The Sacrifices of GazaÖ and Conspiracies

The Sacrifices of Gaza… and Conspiracies

By: Ayman Al-Zawahiri

In the Name of Allah. All praise is due to Allah, and may peace and blessings be upon the
Messenger of Allah, and upon his family, companions, and all those who have allied with
him.

My Muslim brothers everywhere... Asalamu alaykum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakaatuhu.
To proceed:

The criminal Israeli forces have begun their withdrawal from Gaza, leaving behind more
than 1300 people martyred and 5000 injured, and destruction, devastation, horrors and
pains which will never be erased from the history of the Islamic nation.

A new butchery from the many Zionist-Christian Crusader butcheries against Islam and the
Muslims. The Mujahidoon remained firm in this new butchery against the tyranny of the
Zionist-Christian Crusader war machine and did not surrender or bow before it. Rather,
they fought against it, seeking a noble death, rejecting a life of humiliation. Congratulations
to the Mujahidoon of Gaza for this show of courage, heroism and sacrifice. I ask that Allah
accept it from them and give them the best of rewards. Congratulations to all our fellow
Muslims in Gaza for their martyrs chosen by Allah (SWT). Congratulations to them for the
example they set for the Muslim nation. Congratulations to them for their patient acceptance
of the Decree of Allah, their patience in their time of what befell them and their trust in Help
of their Lord. Allah, the Truth (SWT) says:

َ َ ِّ َ ِ ‫ َن‬ُ ْ َ‫ َو‬ ‫ َن‬ََْ ًََ ِ‫ َن‬َ ًَََُِْ ْ ُ ُّ َِ ‫ َن‬ُ ََْ ‫ْا‬ُُ َ ‫ن‬ِ‫إ‬ ‫ِم‬ْ َْ ‫ا‬ ‫ء‬َ ِْ ‫ا‬ ِ ‫ْا‬ُِ َ َ‫ َو‬
‫ َن‬َ ‫ َو‬ ‫ َن‬ُ ْ َ

"And don't be weak in the pursuit of the enemy; if you are suffering then surely,
they (too) are suffering as you are suffering, but you have a hope from Allah that for
which they hope not, and Allah is Ever All Knowing, All Wise." [Surah Al-Nisaa (4):
104]

We reemphasize to our brother and sisters, loved ones and kinfolk in Gaza that we are with
them, seeking avenge for them in Afghanistan, Iraq, Somalia and Algeria, battling the
Modern Crusades from Chechnya to Somalia, and from Afghanistan to the Islamic West. I
give them the good news that when Israel was bombing Gaza, the Steadfast, the traitorous
Pakistani government was forced to close the NATO supply lines running from Karachi to
Jalalabad under the pressure of the military attacks of your brothers from the Mujahidoon
in Pakistan.

My Muslim nation, this Zionist-Christian Crusader invasion has exposed many realities
which should have now become clear to the Muslim nation without any ambiguity. This
Zionist-Christian Crusader invasion has revealed that if we do not defend ourselves and

fight Jihad, the jets, tanks, and missiles which struck Gaza, Afghanistan, Iraq, and Somalia
will strike Riyadh, Cairo, Algeria and Islamabad tomorrow.

This Zionist-Christian Crusader invasion has revealed the fact that the official Arab regimes
have no interest in defending the Muslim nation; rather they only sell it to its enemies in
order to remain in power. The treachery and betrayal of the official Arab regimes has
become more exposed now than ever before. left Gaza bleeding and twisting in pain and
grief, while they watched with all inattention and idiocy. Not only this, but they actively
besieged Gaza and strangled it, preventing its people from fleeing the criminal death
machine which pursued them. The traitorous Egyptian regime boasted that they allowed
some medicine to pass through to the wounded, but as for those still alive, it imprisoned
them in Gaza so that the jets, tanks, missiles and Israeli battleships could pulverize them.

This Zionist-Christian Crusader invasion has revealed the fact that today, the Muslim
Ummah stands alone in the battlefield, for the various governments have proved traitorous,
and the various committees have surrender to these governments and await their permission
to wage Jihad, meaning that we must await the permission of America-the Crusaders, to
fight Jihad against America-the Crusaders.

