Have the regimes ruling Arab states surrendered in ‘toto’ to Usurper Israel and humiliatingly put on the Zionist yoke on their necks?
That is the initial impression one gets while browsing the western media which gleefully covers the views of officials of the rootless and unrepresentative regimes from the Persian Gulf-Red Sea to the Atlantic coast of Africa.
On closer look, however, while the deceived sheep deliriously dance with the rapacious wolf, little knowing how savagely they will be devoured in the end, one finds that the masses of the Arab world definitely do not condone the treachery of rulers they have not elected.
Here we are not speaking of the few independent Arab states in West Asia and North Africa where people fully alert against the dangers of the American-Zionist plot, denounce the terrorism of Israel, and determine through the ballot boxes the parties and politicians they want to be at the helm of affairs, such as Iraq, Algeria, Lebanon, Yemen, Syria, and even the besieged Palestinian enclave of Gaza.
The reference is to the simmering resentment against Israel in British created and American administered Jordan, where on Friday after days of outcry against the humiliating “water for energy deal” massive rallies were staged on Friday in the capital Amman after the weekly congregational prayers.
The demonstrators denounced the illegal Zionist entity with which the unelected king that rules them has friendly, or more properly vassal-overlord relations after long betraying the cause of the oppressed Palestinians and occupation of Islam’s former qibla, the al-Aqsa Mosque in the city of Bayt al- Moqaddas, where almost daily the properties of Arabs are being seized and Islamic sanctities desecrated.
Some of the placards carried by the peaceful protestors read: “The gas of the enemy is an occupation!” and “Down with the gas deal.”
They called on the regime to scrap its so-called peace agreement with Israel, declaring that normalization with an avowed enemy is a “humiliation”.
This shows that no matter how humiliatingly low the regimes stoop to kiss the Zionist threshold on the orders of godfather US, the hearts of the Arab people are still alive and beating with the Islamic spirit of resistance against the enemies.
This same spirit of resistance is also evident in not only the Arab world’s most populated state, Egypt, where the suppressed masses barely hide their resentment against the US-Zionist devilish designs, but also amongst the under-populated Persian Gulf states, whose rulers are now dallying with gay abandon with Israel while stifling any voices of discontent.
It is a matter of regret that last month, Jordan’s water minister, Israel’s energy minister, and the United Arab Emirate’s climate change minister signed the water-for-energy deal in Dubai in the presence of US Climate Envoy John Kerry for supply of 200 million cubic meters of desalinated water from the Zionist usurpers of Palestine, in return for 600 megawatts of electricity generated from a UAE-funded solar energy plant in Jordan.
The people of Jordan ought to continue their mass protests, and are most welcome to join the Axis of Resistance which is the only hope for salvation of the dignity of the Arab world from US-Zionist hegemony.
