Abstract The year 1948 was the year of the establishment of the usurping and fake Israeli regime, and the generation ofpoets who later wrote poems about the Palestinian issue should be called the generation of "defeat, sadness, and broken-hearted."With the growth of the sense of Arab ethnicity in the region, the victory of the revolutionsof the nations of the world, and the Islamic awakening in it under the shadow of armed resistance, a generation came to the scene of struggle and thought, in whose perspective everything was different from the previous generation. Mahmoud Darwish (1941-2008) is the poet of this generation, who not only fought against the Zionist Jewswith his practical actions and poetry.The present study attempts to explain and depict the image of the Jewish occupiers in Mahmoud Darwish's poetry in an analytical-descriptive manner and its impactonthe mind and understanding of the audience in the Islamic awakening and resistance. (Method) The overall results of this study indicate that in his poetry, especially in his political poems, Darwish uses heritage, symbols, codes, and myths more than he does in depicting the true face of the Jewish occupiers, their beliefs, goals, and role in erasing Islamic and Arab identity and strengthening the spirit of racism based on deviant beliefs and distorted myths of the Jews, and considers his poetry as a tool for challenging and fighting against the occupying enemy (Findings)

Abstract This study evaluates the potential impact of a U.S.-Saudi security agreement on Riyadh’s policy toward the Axis of Resistance. Evidence indicates that although Operation Al-Aqsa Flood has delayed Saudi-Israeli normalization, its eventual realization remains inevitable under conducive conditions. Publicly available information identifies this security pact as a core Saudi precondition for normalization. Key provisions include unprecedented U.S. defense guarantees to Saudi Arabia, American access to Saudi territory, extensive bilateral military cooperation, and civilian nuclear collaboration between Riyadh and Washington. Should the United States accept these terms, Saudi foreign policy toward the Axis of Resistance would undergo profound transformation. Accordingly, analyzing the agreement’s ramifications for Riyadh’s West Asia strategy—while prioritizing Iran’s national interests—is critically important. Data were drawn from documentary sources and analyzed using a qualitative explanatory-analytic method. Findings reveal that U.S. security guarantees would significantly enhance Riyadh’s regional bargaining power against the Axis of Resistance and its core member, Iran. Moreover, de facto Article 5-like protection would shield Saudi Arabia from threats posed by Tehran or other Axis actors. Consequently, if implemented, the agreement could impose a historic security dilemma on the Axis of Resistance, managed jointly by Israel, Saudi Arabia, and the United States within a broad threat-balancing framework.

Abstract Since its establishment, the Jewish state has pursued a repressive approach against Palestinians. Some of these measures have been carried out as legal enactments, providing a veneer of legitimacy. These racially discriminatory laws, depriving the indigenous population of their legal rights while exerting political and security pressure, are rooted in a law that dates back to the colonial era under British rule. This legislation, known as the Emergency Defense Regulations, was introduced by the British Mandatory government. Following the establishment of the Jewish state, the provisions of the same law have been further reinforced to systematically suppress Palestinians.
The central problem addressed in this article is the persistence of the aforementioned law before and after the founding of the Jewish state, the origins of the law, the arguments advanced by its proponents and opponents, and the specific ways it has been implemented against Palestinians, materialized by concrete examples. The article’s hypothesis is that the ongoing state of emergency in Israel, as an entrenched legal structure, has concentrated power in the executive branch and undermined democratic processes and legal oversight, effectively institutionalizing a form of permanent governance based on a “State of Emergency” within Israel’s political system. Palestinians remain the primary target of this security-oriented approach, and the law functions to facilitate measures taken against them. This hypothesis is substantiated through extensive evidence presented in the concluding sections of the article.

Abstract Genocide has been one of the tools of oppressive powers to crush the resistance of believers, and this crime is so reprehensible that they have tried to consider themselves its victims. Now the question is, what are the similarities in the genealogy of genocide by Jewish rulers in the two historical events of Akhdud and the contemporary events of Gaza? (Issue) This research used a descriptive-analytical method and historical, interpretive and news data, and its analytical framework was set based on the interpretation of Surah Akhdud and the Convention on the Prevention of Genocide. (Method) The results of the research show that the events of Akhdud and Gaza are both examples of genocide that were created with the aim of completely or partially destroying a community of believers in one of the religions of Christianity and Islam by Jewish rulers with political motives. In the Akhdud event, this intention was carried out through fire pits and burning of Christian believers, and in Gaza, through the siege, bombing and unprecedented killing of civilians, both of which were considered genocide. It has been condemned in both Surah Al-Akhdud and the Convention on the Prevention of Genocide. These two incidents show that believers in both Christianity and Islam have been the target of organized crime by Jewish officials, but their faithful resistance has led to the failure of the genocidal dictators.

Abstract A primary manifestation of the targeting of Islamic identity is the atrocities occurring in the occupied territories. This article examines the relationship between the Palestinian genocide and the eradication of Islamic identity from an anthropological perspective. It addresses how identity-seeking and de-identification actions were executed by key actors and why these events failed to trigger a widespread Islamic Awakening across the Ummah. Using Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) of official documents and media statistics (Methodology), the study utilizes Manuel Castells’ framework of identity (Legitimizing, Resistance, and Project identity) and the anthropological concepts of "Self" and "Other" (Theory). Findings indicate that Israel’s actions constitute a Legitimizing Identity through cultural, military, and economic mechanisms, aiming for the de-identification of Palestinians via the destruction of collective landmarks, genocide, and demographic engineering. Conversely, Palestinians manifest a Resistance Identity, striving to reproduce and reinforce their cultural existence. conservatism and prioritizing internal security—created a rift between National Identity and Ummah Identity, effectively obstructing the path toward collective religious mobilization.

Abstract One of the most important rites and rites of worship is the Arbaeen walking ceremony, which is held collectively with a divine purpose. Every year, Muslims in this ceremony, on the one hand, announce their existence to the world in different dimensions, and on the other hand, the presence of the pilgrims themselves in this ceremony causes their influence and mutual influence.Therefore, this ceremony has different functions such as religious, social and political functions, etc.; But the experts of the Islamic world have paid less attention to the political functions of this ceremony. For this purpose, this research seeks to answer the question, what are the political functions of the Arbaeen walking ceremony from the perspective of political science experts? (Problem). To answer, the sociological approach and Shannon's Delphi method were used (method). The findings showed that the most important political functions of this ceremony, from the point of view of political science experts, is the increase of the soft power of the Islamic world; unifying Muslims; Strengthening Shiite identity; Islamic awakening; Sacrifice-martyrdom; resistance and anti-tyranny; Enjoining the famous and forbidding the evil; Demonstrating Iraq's security, strengthening Iran-Iraq relations; Education and political staffing and reforming the society and laying the foundation for the emergence of Imam Zaman (A.S.) are (findings).
