Defeat Awaits You in Gaza

by Dr. Abdul-Sattar Kassem

The deputy prime minister of the Zionist entity, Silvan Shalom, spoke of the possibility of waging war on Gaza in order to end the situation there once and for all.

And I say to him: go ahead, if you have the courage, and if you carry within you the confidence of a victor.

Israel already tested its strength in the war of winter 2008/2009, and it knows, as the whole world knows, that it caused a great deal of destruction and killing, but it also knows that the outcomes of wars are not measured by the losses suffered on this side or that, but by the extent to which their goals are achieved. What the Zionists did in Gaza was bomb the stones, the trees, and the people, and destroy and wreck everything in sight, but their hope of changing the situation in Gaza was disappointed and defeated. The people of Gaza had no advanced missiles, aircraft, or tanks in their hands; what they had within them was an unbending will, strong faith, and matchless courage, armed with light weapons that bear no comparison to what the Zionist army possesses.

…relaxation and complacency have shown themselves. And just as the Zionists stay up through the night, joining night to day as they prepare for battle, so too does the Palestinian people in Gaza. The age of speeches and fiery declarations has passed, and seriousness, work, vigilance, activity, and knowledge have taken the place of improvisation and bluster.

The Zionists also know that Gaza is not alone, that the balance of power in the region has changed considerably, and that their threats no longer strike terror into hearts. Shalom knows that pulling the trigger is no longer a game, and that the price the Zionist entity might pay is not merely a matter of casualties, but touches on its very existence.

The Zionists must be reminded of those days when they used to strike first and issue their threats afterward. Those days are gone, and now you must first rasp your throats with threats before you dare to act.
