Now the truth has become clear, and there remains no doubt obscuring the vision from seeing the truth revealed, evident, and almost speaking out saying, "Here I am, recognize me"; for this is Britain, the mother of deceit and conspiracies, which entered the land of Arab Palestine. On that day, the commander of its army, upon setting foot on this holy land, declared, "This is the last Crusade." This statement was an announcement of the malice, hatred, and inherited ignorance that had fermented in the hearts of these invaders. Soon after, this state broke its promises to the Arabs, promises it had made to secure Arab assistance in World War I.
But it didn't stop there. It connived against the Arabs secretly and made another promise that contradicted its promises to the Arabs, this time to an irresponsible man from among the fanatical Zionists.
When Britain entered Palestine after World War I, it demonstrated that it was a state that could not break its promise, claiming that its promise was its lofty, pure, and unblemished honor. Therefore, it insisted on protecting the Jews who came from all corners of the world to occupy the land of Palestine. The news agencies continued to obscure the Arabs' rights in what the press published, while highlighting the false claims of the Jews so brightly that the entire world was deceived by the nonsense spun by these Zionist organizations.
The Arabs revolted, demanding their rights and wanting to expel these intruders from the land of their forefathers. Britain stood by the false claims of the Jews, savagely slaughtering the Arabs, torturing and humiliating them, and displacing them without respecting the sanctity of children, the elderly, or women. It imposed fines on villages and towns for the slightest reason, all the while giving free rein to the Jewish scoundrels, inciting them against the Arabs, facilitating their government control until they seized power, and protecting them from the Arabs' wrath and strength. Britain allowed them to dominate the Muslims and Christians of Palestine. It made its newspapers and news agencies broadcast lies to the world, depicting the Arabs as aggressors and oppressors, calling the free sons of Abraham and Ismail gangs, thieves, and cutthroats, slandering them with falsehoods, and concealing from the entire world the atrocities committed against the free fighters.
Britain continued its oppressive tyranny, working through deceit, lies, and misleading tactics, until World War II came. The devils among British politicians manipulated the Arabs to such an extent that they were deceived, believing that Britain would grant them justice and their rights once the war ended. Meanwhile, Britain recruited Jews into its armies, armed them, and brought them into Palestine, outwardly showing disdain for these actions while secretly intending betrayal. Thus, massive armies of Jews gathered in Palestine under the pretense of democracy and defense, and under the guise of persecution by the Nazis in Europe, among many other reasons embraced by British policy.
The war ended, and the strength of the Jews, who were the guardians and possessors of wealth, intensified. They supported Britain, and soon they revealed their power in America, where they were a significant force in presidential elections and controlled companies and finances across American economic sectors. They were also the masterminds behind the press, controlling advertisements, news agencies, and editorial staff. Consequently, America plunged into the path of Zionism, disregarding evident truths, its interests in Arab lands, its dignity among nations, and its historical reputation. America became even more oppressive towards the Arabs than Britain, and its press was more barbaric than any uncivilized brute.
This was the state of affairs with Britain and America. The United Nations sent a committee to Palestine to produce a report, and this report was an unparalleled act of wickedness. It was no surprise, for this committee was biased towards the Jews from the outset. It recommended or suggested the unjust division of Palestine between Arabs and Jews.
The most astonishing thing is to see Great Britain, with all its power, might, and oppression, humiliated by the Jewish aggression against its soldiers, the skinning of its officers, their hanging, kidnapping, and torture. Then came the partition decision proposed by the committee, and Britain claimed that it would withdraw from Palestine, leaving the Arabs and Jews to resolve this intractable problem that even the great British politicians could not solve!
What does Britain intend with this sudden withdrawal after being the root cause of the catastrophe that befell the Arabs, both Muslim and Christian, in Palestine and the entire Arab world? Undoubtedly, it aims for a fight to break out between the Arabs and Jews, allowing it to emerge unscathed from the conflict. Meanwhile, it will secretly aid the Jews with assistance and arms, and its fleet will covertly work to smuggle the scoundrels into Palestine.
As for America, it mocks the bereaved with its policy on this issue. It resorts to the United Nations, where its representative at the committee meeting to discuss the Palestine problem reveals the true face of this newly political state, stating that his government supports the partition plan for Palestine and the immigration policy proposed by the investigation committee in its report. Not only that, but this American policy also volunteers to suggest recruiting an international force of volunteers through the United Nations to oversee the implementation of the General Assembly's decisions.
What does America intend with this sudden intervention after having stayed away from extreme colonial policies and having numerous interests in Arab lands that it has worked hard to establish and stabilize?
There is no doubt that it seeks to replace Britain in carrying the burdens of colonialism now that the old colonizer has aged. Undoubtedly, it believes that the Jews are industrious, skilled, and wealthy and that if they establish a Jewish state in the heart of Arab lands, it will signal their takeover of all economic fields. If the Jews accomplish this, it will guarantee America the primary rights in the economic policies of the entire Middle East. Hence, America seeks reasons to intervene in the Palestine issue, supporting the Jews at the expense of its interests in Arab lands, aiming to provoke a fight between Arabs and Jews. It seizes the opportunity to aid the Jews with money, weapons, and men, then plays a deceitful game with Britain in the United Nations to recruit an international army to enforce the partition plan by force. This army would be composed of Zionist sympathizers whose influence has spread throughout America. On that day, America would enter the entire Middle East with a contract signed for it by the United Nations – essentially an international slave market.
Thus, the matter is as clear as daylight: these two colonial states adopt seemingly different but inherently similar approaches, pushing the Arabs to fight the Jews. Well-intentioned as they are.
We Arabs accept this vile provocation because we want to fight the Jews with relentless determination. Our blood is not more precious than our freedom, honor, and religion. Perhaps America has listened to those Jewish deceivers who claim that we threaten in vain and that our threats are empty bluster without substance. So, it chose to expose its vile intentions and align with the Jews, flattering them and playing into their hands.
Let America and Britain know that we are not like the Jews, nor like others who dare because they carry the seeds of betrayal, treachery, and annihilation. If they faced their enemies head-on, they would flee and be utterly defeated. The Arabs shed their blood for the sake of freedom, honor, and nobility, even though they lack abundant weaponry. There is a difference between a cowardly villain and a noble hero. The latter sees his lack of weapons as a fortification, a motivator, and an instigator, while the former, when faced with true bravery, loses heart, discards his gear and weapons, and flees in shame. This is the Jews, and this is us, O deceived ones.
Britain, America, and their press have openly declared their hatred towards us, so let us openly declare our hatred towards them. The Jews have become arrogant with their power and with the support of Britain and America, which endorse their aggression against us. We shall no longer show mercy to the Jews. We pitied them when they were persecuted, sheltered them when they were displaced, and welcomed them into our lands when they were expelled by the old Christian nations like rabid dogs. But they denied and forgot all that, and they bit the hand that wiped their pains and wounds throughout the ages. Well done, Jews, for you have awakened us from our slumber, making it possible for us to save the world sooner or later from the rampage of this generation. God purified their ancestors and cursed their descendants, a curse that remains until God inherits the earth and everyone on it.
