"Mothers of Martyrs" Makers of Patience and Revolution

Written by: Dr. Hani Al-Akkad

The Palestinian mother is great and her greatness is that she educates her children on the love of the homeland and devotion for its honor and dignity and martyrdom for its freedom. Yes, Jerusalem and Al-Aqsa. Like other mothers, she worries if one of them is absent for a long time. The occupation does not leave a Palestinian without arrest or execution, and often arrests him and releases him, and after a while he executes him. The Palestinian mother took up the gun a few days after her labor to protect her children and defend her home. Today, the Palestinian mother is a fighter guerrilla Patience and revolution are made as the real supplies to continue the struggle for liberation and independence.

Difficult for the Palestinian mother and almost unacceptable if her son was martyred. Weeping, wailing and wailing. It is difficult for all the mothers of Palestinian martyrs to mourn or to show that they are broken and sad for the loss of their sons and their departure as martyrs. Confirmation of staying on the covenant of the martyrs that no one throws a gun so that the confrontation with this brutal occupier continues. Their pride in their children as martyrs is something that baffled psychologists, strategic experts, and scholars of research into the nature of man and methods of psychological warfare. They did not imagine how a mother would lose her young son, mourn him as a martyr, and send him to his funeral on her shoulders like men. With a mastermind, something that may be a revolutionary myth, but it is a reality that happens every day in the West Bank and with the rise of every martyr.

It is not a phenomenon that may be repeated in the fields of struggle against the occupier anywhere in the world except in Palestine. The Palestinian mother is the mother of the martyr, the prisoner, and the wounded in many cases. Her home is demolished and her children and husband are arrested. She defies the occupation by building a new home and does not break down to continue patiently steadfast in her home, waiting for the freedom of her husband and children. Mothers often complete National roles are not in patience, but in strengthening all paths and forms of revolution and the daily struggle to defeat the occupation. The Palestinian mother weeps for her son while she smiles, her heads above all people, her head in the sky because her son is a martyr overcoming the occupier, and she, with her smile and pride, also defeats the occupier, who believes that the mother of the martyr will be broken at the separation of her son and grieve She may die out of grief for him. The Palestinian mother often receives her son’s gun after his martyrdom and hands it over to his companions in order to continue their struggle mission. She often shoots, vowing to his companions to continue the struggle and fight the occupier as long as he remains on the soil of Palestine. The mothers of the martyrs in this third intifada, as every intifada is a title of patience and revolution, protectors of the intifada to continue and intensify the confrontation with the occupier. Every day they celebrate the wedding of their martyr sons and receive them with their rifles decorated with their blood. .

Not only mothers, but sisters, wives and children, even the youngest of them. How many wives promised their martyr husband to continue on the path of raising their children as men who do not fear death and who do not know fear? How many sisters recommended to all the women who came to bid farewell to the martyr not to cry, but to say goodbye to him with revolutionary songs and ululations.

The newspapers often wrote and the reports of international and Arab satellite channels talked about the mothers of the martyrs and they conveyed the ceremonies of their reception and farewell to their martyr sons in scenes that only happen in Palestine and cannot happen in any place other than Palestine. The world knew that the Palestinian mother suffers, grieves, and cries like a mother, but her grief and crying remain imprisoned, and no one sees her except her smile, and no one hears except the words of satisfaction for her martyred son, and his last words about the love of the country and his commandments to men like him. Yes, she cries and suffers, but in her loneliness, her patience is signs and lessons for all women. The world, all those who came to congratulate her on the martyrdom of her son, chanted in a revolutionary voice, "I wish my mother would replace you, O mother of the martyr, your happiness." They make patience and revolution, and the revolution grows with their patience and patience.

Their pride in their martyr sons and their preservation of the era of the revolution and the pursuit of liberation prompted them to form a gathering of the mothers of the martyrs, the mothers of all the martyrs of the confrontations and commando operations and the martyrs of confronting the occupying forces storming the cities and villages in an image that is the pride of every Palestinian on the face of the earth. They all go to the martyr’s wedding house and they all sit with the martyr’s mother The whole council is made up of the mothers of the martyrs, so she hopes that one of her children would not be martyred. The gathering of the mothers of the Palestinian martyrs in the West Bank is the strongest revolutionary gathering that the revolution has known until today. It is not as a political party or a women’s faction, but it is an insistence on resistance and the overthrow of the occupation. Every day it grows as the crimes escalate. The occupation, and it is well known that the crimes of the occupation will not stop except with the ferocity of the resistance and the continuation of the revolution. This assembly greatly confuses the calculations of the occupier to prove to him time after time that every army force and every weapon of his military establishment will not break the steadfastness and pride of the mothers of the martyrs who make patience and strengthen the revolution only by believing that their children are nothing but the For the freedom, dignity and pride of this country, the overthrow of the occupation and the establishment of an independent state with Jerusalem as its capital.
