When the military aircraft of a brutal regime drop bombs on civilian homes and the sacred walls of students’ academic lecture halls, it is not merely a military error; rather, it is part of a Zionist project aimed at paralyzing the intellects of the awakened nations of the Middle East with gunpowder. The Pakistani regime’s recent attacks on Kunar, which left the Jamal al-Din al-Afghani University and the residential villages of Sarkano drenched in blood, are in reality a reflection of that “brutal mirror” which Israel and the United States utilize in the region.
These bombings are a precise replica of the crimes committed some time ago when an educational center for students was targeted in the heart of Iran (Tehran). There, the target was “knowledge,” and here, it is the same. Such provocative actions reveal that the essence of the regime killing Afghan students is intertwined with those occupiers who targeted universities and libraries in Lebanon and Tehran to keep future generations in the darkness of humiliation. The attack on Kunar University is a continuation of an intellectual war that seeks to keep Afghan youth away from books and entangled in conflict.
Targeting an entire village in Sarkano proves that the logic of the aggressor is built upon “indiscriminate killing.” This is the same brutality that Israel is currently perpetrating in Lebanon, where civilian homes have been turned into practice ranges for fighter jets. When a regime employs Zionist tactics against its own neighbors and those of shared languages, it demonstrates that their “strategic depth” is now reduced to nothing more than human slaughter and the destruction of residential areas.
The regime that drops bombs on university dormitories and classrooms has, in fact, admitted defeat to the very philosophy of Jamal al-Din al-Afghani, who raised the voice for the unity and awakening of the Islamic world. These attacks are not merely an encroachment on territory, but an assault on a shared civilization where knowledge and wisdom were the guarantees of its survival.
History has proven that the lamps of knowledge are not extinguished by the smoke of gunpowder. If America targets Tehran, Israel targets Beirut, and the aggressive Pakistani regime targets universities in Kunar, it is a sign of their “intellectual bankruptcy.” Every destroyed wall of Kunar University will become the foundation of an awakening that will sound the drum of the attacking regime’s decline.
The university is the center for the survival of humanity, and an attack on it is, in reality, a challenge to human values. Our pens will continue the historical struggle for justice and light in the face of war and brutal bombings. Kunar represents the global academic centers that have become targets of colonialist attacks.
