It is a brotherly call > addressed to you after the flood has reached its > climax and after the destruction, terror, murder and > sacrilege practised by the aggressive, terrorist and > criminal Zionist entity, together with its tyrannical > ally, the US, have come to a head against our brothers > and our faithful struggling people in plundered > Palestine. If evil achieves its objectives there, > Allah forbid, its gluttony for more will increase and > it will afflict our people and other parts of our wide > homeland too, in addition to the suffering that has > been and is still being inflicted upon the people of > Palestine. > > Therefore, brothers, I address this message to you as > a specific call for the sake of Palestine and, through > Palestine and its Holy Quds, for the sake of us all > and, through our nation, for the sake of all humanity, > which is afflicted with the tyranny of the evil > American-Zionist alliance. > > Brothers, > > When we address this call to you, we do not set out of > imagination but out of a deep faith in, and a full > understanding of the heritage of our nation and its > glorious history. This history reveals that our > nation, even under the most complicated and the > hardest circumstances, has always found its way when > its potential and resolution have been mobilized. No > matter how heavy misfortunes weigh on our nation, or > how dark the veils of night hang down on it, it has > been able, when following the right path, to light > candles on both sides of the road to guide it towards > its choice and its objectives. > > We, brothers, seek for Allahs reward and seek for > honour in this life and the next. We seek for them > with you and through our gathering and our joint > action, and not apart from you, unless we find > ourselves compelled to act, each according to the > stand, which suits his viewpoint and belief. > Therefore, and although we are aware of the > circumstances involving the bearers of official titles > in the nation and their capabilities, we have a great > hope in you, brothers, to mobilize resolution so that > we win jointly and not individually, Allahs favour > and the favour of our nation and humanity at large. If > any of us, within the boundaries of his country and on > the basis of the peculiarity of his sphere and his > capability, sees that the troubles he has are a burden > too heavy for him to carry, it is with solidarity, > joint force and joint action that these troubles and > others become lighter in weight. Group resolution, or > the resolution generated by the sense of solidarity or > joint action, will make them easier to carry and will > make the shoulders stronger and more capable of > endurance and steadfastness. That is because Allahs > Hand is with the group that has faith in Him and that > trusts in Him, glorified be His name. Whoever supports > right against wrong will receive Allahs support in > this life and His honour and best reward in the next. > > We do not want to burden you, brothers, with the > details and remind you of what is happening to our > faithful people who are being afflicted with the evil > of the US-supported Zionists. What is happening to our > people and our brothers there is clear enough even if > we only see it on television. > > Arabs, > > Many of those who held titles of responsibility > amongst us and, perhaps, many in certain circles among > the Arab nation used to blame the Palestinians. They > claimed that the Palestinians did not resist the > Zionist occupation, as they should have from the year > 1930 to the defeat of some Arab regimes in the year > 1948 and afterwards. > > But what can any just and indubitable person say now > about the stand of the heroic people of Palestine, men > and women, children, youths and old men? > > The stand of the heroic people of Palestine, who are > now facing alone the alliance and conspiracy of > Zionism and Imperialism, which were originally > designed for the whole nation, is set against the > stand nearing impotency on the Arab side. In all > cases, the reason for this impotency is not the > weakness of the potential of the nation or the will of > the people. It is, rather, the weakness of the will of > the decision makers or their unwillingness to shoulder > their responsibility with the honour, the patriotism > and the life buoy to carry all to the shore of safety. > It is painful to see how they have abandoned the > simplest rights and principles of pan-Arabism and the > meanings of faith entrusted to our titles and the > titles of others by the heritage of our immortal > nation. They have abandoned all the meanings which > make our nation one nation, called up by the Merciful > and the Compassionate to be the ideal for those who > believe in Allah, the One and only One, and the beacon > of faith and virtue to overcome wrong and to champion > right. > > Arabs, > > We are all called upon to remember and never forget > our duties towards Allah, towards our nation, towards > our people and even towards humanity. We can do this > through a stand of honour, achieved in any form that > raises it above the state of deterioration and > impotency through which our nation passes now, and > above the state of only watching our struggling heroic > Palestinian people while they face murder and > destruction daily. We all perhaps remember the results > of the abandonment and treason, which happened in > 1948, and must keep in mind what may happen if things > go on now the way they did then. > > It is required of us, brothers, to say -- in one > voice, with a faithful and sure heart and in a stand > whose lines are free of weakness that may cause anyone > who harbours it to stray out of the frame of the > minimum of his faithful patriotic, national and human > responsibility -- that the US is an aggressive and a > terrorist power and that the Zionist entity is not > only a usurper of the land of Palestine and the lands > of the Arabs and their legitimate rights in > sovereignty and security, but it has also become an > open, evil, destructive and terrorist centre against > the people of Palestine and against our nation as a > whole. Our side should give up the policy of > servility, covering up, weakness and flattery at the > expense of right and should say openly that the US > encourages the Zionist entity to survive at the > expense of the Arabs and to kill Arabs and believers, > that the objectives of the US and those of the Zionist > entity are the same, that their wicked behaviour is > one, that their aim is to humiliate and destroy the > nation and that the events of September 11 are nothing > but a cover they used to pursue that wicked plan in > humiliating and destroying the nation. We have to > postpone all our differences and concentrate on taking > an honourable stand before Allah, history and the > people, testifying that we, governments and people, > have taken that stand jointly and with full > solidarity. This is the only way through which we may > regain the respect of the world, now that the world > and its representative assemblies have started to > slight the Arabs, their potential and their stand. > Some, perhaps, scorn the Arabs for their weakness. > Foremost, of those who behave in this manner towards > the Arabs are the US and its ally, the Zionist entity. > > Brother Arabs, > > We should only remember the causes and reasons for our > unity in this difficult crisis. We should try to > forget or postpone all that may lead to our division, > which is desired by our enemy under all titles and > names. We should reject any plan to divide the > potentials, stands and titles of the leadership of the > people of Palestine and their heroic groups according > to the wicked tactics of Zionism, supported by the US > and some western governments, which aim at weakening > the people of Palestine and their will for struggle. > > He who is not urged by the fervour of the blood ties > and principles should be urged by the imminent danger > in order to take part in the joint action. > > He whose position does not help him to remember the > great objectives of our nation and its great role > inspreading faith should remember that the destiny of > the Arabs, and the nation we are now responsible for > before Allah, will be achieved only through our unity > and not through our division and quarrels. > > Iraq is ready, people, regime and leadership, to > shoulder its responsibility so that we may reach a > stand which will please Allah and our nation so that > history may record later on all that give glory to our > grandchildren, after our children, with a stand of > honour after we respond to the call of the believing > mind, the pure conscience, the faithful heart and the > free and honourable aspiration. Allah will protect all > those who believes and trust in Him, glorified be His > name. > > Brothers, > > Under certain circumstances, those who are in > positions of responsibility, whether they hold titles > of power or other titles among the people, are faced > with options all of which are difficult.
