💢Imam Ali's letter to Malik al-Ashtar
#Part_13
Revenue Administration
✨Great care is to be exercised in revenue administration, to ensure the #prosperity of those who pay the #revenue to the state, for on their prosperity depends the prosperity of others, particularly of the masses. Indeed, the #state exists on its revenue.
✨You should regard the #proper upkeep of the #land in cultivation as of greater importance than the collection of revenue, for revenue cannot be derived except by making the land productive. He who demands revenue without helping the cultivator to improve his land, inflicts unmerited #hardship on the cultivator and ruins the state.
The rule of such a person does not last long. If the cultivators ask for a reduction in their land #tax for having suffered from epidemics, #drought, excessive #rainfall, soil infertility, #floods impairing the fertility of the land or the cause of #crop damage, then reduce the tax accordingly, so that their condition may improve.
✨Do not mind the loss of revenue on that account, for that will return to you one day manifold in the hour of greater prosperity of the land and enable you to improve the condition of your towns and to raise the #prestige of your state. You will be the object of universal praise. The #people will believe in your sense of #justice. The confidence which they will place in you in consequence will prove your strength, as they will be found ready to share your burdens.
✨ You may settle down on the land any number of people, but discontent will overtake them if the land is not improved. The cause of the cultivator’s ruin is the #rulers who are bent feverishly on accumulating #wealth at all costs, out of the fear that their rule might not last long. Such are the people who do not learn from examples or precedents.

🔴 Holy Salvation: The Theft of Palestinian Lands
1⃣ After #AlAqsaStorm, the Gaza Strip has witnessed one of the bloodiest genocides in contemporary history. Borders are closed, and even the smallest humanitarian aid cannot enter Gaza. Following the breaking of the second ceasefire, the situation has worsened significantly. Gaza, with the indifference of the media and countries, has turned into the largest open-air prison in the world, where nearly 2 million prisoners cannot even meet their basic needs.
2⃣ On the other side of the map of #Palestine, other events are quietly taking place, gradually continuing the #GazaGenocide project. The #WestBank of the Jordan River, which had been designated for Palestinians on paper years ago (after the Oslo Accords), is the other side of the map that receives little attention.
3⃣ Israel, from the very beginning, started #settlement-building in the West Bank, contrary to its commitments. Over time, by connecting scattered settlements, it has continued its project of fabricating new territories for Israel. Arabs refer to the settlers as "Musta'been" (settlers). In Persian, this term might be translated as "land-invader." A Musta'been is someone who moves to another land, expels or annihilates its original inhabitants, and then falsifies the land as their own homeland. The term "settler" should not be limited to a specific group of Israelis, but rather, #IsraelFoundation itself is based on this #land-theft or, more precisely, #homeland-theft.
4⃣ The documentary Holy Salvation narrates the story from the perspective of the settlers/land-invaders. This documentary, produced by TRT in 2024, tells the story of Zionists who, while Israel relentlessly attacks Gaza, are systematically involved in #landfabrication in the West Bank. The filmmakers travel to the occupied territories and meet a group called #HilltopYouth. The Hilltop Youth is a group of Zionists, led by #DanielaWeiss, who regularly build new settlements on hilltops in the West Bank whenever necessary.
5⃣ Daniela Weiss says: "If Prime Minister Netanyahu calls me and says, 'Daniela! We need a new outpost on a hilltop right now, are you ready to go?' I’m always ready! Not only am I ready, but it has always been my dream!" What becomes most evident in this documentary is the filmmaker’s direct confrontation with the essence of Israel: unconditional, ongoing occupation. The filmmakers, accompanied by a former Israeli soldier, interview the Hilltop Youth up close, depicting their violence without any restraint. The Hilltop Youth commit every crime to fabricate new lands, and these crimes are carried out with full legal immunity provided by the Israeli government.
💥 Footnote 1: The "punitive attacks" referred to in the documentary refer to the Price Tag Policy, which Zionists implement in response to any action against settlement construction. Their justification is that anyone who opposes settlements must pay a heavy price.
💥 Footnote 2: The documentary references areas A, B, and C in the West Bank. According to agreements with the Palestinian Authority, the responsibility for internal security in area A lies with the Palestinian Authority, coordinated with Israel. In area B, Israeli forces can enter for security operations and monitor movement, with Palestinians being responsible only for civil affairs. In area C, nearly nothing is under Palestinian control. Palestinians in this area, which comprises more than half of the West Bank, even need Israeli permits to build, which are rarely granted.
