Between Nasrallah and Sinwar
Al-Sinwar was quoted as saying something like: We do not become martyrs just to go to heaven. If that were the case, we would do what the rest of the people do: fast, pray, worship God, live seventy or eighty years, and enter heaven. This is a distinct understanding that we did not find among the majority of generations of Islamic history, especially after the inheritance of power since Muawiyah.
As for Hassan Nasrallah, it was as if he said something different from what Sinwar said, in emphasizing martyrdom and focusing on it to enter heaven, when he said: When we are victorious, we are victorious, and when we are martyred, we are victorious. In doing so, he urges fighting injustice and aggression and seizing victory, even martyrdom. Sayyed represented this understanding during his jihadist and struggle career, an advanced model of purity, honesty and will since his early childhood, and distanced himself from the political and religious parties prevalent in the region, perhaps influenced by the killing of Hussein in Karbala, and it seemed as if he was ready to confront injustice everywhere in the world, thus approaching the international revolutionary Che Guevara, "Wherever there is injustice, that is my homeland," the description given by the Fatah leader Abbas Zaki to Qassem Soleimani on the day of his assassination four years ago, that he is the Guevara of the Middle East.
It is true that Nasrallah was a “Sheikh” from the Shiite sect, and he wore its black turban, but he was not sectarian, but rather he urged fighting it, and he criminalized the Takfiris from the sons of every sect, and he did not hide his call for coexistence with everyone, all sects, and even all religions, and all races, according to the divine text “O mankind, - not Muslims, nor even believers - indeed We have created you from male and female, and made you peoples and tribes, that you may know one another - not that you may fight one another - indeed, the most honorable of you in the sight of God is the most righteous of you.” Thus we saw how close Nasrallah came to secularism, during his political career as Secretary-General of the party, and his entry into the Lebanese parliament and government under the leadership of a president who professes the Christian religion.
Sinwar, who became the head of Hamas, was not a sheikh with a white turban. He emerged from a religious and political movement that was controversial and divisive, the “Muslim Brotherhood,” which pledged itself to the arms of kings and sultans. It saw itself as God’s representative on earth, and that religion was not only for God, but also for the homeland, which could not be outside of religion. According to the group’s theorist, Sayyid Qutb, religion is the homeland and “sovereignty belongs to God” alone.
Since the two mujahideen joined hands, put their hands in each other's hands, and their hearts in the range of one heartbeat, and before the hands and hearts, one mind that puts aside the color of the turban and the rest of the aspects of the controversial heritage, Zionist Israel, not the Jewish one, has been living its worst nightmares, not only the flood of October 7, but a whole year of nightmares. Who would have expected that it would be bombarded in its depths with hundreds of daily missiles, when it could not bear to be bombarded with a stone, brought by its representative at the United Nations, Gilad Erdan, a few months before the flood, and said: Who among you would accept receiving a stone like this?
