🇵🇸 Martyr Rafaat Alareer on the Zionist occupation’s killing for no reason ⬇️

For more than a year, I was haunted by how I walked, because what does it mean to walk suspiciously?

♦️The extreme fear and anxiety that any minor action might be seen as a threat by the occupying terrorist forces, where even simple behaviours are scrutinized and judged, is a harsh reality for all Palestinians. 🔴 @haqqintel

Bismihi Ta’ala ‎انا لله و انا البه راجعون ‎الا لعنت الله علي القوم الظالمين Dear Ulema, Scholars, Priests, Church leaders and Community leaders. It has been 6 months since the Zionist regime are continuously violating the International Law, and are committing crimes that are not witnessed in World History, killings have reached a staggering 40,000 innocent children, elderly, women, and families are continuously being driven out of their homes and are being displaced! Most communities across the world are filled with sorrow and they are chanting in support of the oppressed, major cities are having large number of demonstrations and protests. Students in well recognised universities have understood their responsibilities, as we can all hear their chants, but instead of listening to their own citizens, they are in return arrested and beaten, taken to prison and many are excluded from their universities. Recently some signs of hope are coming to light, where many European countries have now started to condemn the oppressors and finally recognise Palestine as a country of their own! But unfortunately it pains me immensely, that mosques, temples and churches in this country remain silent. There may be a few mosques that organise protests, but those who are responsible for the communities are nowhere to be seen, I really feel ashamed because the majority of us are just sitting in our Islamic centres or churches, like as if we have no relation to the suffering of the oppressed! Why are these places of worship being silenced by the community leaders, what is the role and the responsibility of these leaders, it is appalling to say the least that as the massacres continue, we will continue to sit back as clerics of faith while this international tragedy happens, in front of our eyes! I wanted to remind all clerics, of a beautiful phrase that was narrated from Imam of Al Aqsa mosque saying: ‘If after martyrdom of 35,000 or more we still don't wake up then what is the use of all these sermons and lectures or mosques, and what is use of all these rituals!’ Having such centres that are quiet and too scared to help the oppressed community are actually empty and holly, and they are only being used as a place to perform rituals! For the leaders of the community, I urge you to think and reflect about the day where you will have to answer to the courtyard of God, come out of your centres and make a stand, your stance will be a call to save the oppressed from the crimes that are taking place in front of the eyes, this is not only an Islamic issue, but more importantly it is a humanitarian issue We need to make that stand, please wake up! Finally, for those who claim the sect of Ali ibn Abi Talib (AS), for those who cry for Hussain Ibn Ali (AS), if Imam Hussain and his family was being brutally martyred in Karbala, whilst majority heard this injustice and continued to perform their religion and rituals, they were condemned by the Imams, “Curse be upon the nation that continued to hear the atrocities committed against Hussain Ibn Ali, and they remained indifferent to his killing” سلام الله على عباد الله الصالحين، و الشهداء و الصديقين Ghulam Hurr Shabbiri ١٩ ذوالقعده ١٤٤٥

The tents are on fire, Smoky air fills the dark sky, The situation is dire, Our ears pierced by the cry, Of the women and children who are lost, Babies heads are being blown off, All of this pain and suffering, for what cost? This is the current scene in Rafah… But this scene sounds so familiar, It was 1400 years ago, That Lady Zaynab (AS) was in a situation so similar, The tents ablaze, The women and children running from one tent to the other, Trying to get some protection, some cover, Every year we cry and say, “Oh Zaynab, if only we were there on that day,” We say that we would have come to her aid, We say that we would have protected her, And all of the women and children, Against the tyrants of their time. The tyrants of today, Are committing crimes before our eyes, How many of us are standing by, Watching oppression unfold before our eyes, Yet remaining silent, We claim to Lady Zaynab (AS) that, If we were alive during Ashura, We would have certainly been on her side, Today we see such a similar situation unfolding, Do our hearts break when we realize, That history is repeating itself, Which side of history will we be on?

🇱🇧🔴Highlights from the speech of Hezbollah Secretary-General His Eminence Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah on the occasion of three days passing since the death of his mother: On behalf of our family in general, and on behalf of the esteemed families of Al-Sayyed Safieddine and Al-Darwish, I extend thanks to everyone. Thanks to all who offered condolences from Lebanon, Palestine, Syria, Iraq, Iran, Pakistan, India, Turkey, Yemen, Bahrain, Kuwait, Egypt, Tunisia, Mauritania, and many African countries, Jordan, Morocco, Djibouti, and Lebanese communities in diaspora countries. Thanks to the leaderships of Hezbollah and Amal Movement for accepting condolences and receiving mourners, and thanks to all martyr families. I cherish the love of all martyr families. Rafah massacre confirms the brutality, treachery, and betrayal of the Zionist enemy. We are facing an enemy without values or morals, surpassing the Nazis. The horrific Rafah massacre should awaken all those who are unaware and silent in this world. The Rafah massacre has removed all the false facades intended to present the "Israeli" entity as "polite." We say to the normalizers: how will you normalize with people who have no limits to their brutality? American hypocrisy regarding Rafah has played a significant role in recent weeks. "Israel" challenges the will of the world, the international community, and the International Court of Justice, which ordered a halt to the attack on Rafah. The horrific massacres should be strongly condemned and should prompt the world to pressure for an end to the aggression. "Israeli" massacres should be a lesson for us and for those who rely on the international community and laws to protect Lebanon. The children and mothers of Rafah cry out to all those who are unaware, ignorant, detached from reality, and denying daily facts. Look at the international community, which is powerless and weak, merely issuing statements of concern and condemnation. Rafah massacre and the overall foolishness of the enemy will hasten the defeat, collapse, and demise of the Zionist entity. We see no future for this Nazi entity in our region. 🦅@SNNenglish
