When the glorious history of the Palestinian struggle is written, both the 7th of October and 14th of April shall be mentioned as the watershed moments. While the Zionist Occupation Entity has continued to face challenges from the Resistance Axis in the past as well, something happened on these two dates that was hitherto unprecedented in scale and scope.
In its entire history of 75 years, never has the entity faced such a multi-vector attack as it is facing now. 7th October was not an emotional outburst but a calculated resistance operation that based itself on cold facts rather than emotion. Six months hence, while the entity has killed around 35,000 Palestinians in a show of its genocidal intent, it has very little to show in terms of military might. The defeat it has faced both politically and militarily has rendered it insane. And for the first time in its history, it is reacting to the event and not proactively setting the agenda. This is the biggest achievement of the Resistance Axis.
The same holds for the Operation True Promise of the 14th of April. If the 7th of October proved that the entity is weaker than the spider web, Operation True Promise sent a clear message that the days of impunity are over and the entity shall have to wait and take the punishment every time it grows a bit too big for its feet. In a remarkable show of military might, Iran hit Israel with a volley despite all the stories of the technical sophistication of its air defence system that the entity has been planting across the global media.
And while the military element of it has been discussed several times, let’s look at the domain of politics and economics today for a change. The entity’s genocidal nature has now reached to the homes of every individual in this world via the internet and smartphones. This is the first step towards the breaking of the iron-clad control that the Zionists and their political allies had over the flow of information. This became evident when the entire spectrum of the American political class clamoured to ban TikTok. TikTok and Telegram—two of the apps that youths use mostly these days—upturned the flow of information overnight. Taken by surprise the pro-Zionist media did not know how to respond. The New York Times scandal where it turned out that the newspapers commissioned a fake story to individuals linked with the Occupation Military is an example of that nervousness. It is now evident that the slow but confirmed demise of legacy media beholden to the Zionist interest has begun. Increasingly, youths are looking at them as media that resorts to fake news and are shifting their allegiances to alternate media.
It also became evident that when unadulterated news reached individuals across the world, their most natural reaction was to take the side of the oppressed Palestinians. This reached to a point where pro-Palestinian messages on these less-controlled platforms reached several tens of times higher than the pro-Zionist messages. This is a big victory for the Resistance because these same youngsters who have seen the genocidal nature of the entity shall become future leaders within a decade.
The entity’s genocidal response has also created massive fissures between the Zionist-controlled ruling classes in the West and among the regional Islamic Elites, and their population. It is especially stark in the Middle East and Europe. Several European Countries under the leadership of Spain have expressed the desire to recognise the Palestinian State, something which was unthinkable before 7th October. This is no small achievement. Do remember that these governments are beholden to Zionist interests to the scale where they cannot dare to speak one sentence in the favour of Palestinians. The tide is turning.
Another tentacle of the Zionist Medusa is their control of the large Western corporations. Many of these corporations have either been founded or led by people with Zionist bent of mind. These corporate heads have had dual loyalties all along and they have put the interests of the entity over the interests of the countries they are based at. As this backstabbing dual loyalty becomes apparent to the local population, they have started punishing these corporations. McDonald’s, Starbucks and others whose leaders once pranced around like they owned the world have started to feel the pinch. These same people who once prided themselves in assisting the Zionist entity in maintaining the occupation have now suddenly seen the light, and are using the language of peace and solution. Sustained pressure on these corporations will force more and more divestment from the Zionist entity to the point where one day every corporation will see it as a kryptonite that should not be touched.
The Resistance has raised the economic cost for the occupation entity to a point where no amount of assistance from the United States can help it. Analysts say that the total economic loss for the entity in the last six months is close to $58 bn, which is 20 years’ worth of American aid flowing in.
During Operation True Promise, the entity and its allies had to spend by some accounts an excess of $1.4 bn to intercept the missiles. And even after such pilferage, the Iranian missiles hit all intended targets including an airbase in Nagev, and an Intelligence Base in the Occupied Golan Heights.
The effect on human resources is even more acute. Close to half a million “Israelis” have left the entity since the start of the war. Many of these shall never return. If the Resistance keeps turning the screw, these numbers shall only increase. This will put the entity in an unenvious position where not only will human resources become scarce, but it will also have to deal with the lopsided demographic reality where native Palestinians will see their share in population spike rendering the regime into an Apartheid Regime both in letter and spirit.
This also explains why the regime has turned insane and is taking steps to embroil the world into another war. As the ship sinks, it wants to drag down everyone with it. By the actions of their political class, the Western Regimes have implicated themselves in this genocide. They know that when another Nuremberg happens, there is no way they will not be held accountable with the officers and the political classes of the Zionist regime. But these Western elites are now in a quicksand. The more they are trying to extricate themselves out of it the more the entity drags them down. This is making their population extremely nervous. Reports have emerged that there is a rebellion brewing inside the Western governments itself with those horrified by their country’s participation in the genocide and those afraid of being implicated on one side and the political class beholden to the Zionist money and dual loyalty on the other side. It has started as a trickle, but now it will turn into a tsunami.
The regional Islamic elites, as well as other Third World allies of the Zionist entity, who had thought that the Palestinian Issue had been buried never to be resurrected, have received a blow like never before. The days of putting your legs in two boats are over. The Resistance with its political acumen has brought the situation to a level where every country or group has been forced to take a clear position. During Operation True Promise, Iran also exposed the land bridge that some regional Islamic Elites were providing to the Zionist entity after Ansarullah put a blockade on the Red Sea route around Bab al-Mandab. It waylaid an “Israeli” ship that was using the ports of the UAE from where the land bridge to the entity passed through Saudi Arabia and Jordan. Just a day later, Jordan also provided help to the entity in trying to thwart Operation True Promise.
So, the wider Islamic World now knows what the Persian Gulf Islamic Elites, namely Emirates or Saudis are up to. They now know who are the collaborators and who are the sympathisers. The Zionist regime has put them in a position where they can no longer appear as supporters of Palestinians, and act in the opposite direction at the same time.
