Great article. I'm Irish, we are not fooled by the murder campaign going on in Gaza (Palestine) by the jewish zionists. It's a mass murder genocide, to rob the land. I'm delighted that the zionists shut their embassy in Dublin. They got so frustrated from trying to collectively gaslight us with their propaganda, they gave up and accused us all of being 'antisemitic'. We collectively eyerolled at that. We are not tolerating their lies. Our Prime Minister, told them to basically stop projecting their crap onto us, we've been down this road ourselves in Northern Ireland- created by the same civil servants who created israel. We Irish, are collectively repulsed at the Genocide perpetrated by the zionists. We walk shoulder to shoulder with the Palestinian people. Truth will eventually prevail. Tom 🌻
I loved reading it. Very informative and love learning the history of our collective struggles. You can make the conclusion more heartfelt. Just a suggestion. The Palestinian cause endures because it is my story, my heritage, and my truth. It is rooted in justice, in a collective memory that no force can erase, and in a spirit of resistance that lives in me and in every Palestinian. We carry the weight of our history not as a burden but as a source of strength—a reminder that our struggle is righteous and our liberation inevitable.
From the refugee camps of Lebanon to the besieged streets of Gaza, from the divided hills of Jerusalem to the far corners of the diaspora, I see my people standing unbroken. We are bound not by borders or politics but by an inherent right to freedom that no one can take from us.
The fall of a dictator does not alter what was never his to claim. Our cause lives in the hearts of millions, including mine, because we know that true liberation lifts us all—it chains no one, and it leaves no one behind.
Here in the US we rarely read about Palestine and Palestinians.
We need to know the poets, the history, the Palestinian Christians. Palestinians are herders and actors, they have centuries of olive groves and a marvelous food culture. We need to understand Islam. Who was the prophet, Mohammed, in his lifetime? Their commitment to contagion in medical practice, hundreds of years before the west, led to medical breakthroughs...
Their commitment to each other is deep.
We have a lot to learn in order to survive. Teach us.
Hello Ahmad! This is such a beautiful article, beautifully written, and it speaks the truth about your cause for Palestine to be free which is now shared with millions across the world. The sad truth is that geopolitics play a vital role in the support provided by the "powers that be" (US, EU, UK etc) towards Isael. What you are writing in your article is the truth and the truth what the whole world relates to but the truth has never been the reason for any colonial power to stop arming Israel. Now and always FreePalestine 🇵🇸
Thank you for sharing your powerful perspective. Your insight helped me better understand the complexity of this moment. My greatest hope is that this movement shakes more of the world awake out of numbness and complicity. May the seeds of liberation grow stronger in all of us. 🇵🇸
thank you so much for this. you are such a beautiful writer. there is so much about this i could quote. dictatorship is the antithesis of liberation; leftism is ab siding w ppl, not regimes
Masha'Allah, what a beautifully written work of activist journalism to offer nuanced information and moral clarity to a movement that has become divided over the liberation of Syria from at least one horrifically oppressive regime (while they continue to face influence and outright oppression from the Zionist colonizer). The title and subtitle alone are perfection. It's been disturbing to see people within the Free Palestine movement turning against each other over Syria and falling for propaganda from Iran despite having been insightful enough to question Western propaganda about Israel; unfortunately, there can be more than one oppressor on the map, and just because Iran is not friendly with Israel doesn't mean Iran has showed up for Palestine in the slightest, except when doing so has served Iran's own interests, nor does it mean Iran hasn't itself oppressed much of the ummah as well as its own people (as an Iraqi, I've seen my country go from living under American to Irani occupation in just my three decades of life). Even if we are wary of how the liberation of Syria came about in terms of disappointing and disturbing comments from the new Syrian leadership about "not having a problem with Israel" (even while Israel is actively bombing and occupying parts of Syria in addition to Palestine), the Syrians still deserve our support as they celebrate being liberated from one oppressor, at least. I was horrified to learn of the hellish existence of civilians kidnapped and held in the Sednaya military prison near Damascus. Perhaps it's because the Western media has rightfully lost all credibility that people are suspicious of anything they're willing to report on, but the stories coming out of Syria are not just being shared by the self-serving liar journalists of the West; we must listen to what the people of Syria are saying. Alhamdulillah for the liberation of Syria from this evil regime; my prayer now is that Allah guides the people of Syria to live by the truth that no one is free until Palestine is free.
I do not think it allows me to do so! If you are able to pledge anything, I would greatly appreciate it! I am committed to keeping this free, but any support goes a long way.
I support Palestian Chronicle and many charities in Boston Massachusetts area. They all have one time pledge option. I do not see why you are unable to do this. I am not an expert in this field so I cannot give you any advice. Thank you for your work.
great text. The shame for what is happening and happened in Palestine will haunt us for the next generations. How there are still people on earth not well enough informed, avoiding the truth, staying silent, letting this masscacre happen, is comletely uncomprehensible to me. We are all Palestine.
I agree completely. Palestinian nationalism and the Axis of Resistance are related, but the AOR is not Palestinian self-determination. The AOR is Iran-Assad's Syria-Hizballah, with tagalongs like the Shiites in Iraq, the Houthis of Yemen, but not Hamas, who has not taken part in the AOR struggle. The goal of the AOR is to resist the Axis of Occupation, US-Saudi-Israel, and the War on Terror, which was a war against Muslim people. Since 1920, the Arab states and Iran have repeatedly resisted Occupation by France, Britain, Israel, and the US. Where there is Occupation there is Resistance. The AOR stepped in to defend Gaza and Hamas when no one else would and it paid a heavy price. But, the AOR is not defeated, only cut up, and Palestine is back on the map! A year ago, Netanyahu thought he had his One State Solution and Saudi Normalization in the bag. Today, he has neither. As far as Syria goes, Palestine will succeed where Syria failed, and in doing so, save Syria, inshallah. This isn't the end, it's just beginning.

Wow. Just, wow. Thank you so much, Ahmad. This is the piece I have been waiting for about Syria. Terrific, inspiring, clear, beautiful. Thank you.

Love the way you put this!

I we love the fire in your words. 💔❤️🔥
Totally AGREE with this article and vouch for IRISH Tim’s truthful comment here! Pls keep discussion going!

Thank you @Ahmad Ibsais for educating us so comprehensively.

You should have one time pledge option also.
I do not think it allows me to do so! If you are able to pledge anything, I would greatly appreciate it! I am committed to keeping this free, but any support goes a long way.

I think it’s possible to add a “tip jar”, which might help?
I'm not so sure that what we are seeing now in Syria (disclaimer, I'm in Spain and do not watch or read msm) is a free Syria with free Syrians.
Anyway, we wish you success with your struggle to survive the genocide Israel is placing over Palestina. For once I'm a bit proud of Spain ...
