It is Time for You, O Factions, to Turn Your Backs on All the Traitors, for You No Longer Have Anything to Lose

Since the first days of Operation Al-Aqsa Flood, it was clear that every one of the rulers had betrayed the people of Gaza. Some of them were not satisfied with the shame of their shameful inaction. So they rushed to collaborate, conspire, and participate in the war, as the rulers of Egypt, Qatar, Jordan, the Emirates, and Turkey did. It is as if the rulers wanted to exploit the opportunity to serve their masters, by liquidating the issue of Palestine, removing every pure, dear, struggling soul, and obliterating every sign of pride and dignity, that exposes their conspiracy and betrayal. They do not deal with the issue of Palestine, except according to what their colonialist masters dictate to them. For this reason, they are not ashamed when they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, what is happening on the land of Gaza in terms of genocide, crushing, and annihilation, without the rulers moving a finger. They restrain the armies and prevent them from mobilizing. They even fight every effort that would mobilize the armies to fulfill their Shariah obligation. They persist in their betrayal when they equate the victims with their killers. They play the role of mediator between the people of Palestine and the Jews, at the behest of the kafir countries, according to what the kafiroon themselves decide. By their tongues, and by their mediation, they are closer to the Jews, as they bargain with the people of Palestine for their blood, and their strength, to force them to surrender the Blessed Land and Al-Masjid Al-Aqsa in favor of the Jews. Within the context of pressure and bargaining, the Cairo dialogues come between the PLO and its Palestinian Authority, and the rest of the factions, under the pretext of arranging for the administration of Gaza. All this does not go beyond being within the American vision for the solution, and with the aim of misleading and herding the masses in the Muslim countries, and venting their feelings of sympathy with their brothers in Palestine. The rulers are only active in their movements within the framework of humanitarian aid, as if the people of Gaza only need food and medicine. Even if they do provide something of that, it is only to the extent that the Jews permit, may Allah fight them, how they lie!
Since the announcement by the Axis of Resistance, and its raising of the slogan of “unity of battle theatres,” which has been inflating itself for years, until some people imagined that it had arranged its affairs, and prepared its equipment to fall upon the Jewish entity and eliminate it once and for all. This is so that the Jewish entity would become a fading trace, after the blinking eye, and forgotten. However, the Axis of Resistance collapsed at the first test. Its falsehood was exposed at the first real test after Operation Al-Aqsa Flood, where Gaza was left alone to face the arrogance of the Jews and their deadly and destructive military machine, supported with all force, and without limits by the kafir West. Even those movements and operations carried out by the various parties of the Axis, whether the Hezb of Iran in Lebanon, or the Houthis in Yemen, or the Iraqi factions, over the course of fourteen months of the war on Gaza, did not go beyond being limited retaliatory operations for the Jewish entity. They did not extend to all-out decisive operations with the aim of eliminating the Jewish entity and liberating Palestine. The strikes are all calculated. The targets are studied so that they do not go beyond pressuring the Jews, and forcing them to remain within America’s plan and vision for the region. It is America that led the war of genocide against Gaza from the first day. The operations of the Axis are nothing more than an operation to misleading the masses of the Ummah, who are eager to support the Blessed Land, and are burning with desire for jihad and fighting the Jews. Moreover, why is fighting the Jews limited to organizations and factions, whilst the armies of Muslims exist?!
After the signing of the agreement to guarantee the protection and security of the Jewish entity in Lebanon, between the Hezb of Iran and the Jewish entity, by order of America and with the approval of Iran, there is no longer any room for doubt that the Axis was just a lie. The “unity of the battle theatres” was nothing more than a mirage, that the naive thought was water. It caused them great disappointment. However, why the surprise?! This is an inevitable result of relying on, and allying with, the agent regimes, whether those who normalize, or those who claimed resistance and opposition, which we have not stopped warning against. We advise all the sincere to stay away from those regimes, the creations of colonialism, its meddling tools in our countries, and the loyal caretakers of the interests of the colonialists.
Without underplaying or overplaying, what has happened, and is happening now, in Gaza is undoubtedly an eradication of the cause of jihad and mujahideen, in every sense of the word. It has nothing to do with a particular faction or person. Despite the enormity of the catastrophe and the magnitude of the crime, we have not witnessed any movement on the level of the great sacrifices made by the people of Gaza to this day. In the face of this crime, the so-called resistance factions continue to deal with the same mentality and the same methods. It is as if targeting, assassination, destruction, annihilation, and crushing and grinding, all the capabilities of the people of Palestine did not change anything within them. It did not make them review their situation. It did not make them reconsider their relationship with those criminal regimes, and the calamities that this relationship has brought upon Palestine and its people, with respect to exploiting the sacrifices, jihad and blood of the people of Palestine, to secure the plans of the kafir colonialists, only to then they portray their betrayal as a victory. This is their habit throughout the life of the issue of Palestine.
It is time for these factions to sever their ties with those agent regimes, and stop whitewashing the black pages of the agents in front of our honorable Ummah. It is time for them to realize that this relationship is a major reason for the anesthesia of the Ummah and its powerful and resilient people. This is whilst blood is flowing and limbs are scattered. This is whilst masajid are bombed during Salah. This is whilst homes are being destroyed over the heads of their inhabitants. This is all, without finding anyone to support them, and remove the machine of killing and crime that has fallen upon them. The state of failure that we complain about in Palestine is due to this shameful dependence on those regimes. It is their refusal to address the Ummah with the speech that revives its Iman, and pushes the Ummah to liberate itself, and remove the regimes of shame and disgrace.
It is time for you, O factions, to turn your backs on all the agents and traitors, for they have all discarded you, and the people of Palestine, through a single betrayal. There is no difference between the one who normalizes, and the one who condemns. It is time for you to turn the tables on everyone’s heads, for you no longer have anything to lose. It is time for you to be forthright with your Ummah about the truth about its rulers. It is time for you to stop using the language of interests that you speak of. No good can be expected from these regimes. Moreover, the blood that has been spilled is greater than any material interest.
No one should imagine from our words that the responsibility lies with the factions alone. Instead, the responsibility always and forever lies with the Islamic Ummah as a whole. The Islamic Ummah is obligated to take action and carry out its Shariah obligation towards Palestine and its people. The issue is greater than all the factions, even if they were all unified.
The Ummah must arise over every one. It must realize that the path to liberating Palestine begins with liberating the Ummah from the agent rulers, and unifying its entity and its ranks in one entity, the state of the Second Khilafah Rashidah (rightly-guided Caliphate) on the Method of the Prophethood. It is through the Khilafah Rashidah that the Jewish entity will be eradicated, and the root of the kafir colonialists will be severed, within our lands. Otherwise, the suffering of our Ummah will continue, and the tragedy of Palestine and its people will remain. It will not end as long as the regimes of treason and betrayal remain.
