All people are tired of some political terminology that actually lost its content a long time ago, and some are still repeating it knowing that it has no value or effect! The last of these manifestations, but not the least, was the demand of a large and comprehensive group that represents almost all European countries, in a statement issued by members of the consulates general of the following countries: Belgium, France, Italy, Spain, Sweden and the United Kingdom, and the representative offices of Denmark, Finland, Germany, and Ireland, in addition to a representative European Union office in the West Bank and Gaza Strip.
These countries and institutions called in a joint statement to stop all land grabs and demolitions, and called on the occupation to stop all of this and pay compensation to those who were affected.
This is positive and sound talk, but the issue is different. Israel does not listen to all this talk, but on the contrary, it continues the acts of demolition, confiscation of land and displacement of the population, and does not take into account any critic or rejection of this policy, because it realizes that this refusal is just talk and expression of a political position without value.
For decades, we have been listening to such statements and asserting that the settlements are illegal and the confiscation of land is a violation of all human concepts, but in Israel they do not listen to this and do not pay any attention to it, and see it as mere talk in the air.
The problem is not in Israel, but in us. We are the owners of the right, the land, history and the future, because the proverb says, “The strong are defective and the weak are disappointed.” As long as Israel is the strongest, it is expected that it will do everything that is wrong and illegal in implementation of its own interests and without any regard for the other or any fear of reactions. Which has become known and no more than verbal statements in the air.
If the Arab world possessed an iota of national responsibility, it would stop Israel at its limit and preserve the Palestinian land and the national future, but they stand helpless, lacking in resourcefulness and action, and say nothing except as the proverb says, “after the destruction of Malta.”
If the Arab world united and took a serious position, it would force Israel to accept the Palestinian national rights and not to persist in its arrogance and expansion. America.
America's interests in the Arab world, from the ocean to the Gulf, with all its oil wealth, geographical location, and military capabilities, are more than any other interest.
The Arab world, with its strategic location from Morocco to the Gulf, passing through Egypt, its oil wealth, etc., the density of its population and our historical culture, is capable of influencing all issues. Unfortunately, we stand not just helpless, but also like spectators, and like a game in the hands of others.
Many diplomatic missions, mostly European, have called on the Israeli government to stop demolitions and land seizures in the West Bank. The indirect response was that the Israeli government allocated large budgets to encourage housing in the settlements.
In summary: “The strong are defective...and the weak are disappointed.” This is an old political rule used in different eras. Today, despite the demographic and geographic strength of the Arab world and the enormous natural resources, it stands as a spectator to what is going on and does not take the initiative to act, but rather tries to respond to what others are doing, unfortunately. severe.
