The israeli occupation does not need pretexts to try to pass its plans under American sponsorship and partnership

by Marwan Emil Toubasi (*)

Although national resistance to any occupation always requires inflicting the greatest amount of losses on the occupier with the least possible damage to its people and to it, because it is possible for it to withstand and sustain it for the longest possible period with a creative thought that relies on initiative, choosing goals, providing a public incubator for them, and carefully choosing the time and place in order to achieve a political goal, especially ifIt did not have fulcrums or permanent external supplies, as is the case with the resistance in Palestine, which is being fought by the fourth military force in the world, which differs from what was provided to other resistance movements around the world in previous times from its neighboring countries.

The challenge of the sudden operation, after decades of oppression and the most powerful army in the world, was a milestone, with the repercussions it had on various aspects for us and the region as well as other international parties. It is supposed to achieve the continuation of the victory achieved on that day, even if it is relative, in the face of the ongoing crimes of genocide, so that what we do not accept is not imposed on us, or at least to prevent the occupation from achieving all its goals, specifically forced displacement now.

This sudden breakthrough as a result of the guerrilla military operation is something that the occupying state was not accustomed to in its previous wars in terms of the political and military imbalance it created in the ruling regime in the occupying state, and even in the components of the Israeli Jewish community, which appeared to be increasingly fragmented, which began a year ago. Also, the size of the Israeli reaction, which did not require this clear partnership with the United States, and which is still characterized by the crime of genocide and its repercussions against our people and even the peoples of the region and their security, peace and stability, if October 7 had not caused a disruption in the plans for the region that are being arranged between Tel Aviv and the House. the White.

Therefore, from the beginning, we had to reject the meetings that were trying to replace political solutions with economic or security solutions according to those plans in an attempt to absent the political and legal dimension of the Palestinian issue and the pursuit of some towards a regional economic peace without resolving the Palestinian issue based on the inalienable rights of our people, and these are attempts that are still ongoing. The United States is trying to drag the region into it according to its vision with new inputs.

Now that we have reached what we have reached, and for this another discussion, as well as for the questions that are raised here and there regarding what accompanied the October 7 attack in terms of preparedness calculations and the added value to it compared to the huge loss of lives and entire infrastructure through those unprecedented crimes committed, However, the resistance has remained steadfastTo date, it has achieved many successes and surprises, dispelling claims of the occupation’s superior ability to destroy the right and concept of resistance or its uprooting of any political force that gains popular depth. The experience of trying to end and eliminate the PLO and its factions in Lebanon in 1982 is still before us.

However, throughout its history, Israel has not looked for any pretext to carry out any of its crimes against our people. Even when the Zionist organizations and gangs emerged before the crime of the Nakba and with the beginning of the waves of settlement immigration that the colonial West facilitated for them, including Nazi Germany at the time through the Haavara Agreement, they did not wait for an excuse to commit massacres and ethnic cleansing, and today the occupying state would not wait for a new excuse to do everything it does. It is a form of genocidal aggression against people and quarantine in Gaza, which is unprecedented in contemporary history.

Sharon also did not wait for an excuse when he invaded southern Lebanon and besieged Beirut for 88 days under insane bombardment and committed massacres. What the occupying state has done and is doing, not only since its occupation of the remainder of the Palestinian territories in 1967, but also for more than 75 years, was with the aim of achieving Zionist thought and liquidating the Palestinian cause and the components of our national identity and our existence on our national soil, through various forms of oppression and persecution that it practiced. All governments of Israelsuccessive movements without any difference between their secular or religious orientations, without pretext and without being held accountable by anyone, which encouraged them to continue doing so until today.

That turning point was a natural reaction to a long, accumulated series of siege and aggression against our people in the Gaza Strip for decades, and even in all of Palestine, and the low priorities of international attention around the joints of our cause. The entire past period has been characterized by attempts to oppress our people also in the areas of the occupied West Bank, including Jerusalem, and even in Palestinian cities and villages inside Israel through the Jewish Nationality Law, daily killing and assassination from zero distance without even the slightest form of resistance, settlement expansion and incursions into cities and villages. The camps, their siege, and the implementation of apartheid policies.

What is happening today in all of Palestine targets the existence and steadfastness of our Palestinian people, with all its components, on its national soil and with the right to resistance, which seeks to determine its fate, establish its sovereign state, and resolve the refugee issue, leading to freedom and justice, which alone achieve peace, security, and stability for all.

Israel today, in partnership with the entire American administration that wants to continue the war of genocide, rejected yesterday the draft ceasefire resolution in the Security Council, which itself also committed crimes of ethnic cleansing and renewed Biblical interpretations that are consistent with the biblical vision. This identification between them is what now explains their joint implementation of the third phase of the Zionist project since the crime of the Nakba, which aims to establish a greater Israel extending from the sea to the river, including perhaps broader areas than that, which depends on the extent of the implementation of the strategic vision of the United States in the Middle East, which is now ruled by the Jews. The Zionists and Zionist Christians are there, with the support of the regimes of Islamic countries governed by Zionist thought in its broad political sense and which have no interest in establishing an independent Palestinian state. Those regimes that contributed to the cancellation of the United Nations General Assembly resolution in 1991 equating Zionism with racism and restored their relations with the occupying state years before that, and a number of them even initiated normalization agreements at the expense of the cause of our people, and they and others stand today unable to do anything to stop the ongoing plan.

