Every time someone declares that their primary cause is their country, they are pelted with accusations: “Normalizer,” “traitor,” “selfish.” It’s as if loving one’s homeland and striving to build it has become an unpardonable crime in an age of loud slogans.
The people who outdo others the most in this context often live in stable countries, far from the atmosphere of war and collapse. They enjoy safety, education, health services, and salaries, yet they demand that nations exhausted by conflict deny their homelands and sacrifice them for the “causes of the Ummah,” led by the Palestinian cause.
In fact, they consider anyone who doesn't place Palestine at the top of their priorities, even at the expense of their destroyed country, as a traitor or a coward. But have they truly supported Palestine?
Everything they have done—both the people and the politicians—has not crossed the boundaries of slogans. Their "Jihad" to support Palestine has never left the keyboard.
Phrases like: “We want to liberate Palestine,” “Open the borders for us,” and “Jerusalem is ours,” never pass beyond their throats.
These are slogans launched only to sedate the masses, and the sedated masses always applaud as long as the name of Palestine is mentioned.
More strangely, the same people screaming “Open the borders” know full well that they can reach any country in the world, whether through legal channels or smuggling.
They themselves travel to attend conferences, events, and activities, touring world capitals freely. Why, then, does entering Palestine specifically depend on “Opening the borders”?
The answer is clear: because opening the borders is nothing more than a “oratory play,” said to gain popularity and support, and nothing more.
And if we want to speak clearly, take a blatant example:
Iran, which remained on the borders of Israel from the Syrian side for 14 years, never fired a single bullet toward it. Instead, it directed all its fire and killing machine at the chests of Syrians, defending its project and its falling fugitive vassal.
For them, the enemy was not the “Occupation,” but the revolting Syrian people.
When they were defeated in Syria, the compass of their slogans suddenly shifted once again toward Palestine and “liberating Jerusalem.”
Now, nearly two years have passed while the people of Gaza are being annihilated by all kinds of weapons, and we have not seen anything real from them, their followers, or those of our own kind who lecture us—nothing but empty slogans and structural statements that have long since expired.
Even worse, if you asked one of those enjoying security and stability in their country to request their army enter a war with Israel to support Palestine, they would refuse immediately. They would say: "May God protect our country from strife," or "We don't want to involve our army in losing battles."
Fine, but what about the slogans that gave us headaches?
Where are the cries of: Death to Israel, and “Wait, wait, Jews, the army of Muhammad will return”? Where are the claims of reclaiming Al-Aqsa?
You demand exhausted countries that have emerged from bloody wars against the most despicable criminals known to humanity—who exceed Zionists and others in their criminality—to face an entity possessing the latest weaponry, while you refuse even the thought of entering a battle with it, "even if it bombs or threatens you," out of fear for your own stability!
What hypocrisy is this? To ask others to fight while you enjoy the shade and lecture them with false idealism?
Strangest of all is that if a certain party launches rockets or drones toward Israel, and a "border state" decides to intercept some of them in defense of its airspace and people—"because those drones are not accurate and might fall inside its territory and cause a disaster"—these people begin a campaign of treason against that state!
They ignore its legitimate right to protect its internal security and act as if the peoples of other countries are mere fuel or human shields in battles they do not control.
They call for the support of Palestine, then attack everyone who does not allow their country to be turned into an arena of chaos.
Even self-defense has become, in their eyes, treason if it is not done their way and on their terms.
As for the regimes: their story is deeper. we have seen neither armies moving nor real support from their systems; only enthusiastic speeches used as a political pressure card when needed, and perhaps a “presidential term extension” card when the luster fades. They reignite enthusiasm with the word “Palestine” as if it were nothing more than an electoral incantation.
On the other hand, the nations they lecture are the very ones seeking to rebuild their countries emerging from the hell of wars. Peoples trying to restore their schools, hospitals, and economies, walking through the rubble toward life. Is it reasonable to ask them to leave all that to devote themselves only to "grand causes"?
Saying “My country first” does not mean you are against Palestine or other just causes; it simply means: you will not save someone else while your own house is on fire.
“My country first” is not treason.
True treason is leaving your homeland to drown while you lecture on virtue and posture with slogans that neither fire a bullet nor save a human life.
Conclusion:
If you are sincere in supporting Palestine, then Palestine needs you now more than ever. Stop the speeches and tweets, and be people of word and deed for once, not as you and your politicians have accustomed us—to talk only.
The army you boast of has enough aircraft and naval pieces to reach Palestine without waiting for anyone to “open the borders.” It also possesses missiles capable of reaching any point in Palestine without the need to move armies or open borders.
The field is yours. May God grant you success and victory, and we will pray for you standing and sitting.
And if you don't have the location or don't know the way—neither you nor your army—let me know, I'll send you the address from G o o g l e M a p s .
