The absurdity of the occupation... and the absurdity of assassination

Since its inception, the Zionist movement has adopted a policy of assassination and liquidation of Palestinian and Arab leaders, which it saw as a threat to its colonial expansion project / “settlement” / occupation on the land of historical Palestine. This policy was not spontaneous in one day, as it enjoyed the support of all heads of Israeli governments, regardless of their ideological thought, and all of them “believe” that it comes within Israel’s “security needs”!!!

The search for solutions, whether technical, military or security, to perpetuate the occupation is futile. This is confirmed by the history of the Palestinian resistance and others. People are born. Likewise, vital organizations, meaning that the assassination of Palestinian leaders is also an absurd act. In the past, Israel assassinated Ghassan Kanafani, and after him Abu Ali Mustafa. So has the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine ended?! The situation is the same with the Fatah movement, where many leaders were assassinated. Among the examples (examples only) is the assassination of Abu Ali Hassan Salameh, and those who preceded him from among the martyrs of the second class, not to mention the assassination of the martyrs Majid Abu Sharar, Abu Jihad, and Abu Iyad, headed by Abu Ammar. As for the “Islamic Jihad Movement”, which adopts the option of resistance and refuses to enter into the “political process”, its first Secretary General, Fathi Al-Shikaqi, was assassinated in 1995, and its leaders were martyred successively, passing through Bahaa Abu Al-Atta 2019, Hussam Abu Harbeed 2021, and each of the prominent leaders Tayseer Al-Jabri and Khaled Mansour Not ending with the new martyr leaders. This, without forgetting the captive leader Khader Adnan, who comes within the plan of the assassination policy. Of course, there is no need to clarify the obvious by mentioning the martyrs of many prominent leaders in the Hamas movement, headed by Sheikh Ahmed Yassin, and the martyrs: Yahya Ayyash, Dr. Abdelaziz Al-Rantisi, Jamal Mansour, Mahmoud Abu Hanoud, Salah Shehadeh, Ibrahim Al-Maqadmeh, and Ismail Abu Shanab, and the list also goes on. Did the assassinations end these factions (or others) or stop their work? Isn't her armed struggle (and others) renewed?

The absurdity of perpetuating the occupation by security and military means is known to everyone, including many Israelis. The repetition of “wars” on the Gaza Strip (or the West Bank) does not relieve the Zionist state from its “troubles.” At the end of each confrontation we return to the same point. Since the cease-fire, writings have poured in from prominent Israeli military and politicians stressing the absurdity of the previous and subsequent “wars” on the Gaza Strip.

Only shortsighted ones believe that the issue of assassinating a number of Islamic Jihad leaders (or other leaders) means an end to the battle. Despite the rise of the martyrs, the Islamic Jihad is still able to renew its strength, and we have seen this many times. And it excelled when it agreed in the last battle with the factions in the common room, to be the spearhead and take all the punches…. Without - of course - mentioning the punches that were inflicted by them and other factions on the heads of several basic components in the Israeli occupation society... The conclusion is: just as the occupation, every occupation, is absurd... the assassination of the leaders of the resistance from Fatahists, Hamasis, jihadists, and the martyrs of the popular and democratic fronts (and others) is also Absurd. This was confirmed in the struggles of the distant past, the recent past, and what will be confirmed in the struggles of the future.