Thus, the Ummah must make a move, and it must not await the approval of these various
committees that are too scared to fight, those who await the approval of the enemy's agents
to fight Jihad. So it is hoped in the masses of the Ummah and its individuals that they make
a move and strive, plan and organize to repel this Zionist-Christian Crusade and remove its
agents.

The Ummah must make a serious and effective move, for protests, even though they
express the anger of the masses, are not sufficient to combat jets and tanks. Rather, these
corrupt proxy governments may even use them as a means to release the volcanic anger of
the masses.

This Zionist-Christian Crusade will never end nor be repelled except through the sacrifice
of life, blood and weaponry. This Zionist-Christian Crusade against Islam and the Muslims
will never be vanquished except through war.

َ ْ َ ْ ‫ِھ‬ْ ُ‫ َو‬ َ ِِ ْ ‫ٍم‬ْ َ ‫ َر‬‫و‬ُ ُ ُِّ ‫ َْو‬ َ‫ُء‬‫ َو‬َ ْ َِْ ََ َ ُْ ََْ ُ ُّ َ‫ َو‬‫ ُب‬ْ ‫ِھ‬ُِ َ‫ َْو‬ُ‫و‬َْ ِ ِْ ُ ُُِ ْ َِ ُّ ُ ُ ْ َ ُ ْ ‫ ُھ‬َُِ
ٌ ِ َ ٌ َِ

"Fight against them so that Allah will punish them by your hands and disgrace
them and give you victory over them and heal the breasts of a believing people. And
remove the anger of their (believers') hearts. Allah accepts the repentance of whom
He wills. Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise." [Surah Al-Tawbah (9):14-15]

ُّ ‫ َو‬ ‫ْا‬‫و‬ُ ََ َ ِ ‫ا‬ ‫ َس‬َْ ُ َ ‫ن‬َ‫أ‬ ُّ َ ًَِ ََ َِِ َْ‫أ‬‫و‬َُ ْ ً‫ا‬‫ْ ِض‬َ ََ ‫أََو‬ َ َ ْ َ ِ‫إ‬ ُ َ ُ َ ِّ ِ َِ ِ ْ ََِ

"Then fight in the Cause of Allah, you are only held responsible for yourself, and
incite the believers (to fight along with you), it may be that Allah will restrain the evil
might of the disbelievers. And Allah is Stronger in Might and Stronger in
punishing." [Surah Al-Nisaa (4):84]

This Zionist-Christian Crusade has revealed the coordination and alliance of the Western
Crusaders against Gaza, for all the Western nations backed Israel and stated that the victims
deserved what they got.

As for Obama, he stated that he had "deep concern" over the loss of civilian life in Gaza…
"deep concern"!, we are much obliged by your "deep concern" Mr. Obama. Your "deep
concern" has reached us coupled with thousands of missiles and tons of white
phosphorous mixed with the blood, body parts and tears of the Muslims in Gaza. But it
seems as if the "deep concern" of Obama did not last for long, as he did not mention even a
word of what occurred in Gaza in his inauguration speech, as if nothing ever took place.

Today, the Crusader West has conspired with the traitors amongst the Arabs to put
pressure on the Mujahidoon so that Israel may succeed in gaining through conspiracy what
it could not gain through war, destruction and its fierce weaponry, today, these
coconspirators seek to bring back Mahmoud Abbas to Gaza on the tip of the Israeli spear,
while Condoleezza Rice comes out and announces that Mahmoud Abbas is the leader of all
Palestinians.

The present goal is to distract the Mujahidoon from liberating Palestine to liberating Gaza,
and then from liberating Gaza to maintaining its security and ensuring that this
transgression does not reoccur, and then from ensuring that this transgression does not
reoccur to total surrender by agreeing to ban the entry of weapons and opening its border
crossings.