What is happening at this stage today expresses a new form and content for the projects to liquidate the national cause of our Palestinian people, which were proposed and circulated over the past decades and with American planning, which depend on the forced deportation and displacement of our people, specifically in the Gaza Strip through the ongoing genocide and in the West Bank through the daily attacks of the occupation forces. And the herds of settlers who now constitute about 23% of the population in the West Bank and about 60% of the population of the borders of the city of Jerusalem, after the continued implementation of the ongoing settlement expansion plans to this day with American facilitation, which constitute the essence of colonialist Zionist thought.

Therefore, the goals declared by Israel may pale in comparison to the main goal of systematic and extended destruction and oppression using fascist methods, from preventing electricity, fuel, food, water, and medicine, all the way to displacement, which they are trying to impose “as a voluntary form” so as not to conflict with the alleged American desires to reject its coercive form. But heOf course, it is essentially coercive according to the ongoing plan that has been under discussion since the seventies of the last century.

Today, it is the United States that has taken to selling the world an illusion about the two-state solution that it is now repeating, and which it has not sought to implement since that became an international demand. Rather, it has worked to obstruct it and manage the conflict without resolving it, with the aim of blocking the way for any other international effort to try to implement it. In addition to preventing any serious attempts today to stop the aggression. The ceasefire, which enjoys the support of the members of the Security Council, excluding the old and modern colonial powers, Britain and the United States.

So far, the occupying state has failed to achieve its “declared” goals, other than inflicting death on our people. Now it is under local internal pressure for the necessity of recovering prisoners held by the resistance and extending its control, as it has announced goals, and internationally, expressed in million-man demonstrations and calls for a boycott in the capitals of the world, including in the United States, whose Democratic Party is now exposed to divisions and hostile positions. To the aggression of the Jewish organizations there, in order to stop the genocide, as well as to determine the form of relations with Israel and the issue of the sale of weapons to it by those countries, they are preparing with their occupying forces for a new phase of aggression, where they will work to increase their firepower and brutality in order to implement what I mentioned regarding the issue of displacement to Sinai. , and leaves the siblings in EgyptDespite their rejection of this in the face of a complex reality that may be difficult to deal with, as is the case with the brothers in Jordan who also rejected this.

It seems that Israel today, as a result of the partnership and the American intervention that has prevented the expansion of this war in the region so far through policies of threats and enticement of regional powers, has left the scope of American protection and entered, as is colloquially said, the American house of obedience, which it seeks from the angles of its vision and the Zionist influences in and upon it, especially fromAIPAC needs to save Israel from itself, so that it can determine the course of its arrangements in the Middle East in the face of the forces of China and Russia, which now have extensive relations with Arab countries and have their own interests on the one hand, and for the sake of the economic and security interests of the United States on the other hand, and to continue imposing the subjugation of a number of Countries are under the illusion that they have the solutionsall . This is after it began to lose a number of its allies by adopting its theories that impose peace in the world through force and wars.

Because of Russia’s preoccupation today with the conflict imposed on it by the West in Ukraine, as well as the ongoing mobilization in the Caucasus by the United States to spark new conflict hotspots, China may be willing to play a role in our region with Russian support, as it has no interest in the expansion of conflict and war, especially since Most of China’s commercial traffic passes throughThrough Bab al-Mandab to Europe unless it wants to involve the Americans further in the mud of the region and its resistance. China, like Russia, has relatively good relations with all parties to the conflict, and it did not take the step of condemning the resistance in Gaza, and considered the Israeli aggression as war crimes, far from the claim of self-defense. They also call for stopping the aggression and implementing international resolutions and international law.

Therefore, Israel will now push and throw with all its might to gain time that will be considered unfavorable to it and may be a determinant of its operations, in order for the resistance to abandon one of its goals of whitewashing the occupation prisons or to announce its surrender according to Israel’s suspicions, before there is a possibility of expanding the war in the region and beyond. In order to reduce its lossesThe noticeable increase in human, financial and economic developments and their repercussions on Israeli society and what they are now suffering from on the part of most of the peoples of the world in terms of non-acceptance of them and even calls to boycott them.

On the other hand, in order to evade the possibility of any pressure regarding the idea of ​​a comprehensive political solution, which is something that also serves the policies of the United States after the change in some European positions in moving away, even if slightly, from the American vision in the face of this battle and the open aggression in the West Bank as well, including Jerusalem.

Also, in order to reduce the repercussions of the next day, not in Gaza, but in Israel and the United States, in the face of accountability in light of the differences over their responsibility, Netanyahu’s courts, the decline in his popularity and his electoral balance, and in the face of the entitlement to the presidential elections in the United States and what Biden is suffering from, as he and his party seek to win.

Therefore, Palestine today, specifically what is happening in Gaza, will unleash changes in many capitals of the world, which today more than ever has become convinced of what resembles a consensus on the necessity of a political path and the need for clear mechanisms with a time limit to implement the rights of our people in support of the political and geographical unity of the Palestinian territories, which remains It’s our turnIn order to unite the voice, work and ranks of all components of our people so that we can pass this difficult stage of targeting our national political cause and be able to confront the renewed American mirage.
