Turning over the soil in "Fatah Land"!

The least that can be said is that in about three weeks from now, the "Fatah" movement will hold its eighth conference, which comes several years late from its predecessor; years of necessity dictated by internal disputes, wars, and political storms that have swept over the movement's strongholds in the homeland and the diaspora.However, the holding of this year's conference, even if the circumstances and conditions that the movement and the homeland are going through are not ideal, constitutes an existential necessity, given that the keffiyeh worn by "Fatah", and which it has made a universal movement representing the last clusters of hope under which the oppressed, the sorrowful, the afflicted by the enormity of loss, and the pained and hungry in the tents seek refuge from "the gloom of the scene and the bad outcome."In times of crises, disasters, and wars, people suppress their anger and rationalize their criticism of national movements, but it will not be long before a flood of questions opens up that needs convincing answers, regarding the existential challenges facing the entire cause, due to the mistakes committed by these movements, and "Fatah", like all national action factions, bears a part of the responsibilities, but it is the largest part by virtue of its weight, past, present, and future, and by virtue of the hopes placed on the owner of the first shot.It is Fatah's right to be fascinated with itself, as the owner of the first bullet, but this fascination does not exempt it from its responsibility to ward off the last bullet from its people, a task that requires national reviews, not for the purpose of accountability and assigning responsibility, but rather to ensure that catastrophic mistakes are not repeated, to correct performance, and to solidify the ranks with a national unity free from any supra-Palestinian agendas.Today, "Fatah" faces historical responsibilities, as the safety valve for the cause, which obliges it to zero out internal differences, build bridges, and embrace the dissenting before the agreeing within it, and in all national action factions, and to help the struggling among those factions to recover from their stumbles, and for the comprehensive movement, above all, to be keen on turning over its soil, weeding its garden, and streamlining its performance, by opening windows for the sun to allow generations to compete, with respect and appreciation for the early pioneers who carried the movement on their shoulders and bled their wounds in its early years, and for the coming days to be like a "body shop" to fill the cracks in the roofs to prevent leakage from their ceilings… There is no option today for "Fatah"; it is either success, or success.
