A reporter asked her: "Would she want this boy [the unborn boy] to fight the Israelis when he grows up?"

"As long as there is occupation, resistance must continue." she replies.

We meet on the day for al-Quds with the great spirit of Imam Khomeini(AS), who announced this day as to become an eternal day that lives in the conscience of the nation, and this is due to its sacrifices. It was also confirmed by Imam Khamenei (may Allah protect him) to maintain the same way and method.

We come to the city of Imam Hussein(AS), and the city of the martyrs and prisoners, to the city that was at the frontier for almost 15 years, fighting, sacrificing, enduring, and offering martyrs including children, where it made its victory due to the blood of its martyrs.

Al-Nabatiyah was the city that sparkled the domestic confrontation with the Zionist enemy early Ashura 1983. We came to this city to be as near as we can to the frontline and the arena of challenge within this central celebration of ours, which will move year after another, from one city to another, in the various regions of Lebanon, in order to create for each city and region its presentation on the day for al-Quds, and create the commitment and vow to al-Quds, the people of al-Quds, and the Imam of al-Quds, and that this cause will never be forgotten.

On this day we must bring the awareness of this tacit world to the criminal Zionist procedures which are demolishing the houses of its original citizens in the city of al-Quds, and its land, in addition to the procedures of terrorizing the citizens of al-Quds to scare them out of the city, which is surrounded by the armed settlements from all sides to separate it from the rest of Palestine.

 

 

What is most dangerous amongst these procedures is the grave situation encountered by the sacred places of Christianity, and Islam in Palestine. Al-Aqsa Grand Mosque has another story, and here we are talking about a real danger threatening the first Makkah of the Muslims. This danger is represented by the attempts made to destroy of this mosque, an issue that is anxiously awaited by the Zionists, especially at this time, wherein the so-called Christian Zionism is controlling the offices of American decisions. Whoever attempts to read the mind of the Christian Zionism or Talmudic Zionism, who are planning to destroy al-Aqsa Mosque in order to build the temple of Solomon in replacement, will realize that we are approaching this danger, day after day. This danger must not be ignored by Arab rulers, Muslim, Arab and Islamic Nations. Abasing such issue will encourage the Zionists backed by the American Christian Zionists to destroy the mosque, whenever they thought the nation was weak, uncaring, neglecting, and scared; or a nation whose rulers care for nothing but their positions. Positions are not sacred; rather it is al-Aqsa Mosque, and the Church of Nativity.

The Zionists must understand, along with those who are supporting them, that any damage caused to al-Aqsa Mosque will cause the eruption of the entire region. If they want to destroy this mosque, the nation of this mosque will destroy this usurping entity, via the blood of the great martyrs, existing in each house, village, and city, in Lebanon, Palestine, and all the Arab and Islamic countries.

The day for Al Quds arrives after more than two years of the liberation of a great part of our Lebanese land through the resistance, and arrives after more than two years of the ignited Intifada, which at this time is clearly bearing the name of al-Aqsa Intifada. This occasion confirms that our choice is clear, and that it is the only choice that will restore the land, sacred places, and al Aqsa.

The international resolutions are applied only when they benefit the great powers and the USA, whereas the resolutions that concern our oppressed nations, and regions, are nothing but black and white sheets, and the proof is resolution 425 [calling for Israels immediate expulsion from Lebanese territory] for which no one has done anything for more than twenty years to be applied, and the resistance was the one that expelled the enemy. Nowadays, there are tens of the UN and UNSEC resolutions that were decided concerning al-Quds, and which reject the inclusion of al-Quds in the projects of the settlements, and reject what threatens the sacred places, only these international resolutions remained black and white sheets.

