BREAKING
Russian Ministry of Defense: 37 Ukrainian drones destroyed in 4 hours over regions of Russia and the Black Sea.
Sheikh Qassem: Our supporters make up more than half of Lebanon's population, and all of these people are united under the banner of protecting Lebanon, its Resistance, its people, and its integrity.
Sheikh Qassem: There will be no phased handing in of our arms. [The Israelis] must first enact the agreement before we start talking about a defensive strategy.
Sheikh Qassem: Be brave in the face of foreign pressures, and we will be by your side in this stance.
Sheikh Qassem: Stripping us of our arms is like stripping us of our very soul, and this will prompt us to show them our might.
Sheikh Qassem: We will not abandon our arms, for they gave us dignity; we will not abandon our arms, for they protect us against our enemy.
Sheikh Qassem: The US efforts we are seeing are aimed at sabotaging Lebanon and constitute a call for sedition.
Sheikh Qassem: If you truly want to establish sovereignty and work for Lebanon’s interests, then stop the aggression.
Sheikh Qassem: The United States, which is meddling in Lebanon, is not trustworthy but rather poses a danger to it.
Sheikh Qassem: The United States is preventing the weapons that protect the homeland.

As the world recollects the tunes of Zorba the Greek, the free recognize the loyalty of the prodigy, Theodorakis, and his love and dedication to the Palestinian cause, not to mention his support to the Palestinians in their struggle against the Israeli occupation. 

Theodorakis, who has passed away at 96, was the mastermind behind the Palestinian National Anthem, which is and will always be an international symbol of resistance for supporters around the world.

"I am afraid that Sharon will lead the Jews in the same way that Hitler adopted with the Germans," said Theodorakis once. "Israel has become like Sparta – you are fighting a million Palestinian women and children – you are now Goliath and Palestine is David, and I am with David." 

Theodorakis feared no one, as his stance was as crystal clear as water. The composer wore the Palestinian Kuffiyah to his shows and to any event as an expression of solidarity and pride. 

A veteran soldier who defended Greece during World War II, Theodorakis dedicated his life to addressing global issues and revolutions. 

He composed immortal melodies evident in his iconic symphonies and soundtracks for films which he had to be convinced of in terms of their inclination and artistic value before actually agreeing to cooperate with their creators. Zorba The Greek's soundtrack still echoes across the world as if it was humanity’s anthem that is heard in every corner of the world.
