something I wanted to draw attention to are these words of Shaykh Osama bin laden that come from his latest speech to the Ummah.
please read first the whole quote:
and I assure you that the Zionist entity above the land of Palestine is a very weak one and has many weak points. And they (i.e. Zionists) know that their entity lacks the essential elements of survival - since they are within a large Islamic vicinity - without the aid and support from the West and its agents of the region's rulers.
And this is exactly the cause of this entity's survival as well as it has never been subjected to a serious war launched to free Palestine .Some people may say that the Arabs have fought several wars against the Jews but they haven't taken Palestine back. I say that who is aware about the reality of such wars will be sure that none of them was a real one, and none of them was launched in the cause of liberating Palestine. In addition to that, all these wars lacked the conditions required for success
And it is enough to know that the commander-in-chief of all the Arab armies participating in the first war sixty years ago –known as the war of 48 - was a British officer named " Glubb". Could any sane person believe that the Arabs were serious to recover Palestine? It was Britain which handed over Palestine to the Jews, and appointed that officer to be the leader of the Jordanian army, and he was the real leader, and the previous king "Abdullah ben al-Sharif" had nothing but the title and flag. So this war was nothing but a pretence and it is a model of treason.
For they –directly after this war- accepted the immediate armistice and later the permanent one.
There was no war against Jews which was fairly prepared except the one of "10th of Ramadan", however the main concern of the supreme commander of this war, the former Egyptian president "Anwar al-Sadat", was recovering Sinai, not liberating Palestine, and it did happen.
And about the war in south Lebanon two years ago, in which the Jews incurred heavy losses, when being classified properly, it was a self-defense war, not for the liberation of Palestine.
Thus, it is clear now that the survival of the Zionist entity till now is not due to its strength, however it is because that the neighboring governments don't resist or fight against it, apart from it is being protected by them due to its weakness.
And I assure you that the Zionist entity can't withstand one tenth of the efforts put into the fighting against the Russians by the Mujahedeen in Afghanistan, or one tenth of those made by the Mujahedeen today against America and its agents in Iraq.
O my nation! All these efforts are your sons', not the governments', so trust Allah then trust yourself and stick to the path of Jihad.
And you must know that the weakness of the Zionist entity only is not enough to annihilate it, for the decayed tree despite being weak, must be subjected to force to fall down, and I hope you will be that force which will annihilate the Zionist entity, Allah willing.
I guess I have never really viewed it this way, but these words of Shaykh Osama make 100% sense.
basically it is like this, Israel no matter how strong they are with the advanced technology and nuclear/other weapons that they possess, in the end they are surrounded by a sea of Muslims.
Their situation is like a boat or ship, you can built a modern strong ship in the best possible way, but when it enters the waters the sea will still be able to sink it easily (if Allah wants that to happen)
So it's safety depends on the mood of the sea just like the safety of Israel depends on the state of the Ummah.
