The Al-Aqsa Flood changed the world in two years

One side of 7 October is a process in which the Zionist Israeli terror state displayed all its barbarity and trampled every principle, moral rule and law on behalf of humanity. The Israeli savagery, which in two years of ceaseless aggression has massacred 66 thousand identified people, most of them children, elderly and women, is in effect demonstrating by itself that it is a threat to the entire world. But the other side of 7 October is that the Israeli security myth was completely brought down within 5 hours. The perception of security that high technology, intelligence and military superiority were thought to provide was toppled by the determination of courageous people with simple weapons.

The two years since 7 October have been an unprecedented balance between, on the one hand, a side attacking with all its might with monstrous emotions and impulses that have gone out of control, and, on the other, a side fighting only with courage and intelligence. From whichever angle you look, it is an asymmetric balance, but this asymmetric balance, which in terms of the balance of international relations, technology and material weaponry is in Israel's favor, is an asymmetry in Hamas's favor in terms of intelligence, will, courage, diplomacy and moral superiority.

Moreover, this asymmetric balance deepened further as time went on. The more Israel displayed its barbaric power, the further it went in destruction, death, more horrifying massacres, blockade and killing by starvation, the more it lost its mind, and no move of its was tolerated by any reasonable person.

It also lost the power to market the attack it suffered on 7 October, and the view that Hamas did too little began to gain more acceptance. Because of the limits of humanity it trampled, the sympathy it held throughout the world turned into empathy for others, and both as a state and in its own citizens, they became an object of utter hatred.

Today, on a global level, Israel is seen as humanity's scourge. All the propaganda in which it invested for years in politics, culture, literature, even philosophy and science has quickly reversed. The true meaning of Zionism, which was seen as a right, as an atonement for the Holocaust, has become manifest. While a strong awareness has formed about the Palestinian issue in all its dimensions, a consensus has formed almost on a global scale that the problem is not Palestine but Israel. Even in the US, Israel's unshakable position has been shaken, and today the American people have begun to ask why their taxes are being transferred to this spoiled, irresponsible, genocidal Israel.

On the other hand, from 7 October onward, Hamas, with the principled stance it has shown in its struggle, with the struggle it has put up with few means, with its discourse, with its genuine heroism, has stood out even more in the world and attained greater moral superiority. The Palestinian issue, which had almost come to be forgotten or neglected even by its friends, has gone from being the struggle for liberation of a single people on its own to being the keyword of every discourse of liberation on a global level.

This, in brief, is the balance sheet that has emerged at this stage of the asymmetric power conflict after two years. Somewhere in this balance sheet there is of course also the total destruction of Gaza and nearly a hundred thousand martyrs. When we expressed our appreciation to Hamas for its brilliant response to Trump's Gaza plan, there were immediately those who, citing so much destruction, so many deaths and massacres, asked "was it worth it?" Those who ask this question evidently do not know what the people of Gaza and the Palestinian people in general have been going through. Not only that, it is very clear that they have a different mind as to what the people of Gaza risked when entering this struggle, or what they count as gains in the struggle.

We had earlier said likewise to those who put forward similar views, "your mind cannot grasp it, this is a different calculation." It really is a different calculation, but even when looked at materially, the gains Hamas has reached after two years are very great from its own standpoint. In the famous phrase ringing in our ears at the end of each of Abu Ubaida's statements, "this is a jihad, either victory or martyrdom."

Both of these are included in the calculation. In the end we all die, we will die, a little sooner or a little later.

There is no one who has come to this world and not gone. But for Yahya Sinwar, the manner of death that perhaps all of us would wish for is far more frightening. Growing old and dying while leading a quiet, calm life in one's bed, or from an illness or in a traffic accident... He had said, "The greatest gift my enemies could give me would be to martyr me," and his word did not remain mere talk. With the manner of his death he became the symbol of all freedom struggles from now on.

A leader fighting in the very front line, without ever setting himself apart from others, bearing all the dangers, is among the strongest indicators of the authenticity of a movement. Hamas's entire leadership stratum was martyred precisely in the field together with its rank-and-file fighters, but the movement did not end, could not be stopped.

An important aspect of the date of 7 October is that it coincided with Yom Kippur (6 October), exactly 50 years after the day on which the myth of Israeli might and security was powerfully constructed. Israel, which that day shocked Egypt and Syria with a surprise attack and paralyzed their defenses within a short time, had in fact pulled this off again not by its own strength and the courage of its soldiers, but largely through the cooperation of traitors it had bought from within both armies. Now, however, it is a myth that an irregular organization toppled with the simplest weapons but with their will and courage: the Al-Aqsa Flood.

At the end of two years, even though Hamas has paid very great prices, it has made its cause the cause of the whole world, formed great allies, and at the same time brought about a situation in which the balances of the whole world are being reshaped and in this balance Israel's place has become completely unsafe. Not only in the military sense or in terms of the new international balances it has caused. Having exposed the racist and hypocritical nature underlying all the Western values such as human rights, democracy, secularism and rationality is also a great gain. Thanks to this, today even in the West people have become aware of the crushing, exploitative and humiliating power to which the world they live in is subjected, and of the invisible chains around their necks.

Today, when people march for Palestine, they are at the same time marching for their own freedom. In this way the people of Gaza, on behalf of Muslims, have announced to the whole world the message of Islam most befitting of human dignity.

Whatever anyone may say, with this few means, this result is an unparalleled victory, an unparalleled success.
