SANA'A April 25. 2024 (Saba) - Despite the geographical distance between Yemen and Palestine, the Yemeni people have proven since the dawn of Islam that they are people of chivalry in providing relief to the needy, supporting the oppressed, standing with the truth, and defending the nation’s crucial issues and sanctities in the eastern and western earth.
Yemen's position on the issue of Palestine was and still is the strongest in the Arab and Islamic world. The position increased in its strength and solidity when it carried the jihadist culture of the Holy Qur’an that began from the first day the martyr leader, Hussein al-Houthi, announced his resistance project in 2001, which made the Zionist Jews realize the danger of the Qur’anic project and they recruited other tools to confront it. The course of the battle depleted the nation's energies for a long period of time.
A group of Yemeni and Arab researchers and academics participating in the Second Palestine Conference “The Central Issue of the Nation,” which was held at the end of last Ramadan, confirmed that one of the gains of the Battle of al-Aqsa Flood on October 7, 2023 was that it restored things to normal and brought Yemen's revolutionary and jihadist into direct confrontation with the real enemies of the nation.
Here, the Yemeni News Agency (Saba) reviews the most prominent internal and external research and contributions that show the jihad of the people of Yemen in Palestine throughout history and the ambitions of the Zionist enemy in Yemen and highlights the role of the battle of the promised conquest and the holy jihad in confronting the trio evil of United States of America, Britain and the Zionist entity, in support and victory of the Palestinian cause.
Researcher Dr. Abdul-Wadud Maqashar from the University of Hodeida presented to the conference a scientific research entitled “The Yemeni Role in the Islamic Nation’s Jihad against the Zionist Enemy in Palestine from 1917 until al-Aqsa Flood Operation of 2023 .”
It The research dealt with the stages of the Yemenis’ conversion to Islam in the first years of the Islamic call and their role in carrying the banner of jihad in all corners of the earth, spreading religion and establishing cities and towns and for that sake they endured hardship and effort, so history immortalized that role.
Maqashar pointed out that the Yemeni people conquered the Levant, including Palestine, and settled there, and the sons of Islam and Arabism were exposed to calamities, horrors, and misfortunes until they found the country of Yemen a refuge and homeland, relief and support.
The Yemenis were known for morals that you rarely find in other peoples, the most prominent of which are jealousy, kindness, pride, relief to the afflicted, and support of the oppressed.
Maqashar stressed that the Yemeni people linked to the issues of the nation, including the central issue of Palestine. They adhered the issues through four stages that they went through as an embodiment of the Arab identity of faith, principles, values and ethics.
Meanwhile, the academic teacher Fath al-Shuaibi from Hodeida University discussed “the geostrategic dimensions of Zionist ambitions in the Yemeni islands of Socotra, Perim, also called Mayyun in Arabic, and Hunaish” through an analytical study of those dimensions, whether security, geopolitical, or economic, as well as a discussion of the factors motivating them and their repercussions of the security of Yemen and the region.
Al-Shuaibi explained the geostrategic dimensions of Zionist ambitions on the Yemeni islands, analyzed the strategic factors, and discussed the regional and international repercussions of Zionist ambitions on the islands, through the researcher’s adoption and review of relevant literature to the subject of a deep analytical study of information and current events, highlighting those ambitions and clarifying them for decision-makers and concerned parties.
The academic taher Hafidh Nassari from Bayda
University reviewed the historical relations between Yemen and Palestine, the cultural role of the people of Yemen in Palestine before and after the Islamic conquest, its impact on the Islamic conquest movement for the Levant and Palestine, and the bright image that the people of Yemen occupied through inference from many historical clues and studies indicating the depth of the common historical ties and faith ties between the Yemeni and Palestinian peoples.
Nassari stressed that the Holy Qur’an, the purified Sunnah of the Prophet, and historical sources indicated the existence of Yemeni Arab tribes that resided in the Levant, including Palestine, from the first millennium BC until the Islamic conquest/spread.