What restores and protects Palestine, is what the Palestinian people have chosen, such as its great martyrs who astonished the world, and who broke into the fortresses with their bodies and weapons to shake the entity and security of this enemy and its settlers. This is the way via which we are looking forward to the conclusive victory, God willing. This Intifada, likewise the resistance, will not end into political reconciliations. Since the first moment, it was ordained for this Intifada to ignite in the name of Allah and the blessed blood of the martyrs that was shed in al-Aqsa Mosque. Its martyrs are seekers of God’s love and His meeting, and nothing will weaken them or their will. This is why this is the Intifada of Victory and Liberation, and will create the miracle sooner than this world could ever anticipate.

 

 

On the Day of al-Quds, we must declare the following: we are a nation who does not assault anyone. The resistance in Lebanon was a movement that defended the country, people, dignity, and still is. Today in Palestine, the Intifada is also a state of defense. The Palestinians did not assault anyone. They did not go to Russia, Ukraine, Poland, or Ethiopia, in order to kill the Jews. Instead, these Zionists came from all over the world in order to usurp the land, sacred places, cities, and villages of the others. The Palestinians are doing nothing but defending themselves, and all the martyrdom operations with all of its targets are moral, humane, legitimate, honorable, and are allowable activities, because they aim at eliminating tyranny, occupation, evil, cancer, and corruption.

Therefore, we unveil the unjust treatment conducted against Lebanon, Palestine, Arab, and Muslims, especially at this stage, and this is because the people of these regions are defending themselves. We are not war mongers, and we do not want to create war against anyone. But whoever assaults us, occupies our land, soils our sacred places, and wants to disgrace us, will find that our flesh is not edible, and our blood will turn into erupting volcanoes that will shake the land under their feet, regardless of the identity of the aggressor, Jewish-Zionist or American-Zionist, and regardless of which side this aggression and invasion came from.

ON UNITY:

It is also our obligation on the Day of al-Quds to maintain our alertness and give attention to the American administration and the Zionist government along with the autocrats of this world who will work at this stage on crushing the remained strength of our nation. Therefore, we will witness more incitement to provoke the Arab and Muslim nation against each other via inciting the national sensitive issues. We are beginning to hear once more about some satellite TV channels that show programs about Arab, Persian, nations of Afghanistan, and other nations, inciting them against each other. We will witness how enmity and provoking Arab and Islam nations against each other will take place. They will try to revitalize hatred of the past among nations and countries.

 

 

What is more dangerous is playing the religious and sectarian strings. The Americans have spoken about crusade in order to provoke Muslims and Christians against each other, especially at this eastern region of the Arab and Islam world. They have reached this level of provocation, and what is worse is that they will try to provoke sections against each other, especially the Shia and the Sunni.

We are coming across a time in which the Muslims, all Muslims, especially the Shia and Sunni need to unify and cooperate, while each one may maintain his ideological thoughts, concepts, and religious matters. They all must cooperate in order to restore al-Quds and defend the Palestinian people, their religion, and their prophet Muhammad(SAW), who has been accused by the greater men of the American Zionistic Christianity as being a “terrorist.”

At this time Shias and Sunnis must unite to defend the dignity of this nation against those who want to change the map of the region and cause more separation and divisions, causing people to search for a Shia country here, or Sunni country there; an Arab country here or a Kurdish country there. At this time there are many new satellite TV channels in London and other places, financed by American and Zionist capitalists. There mission is to bring Shia and Sunni clerics in order to start arguments and disputes of the past, even the ideological matters have been incited aiming at provocation, hatred, and raising tensions.

The American administration wants Muslims and Christians, Arabs and non Arabs, Sunni and Shia, other countries and sects, to divide and fight each other, in order to fulfill the dreams of America and "Israel".

I should like to call upon people to maintain their alertness and awareness, and to boycott these American Zionist satellites. Those scientists, clerics, and ideological and cultured people are wrong if they ever thought that they were given the chance to express their thoughts. They must realize that they are nothing but tools played by American and "Israeli" hands, in order to divide Muslims and incite their hatreds.At this stage, we need to unite...
