Need for Palestinians to Upgrade Defences

The latest act of Israeli terrorism against Gaza on the pretext of rockets fired from the besieged enclave on some southern parts of Usurped Palestine, warrants serious efforts by both the Palestinian people and the Resistance Front to check the ever increasing Zionist atrocities against the sons of the soil.
Protests and angry statements are of no use, as the experience of the past 70-odd years since the illegitimate birth of Israel, has shown.
The UN cannot and will not do anything to stop Israeli crimes against the people of Palestine, whether the frequent air raids on Gaza or the organized demolition of Palestinian homes, businesses, and farmlands in the West Bank, as well as the barring of worshippers from holding prayers in the sacred al-Aqsa Mosque.
The super-rich Arab regimes after decades of lip-service to the Palestinian cause have now betrayed them and have openly aligned themselves with Israel, without the least consideration for the plight of fellow Muslims.
Since the start of fasting month of Ramadhan, the occupied Islamic city of Bayt al-Moqaddas, especially the area around the Dome of the Rock, has been the scene of skirmishes between the unarmed Palestinian people and the armed-to-the-teeth Zionist forces resorting to every kind of brutality to prevent the annual religious gatherings in the city centre.
And the Zionist criminals have intensified their aerial attack on Gaza to disturb the peace and sanctity of the month of Ramadhan.
So, to whom do the Palestinians turn for help and who will alleviate their sufferings?
Of course, to God Almighty! It is He, Who will assist the Palestinians, provided they help themselves.
"Indeed, Allah does not change a people’s lot, unless they change what is in their souls...” (Holy Qur’an 13:11).
It means the Palestinians, whether the combatant organizations like Hamas and Islamic Jihad or whether the seemingly helpless and defenceless masses in the West Bank and other parts of Occupied Palestine, should stop expecting anything positive from the Arab regimes and the international bodies.
They should do a real searching and openly express solidarity with the fellow oppressed in the Arab world, like the people of Yemen, who are indeed their true supporters.
It is rather unfortunate that in spite of the avowed support of the Ansarallah Movement for the cause of Palestine and the need to step up the fight against the Zionists, the Palestinian people and organizations have failed to reciprocate.
It is time, Hamas, Islamic Jihad and the other combatant groups took a leaf out of the book of Ansarallah – as they had successively done in the past by accepting the assistance of Lebanon’s legendry anti-terrorism movement, the Hezbollah – to upgrade their missile and defensive power.
The Islamic Resistance Front, whether in Yemen or whether in the Levant, is all too willing to come to the help of their Palestinian brethren.
In the modern age of satellites and the Internet there are no barriers to prevent the people of Palestine from acquiring the latest technological means of defence that will indeed rattle the bones of the Zionists.
Once the Palestinian people have the sophisticated missiles and drones to rain down on Haifa, Tel Aviv, and other nerve centres of Israel, not only would the Zionists have second thoughts on continuing their state terrorism, they will see the promised end of the illegitimate regime.
