Afrasianet - Dr. Mohammed Halasa - The position of the Arab nation on the killing taking place in Gaza did not make a difference at a crucial historical moment, so its positions on what is happening came as a demarcation of the Arab powerlessness, which has reached levels unacceptable to common sense.
It was reported in al-Athar that a man asked Muhammad ibn Matrouh al-'Araj: Do you find in some books that hell will destroy the end of time? He replied: How miserable you are if you rely on its ruin.
Perhaps the observer of what is going on in some Arab media and most Arab social networking sites related to the internal American situation after the election of President Trump and the number of controversial decisions he made, and what is related to the internal Israeli situation of demonstrations and protests related to the war on Gaza, and the encroachment of Netanyahu and his government on Israeli society and turning their backs on their demands, does not stray far in essence from the idea of "relying on the ruin of hell" for salvation.
All the Arabs, who are powerless today, wish is for God to "strike the oppressors with the oppressors" and "bring us out of their hands safely", or "make their destruction in their management"! These are blatant metaphors for gross helplessness.
It is true that supplication is the believer's weapon at all times, which is the origin of worship, and the Sunnah of the Prophet pointed to its status and importance, and it is an easy worship that every person can do, but the prayer of "helplessness and weakness" in the current Arab situation does not stem from an imposed structural weakness, but it is a voluntary weakness chosen and accepted by the nation for itself while it owns tractor armies, and its arsenals are full of weapons, equipment, battleships and aircraft, and has enormous economic potential, oil, gas and investments, and masses in millions if they shouted with one voice to terrify the colonial West The usurping entity, if it "spat on Israel, will drown it", but everything is premeditated, peoples and regimes.
A shameful and sad Arab reality and a state of weakness, weakness and psychological susceptibility to defeat, and the belief that there is no way to confront America and Israel, and sufficiency with insults and prayers against them.
Perhaps the escalating Zionist massacres against the people of Gaza, and Israel's repeated attacks on Lebanon and Syria, are ultimately the result of Arab silence and even indifference, as the Zionists and Americans knew that the Arabs are nothing but a sound phenomenon, and that there are no horses for the Arabs to ride and no swords for them to famous, their swords are wood and their horses are wood. There is no nation whose dignity has been soaked in dust and nadir, as is happening with the Arab nation today, for there is nothing we master except division and inter-wars, so we provided all those who opposed us with strength, because of our division and weakness. We went along with sectarianism, and ran after sectarian, sectarian and regional trifles.
At a time when Israel is exposing, violating and killing in some rooms of the Arab House, the majority of Arab brothers are hiding, each in his room standing behind his door, watching, watching, hearing, seeing, "calling." Most of the brothers stand and do not lift a finger, if they do not cooperate, recognize, normalize and reconcile the same enemy that kills their brothers, in Palestine, Lebanon, Syria and Yemen.
It is only a few denunciations and supplications that come out timidly, while some find no support for their brother other than begging for help from America, the official sponsor of the killing, or in the case of "Arab anger", the call against America and cursing it, and perhaps wishing that "Trump's reckless behavior will turn against it and Israel."
Arabs today are powerless, leaning on praying exclusively to do them justice for what happened to them of weakness and humiliation, and the Arab leaders imagine to their people that the ability is only pure possibilities, beliefs and illusions, but the inability and patience are certainty in itself, and therefore the inability overwhelmed and tyrannized us inaction.
Most of what we master today, except from the womb of my Lord, is dominated by verbal and rhetorical formulations, such as demands, appeals, calls and declarations of support, in the almost complete absence of any clear practical steps or paths capable of action and influence that the nation is supposed to undertake. The prayers of the peoples and the condemnation by the regimes are only a miserable attempt to lift the embarrassment, after the war of extermination waged by the "state" of occupation against the Palestinian people has created an unprecedented global moral and political situation, at a time when the protests, which Arab countries about creating a similar situation.
The victims who rise today in the war of extermination waged by Israel with open Western complicity and blatant Arab silence have become a broad title for a structural crisis that penetrates the various joints of the Arab system and the Arab peoples, revealing their inability and incompetence to face the grave challenges facing their countries.
An entire nation with its power, promise, and equipment is unable not to liberate Palestine "God forbid", but to open a gap, even a small one, in the wall of Israeli intransigence, as Israel still rejects the ceasefire and continues its aggression in flagrant defiance of Muslims and Arabs, their dignity and humanity. Even those who normalized with Israel and built close relations with it could not even take advantage of their "good" relationship with it to prevent it from continuing the incursion, or at least to mitigate the war of starvation practiced against the people of Israel. Gaza. The rejection of any link between the Gaza war and the Arab-Israeli normalization agreements, at this time, only means confirming the legitimacy of the occupation, which is a political return, which the occupation will undoubtedly seek to exploit, in one way or another, after the ceasefire and the end of the war.
This is how Israel deals with Arabs who extend their hand to it, whether they are reconciled or forced, and its mouthpiece says "you are nothing", and it and its protectors in the West seek by all means so that Israel becomes a policeman in the region, with a voice and a scepter, and perhaps a natural part of the region, which the Arabs love and claim to love, and then utter them at any defining moment in time and place.
Unfortunately, the position of the Arab nation towards the killer that makes the difference did not occur at a historical moment in which it lives, and did not take into account its interest, capabilities and future, so its positions, official and popular, came to mark the Arab powerlessness, which reached levels that are not accepted by the normal instinct of any creature on earth.
The status quo means backwardness, fragmentation, weakness, and absolute dependence, and Israel is aware of this Arab impotence, which when the West established it on the land of Palestine in 1948 as a result of that deficit, as it is today one of its causes. The Arabs should know that Israel is an imminent danger, not only to Palestine, Lebanon and Syria, but to the entire Arab presence, and its ambitions for the establishment of its great state still haunted it, and what Ben Gvir, Smotrich and other far-right leaders in Israel have said about the borders of their "state." Only a simple indication of what the Arabs can expect unless they wake up and fortify themselves with their unity, strength and common defense, and join their peoples as their shield of protection, the Zionist ambitions will swallow them, and their hour they will say, "We ate the day the white bull ate."
We must all be aware that "Israel" is a state that has its own colonial dream for the region, and has its Zionist project to restore the "Land of Israel", and this Arab weakness, humiliation, helplessness, surrender and sufficiency with spectator seats for these terrible atrocities, and genocide that expands and expands from one Arab city to another, without anyone moving a finger for it, is really the great plight of the Arabs and their great calamity.
We will not be defeated by Israel unless we are first dominated by the defeatability within us and we succumb to the slogan: "There is no more possible than it was." Are we aware that defeat begins first from our insides and our ability to defeat, it was reported that a man asked one of them: Why whenever I fought a fight I won it?, He replied: "Myself tells me that I am the overcomer, and the same speaks to him that I am the overcomer, so I and himself enter him and we overcome him .