In order to battle this conspiracy of the Western Crusaders and traitors from the Arabs, the
Muslims and the Mujahidoon must stand together so that the Jihad to liberate Palestine and
the rest of the Islamic lands does not cease, and so the sacrifices of the Muslims of Gaza is
not wasted in politic settlements and international agreements. I deem that the Mujahidoon
in Gaza, by the Grace of Allah, are well-aware of these conspiracies, and I deem that the
Zionist-Christian Crusader invasion has only increased their determination, resolve, and
keenness to liberate the rest of Palestine from its river to its sea, and to recover the usurped
Masjid Al-Aqsa. The Mujahidoon in Gaza, the rest of Palestine and the rest of the Islamic
world know well that Palestine as well as all other occupied Muslim lands will never be
liberated except through Jihad. In order for Jihad to continue, one must stand to face every
conspiracy which seeks to besiege Gaza and prevent weapons from reaching it.

Indeed breaking this siege of Gaza to prevent the entry of ammunition and weaponry to its
Mujahidoon is one of the most important obligations of the time.

I would also like to remind my brother Mujahidoon in Gaza that our enemy in Gaza is not

only Israel, but rather the Zionist-Christian Crusader alliance, and at its head America, the
leader of all evil and the Hubal of the times. Israeli and American interests can be found
everywhere. If the conditions are tight in one place, they may be easier at many other
places, and if some of their interests are heavily guarded in some areas, there are many
others which are open and threatened. Anyone who takes part in the siege of Gaza and
prevents weapons from reaching the Mujahidoon is an enemy of Islam and the Muslims,
and it is an obligation to repel them and inflict harm upon them.

The current battlegrounds against the Crusaders and their aides in Iraq, Afghanistan, and
Somalia are open to any Mujahid who wishes to train, prepare, or plan for the liberation of
the Islamic world. The Mujahidoon everywhere are prepared to help the Mujahidoon in
Gaza and elsewhere with all they can - financially, morally, and physically.

We must break the siege of Gaza, and we must ensure that weapons reach the Mujahidoon
there, and all those who seek to force them with the current state of affairs which pleases
the Crusaders and the Jews in Gaza must be punished.

What is taking place in Gaza is only part of the Zionist-Christian Crusade targeting this
Muslim Ummah in Chechnya, Afghanistan, Iraq, Palestine, Somalia, Algeria, and Darfur,
rather every Arab nation and many Islamic nations which claim to be independent. The
reality is that they are occupied, either by the physical presence of the Crusader armies, or
indirectly by being subjugated to their authority.

What Gaza has felt is only a part of what Grozny, Kabul, Baghdad, and Mogadishu has
felt. We are fighting the same Jihad against one enemy on different fronts. We will never
attain victory except through obedience to our Lord (SWT), who ordered us in His Noble
Book to ally with the believers, to take the infidels as enemies and to come to the aid of the
weak and oppressed. Allah, the Truth (SWT) says:

َ‫ َر‬ ‫ َن‬َُُ َ ِ ‫ا‬ ‫ ِن‬‫ا‬َ ْ ِ ْ ‫ا‬‫ َو‬ ‫ء‬َ ‫ا‬‫ َو‬ ‫ ِل‬َ ‫ا‬ َ ِ ََ ََِ ْ ْ ‫ا‬َ‫ َو‬ْ َُ ُْ‫ْھا‬‫و‬ََ‫أ‬ ِِّ ِِ ‫ا‬َِِ َْ َِْ‫ا‬ ‫ َِهن‬ِ‫ُـ‬‫ َھ‬َُِِْ ََُْْ َِ ْ ََ‫أ‬‫ َو‬
َ ِ ‫ا‬ ً‫ا‬ِ َ َ ُ ِ َ َ ْ ‫ا‬‫ َو‬ ًِّ‫ َو‬ َ ُ ِ
‫ن‬ ِ‫إ‬ ‫ ِن‬َ ْ ‫ا‬ ‫ء‬َِ‫ ْو‬َ‫أ‬ ‫ْا‬ََُِ ‫ ِت‬ُ ‫ا‬ ِ َِ ِ ‫ َن‬َُُِ ‫ْا‬‫و‬ُ ََ َ ِ ‫ا‬‫ َو‬ ِّ ِ َِ ِ ‫ َن‬َُُِ ‫ْا‬َُ ‫آ‬
ًِ َ ‫ َن‬َ ‫ ِن‬َ ْ ‫ا‬ َ ْ َ

