The Resistance Axis: A Paper Tiger

What the resistance movements are doing by broadcasting scenes and video clips showing what they are capable of, such as the Hornet in Lebanon, gunfire, and remote detonation techniques in the West Bank, is merely propaganda aimed at portraying that the resistance has advanced capabilities and is able to completely destroy Israel! If that is the case, then why haven’t these movements attacked and destroyed what they have filmed, since they claim to have the ability to reach those locations instead of informing the enemy of potential targets for any upcoming confrontation? What are they waiting for? What is the right time if not now?

It is clear to me that all these clips from various factions of the axis are directed at domestic public opinion, coming as part of a broader media war, and their broadcast is based on the rise and fall of support for these movements. After a considerable time since the war began, and following significant losses for various factions of the axis from Iran to Palestine, as well as Iraq, Lebanon, and Yemen, public sentiment has begun to express weariness and frustration over what is happening, and criticism has started to grow gradually louder, amid diminishing international protests compared to the early days of the war.

As a portion of this public opinion concludes that achieving victory with this approach is impossible, despite the daily losses inflicted on the Israeli army and the various levels of loss Israel suffers due to this war, it becomes evident that the Palestinian people in Gaza and the West Bank, not to mention those in Lebanon and Yemen, are paying the highest price. There is a consensus that the primary confrontation is with the United States, not Israel, and that this criminal state, "Israel," is merely an advanced site for Western imperialism, primarily the United States, which will not leave it alone in any future confrontation, regardless of political disagreements between them.

The events at the onset of this battle have proven this: an American aircraft carrier headed to the Mediterranean Sea, accompanied by dozens of naval vessels from various Western countries, and remained there until it confirmed that the message had been received. This prompted everyone, led by Iran and its axis, to reassess their strategies, even reaching the point of denying any connection to the events or prior knowledge of them!

Does the resistance axis have the capability to enter into war with these powers when dragging Arab countries into a comprehensive war is not achievable, at least at this time? War criminal Benjamin Netanyahu has stated that Israel is fighting on seven fronts, and he went to deliver a speech in the U.S. Congress as if he were the President of the United States, where we saw the extent of deceit in his words and how he was received, with the audience applauding him repeatedly, even though they all know that he is a war criminal who should be tried. However, the language of interests is more important and powerful to them than values and principles.

It is widely agreed among political analysts and others, including various spokespeople for the resistance movements, that Netanyahu is doing everything in his power to sustain this war. Thus, we pose the following question: Should Netanyahu be politically isolated and confronted diplomatically and legally, or should the conditions be provided for him to continue his actions in keeping the war inflamed?

I see nothing in what all the movements of the axis are doing except for attempts to prolong the war for their varying interests, such as gaining support from the masses and delaying the consideration of various political or economic issues concerning their peoples, hoping for a miracle that changes the course of events, which, in my view, can only yield the following outcomes:

First, the confrontation between the parties will continue and gradually transform into an all-out war that spares no one.

Second, one of the parties may declare its surrender, indicating that the other side has won the battle, but it has certainly not won the war. Here, the balance of power must be examined along with the metrics of defeat and victory to ascertain who will end up as the defeated party.

Third, the current war may turn into a never-ending conflict, becoming a routine matter similar to what has occurred in Syria, Iraq, Yemen, and other countries without central control, while the suffering and tragedy of the Palestinian people continue.

Finally, Israel relies on its unity in facing its enemy for its survival and existence, and therefore it always seeks to create an enemy and strengthen it to pose an existential threat, "even if it is a paper tiger." Consequently, all factions unite to confront this enemy, ensuring its continued existence.

Is it time to understand this equation, and instead of providing Israel with factors for its existence, work on strengthening the foundations for its collapse? The pessimist complains about the wind, the optimist hopes for it to stop, and the realist adjusts the sails.
