Arab Solidarity with Gaza is Just a Mere Show of Words

"Israel has the right to defend itself" is a phrase that has been repeated and is still being repeated extensively by the Western press and Western governments. So it has become, from my point of view, the one that summarizes the situation in Gaza today because the flood that destroyed Israel's image made it, after that, play a bloody role expressed as a racist occupation state that is revealed day after day by the process of genocide and ethnic cleansing against the civilian population of Gaza, describing them in the words of its Defense Minister Yoav Galant as "human animals".

Despite Russia's failure to adopt a draft resolution in the Security Council calling for a ceasefire in Gaza, there is a voice emerging against the Western bias towards the occupation state. Many countries, including Iran, are still warning against the expansion of the war into a regional war! The question that must be asked here is: Will the Gaza war expand into a regional war in which everyone fights against everyone, as some politicians and analysts say?

The Middle East has become a hot tin roof. Therefore, some of them believe that in the case of Gaza, it is a war of liberation and the restoration of what has been lost since 1948, and some of them see that it will be a war of shuffling cards, as a result of which a new Middle East will be created.

In the midst of these complications, we cannot predict what will happen and how things will turn out, but the closest scenario would be the cessation of the war as before, and thus the Palestinian resistance will have recorded an important breach in the military and intelligence system of the occupation state, represented by the operation it launched against its system in the colonies surrounding Gaza on the morning of October 7th.

Operation Al-Aqsa Flood revealed the fragility of the Israeli Defense Forces, which some Arab leaders raced to normalize with their state, so that the masked Abu Ubeida, the spokesman for Hamas's military wing, came out in his last speech, weeks after the start of the battle, saying that the heroes of the Palestinian resistance had completely eliminated the Israeli Gaza Brigade and captured many of them. Abu Ubeida has become reliable in his words in the most close and distant circles of decision-making in the occupation state.

“The bombardment and destruction carried out by Israel in the Gaza Strip is exaggerated and exceeds the reaction to the October 7 attack,” said the Chinese President, who supports the right of Palestinian citizens to establish their own independent state. The Chinese President, as well as his Russian counterpart, recorded their historical stance on the Palestinian issue. This position is to their credit, regardless of the political motives that prompted them to do so. In the time of silence and disappointment that we are experiencing, positions in support of right and truth are considered heroic and courageous positions that will be immortalized in history.

A man in the far reaches of the globe says what failed to be said by rulers, whose countries borders are always attached to the land of Palestine and were once an integral part of it! What a shame!

The positions supporting the Palestinian cause in these circumstances, even if they are soulless voices, have made the Arab observers who adhere to the Palestinian right feel relieved in a time of Arab betrayal and Western arrogance. The position of the leftist Colombian President, Gustavo Petro, is the most prominent among the leaders of Western countries. He took a political decision to expel the Israeli ambassador from his country and supported the Palestinian cause with remarkable courage.

For example, he said:

"The only solution for the children of Israel to sleep in peace is for the children of Palestine to sleep in peace, and this will only be achieved through a peace agreement that respects the rights of the two peoples."

"I have studied the history of the Palestinian cause since my youth, and I knew very well the meaning of occupation, apartheid and crimes against humanity committed by Israel against the Palestinian people, I cannot overlook this!!" 

The Colombian President reinforced in one of his tweets on X platform with images showing the changes that have taken place on the Palestinian map since 1948, and described Gaza in another tweet: "the great prison besieged for 16 years."

A man in the far reaches of the globe says what failed to be said by rulers, whose countries borders are always attached to the land of Palestine and were once an integral part of it! What a shame!

If this man were an Arab ruler, he would become a national hero.

Mass massacres are being committed against the Palestinians in Gaza every day, before the eyes of a blind world. The occupation bombed the Baptist Hospital, killing more than five hundred martyrs as a result of this bombardment. There was no condemnation that could cure grief. Everyone has been silent in the face of this bloodiest massacre since the beginning of events. It is a second Holocaust, as someone said.

“They say: This is a serious violation of international law. This phrase is the most brazen lie to cover up the ugliness of the world, and the truth is that there is no law. America is the law; America is above the law; America is behind the law. Israel is nothing but an ugly face of the Western racist colonialist, which safely revels and continues to kill as it pleases, without accountability or supervision, in a world without conscience.

Accordingly, "expel" the ambassadors of America and Israel as a minimum of protest against the torrent of Palestinian blood that is spilled and unspoken about.