"And what is wrong with you that you fight not in the Cause of Allah, and for those
weak, ill treated and oppressed among men, women, and children, who cry: 'Our
Lord! Rescue us from this town whose people are oppressors, and raise for us from
You one who will protect, and raise for us from You one who will help'. Those who
believe fight in the Cause of Allah, and those who disbelieve fight in the cause of
false deities. So fight against the friends of Satan; Ever feeble indeed is the plot of
Satan." [Surah Al-Nisaa (4):75-76]

Allah, the Truth (SWT), also says:

‫ َن‬ُ ُِ‫ َو‬ ِ َ ُ ْ ‫ا‬ ِ َ ‫ َن‬ْ َ ْ َ‫ َو‬ ‫ ِف‬‫و‬ُ ْ َ ْ ِ ‫ َن‬‫و‬ُ ُ َْ ٍ ْ َ ‫ء‬َِ‫ ْو‬َ‫أ‬ ْ ُ ُ ْ َ ‫ ُت‬َِ ْ ُ ْ ‫ا‬‫ َو‬ ‫ َن‬ُِ ْ ُ ْ ‫ا‬‫ َو‬

ٌ ِ َ ٌ ِ َ َّ ‫ن‬ ِ‫إ‬ ُّ ُ ُ ُ َ ْ ََ َ ِ‫َـ‬‫ ْو‬ُ‫أ‬ َُُ ‫ َر‬‫ َو‬ َّ ‫ َن‬ُ ِ ُ‫ َو‬ َ‫ة‬َ ‫ا‬ ‫ َن‬ُْ ُ‫ َو‬ َ‫ة‬َ ‫ا‬

"The believers, men and women, are supporters of one another, they enjoin good,

and forbid from evil; they perform the prayer and give the Zakah, and obey Allah
and His Messenger. Allah will have His Mercy on them. Surely Allah is All-Mighty,
All-Wise". [Surah Al-Tawbah (9):71]

If the Zionist-Christian Crusade is confronting us everywhere, striking at Islam and the
Muslims all over the world in what they call the "War on Terror", while in actuality it is a
"War against Islam", why can't we strike them everywhere? Why must we wait for the
enemy to choose for us the time, place, battleground and mode of warfare?

My Muslim Ummah, you may no longer need more clarification to realize the alliance of
the Arab and Muslim rulers with the Zionist-Christian Crusade against Islam and the
Muslims.

But the important question is: what should we do?

The answer is that we can all strongly, effectively, and seriously work together to repel this
Zionist-Christian Crusade against Gaza, Palestine and the rest of the Islamic world, if we
purify our intentions and strive with all our efforts.

All those capable of making Jihad must set out to the present battlefields of Jihad in
Chechnya, Afghanistan, Iraq, Palestine, Somalia, and Algeria, and no sincere person who
seeks the Pleasure of Allah should await the permission of anyone, for Jihad today is an
individual obligation in which permission is not sought from one's father, spouse, or
loaner. What do you think, O Muslim, about one who tells you to seek the permission of a
traitorous ruler to make Jihad? The wealthy must support the Mujahidoon financially so
that the Crusaders do not succeed in their plans of besiegement. Allah, the Truth (SWT)
says:

