Campaign Topic

Solidarity with Palestine

The exhibition in Amsterdam was a real source of motivation for us, pushing us to pursue our goals more determinedly. Most people were supportive of the resistance and expressed happiness that we were there. One person we spoke to was a Dutch man who followed the events in Palestine through Al Jazeera. He and his friends had formed a group to defend the people of Palestine. After learning about our activities, he came up with some great ideas to help make our efforts more successful.
For those who approached us, we explained that a ceasefire in Lebanon didn’t mean the end of the war. Some people thought that with this ceasefire, the people of Gaza had also been saved. We shared the truth about the betrayals of Zionism and its allies and how the crimes in Gaza and Lebanon were being forgotten and normalized.
We introduced our campaign brochure, “Who is Imam Mahdi,” and talked about our belief in the world’s savior—not just as Muslims, but as humans. We talked of the life in the noble rule of the righteous where none of these inequalities would exist, and we emphasized their role in the future of the world. Most of them scanned the code on the brochure to learn more about the current state of the world and the future we envisioned, which would be shaped by the savior.

Story 2

As she was passing by, this lady noticed our Palestinian and Lebanese flags. She looked really happy and came over to ask, “What are you doing here?” I told her, “We’re talking about Palestine because we don’t want people to forget about it—especially now after the ceasefire in Lebanon. Many think everything is fine in Gaza too, but it’s not. Things have actually gotten worse there. And Israel has already broken the ceasefire several times, attacking villages on the Lebanese border.” We also told her that we’re really interested in knowing what people think the real solution is. “What do you think can be done?” we asked. She replied, “I just wish there could be peace in the world soon, with no more wars.” I said, “We feel the same. That’s why we believe, just like when a car breaks down and you take it to a mechanic—someone who knows how to fix it—the world is also broken right now. And we need someone who truly knows how to fix human society.” Then I handed her one of our red Christmas brochures and said, “We believe that just like Christians are waiting for Jesus to return as the savior, we also believe in a savior who will come alongside Jesus, and together, they’ll bring real peace to the world.” She found that really interesting and said she’d love to read more about it.

I talked with an Indian woman named Anita — she’s actually from Canada — who was with a Dutch man named Yaran. Anita said she was really happy to see us there. She said, “I support the resistance. I follow Palestine news on Al Jazeera and talk about what’s happening with others. Me and my friends work in other places like the media. We don’t wear keffiyehs and we seem like ordinary people, but we try to bring up Palestine wherever we go. Maybe because we don’t look different, people might only hear a little from us, but don’t think you’re alone. When we talk about Palestine, it’s because you’re here on the front line — standing in the middle of a Zionist city with a keffiyeh on. I think if you’re here, you’ve been inspired by the people in Palestine. Palestinians are on the front line too. We have to resist, because that’s the solution, and we must talk about Palestine so loudly that everyone understands all the things Israel does are because of American imperialism. I am glad to see that Iran Supports Palestine” I told her we have a saying: “If the devil were on one side and Israel on the other, we’d better side with the devil, not Israel.” I also explained that Iran has been anti-Israel since its revolution. Since it was the Christmas season, I gave her a Christmas card and wished her a Merry Christmas. I told her if she wanted, she could read more about the “ultimate solution” we propose — the reappearance of the savior. گفت که من خیلی خوشحالم که میبینم شما اینجا هستین من طرفدار مقاومت هستم من اخبار فلسطین رو از شبکه الجزیره اتفاقات فلسطین افتاده رو دنبال میکنم و با بقیه راجع بهش صحبت می‌کنم. من و دوستانم داریم جاهای دیگه مثل مطبوعات فعالیت می‌کنیم، مثل شما ظاهرمون چفیه نداره و ظاهراً شبیه بقیه هستیم ولی سعی می‌کنیم که هرجا میریم راجع به فلسطین حرف بزنیم فقط چون ظاهرمون شبیه شون هست شاید از ما کمی درباره فلسطین بشنوند ولی این فکر نکنید که تنها هستید، ما اگر راجع به فلسطین حرف میزنیم به خاطر اینکه شما اینجا هستید توی این خط مقدم هستید و با چفیه وسط یک شهر صهیونیستی ایستادید. من فکر می‌کنم که اگر شما اینجا هستید شما هم از مردمی که توی فلسطین هستن الهام گرفتین. فلسطینی ها هم در خط مقدم هستند ما باید مقاومت کنیم و چون این راه حل هست و هم اینکه انقدر راجع به فلسطین حرف بزنیم که به همه دنیا بفهمانیم تمام اتفاقاتی که توسط اسرائیل میوفته به خاطر امپریالیزم آمریکایی ست. من خوشحالم که ایران از فلسطین حمایت میکنه بود. من بهش گفتم ما یه جمله داریم که اگر شیطان در یک طرف بود و اسرائیل در طرف دیگر، ما طرف شیطان رو میگیریم و نه طرف اسرائیل! ایران از زمانی که انقلاب کرد ضد اسرائیل بود. و چون ایام کریسمس بود بهش کارت تبریک کریسمس رو دادم و تبریک گفتم و گفتم اگر دوست داشتی راجع به راه حل نهایی که ما پیشنهاد میدیم که همون ظهور منجی هست بخون!
