwarted Haman's scheme to annihilate the Jews, leading to a reversal of fortunes where the Jews defended themselves and defeated their enemies. The proximity of the strikes to Purim--occurring just days before, on Shabbat Zachor (the Sabbath of Remembrance, focused on recalling ancient foes like Amalek, linked to Haman)--has been highlighted for its symbolic irony, with some viewing it as a modern echo of historical deliverance, others as deliberate timing for rhetorical or motivational purposes, and a few critiquing it through historical or conspiratorial lenses.

Key Commentary from Media and Analysts

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and IDF Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir have invoked Purim themes in statements about the operation (dubbed "Roaring Lion" or similar), framing the conflict as a contemporary reversal against an existential threat from Persia/Iran, much like the ancient story.

Religious leaders, such as Rabbi Steven Burg of Aish, emphasized how the regime's fall aligns with Purim's message of courage overcoming tyranny, calling for prayers and support for Israel and the U.S.

In opinion pieces, writers like Jon-Erik G. Storm in The Times of Israel described the conflict as the "Purim War," noting the reversal where Israel, backed by U.S. might, turns the tables on its foe, contrasting with past attacks on Jewish holidays.

Similarly, The Jerusalem Post's analysis of Parshat Zachor tied the Torah reading's themes of remembering Amalek to Israel's current standoff, urging coalition-building and resolve akin to Esther's strategy.

Broader discussions include The New Arab questioning if the strikes' eve-of-Purim timing holds symbolic significance, amid Netanyahu's existential rhetoric.

Aish.com's piece reflected on the "uncomfortable familiarity" of the ancient Persia story playing out now, especially with Supreme Leader Khamenei's death on Shabbat Zachor.

Religion News Service called the timing "uncanny," linking it to confronting "radical evil" like Amalek.

The Jewish Telegraphic Agency noted rabbis and politicians reviving Esther parallels due to Khamenei's death just before Purim.

Some Iranian perspectives flip the narrative: State media claimed the Purim story is a "false account" where Jews plotted genocide against 77,000 Iranians, using it to fuel anti-Israel propaganda.

Meanwhile, Iran's Jewish community prepares for Purim discreetly amid tensions, with experts noting antisemitic protests at Esther's tomb.

Christian and interfaith voices, like Christian Friends of Israeli Communities, highlighted the story's triumph of good over evil, even as war intensifies, with U.S. President Trump's ultimatum deadline aligning near Shushan Purim.

While some see divine providence or irony, others view it as coincidental or propagandistic....

Comments for "The Purim War "

JM said (March 4, 2026):

Bertrand Comparet makes the case at Bertrand ComparetArchives @ christogenea.org that the Book of Esther is a fabricated tale from start to finish,


A native Californian, stepped down from the California BAR and spent the rest of his life studying ancient manuscripts and historical documents.


JD said (March 3, 2026):

More accurately, the timing is apparently based around
"Remembrance Shabbat,"

"Trump and his superior, Bibi Netanyahu, were guided by Kabbalah magic. They agreed to carry out this historic attack on a particularly auspicious date in the Jewish calendar, called Remembrance Shabbat, the last Saturday before the feast of Purim. The facts are overwhelmingly clear: International Jewry decreed the attack day and the US military jumped like obedient dogs to a Jewish whistle."
