As I write this in late February 2024 CE (mid-Sha‘ban 1445 Hijri) the official variety of Palestinians murdered by zionist aggression within the al-Aqsa Storm conflict has risen to almost 30,000. The true quantity is significantly increased, since many victims are nonetheless buried beneath layers of rubble. Almost 70,000 have been injured. Most of these killed and maimed have been girls and youngsters.
The martyrs dispatched shortly to paradise are luckier than the survivors, who’re compelled to endure virtually unimaginable horrors. The zionists have blockaded meals in a deliberate try to slowly starve Gazans to loss of life. Social media movies abound displaying crying moms unable to search out a lot as a crumb for his or her famished kids. Surviving households, lots of whom have misplaced family members, lack housing, warmth, and heat clothes within the midst of the chilly, wet winter.
The demonic zionists have intentionally bombed water, sewage, electrical, gas, and well being care infrastructure. They’ve destroyed nearly all of Gaza’s housing, in an effort to mass-murder Gazans and expel the survivors. The destruction of Palestinian houses and life help has compelled 1.4 million individuals to take shelter in Rafah on the Egyptian border. Now the zionists are intensifying their bombing of Rafah within the newest episode of their “ultimate answer to the Palestinian downside.”
On January 26, the Worldwide Court docket of Justice (ICJ) agreed with South Africa’s competition that there’s possible trigger to imagine that Israel is committing genocide (see additionally right here). Any nation on earth might invoke the made-in-USA “Accountability to Defend” (R2P) doctrine and use army drive in an effort to cease the #GazaHolocaust. The very first nations that may be anticipated to behave are people who share Palestine’s Arabic language and tradition. And but solely two comparatively small and weak Arab nations have tried: Lebanon and Yemen. The bigger, richer, and extra highly effective states, starting with Saudi Arabia and Egypt, have been lacking in motion.
What explains this weird state of affairs, wherein the weak present braveness whereas the sturdy reek of abject cowardice? Let’s start with the cowardice. Egypt has principally been a zionist colony ever because the traitor Anwar Sadat “abnormalized” with Israel in 1979. Since then, the Egyptian army has been awash in American funding, with practically $100 billion in bribes convincing junta leaders to proceed betraying their Palestinian brothers and sisters.
Right this moment, Egyptian dictator Abdel Fattah el-Sisi finds himself in a decent spot, as Israel pushes him to endorse genocide and open the border to Palestinian refugees, which might allow the entire erasure of the individuals of Gaza. To his credit score, el-Sisi has so far refused, saying that any expulsion of Palestinians to Egypt would trigger Cairo to interrupt off relations and return to an anti-Israel conflict footing. However ominously, Egypt is constructing a huge human cattle pen on the Gaza border, “simply in case” or so el-Sisi says.
Saudi Arabia, traditionally a supply of each lip service and a level of actual help for Palestine, has progressively adopted Egypt’s path of abject give up. The present de facto ruler, Mohammad Bin Salman, implicitly endorsed zionist claims to al-Quds (Jerusalem) by acquiescing to Donald Trump’s “Abraham Accords” fiasco, setting the stage for the present disaster. Right this moment, the Saudis try to make amends for that mistake by insisting on “no normalization and not using a Palestinian state with pre-1967 borders” and strengthening the Kingdom’s peace cope with Yemen’s Ansarullah motion, even within the face of US strain to hitch Washington’s anti-Yemen “Operation Prosperity Guardian,” higher often known as “Operation Genocide Guardian.”
It’s ironic that Saudi Arabia is tacitly (although not actively) supporting Ansarullah’s blockade of Israeli-bound delivery. In spite of everything, it was the Saudis themselves who initially dragged the US into their conflict on Ansarullah in 2015. Now the tables are turned, and the People try to tug the Saudis into an anti-Yemen conflict, to this point with out success.
Saudi Arabia has an almost two-trillion-dollar adjusted GDP, whereas Yemen’s is a mere $0.2 trillion. By that measure, Yemen’s financial system is one-hundredth the scale of the Saudi financial system. However regardless of its obvious weak point, Yemen was not solely in a position to defeat the Saudis and their western backers in a nine-year conflict, however is now taking army motion to attempt to cease the genocide of Gaza.
