indeed regimes in the rest of the world are doing to help the suffering people# The ionistonslaught on !a"a has led to similar 8uestions from 2uslims# hile the 8uestion is natural0the answer0 sadly0 is anything -ut satisfa,tory#

Ordinary 2uslims are for,ed to as this 8uestion -e,ause there are many pro-lems,onfronting 2uslims in different parts of the world# They feel deep sympathy for andempathy with them# hile they want to express solidarity and help in whate1er way possi-le0su,h help is limited in s,ope and impa,t# Indi1iduals ,an at -est donate money to a ,harity tohelp alle1iate some suffering andor parti,ipate in rallies to 1ent their anger and frustration atthe ongoing in5usti,es -ut these ,annot resol1e the -asi, pro-lem# It is for go1ernments totae a,tion to stop aggression against 2uslims and to institute poli,ies that would ensuresu,h ,rises do not erupt again#

The expe,tations of ordinary 2uslims 1is@Q@1is the regimes spring from two diametri,allyopposite sentiments# The first is their genuine ,on,ern for fellow 2uslims suffering anywhere

in the world# The se,ond is predi,ated on the assumption that the 2uslim regimes ,an dosomething# This is a faulty assumption and empiri,al e1iden,e from repeated ,rises hasdemonstrated this -eyond dou-t that su,h expe,tations are mispla,ed# ith few ex,eptions0

people in ,ontrol of regimes in the 2uslim world are agents of imperialism and ionismRtheir o1erriding ,on,ern is self@preser1ation0 not alle1iating the suffering of oppressed2uslims# In fa,t0 these regimes do not ,are for people in their own so,ieties either so thisshould put to rest any notions that they would help 2uslims elsewhere#

The suffering of Palestinian people fa,ing a -ar-ari, ionist onslaught has mo1ed 2uslimsworldwide0 espe,ially during the days of fasting in )amadan# Seeing little ,hildren -eing

-lown to pie,es on tele1ision s,reens has mo1ed e1en non@2uslims to ,ondemn ionist-ar-arism0 notwithstanding the support their regimes ha1e extended to the illegal entity inO,,upied Palestine# 2ost people are also aware that !a"a has -een under an illegal siegesin,e >??< that has ,aused extreme hardship among Palestinians# $dd to that the repeatedionist atta,s on the en,la1e destroying whate1er infrastru,ture they ha1e managed to -uild0naturally ,auses deep anguish#

Aet us0 therefore0 ,onsider what the rea,tion of the 1arious regimes in the 2uslim world has-een to the latest ionist onslaught on !a"a# e start with the Saudi regime that has donnedthe mantle of leader4 of the Sunnis and the self@styled Custodian of the Two Holy Cities#4The Saudi regime is also flush with petrodollarsR it earns an estimated ?? -illion in annual

oil salesR its reser1es are estimated to -e more than : trillion# This is no small sum#

=uestion a-out the Saudi regime4s ,ondu,t is important -e,ause it has pumped an estimated -illion to tafiri groups in Syria and Ira8 ostensi-ly -e,ause they are fighting againstShia4 go1ernments there# To the -est of our nowledge0 there are no Shias in Palestine or!a"a# e must0 therefore0 as+ what has the Saudi regime done to help the suffering Sunni4

people of !a"aR more parti,ularly0 how many guns0 ro,ets or missiles it has sent to theresistan,e in !a"a to fa,e the ionist onslaught9 The tafiri terrorists in Syria and Ira8 ha1eno shortage of weapons or other war materiel0 thans to the Saudis and their tri-al allies inthe region# If the Saudis are ,hampioning the ,ause of the Sunnis40 why are the pooroppressed Palestinians not in,luded in this list9

Instead0 what we find is that the Saudis and their allies are a,ti1ely ,olla-orating with the


15/37

"ionists to destroy su,h resistan,e groups as Hamas0 Islami, /ihad and Hi"-ullah# This leadsus to ,on,lude that the Saudis do not represent the interests of Sunnis4 despite ,laiming to,hampion their ,ause# This is 5ust a ploy to use against those ,ountries and mo1ements thatare predominantly Shia in order to play on the se,tarian emotions of ordinary 2uslims#

