The dust of aggression cleared, and the smell of blood remained, intermittent dreams and a continuous catastrophe
The last five days of the war of uprooting, which has extended since the Nakba, have come to an end. This time, too, by declaring a truce or truce in which the killing will stop temporarily, after new names have been added to the list of martyrs, orphans, widows, and bereaved families, some of whom have become homeless.
Gaza, which is inhabited by about two million Palestinians, more than seventy-five percent of whom are refugees who were expelled from their homes in 1948, and none of them, after they were misled that they would return after a few weeks, expected that the rounds of that war of aggression would extend to their grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and sometimes to their great-grandchildren, to fight in it In search of a homeland that some people are tearing apart in a struggle over a power that has nothing left of it except to gnaw at its credit and precious sacrifices that our people are still offering on the altar of their freedom.
Gaza, which made its way since the first days of the Nakba in the harsh refugee camps, is here today, and on the anniversary of the Nakba, renewing its oath to continue with a struggle that never stopped, and it irrigates the land with the pure blood of its best children. As for the great paradoxes, it is that the era of Gaza, which led the Palestinian refugee revolution, blew up the Eilabun Tunnel and gave birth to the finest founding leaders, found itself in this round alone, even among its rulers, whose only concern was to remain under the rule of the people of Gaza, or outside of influencing their fate.
Palestine revives the memory of the catastrophe experienced by the cause of our people on every part of its valleys, mountains and plains.. in the Galilee, the Triangle and the Negev, and from Jerusalem, the capital, to all the frontiers of the country, and in all the places of refuge in the diaspora of capitals. However, Gaza, which remained loyal to Palestine, commemorated the Nakba this year in its own way emblazoned with the will of the free, and declared once again its seventy-five-year-old message, that the Palestine that they wanted to erase is back and returning, and it is unbreakable despite the “wisdom or lethargy” of those who appointed themselves They ruled over it and were distracted from the blood of its children, and from the oath of the founders of its revolutions, uprisings, and continuous gifts, until the next horizon of freedom looms with the dawn of one morning.
Gaza did not seek this round of war, as its people were preoccupied with searching for a living on the borders of the barbed wire of the siege, just as the Jihad movement did not seek power or struggle over its crumbs, and preferred to speak in the language of adults, so it did not admonish those who left it alone, as some of them left. The country swallowed his tongue so that the smell of blood would not compel him to speak, just as the same land swallowed the egos of others and they became masters of the "philosophy of wisdom" after they failed to rule.
Unusually, the language of the speakers was full of instructions full of "emergent wisdom", and we said at the time, "If wisdom is the master of the situation, then so be it!" Metaphysics when approaching division makers. However, it seems that the equations after the round are not the same as those before it, as it is the third round in which the jihad movement is left alone and it was not the initiator. But this time she decided to say that defeat is not destiny, although she did not sing of a victory yet to come.
The words that the Palestinians repeat as they commemorate their calamity for each of the leaderships of the two powers of division: “Every time our people prove that they are greater than their leaders, and if you are unable to carry the banner of return, freedom and self-determination, then let us rewrite our history, and redefine our calamity that began with the crimes of the movement.” Zionism, international complicity, and Arab negligence, and unfortunately it still continues due to your divisive hegemony at the expense of the higher interests of our people.”
The lessons of this battle remain visible, knocking on the walls of the reservoir, to be dealt with seriously, whether in regard to the fact that Israeli aggression, no matter how overwhelming, will never be able to deter our people’s adherence to the homeland of our fathers and grandfathers, or in terms of the requirements for building a broad and unified Palestinian front that restores consideration for the inclusive national institutions to take upon themselves the responsibility of protecting the cause Our people, and strengthening their steadfastness and ability to survive.
