Loyalty to the enemies—foremost among them America and the Israeli enemy entity—submission to them, implementation of their agendas, and serving their interests are catastrophic errors, according to the leader of the revolution, Sayyed Abdulmalik al-Houthi.
In his address, Sayyed Abdulmalik emphasized that "the policy of appeasing enemies" adopted by many governments and peoples—submission and domestication at the expense of religious principles and values, and the relationship with the Holy Quran—represents a catastrophic mistake.
Education System Tampered to Appease Jews
The leader pointed to what is happening in official curricula: "which verses of the Quran remain and which do not, which are deleted, modified, or crossed out." He characterized this as "appeasement of the Jews," posing an extreme danger to the relationship with the Holy Quran, the Prophet, and holy sites—"the greatest, most severe, and most dangerous breach" afflicting the nation.
The Danger of Hostile Takeover of Authority
Sayyed Abdulmalik explained that the path of conscious, practical loyalty to God represents great importance for the nation in the perfection of its religion and in its protection from breach in the position of command, prohibition, and governance.
"This type of breach is the most dangerous," he said, "as the Jews and global Zionism seek to reach the position of governance, enabling comprehensive breach that allows them complete control over peoples' affairs in various cultural, intellectual, ethical, value-based, political, economic, social, and other fields."
This breach leads to the destruction of the nation through corruption, misguidance, and stripping it of elements of strength, achieving aggressive goals that make it subjugated to the authority of the arrogant tyrant. Conscious loyalty to God, by contrast, protects and qualifies the nation to be in the position of "the party of God," enjoying divine care, guidance, support, and victory.
What It Means to Be 'God's Party'
The leader cited the verse: "And whoever is an ally of God, His Messenger, and those who have believed—indeed, the party of God will be victorious." The nation becomes "the party of God" because it carries God's message and cause, moves with truth to confront the people of falsehood, with light to confront the dark ones who work to humiliate and corrupt people, and works to establish justice in confronting tyrants and oppressors.
Enemies Seek to Strip the Nation of Honor
The enemies among Jews and Christians, Sayyed Abdulmalik explained, "seek to remove Muslims from this position."
They want the nation to be stripped of the honor of carrying the message and of rising to those great responsibilities—abandoning the greatest elements of strength, descending in its concerns, becoming susceptible to misguidance, corruption, and dilution, resulting in susceptibility to enslavement and humiliation, and losing its faith-based connection to God and the fruit of Islam in its life.
When this happens, "belonging to Islam becomes belonging without fruit in life—no justice, no goodness, no dignity, no honor, no strength, no honor—while other banners emerge."
Enemies as 'Worst of Creation'
The leader emphasized that the Jewish enemies "move as enemies in every sense of the word, directing their efforts within a purposeful, practical movement to bring the nation to collapse, the lowest level of stripping of honor and strength." The goal is to make the nation susceptible to corruption and misguidance, to penetrate it, and to bring it to normalization with them.
The nation that God intended for independence and an honorable role—carrying the divine message and spreading it throughout the worlds—would become a nation obedient to its enemies, whom God described as "the worst of creation," indeed its most hostile enemy.
This transformation represents a "great catastrophe," the leader said: "the enemies become the commanding and prohibiting authority, obeyed within the nation." Even those who refuse to submit to them are considered the most hostile enemy, enabling the enemies to exploit and enslave the nation easily through destructive, aggressive projects targeting its religion, its worldly affairs, and its hereafter.
Governments Accept Subordination at Religion's Expense
"It is unfortunate that many regimes, governments, elites, parties, and forces accept this role and deal with it based on subordination, obedience, and dictates—at the expense of religion, divine values, and divine instructions that represent goodness, dignity, and honor for the nation," Sayyed Abdulmalik stated.
This approach of subordination to America, Israel, and the West represents a "catastrophe and great calamity" manifested in the political and practical reality of many regimes and forces. The media discusses the content of their meetings with Jews and Christians—extending to various life affairs: political affairs and positions, cultural, educational, military, security, and other matters.
The Betrayal of Gaza
Sayyed Abdulmalik noted that what governed the position of most governments and regimes toward the Israeli aggression—in partnership with America—on the Gaza Strip, including the commission of the most heinous crimes and starvation, was "submission to American dictates and Zionist instructions."
"The position of many regimes and governments, and those with them, was the abandonment of Palestine, spectating what is happening, leaving the Palestinian people in Gaza to starve, watching horrific violations of genocide—killing children, infants, those in their mothers' wombs—killing old and young within the framework of genocide crimes."
American Acceptance as the Criterion of Legitimacy
The leader pointed to the extent of enemy intervention in the nation's affairs, noting that "the criterion in the Arab world, primarily, and in most of the Islamic world, has become that officials and leaders be acceptable to America." He cited what happened in Iraq: "Trump's explicit rejection of al-Maliki assuming the premiership, and the resulting erasure of his name from candidacies because he is not acceptable to America."
The state of breach and intervention in the nation's affairs has reached the point where "the title of legitimacy has become tied to American acceptance." Whoever is not acceptable to America and Israel, and not submissive to them, has no legitimacy—"even if he is a ruler in his country according to internal political foundations, democratic systems, or others. This type of governance is considered lacking legitimacy according to this imposed logic."
