Get Rid Of The “Islamic Label” For The Struggle Of The Palestinians Is Not About Any Religion But For National Liberation From Zionist Anglo-American Oppression & Occupation

Over the years, I have held back my criticisms of the Palestinian Authority in the hope that they would strive to unite the Palestinian people to defeat Zionist Israel.

The last few years have witnessed the complete betrayal of the Palestinian liberation struggle by the so-called President of the Palestinian Authority, Mahmoud Abbas, the Zionist Anglo-American stooge! There were betrayals in the past but none so blatant and shameful as that of recent years, especially by this stooge!

This man is a traitor to the heroic struggle of the entire Palestinian nation. He must be brought to trial before a War Crimes Tribunal together with his criminal masters, Ariel Sharon, Ehud Barack etc. for the wanton slaughter of the people of Gaza and the West Bank.

In the last Palestinian General Elections, the majority of the people in Gaza voted for the Hamas government and booted out the corrupt Fatah-led government. It is not for us to judge the people’s choice. They have chosen and the world must respect that choice. This is the will of the people of Gaza.

Since the victory of the Hamas government, the Fatah leadership have collaborated with the Zionist leaders and other Arab leaders to undermine the popular will of the people of Gaza and the Hamas government.

This treachery by the Arab regimes in collusion with Mahmoud Abbas is a reflection of their fear that sooner or later the people in the Middle East will launch armed rebellion against their corrupt rule.

Their fear intensified when Lebanon under the leadership of Hizbullah struck a devastating blow to Israel’s grand design in the 2nd Lebanon War. Driven by panic and insecurity they colluded and connived with the Zionist Anglo-American war party to destroy the national liberation struggle of the Palestinian people.

The so-called Islamic nations never ceased to call for a jihad against the Zionist Anglo-American war party so as to cover-up their true intentions. They are all paying mere lip-service. Al-Qaeda, a CIA construct is financed by the Saudi regime and the War on Terror is but a cover to prolong the rule of corrupt Arab regimes in collusion with the Zionist Anglo-American war party.

The strategic mistake of the Palestinian Liberation Movement was their agreement with the Zionist Anglo-American war party to establish the Palestinian Authority, which was given a façade of “government authority” in exchange for the abandonment of armed struggle and the recognition by the Zionist Anglo-American colonial powers of their status.

Since that time, the Palestinian people have been living on hand-outs from countries near and far which have vested interests in the Middle East. The armed struggle collapsed and though there were the two Intifadas, these struggles were mere tactical resistance devoid of any strategic objectives. They were more of an expression of frustration and hopelessness than a coordinated strategic resistance with clear military and political objectives.

In fact they were devoid of political objectives. The leadership is even fearful of announcing their independence from Zionist Israel! So what is the use of having a “government” when it is not a government of an independent state but a Bantustan!

The sacrifices of thousands of young heroic fighters were betrayed by the Palestinian leadership.

The on / off armed resistance served and continue to serve both the interests of Israel and the corrupt Palestinian Authority Leadership. In the case of the former, the Zionists used the alleged threat to its survival to obtain more military aid from the US to further oppress the Palestinians and occupy the Holy Land. For the Palestinian Authority, the state-of-war tension enables its leaders to hold on to power and maintain the status quo.

The recent statement from the Fatah leadership that if Israel succeeds in liquidating the Hamas government, they would be ready to re-enter Gaza and assume power again, is the irrefutable evidence that Mahmoud Abbas and his subservient entourage are complicit in this wanton slaughter of their fellow Palestinians in Gaza.

I have often said that the Palestinians should learn from the experience of the valiant and heroic struggle of the Vietnamese people against the US if they desire final victory over the Zionist Anglo-American war party.

Palestinians must realize that it counts for nothing to be recognized by the UN and or countries supposedly sympathetic to its cause. If the Palestinian people need another country to emulate, look no further than Cuba. Years of sanctions by the Western powers have not cowed the people and although they may not have all the luxuries of the so-called developed nations, they have their independence and sovereignty and did not have to rely on hand-outs to survive.

What matters is total military victory in the battlefield and the establishment of the single state of Palestine. Such a state derives its own legitimacy, a legitimacy based on the just struggle for liberation and self-determination from fascist occupation and oppression.

The Palestinian people should turn their backs on the opportunistic and corrupt Arab regimes and all the so-called Islamic nations, and reject all their financial aid. This is because your resistance against the Zionist Anglo-American war party has indirectly prolonged the corrupt rule of these Arab and Islamic regimes.

The struggle of the Palestinian people is not the struggle of only the Palestinians of the Islamic faith. Palestinians of other faiths are in this heroic struggle as well. It is a struggle that cut across all faiths, race and culture. Palestinians should not fall into the trap of identifying itself with any specific religion. The Palestinian struggle is a glorious struggle for liberation and independence and the return to their rightful land and homes! Do not let the corrupt Arab regimes and so-called Islamic nations hijack your struggle for Islam.

It is these nations that have financed Muslim extremists to provide the Zionist Anglo-American war party a pretext to launch the War on Terror. And by their deviousness, they have succeeded in lumping your just struggle as “terrorism” and your heroic resistance army as “terrorists”.

This is the most evil propaganda waged against the Palestinian people. Get rid of the “Islamic label” for the struggle of liberation, dignity and independence has nothing to do with any specific religion. Look to the Vietnamese. The majority of the people are of the Buddhist faith but they never aligned their struggles as one between Buddhism and American Imperialism. It was a struggle for national liberation from colonial oppression! Period!

Justice and truth will be the Palestinians’ strongest allies, not hand-outs with strings attached. Resist the infection of corruption and the subservience of the Arab regimes and the so-called Islamic Nations to the Zionist Anglo-American war party.

Surviving without such hand-outs will not be easy. The struggle will initially be doubly hard and painful, but once the Palestinian people are focused on the right strategy, victory is assured.

The Arab and the so-called Islamic Nations have all betrayed your struggle. Do not mistake their token gesture of financial assistance and statements of support as genuine. These regimes have their own agendas and often they exploit your heroic struggle for domestic political agendas!

The reason is simple.

These regimes cannot be seen not to support your struggle as otherwise they would be condemned by their citizens. On the other hand, these cowards and hypocrites fear that in the event your heroic struggle succeeds, their own citizens may resort to armed struggle to seek justice and rid their country of corruption and feudal culture.

In the circumstances, Palestinians should not place their survival in the hands of these corrupt regimes. Do not be swayed by their call for a Jihad. It is easy to make such calls, but you need only to examine their actions in the last fifty years – which Arab or Islamic Nation have sent their so-called armies to assist your struggle?

The 1967 and 1973 wars against Israel were not waged for the liberation of Palestine, but for their own survival and insidious bargains with the devil incarnate – the Presidents and Prime Ministers of US and UK respectively!

Palestine and Palestinians have been made the “bargaining tools” of the corrupt Arab and Islamic Nations vis-à-vis the Western powers who lust for the oil riches – mere pawns in the geo-political chessboard!

Better to die with dignity than to live a life of slavery under the Zionist Anglo-American oppression and occupation.

There is but one way to succeed and achieve total victory:

SELF-RELIANCE AND UTMOST FAITH IN YOUR OWN STRENGTH AND RESILIENCE.

THE PATH IS CLEAR – WAGE PEOPLE’S WAR UNTIL TOTAL VICTORY.
