Have the Arabs Learned Their Lesson?!

For about a month or a little less, the Zionist-American aggression against the Islamic Republic of Iran, Lebanon, and other Arab regions has continued unabated, with varying intensity between ferocity and limited strikes. As the war persists, the confusion, turmoil, and dizziness afflicting the aggressors become apparent, caused by the strength of the Iranian response and the regime's success in absorbing the initial blow that took the life of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, the rapid organization of ranks, and the unity of Iranians around their leadership in confronting the aggression. This stands in stark contrast to intelligence reports that confirmed a very high likelihood of a popular uprising against the regime should the head of state be eliminated, amidst increasing Iranian challenges and the soaring of Iranian missiles and drones over occupied Palestine and in the airspace and territories hosting American bases, delivering painful strikes!!

The most surprising element in this epic has been Hezbollah's involvement. Despite the losses it has previously incurred and the severe civil losses among the Lebanese, the party has demonstrated exceptional prowess in managing the battle, which is again contrary to flawed intelligence reports about its clinical death following the previous strikes!!

Regardless of the aggression and its consequences, and what the events will lead to, and regardless of the Arab position and the side chosen by the Arabs to align behind, the war does not seem to be laying down its burdens. The question that has arisen is: Did the Arabs learn the lesson? After the war revealed the hidden and malicious intentions that had been buried in the drawers of the greedy, which clearly manifested in statements from the extremists in the Zionist state, led by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, convicted of war crimes and wanted by the International Criminal Court, who is accused of internal corruption, statements that expressed his ambitions to extend his influence in the region and control its resources and wealth.

This war exposed the fragility of the Arab regimes, especially the Gulf ones, and their connections and dubious roles in advancing the colonial ambitions of the Zionist-American agenda and the Talmudic aspirations, even at the expense of their own homelands and oppressed peoples, in exchange for remaining on the thrones of power and enjoying pleasures, accepting a role as marionettes, without realizing that they would be devoured just like the white bull!?

If the Arabs see Iran as a danger to their national security, without a doubt, the Zionist entity is the greater devil that lurks, plots against them, and works to eliminate them, or at the very least, to subjugate them to serve its goals. It is no longer hidden from any Arab citizen from the ocean to the gulf that the Arab nation, thanks to the policies and approaches of its rulers, has become absent from the global scene, remaining a consuming nation reliant on the West, believing it will protect them, despite their wealth, which will keep them marginal without a central role, especially since most Arab regimes lack popular support due to the oppressive and despotic approach they exercised against their peoples.

American bases have proven their failure to protect the areas they are located in, especially the Gulf states, after the Iranian escalation, as the Iranian missiles that rained down on Gulf states hosting American bases have shown the limited role of these bases in providing a true "protective umbrella." While the role of the bases is to provide deterrence and oppose missiles before they hit their targets, they have increased the risks by turning the region into a battlefield that the Gulf has never seen before, clearly indicating that their role is to provide protection for the Zionist entity eager for the Arab region.

This failure has led to many Arab and Gulf voices questioning the usefulness of these bases, especially since enormous Arab funds are spent on them at the expense of the sustenance of the Arab people, and whether they have become a financial and strategic burden on the countries of the region? They simultaneously call for a comprehensive review of security policies, especially in the Gulf region, and voices have begun to demand the establishment of a joint security system based on what the Arab nation possesses in terms of expertise and wealth, away from American protection that the entity preferred over its Arab allies.

So, have the Arabs learned the lessons and started actively working on emerging from the dark tunnel into which they have put themselves by relying on American protection and rushing - both coerced and willingly - towards normalization with the entity, realizing that this haste will lead them to the abyss and strip them of their wealth and treasures!!

In light of the growing conviction of the failure of the American security umbrella and military bases in protecting Arab states, there is an urgent need to adopt a self-reliant common defense strategy. This requires strengthening Arab and Islamic solidarity, enhancing military industries, and seeking new allies. If the news is correct, it seems that the Arabs and Muslims have indeed learned the lesson and drawn conclusions, as new alliances are emerging on the horizon, such as the alliance that has gained prominence among Turkey, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, and Qatar. If this alliance succeeds in its steps, it will be a strong shield against the Zionist-American threat, and it will make the Zionist state think twice, as it will also be a protective shield against any other threats that may jeopardize the Arab nation.
