Operation Al-Aqsa Storm: Shattering the Illusion of Israeli Invincibility?

The Palestinian question transcends religious, ethnic, and geographical boundaries, representing a universal concern for humanity. It is important to note that individuals worldwide, regardless of their religious affiliation, who possess an understanding of the factual circumstances in Palestine, will inevitably align themselves against the usurping Israeli regime and strongly oppose its actions. The Israeli regime, known for its illegitimate and unlawful rule, has not hesitated to engage in various forms of criminal activity. Consequently, the Palestinian resistance is justified in defending and asserting the rights of the oppressed Palestinian nation through military means.

One such operation, Operation Al-Aqsa Storm, was meticulously planned and executed to the point where the prevailing notion of the invincibility of the Israeli regime faced formidable challenges. The subsequent defeat and astonishment of the Zionist forces in the face of Operation Al-Aqsa Storm compelled them to commit further atrocities, including attacks on Palestinian residential areas using prohibited weapons such as white phosphorus bombs. Despite the Israeli regime's concerted efforts to portray itself as an occupying force through baseless and unsubstantiated claims, the events unfolding in the occupied territories and the Gaza Strip have sparked widespread protests across the globe.

 

The international community has begun to closely scrutinize the behavior of the Israeli regime, particularly its indiscriminate killing of Palestinian children. Consequently, thousands of individuals, both Muslims and non-Muslims, have taken to the streets worldwide to express solidarity with the Palestinian people and condemn the violence perpetrated against the residents of Gaza, despite certain restrictions. Even in the face of a ban on rallies in support of Palestine and the threat of imprisonment by the French government, hundreds of people gathered in Paris's Republic Square for a demonstration. The attendees prominently displayed Palestinian flags, while placards with the message "Stop Israel!" were also visible. The demonstrators vociferously proclaimed, "Israel is a murderer!" and "We are all Palestinians."

 

Similar displays of solidarity have emerged in Greece, where diverse groups have rallied in support of Palestine's freedom and condemned Israel's actions. Waving Palestinian flags and brandishing written messages, demonstrators chanted slogans such as "Death to Israel" and "Long live Palestine," carrying banners bearing the slogan "USA Stop Aid to Israel." In Argentina, a significant demonstration was organized to denounce the crimes committed by the Israeli regime. In Buenos Aires, the capital city, hundreds of people responded to the call of leftist groups, marching towards the city center demanding Palestine's freedom through banners and handwritten placards.

 

Reports of rallies supporting Palestine have also emerged from various other countries around the world. In Sydney, Australia, people took to the streets to express solidarity with the Palestinian resistance and condemn the crimes perpetrated by the Zionist regime. American citizens, too, refused to remain indifferent to the Israeli regime's transgressions, leading to gatherings in front of the White House. Demonstrators raised Palestinian flags and displayed banners advocating for the right to resist occupation while rejecting the portrayal of Palestinians as terrorists. Through their chants, they demanded Palestine's freedom and the release of all prisoners held by the Zionist regime, urging the US administration to cease its disgraceful support for Tel Aviv.

 

Remarkably, it is not only Muslims and freedom seekers worldwide who have united in support of Palestine, but anti-Zionist and pro-Palestine Jews have also expressed their repugnance towards the Israeli regime through a rally in New York. Chanting in solidarity with the Palestinian people, they employed slogans such as "Jews yes, Zionists no; Israel must go."While the world has rallied together in defense of the Palestinian cause, the United States, England, Germany, France, and Italy, in a joint statement, have regrettably chosen to turn a blind eye to the ongoing crimes committed by the Zionists against the oppressed people of Palestine. This disregard only serves to perpetuate Israeli brutality and must be addressed with the utmost urgency.
