From the inspiration of the homeland.. Do not beat the drums too much.. War does not make anyone happy!!

Written by: Dr. Ahmed Youssef


In the context of the scene of injustice in which the Palestinians are in the homeland and in the diaspora, the voices of threats and intimidation are raised from some Islamic leaders that lead the Hamas and Islamic Jihad movements, and in a language that suggests that the Palestinian resistance possesses the tools of killing and destruction in a way that threatens the existence of the Zionist entity to the point of annihilation!!


There is no doubt that some understand that these statements come - in fact - to raise the morale of our people on the one hand, and to respond to the threats of the Israeli generals of war to destroy the Gaza Strip and flatten it to the ground, and other harbingers of woe and great things, in addition to what the herds of settlers are doing of storming the mosque squares. Al-Aqsa and attacks on the Islamic and heritage sanctities in the Holy City, the deliberate continuation of the killing of Palestinian youth in the villages and towns of the West Bank, and forms of inhuman recklessness as we witnessed with millions of peoples of the world in the assassination of the Palestinian journalist Sherine Abu Aqleh, whose funeral was not spared from the persecution of the occupation soldiers and the lack of Respect for the prestige of the deceased inside the coffin!!


What Israel practices in Jerusalem and the West Bank are scenes that provoke the stone and call for the Palestinian desire for revenge and revenge by all means and in all the occupied territories.


Yes; Wisdom necessitates that we do not exaggerate in words and intimidation, and that we do not raise the ceiling of expectations above the level of capabilities, and that the discourse of the reality of the victim be our language in which we communicate with the world around us, this world that Israel deceived by insulting the role of the victim with high media skill and professionalism, and through a policy of intimidation for everyone who stands Sympathetic to our side with accusations of anti-Semitism!!
Perhaps the Palestinian cannot accept the position of the victim; Because that peaceful scene affects his dignity and national pride, and influences the habit of adopting the image of a hero who does not break dust, as he is closer in the militant and jihadist imagination to the case of Antara, Al-Zahir Baybars, Qutuz, Salah al-Din, Khalid bin Al-Walid, Sultan Muhammad Al-Fateh ... etc. This is something that can be understood in the genetic psychology (DNA) of those who were brought up reading the history of the conquerors of Arabs and Muslims.


The state of steadfastness in which the Palestinians are, gives them the euphoria of feeling victorious, so their breath with resistance remains hot and high, and the breasts of enemies are healed with tenderness, until the promise of the Hereafter is fulfilled for some of them.


There are those who argue that the last four wars of the Palestinian resistance with Israel inside and outside the borders of the Gaza Strip, in which the occupation army, with all its military capabilities and equipment, did not succeed in achieving a victory that would decide the battle in its favour, and this in the military sense is considered steadfastness of our people in the Strip and their valiant Islamic and national resistance. With this euphoria in saying this, and the recognition of this by many, we must also acknowledge that the enemy still has the longest hand of killing and destruction, and this requires us to invoke wisdom in maneuvering, mobilizing the nation to stand by us, and pushing the usurper occupier into a corner of weakness and moral bankruptcy.


The formulas for talking about the military alliance of the Islamic resistance forces in the region, especially in light of the existing alliances and escalation between Western countries and Russia, the unstable tensions between Iran and America, and Israel's provocations in Syria and Lebanon, the matter calls for patience and not exaggerating the tone of alignment and the tone of the military alliance; Because what that means is that we will find - and unfortunately - Arab and perhaps Islamic countries lined up there in the other camp!!


The bottom line and the cornerstone - today - is that the Palestinian scene lacks any strategic vision on which the factions can come together or meet, as the state of fragmentation has scattered its fragments and the breach widened on the patch, and each party becomes happy with what they have or is being chased.
Today, we need a truce that gives us the opportunity to restore the Palestinian home, reunite, and fill the baskets of grain as an asset for the resistance within the framework of the confrontation with the occupation.


The arrangements of the political reality of the region are within the framework of formation, and if contexts of the polar nature of the region are taken, this will put us in a circle of “with or against”, a calculation that will make us lose the stance of “everyone with” to “there is against”, and it is a losing equation with all its political parameters in our space Arab and Islamic.


The map of the major powers is "cramped" today by the professional drummers of war and some of the countries of the region revolving around their subordination, so what is the point of cracking heads with other additional drums when we know that we are outside the calculations of everything that is going on, and that the priority in our Arab region is not to pave the way for a parallel war or It is new, rather it is to build economic axes that will be built hastily to meet the needs of life and the continuation of the flow of oil, gas and food in the arteries of the camp of Western countries.


The war today in our region - in short - does not make anyone happy, and its "killed" will not decide a revolutionary war that we demand for liberation and return. Our people and our nation need reviews, workshops and reform, the chances of which do not yet appear on the horizon.
