“The greatest jihad is to speak the word of truth to a tyrant.”
–Islam’s Beloved Prophet Muhammad
Mohamed Khodr
One down, twenty one to go.   The young man who burned himself alive in Tunis,
Mohamed Bouazizi, was a university graduate prevented by police from selling 
fruit and vegetables to make a living    He committed suicide to protest the 
loss of his humanity under Ben Ali’s tyrannical rule.
His death sparked a revolution in Tunis and awakened the minds and souls of 
oppressed Arabs across the region who sprang to the street to revolt against 
their own American owned and run tyrants.  Ben Ali was one of America’s 
favorite  brutal Arab tyrants who for decades oppressed his people, denied their 
humanity, freedoms, and abused at will and whim their human rights.   He 
embezzled billions of the people’s money for himself, his wife, family, and 
cronies.   At the end he could not withstand the power of a spontaneous mass 
uprising demanding his removal.  He escaped like a frightened mouse from the 
unleashed peaceful wrath of his subjugated subjects.
The light of this young man’s fire has lit a spark across the Arab world where 
people overcame their fear and apathy to demand their freedom from their 
American owned and run tyrants.  From Algeria to Egypt; from Yemen to Jordan, 
from Lebanon, Syria, to Palestine, the streets are alive with the sounds of 
humanity long deprived of their most basic needs: freedoms, jobs, housing, an 
education, health care, clean water and sewage systems, electricity, and above 
all safety and security from multiple and brutal security services who only 
serve to protect the monarchs and military dictators
The Wikileaks papers proved the treasonous inhumane surrender of these tyrants 
to the will of America, a nation whose foreign policy in turn is surrendered to 
Israel.    America and Israel have massacred millions of Arabs under the pretext 
of security and war on terrorism.   To secure their power Arab tyrants have 
given a free hand to both imperial powers to commit genocide against those who 
seek freedom from their oppressive hegemony, occupation, and destruction of 
lives and property.
Thus these American tyrants have engulfed in whole without any conscience that 
all who oppose Israel in the region such as Iran, Syria, Hezbollah, and Hamas, 
are also a threat to their power.   Hence, protecting Israel’s security means 
protecting their own.   Because these entities do not submit and surrender to 
the imperialism of Israel and America they are called “terrorists”.   But 
murderous dictators who do are “moderate regimes”.  That’s why to these tyrants 
Iran is their primary enemy that must be attacked and bombed, not Israel, that 
is Judaizing Jerusalem, threatening Al Aqsa mosque with destruction, or 
massacring  Palestinian children who go through the cracks of the Apartheid Wall 
to go to school.
Now come the “Palestinian Papers” that not only reveal but confirm what 
Palestinians and Arabs have always known–the Palestinian leadership of Mahmoud 
Balfour Abbas, Saeb Sharon Erakat, Ahmed Ben Gurion Qurei, Mlohammed Zionist 
Dahlan, and others, have practically conceded Jerusalem and Palestine to the 
murderous genocidal Zionists.   To these thieving traitors Hamas is the enemy, 
not Israel, that on a daily basis murders their people, including children, 
demolishes their homes, burns their olive trees, confiscates more land, 
continuously builds illegal settlements, steals precious water from thirsty 
masses, and permits settlers to kill at will innocent civilians.   These 
murderers not only knew but supported Israel’s genocide on Gaza that killed 
1,500 civilians, including hundreds of children, as well as the deadly four year 
siege of 1.5 million people.  As Saeb Sharon Erakat said: “I hate Hamas.”   Yet 
in none of the documents does he say he hates Israel.  Despite all the 
concessions the Palestinian Authority surrendered to Israel, Israel would slap 
them in the face with total rejection as it did to President Obama’s “request” 
to freeze settlements.
Erakat is the worst of these traitors.  He is impulsive, thoughtless, willing to 
sell his family for a few photo ops in the White House.  An insecure, weak, and 
inept man who’s overwhelmed by his sudden fame.   Yet all are illiterate, inept, 
and corrupt in the art of politics, diplomacy, and negotiation.   However all do 
live in palatial villas and possesses several Mercedes cars.  Not even the late 
Arafat surrendered Jerusalem as these thugs have done.
Only the total resignation of these Palestinian leaders and their judicial 
prosecution can give the Palestinians the dignity and just righteousness of 
their cause.   These traitors have now severed all remaining ties and good will 
with other Arab tyrants.
So my dear brothers and sisters in the Arab world raise your voices, fill the 
streets, have courage, and do not stop until every tyrant, monarch or military 
dictator has been toppled.  This is your Islamic and humanitarian duty.
The greatest values in Islam are freedom, democracy, and justice.   Always be 
just for that is a command from God.   Islam calls for all affairs amongst 
people to be settled by democratic consultations.  No matter what, protest 
peacefully to protect the sacredness of lives and people’s property.
“Their affairs are decided after due consultation among themselves”
(Quran: 42:38)
The uniting power and energy for your Jihad is Islam.   Unite under its banner 
and trust in God.   Islam must be your weapon of mass demonstration.
Do not relent, do not give up, and do not rest until freedom rings from every 
mosque, every church, and every home.  Bring these tyrants to justice to answer 
for their crimes against humanity and their theft of national wealth. .
The Arab world does have nationalistic patriotic men and women who can be 
democratically elected to be your leaders.  Such as the Noble Laureate Dr. 
Mohamed El Baradei in Egypt, Dr. Mustafa Barghouti and Dr. Hanan Ashrawi in 
Palestine.  There are many competent leaders both within the Arab world and 
living in exile.
Do not ever allow the military back into the political arena.   Your leadership 
must all be civilian and a new constitution must never allow the military to 
rule but to be under civilian control   The military is the most dangerous 
threat to any democracy.    Democratically elected civilian leadership must 
replace all the Monarchs and Emirs who inherit power.
It is time to free your bodies and minds from the decade’s long scourge of 
tyranny.
The biggest winner in these revolts will be you and the future of your children.
The biggest loser in these revolts is America, long the protector and savior of 
these tyrants.
The eventual cutting off of all ties to Israel, boycotting its products and the 
products of any American or western company that deals or supports Israel, and 
ending all peace treaties with Israel will be the eventual path of freedom of 
Jerusalem and Palestine.   All American military and intelligence bases in the 
Arab world must be removed.    Islamophobia is rampant in Europe and America yet 
we offer them cheap oil and our land for their military and intelligence 
operations against Muslim nations?  As the Jews say; “Never Again”.
Despite the Palestinian traitors many nations are recognizing Palestine as a 
State and upgrading its diplomatic representation to the status of Embassies.
America overthrew and killed Saddam Hussein because he was a tyrant who 
oppressed his people.  How profoundly hypocritical that this land of the “free” 
supports such tyrants and supports the most racist, tyrannical, and genocidal 
regime in modern history—Israel.
Arab lives are cheap and expendable to America, Europe, Israel and most of all 
to Arab tyrants, willing to allow America to bomb at will and wipe out entire 
villages in the Arab world as long as they can remain on the payroll of the CIA.
Let Freedom ring throughout the Arab world and then learn the word “NO” to 
America and Israel’s genocidal policy for oil and land.
God be with you.   Allah Akbar.
