If the battles were based on statements and speeches, victory would have been guaranteed
A new Arab summit was held, and leaders and leaders exchanged pleasantries and smiles, as usual, and each of them delivered an eloquent speech full of loose sentences and best wishes, and that the Arab world would be bright and fertile, full of goodness, happiness and prosperity.
Of course, as in every summit, conference, or meeting, the Palestinian issue was at the top of the decisions, and they adopted May 15, that is, the anniversary of the Nakba, as an Arab and international day to denounce it, as well as adhering to the Arab Peace Initiative as a way to achieve peace, although no one mentions this initiative or any other Details about it or an international response to it.
President Abu Mazen called on the Arab countries to submit their pleadings to the International Court of Justice to issue a fatwa on the occupation, even though President Abu Mazen himself said that there are seventy international decisions, not a single one of which has been implemented.
At the time the summit was taking place, an Israeli committee approved the establishment of 1,700 new settlement units and huge buildings, some of which were 13 stories high. In addition to commercial areas, public institutions, and parks. At the same time, hundreds of settlers also stormed the vicinity of Al-Aqsa Mosque, coinciding with Friday prayers. The occupation authorities continued to suppress the weekly peaceful marches carried out by our people, and repeated arrest campaigns and raids.
The Jeddah summit, with respect and without offending the participants, is just a repetition of the meetings that preceded it and what may follow it as well. We have been accustomed to that for many years, and if the battles were with speeches and statements, victory would certainly be guaranteed.
The Arab world, along with the Islamic and friendly countries, are able to stop all the crimes of the occupation and pave the way for peace and stability in the Middle East, if they act realistically and seriously, because Israel and all the Jews of the world do not exceed the population of Cairo and the wealth of the Arab world and its international strategic location. Our people have been suffering for 75 years, since the Nakba in 1948 until today, and the future does not look bright and does not herald progress and the subjugation of the occupation, but hope remains strong and authentic despite everything!!
The march of the Israeli flags and racist slogans
Tens of thousands of Jews participated in a mass march that came from West Jerusalem to East Jerusalem, the Old City and Damascus Gate, in particular.
The march was accompanied by large numbers of police and security men, who were alert to possible Palestinian reactions.
The racist slogans raised by these extremists indicate the immoral and inhumane thinking that characterizes them, and this has led to the fact that the strongest and greatest ally of Israel, the United States, has condemned these slogans and called on all parties to refrain from these hateful practices or rhetoric. Against these racists, which if it was issued by the Palestinian authorities, it would be a big and dangerous case and not as simple as condemning them as they did..
In any case, the popular international public opinion is fully aware of what these racists are doing, and therefore Israel's international isolation and understanding of our rights increases.
