With every bomb dropped on Gaza, with every innocent child martyred, with every woman dying in a powerless hospital, not only is the grotesque face of Zionism exposed, but so is the deformed core of the dominant global political order.
The truth is this: oppression is not merely the product of individuals — more fundamentally, it is the outcome of structural designs and doctrinal choices.
When political and legal systems are founded on self-referential rationalism, power-seeking, and the exclusion of religion from public governance, it is inevitable that unqualified individuals will rise to the top — and what follows is the tragedy we witness today in Gaza and across the Islamic world.
Whenever legitimacy stems not from divine values but from wealth, media, or military might, the result is not justice — it is massacres, discrimination, and the erosion of human conscience.
Where sovereignty is rooted in divine law, in the Book of God, and in the leadership of the righteous, politics serves humanity. But where it is based on ego, race, money, or force, politics becomes the enemy of man.0
Gaza stands today as undeniable, concrete proof of this reality. Because in this arena, it is not only Zionism that has collapsed, the entire framework of those who claim to uphold human rights, democracy, justice, and international order has crumbled one by one.
The United Nations, the UN Security Council, international courts, and global media outlets are either justifying the violence, being silent, failing to act, or actively complicit in the ongoing genocide perpetuated by the Zionist regime with the help of its Western allies.
This legal, moral, and political collapse affirms the world’s urgent need for alternative structures — systems not based on short-term interests, but rooted in innate human nature and divine reason.
At the heart of these new structures must stand governments formed by the free and upright — nations united by faith in God, belief in justice, and trust in the righteous.
Today, more than ever, there is a desperate need for the realization of a doctrine of divine governance — a vision once proclaimed by architect of the Islamic Revolution Imam Khomeini and carried into action on the battlefield by top anti-terror commander General Qassem Soleimani.
The US-backed Israeli regime is carrying out a calculated, multi-layered genocide in Gaza — from years of bombing unarmed civilians to it's current ethnic cleansing through mass starvation.

This is no longer merely a matter of belief or even rational theory. It is the fruit of lived experience, of the shared reason and agony of an entire era.
Anyone who still doubts the necessity of religious sovereignty, the formation of a united Ummah of the free, and the centrality of the righteous, is either blind to reality or intellectually anesthetized.
No rational mind today can continue to regard the modern but hollow structures — which are openly complicit in Zionist genocidal crimes — as valid references for justice, unless it has parted ways with both conscience and nature.
Gaza is not only a victim — it is a testimony. A living proof that the world, without God, without religion, and without righteous leadership, is moving toward ruin.
And this is a decisive argument for all scientific, political, media, and academic elites: in the face of this scene, there remain only two choices — to stand with truth, or to become, even in silence, a partner in injustice.