He considered that the presence of the Yemeni Arab tribes in land its environs and in the entire Levant facilitated the mission of the Islamic conquest of this country in the first century AH - the seventh century AD and its great impact on the cultural and scientific life of the community and the strengthening of faith ties between the Yemeni and Palestinian peoples.
Academic researchers Hammoud al-Mulaiki and Fayez al-Haruji, addressed the religious and cultural dimensions of the attitudes of the people of Yemen towards the Palestinian issue in an analytical study, by identifying the religious, cultural, social and historical dimensions that affect the attitudes of the people of Yemen towards the Palestinian issue.
Al-Mulaiki and al-Haruji discussed the effects and repercussions of these positions at the regional and international levels, through secondary sources, “religious books, articles, reports, and documents,” analyzing, evaluating, comparing, and drawing conclusions.
They emphasized that the religious dimensions that influence the attitudes of the people of Yemen towards the Palestinian issue are: the Qur’anic legal dimension, which considers jihad/struggle for the sake of God to be the highest level of faith, and the prophetic “faith” dimension, represented by the faith identity that the Yemenis carry and which the Noble Messenger testified to them about and singled them out for.
They pointed out that among the cultural dimensions is the national, historical and geographical dimension, as the Yemenis link an ancient history and heritage with the Palestinians, and they see their standing with their people in Gaza as an integral part of their Arab identity, and they feel a great responsibility towards them in confronting injustice and occupation.
In the same context, Secretary of the external branches of the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine and a member of its political bureau Ibrahim Abu Bashar presented a research entitled “October 7, 2023 - The Integrated Strategy between Palestine and Yemen,” stressing that whoever does not read history does not benefit from his experiences, and this is what happened with the new generation, which was surprised by the role Yemen and its strategic and geopolitical location in relation to Palestine.
He pointed to Yemen's role and its ability to deliver painful strikes against Israel, whether economic or military, as Yemen always responds to the call when common Arab interests are threatened or exposed, especially the Palestinian issue.
Abu Bashar stressed that the study shows that Yemen does not only defend the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip, but also defends common Arab issues, as the American and Israeli administrations want to besiege and encircle the Arab world through projects and waterways and seek to mortgage its independence and decision-making to global imperialism with the aim of exploiting its natural wealth and blackmailing it.
He pointed out that Yemen launched a pre-emptive defensive war against the Israeli projects that were approved by some Arab regimes that have normalized relations with the Zionist entity or that intend to normalize relations with it.
Abu Bashar indicating that the study shows the tactical and strategic Israeli goals that “Israel” set when it announced the Battle of the Iron Swords related to displacement, liquidating the Palestinian cause, which was thwarted by resistance, through confrontation and persistence.
The study also revealed the extent of the impact of what Yemen did in support of the Palestinian cause and its strategic dimensions, which have a common Arab, Yemeni and Palestinian interest, on the Israeli economy through its location on the Red Sea and the dimensions of the formation of an American alliance that includes dozens of countries in order to bomb Yemen under the pretext of protecting navigation and international trade.
Academic teacher Amal al-Humairi from Sana'a University discussed “The Palestinian Issue in the Yemeni Educational Curricula - A Historical and Analytical Study of Selected Models.”
Al-HUmairi showed the mechanism of how the school curriculum addresses the Palestinian issue in the primary and secondary stages, the extent of the issue’s presence in educational programs, the reasons for the disappearance of some historical texts and the change in vocabulary and terminology from some prescribed curricula.
She pointed out the extent to which the Yemeni school curricula contain sufficient knowledge and information through which the status of al-Quds and the Palestinian issue is highlighted in the students’ thoughts, and the extent to which the Arabic language and literature curricula include texts by resistance writers and poets of Palestine under the name of resistance literature, as well as the extent of Yemen’s political role in supporting the Palestinian issue and its repercussions of Education curricula and school curricula.
The researcher focused on a number of selected curricula for years, analyzing them, identifying some of the obstacles facing the inclusion of the Palestinian issue in the Yemeni school curricula, and developing proposals and recommendations to include in the curriculum texts and literature that work to educate students about the importance of the Palestinian issue and the necessity of defending it and solidarity with it using modern and influential educational means.
