Political wandering and arms chaos
Written by: Jamal Zaqout It is not enough for your stance to be realistic and rational in order for it to be viable. The failure of the settlement in which the leadership of the Palestine Liberation Organization invested all the assets of our people does not mean that it was not correct in principle, but rather the abandonment of the elements of power that it had in its hand at the time, and gasping behind begging for the mirage of that settlement, and even insisting on continuing the adventure of searching for a “lost peace.” To the point of risking fragmenting and dissipating any possibility of restoring the building and strengthening of the elements of Palestinian power, this is the abyss that ravages not only the balance of the revolution and the achievements of our people and exposes its sacrifices to squandering, and may even jeopardize the national cause itself. Peace is not just an "ideal moral value", and whoever cannot possess the ability to withstand pressures and fluctuations will not be able to make and impose a balanced, just and viable peace.
Leaving the political labyrinth... a national need
It is true that the political system in Israel was never ready for the minimum requirements of this peace, because it realizes, by its nature escaping from history, that making peace that enshrines the Palestinian truth may carry the seeds of the annihilation of the Zionist thought that carries within it the idea of annihilating the indigenous people and dispelling their existence, but The transformed Israel, under the pressure of conscious resistance and the continuous uprisings, was aware that its existential question lies in the idea of recognizing the reality of Palestine’s present, in order to guarantee its future, and this in itself is the beginning of the transformed Zionism to the point of approaching the defeat of its historical project, which paves the way for a solution that guarantees within the framework of the balance of power the power of the novel and the will of its owners. thus; Thus, only one day may come out of their midst who says, "There is another narration of a people. We have not and will not be able to obliterate its existence or confiscate its narration." Then and at that moment, the door will be opened for that historic settlement in this country, whether with two coexisting states based on the interests of geography, or within the framework of one state free and pure of the ideology of racist thought that denies the other. And our historical mission until entering that moment is to build our society and our strong institutions that are capable of building and strengthening the position of the competing Palestinian who is ready for both options, and the requirements between them for the ability to withstand and resist, whatever the costs, to the plans of obliteration and displacement, and perhaps this is the essence of the vision of former Prime Minister Salam Fayyad. , which was known as the “two-year plan to end the occupation and establish the state.” Building institutions was not an illusion, as some short-sighted people called it, but rather the essence and content of the requirements of the steadfastness process that everyone calls as a slogan without practical and tangible content, while they get confused when they are armed with practical mechanisms whose essence is strengthening confidence People themselves, their future, and the ability to achieve them. Perhaps this is the essential function of leadership, any leadership, and at any stage, whether it is to achieve national liberation or democratic building of inclusive institutions, or both together, as is our Palestinian case. Here, I invite those who did not have the ability or knowledge to understand the content of that plan to reconsider it. It is, in fact, an attempt to complete the stage of the Great Intifada, and to respond to the moment of wandering that could reunite the country under an inclusive tent within the framework of the Liberation Organization, and redefine its political project for national liberation and democratic construction, and whoever has other than this answer should present it to a logical and serious dialogue.
Israel's crisis and the division trap
Israel, which is living its historical crisis regarding its identity and the future of the Palestinian, on the brink of recognition due to its stubbornness clinging to the land of its homeland, possesses the military strength and the looseness of the Arab reality that motivates it to refuse to fully accept the reality of this Palestinian, but at the same time, the fall of the dominant parties on the Palestinian scene In the Israeli trap to the point of risking dissipating the elements of Palestinian power in the inter-conflict, under the illusion of trying to negate each other, is what helps Israel’s continued entrenchment and its impulse towards more adherence to its right-wing, Zionist, racist character, and its rejection of the idea of transformation generated by the steadfastness of the Palestinian and the will of the resistance to its liquidation project for purification ethnic.
