The battle of confrontation and the conditions of victory

It is not permissible for you, as a civilian and not an athlete, to go up to the ring to challenge a boxer or wrestler, because he will hurt you and defeat you, but you can defeat him with reason, awareness and belief in what you have right, outside the ring, where you can outdo him.

In a people's war, the loss should not be greater for the oppressed people than for the unjust colonizer. Rather, the people's battle must be based on exhausting the enemy and making its occupation costly. Otherwise, the people's battle will be a loss in favor of the superior enemy.

The Israeli colony has superior capabilities and potential, military, human, technological, and intelligence, while the Palestinian people have limited capabilities, but they have faith in the justice of their cause, and a high willingness to sacrifice, and the doors are closed to them, due to the extremism of the enemy, and the capabilities and support available to them.

The first weapon that the Palestinian people possess, and that annoys their colonizers, is the demographic factor, as they have more than seven million Palestinian Arabs on the entire geography of their land, and they have multiple factions and parties, from Fatah, Hamas, the Popular Front, the Democratic Front, the People’s Party, the Jihad Party, the Palestine Liberation Front, the Arab Front, the Popular Struggle Front, and others, in the areas of 1967, and they have conscious and capable parties, the vanguard of which is the Democratic Front, the Communists, the Islamic Movement, the National Democratic Assembly, the Arab Movement for Change, the Arab Democratic Party, and others in the areas of 1948.

He also has the justice of his demands embodied in the United Nations resolutions, foremost among which are Partition Resolution 181, the two-state solution resolution, and the refugees’ right of return resolution 194, both of which are the basis of Palestinian rights internationally, and dozens of similar complementary resolutions, and what they represent from international institutions: the Criminal Court, the Court of Justice, UNESCO, the General Assembly, etc.

Therefore, the leaders of the resistance factions must be aware and focused on what must be done, and stay away from adventure and extremist behavior, as it is harmful and hurtful to them and their people. Here is the October 7 battle, a clear indication of the conclusion and result, despite its importance and what it produced, but its results are heavy losses in martyrs and destruction.

Therefore, similar adventures must be avoided, whether in Jerusalem, the West Bank, or the 1948 territories. We remember with them the results of the first civil uprising in 1987, and the amazing results it gave, and the most important achievement the Palestinian people made in their history, after the first achievement: the birth of the PLO and the launch of the Palestinian revolution before 1967. This does not mean that armed struggle is illegitimate and illegal, but it is not the only form through which results can be achieved through victory and the restoration of rights.

Preserving the survival of the Palestinian people within their homeland is the first task of the leadership and factions, and avoiding the loss of survival and steadfastness on the homeland, in the face of colonial settlement, and in the face of plans for displacement, expulsion and homelessness, whether forced or voluntary, in addition to the fact that the Palestinian people are the fertile incubator for the leadership, cadres and fighters, and therefore it is necessary to preserve it, and not to dissipate its presence and steadfastness.

The second task is to preserve the capabilities of the factions and the potential of the parties, popular institutions, unions and creative institutions, so that they can continue their work in the face of the plans of the racist colony.

The third necessary task is to avoid armed operations carried out only by limited groups and small numbers, no matter how great their choices for sacrifice are, and no matter how painful their blows are, but they are limited in comparison to the greatness of the people and their enormous abilities for work, dedication and sacrifice.

Finally, without national unity, a coalition, between Fatah and Hamas, and the rest of the factions in the 1967 areas, and without a political electoral coalition in the 1948 areas, between the Democratic Front for Peace and Equality, and the Unity Bloc of the Islamic Movement, the Palestinian national movement will not be able to achieve its aspirations and gradual, cumulative goals in: equality, independence, and return.
