Palestinians Continue ‘Great March of Return’ While Arab Regimes Dally With Israel

By: Kayhan Int’l 

While the oppressed Palestinian people, especially those of besieged Gaza, have continued for the past several months their indomitable rallies for eventual goal of liberation of their usurped homeland, the regimes ruling the Persian Gulf states are vying with each other to establish diplomatic ties with the illegal Zionist entity.

So far 221 Palestinians of Gaza have been martyred since the movement dubbed the "Great March of Return” started some seven months ago. Besides the sporadic firing of homemade rockets at Zionist positions in retaliation for Israel’s crimes, the defenders have come with such novel measures as the launching of incendiary balloons and kites that have wreaked havoc on the occupiers and their farmlands.
The protests have drawn tens of thousands of people on Fridays, the weekly holiday, after holding of the Friday congregations prayers.
It is now over 70 years since the illegal planting of the Zionist entity on Palestinian soil and the driven into exile of some seven hundred thousand Palestinian men, women in children, but the third and even the fourth generation of the displaced, have refused to yield to the rule of the illegal east European migrants over their homeland.
As a result, despite the intense efforts of the West to create despair and despondency, the Palestinians have continued the demand for their right to return to their ancestral homes from which they were driven by the Zionists in 1948.
This iron resolve shows that the struggle for liberation of Palestine is a grassroots movement of the sons of the soil, who in spite of being almost bare-fisted are determined to confront the heavily-armed Israelis.
On the other hand, in the Persian Gulf region, the spurious states created by the British and now sitting snugly in the American lap, are not just indifferent to the Palestinian cause after years of lip-service coupled with backstabbing, but now feel no inhibitions to dance openly with the Zionist devils and make a deal with Israel over the heads of the oppressed Palestinians.

This means, the hereditary regimes that do not represent the people they rule, and feel indebted to the imperialists – formally the British and now the Americans – for having installed them as rulers and protectors of their unrepresentative rule in the spurious oil-rich states, have no respect for even fellow Arabs, let alone any regard for Islam and Muslim unity.
If these regimes were really Muslim as they claim, they would never have dallied with the Zionists and cooperated in the grand American-Israeli plan to destabilize the entire region by murdering fellow Arabs and Muslims on a grand scale.
It is obvious the failure of this grand plan to topple the governments of Iraq and Syria through takfiri terrorists, along with their inability to bring the Yemeni people to their knees, have created panic in the ranks of the Saudi, Emirati and Bahraini regimes.
Terrified at the idea of the ultimate victory of the people of Syria, Lebanon, Palestine, Iraq, Yemen, Bahrain, and the whole of oil-rich Arabia, the totalitarian Arab regimes have decided to gang up with the equally scared-to-death Zionist entity, they think they can avert the inevitable by blaming the Islamic Republic for their defeats.
In contrast to these murderous regimes, which brutally kill their own dissident citizens, the unarmed or lightly armed Palestinian people are continuing their struggle against the Zionists with full confidence that one day they will be victorious in the face of heavy odds, as was demonstrated by the people of Iran and is being shown by the people of Yemen, Syria, Iraq, Lebanon, and to a lesser extent, Bahrain.
Whether the US and the West like it or not, the Palestinians have a date with destiny and will soon be masters of their own ancestral homeland, including the holy city of Bayt al-Moqaddas, while the reactionary Arab regimes end up for good in the dustbin of history. 

Victorious Iran Has Vanquished US at Every Turn

By: S. Nawabzadeh

A glance at the past four decades of conflict shows that the US has always been the loser, while victory belonged to the Islamic Republic of Iran. 

This was the gist of the message of the Leader of the Islamic Revolution during the audience he granted yesterday to a huge gathering of students on the eve of the historic 4th of November (Aban 13), a day on the which the Iranian people have delivered teeth-smashing blows to Uncle Sam – the last time in 1979 when the US embassy in Tehran which had long ceased to be a diplomatic mission and was operating as a den of spies for the whole region, was taken over by revolutionary students following the path of the Father of the Islamic Revolution, Imam Khomeini, in order to pre-empt the plot to overthrow the Islamic Republic.

Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei also noted the fact that the US which has hatched in vain every imaginable plot against the Islamic Republic, including political, economic, military, cultural and media, is now in a very weak position vis-à-vis Iran and the Iranian people compared to forty years ago.

Today, as eyes of the whole world are glued to Iran, where massive rallies are underway throughout the country, especially in front of the former American espionage den in Tehran that is echoing with vociferous chants of God’s Greatness (Allah-o Akbar), "Death to the US”, "Death to the Zionist entity”, and "hayhat minna az-Zilla” (never to humiliation), Donald Trump the Don Quixote in the White House is about to commit another blunder by imposing illegal sanctions on Iran’s oil and banking transactions which will badly boomerang on Washington.

Those still in doubt about the string of US failures against Iran and the Iranian people ought to open their eyes to the power and prestige of the Islamic Republic in the region today.

The US is becoming more and more isolated on the world scene, even among its traditional European allies, while Iran’s principled policies have earned the country trading partners unafraid of American threats to penalize them for doing business with the Islamic Republic.

True, mosquito bites could be called irritants but these do not prevent manufacture of antidotes to reduce or wipe out malaria and related diseases.  

To be more precise, while the US is in a declining and disgraced state, the Islamic Republic continues its march toward pinnacles of progress, after having weathered since 1979 such intricate plots as the airborne Operation Eagle Claw that was miraculously destroyed by the sands of Tabas, the 8-year war imposed by American agent Saddam of the repressive Ba’th minority regime of Baghdad, the freezing of scores of billions of dollars in US banks that did not reduce Iran to penury, the assassination of senior officials and common people by the MKO terrorists that further disgraced these hypocrites, the economic sanctions which failed to halt Iran’s drive for mastering high tech industries (medical sciences, nano, the nuclear fuel cycle, aerospace, ballistic missile, etc.), the cultural onslaught which couldn’t undermine the faith and spiritual values of the nation, the media campaign that fizzled out as the Iranian media networks in English, Arabic, Spanish, French, Urdu, and Turkish attracted audiences the world over, the target killing of scientists that exposed US cowardice, the terrorist bid to take over Syria and Iraq that was thwarted by the national armies and the people’s militias, Iran trained on request from the two countries, and last but not the least Saudi Arabia’s miserable failure in defeating the popular Ansarallah Movement.

The list is long and outside the scope of the Viewpoint Column of Kayhan International.

It means, the latest desperate attempt of Trump to choose November 4 to impose another set of illegal sanctions on Iran is no more than a psychological measure rather than any practicability of such sanctions, which, judging by the Leader of the Islamic Revolution’s latest remarks, is further proof of the political-intellectual-moral bankruptcy of Washington, whose costly weapons and well trained terrorists and terrorist regimes, are no match for the popular forces of regional countries trained by Iranian advisors.

In short, November 4, called the Day of National Campaign against Global Arrogance, is a day of triumph for the aspirations of the Iranian people, whose timely move in 1979 to take over the US den of spies prevented the overthrow of the Islamic Republic and rubbed into dirt the American nose. Uncle Sam’s bloodied nose looks so awful today that no amount of cosmetic surgery by Trump and team will ever set it right, while the free world rightly feels indebted to the Islamic Republic for delivering them from the tentacles of the US, whose nose now appears to be on the verge of being cut off for good by Donald Trump.
