The national and societal fabric must be protected.

The war against our people is intensifying and expanding, against their cause, their rights, their existence and their awareness, not to mention the internal devastation. There is a fear that the rift will widen beyond repair, and this is what we see and feel from the extent of the devastation, as there are tools and militias pushing towards the dismantling and fragmentation of Palestinian society, and penetrating the walls of its societal and national protection, by igniting tribal and clan disputes, based on "frights", and transforming any personal dispute between two people and dressing it in the garb of tribalism, regionalism and sectarianism. We also find those working to encroach on people's rights, property and possessions, imposing tributes and protection money on them, spreading a culture of despair and frustration among the people, and pushing them towards unpatriotic choices that serve hostile projects. It seems that suspicious weapons, "shocking" weapons, bullying and thuggery are spreading like wildfire, and through them threats are spread to people, terror and fear are spread among them, and through them shootings and killings are also facilitated. The incubators of these militias and gangs that benefit from the state of chaos are found in the tribes and even have security and political incubators.

The disintegration and collapse of the home front is more dangerous than the occupation and its continued existence. This front is tearing us down from within, causing us to lose our cohesion and unity, and disintegrating nationally and as a society.

Therefore, the battle to protect existence and the social fabric is a fundamental battle, in which everyone must be mobilized, and in which great energies and capabilities must be employed. It is necessary to question, hold accountable, and remove the cover from these groups. Wherever it is possible to apply the law, its implementation should be a priority. In areas where it is impossible to apply the law, assistance is sought from tribal and national symbols and religious and national figures known for their competence and financial integrity. Unfortunately, people motivated by their own interests have infiltrated the institution of loyal reformers, and they have turned the process of reform and suppressing sedition into a “livelihood” business, where they support the oppressor and aggressor at the expense of the oppressed and the aggressed, if they pay them money and “honor” them.

If we lose our internal resilience and our social fabric disintegrates, as the Israeli orientalist and academic Mordechai Kedar suggests, it is necessary to work to end and dismantle the Palestinian Authority and replace it with the authority of the "seven regions" of the tribes. This means dividing the West Bank into seven governorates, each controlled by the major tribes and linked to the Israeli Civil Administration, whose authority has been stripped away in favor of a military government in the West Bank led by the extremist Israeli Finance Minister Smotrich.

Yes, we will face serious and real dangers if these groups are able to impose their influence and dominance over society. Therefore, we must work to besiege such individuals and groups, and dismantle their structures and frameworks. Everyone is required to enlist in this battle, as it is one of the battles for existence and the protection of the national project.

Our people are going through their most critical and dangerous phase, and the dangers facing them are so great that efforts are being made to completely uproot them from their land and existence. The hostile alliance does not hesitate to use all means and methods to implement its projects and schemes in this regard.

There are those who say that there is no Palestinian people, and that this is an invention less than a hundred years old. There are those who display maps of their state, whether on the Israeli Foreign Ministry website in Arabic, or during the 78th and 79th sessions of the United Nations General Assembly, stripping us of all our rights, and turning us into population centers that lack any national political rights and are devoid of their identity and nationality. The borders of the occupying state do not only include historical Palestine, but also parts of Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, Iraq, and all the way to Egypt and Saudi Arabia.

Perhaps the initiative launched by the Jerusalem Governorate to strengthen, protect and fortify the community structure and civil peace constitutes an important initiative in this direction, requiring care, follow-up and diligent work. We realize that the roads are impassable and that the energies, capabilities and capacities that are being pumped, expended and mobilized in this mission are hindered by many obstacles from the occupation, whose primary concern is to keep our society disintegrated, "eaten" and torn apart by family, clan and tribal disputes, and drowning in the swamp of societal diseases, such as drugs and the collapse of values and morals, and giving priority to personal concerns over public concerns. Likewise, those who benefit and are benefited from such disintegration and clan and tribal strife inside the country will put spokes in the wheels, so that such initiatives do not succeed, and so that society remains in a cycle of violence and internal strife, without paying attention to its national and political rights.

There are many who benefit from falsehood, each with his own goals and plans. Therefore, they will not extend their hands to strengthen the cohesion and fabric of society, and prevent its fragmentation, disintegration and division. However, when all good people are mobilized and there are loyal and trustworthy tools, they will inevitably succeed in creating a new reality, in which our people, regardless of their components, feel safe, secure and reassured. In the words of the great thinker and revolutionary leader Mao Zedong, “A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.” We also repeat and say, “It is better to light a candle than to curse the darkness.”

Everyone is required to fulfill their responsibility to protect the social fabric and civil peace through an integrated process that extends from the home and family to schools, universities, religious, civil, and community institutions, as well as political forces, parties, and official authorities in the governorate, ministries, security and police agencies, and others.
