We declare openly and loudly that we are an umma which fears God only and is by no means ready to tolerate injustice, aggression and humiliation. America, its Atlantic Pact allies, and the Zionist entity in the holy land of Palestine, attacked us and continue to do so without respite.
Their aim is to make us eat dust continually.
This is why we are, more and more, in a state of permanent alert in order to repel aggression and defend our religion, our existence, our dignity. They invaded our country, destroyed our villages, slit the throats of our children, violated our sanctuaries and appointed masters over our people who committed the worst massacres against our umma. They do not cease to give support to these allies of Israel, and do not enable us to decide our future according to our own wishes
As the Zionist Goliath begins to collapse under the blows of the resistance, it is lashing out in fear and anger. Even as they collapse in front of our eyes, the Zionists best bet to survive is escalation.
That may sound absurd, but their strategy is clear. They aim to put the Zionist settler-colony into a situation so precarious that the United States will be forced to intervene. While not even the Biden regime wants to start a war in the Levant, America’s prized military base in the Middle East cannot be allowed to fall.
It’s more than just politics; if the Zionist army is defeated on the battlefield they maintain a long-held strategy called the Samson Option, which entails launching their entire nuclear arsenal at as many cities as possible, friend and foe alike. The United States government cannot allow that to happen, so at some point they must intervene. All the Zionists have to do is put the pedal to the metal, and the machine will do what it was built to do.
To this end, a war with Lebanon seems imminent.
It should be stated plainly that the Zionists cannot win a war with Lebanon. This is not even a controversial opinion. Their backers at the Pentagon1 concur, and the thought of a war is so unpopular among the IOF that officers are leaving en masse. Unrest grips the heart of the Zionist regime, and this time it looks terminal. Cracks in the foundation of the regime are starting to become obvious.
At this point, the army is close to mutiny, openly begging the increasingly isolated Netanyahu regime to negotiate for a ceasefire. The ultra-orthodox extremists who made up most of the regime’s base are now rioting in the streets after new laws removed their exemption from military service. The police who mercilessly terrorize and murder the Palestinian people indigenous to this land do nothing as these fascist maniacs pelt them with sticks and stones.
Much the same as it was in the 1930s, the mechanisms of the capitalist state will only serve to aid the rise of fascism, never to stop it. Without these shock troops, terrorists like Itmar Ben-Givr and Bezalel Smotrich would be rotting in cells under the Hague, and without Ben-Givr and Smotrich’s parties, Netanyahu would be in the next cell.
This betrayal of such a vital base of power reveals just how bad the manpower situation is among the Zionist occupation forces. Only a primal fear can motivate such a self-destructive strategy.
The fanatics are right to be afraid. Hezbollah will not hesitate to send them off to meet their god. They have promised to make Gaza look like a playground, and they have the muscle to back it up.
The Army of God and The People
The US has tried, through its local agents, to persuade the people that those who crushed their arrogance in Lebanon and frustrated their conspiracy against the oppressed (mustad'afin) were nothing but a bunch of fanatic terrorists whose sole aim is to dynamite bars and destroy slot machines. Such suggestions cannot and will not mislead our umma, for the whole world knows that whoever wishes to oppose the US, that arrogant superpower, cannot indulge in marginal acts which may make it deviate from its major objective. We combat abomination and we shall tear out its very roots, its primary roots, which are the US. All attempts made to drive us into marginal actions will fail, especially as our determination to fight the US is solid. -An Open Letter: The Hizballah Program
The Lebanese resistance has already defeated the IOF on numerous occasions, the last of them in 2006. In the nearly 2 decades since their humiliating defeat, the Zionist entity has sagged under the weight of corruption and cannibalism endemic to neo-liberal capitalism. We have seen the results in Gaza, where the obese Goliath has been beaten to death by the homemade weapons of the Palestinian resistance.