ٌ ِ َ َْ ‫ا‬ ُ‫ة‬ََ ‫ا‬ َ ِ‫إ‬ .‫َھ‬ْ َُُ َ ُ ْْ ََ‫ْأ‬ َُْ ‫ن‬َ ِِ‫إ‬َ.ْ ُ ََ‫اَو‬َ ْْ ُ َ‫أ‬َ َْ ُ َُْ ْ ‫ََو‬ ‫ن‬َ َ ‫و‬ََْْْ ُ َ‫َْر‬‫ا‬ ُُ ُُ‫أ‬َ‫أ‬ْ‫ َو‬ُ ِِْْ ُ ‫ا‬‫ا‬ ََُِ‫وإ‬َ ‫ا‬‫ا‬ُ ُِْ َْ ‫َُو‬ ‫ا‬ُِ َ َ
‫ ْج‬ِ ْ ُ‫ َو‬ ‫ا‬َُ ْ َ ْ ُ ِْ َُ ‫ن‬ِ‫إ‬‫ َو‬ ٌ ْ َ‫ َو‬
َ ُ َْ ُ ْ ََََْ َ‫أ‬ِ‫ا‬َُْ َُ َََْ َ ُ‫ َو‬ْ ُ ُ ََ ْْ ََ ً ْ َُ ‫ل‬ْ ِِ َْ َِْ َ ‫ِا‬ََِْ ََ‫ن‬ِِ‫إ‬‫َاو‬ُ‫ء‬ِ‫ا‬َ َُُِ‫ن‬َْ ‫ا‬ُْ ََُْ‫أ‬ُ‫و‬َ ‫ء‬َ ُ ‫ َھ‬ ُْ ُ‫أَ َو‬‫َھ‬ِِ .ْْ ََُ ْ َ‫أ‬
َِ ْ ‫ا‬

"So be not weak ,asking for peace while you have the upper hand. Allah is with you,
and He will never decrease the reward of your good deeds. The life of this world is
but play and folly; but if you believe, and fear Allah, and avoid evil, He will grant
you your wages, and will not ask you your wealth. If He were to ask you of it, and
press you, you would covetously withhold, and He will bring out all your (secret) ill-
wills. Behold! You are those who are called to spend in the Cause of Allah, yet
among you are some who are niggardly. And whoever is niggardly, it is only at the
expense of his own self. But Allah is Rich (Free of all needs), and you (humankind)
are poor. And if you turn away, He will exchange you for some other people. And

they will not be your likes." [Surah Muhammad (47):35-38]

The Muslim nation must move with all its skills and abilities to remove these traitorous
rulers who are corrupt and spread corruption. They must organize and combine their efforts
and bear with the consequences patiently. The Ummah will never progress, be liberated,
gain independence or recover its honor and might as long as those corrupt and corrupting
rulers are perched on our chests so that the plans of the Zionist-Christian Crusaders who
seek to stamp out Islam and the Muslims are realized.

All those who are unable to join the ranks of the Mujahidoon must strive to support them
with weapons, information, experience, and anything else which the Jihad and the
Mujahidoon are in need of.

َْ ‫ا‬ ‫ ِة‬ََ ْ ِ ُِ ‫ َر‬َ‫أ‬ ‫ ِض‬‫ْر‬َ‫ا‬ َِ‫إ‬ ْ ُْ َ‫ا‬ ِّ ِ َِ ِ ‫ْا‬‫و‬ُ ِ‫ا‬ ُ ُ َ َ ِ ‫ا‬‫ َذ‬ِ‫إ‬ ْ ُ َ َ ‫ْا‬َُ ‫آ‬ َ ِ ‫ا‬ َ َ‫أ‬ َ
ًْ َ ‫ ْل‬ِ ْ َْ َ‫ َو‬ ًَِ‫أ‬ ً‫ا‬َ َ ْ ُ ْ َ ُ ‫ْا‬‫و‬ُ َِ ِ‫إ‬ ٌُّ ِ‫ََو‬ ًِْ‫إ‬َ ‫ ِة‬َ ُ‫ه‬ِ ‫و‬ ‫ا‬ُ َََِ‫َو‬ْ ْ ُ‫ا‬َ‫ ِة‬ْ ََ َ ْ ‫ا‬ ‫ ُع‬ََ َ َ ‫ ِة‬َ ِ ‫ا‬ َ ِ
ٌ ِ َ ‫ ٍء‬ْ َ ُ ََ

"O you who believe! What is the matter with you, that when you are asked to march
forth in the Cause of Allah you cling heavily to the earth? Are you pleased with the
life of this world rather than the Hereafter? But little is the enjoyment of the life of
this world as compared with the Hereafter. If you march not forth, He will punish
you with a painful torment and will replace you by another people, and you cannot
harm Him at all, and Allah is Able to do all things." [Surah Al-Tawbah (9):38-39]

And the last of our prayers is that all praise is due to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds, and
may peace and blessings be upon our leader, Muhammad, and upon his family and
companions.
