In the hands of fragrant memory

With feelings overflowing with reverence, and filled with faith and patience in the face of hardships and tribulations, Arabs and Muslims celebrate today the anniversary of the Isra and Mi'raj, while the defenders in the courtyards of Al-Aqsa offer the most precious of hearts and the sap of souls in defense of its sanctity, which the extremists of biblical fundamentalism have been targeting to Judaize it and impose temporal and spatial division in this mosque that is specific to Muslims, and in which they have no partner.

The fragrant occasion comes while blood is still flowing, wounds are still open, and hearts are trembling, due to the gloom of the scene and the bad turn of events in the Gaza Strip, amidst the Arabs and Muslims’ abandonment of supporting the defenders and establishing them in the vicinity of the place of the Isra and Mi’raj.

At this critical moment, the parties have no choice but to reach a common path that resolves the differences that have arisen between them and opens the door to a matrix of formulations and compromises that rely on the virtue of reviews and recalculations, and adherence to unity under the tent of the organization, the sole legitimate representative of the Palestinian people, far from the language of treason, and keenness not to provide pretexts to undermine the authority in the West Bank, which is the last bulwark against advocates of resolving the conflict, by spreading creative chaos to accelerate the implementation of plans for exile and displacement, taking advantage of Trump’s fluctuations and impulses, like a car without brakes on slippery ground.

Digging under the authority, hastening its collapse and dismantling its apparatuses in the West Bank, motivated by personal rivalry and factional enmity, constitutes a free service to biblical fundamentalism, which is rubbing its hands together, licking its lips and waiting to seize the opportune moment. Asking the authority’s apparatuses to confront brute force is contrary to wisdom, and presents a recipe for murder and genocide, and continuing the demonization in order to lift international cover from the authority in order to overthrow it and undermine the dreams of a state, while we recall how all the security headquarters in the West Bank and Gaza were destroyed, and hundreds of its members were killed in 2002.

How can it be right to accept a ceasefire in Gaza, while calling for igniting it in the West Bank, without national agreements, during which the Authority is being disrupted, to bring about reactions from a savage enemy that has reached the peak of madness, devoid of morals and laws, to inflict on the West Bank what it inflicted on Gaza, drawing encouragement from American natural breastfeeding, the features of which were revealed through Trump’s statements yesterday about displacement under the pretext of reconstruction?!

This is not a call to stop resistance, but rather a call to all factions of national action to search for other forms that enable the owners of the land to stand firm and lighten their burdens, forms that remove the pretexts and do not deprive the benefits.