Hezbollah is much stronger than the Palestinian resistance. According to Hassan Nasarallah, the group has around 100,000 fighters, compared to the 40,000 of the Palestinian resistance. Both of these numbers are difficult to verify due to the reality of a people’s war. Fighters are drawn from the ranks of the people and freely flow back and forth between the two. The extreme brutality of the Zionist entity means that the ranks of the fighters and their collaborators is always growing.
Unencumbered by the genocidal blockade which has crushed Gaza for over 15 years, Hezbollah has invested considerable resources into their defense. It is estimated that Hezbollah’s defense budget is over 1 billion USD. While this is still dwarfed by the IOF’s spending, we have already seen how the Zionists cope with homemade weapons from a militia with no budget at all. When and if the Zionists enter Lebanon, they will be be entering hell on earth.
Not only does Hezbollah have far greater numbers than the Palestinian resistance, but they also have more sophisticated weapons. They anywhere from 150-200,000 rockets stockpiled and ready for the invaders, along with huge numbers of anti-tank missiles, small arms, explosives, kamikaze drones and much more. However, weapons alone do not win a war, if that was the case the Zionists would have been victorious in Lebanon. Strategy and tactics matter far more than the weapons, and it is here that Hezbollah has made quantum leaps.
We can see the best evidence of this through Hezbollah’s systematic destruction of Zionist intelligence gathering facilities on and near the border. Using small, virtually undetectable recon drones, they have been able to map out the entire network of Zionist spy bases.
Hezbollah has already begun the attacks on this network, destroying some of the entity’s most prized equipment and blinding them to such an extent that rockets rain down on Northern Occupied Palestine without so much as a warning. Hezbollah can and will target this entire network in the event of a war, plus vital strategic facilities needed to maintain the apartheid state.
Their attacks have already demonstrated that they are capable of doing this, and both sides claim that Hezbollah is holding back it’s most powerful weapons. If Hezbollah can pluck out the Zionist’s eyes with their weakest and most primitive weapons, we can only imagine the damage they can do with their full strength. The entire Zionist entity is now within Hezbollah rocket range, and nothing will be spared if Netanyahu decides to invade Lebanon again.
While the Zionists are still believers in their theory of massive, shock and awe airstrikes, this strategy has never worked and will not work here. The south of Lebanon is now a fortified redoubt, a vast system of trenches and tunnels that run into the entity itself, allowing Hezbollah to carry out infiltration operations. The tunnel system is so extensive that it even contains factories, hospitals, barracks and kitchens. As we have seen in Gaza, even the American bombs which flow freely into the apartheid state cannot destroy these tunnels. After a year of genocidal war, the Gaza tunnel network; which is nowhere near as deep, large or sophisticated as Lebanon’s, remains in operation.
The Zionists claim, with no evidence, that these tunnels have been dug with the assistance of North Korea. While that claim is far fetched, Iranian involvement seems much more credible. The Iranian tunnel networks have survived decades of determined attacks by the Zionists, and Iran’s military capacity is only growing in both strength and sophistication. It is clear to anyone with eyes that the Zionists have no chance at all of defeating Hezbollah.
In order to understand how we got here, we need to understand Lebanon and Hezbollah themselves, how they emerged and who they represent in society.
Hezbollah emerged from the Lebanese civil war of the 1970s, when Zionist forces backed far-right Christian militias in an attempt to destabilize the state which housed most of the Palestinian diaspora. Throughout the 1960s, the majority Muslim Lebanese people had suffered under the regime of a far-right Christian dictator Camille Chamoun, who ruled over a cosmetic parliament. By the late 1960s, widespread demonstrations against his rule were suppressed by a fascist militia known as the Phalangists.
The situation came to a head when the Palestinian resistance was evicted from Jordan to Lebanon in 1970, giving the nascent Lebanese resistance a hardened cadre of soldiers. Now armed and ready, the Lebanese people rose up against the minority government.
