Hizbullah's Cultural Mobilization Department Calls For Forming 'Palestine Force' Of 'Resisting' ...

An international seminar on mobilizing students for Palestine, streamed live on YouTube, featured a Hizbullah official Ali Al-Hajj Hassan, head of the Youth Section at Hizbullah's Cultural Mobilization Department, who called for establishing an inter-nation 'Palestine Force' of youth and students across Western and Islamic countries, including the U.S., UK, Germany, Italy, and Australia, who will lead protests in support of armed resistance in Gaza, Iraq, Yemen, and Lebanon, and "carry the spirit of the mujahideen" in their respective countries. He emphasized the Al-Aqsa Flood war, which he said began on October 8, 2023, is a global war between "humanity and the monstrous West". The youth's role in this global war, he said, is crucial at this historic moment, adding: "Wherever we are present, we must influence young people."

Ali Al-Hajj Hassan also recently spoke about his efforts to mobilize pro-Palestinian activism among students on college campuses in the West in an interview on Hizbullah's Al-Manar TV. Other participants in the webinar included Houston-based human rights activist Mohsin Naqvi and Canadian human rights activist Firas Al-Najim of CD4HR.

The following is a transcript of the statements by Hizbullah official Ali El-Hajj Hassan, as translated into English in the original YouTube video.

The Al-Aqsa Flood Battle Is A Global War Between Humanity And The Monstrous West; Professors, University Students, And Academics Rose As Martyrs In This Battle

Ali El-Hajj Hassan: "In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. May peace and blessings be upon the most honorable of creation, Muhammad, and upon his good and pure family. Dear brother, host of this webinar, brother, Tagi Haider Youth leaders and representatives who are defenders of Palestine and Gaza. May peace, mercy, and blessings of God be upon you all on your contribution to this international webinar for students on the issue of Palestine.

"Today our understanding of the Al-Aqsa Flood battle, is that we are in a global war. In fact, this situation represents a global war against Palestine and its people, where all the arrogance and all the arrogant ones have gathered, and all the criminals of the world have gathered against Palestine and its people. This is a war between truth and falsehood, a war between humanity and the monstrous West and the criminal Zionists. It is a war between the arrogant against the oppressed, and between the oppressed and the oppressors. It is a war between the Palestinian resistance and the axis of resistance against the Americans, the Zionists and their helpers.

"In this war, we in the resistance are obligated by our religion, morals and values to be alongside our people in Palestine and our people in the Gaza Strip, and to be a support for the brave and heroic Palestinian resistance. Therefore, The Resistance took this position and took up arms in this battle and opened the battle with the Israeli enemy with pride for the sake of Palestine, its people, and its resistance.
