The Fifteenth Ramadan Lecture by the Leader: From the Story of Moses to the Reality of the Nation – A Quranic Reading Exposing the Project of Subjugating Peoples and the Alliance of America and the Zionist Entity

In the context of the Ramadan lectures, which constitute a Quranic school of awareness and insight, the Leader, Abdul-Malik Badr al-Din al-Houthi, presented in his fifteenth lecture an in-depth reading of the story of the Prophet Moses (peace be upon him), extracting from it strategic lessons relevant to the current reality of the nation and the nature of the conflict with the forces of global tyranny.

The lecture did not stop at the Quranic narrative, but rather offered a revealing analysis of the mechanisms employed by tyrants throughout history to distort the truth and criminalize the defense of the oppressed, with a clear parallel to the practices of America, the Zionist entity, the West, and their hypocritical allies in the region.

Tyrants Throughout History: Imposing a Paradigm of Violence and Criminalizing Self-Defense

The Leader explained that tyrants always strive to establish an unjust paradigm that renders the oppressed perpetually vulnerable, preventing them even from contemplating redress or self-defense.

Conversely, any action by the oppressed is portrayed as a crime or aggression. This is the same tactic employed by the arrogant ruler who confronted the Prophet Moses (peace be upon him) when he attempted to rescue the oppressed, accusing him of murder, tyranny, and failing to reform.

According to the lecture, this paradigm is being repeated today, even more clearly, in the reality of the Muslim world. Global hegemonic powers are working to distort every act of resistance or defense of rights, while simultaneously justifying the crimes of occupation and aggression.

Palestine as a Case Study: How the Oppressed Were Criminalized and the Aggressor Protected
The Leader presented the Palestinian cause as the clearest example of this paradigm. Zionist gangs arrived in Palestine with British and Western support and committed widespread genocide and massacres against the Palestinian people. Despite the blatant nature of the aggression, Western propaganda has shifted to criminalizing the Palestinian resistance and any Arab or Islamic movement to defend the land and holy sites, while political, military, and media support for the Zionist entity has continued.

The Leader pointed out that this policy has not been confined to the past, but has evolved to become even more pronounced in the current phase, with some Arab regimes now openly declaring their complete alignment with the Zionist project.

The Zionization of Some Arab Regimes and the Role of the Hypocritical Movement

The lecture focused at length on what the Leader described as the hypocritical movement within the nation, which has become increasingly exposed in recent years. Some regimes and political and media elites have transformed into tools openly serving the American-Zionist project.

According to this perspective, these regimes are not content with normalization or political support; rather, they employ their media, economic, and even security capabilities to serve the enemies of the nation and to confront the forces that refuse to submit to the hegemony of America and Israel.

The Leader believes that this alignment represents a dangerous shift in the nature of the conflict, as it seeks to weaken the nation’s position and discredit the forces that are working to defend its just causes. The Aggression Against Iran: An Example of Double Standards

In this context, the Supreme Leader addressed the aggression targeting the Islamic Republic of Iran, considering it a clear example of Western hegemonic policies, where the victim is portrayed as the aggressor, while American and Israeli aggression is justified.

He pointed out that the American military bases spread across some Arab countries are used to carry out military and aggressive operations against the peoples of the region. Yet, any defensive response targeting these bases is met with resistance, as if the targeted peoples are expected to accept the aggression without retaliation.

According to what he presented in the lecture, this equation reflects a state of blatant injustice and clear tyranny, revealing the extent of the bias practiced by some regimes in favor of the American-Zionist project.

The Decision to Kill Moses (peace be upon him): The Tyrants’ Approach to Targeting Leaders

Returning to the context of the Quranic story, the Supreme Leader explained how Pharaoh’s advisors convened and decided to kill the Prophet Moses (peace be upon him) after news of the incident spread, in an attempt to end his movement and extinguish hope among the oppressed. This decision, according to the lecture, reflects a consistent tactic of tyrants throughout history: targeting influential leaders to suppress any liberation or resistance movement.

However, the role of the man who came from the farthest reaches of the city to inform Moses of the plot was highlighted. The Leader considered this act a model of chivalry, honor, awareness, and responsibility.

Security Reports and Community Awareness: An Important Quranic Lesson

The lecture emphasized the importance of what can be described as security awareness within society. The man’s initiative in informing Moses of the danger exemplifies the role individuals can play in protecting society and thwarting the plans of tyrants.

The Leader explained that security reports and warnings about dangers can contribute to saving lives and foiling hostile projects, and that this role reflects a level of awareness, responsibility, and concern for the issues of the nation.

Moses (peace be upon him) between taking precautions and relying on God

The lecture also focused on the moment Moses (peace be upon him) left the city after learning of the plot, combining practical caution with complete reliance on God, in a stance that embodies the model of the believer who acts within the framework of responsibility and trust in God.

In this context, the Leader emphasized that Moses did not regret his righteous stance despite the dangers he faced, but rather continued on his path with steadfastness, affirming that what is with God is better and more lasting than all the gains of tyrants and their displays of power.

Conclusion of the lecture: The battle of awareness against tyranny
The fifteenth lecture, in its entirety, presents a strategic reading of the conflict between truth and falsehood, and clarifies how the methods of tyrants are repeated throughout history, from distorting the image of reformers to