As is typical for a Zionist proxy, the Phalangists were brutal. Within days of the fighting, they set up roadblocks and murdered every Muslim they could find. The organization quickly descended into little more than a death squad, pillaging and murdering it’s way through Lebanon with IOF backing. The Lebanese people and their Palestinian allies resisted, and the situation spiraled into a civil war. In the resulting 15 year long conflict, over 150,000 people died, the vast majority of them either massacred by pro-Zionist forces or killed by American and Zionist bombardments.
After their proxies were defeated in 1978, the Zionists invaded themselves. Despite a resolution from the UN Security Council (which includes the United States) ordering their withdrawal, they remained in the country for six years, operating from a 12 mile deep “security zone” on the border. The Zionists had to invade because in 1978, something happened which shook them to the core.
Peace broke out. The Zionists did everything in their power to change that.
Despite claims to the contrary, the PLO held to the ceasefire of 1978 even as the Zionists tried to goad them into a fight. Even after several assassinations of key PLO leaders, the ceasefire held. Post-war studies by the UN confirmed that the PLO did not launch a single attack from Lebanon.
Eventually, the frustrated Zionists expanded their operations in 1982, reaching Beirut before their army ran out of steam and was eventually ground down into a stalemate. The UN universally condemned this invasion, and demanded that Zionist forces withdraw. They did not, and in 1983 but the US led an intervention under the aegis of international peacekeeping.
In reality, the American troops did little beyond provide cover and protection for the far-right.
Under the watchful eye of the US garrison, the Zionists and their Phalangist allies carried out the most brutal massacre in the war, slaughtering over 3000 refugees in the Sabra neighborhood of Beirut and the nearby Shatila refugee camp. Zionist forces surrounded the camp and prevented the refugees from escaping as Phalangist death squads murdered everyone in sight. Years later, it was revealed that these attacks were carried out on the orders of defense minister Yhitzak Shamir, a former fascist terrorist who collaborated with the Nazis in WW2 and future prime minister.
Of course, the Zionists were only the trigger men. The reality is, this massacre was carried out under the watchful eye of American forces, who were only miles away. The entire camp was under the control of the American ambassador, and the presence of Zionist forces in Beirut was a violation of the ceasefire agreement. The American forces were not there to protect the people of Lebanon, but rather to protect the Zionists from the Lebanese.
In a single night the Israelis and the Phalangists executed thousands of our sons, women and children in Sabra and Shatilla. No international organization protested or denounced this ferocious massacre in an effective manner, a massacre perpetrated with the tacit accord of America's European allies, which had retreated a few days, maybe even a few hours earlier, from the Palestinian camps. The Lebanese defeatists accepted putting the camps under the protection of that crafty fox, the US envoy Philip Habib.- Hezbollah charter
The Lebanese people were not blind to this reality. Soon, attacks began against the sham US led peacekeeping force, and after a bombing of a US marine barracks killed over 300 occupants in 1983, the Marines ran with their tails between their legs.
In 1984, the Zionists withdrew back to the south of the country. The situation seemed to be trending in the right direction, with new, popular leader Rashid Karami taking control of the country. He was assassinated in 1987 by Christian fascists, and in 1989 the country fell under a military dictatorship led by Zionist collaborator Michel Aoun, who refused to recognize the elected government. With the help of the Syrian army, Aoun was defeated in 1990, eventually fleeing to the French Embassy. In 1991 a peace agreement was reached and the next year Lebanon had it’s first parliamentary elections in twenty years.
However, the Zionists continued to illegally occupy the south, operating out of a 12 mile deep “security zone” at the border. Hezbollah emerged from the civil war as the only force willing and able to continue fighting this occupation. Hezbollah proved that the people’s faith was well placed, launching constant attacks against the occupation, seeking to kill them via a death of a thousand cuts.
In 2000, the last Zionist forces withdrew back to occupied Palestine under the constant attacks of Hezbollah. Hezbollah gained massive popular support from this struggle, and when the Zionists returned in 2006 they found that the South of Lebanon was turned into an impenetrable fortress.
