Insulting the occupation army, not defeating it

Written by: Amer Abu Shabab

Events are escalating in the Palestinian West Bank, and the pace of the Israeli aggression, which has never stopped against the Palestinian people and their rights, is rising, in a battle that will not be the last, with the occupation insisting that the Palestinian West Bank is "Judea and Samaria" as a military, security and economic doctrine whose land is more important than Tel Aviv.

The events of the Palestinian cities revolting as a result of the occupation attacks, the absence of any horizon for peace, and the acceleration of the settlement and Judaization project in Jerusalem, Hebron, and Nablus, came after the Palestinian leadership announced in the largest international forums the suicide of the Palestinian hope for a two-state solution after a quarter of a century of lying.

So.. we are facing a wider round of aggression from which the occupation government wants to break the Palestinian will, and tame the national anger to accept the formula of work in exchange for security, or bread in exchange for right, and in the short term, the Israeli political components want to compete in the election market at the expense of Palestinian blood in front of a society driven by politics systematically towards more extremism, extremism and fear.

The current confrontations have brought the occupation army out of a state of rest and relaxation to the deployment of more than half of the forces in the streets and alleys of the West Bank, to pursue children and young men of stones and popular military cells in exhaustion of the occupation army and the security services, which is a very exhausting process, especially in light of the presence of an army leadership with political ambition in the next round of elections .

In the short and long term, the continued exhaustion of the occupation army with peaceful popular resistance will have a greater impact on the occupation forces, and constitute real pressure on them in confronting the masses of stones, popular marches, and active activities in areas facing settlement operations.

In addition, this type of resistance achieves a real media presence pressuring the occupying state and scenes of humiliation of an army trained in war confrontations, not confronting young men and women, arresting children and running after them, and most importantly, the bill from the blood of our youth will be less in a struggle that requires a long breath within a serious political vision.

The occupation army finds itself in a better position when the confrontation is with a military situation, which it works to amplify to be parallel to its strength, and to show the Israeli community and the world that it is in the midst of a military battle with armed men, and not with an occupied people who are facing an open war to erase their identity, confiscate their land, rob them of their freedom, and steal their rights. .

We have learned from previous experiences that the occupation army always needs a military target in order to extract its war arsenal, and lead a bloody and costly confrontation for our people, as happened in all the rounds since the Al-Aqsa Intifada 22 years ago, and in memory the battle of Jenin when the residents of the camp, including resistance fighters, clashed with the members of the security services in Legendary steadfastness, but it came at a great cost to our people.

It is true that our people have the legal right to armed struggle against the occupation and the other military arm represented by the settler army, but the balance of experience and the nature of the occupation require that we have another tactic to insult the occupation army, not defeat it and be inspired by the experience of the first intifada in 1987, away from all manifestations of militarization that first require unity Patriotism and real alignment around a national project that defines its tools and plan accurately, but now it is not required to lure towards what the occupation wants.

Finally, the national forces must control the anger of the street and melt it within the framework of popular resistance away from manifestations of weapons and militarization in order to prolong the battle and withdraw the Israeli pretexts for besieging cities, using economic pressure and mobilizing the bloodshed of the occupation army.

The national forces must restore consideration to the unified national leadership of the popular resistance, which announced a program of struggle based on the understandings of the Beirut conference, and fusion in a national, popular, peaceful, militant action and benefit from the president's speech at the United Nations and the moment of political frustration with the national authority instead of using these developments for internal quarrels .

We must get out of short-term battles and imaginary partisan gains, towards a liberating, participatory national path that will increase our people’s points in the course of their struggle with new real gains, and raise the level of global solidarity and Arab interest, which was not broken by the transient normalization agreements.

Because what is required is escaping from the bloody Israeli ambush, which will not end with the results of the elections, but rather the endeavor of the occupying state to implement the deal of the century through the operations of the Defensive Wall in the drawers of the occupation army, which sees the Russian model in annexing the land as an opportunity to resolve the demographic and geographical conflict in the Palestinian West Bank before any peace conference that may be imposed by balances International later.
