From a geographical point of view, Palestine is quite far from my country, Russia. However, many Russian citizens (including me and my readers) closely follow events in the Middle East and sincerely support the Palestinian Resistance. We understand very well that the fight of the Palestinian people against the Israeli occupation is a sacred struggle.

October 2023 marked the beginning of the Palestinian national liberation revolution against the Zionists and the neocolonial order in the Middle East. In my opinion, the main goals of this process were the restoration of historical justice and the liberation of Palestinian lands from occupation.

Palestine is an Arab land. This is a historical fact. We can recall the censuses of Palestine during the Ottoman Empire. For example, according to the Ottoman census of 1900, Arabs (Muslims and Christians) made up 94 percent of the population of Palestine. However, after the First World War, international Zionist circles, in close cooperation with Britain, began the gradual takeover of Palestine. Over time, this led to the Israeli occupation of Palestinian lands.

For many decades, Palestinians fought heroically against occupation. The First and Second Intifadas, and the resistance of the Gaza Strip against the Israeli aggressors, are the most important stages of this struggle. But in October 2023, a turning point, a historically revolutionary stage began. Palestinian resistance forces entered a battle that changed the Middle East.

The Israeli occupation army suffered huge losses and suffered several humiliating defeats. The burning "Merkava" occupation tanks became a clear symbol of the failure of the Zionist army and the collapse of its self-promotion. Every building in the Gaza Strip became a fortress in the path of invading Israeli troops.

The criminal Israeli regime carried out barbaric bombings of the Gaza Strip. Bombs and rockets have fallen and continue to fall on peaceful areas of Gaza. Tens of thousands of dead and wounded are the horrific result of bloodthirsty Zionist aggression.

It is no secret that the main accomplice in these Israeli crimes is the United States, as the US supplies the Israeli regime with weapons and ammunition. The largest American transnational corporations are closely connected with Zionist financial structures, and it is Washington and "Tel Aviv" that are the main occupiers who are plunging the Middle East into war.

At the beginning of the article, I mentioned that the events of October 2023 changed the Middle East. A revolution against the neocolonial order has begun, and the Resistance began to operate actively on several fronts: in Iraq, Lebanon, Yemen. In response to the Zionist atrocities, many countries from Latin America to Africa and Asia expressed support for Palestine.

These events have global significance. In geopolitical terms, we can see the birth of a new multipolar world order. Strong and sovereign states (Russia, Iran, China, North Korea, and others) are developing relations and cooperation. The liberation struggle is also being waged in Africa against French and American colonization (notable examples are Mali, the Republic of Niger, Burkina Faso). The global role of the countries of Latin America, Africa and Asia is growing.

There is no place for an American geopolitical dictatorship in a multipolar world. The United States is afraid of losing its influence, so its military-political and financial elite continues to unleash conflicts in different parts of the globe. However, resistance against the United States and its satellites is becoming increasingly active, and the Middle East is at the forefront of the struggle against American hegemony. From the Red Sea to the Iraqi deserts, the fight against the American occupiers is ongoing right now. And it was the courageous Palestinian military operations against the Israeli occupation that marked the dawn of this great struggle.

This is definitely an existential struggle. On the one hand, there are sovereign countries ready to defend their national interests, history, faith, culture, and traditions, countries ready to maintain equal relations and an atmosphere of international cooperation. These are countries that are the heirs of great historical civilizations. In the 21st century, Moscow, Tehran, Beijing, Damascus, and Pyongyang became the centers of the free and sovereign world.

On the opposite side are the United States and its satellites. America, ruled by corrupt elites and financial corporations. A weak-willed European Union that has become an American servant. The criminal Israeli occupation regime. These are definitely the forces of darkness. This is a modern resemblance to the Roman Empire in the later and worst years of its existence, when it became a center of vice and moral degradation. It is a hybrid of old Western colonialism, hegemonic ambitions, political arrogance and aggression. The current West and its satellites (including the Zionist regime) are a terrifying political chimera.

A difficult geopolitical struggle in this situation is inevitable. This gives rise to conflicts in different regions of the globe. However, this is the only way a new, fairer multipolar world order can emerge. This is the path of struggle and battle.

As I already said, the majority of Russian citizens support Palestine. NATO and "Israel" are our common enemies. The fight against them is our common, sacred fight. Although Palestine is far from our borders, it is in our hearts.