It should be mentioned that Hezbollah is not a fringe terrorist group, as we are led to believe. Beyond the fighters themselves, all of whom are drawn from the local people, Hezbollah needs support to keep their operations safe and hidden. The war in Lebanon is a people’s war, and without the people’s support it would be impossible. This has been the case since the beginning of the struggle, and it remains so today. While the players have changed, the Lebanese resistance still maintains trust and prestige among the people.
This trust and prestige is not given out of fear, it has been earned. Hezbollah fighters are not a terrorist rabble, they are professional and disciplined soldiers who are held to a high standard of ethical behavior. Unlike the far-right forces backed by the Zionists and their American masters, Hezbollah protects minorities of other faiths and heritages inside Lebanon.
Hezbollah more than just an army, it is also a political movement which currently sits in the ruling coalition of the Lebanese parliament. Since 2009, their March 8th Coalition controls roughly 60% of the seats in the Lebanese parliament. They are the legitimately elected government of Lebanon, and therefore they are not and cannot be terrorists.
Joining them are the Shi’a Amal Party, the Christian Amada Movement, the Sunni-led Future movement, and the Athiestic Progressive Socialist Party and more. Such a broad, multicultural coalition is almost unheard of in the region. Even in the Zionist entity, the so called “only democracy in the middle east”, Muslim and Christian parties are not allowed a say in the affairs of the explicitly Jewish state.
The Zionists murder and terrorize Muslims and assault Christians in the streets. Instances of religious violence, spurred by ultra-orthodox extremists, are on the rise thanks to the infiltration of fascist terrorists such as Itmar Ben-Givr and Belazel Smotrich into the Zionist regime. Of course, fascism and Zionism have always been linked since the very beginning. The only difference is now the Zionists, with the impunity given to them by America in the post-Soviet2 “end of history” era, can finally act out their fantasies.
Now, the terrorist settlers are finally getting a taste of reality. Their “cutting edge” weapons are being revealed as little more than expensive toys, too fragile to use in battle and too expensive to replace when lost. Even the Zionist drones, a weapon which should be cheap and almost disposable, are so complex and expensive that they can only build a handful.
They do not even make up for this with resilience, Hezbollah has already shot down and hijacked scores of them. Meanwhile, the resistance has thousands of small, undetectable reconnaissance drones which freely fly the skies over Occupied Palestine.
Their “invincible” iron dome has been defeated so many times we can no longer count, overwhelmed by swarms of homemade rockets, drones and missiles. Even their air force is finding it difficult to make any headway. Without their reconnaissance facilities to provide them with targeting, the Zionists can do little else but strike out at population centers. When the “most moral army in the world” invades Lebanon, they will be doing so blind. Perhaps it makes no difference to them, their openly stated strategy is already to kill everything that moves.
The attempts to terrorize the resistance into submission will fail once again, as they already have dozens of times before. The Zionists and their American masters are one trick ponies. The only strategy they know is maximum violence, the “shock and awe” tactics that led to millions of deaths in the Middle East over the past 20 years. The fact that all their interventions have failed is lost on them, after all, their primary goal was to generate profits for the arms dealers and bankers. Winning a war was always secondary.
What the western backed terrorists cannot understand is that they are fighting a people’s army. Every atrocity they carry out only makes Hezbollah stronger and more resolute in it’s resistance. They have done their worst, and they have already failed.
Now, intent on their own destruction, the Zionist entity charges to it’s death knowing that their defeat in Lebanon will allow them to trigger the Samson Option, forcing their American masters to choose between a direct intervention and a nuclear holocaust. Even this does not scare the resistance. What the spoiled Zionists, fat and happy from the theft of land and resources, cannot understand is that when people live in hell on earth, death no longer scares them.
WaPo has since censored this article, erasing all but the first two paragraphs from their main site. Nothing has come out to dispute this reporting, but since all American journalists operating inside the Zionist entity are under open and acknowledged IOF censorship, it is not hard to guess why this happened.
The USSR was the primary backer of the Palestinian and Lebanese resistance prior to it’s illegal dissolution against the will of it’s people in 1991.
