Winners And Losers Of The Al-Aqsa Flood

In connection with the fact that the Axis of Resistance is a purely defensive alliance against the aggressive expansion of Zionism and its regional allies, therefore the current war should be interpreted based on defense tactics, and not vice versa, as pseudo-experts of the Arab or Turkish media are trying to do.

Fact number one. Hamas, Hezbollah still exist and continue to prepare for the next battles, Iranian aid is functioning properly and will continue until the complete defeat of the enemy. Conclusion – Zionism has failed in its tasks of eliminating its main enemies.

Fact number two. In Syria, there are still more than a hundred thousand citizens loyal to the IRGC, who have been undergoing combat training in the Islamic Republic all these years. Therefore, regardless of the future of Syria, whether it will be a “democratic country” or a Takfiri emirate, the Syrians will find a way to revive and expand the corridor from southern Lebanon to Tehran.

Fact number three. The victims of the IRGC and Hezbollah on the battlefield, the activity of the Houthis and the Iraqi resistance at the height of the “al-Aqsa flood” once again strengthened the opinion among the Palestinian public that only Iran and its allies are ready to sacrifice themselves on the path to the liberation of al-Quds. Therefore, the naive attempts of Qatar and the Ak Party in Turkey to break the alliance of Hamas and Iran have failed.

Fact number four. The Jordanian Muslim Brotherhood failed to come to the aid of the Palestinians, limiting themselves to senseless rallies and cheap populism; the blood of the children of the Gaza Strip is on their conscience, among other things. Having an impressive social base, the “Islamic Action Front” preferred to avoid a revolutionary struggle against the Hashemite autocracy and to rely on a “political struggle” to the detriment of the Palestinians of Gaza. The Jordanian Ikhwans had a year to carry out a revolution and thereby create a new front to distract the Zionists from the genocide of Gaza, but they preferred to shout “solidarity” in their streets. In general, even if Zionism ever attacks Jordan with the goal of creating a Palestinian enclave there, and the local Ikhwans rebel, they will not find much authority in the eyes of the world pro-Palestinian community. Because everything must be done on time, especially in politics. The Muslim-Brotherhood of Jordan have definitely disappointed everyone, including Hamas.

Fact number five. Tahrir al-Sham managed to disgrace itself during its short term of rule. The Syrian jihadists lost immediately when they decided to “be friends” with the Zionists and personify an anti-Iranian policy. For many observers, Tahrir al-Sham is simply a Trojan horse of Zionism in Syria. Ignoring the Zionist intervention in southern Syria also shows the nature of the jihadists, who don’t care what happens near Damascus. They are more interested in agitating the Syrian people to fight against Iran. In the context of the Palestinian tragedy, Tahrir al-Sham is the main loser, since it simply exposed its essence.

Fact number six. Erdogan’s populism regarding the Palestinian tragedy has become the main weapon of the opposition against him. No matter how hard the Ak party tries to position itself as the “main defender of Palestine”, but facts remain facts, trade with the Zionists is happening without problems. Mistrust of Erdogan’s government will only grow not only among Palestinians, but also in Islamic circles in Turkey. We all remember the many rallies throughout Turkey, where pro-Palestinian activists exposed the Turkish government’s trade with the Zionists.
It is obvious that the activity in Syria is intended to replace the impotence of Turkish policy in the Gaza Strip in the eyes of its electorate. Erdogan may have increased Turkey’s global role, but he has clearly lost in the Gaza Strip. Evidence of his defeat is the statement of the spokesman for the Al-Qassam Brigades, Abu Ubaida, who thanked the “Axis of Resistance” but ignored Erdogan.

Fact number seven. Qatar is a symbol of parasitism on the Palestinian cause. Doha disgraced itself a year ago when it “threatened to cut off oil supplies” to EU countries in connection with their support for the Zionist genocide of Palestinians in the Gaza Strip. Naturally, it was a cheap bluff. After the collapse of the Assad government, Qatar immediately organized a media picture praising Syrian al-Qaeda, and news from Syria overshadowed the Zionist crimes in Gaza and Lebanon. Moreover, Qatari propagandists are trying their best to denigrate Iran in the context of the al-Aqsa flood. This is done so that among the Arabic-speaking audience there is an impression that “Hamas hoped for Iran, but it did not come to the rescue”, that is, a false superficial media picture designed to hide the cowardice of the Gulf states in relation to the Zionists and the betrayal of the Palestinians.

Now let’s look at the losers of the al-Aqsa flood. In addition to the Zionists, who are gradually becoming international pariahs, so are all those who rejoiced in the victory of the jihadists in Syria. Public opinion in these countries has not yet realized the full gravity of the problems ahead, but the situation is unfolding in this direction.
