No tear was shed by the self-styled advocates of human rights when terrorists launched explosive-laden drones to target a graduation ceremony of Syrian military cadets in the city of Homs earlier this week, resulting in the death of around a hundred young aspiring soldiers and various degrees of injury to over two hundred-and-fifty others, some of whom are in serious condition.

Not a day passes when Zionist soldiers and dangerously armed illegal Jewish migrants hunt and hound to death unarmed Palestinians, including children, in the towns and cities of the West Bank of River Jordan, but no one in the supposedly civilized societies of North America and Europe bothers to condemn this unabated genocide of the past 75 years.

Neither the World Body nor its so-called Security Council have ever objected to the almost daily violation of the sovereignty and territorial integrity of UN member Syria whose towns and cities are targets of Israeli drones, missiles, and aircraft for the past few years, with mounting loss of life and destruction of the infrastructure.

Since 1979 UN Security Council Resolution 446 has not just been lying dormant but systematically violated through building of Jewish townships in a sizeable part of Syria’s Golan Heights, the Shabaa farmlands of Lebanon, the eastern part of Bayt al-Moqaddas, and the West Bank – all of which have been virtually annexed with the tacit approval of the US and the UK – but the ‘international community’ refuses to pressure Israel to withdraw from these 1967 occupied territories.

Moreover, Gaza has been under siege for the past 16 years and its 2.3 million people suffering from economic hardships that worsen because of the frequent air raids of Israel and the death and destruction it entails, yet this terrorism of a racist and roguish regime is never denounced by the ‘defenders of democracy’.

Now, when the besieged Gazans decide to exercise their right of self-defence by launching a lightning assault on parts of the 1948 occupied territories of their usurped homeland, they are being called ‘terrorists’, and that too by those whose state terrorism against fellow humans knows no limits, whether on the basis of race and religion or simply the lust for hegemony and expansionism, coupled in all these cases with their intense hatred for Muslims ever becoming economically independent and politically powerful.

Why do they fear Islam? Why do they want the Palestinians – or for that matter the Lebanese, the Syrians, the Iraqis, the Egyptians, the Yemenis, the Bahrainis, the Afghans, and the pious and patriotic people of the Islamic Republic of Iran – to be deprived of their inalienable right of resistance?

The answers are obvious. The terroristic regimes which rule the roost in several supposedly powerful countries fear that the liberating message of the Holy Qur’an will release people from the bondage of the libertine life promoted by the liberal democracies and the shackles of superstition imposed by demagogues riding to power on the jingoistic tendencies of ignorant mobs.

In other words, such vanishing breeds are terrified of the thought of the equal rights of all mankind and thus they have no other choice but to criminally voice support for the crimes against humanity of the illegal Zionist regime, and label as ‘terrorists’ the poor Palestinians and all those Muslims striving to awaken minds, enlighten hearts, and strengthen the spirit of universal brotherhood for building the ideal world order based on peace, prosperity, and justice.

Therefore, “Operation Al-Aqsa Storm” that caught intelligence agencies of Global Arrogance by surprise and shattered the myth of invincibility of nuclear-armed Israel, came as a rude shock to the true terrorists all over the world who have rushed to the support of Tel Aviv and are weeping for the 700 odd killer Israelis killed by Palestinian defenders, the more than 2,000 Zionist criminals injured, and the over hundred thuggish soldiers captured and taken to Gaza.

At the same time, these hypocrites, whether in Washington, London, Paris, and Berlin or in other parts of the world, have dropped all pretensions to humanitarian values by applauding the ongoing air raids of the Zionists on Gaza that have so far claimed the life of over five hundred innocent Palestinians – mostly women and children – in addition to destroying the infrastructure of the besieged enclave.

It is, however, naïve of Global Arrogance to think the Palestinians are being pulverized by the Israelis who through their barbaric atrocities intend to teach a lesson as well to the Lebanese, the Syrians, the Iraqis, the Yemenis, the Egyptians, the Iranians, the Turks, and others from ever thinking of unifying ranks for the liberation of al-Aqsa – that will definitely happen and result in the weeding out of the cancerous tumour called Israel.
