They will not triumph for their religion, their nationality, or their humanity.


Written by: Rasim Obeidat

It seems that Imam Abdul-Malik al-Houthi came in a bad and wicked Arab era, as described by the late great Algerian novelist Tahar Wattar. He calls on Arab leaders to champion their religion, and if they are unable to, then to champion their nationalism, and if they are unable to, then to champion their humanity.
These rulers, the leaders of the official Arab regime, O Imam, have reached the stage of humiliation and loss of will and independent decision-making. They are in absolute subservience to America and complete surrender to Israel. Therefore, they are not victorious because of their religion, nationality, or humanity. They have become Arabs who have lost sight and insight. They have become Arabs outside of rational human history. They have become Arabs of humiliation and disgrace, Arabs of submission and obedience, Arabs who sold their homelands in order to protect their thrones.
During the time of slavery, the slaves revolted and were liberated from their slavery. The liberator of slaves, Spartacus, led the slaves towards freedom from slavery. However, in this nation, we witness tribal and clan panics in order to perpetuate slavery, ignorance and backwardness, in order to deepen the state of division and discord among the peoples of the nation, and to create internal sectarian and denominational strife among them, in order to create blood feuds and rivers of blood among the components of its peoples, which are difficult to heal, overcome or easily bypass.
Yes, what happened and is happening to our Arab nation and peoples is the result of long-term colonial projects and schemes and societal penetration operations that have struck at the consciousness of our societies and our nation, such that this consciousness has become distorted, reaching the point of restricting the minds. This process and brainwashing of the peoples and elites has been employed by trembling and servile regimes that have put their interests and positions above the interests of the nation and have employed their money, sheikhs, religious authorities, media outlets and elites to serve projects of spreading discord among the sons of the nation and giving priority to regionalism over nationalism, and inventing imaginary enemies instead of real enemies.
What we are witnessing is a continuation of the nation’s self-destruction projects. What we are witnessing of tribal and clan panics and Emirati projects is to serve those who want to control the nation and the region, plunder its resources and wealth, dismantle its geography and reconstruct it in a way that serves their interests, goals and malicious plans. They delude the peoples of the region that normalization and the Abrahamic peace are for the development, well-being and progress of the peoples. The reality of the countries that joined the normalization and what is known as the Abrahamic Peace Accords, and what is known as the peace agreements, indicates the extent of the state of humiliation and degradation that the peoples of those countries are living in, and the high rates of their hunger and poverty. They say to Lebanon and threaten it with disappearing from the map that you must seize the opportunity because the world around you is changing rapidly, and do not let the opportunity pass you by. They give it an example of what is happening in Syria, as an indication of development and change, as this change led to humiliation, degradation, devastation, destruction and selling out of the homeland, which Syria has not witnessed throughout its history. This is how they want Lebanon and the rest of the Arab countries to be, leaders Kings, princes, a flag, anthem, guards, and a piece of land from which Israel takes whatever it wants for its security, and its airspace is violated by it, and it has no right to build a strong army or possess advanced weapons, which are being manufactured. They want them to live without dignity and without real independence. They want them to remain dependents. Their only concern is their thrones, positions, clans, and tribes. They do not want them to have any form of unity, or control over their resources and wealth.
They want them to respond to Israel when it asks them to give up any title of sovereignty, in favor of any other title it requests, and likewise whenever it occupies a piece of land, it demands the occupation of more, under the pretext and excuse of protecting its security. This security requires the destruction of all the armies of the Arab countries, and preventing them from building a strong army or possessing and manufacturing strategic weapons. It is also required that these countries work in the service of Israel’s security, and prevent any form of resistance against it.
What we are seeing now is that an entire people in the Gaza Strip is facing starvation, without any Arab country raising its voice and saying, “We will not allow this people to die, and we will force the entry of humanitarian aid, food, medicine, and fuel to operate hospitals and electric generators.” But when it does not have its own decision or will, it is incapable of any action or practical step, except for statements of condemnation and denunciation, which have no basis in reality.
Imagine that those who go to receive humanitarian aid are exposed to death traps, by those who claim to be working to help these starving people, where they are shot, and more than 900 martyrs and 6,000 wounded are killed by the bullets of the occupation army and American contractors supervising the distribution of this aid.
I am certain that if the Arab regimes had the will and courage of the Yemenis, and the boldness, principles, and steadfastness of their leadership, they would have been able to change all the equations in the region. Yemen, which does not possess trillions of dollars or oil and gas wells, has created and established rules of engagement and deterrence equations, not only with Israel, but also with America, whose president has acknowledged the strength and courage of the Ansar Allah group. These people, wearing flip-flops and Zenobia, imposed their conditions on America in the Red Sea, and have become the decision-makers in the seas and waterways. It is sufficient for America to sign an agreement with them, which would prevent its ships, warships, and destroyers from being targeted in the Arabian Sea and the Red Sea by Yemeni missiles and drones, in exchange for continuing its support war against the Gaza Strip, through the continuation of the economic naval blockade, which includes all ships carrying goods to Israeli ports. This blockade has led to the bankruptcy and closure of the port of Eilat (Umm al-Rashrash).
Yemen continued to launch its ballistic and hypersonic missiles and its attack drones deep into the occupying state, targeting strategic and vital military, security and economic targets, imposing an air blockade on Lod Airport, and inflicting heavy economic losses on Israel.
The Arab countries of the official Arab regime not only refrained from providing any support or assistance to the Gaza Strip, including the entry of humanitarian aid, but a number of countries of this regime also compensated Israel for its economic losses resulting from the Yemeni blockade by transporting vegetables, fruits and other products to it via land lines.
Therefore, the official Arab regimes, some of which chose to conclude “peace” agreements with Israel, another part joined what is known as the Abrahamic Peace and normalization, and another group is waiting its turn to enter into the Abrahamic “peace” alliance and normalization, these regimes, with their various names, cannot triumph for their religion, nationalism, or Arabism. Rather, they do not want the Yemeni and Palestinian models – the resistance of the Gaza Strip, Hezbollah, and the Popular Mobilization Forces – to be generalized in the Arab region, as they see them as a threat to them, their thrones, interests, and privileges.
