The concept of “solidarity” doesn’t do justice to describing the outpouring of Arab and Muslim support for Palestine. The popular Arab saying “my blood is Palestinian” best conveys the visceral nature of this support which defines our very being and identity — what it means to be a “real” Arab or Muslim.
As a cause that is at once national, Islamic, and pan-Arab, there is no out-group offering “solidarity with” an in-group’s interests or values, which the concept suggests. Nor is it “solidarity among” a group of people sharing a commonality of interests or values because it transcends both.
Western champions of the Palestinian cause can be in solidarity with Palestinians, but it far exceeds that for Arabs and Muslims. There is simply no equivalent in the Western world for this phenomenon, and Western policy-makers who are supporting Israel would do well to note this: war on Palestine is a war on all.
Hezbollah’s statement:
In the path of liberating the remaining parts of our occupied Lebanese land and in solidarity with the triumphant Palestinian resistance and the persevering and struggling Palestinian people, groups from the Martyr Commander Hajj Imad Mughniyah in the Islamic Resistance this morning, Sunday, October 8, 2023, attacked three positions of the Zionist occupation in the occupied Shebaa Farms area of Lebanon. These are: the Radar site, the Zibdin site, and the Rweisat Al-Alam site with a large number of artillery shells and guided missiles. The sites were directly hit.
BREAKING: "Lebanon's Hezbollah says it has targeted 3 Israeli occupation outposts with mortar shells in the occupied Shebaa Farms in southern Lebanon."
2020. It's exhausting to think how one year can be considered both the best year of my life and the absolute worst year of my life. Most people want to forget that this year ever happened. I can't. 2020 is forever. Because I can't remember the good without remembering the bad.
The #Beirut blast wiped out up to 85% of Lebanon's grain stores, triggering worries of a food crisis.
Lebanon imports most its food and is in the middle of an economic crisis.
Nearly 1 million in Beirut already don't have enough money to buy essentials, says @SaveTheChildren.
The #Beirut explosion left up to 300,000 people temporarily homeless, says the governor.
The blast damaged half the city, destroying windows and entire homes, with damage estimated at $3-5B.
It comes as Lebanon suffers a major economic crisis, with poverty levels nearing 50%.
The death toll from the #Beirut explosion rose to at least 100.
At least 4,000 were wounded.
Many are still missing, including people thrown into the sea by the blast. Families went to the port looking for relatives, and workers are still looking for people under the rubble.
Pretty great lightning show across Calgary this evening!
Saw a couple of upward strikes off the antennas on broadcast hill! #yyc#abstorm@weathernetwork
So this happened. Alhamdulillah. It might have taken six years, but it happened. And alhamdulillah for Suha, because she was there supporting me every single day for those six years. I was so proud when she graduated from IUG. I know she would have been even prouder.
