The flame of resistance cannot be extinguished Gaza is still alive
Scottish Politician and Producer David Miller: “The Resistance in Gaza is Alive and Significantly Impacts the Elimination of Zionist Soldiers. Occupiers Cannot Extinguish the Flame of Resistance.”
A specialized session titled “West Asia After the Al-Aqsa Storm” was held by the secretariat of the third International Morning Media Festival,attended by journalists,documentary filmmakers,and political analysts,including Rezvan Mortazavi,David Miller,and Luis Aldin. The event took place on Thursday morning, May 8, at the conference center of Iran’s state broadcasting organization (IRIB).
No Alternative But Resistance
Rezvan Mortazavi, speaking at the session, stated: “The international community has turned a blind eye to the genocide in Gaza. the Zionist regime seeks to break our will for resistance. The occupiers want us to surrender—but we know well that surrender costs more than resistance. There is no path but resistance. The axis of resistance wages a war of liberation; survival hinges on it.”
He added: “This war is brutal. Media and social networks even censor images of Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah and other resistance leaders. The massacre of women and children in Gaza is unacceptable.”
mortazavi criticized Western media narratives: “They claim Hezbollah fights for money—if that were true, they would wage war for Saudi Arabia instead.” He concluded by warning about Zionist plans to fragment Syria along sectarian lines (Sunni vs. Kurdish regions) and recalled how Qasem Soleimani armed Sunnis during ISIS attacks to defend their land.
The Flame of Resistance Cannot Be Extinguished
David Miller, a Scottish academic expelled from his university for pro-Palestine activism, said: “In 2021, I was barred from teaching after Zionist students attacked me for anti-Zionist views.” He emphasized his work on Islamophobia and declared: “The Zionist regime is weakened—facing crises on its northern borders—and will collapse despite U.S.-UK support.”
Miller condemned Zionism as a corrupt society, citing their public display of crimes in Gaza as evidence (“their actions are beyond civilization”) while alleging child abuse among UK-based Zionist leaders. He affirmed: “Resistance in Gaza remains alive, devastating Zionist forces. Occupiers cannot quell this flame.” He referenced Tehran’s “Palestine Square countdown clock” predicting Israel’s downfall.
surrender Brings No Security
Journalist Luis Aldin accused Israel (“a regime built on violence”) of destroying research centers in Beirut while rejecting peace initiatives to expand occupation policies (“Security cannot come through surrender”). Addressing Western efforts to rename Persian Gulf as “Arabian Gulf,” he noted past Arabic texts validate its original name—paralleling U.S attempts with Mexico’s Gulf.