&gypt that has a -order with !a"a has ept it shut pre1enting any relief supplies fromrea,hing the -esieged en,la1e# Similarly the &gyptian military regime tried to sta- Hamas inthe -a, -y -roering a ,easefire agreement di,tated -y the "ionists that would ha1e putHamas at serious disad1antage and ris had it a,,epted its terms# Hamas was not e1en,onsulted a-out the ,easefire agreement# It is important to note that the &gyptian militaryregime is ,losely aligned with and finan,ed -y the Saudi tri-al regime#

hat is the rea,tion of the other Sunni4 go1ernments in the region9 Sin,e most are tri-alregimes and little more than ,ity@states e1en if flushed with oil and gas wealth0 they ,arrylittle weight in international politi,s# They are more ,on,erned a-out self@preser1ation thanworrying a-out suffering 2uslims elsewhere# The only ex,eption to this is Turey that is a

serious regional player# hat has -een its role9

)hetori,ally0 Turish Prime 2inister )e,ep Tayip &rdogan has lashed out at Israel and,riti,i"ed its atta, on !a"a# Has he done anything pra,ti,al to help the Palestinians9 Tureyis among the few 2uslim ,ountries.&gypt and /ordan are others.that ha1e diplomati,relations with the ionist entity# Has Turey withdrawn its am-assador from Tel $1i1 or sentthe am-assador of the illegal ionist entity pa,ing home9 Turey was the first Sunni42uslim ,ountry to esta-lish diplomati, relations with the "ionist state as soon as this ,an,eremerged in the heartland of Islam# True0 Turey was at the time under *emalist rule -ut if the

present go1ernment is more representati1e of the people0 then it should ha1e no pro-lemse1ering diplomati, ties with one of the most oppressi1e and ,riminal regimes in the world#The o1erwhelming ma5ority of Turish people are totally opposed to the ionist regime andits ,riminal poli,ies# They ha1e had dire,t experien,e of ionist ,rimes when the 2a1i2armara was atta,ed in international waters illing nine Turish ,iti"ens and in5uringdo"ens of others on 2ay :0 >?:?#

The 2a1i 2armara was taing relief supplies0 not guns or -om-s0 to the -esieged people of!a"a yet the Turish go1ernment has taen no steps to prose,ute the ionist war ,riminalsthat perpetrated war ,rimes on the open seas against its ,iti"ens# %urther0 Turish@Israeli tradehas ,ontinued to grow# So how ,an anyone tae &rdogan4s anti@Israel rhetori, seriously9 It is,lear that he is playing to the pu-li, gallery without taing any ,on,rete steps to help the

suffering Palestinian people#

e must now turn to the poli,ies of the two ,ountries that ha1e -een at the re,ei1ing end ofSaudi@"ionist@imperialist ,onspira,y+ Islami, Iran and Syria# Iran has -een espe,ially targetedand -randed -y the Saudis as a Shia State4 Kinstead of the Islami, State0 as if Shias are not2uslimsL in a despi,a-le attempt to delegitimi"e it in the eyes of the Sunni4 ma5orityworldwide#

Unfortunately0 Iran has no dire,t -orders with Palestine# It is0 therefore0 for,ed to resort toingenuity to deli1er the te,hni,al now@how to the Palestinians to stand on their feet# ithoutsu,h help0 the Palestinian resistan,e groups would ha1e -een wiped out and the ,ause ofPalestine ,ompletely forgotten# Those 2uslims that are swayed -y se,tarian rhetori, shouldas themsel1es the simple 8uestion+ whi,h ,ountry has done the most for the sufferingPalestinians9 $lso0 they should ,onsider the pri,e Iran has had to pay in terms of the illegalsan,tions it has endured for more than three de,ades -e,ause of its prin,ipled stand ofsupporting the Palestinian ,ause#

In No1em-er >?:>0 following the last ionist atta, on !a"a0 leaders of Islami, /ihad andHamas a,nowledged at a Cairo press ,onferen,e the pra,ti,al help Islami, Iran had

There is one other ,ountry whose poli,y we need to ,onsider+ Syria# 2er,enaries from E,ountries ha1e flooded into Syria targeting its go1ernment# They are finan,ed -y regimes inSaudi $ra-ia0 =atar0 *uwait0 the U$&0 Turey and su,h other well@nown anti@2uslimentities as the ionist regime in O,,upied Palestine and the US# hen the mayhem in Syriastarted in 2ar,h >?::0 there were numerous Palestinian organi"ations that had offi,es in7amas,us# These offi,es had existed for more than two de,ades# Slowly0 the Palestiniangroups influen,ed -y their sponsors in =atar and elsewhere persuaded them to ,lose theiroffi,es and relo,ate despite the fa,t that the Syrian go1ernment showed no hostility to them#Unfortunately0 some Hamas mem-ers ha1e also gone to Syria to fight against the for,es ofthe go1ernment of Bashar al@$sad#

3In order to now the answer0 we should now that what is happening today in !a"aV is nota separate or passing e1ent# It is an integrated ,hain of e1ents+ from the o,,upation ofPalestine0 to the in1asion of Ira8 and trying to di1ide it now and the di1ision of the Sudan all

planned -y Israel and the est and always exe,uted -y the states of tyranny and-a,wardness in our $ra- world#3as it not $-dul $"i" I-n $-dul )ahman al@%aisal i-n Saud who ,on,eded to Britain thathe does not o-5e,t to gi1ing Palestine to the poor4 /ews in :;:D9 7id those states not in,itethe :;< war0 whose pri,e we are still paying today0 in order to get rid of the !amal $-dul