She emphasized that the school curricula had neglected the role of the Yemenis in supporting the Palestinian cause since the 1948 war and the departure of many volunteer fighters, considering it the central mother issue, and did not mention official and popular efforts in all curricula from primary to secondary, but were limited to previous curricula that adopted the historical narrative method of the Palestinian cause.
Academic teacher Salah al-Qawsi from Dhamar University presented “The role of the Palestinian resistance in moving Yemeni military thought to attack Israeli strategies in the southern Red Sea 1971-1973 AD,” and highlighted Yemen’s role in supporting the Palestinian resistance to threaten and weaken Israeli strategies in the Bab al-Mandab Strait and the southern Red Sea, as well as threatening, navigation by attacking Israeli ships.
The incident of the Liberian tanker Coral Sea, which was bombed by one of the Palestinian resistance boats in June 1971, was considered one of the most important changes in the history of the Arab-Israeli conflict as it moved Yemeni military thought to stand by the Palestinian resistance to confront the Israeli enemy and impose the largest naval blockade witnessed in the conflict.
He touched on the role of the Palestinian resistance in inciting Yemeni military thought through its attack on the Israeli tanker, the effects of the Coral Sea incident on the region, the role of Yemen in striking Israeli strategies and eliminating espionage plots in the region, and Yemen’s participation in the naval blockade of Israel in October 1973.
While academic teacher Lamia Anwar Yacoub from September 21 University discussed “the imbalance of the Palestinian political demographic map - the Jewish Agency and its activity in Yemen in the years 1908-1967 AD,” and explained how dangerous that agency was and how it contributed to consecrating Zionist settlement and resettlement in Palestine with the influxes of Yemeni Jews to it, which led to the demographic and political imbalance of the Palestinian map.
She reviewed the results of the political scene from the visit of the head of the Jewish Agency, David Ben-Gurion, to the immigration office in Aden, and the agency’s relationship with the governor of Aden’s refusal to settle European Jews in some areas of Yemen, pointing to the problem of the disappearance of Yemeni Jewish children in 1950, which was recently raised, and has political roots and aspirations dating back to 1930s.
Academic teacher Ayoub Al-Mahab, a researcher at the Ministry of Agriculture and Irrigation in Sana’a, presented a paper entitled “Land and Water: A Struggle for Survival in Palestine,” using satellite images and GIS maps, in which he focused on the critical challenges associated with the rights, management, and use of land and water resources in Palestine.
Researchers Ali Al-Aqhoumi and Mujahid al-Shaabi reviewed Yemen’s political, military and popular role in supporting the Palestinian cause after al-Aqsa Flood operation, and demonstrated the strategic impact of the Yemeni position on changing the regional and international equation by supporting the brotherhood in Gaza.
They stressed that the Yemeni position restored to the Arab and Islamic nation its bright history, gave it hope to rise to restore its glory, and revealed the truth about the arrogant states that support the usurping occupier and the lies of their false humanitarian and human rights slogans, and the correctness of the Yemeni position and the success of its steps and the duty to take them in support and support of the Palestinian people in Gaza.
Al-Aqhoumi and al-Shaabi touched on the dimensions and implications of political geography and al-Aqsa Flood Operation, and its role in playing a pivotal and helpful role for the Palestinian resistance in the implementation and success of the Flood Operation, as well as its role in determining the course of the battle between the resistance and the occupation army, and changing the rules of the political and military game in the occupied Palestinian territories in favor of the Palestinian resistance, holding on for more than six months in a row.
Academic teacher Abdo Ghailan from Dhamar University reviewed the role of the resistance media in supporting the Palestinian cause, and its impact in highlighting the psychological connotations of the Arab peoples in supporting the Palestinian cause, knowing the psychological dimension of the Arab peoples and showing the role of the media and its impact on that dimension by going out in demonstrations and marches in support of the Palestinian cause, revealing the impact of media misinformation on the Palestinian issue.
