Open Letter from Pro-Palestinian Youth to Galant: You Have Neither a Nation Nor a Homeland
according to the English section of webangah News Agency citing Mehr News Agency, Yoav Galant, former Israeli Minister of Defense-whose voice rarely reached Iran-recently decided to send a message to the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution and publicize it through media channels, discussing his role in the 12-day war. We, Palestinian youth, have chosen to write a brief response:
We regret that your offensive failed and that tel Aviv showed no appreciation for you; despite extensive planning for war, you were unable even to return as Minister of Defense. Great commanders before you wrote letters attempting to reach Tehran’s attention as well; yet most of their messages were consigned unopened to history’s trash bin.
We have read your complaints and hope you will consider our advice as well-it may help correct your strategic errors. The so-called “ring of fire” you mention-and fear despite repeated claims of victory-will remain permanently encircling your illegitimate entity because it has roots and a home in this region. Along the borders of the occupied lands, you will find neither friends nor mercenaries-even if you conduct twelve military operations in one year.
Which region or ally do you refer to? The imaginary area in your mind sees you only as a “killing machine” or “modern executioner.” This region refuses recognition by force or threat; upon review it has concluded none of its agreements with you brought peace or progress. How can an entity founded on war, land theft, and genocide be part of any peace framework here?
Your existence is so immersed in military calculations that political analysis eludes you. For years strategists have said no Arab contry benefits from peace with Israel-instead they risk losing political independence or collapsing entirely. If this weren’t true why are you scrambling so desperately for normalization with countries like Saudi arabia, Qatar, Iraq and Lebanon?
You claim plans for military operations against Iran. You speak about political planning? Keep those claims for domestic consumption only.Speak openly about results on the ground: admit that on day one after launching your operation-you suffered severe damage from Iranian forces where Tehran’s streets united against your aggression-not against their own system.
you who designed this operation hide damages caused by Iranian missile responses: missiles costing less than one-tenth what yours cost shattered layers of security systems and imported defense technology and destroyed your claimed might. Whether unaware or under heavy censorship-you faced little distinction between Tel Aviv and Gaza-they both ended up ruins under attack.
Iranian missile strikes caused at least 5 thousand cases worth five billion shekels in damages while transforming all settlers into ”shelter residents” for three days-reminding them they chose poorly their place for migration. The land you’ve occupied is smaller than even a small Iranian city-the problem isn’t size alone but lack of citizenship identity or shared history linking its people together; an entity without citizens doesn’t know homeland love nor recognize belonging.
By contrast Iran-with thousands years’ civilization rooted in its people’s authenticity-their endurance through eight years’ war-the passionate ethnic makeup-they know homeland deep down within bone and blood. You are displaced immigrants who came hoping merely “to live” on occupied land but gained nothing except endless wars-a survival tied intricately only once conflict continues indefinitely how can life endure?
what victory do you seek? In areas under control Hamas killed more than 20 soldiers within days; after hollow threats retreat followed across Lebanon borders-even cheap semi-advanced Yemeni missiles challenged (in your view) Israel’s defenses forcing talks toward halting attacks by Yemenis such weakness cannot credibly wage widespread war on Iran.
You claim Iran spent 40 years developing defensive arsenals capable enough theoretically destroyers; meanwhile Israeli strategy remains focused solely around assassination proving flawed strategic thinking since terror targets non-authentic entities like yourselves not peoples accustomed rising resilient out crises surviving triumphantly instead defeat absorbed constantly becoming further empowered-a case exemplified by Yahya Sinwar whose assassination inspired generations anew across Palestine nuclear knowlege equally unaffected expanding exponentially beyond individual casualties killed memory progress scientific developments alive strong unstoppable yours remain fails efforts suppressing historical memory notable societal advancement ongoing process far outreach violent acts committed daily world-wide ongoing cycle destructive warfare .
Your presence appears merely as an ammunition depot whose soldiers possess hearts filled with harsh religious dogma dangerous when weaponized violently against humanity itself.
You stayed twenty-one months inside gaza constantly encountering epic defeats prepared defensively throughout long-term warfare while remaining asleep figuratively speaking-which “open eyes” do claim then? Your prisons filled annually settlers spying over long decades serving enemies acknowledging happily missile sounds passing multiple defense layers hitting strongest blows finaly toppling entirely what remained existence blackout isolated lost invulnerability illusions gone forever .
You lack nationhood homeland luck because victories belong solely among peoples who truly stand having something vital meaningful left defend protect cherish remaining their eternal right live freely securely prosper fully dignity guaranteed future confident hearts unwavering spirit
