What We Need.. Part Two

The second part

Written by: Nabil Amr

The anxiety that spreads and tyrannizes the soul is the one that cannot be erased by words, nor can it be mitigated by statements and declarations. It requires every author of a pen and opinion to provide a convincing answer to a pile of questions raised at the level of the whole society, about the entire Palestinian situation. It is a state, as everyone knows, that is not confined to a place or governed by an authority or organization, because the destinies of this people made it distributed nearly equally between those on the homeland and those in exile, near and far. These "halves" unite in a deep and inseparable identity that is Palestinian
The rule of fateful fulcrum - and this is by the grace of fate - is strongly present on the land of the homeland, and if we read it objectively and strip the reality of this rule and the effectiveness of its impact on every Palestinian wherever he is, we find that it needs many things to be accomplished in order for the Palestinians to continue Their difficult pursuit towards their one popular dream of freedom and independence
Time no longer requires a leader who leads a people with his symbolism, centrality, and what is described as his charisma. That was permissible to positively and negatively in a past time.. in which names circulated in history that did their work in Palestinian life since the emergence of the issue... Hajj Amin Al-Husseini, the owner of the religious turban and social status, Professor Ahmed Al-Shugairi, the jurist, diplomat, and eloquent preacher, then Yasser Arafat, whom dictionaries and libraries are not enough to describe what he enjoyed throughout his life at the head of the Palestinian situation, which was described as a revolution, then Mahmoud Abbas is the head of the situation that is described as power
Who is the person following these? What can we call it or name its condition? It is better for us as Palestinians, and it is even more logical, to exclude this question and replace it with another question that is more realistic and logical.
After the series of names that achieved a strong presence at the time without achieving the desired solution to the most complex issue in history, what do we need or what does the current situation that the Palestinian situation has reached, and it is not hidden from the most optimistic how difficult and even catastrophic it is. ‏
Do we need a person to save the situation by achieving solutions to the pile of major problems that have escalated in Palestinian life and withdrew frightening effects on the issue, its status, and the chances of resolving it to the satisfaction of its people, and is this person, as I know and all Palestinians know, no longer? Existing, but not yet born, and in our time called Hadith, it will not be born, most likely or with certainty.
As much as the story seems very complicated and the reality is very intractable, and it seems that the solution that we hope has not only gone away, but has ended, and in order not to fall into the danger of despair and despair, let’s say until further notice, we need to know what we should do. And we don't have to wait
First, we must accept a logical and fair fact, which is that we no longer need a leader, because what is more correct, more credible, and more realistic is that we need a political system that produces qualified leadership institutions, which in turn produce a president subject to constitutional restrictions that prevent him from monopolizing himself. By decision at any of the levels, and this requires that the political system be produced from the only reactor that gives true legitimacy, which is the people, and therefore one means that humanity has not invented a substitute for, which is elections, provided that it is not as it is now. We have selectivity that determines its conduct or not according to the calculations of the agendas, so it takes place easily and easily in a specific sector and is withheld from another sector.
The real, legitimate and effective system is to be produced by the ballot box, as it is the only popular means that gives legitimacy to the smallest charitable association in the smallest village to the parliamentary and presidential, and in the event of going to different options, there is a referendum that if passed decision or forbidding it, the people are responsible for their blessings or for not
This axiom that I am talking about seems impossible if there are influential people who oppose it and prevent it under various pretexts. But if there is a will, and it was found a lot in the life of this people, then it is the easiest possible and the most ready to be achieved. Didn’t we reach a year ago to a close from the ballot boxes, then we refrained from it a few days ago???
Let the Palestinians and the kitchens of the internal and external agendas stop talking about a Palestinian leadership based on individuals, and let the talk and effort turn towards the formula of a respectable system that provides the Palestinians with a situation befitting their qualifications, the strength of their presence, the fairness of their rights and the abundance of their creativity wherever they travel or settle, and this is even though It was an urgent Palestinian need and interest. It is a need, interest, and a guarantee for the stability of a region and life, as much as the Palestinian cause is an active reactor of events. Ask Israel, America, and the world about what happened in Ramadan and May of this year, which was known as the year of Ukraine, and what happened. around.
