The collapse of the myth of Israeli deterrence

The word "deterrence" used by the official Zionist discourse long ago was accompanied by the word "strength", then soon it was accompanied by the word "erosion", and gradually it became accompanied by the word "restoration" of deterrence!

The Zionist strategy relied mainly on the policy of pre-emptive strikes and a quick response to anyone who "preyed" the entity. This was accompanied by an "aura" of intimidation, intimidation and terrorism, so that everyone who wants to achieve the entity's goal should think of counting to a million, and this policy was reinforced by the "dazzling" victory of the entity in the 1967 war, which was a major "setback" by all standards for the Arabs, as much as it was fuel. "Nuclear" to amplify the feeling of power in the entity's imagination, then came the Tenth of Ramadan War, to reduce this arrogant "puff", and was preceded by the Battle of Dignity, to add another dimension in "reducing" the pathological feeling of Zionist superiority, then came the war to expel the resistance from Lebanon to end the stage Important in the history of the Arab-Zionist conflict, as the era of wars between the official Arab regime and the entity effectively ended, and the war began between the entity and state organizations, such as Hezbollah and the Hamas and Islamic Jihad movements, and what remained of the resistance organizations.This was accompanied by that popular resistance that took the form of uprisings and uprisings, to That the confrontation reached a new form imposed by the historical moment, which they call the phenomenon of lone wolves.The truth is that the wars or battles that took place between the entity and the official Arab regime provided the entity with a satisfactory accumulation of a sense of superiority and power, and thus, the adoption of a policy of "deterrence". However, the "small" victories achieved by the resistance in the confrontations between the entity, the state organizations, and the popular resistance began to discuss the deterrence force little by little, and did what nails do when digging into rock. It is true that what it achieves is little, but perseverance and persistence have caused a chronic headache in the Zionist body, and the story of "personal security", which constitutes the cornerstone of the success of the "state" and its strong security arms, began to eat into the Zionist imagination, until it became a permanent item on the agenda of the candidates for the Zionist Parliament elections. And the story of deterrence rolled along with the increase in unilateral attacks carried out by an unorganized Palestinian resistance, until the story of deterrence and the provision of personal security became emptied of its content.

The presence of about seven million Palestinians between the sea and the river is the greatest existential challenge to the entity, and if only 1% of them were ready to undermine the Zionist presence, this entity would have to remain in a state of feeling threatened, let alone when this percentage increases exponentially, and other forces accompany it. Armed with different weapons, whether in Gaza or the occupied West Bank?

The occupation hoped to eliminate the people of Palestine, albeit in a figurative sense, leaving none of the moral and physical methods of genocide that it did not commit, in the hope that it would extinguish the flame of national feeling, and erase all the common elements stored in the Palestinian collective mind, whether it was in the “inside” of Palestine or In the diaspora, an integrated system of Arab and foreign collusion and aid helped him in that, each according to his ability!

The name of Palestine has not been erased from the dictionaries of living languages. The symbolic step of raising the flag of Palestine at the United Nations may not mean anything on the ground, but it is a testament to the failure of Israel and those who have provided it with the means of force. Practically there is no “state” called Palestine, in the true sense of the state, but The Palestinian carries his "state" in his chest wherever he goes, whether he is under direct occupation or in the diaspora. Thus, the "state" was transformed from a political entity that could be eliminated, into an emotional entity, in the Palestinian imagination, that it is impossible for enemies to reach.

Nowadays, there is no one on earth who can compete with the "children of Israel" in the historical, religious and national sense, except for the Palestinians. There is a complete "embracing" of the "national home for the Jews" by everyone in this world, and only the Palestinians are disturbing the Zionists, for example in Al-Aqsa. The picture today is very clear: defenseless Palestinians resist all methods of Judaization and temporal and spatial division of their bodies, men and women, old and young, children and adults, and they are not waiting for help from anyone, not because they renounce aid, but because “no one” is the one who cares for them. Their tongues with Bilal's immortal saying: one is one, and they are being tortured in Ramadan by Arabs and non-Arabs, as if God Almighty had "honoured" the Palestinian with this "sacred duty" and singled him out for the resistance of this corrupt "gang", from the flocks and herds of Smotrich and Ben Gvir.

One of the paradoxes noted by Hebrew writers is that the Jew and the Palestinian exchanged roles regarding the dualism of David and Goliath. David, the weak Jew with the right, became a Palestinian, and Goliath the arrogant, unjust Palestinian became a Jew. In the end, the victory was in the “Old Testament” of David under occupation, whose Zionism ensured With all forms of oppression, marginalization, persecution, and injustice to their opponents, and outside the occupation, the "others" took care of trying to keep the Palestinian in a state of panting, fear, and instability, (rather... persecution and accusation) defending his small family from menstruation, to educate children, and to spare them the evils of "malnutrition" and national anemia, Hoping that this would distract him from the passion of the heart and the kiss of conscience, but to no avail.. Did we not say that he carries his homeland in his chest?

Political science professor Hassan Al-Barari wrote, in a tweet on Twitter: There are limits to the power of the occupying state, which did not win any war after the 1967 setback. their former kingdoms. A long time ago, the myth of the "invincible army" fell into oblivion. Now it is losing its deterrence, a country that no one fears, and it is the least respected ever. The way it deals with security challenges indicates that it is exhausted and tired, and there may be many weaknesses that will be revealed in the coming days. And finally we read with their Hebrew poet Yaakov Gilad: "You never want to be there. So, what do you do? Nobody asked you what brought you here. But, when you grow up and you have a son, and that boy asks you: What do I do when I become a young man?" You will tell him: Leave this country, and do not ask anyone.” About "The New Arab"
