A Crux of Voices
In a time when the Islamic and Arab nations are facing severe crises, some voices emerge questioning the Palestinian resistance's steadfastness and bewilderingly ask: what victory has "Hamas" achieved when Gaza has been completely destroyed and 46,000 people have been killed?!
The Essence of Conflict
Perhaps these voices have overlooked the essence of the conflict with the "Israeli" occupation, which is not merely a struggle over land or influence, but a struggle between truth and falsehood, between the will for liberation and the project of occupation.
Historical Parallels of Steadfastness
Islamic history is filled with great battles where Muslims suffered heavy losses in lives and property, yet these battles are recorded in the pages of history as models of victory and steadfastness.
Battle of Uhud
Among the most notable of these battles is the Battle of "Uhud," where Muslims lost 70 martyrs, and many companions were severely wounded. Nevertheless, it was a turning point in building the Islamic nation, proving that material defeat is not the end of the road, but rather a lesson that strengthens the nation's immunity and fortifies its will.
Battle of Mu’tah
Similarly, in the Battle of "Mu’tah," Muslims faced a massive Roman army and suffered significant losses compared to their small number, yet history recorded the bravery of their leaders who were martyred one after another, and the steadfastness of Khalid ibn al-Walid, who conducted a strategic withdrawal that saved the Muslim army from annihilation.
Battle of Hunayn
In the Battle of "Hunayn," when Muslims faced an initial defeat due to an ambush, they returned to steadfastness and victory despite the losses. This proves that true victory lies in resilience after hardships, not in fleeting quick victories.
Threshold of True Victory
Victory in battles is not merely a matter of tallied numbers, but steadfastness on principles and strength in confronting tyranny.
Palestinian Resistance
The Palestinian resistance, despite the siege and destruction, has managed to shift the balance of power in its struggle against the "Israeli" occupation with simple means and a steadfast will, proving that the Zionist war machine is incapable of imposing surrender on a defenseless people who believe in their rights.
Moral Implications of Gaza's Destruction
The destruction of Gaza is merely evidence of the occupation's moral failure, as every bomb dropped on Gaza exposes the double standards of the world and reveals the hollowness of the moral claims of the supporters of the occupation.
Immortalizing Martyrs
As for the souls that ascend, they are fuel for victory; martyrs do not die, but are immortalized as symbols of resilience, inspiring future generations to struggle for freedom.
Misjudgment and Objective Victory
Those who stand with the "Israeli" occupation and justify its crimes ignore that resistance is not a choice, but a duty for every occupied nation. The victory that Gaza has achieved is not measured by the destruction of buildings or the falling of martyrs but in keeping the cause alive in the conscience of the world, demonstrating that the occupation has not been able to break the will of resistance, and that free peoples do not surrender no matter the sacrifices.
Victory Beyond Losses
Measuring victory solely by material destruction reflects a narrow perspective and a lack of understanding of the meaning of steadfastness. If history were written only based on the number of deaths, then the major battles of Islam, where Muslims lost many lives, would not today be considered examples of victory and construction.
Steadfastness as True Victory
True victory lies in steadfastness on principles and confronting the occupation regardless of the sacrifices. Gaza today is not merely a piece of land, but a symbol for the entire Islamic nation. Those who deny its steadfastness or doubt its victory are betraying the history of a nation that has stood firm against the greatest empires and recorded the most significant victories despite the pain.
