Palestinian steadfastness

As the Israeli officer, Captain Eliyahu Yitzhak Naddaf, who immigrated from Palestine and left the colony as a political refugee to one of the Arab countries, said, he deserves encouragement and appreciation for his bold and meaningful act, in protest against the actions of the occupation army in the Gaza Strip, and in rejection of its heinous crimes against civilians.

Quoting the instructions of the political colony leadership to the Israeli army: “Leave nothing in Gaza, neither people nor stones.” This is what they are doing, working to eliminate the Palestinian Arab human presence in the Gaza Strip, either by killing or displacement and expulsion, and by destroying buildings, homes and infrastructure to make the Gaza Strip unfit for living and normal life.

But will the crimes they are committing against the Palestinian people lead to the success of their plan in Palestine?? They expelled half of the Palestinian people in 1948 from their homeland, and committed atrocities of killing, liquidation and displacement, but the Palestinian people rose from their camps in Jordan, Syria and Lebanon, and established the PLO, and held their first constituent national council in Jerusalem in 1964 under the generous patronage of the late Hussein, and the revolution exploded in response to the Nakba, and the PLO gained representation and status, and the Palestinian cause achieved its status with international institutions.

The revolution and the struggle moved from exile to the homeland, the creativity of the stones, and the first intifada in 1987, which forced the Rabin government to recognize the three titles: 1- the people, 2- the organization, 3- the rights, and this led to: 1- the gradual Israeli withdrawal from the Palestinian cities, 2- the return of 400 thousand Palestinians to the homeland, 3- the birth of the authority as a prelude to the state, 4- and most importantly, the transfer of the Palestinian title from exile to the homeland.

The plans of the Netanyahu and Trump governments against the Palestinian people are great, powerful, harsh and difficult, but they will not succeed in passing their desires and conspiracies to end the Palestinian people who cling to their homeland, which has no other homeland, and will stand firm as they have previously remained and stood firm throughout decades of oppression, brutality and Israeli attempts at deportation, or by placing obstacles and frustrating the Palestinian Authority and spreading rumors and slander against it, with the aim of creating a gap between it and its people, and by feeding division, fragmentation and disintegration among the ranks of the factions, especially between Fatah and Hamas.

The plans of the Netanyahu and Trump governments will be thwarted by the Palestinian people and will not pass, and will not find anyone who responds to them by deporting them from Jerusalem and the Palestinian West Bank. The crimes of the colony’s criminals and those who stand with them will pass, and they will be tried before history and the peoples, just as the Nazi leaders and war criminals were tried, and the will of the Palestinian people will triumph, just as the will of the peoples who were liberated from their occupiers triumphed.

Palestine will remain, as it was, a homeland for the Palestinians, and Jordan will remain a homeland for the Jordanians, and for the Jordanians only, just as Syria is for the Syrians, Lebanon is for the Lebanese, and Egypt is for the Egyptians. The peoples of these countries, like the rest of the Arab peoples, will remain levers supporting the steadfastness of the Palestinians and their remaining on their homeland, continuing the struggle until the occupation is defeated and its expansionist colonial project is defeated.

The attempts to deport, displace, expel and displace Palestinians outside their homeland will not find anyone who accepts them, agrees to them or passes them, because the Palestinian people, who have suffered from the taboos and cruelty of the Nakba, will not allow them to be repeated. The people, organized through their factions, parties, personalities and organizations, are the strongest in confronting it, and will bear all the consequences of their steadfastness on the land of their homeland, and will pay the price of remaining, as they have no choice but the choice of remaining, steadfastness and victory, no matter how great the challenges facing them.
