On the 75th anniversary of the Nakba

The stories of grandfathers and grandmothers about asylum, displacement, erasure, genocide and massacres committed by the Zionist gangs, and the injustice and persecution of the Palestinians, are still present in the memory of the Palestinians and the continuation of these massacres in various ways, means and tools by the settler-colonial racist regime, which is working diligently to complete it, by confiscating lands And deepening settlement, terrorizing settlers, imposing sovereignty and racist Jewish supremacy. Daily killing, military occupation and control tools to subdue the Palestinians.

Despite all that the occupying state is doing in terms of terrorism and attempts to raise awareness of the continuation of crimes and ethnic cleansing, racism and fascism, and the policy of dismantling and separation that the occupying state is carrying out towards the Palestinians.

However, it was not in the dreams of the Zionist movement and the leadership of the occupying state, later and now, to imagine the persistence, determination and will of the Palestinians and the challenge they are doing. .

You can imagine the extent of the destruction in the Gaza Strip and the targeting of citizens' homes in only five days, and the occupying state claims that it did not use all its power to confront the Palestinians in an unequal battle.

According to the statistics of the Ministry of Public Works and Housing, and the documentation of Al Mezan Center for Human Rights, the outcome of the center’s ongoing monitoring and documentation work, the number of martyrs rose to (33), including (6) children and (4) women, and (147) were injured. (48) children and (26) women. The outcome of the monitoring work until the date of writing the article indicates that the occupation forces completely destroyed (96) housing units, inhabited by (96) families consisting of (514) individuals, including (206) children and (86) women. In addition to hundreds of partially damaged housing units. And the displacement of its residents who lost their homes and became homeless.

On Monday morning, the 75th anniversary of the Nakba, Israel and its media began promoting the extraordinary success and capabilities of Israeli pilots to commit war crimes against Palestinian children and women in the aggression on Gaza.

Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper published, with a kind of celebration and pride, details about the assassinations carried out by the Israeli army in its military aggression against Gaza in the past few days.

According to the newspaper, the opening strike, which shocked the Islamic Jihad Movement after the assassination of 3 of the most prominent leaders of its military wing, was simultaneous, with a difference of only 4 seconds between each strike.

And that when Ahmed Abu Daqqa was assassinated, those in charge of the operation took into account that the building had no supporting walls, and therefore its roof would collapse on it.

Without the entire building collapsing, the operation was carried out with care and careful planning, and the assassination of Tariq Ezzedine was also carried out with careful planning.

Of course, careful planning to kill by targeting a person and his family with multiple missiles. What heroism and what courage, brazen pride in committing war crimes and killing innocent civilians, and recognizing their crimes before the world. This country that is proud of its alleged democracy?

It is supported by an unjust scientist who is a partner in killing innocent people, and works to protect criminals and help them escape accountability and accountability, and remain silent by granting them immunity in killing and defending them.

The continuation of the Nakba on a daily basis, and the recent aggression and assassinations are the natural context for a country that is outside international humanitarian laws, and it is a true expression of its criminal behavior carried out by the occupying state, and what the Israeli media mentions and the Israeli pilots confessed to their crimes without shame.

On the second day of the latest aggression, Yossi Melman, security and intelligence analyst at Haaretz, said: “The assassination reminded me of the night in 2002 and the bad statement of the Israeli Air Force commander at the time, Dan Halutz, when he was asked how the pilot felt after dropping a ton bomb. At that time, Israel targeted the martyr Salah Shehadeh, a senior official of the Al-Qassam Brigades, along with 16 civilians, in his home in Al-Tuffah neighborhood in Gaza City.

These targets are mostly civilian and agricultural lands, and this is evident through the statistics mentioned by human rights organizations.

At a time when the Israeli occupation continues its operations of ethnic cleansing and forced displacement of the Palestinians in the occupied West Bank and Jerusalem, the blockade of the Gaza Strip and the imposition of collective punishments, and its denial of their national and human rights, their right to liberation and the establishment of their independent state, and the right of return of the Palestinian refugees to their homes.

On the 75th anniversary of the Nakba, the United Nations commemorates the Nakba of the Palestinian people with great effectiveness at the organization's headquarters in New York City.

The decision to commemorate the anniversary is an achievement of Palestinian and Arab diplomacy, but this does not represent justice for the Palestinians, as the tragedy continues, without them being able to return and be liberated from the occupation. And the inability of the Palestinians to achieve their unity, which is a prisoner of division and the struggle for power and governance, before liberation from the occupation, and in contradiction to the nature of national liberation movements, and the transformation of the Palestinian national movement into a self-governing authority under the authority of the occupation, which is deprived of its will, and a hybrid political system that is dictatorial and repressive, to serve its objectives personal interests and privileges.

On the 75th anniversary of the Nakba, the encroachment of the occupying state, its continuous aggression, the escalation of resistance in the West Bank, and the continuation of the political crisis of the occupation, the Palestinian division continues.

There is no glimmer of hope for achieving Palestinian unity and confronting the occupying state and its policies.

Instead of opening a national dialogue, and in light of the weakening of the Palestinian Authority, the fading of its role, and its becoming more subject to the occupation, and talk from the Israeli media that preparations are underway to hold a regional security meeting with the participation of the Authority, Israel, Egypt and Jordan, and under American auspices. The meeting is a continuation of the "Aqaba" and "Sharm al-Sheikh" meetings, and its aim is to discuss security cooperation between the Palestinian Authority and Israel in confronting the Palestinian resistance in the West Bank.
