The Second Anniversary of Operation Al-Aqsa Flood

Fruits Watered with Pure Blood

The seventh of October marked the second anniversary of Operation Al-Aqsa Flood. Two full years have passed since the usurping entity targeted our people in Gaza, employing its machine of killing, displacement, and starvation, and using the utmost degrees of barbarity and savagery against them. So, what has changed with this unjust war?!

First: The Jewish army portrayed itself as the invincible army with its military and intelligence equipment and its dominance over the people of Palestine and the armies of the surrounding countries over the past decades. Then came Operation Al-Aqsa Flood to erase this image from existence and confirm its falsity, and to confirm that it is an entity weaker than a spider's web, and that its soldiers are a handful of cowardly and vile people, and that if it were not for the neighboring regimes and American support, it would have been wiped off the face of the earth a long time ago.

A small group of people from Gaza rubbed the nose of the Jews in the dirt. The infiltration into the areas under their control, the seizure of tanks, the capture of soldiers, and the attack from zero distance were a painful blow that humiliated them before the world and exposed the lie of the agent regimes' claim of their inability and lack of power to defeat this usurper.

Operation Al-Aqsa Flood will remain a witness to the failure of the regimes and their armies to support their brothers and their false claim that they have no power or strength. What a difference between what the Mujahideen possess in terms of weapons and equipment and what the armies possess! And what a difference between the one who heard the cry of the bereaved and rushed to respond and the one who heard it and turned a deaf ear to it.

Second: This operation revealed what was hidden from the world about the hypocrisy of those who claim to defend human rights, women's rights, and freedoms...etc. It revealed the deep gap between Western discourse and its empty slogans and its complicity in killing innocent people and supplying the occupation with weapons.

The whole world has seen the true face of the "protector of human values" and the women's and children's rights organizations established by the "defenders of rights and freedoms!" They all remained shamefully silent as they watched the massacres that befell the women and children of Gaza. In fact, they have disregarded international law, women's agreements, and agreements on rights and freedoms, and all their arrogant claims, so that the honorable people in the entire world can be exposed as a result of that.

The tragedy of the people of Gaza has moved many people to take to the streets in unprecedented million-strong demonstrations in a number of world capitals, expressing their rejection of the occupation's crimes, defying the laws and restrictions imposed on them by their countries. For all of this, the Gaza war was revealing of the deceptive global order and demonstrating the extent of the gap between the criminal regimes whose hands are stained with the blood of the people of Gaza and the peoples who reject and condemn the crimes that even wild animals would shun.

The brutality of the war crimes in Gaza has contributed to the formation of a new global consciousness that rejects Western tyranny in defining good and evil and the double standards of human values. The signs of this change have appeared in the boycott movements, in the demonstrations, and in the attempts to break the siege around Gaza.

Third: The women of Gaza, despite their great tragedy, have presented to the whole world during these two years a shining example of the patient and devout Muslim woman, so that the minds of many Western women have been perplexed by their steadfastness and resilience as they bid farewell to martyr after martyr from their sons, husbands, and families.

The Khansawat of this era have been able to reflect the impact of Islamic faith in their souls and behavior, to confirm the fact that they will not weaken and will not be silent, and will always remain a factory for heroes and a breeding ground for men, and that they will continue to give until Palestine is liberated from the River to the Sea, and they will not dismount without that goal.

Many of the women of Gaza as a whole realize that the two-state solution that America and the Arab countries behind it are calling for is a liquidation of the issue, and that the sacrifices that have been made must make necks stretch out for complete and real liberation that returns the usurped land and defeats the Jewish entity.

So we ask God Almighty to turn the plots of the enemies against them and to prepare the nation for its guidance so that it unites its ranks and the issue of Palestine returns to its origin and its armies rise to respond to the call of the bereaved, taking revenge on the aggressors and healing the hearts of the believing people. He is the Guardian of that and capable of it.