Lebanon, too, boasts a mere $0.2 trillion GDP, one % of Saudi Arabia’s and one-twentieth the scale of Egypt’s. However like Yemen, Lebanon has distinguished itself by taking army motion in help of Palestine. All through Israel’s genocide of Gaza, the Lebanese resistance group Hizbullah, the de facto foremost department of the Lebanese army, has been pounding the zionists nonstop, puncturing Israel’s “Iron dome,” forcing 200,000 zionist settlers to flee the northern strip of Occupied Palestine, and diverting Israel’s forces from the Gaza genocide marketing campaign.
So why are mice like Yemen and Lebanon roaring, whereas lions like Saudi Arabia and Egypt whimper? There are two categorically completely different sorts of solutions: political (dunyawi) and theological-spiritual (rouhani).
Politically, most leaders really feel constrained by circumstance; their decisions are dictated by the boundaries of the attainable. Caught between a proverbial rock (zionist energy) and a tough place (their very own individuals’s help for Palestine) they attempt to stroll a effective line, cautious to not anger the zionists an excessive amount of lest they grow to be targets, whereas providing adequate lip service to the Palestinian trigger to at the very least minimally placate their topics.
That balancing act has grow to be tougher since October 7. Any Arab chief who takes energetic steps to help Palestine might be portray a goal on his again—and the stronger the steps, the larger the goal. But any Arab chief who’s seen as complicit within the genocide dangers being overthrown by his personal individuals.
The leaders of Hizbullah and Ansarullah have already got zio-American targets painted on their backs. They’ve much less to lose, are principled slightly than merely pragmatic, and due to this fact are free to hunt Allah’s good pleasure doing the proper factor: actively resisting the zionist genocide of Gaza. Whereas leaders like Bin Salman and el-Sisi, presiding over states whose economies and militaries are intertwined with American and therefore zionist cash and energy, must take enormous dangers to be able to return their nations to forthrightly anti-zionist positions. And even when they did, and survived, there isn’t a assure that, given the present stability of energy, they’d have a lot of an opportunity of succeeding in saving Gazans, a lot much less totally defeating the zionist genocidaires.
So, from a cosmopolitan political viewpoint, the state of affairs is bleak. Arab leaders are merely appearing inside constraints imposed by the ability of circumstance.
However how did they, and their regimes, arrive in such circumstances? By means of a protracted strategy of cultural decline. Complete peoples, led by their elites, have repeatedly chosen expediency over ethics, laziness over diligence, egotism over islam (submission of the self to God).
In response to well-known ahadith, one of many indicators of Yawm al-Qiyyama is that “the bottom and the worst man within the nation will grow to be its chief.” The world could not fairly have reached that time but, but it surely isn’t far off. Right this moment, leaders who characterize the most effective of their nation, like these of Hizbullah and Ansarullah, are the exceptions. Most leaders are neither pious nor brave nor sensible. When an uncommonly good chief arises, like Imran Khan in Pakistan, he dangers being assassinated or imprisoned.
So, the deeper purpose the Arab nation is so helpless as we speak is that it, like a lot of the remainder of the world, has declined in non secular high quality, permitting itself to be divided and conquered by the forces of evil. The mediocre-at-best leaders that predominate in as we speak’s Arab lands, just like the shattered and corrupted societies they preside over, are merely not a match for demonic power of the zionist shayateen.
However the seeds of higher management, planted in locations like Yemen and Lebanon and Iran and (insha’Allah) Pakistan, are starting to sprout. Because the secular-materialist west declines, and Zio-American energy with it, the circumstances constraining Arab management will change, and the potential for good management reviving united Arab and Islamic lands (slightly like Putin’s management reviving Russia) will grow to be manifest.
No matter worldly conquests the zionist dajjal acquires might be solely short-term, and can convey the Occupation demons no actual happiness nor any respite from their self-inflicted torment of hatred, greed, and cruelty. Ultimately, it will likely be seen that they had been solely digging their very own graves—all the best way to hell. For because the Qur’an tells us, “They plot and Allah plans; and Allah is the most effective of planners.” (Surat al-Anfal, 30).
