Elias, listen carefully.

As if we were pawns.
As if we had no agency.
No history. No spine. No soul of our own.
But let me remind you.
We are the people who broke the Mongols. Three times.
Who resisted the Ming.
Who outlasted the French.
Who crushed the Japanese.
Who humiliated the Americans.
We weren’t anyone’s project.
We were a people who refused to kneel.
You don’t survive two thousand years of invasion by waiting for someone to "save" you.
We didn’t need saving.
We needed the foreign hands off our soil.
You say the U.S. tried to save us from "an extremely oppressive ideology."
No. The U.S. tried to preserve a client regime.
Tried to maintain a colonial foothold.
And when we resisted, they burned our villages, dropped napalm on our children, and called it freedom.
That same arrogance now insists Israel is "bringing civilization" to a land it violently dismembered.
