The artificial media march is an expression of an existential crisis
Every year, the Israeli occupation activates an artificial activity and an annual tradition that began in 1968 and continues to this day. Every year the number increases due to the media mobilization by Temple organizations and extreme right-wing parties to reflect the development of racist ideology as a racist march in which the holy area is transformed into a military barracks, shops are closed, and Palestinians are forbidden to roam, in addition to the association of this march with dances and songs of an extremist dimension through phrases against the Arabs and chants of death against the Palestinians.
In addition to the unprecedented state of alert in preparation for the completion of the march, and this is a sign of the settlers’ terror and fear, despite the fact that their march was passed without deterrence, since the main goal of this march is to consolidate their presence and provoke the Palestinians, in front of their certainty that the Jerusalem land is not theirs, but their insistence on passing the march to send a message to the Israeli opinion internal that the Jerusalem capital is united to them.
The march of the media is not a march that expresses opinion or a display of power, but rather a tool of religious and political warfare carried out by the occupation since 1948, whose aim is to strengthen the religious project and strengthen the "Halakha" state in which the Zionist presence is consecrated by changing the historical, demographic and geographical features of the city of Jerusalem until The decisive moment is the construction of the Temple, which is considered the last stage of completing the unified Jerusalem.
The march of the media showed the occupation’s turmoil and its fear of any response to the march, by following a plan that works to protect the march, the first of which was the neutralization of the Gaza Strip after the last battle waged by the occupation on the Strip, as well as the besieging of the West Bank and monitoring the entrances leading to Jerusalem, and the occupied Palestinian inside was neutralized from By obstructing their access to the Holy City, and also the decision to prevent the raising of the Palestinian flag, and it was considered that whoever raises the flag committed a legal criminal violation, not to mention the deployment of the Iron Dome systems, as a sign of the occupier's fear and the high level of alertness in order to avoid any repercussions.
The passage of the media march without deterrence does not mean surrender, as it is not the responsibility of one faction or one geographical area to carry out the tasks of the first defense of Jerusalem and the sanctities.
Jerusalem is the responsibility of everyone and every Palestinian individual present in Palestine, and that the media march aimed at consolidating the Zionist narrative, which was supposed to have media opposition to confront this narrative by mobilizing the Palestinians in the Jerusalem spot to strengthen the Palestinian presence and increase popular influence as a tool that has the brunt of consolidating the Palestinian narrative In front of the current conflict, which is the struggle of existence between the Palestinians and the Israelis.
The popular influence is the responsibility of the factions that did not do what is necessary to strengthen the Palestinian presence on the day of the “media march.” Also, confronting any emergency that the occupation undertakes requires a single national front and force, not an intermittent front. It happens in Jerusalem, in addition to the Arab role, as long as they sing about it that Jerusalem is Arab and Islamic.
The passage of the march without a response is an indication of the weakness of the Palestinian reality, and that the Nakba of Palestine is not represented by the Nakba of 1948, but rather there is the Nakba of division that reinforces the loss of the Palestinian cause and the waste of the West Bank in favor of the occupation by gradually annexing it and strengthening the decisive plan for Smotrich, in which he refuted articles that consolidate forced displacement and the annexation of the peaceful population For the occupying state, and whoever refuses to emigrate or surrender, the “assassination regime” is ready.
As for Gaza, after the state of calm continued for a long time, the Strip is the project of the small state, in which there are elements of the establishment of a state despite the small geographical location. Under the pretext of threats to Israel's national security, and exporting its internal crises through temporary wars, as happened in Operation Shield and Arrow.
The way out of the murky Palestinian situation and in the face of the absence of a long-term political horizon is the consolidation of democracy between the West Bank and the Gaza Strip, at least to save what can be saved in the face of the occupation’s plans that are being implemented with regional and international approval to integrate the occupation as a regional force that affects the Arab neighborhood and is not affected by it.
Despite the Jeddah Summit, its results may be positive for Arab reunification, but this union is not far from an American-Israeli green light. Instead of consolidating the theory of wars and partisan conflicts that changed balances that were not taken into account, it is now consolidating the theory of neutralizing wars through the use of soft power for penetration and integration that is less expensive and less expensive. In terms of human losses, and if soft power does not succeed in restoring the American balance in the Middle East region, the Third World War will inevitably come to settle the equation for one of the conflicting parties or to create a new international order in which spheres of influence will be shared among them after agreement and consensus.