This elongation is to describe the state of the components of the internal conflict in the Palestinian case, and to cultivate the illusion, whether in begging for the possibility of making peace by appeasing the enemy, devoid of the elements of strength, the essence of which is the unity of the people and their will to survive, and what it requires to provide the elements of steadfastness, or the illusion of the capabilities of the “missile” resistance. Or martyrdom" capable of removing Israel from existence! Both of them make Israel and its society once again a prey to its ideological Zionist racist character, which absolutely does not want to see the Palestinians and recognize their truth, or to accept their right to stay and self-determination on the land of their homeland. This is the essence of the strategy of the mighty Zionist ideology, that the Palestinian should remain weak and weak, or a "terrorist extremist" who does not deserve and/or cannot be spoken to and recognized and his right to self-determination.
This shows us that getting out of the state of division and disorientation is not just the outcome of the mechanical combination of two forces and the reactivation of their potential. Rather, the return to the principle of unity in the face of the occupation takes us back to the path of hope and the accumulation of growing strength to deepen Israel's dilemma in the question of the future of the Palestinian who is not subject to control, the rejecter, or rather And fiercely resisting the illusion of exclusion from the equation of geography and human heritage in this country.
It seems that Israel, immersed in the "illusion of its victory over demography" through its "strategic success" in diverting Gaza from a single entity towards growing separation, and exploiting the tragedy of the displacement of refugees from Lebanon and Syria, to distant exiles, found what tempted it to be able to break through its essential episode of tearing apart the geography of the West Bank, and transferring the conflict To advanced stages towards “sideways” cantons, it began with a strategy of isolating and annexing Jerusalem in its favour, while it monitors the transformations of the south of the West Bank from its north, at a time when it is tightening its teeth in the West Bank and its countryside.
Weapon chaos and targeting Nasser Al-Shaer
The national impasse, and the drift of the internal conflict to what it has reached, encourages all hostile and/or delusional parties, foremost of which is the Israeli occupation, to ignite the fire of sedition, and perhaps slip into the brink of a civil war that eats everything and everything, whether in the continuous divisive struggle to appease the enemy, and obtain from him a merit. His security agency, or the war of struggle over the “succession,” and what it requires of evoking the tribe in the struggle of the two tribes that dominate the scene. The shooting of the Hamas leader and former deputy prime minister, Nasser al-Din al-Shaer, regardless of whether it was an attempt to assassinate him, or just a message from the party behind this crime, is only evidence of these intentions, which certainly does not rule out the involvement of Israel, which has the supreme and primary interest in this. More auto-fragmentation, this time bloody. However, in any case, the Palestinian Authority, by virtue of its political and security responsibility, and regardless of the extent of the erosion of its prestige and legitimacy, will remain responsible for the necessity of exposing the perpetrators of this national crime, and those behind them, which exceeds the danger of merely injuring one of the national symbols known for its eagerness to restore national unity. Rather, it targets this unit itself for killing, and enters the divisive struggle of its infernal circle with the aim of liquidating what remains of our people of hope and strength that enables it to continue to reject the racist liquidation project, and to submit to its transitional project by submitting to its plans to invent a leadership according to the occupation’s measurements and standards, which helps it in further dismantling The national entity and its political expressions are merely the ties of cities or cantons, until despair does its act of self-displacement, especially in light of the deepening and widening symptoms of chaos, which this time tries to overthrow intellectual pluralism, cultural and religious diversity, and the cohesion of the national fabric that has always served as a solid pillar for the elements of Palestinian strength in their battle. extended since the inception of Zionism on the usurped land of Palestine.
The current battle is a battle of futile defeat of the moment, an urgent and safe exit from the state of political disorientation and chaos of arms, and the restoration of justice and a sense of security, and there is no way for that except to stop wasting time and elements of strength, and return to the moment of awareness that the people of the uprisings store in the compass of history, and the requirements of their unity against The fundamental and main contradiction with the occupation. The battle of regaining consciousness and leaving the moment of wandering is the key to freedom and a sure salvation from the occupation.
