"Where there is a will there is a way” runs a famous English proverb. It refers to the resolve of those who refuse to yield, be intimidated, or are dissuaded from striving to achieve the goals upon which they have set their eyes – whatever field that might be, ranging from academic degrees and scientific endeavours to trade, missionary zeal for promoting the right cause, and the complex world of politics.
On the global level, the Islamic Republic of Iran stands out as the model of the morally upright system safeguarding peace, stability and security of not just the Iranian nation, but also of the regional people, with its indomitable spirit of resistance against any kind of plots, conspiracies, exploitations, economic terrorism and military aggressions.
Over the past forty years, this iron-resolve of the Islamic Revolution has infused a new life into long-oppressed nations by building their trust in Almighty God, firming up their faith in the dynamism of Islam, and strengthening dauntlessness against the inflated might of the enemies, for the lively struggle to reclaim their denied birthrights by shattering the myth of invincibility of occupiers of their homelands.
As a result, freedom movements are flourishing in the region and beyond, from the shores of the Indian Ocean to the coast of the Mediterranean Sea, including the land of Palestine, where this new spirit of resistance breathed by the Father of the Islamic Revolution, Imam Khomeini, has turned into nightmare the daydreams of Zionism to create ‘Greater Israel’ from the River Nile in Egypt to the River Euphrates in Iraq.
On Saturday, October 5, one such popular movement, the Islamic Jihad, marked the 32nd anniversary of its founding in Gaza, with tens of thousands of Palestinians reaffirming their resolve to end the illegal existence of the Zionist entity.
"No to the accursed Oslo Accords, and no to everything that stems from our enemies, including Donald Trump’s conspiracy of the century”, were among the vociferous chants of the besieged people of Gaza, as they rallied in the streets.
The huge rally that included hundreds of fighters from the al-Quds Brigades, the armed wing of the Islamic Jihad, was addressed by Secretary-General Ziyad an-Nakhaleh, who rightly remarked: "Gaza, which has always been oppressed, is now a cornerstone to be reckoned with in the equations of war, and represents the vigour of its men and its resistance, along with the steadfastness of its people.”
Ziyad an-Nakhaleh, who was in Iran late last year to meet the Leader of the Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, was full of confidence for the date of destiny of the Palestinian people with their ultimate victory, which no plots disguised as peace by the Zionists, the Americans, and the reactionary Arabs (who have virtually sold out Palestine to Israel), can be put off, as the giant electronic clock in Tehran’s Palestine Square reminds every passerby of the fast approaching end of Israel.
He denounced the deception of detractors who from time to time come up with devilish designs such as the Saudi initiative or the Bahrain conference, saying: "The worst thing we face today is the belief held by some that we can talk with the enemy in peace and that peace is possible between Palestinians and the Israeli regime.”
Apropos to the spirit of resistance of Islamic Jihad and the Palestinian people. They are indeed witnessing the wonders that are worked by willpower, coupled with innovative defence technology, as demonstrated by the Ansarallah Movement against the US-British-Israeli backed state terrorism of Saudi Arabia that has failed to derail the determination of the people of Yemen in safeguarding their independence.
If the daily improving drones and missiles of the Yemeni people can pierce with precision the American-supplied Patriot defence batteries of the Saudi regime, why shouldn’t Islamic Jihad, Hamas, and other Palestinian liberation groups, borrow this technology to shatter the iron domes of the cowardly Zionists!
Of course, they will do it, and it is their right to acquire it, since it is willpower, self-confidence, and faith in Islam, that makes a nation triumph with the skillful use of both diplomacy and defence equipment, against the far superior firepower of the cowardly enemies, as is the case in the Arabian Peninsula, where a spurious entity like British created Saudi Arabia, is crumbling despite possessing hundreds of billions of dollars of state-of-the-art military hardware supplied by the Americans, the British, and the French.
So British-planted Israel count your days, the Palestinians, along with their Yemeni and Lebanese brethren are part of the Resistance, and are determined to liberate their entire homeland, including Islam’s former qibla Bayt al-Moqaddas.
