Speaking at a Quds Day rally in Beirut:

“Today, we celebrate with faith and calmness and feel security, strength, and power. But yesterday, the Israeli entity announced its alertness on all fronts, prepared Iron Domes on all fronts, and sent worthless threatening messages to all the countries in the region. We have created a powerful deterrent mechanism against Israel and its actions, as evidenced by what happened last week. The Israeli reaction is ridiculous. So far, neither Lebanon nor Syria or Gaza are interested in a conflict or war,” but “Israel should be scared, deterred and worried.

“It may explode, I warn Israel and the United States - the Muslim and Christian holy places are our red line... and the Palestinian red line.”

“The United States is busy with other fronts such as Russia’s war in Ukraine and the confrontation with China, and this is very troubling to the Israeli leadership. When the power of the United States weakens as a hegemonic power, it strategically affects Israel, and Israel’s deterrent power weakens because it relies on the U.S.”Matthias Inbar, “‘It may explode:’ Hezbollah chief issues stark warning to Israel in Quds Day speech,” i24 News, April 14, 2023, https://www.i24news.tv/en/news/middle-east/levant-turkey/1681481581-hezbollah-chief-marks-quds-day-with-a-warning-to-israel.

“How ironic is it that the most cowardly nation in the world, the Jews, could enter Masjid Al-Aqsa with roaring and growling like lions, but the soldiers of Salahuddin Ayyubi are imprisoned in their military barracks like mice!?

“O Muslims! Shedding tears is not enough, boiling with anger and sorrow is not enough, expressing grief and anger on social media is not enough, nor is boycotting Jewish products enough, which they bring to the land of Muslims. It is your duty to liberate every square foot and every inch of Palestinian land from the clutches of the Jews. It is incumbent upon you to capture and shake every son, brother, father and grandfather present in the Pakistani army and demand with determination, “Are there no Salahuddin Ayyubis among you?!” O Muslim soldiers of the Pakistani army!

“Your hands are tied up by this rotten capitalist system! Raise for the sake of Allah (swt) and uproot this man made system and support the establishment of Khilafah Rashidah (rightly guided Caliphate) on the method of Prophethood. Only then you can unleash your self for the sake of Allah (swt) and strike the heads of cowardly Jews and Hindus and their supporters.” Mohammed Adil, “Forces of the Jewish Entity Attack Palestinians in Al-Aqsa for the Second Time,” Hizb ut-Tahrir Central Media Office, April 13, 2023, https://www.hizb-uttahrir.info/en/index.php/2017-01-28-14-59-33/news-comment/24464.html.

Extremists: Their Words. Their Actions.

Fact:

On October 7, 2023, Hamas invaded southern Israel where, in the space of eight hours, hundreds of armed terrorists perpetrated mass crimes of brutality, rape, and torture against men, women and children. In the biggest attack on Jewish life in a single day since the Holocaust, 1,200 were killed, and 251 were taken hostage into Gaza—where 101 remain. One year on, antisemitic incidents have increased by record numbers.
