Since the start of the Gaza war last October 7, 2023, the Middle East has been on fire, what many specialists predicted has now come true, the war has spilled over to Lebanon, the situation in Syria has worsened, the Houthis (Yemen) are mobilizing and stopping Western ships in the Red Sea to sail and there are almost daily attacks on the American occupier in Iraq by Kitab Hezbollah, the Iraqi branch of the Lebanese Hezbollah.
The latest crime of the Israeli regime was the murder of the Iranian Brigadier General Sardar Sayyed Reza Mousavi, one of the senior military advisors of the Iranian IRGC in Syria, he was recently killed by the Israeli regime during a rocket attack on Damascus. Mousavi was a comrade of general Haj Qassem Soleimani, who was murdered by America (Trump) and was partly responsible for supporting the resistance front in Syria against occupying America and its Western client states.
In the West people think it is just a war between Israel and Hamas, but it has become a conflict for the liberation of Palestine and the entire Middle East, the Axis of Resistance has actually risen against the Axis of Evil, ironically speaking. The Axis of Evil is a pact made by the ex-President of the U.S., the warmonger George Bush Jr. after the attacks on the World Trade Center in 2001. The Axis of Evil are the countries for the U.S. and its client states the countries of Axis of Resistance: Syria, Lebanon, Iraq, Yemen, Iran and Palestine.
In Iraq it’s mainly Kitab Hezbollah, a branch of the Lebanese Hezbollah that recently released a statement after the death of Sardar Sayyed Reza Mousavi and immediately carried out an attack.
“In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful”Permission [to fight] has been granted to those who are being fought, because they were wronged. And indeed, Allah is competent to give them victory.” In continuation of our path to resisting the American occupation forces in Iraq and the region, and in response to the massacres of the zionist entity against our people in Gaza, the fighters of the Islamic Resistance in Iraq attacked the occupied Harir base near Erbil Airport in northern Iraq with drones. The Islamic Resistance reaffirms its commitment to continue striking the enemy’s strongholds.”
In southern Lebanon, war has been going on since Israel’s attack, as Sayed Hassan Nasrallah said in his speech in Beirut, Israel has been firing drones and missiles every day (already before October 7) at Lebanese villages such as Markaba (located on the Israeli border), where most of the supporters of Hezbollah and Amal (another Shiite party) live, there are rumors that Israel uses the forbidden chemical white phosphorus. A recent statement from Hezbollah – Lebanon after the death of Sardar Sayyed Reza Mousavi.
“In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. “Permission (to fight) has been granted to those who are being fought, because they were wronged. And indeed, Allah is competent to give them victory. This is the truth of Allah, the Most High, the Almighty. In support of our steadfast Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip and in support of their brave and honorable resistance, and in response to the targeting of villages and civilian homes, the fighters of the Islamic Resistance, at 01:00 PM on Monday 25/12/2023, targeted a position of the “israeli” enemy soldiers in the vicinity of the Hanita site with appropriate weapons, causing confirmed casualties, between dead and wounded”.
Recently I reported in an article about how the resistance of the Axis of Resistance has evolved especially in Palestine, where young people are not the stone-throwing youth of the second Intifada anymore, but armed with new weapons, wherever they come from is not important! They are also equipped with high-tech spy software. In the West and many alternative media sites came up with many stories about it being a conspiracy by Israel, which would have attacked its own people, it is partly possible, of course, that it was a false flag. But I still believe that the Palestinian resistance and the Axis-of-Resistance are well equipped with high-tech weapons and drones.
The Western world is appalled by the Red Sea blockade of the Houtis, who are a group from the Axis-of-Resistance, they have been fighting for years against the Saudi Arabian regime, which is supported by the U.S. and its client states from the West. France also supplied weapons to Saudi Arabia, for example, which caused a scandal in France. After the vicious murder of Sardar Sayyed Reza Mousavi they also came out with a statement.
“In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Allah Almighty has said: “O you who have believed, if you support Allah, He will support you and plant firmly your feet.” This is the truth of Allah Almighty. In solidarity with the oppressed Palestinian people who continue to face killing, destruction, siege, and starvation: The Navy of the Yemeni Armed Forces, with the help of Allah Almighty, has carried out an operation targeting the commercial ship “MSC United,” executed with appropriate naval missiles. The targeting of the ship came after the crew, for the third time, ignored calls from the naval forces, as well as repeated fiery warning messages. Additionally, the Drone Air Force of the Yemeni Armed Forces carried out a military operation with several drones against military targets in the Umm al-Rashrash area “Eilat”and other areas in occupied Palestine”.
A few weeks after the attack of October 7, I was in Lebanon and felt the coming war, but most Lebanese (including Syrians and others) do not want war. I have spent a few hours with Hezbollah and Amal fighters and everyone assured me that it is actually war already and Hassan Nasrallah’s speech in November in front of the Blue Mosque confirmed this.
The war in Syria that started in 2011, according to the Western version, a revolution over the dissatisfaction of President Assad’s government. But the real version is of course that it was a coup d’etat by the U.S. and its client states NATO/EU. A proxy war as they call it. The West supported Islamic radical groups such as Al-Qaeda and later ISIS (Daesh). This war was the West’s first loss since Vietnam (thanks to the help of Russia) and has seen so much death and barbarism that the genie was out of the bottle and has caused large parts of the Middle East to want to fight the West with everything they have.
If the genie was already out of the bottle in the Syrian war, this latest murder on Sardar Sayyed Reza Mousavi is the last straw that further stimulates the resistance against Israel. The murders committed in recent years against senior Iranian generals and scientists from the Israeli Mossad in collaboration with the U.S. and its Western client states have also not been forgotten. In particular, the assassination of Haj Qassem Soleimani has not been forgotten and Sardar Sayyed Reza Mousavi was Soleimani’s most loyal and closest associate.
After the most extremist government that Israel has ever known since the establishment of the state of Israel in 1948 took office, the occupation, hatred and violence have escalated even more, a situation that is no longer tenable for the Palestinian population and it simply had to escalate.
But the war is not only in Gaza, heavy fighting is also reported from Ramallah, Nablus, Jenin and the rest of the West Bank. In other words, all of Palestine is in revolt and as the military leader of Hamas recently explained. What was to be expected is that the West will continue to support Israel, after all the U.S. is the stronghold of AIPAC, the Israeli lobby that influences all political leaders (with money and bribery) and who in turn buys, or rather buys, the political leaders of Europe said dictation, because for many Europe has still been occupied by the U.S. since 1945.
“Senior Hamas leader Osama Hamdan masterfully explains the reasons for the operation, lays out military and political strategies, and discusses the terms of the resistance. It’s about the liberation of Palestine and beyond, the Axis of Resistance is now involved as well, he said during an interview”.
For the first time, the world can see genocide being committed “live” on TV and social media. The West is silent for the second time in history, that is to say the politicians and media bought by the politicians and Zionist lobby. During the Holocaust of the Jews most Europeans were silent and now during the genocide of the Palestinians and previously the rest of the Middle East they are silent and again they support the side of murderers and madmen. They never learn and this among others is also part of the downfall of so-called Western civilization.