Nasser phenomenon49 7id those states not support Iran under the Shah0 only to stand againstit when it de,ided to support the Palestinian people and turn the Israeli em-assy into aPalestinian em-assy after the re1olution9

3Those are the ,ountries that made the *ing %ahd Pea,e Initiati1e4 in :;E: and threatened

the Palestinians with ri1ers of -lood if they don4t a,,ept it# hen the Palestinian fa,tionsre5e,ted it0 and in less than a year0 there was the Israeli in1asion of Ae-anon /une :;E> andthe e5e,tion of the PAO from Ae-anon0 not out of ,on,ern for Ae-anon0 -ut for Israel#

3Those same states surprised us in >??> with their greatest ,on,ession+ normali"ation inreturn for pea,e04 whi,h was later modified to -e,ome the $ra- Pea,e Initiati1e4 in theBeirut summit#

3hen Israel atta,ed Ae-anon in >??0 it was those same ,ountries that en,ouraged Israeland the est not to a,,ept a ,ease@fire until the Ae-anese resistan,e Hi"-ullah wasdestroyed0 des,ri-ing them as ad1enturous#4 Be,ause these satellite ,ountries su,,eeded intheir tass0 they were ,harged with funding ,haos under the name of the $ra- spring04 andwith leading the $ra- Aeague after other $ra- ,ountries a-andoned their roles# The $ra-Aeague itself was redu,ed to summoning N$TO and imposing a siege on the $ra- states thatrefused to ,omply#

3This leads me to another important issue# Some inside Syria ha1e expressed indifferen,etowards !a"a0 on the premise that we ha1e our fair share of national pro-lemsR others ha1egloated at the Israeli aggression as a rea,tion to the ingratitude and disloyalty of somePalestinians towards Syria and e1erything we ha1e offered for de,ades# Both ,ases howe1er0refle,t na1e thiningR what is happening in Syria and the region as a whole is strongly linedto what is happening in Palestine# 7isso,iating oursel1es from these e1ents would -e liewat,hing a neigh-or4s house -urning and not offering to help#That is why those who -elie1e that we ,an li1e in safety and distan,e oursel1es from thePalestinian ,ause are mistaen# It will remain the ,entral ,ause -ased on prin,iples and thereality that lins what is happening in Palestine with what is happening in Syria# e need to

The same thing would happen if we ,ut our illegal funding for Israel4s geno,ides and a,ts ofterrorism0 ethni, ,leansing0 ,oloni"ation0 and annexation against Palestine#

But sin,e the US$ is an anti@demo,rati,,ountry0 the only way to stop US pluto,rats fromusing our money to fund Israeli terrorism is to for,e it through massi1e0 non@1iolent pressure#

One way it happens is when it -e,omes too politi,ally ,ostly for the pluto,ra,y to eepfunding geno,ide and terror0 meaning the ,osts of their illegal support outweigh the -enefits0as in Indonesia# In that ,ase0 massi1e pu-li,ity and indigenous resistan,e a,,omplished thegoal#

But Israel is the US$4s main imperial W and nu,lear W -ase for ,ontrolling the 2iddle &ast0whi,h US planners0 in :;D0 ,alled the greatest material pri"e in world history0 due to the oiland gas# Thus0 it might re8uire more0 as in non@1iolently maing our ,ountry into ademo,ra,y so that people ,ontrol their own institutions and money0 and thus the way weoperate as a so,iety and intera,t with the world#

Aast note+ To -e ,lear0 Israel is a legal state0 -ut only within the -orders allotted to it -y theUnited Nations W the Pre@:;< -orders0 whi,h existed -efore Israel started eating away0through terror0 ethni, ,leansing0 ,oloni"ation0 and annexation0 at the areas reser1ed -y theUnited Nations for Palestinians0 as well as areas of other ,ountries0 su,h as Syria Kthe !olanHeightsL#

Per international law0 US domesti, law0 and ,ommon sense0 Israel doesn4t deser1e anysupport until it a-andons isolationism and a,,epts that it ,an4t steal other people4s ,ountries0and stops -lo,ading and withdraws its soldiers and settlers0 all there illegally0 from those,ountries#

Israel is0 militarily0 the most powerful ,ountry in the 2iddle &ast0 -y far# )emo1ing oursupport for the Israeli go1ernment Kwhi,h we are legally re8uired to doL will not put Israelisin danger# It will pressure the Israeli go1ernment to stop doing what endangers Israelis0 whi,his ,ommitting aggressi1e a,ts against Israel4s neigh-ors#

If Israel ends its status as a ,onsistent 1iolator of human rights0 de,oloni"es Palestine0 andrespe,ts its neigh-ors0 it ,ould -e a pleasure W and legal W to wor with and support Israel#
