The Palestinian Resistance has already defeated 'Israel', nothing will change this

The pillars of security and deterrence, on which the Zionist entity is propped up, have been systematically dismantled by the Palestinian Resistance in the south.

  • The Palestinian Resistance has already defeated 'Israel', nothing will change this
    (Illustrated by Ismail Agha; Al Mayadeen English)

So far, the Palestinian Resistance forces have managed to destroy, completely or partially, nearly 1,000 Israeli military vehicles, and target over 5,000 soldiers, while ensuring that the Zionist militants are unable to accomplish any military achievements. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is only digging more graves for his own soldiers by refusing to withdraw his forces from Gaza.

While the Palestinian Resistance factions continue to inflict significant casualties on Israeli invading forces, the Zionists persist with their targeting of innocent Palestinian civilians. According to a letter that was allegedly sent by Hamas leader in Gaza, Yahya Sinwar, to the senior political leadership of the Palestinian movement, some 5,000 Israeli soldiers have been directly struck, a third of which he says were killed. If the estimates from the Resistance are true, that puts the Zionist soldier death toll at roughly 1,666 and is a far cry from the statistics published by the Israeli army. Although it is extremely difficult to corroborate death tolls from the outside, it is clear from the video evidence presented, as well as reports produced by the Israeli media, that the invaders are suffering significant casualties and are working to censor the true extent of their losses.

Meanwhile, the Israelis release contradictory statements regarding hypothetical numbers of Hamas fighters that they claim to have killed. While the Palestinian Resistance factions release videos on a daily basis, documenting their fighters killing Israeli soldiers and hitting multiple military vehicles, the Israelis have managed to produce one confirmed video of their forces killing a Hamas fighter. The Hamas fighter who was martyred in the footage, filmed from a drone, was Tayseer Abu Tai’meh, featuring him protesting during his final moments and immortalizing him through his image of courage.

The latest death toll in Gaza has surpassed 29,000 [including those presumed dead under the rubble], of which 11,000 children are children. The death and destruction inflicted by the Zionists inside the Gaza Strip are of record-breaking proportions, yet there have been no major military achievements that the Israelis have managed to pull off against the Palestinian Resistance. In light of this, it appears that the regime of Israeli Premier Benjamin Netanyahu has resorted to attaining tangible military feats outside of occupied Palestine altogether. 

This has so far entailed the assassination of Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC) senior advisor, Sayyed Razi Mousavi, in Damascus, in addition to the deputy head of Hamas’ politburo, Sheikh Saleh al-Arouri, who was martyred in the Southern Suburb of Beirut. Fingers have also been pointed toward the Zionist entity for its alleged involvement in the recent terrorist attack in the Iranian city of Kerman, which resulted in over 100 dead civilians and was formally claimed by the official channels of Daesh.

What is telling about the activities of the Israeli regime, is that its sudden shift to an external focus signals a de facto acceptance of the reality on the ground in the besieged Gaza Strip. Every other day, we hear from Zionist officials and the entity’s media apparatus of various proposals for ethnically cleansing Gazans to locations like Rwanda and the Congo, as well as plans to re-occupy Gaza, implant new settlements, and use a number of Arab regimes to help manage the enclave. All of these proposals are rooted in fantasy and should be discarded as mere fanatical ramblings, which are not rooted in the real world.

The US government has now admitted that Hamas will not likely be eradicated and that the conflict will end with the existence of the Islamic Resistance, something that runs contrary to the war aim of the Israeli government. In essence, the Americans have ceded the idea of defeating Hamas, which means that they openly declare the defeat of "Tel Aviv’s" primary goal. Washington announced it is also engaged in dialogue on a prisoner exchange deal, which also flies in the face of the secondary goal that was stated by the Israeli war government at the start of their war.

Although the US is continuing to supply the Israelis with military aid, maintaining their long-held position that the Zionists have an inherent right to bombard Gaza in the name of "self-defense", the recent shift in American rhetoric suggests that they have given up on the idea of an Israeli victory altogether. This being said, it begs the question as to why the war is still being permitted to continue from Washington in light of them admitting that there are no attainable goals. 

The Zionist entity has been strategically defeated. The loss that it has taken was inflicted on October 7, a blow from which it has not managed to salvage even the image of victory. Instead of proving that it is a military and political power to be reckoned with, the Israelis have exposed themselves as cowardly fanatics who are only good at murder from a distance. The Israeli military on the ground is perhaps the most poorly organized, least well-disciplined and morally degenerate army on the planet, considering that it is one of the most technologically equipped. Its ground forces are for the most part a bunch of petrified racists who are incapable of even engaging Palestinian guerilla fighters face to face.

To make up for their pathetic and cowardly ground forces, which have resorted to carrying out field executions of women, children and the elderly in Gaza, while detaining civilians in torture zones, the Zionist militants use their modern technology to commit mass murder from a distance. The ethically bankrupt Israeli society has also revealed its nature to the world, starting viral internet trends mocking the dead in Gaza, and according to all polling data, the majority of the population believes that their "most moral army" has not used enough force in Gaza. While the Israeli military, under the supervision of their political leaders, has inflicted a civilian death toll that makes even Daesh seem tame, the Israeli people want even more blood and don’t believe that the genocidal attack has gone far enough.

While screaming at the world about its alleged "right to exist," the Israeli regime has proven why it has no moral right to remain seated at the table of nations. What this terrorist organization has done to the people of Gaza is a unique crime in history, perhaps one of the worst stains on humanity since the Second World War, and can only really be compared with the horrors committed by the colonial powers, except with modern military technology. The pillars of security and deterrence, on which the Zionist entity is propped up, have been systematically dismantled by the Palestinian Resistance in the south and the Lebanese Resistance in the north. "Israel" will not succeed in defeating Hamas, nor will it succeed in defeating or even deterring Hezbollah, which is why the US government needs to immediately intervene to save its terrorist proxy regime.
