The History of Zionist Attacks on Lebanon
Israel’s attacks on Lebanon did not begin in 1978 or 1982. They go back to 1948, when Israeli forces crossed into southern Lebanon during Operation Hiram. In Hula, Zionist occupation troops carried out a massacre whose reported death toll varies across sources, but it is widely recognized as one of the earliest mass killings committed by Israeli forces on Lebanese soil. Although Israeli forces withdrew after the 1949 armistice agreement with Lebanon, the ceasefire did not end the violence. Southern Lebanese villages continued to face raids, shelling, and repeated violations of Lebanese sovereignty.
49th Land Day
Land Day marks March 30, 1976, when Palestinians rose up in mass strike and protest against the Zionist seizure of thousands of dunams of land in the Galilee. Six Palestinians were martyred because they refused to accept land theft. That day exposed the truth that Zionism was never just an occupation of 1967. It was always a settler colonial project built on the erasure of an Indigenous people from their own homeland. In Islam, the land is an amanah, a trust from Allah. To defend it is not only political. It is a moral obligation against oppression and a refusal to betray the generations who came before us.
The Jordan ‘Israel’ Peace Deal
The Wadi ʻAraba Treaty, often referred to as a milestone for "peace," represents a profound betrayal of the Palestinian people and their quest for liberation. While it formalized diplomatic relations between Jordan and “Israel,” established agreements on land borders, and outlined resource allocations, it fundamentally served the interests of elites over the rights and aspirations of Palestinians. This so-called peace framework laid the groundwork for increased cooperation in trade, tourism, and security with a settler-colonial entity intent on perpetuating its occupation.

The Greater Israel Project
The vision of “Greater Israel” has roots in early Zionist thought, particularly in the writings and speeches of prominent figures such as Theodor Herzl, who envisioned a Jewish state that would stretch from the Nile to the Euphrates. This idea is based on biblical claims, which were appropriated by the Zionist movement to justify territorial expansion and the displacement of indigenous populations. Zionist leaders have often referred to this notion, not merely as a religious ideal, but as a political objective necessary for the survival and security of the settler colony.
Al Aqsa Intifada
The Al-Aqsa Intifada, which lasted from September 2000 to February 2005, was a Palestinian uprising driven by deep frustrations with Zionist colonization and failed ‘peace’ talks.
Over the course of 4 years, more than 4,464 Palestinians were murdered, including 1,262 children, 274 women, and 32 medical personnel. Additionally, over 9,800 Palestinians were taken as hostages. The uprising left 47,440 people injured, 10,000 of whom were children.
In terms of property destruction, over 5,000 homes were demolished, and 6,500 more were damaged beyond repair. This intifada symbolized the Palestinian struggle against occupation and injustice.
The Oslo Accords of 1993
Being driven by a desire for power and blinded by the illusion of diplomatic progress, the signing of Oslo Accord I in 1993 marked the moment when the Palestinian Liberation Organization, under Yasser Arafat, recognized “Israel” becoming a puppet to the occupation. The accord, driven by secret talks in Norway and heavily influenced by Western interests, was fundamentally flawed from the start. "Israel" sought international legitimacy while continuing the illegal occupation of Palestinian land. The accord was brokered by the U.S. President Bill Clinton.
