United in Prayer, United in Struggle: The Global Cry for Palestine’s Freedom

The current crisis in Palestine has revealed the breadth of the gulf between puppet regimes and struggling peoples. There are two opposing views regarding what has been happening there since the Zionist entity assassinated His Highness Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, Secretary General of Hezbollah. This development was one of the most dangerous things that happened in the region for decades, and it was an attempt to extinguish the flame of revolution that was raging in the hearts of many against occupation and oppression. With the commission of this crime, the Middle East entered a state of unprecedented tension, which could lead to the start of an all-out war. Things have interacted since Friday, after the martyrdom of Sayyed Nasrallah and the seriousness of the crime committed by the occupying forces were confirmed. Perhaps the Zionists and their supporters did not expect the reaction that occurred and the readiness of the armed forces to respond decisively to the crime. It is not unlikely that the interactions of the crisis will lead to a reshaping of the political and military balance in a way that threatens the existence of the occupying entity. The anger that simmered in the hearts of many was unprecedented, and made clear the entity’s danger to the security and stability of the Middle East. Perhaps the enemy’s Prime Minister thought that the assassination of the Secretary General of Hezbollah would lead to the cohesion of the party and its allies in the resistance, but instead, these forces clashed to strengthen their ranks to face the Israeli Challenge which threatening the entire region, and his policies were not limited to the murder that claimed the lives of huge figures such as Ismail Haniyeh and Sayyed Nasrallah.

In these difficult circumstances, it is worth noting a number of issues relating to the current dangerous developments:

The first is that the assassination of Nasrallah created awareness among the Arab peoples that they are the main target of the expansionist, bloody, and eradicating Israeli policy. The enemy was betting on stirring up sectarian differences to prevent a popular reaction against him after he had committed the crime. But that did not happen instead, an unusually alert state occurred between Islamic movements and revolutionary organizations of different stripes. The Palestinian movements realized that the targeting was directed at the Palestinian issue, which was the main priority of the martyr and his party. However, the void that the martyr left behind must be acknowledged, a void that caused Islamic leaders to feel pain and anger, and prompt them to think seriously about reshaping themselves and their priorities in the struggle for dignity with the goal of freeing the Holy Land and keeping. the luster of Palestine causes burning. Israeli crime interactions are expected to continue for a long time, as the exchange of missiles and border skirmishes that have taken place so far are only the beginning. Therefore, no one rules out the possibility of a regional war breaking out, especially since the occupation continues to target many countries such as Syria, Lebanon and Iran. There is a strong reproach to countries that did not take strong positions against the occupation, such as Türkiye, Egypt and Saudi Arabia. The target now is not just a specific party or leading person, rather, the Zionist strategy is based on establishing a wider Zionist entity to achieve what their beliefs and books indicate. This is a serious matter that Arabs and Muslims must understand carefully to prevent “Israel” from achieving its educational goal.

Second: Arab governments’ interaction with the major event in Lebanon was not at the level of responsibility. The Arab League was not invited to hold an emergency meeting to discuss the preparations needed to prevent Zionist expansion. The least the League can do is issue a joint statement addressing America in clear language that its full support for the occupation is considered a threat to Arab interests, and that it has the right to freeze its diplomatic relations with Washington if it doesn’t stop. support the occupying entity. None of that happened. Nor did the League threaten to implement the principle of joint defense among Arab countries so that Lebanon would feel supported by the Arabs, and could respond to America, which supported the demand for violate its sovereignty and kill its citizens. Large sectors of the public felt let down when the countries normalizing their relationship with “Israel” remained silent and took no action to put pressure on “Israel.” It would have been more effective to show some solidarity with Lebanon and make it feel that it enjoys Arab political, financial and military support. This America did not hesitate for a second to declare its full support for “Israel” and its commitment to ensure its security, regardless of the crimes it commits.

Third: Despite the failure of Arab regimes and governments, there has been popular interaction in many Arab countries, including Tunisia, Algeria, Jordan, Syria, Iraq, Kuwait, Bahrain, and Yemen. Marches took place denouncing the occupation, its crimes, and America’s supportive position, mourning councils were held for the souls of the martyrs, and some organizations and political bodies published statements of condemnation and calls to activate Arab and Islamic unity in the face of the occupation and its attacks. This interaction is not enough to prevent aggression, especially since it does not reach the point of disrupting public life or threatening the interests of countries that support the occupation. This is an expression of the effect of policies of marginalization and weakening of peoples, as well as policies of submission and surrender to Zionist policies. It is one of the political periods that witness widespread political, ideological and intellectual polarization, as well as the failure of political elites to play their part in raising awareness and contributing to deepening public and national awareness. People certainly have a role to play in preventing aggression and tackling occupation, and their absence leads to a lack of awareness and leadership. This situation encourages the occupation and its supporters to continue their aggressive policies and occupation, and prevents the crystallization of effective populist positions that disturb the Western countries that support “Israel.”

Fourthly: It is a serious strategic mistake to sacrifice the groups and individuals who stand up to the profession and bear the results of their jobs. These people have reached the highest levels of consciousness and possess courage and strength as well as self-denial. They know that they are standing in the line of fire and nothing separates them from martyrdom and death. They reconciled themselves to this and were not intimidated by the power and oppression of the enemy. Rather, they remained patient, persistent, united, and true to their positions and covenant with God. They are the elite that the enemy fears and seeks to eliminate. Despite the media blackout and authoritarian bullying in many Arab countries, the Palestinian issue lives in the conscience of the nation and its people, and the policies of the American-backed political elites cannot get rid of it. As long as this matter has remained present in hearts and souls for more than three quarters of a century and successive wars without succeeding in eradicating it, the nation will remain steadfast in the face of those who seek to defeat it, its delete, fragment it, or divert its course. Today, the issue of Palestine has become a standard for groups and individuals and the extent of their commitment to the values ​​and issues of the nation. What is certain is that the day will not come when this nation abandons the land of the Ascension, no matter how bloody the occupation and its supporters.

In light of these facts, Palestine will continue to be the compass of the nation. Our Bahraini people will remain vigilant against attempts to marginalize them, and remain in the squares shouting his name and calling on the ruling Khalifa’s gang to cancel the acts of treason and committed against Palestine. Our people refuse to normalize and demand relief. This is true of the ordinary citizen on the street, and it has also become a fixed position among those behind bars who chanted from their cells about Palestine and Bahrain without fear of the Khalifa gang, who committed the greatest betrayal by normalizing his relationship with the occupier and ignoring Palestine and its people. The people will express their views by taking part in daily protests and chanting for a free Palestine, and they will not care much about the cruel cruelty of the Khalifa, who expresses a hidden hatred for everything that is humanitarian, Islamic or national. This is a firm position from which the people will not deviate. In the meantime, we call on citizens to use patience and pray for freedom for Palestine and Bahrain, and we pray for their martyrs and we pray for God to destroy the enemies of the nation and humanity.

O God, have mercy on our righteous martyrs, and give them sincerity before you, Lord of the Worlds
