The Beginning of the End for Israel and the Collapse of the American Myth.
Dr. Bilal Al-Laqis, a Lebanese writer and analyst, wrote in an article titled “The First Anniversary of the Battle of ‘Oli Al-Bas'” and emphasized the following:
– This battle is still ongoing and has not stopped for a moment since it began on October 8. It moves from one season to another and has not yet ended. Undoubtedly, this stage is the most dangerous and complex battle in the history of the confrontation with the Zionist regime since its establishment. Due to its intensity, complexity, and interconnectedness, it can be said that this is not just one of the stages of the path, but may be the “end of the battles.” Therefore, this stage continues to carry many messages.
– The claims of the enemy and its agents that the resistance in Lebanon has been defeated and is on the verge of destruction have collapsed. The facts emphasize that the Zionist regime is still facing a great challenge and a vital dilemma called the Lebanese resistance, a resistance that has both a symbolic dimension and a living reality.
-Despite the enormous pressures and attacks that the Resistance and its society endured – pressures that are unbearable even for large armies and countries – the Resistance, with a responsible and courageous spirit, was able to learn lessons, gain experience, and continue on the path with greater motivation, determination, and sense of responsibility. The heavy pressure of the enemy on the leaders of the Resistance, instead of weakening them, caused new sources of energy and motivation to explode, as the trends have shown so far.
-The nations of the Resistance and its supporters in Lebanon, Gaza, Yemen, throughout the Arab world, and even beyond, were able to embrace the Resistance, heal its wounds, and help it overcome the initial shocks. The Resistance also reaffirms once again that it is the son of these free nations, the continuator of their historical jihad, and the bearer of their right to a dignified life; and it will continue on this path with strength.
-The Lebanese Resistance was able to regain its political balance and quickly emerged as an active force on the scene. While it was engaged in internal reconstruction, it was able to face internal and regional challenges well and thwart US efforts to contain and disarm it under the slogan of “arms monopoly”. At this stage, the resistance chose the strategy of silence; a different approach from the past.
-It has been proven that standing with Palestine is the historically correct position. Every honest investment in the path of Palestine and every genuine support for it is in harmony with the global conscience and the constructive and civilizing process of history. In contrast, those who rely on the forces of oppression, racism, genocide, and tyranny and despise nations and their dignity are rejected.
The battle that our nations waged in support of Gaza was the most honorable of battles. Today, free nations from Colombia, Brazil, Venezuela, and many countries in the East and the West have raised the banner of truth and stood strong against Trump and Netanyahu. This battle also exposed the weakness and inferiority of the forces. It exposed groups and parties that turned a blind eye to the oppression of Palestine and instead turned to following America and the “international community,” unaware that this stance has made them worthless and humiliated in the eyes of the West and America.
