The State of Israel has been using all its powers to destroy and occupy Muslim territories as much as possible.
Israel has reached from Gaza to Lebanon, from Lebanon to Syria and eventually to Iran. In the future, its attacks will likely spread to other regions. Now it is up to Muslims—whether they choose to take action or wait for their turn to face devastation by Israel. The control of the Middle East is now in the hands of Israel. Muslims are left with only one option—resistance—which is the only way to protect their territories from Israel’s aggression.
In the history of the world, no country has suffered the devastation that Gaza is currently experiencing. Oh Muslims, do not beat around the bush—it is time to take action. Your turn is coming as Israel continues to threaten one Muslim country after another. History will remember the fighters of Hezbollah and Hamas, not those who remained silent. In the terminology of war, inaction leads to more devastation. The same holds true for Palestinians who are losing their lives every day.
Palestine is not just a piece of land—it is a historical place that holds the memories of prophets. Ironically, it has now turned into rubble. This rubble stands as a witness to the inaction of Muslims regarding Al-Quds, where Muslims remain under siege by Zionist forces. Long delays in taking action are causing more deaths.
It is a sad reflection on Muslim countries. Those rich in resources are under the influence of the Zionist regime and European powers. Those lacking resources and a strong economy are struggling to defend their survival and territories. The examples are visible—Gaza, Lebanon, Syria and Iran are already in a state of war with Israel. Meanwhile, other Muslim countries that possess nuclear weapons and advanced war technologies remain silent spectators of their Muslim brothers’ suffering.
Many tributes from my side to Muslim fighters, including Hamas, the Hezbollah resistance group and Iran. They are not only resisting but also leaving behind a legacy of courage for future generations. Their resistance is carving a path both for the present and for the future. No matter the cost, tyranny must be resisted in every era. As the saying goes, “When war is necessary, do not focus on the crowd.” A few Muslim states are indeed fighting Israel today. Now the ball is in the court of Muslims—whether they unite or continue to divide while the enemy dares to overpower them.
