There is nothing innovatory or new in the lessons that Israel has been continuously teaching the Arabs since the very establishment of the Zionist state in 1948. It is the same old story in relation to the latest barbarian and bloody reminders of those lessons. Arabs and Muslims globally have become used to the daily scenes of blood spilling in Palestine; the Israeli air, land and sea attacks; and the daily demolition of houses and live burying of innocent people under the debris. To be quite honest, the Arabs don’t really care much for what Israel has done and still continues to do. Perhaps the enemy wants to weaken the Arabs and it is with this aim that Israel initiated a bloody and savage attack on Lebanon and coordinated a massive plan of death and destruction to destroy the infrastructure of the country.
After every Israeli attack, the Arabs are in the habit of saying that peace is the only strategically viable choice they have. Even if Arabs do not admit it, the fact remains that 99 percent of the “winning cards” in this “game” are with the US, just Egyptian President Anwar Sadat declared. In spite of this the Arabs continue seeking American help whenever a crisis or a massacre takes place. On the other hand, the UN only has a remaining one percent of cards and clout.
The first lesson that Israel has recently re-educated the Arabs with through its attack on Lebanon and crimes in Palestine is that weak people can never achieve peace; they always end up surrendering. This is something that we also learn from the final actions of the Lebanese political resistance movement Hezbollah.
The second lesson is that the US not only supports its allies monetarily and through weapons but it is also a dishonest broker and an integral partner in all the death, destruction, and barbarian activities of Israel.
The third and final lesson is that the UN, or what can be easily referred to as the international legitimacy group, is a mirage and — thanks mainly to the US — totally powerless to take any action when it comes to reprimanding Israel.
Occupation of Arab land is the fundamental tactic Israel uses to continue its existence. Land has forcibly been taken ever since 1948 at the end of the British Mandate when Zionist gangs began a campaign of terrorizing unarmed Palestinians and forcing them out of their homes and land. This is the history of Zionism, a political movement, which has been responsible for a chain of criminal acts of murder and killing and genocide. The Zionists are in fact responsible for making people in the Middle East frightened, killing their hope and infixing desperation among them using misquoted and forged texts from the Talmud and Old Testimony as was clarified and explained by many respected Jewish rabbis prior to the war on Lebanon.
It is on this basis that the Zionists fight — neither to defend themselves nor to create peace or release hostages. They genuinely know that the only way to ensure peace is by ending the invasion and occupation of Palestine, parts of Syria, and Lebanon. Yet, Israel wages war to maintain the land it has occupied and to sustain its very existence. Israelis do not understand or want peace — something that has been offered to them on hundreds of occasion. The only language they comprehend and are capable of understanding is the language of missiles and rockets. The reason is that their occupying mindset and Talmudic motives — the driving forces that lead them to function and operate as a state. It is because of this mindset that Hezbollah responds using the same language as the Israelis, which teaches us the fourth lesson — the merciless attack on Lebanon.
We really do not need to start battles and wars. I believe we have spoken to each other and said this same mantra many a times. What we really need is for the Islamic and Arab nations to unite using their strengths and energies to boycott and blockade the enemy and its allies.
We need a political and diplomatic mass-media war. We also need to arm all resistance organizations and parties if needed, because anymore peacemaking offers are not going to work. This is especially the case when sick-minded enemies, who only envisage our destruction and annihilation, are involved.
