Press Release
The More the Heads of the Rulers Bow... the More Arrogant the Jewish Entity Becomes
(Translated)

In a scene that goes beyond the limits of political impudence and military arrogance, and the belittling of the rulers of the Muslims, the criminal Benjamin Netanyahu stands on Mount Hermon, showing contempt for the entire region, to declare to the world, from that strategic summit, domination over the Levant, praising his aggressive greed, and listing Lebanon, Syria, and the Yarmouk River in Jordan as all being under his control.

This shameful scene comes amid the continuation of the army of the Jewish entity in expanding the area of its occupation of southern Lebanon, and its implementation of a scorched-earth policy, indeed an exploding-earth policy, which it practices against the southern villages and towns, killing, displacing, and leveling the villages and towns to the ground. The latest of these was the blowing up of Ali Al-Taher Hill in Nabatieh, in a spectacular manner, the earthquake of whose explosion reached the regions of the area.

In Gaza as well, the Jewish entity continues grinding its stones and annihilating its people. Likewise, it bombs Syria from time to time. And in the West Bank, it increases its biting away at its lands, persecuting its people and humiliating them, while the sancity of the Al-Aqsa Mosque is being violated, in addition to threatening Turkey and Egypt... In front of this scene, we see the positions of the rulers of the Muslims between blatant inability, explicit negligence, and timid condemnation!

In Lebanon, the authorities continue to bow by proceeding with the negotiations of shame, which have increased the arrogance of the Jewish entity and aggravated its audacity in killing, occupation, destruction, blowing up, and displacement! So where is the “sovereignty” with which the existing regimes in the Muslim lands have been splitting our heads?! For we do not see this alleged sovereignty raising its head except to tighten the noose on the Muslims by firmly tightening the borders between the Muslim lands, and that is for nothing but one thing: preventing them from uniting against their enemy.

But when the army of the Jewish entity blows up Ali Al-Taher Hill in Nabatieh with 1,100 tons of explosives, and the earthquake of the explosion, due to its intensity, reaches distant areas, we see this sovereignty disappear and evaporate, and its owners replace their speeches of pride and defiance with speeches of inability, helplessness, and belittling of steadfastness in the face of aggression! And this while the Jewish entity is much weaker than it appears, for the recent events have proven that its imaginary strength is caused by the rulers of the Muslims. The Jewish entity is the shadow of these rulers, and when they disappear, it disappears.

Indeed, these shameful positions, which anger Allah, the Mighty and Exalted, will not protect the thrones; rather, they will vanish before the expansionist practices of the Jews.

Based on the reality of the Shariah responsibility, we affirm the following:

• This entity is a malignant disease in the region that must be eradicated through the jihad of the Muslim armies.

• The continuation of the authority in Lebanon negotiating with the Jewish entity is a great betrayal.

• The arrogance of the Jewish entity is not evidence of its strength, but rather is a direct result of the complicity of the Muslim rulers and the failure of their armies to act.

• Islam has obligated the rulers to mobilize the armies, wage jihad against the enemies, and support the oppressed. When the rulers were from among us, we opened lands, defeated the enemies, and implemented the Shariah of Allah. So where are the likes of the Khulafaa ar-Rashideen (Rightly Guided Caliphs) Abu Bakr, Umar, Uthman, and Ali? And where are the likes of the Khulafaa who raised the Raya (banner) of the Muslims high throughout the world: Harun, Al-Mu'tasim, and Suleiman al-Qanuni...? Where are they compared with the rulers of the Muslims today?!

• The rulers of the Muslims today are keen to prevent the Ummah from uniting against the enemies; rather, they are the reason for the continuation of the West’s control over our lands and our resources.
Now that we have lost the righteous rulers, the hope has become placed in the sincere leaders in the Muslim armies today, such as Salah al-Din, Baybars, Qutuz, and Muhammad al-Fatih... No matter how much the rulers of the Muslims today bow, and no matter how much the Jews become arrogant, the promise of Allah (swt) will be fulfilled through their removal at the hands of those among the Muslims possessing strength. The Ummah has not and will not accept this humiliation; rather, it is awaiting the opportunity to rise against these conditions, regain its authority, and liberate its land.

Allah Almighty says:

[فَإِذَا جَاءَ وَعْدُ الْآخِرَةِ لِيَسُوءُوا وُجُوهَكُمْ وَلِيَدْخُلُوا الْمَسْجِدَ كَمَا دَخَلُوهُ أَوَّلَ مَرَّةٍ وَلِيُتَبِّرُوا مَا عَلَوْا تَتْبِيراً] “So when the promise of the Hereafter comes, [We will send them] to disfigure your faces, to enter the mosque as they entered it the first time, and to destroy what they had conquered with total destruction.” [Al-Isra:7].
