Fifty-six years after the occupation of 1967.. the Palestinian issue, where to?

Two of the Palestinian people do not differ on the extent of the danger that the Palestinian cause faces, and on the liquidation schemes against national rights, including the liquidation of the ability to survive and exist.


You hear such talk from the overwhelming majority of the vast majority of people, and the frequency of blaming the leadership that dominates the divisive scene and its failed political options, "the antagonist and the negligent" responsible for this reality, and the resulting disintegration of the national movement, is escalating, and this is 100 percent true, but it depends. At that point, despite the scattered embryonic attempts that seek to change it, while the suffering of this majority and the concern over its national destiny continues and deepens. You also hear sayings warning of the danger to the national destiny of those who dominate this scene and cling to their factional and private interests, and they repeat laments of holding the world responsible for Israel's aggression and escalating aggressiveness, and although this is also true, it is only faced by the struggle over the crumbs of power and the threat of its dissolution. Through the policy of appeasing the enemy in pursuit of mere survival, as if the occupation is the source of their legitimacy, and not the people whose constitutional and national right was confiscated by electing their representatives, choosing their leadership, correcting the path, restoring the cause to its place, and retrieving the rights from its usurpers, so how can one unite by appeasing the enemy and asking the world to confront its aggression?!

The path of change, or at least radical reform and its entitlements, has become known in terms of the goal and the road map that might lead to it. However, it seems that the question of what social forces are qualified to lead this change is still vague and the answer to it is more vague, and it must be concretely addressed if we are serious. By bringing about institutionalized change or reform, in a way that contributes to the crystallization of an influential and widespread movement, and opens towards the requirements of a struggle strategy that preserves the national rights of our people, and provides the elements for people’s ability to withstand and survive as the main lever for any national project or struggle strategy to achieve it.

Until now, the diagnosis of reality and the attempt to prescribe a treatment has not left the answer to the question, which is whether it is possible to get out of the bottleneck by restoring the senses of those who brought us into it, i.e. by agreeing to end the division, or that leaving the bottleneck requires a different social carrier even if that results in a break. the same bottle. It is self-evident that those who "slipped" about the national cause and the reality of the state of division, "and I say they slipped out of caution against taking the risk of making accusations easy, or questioning the patriotism of whoever it is," and after sixteen years of its continuation towards a state of separation, they are realizing and repeating that what is happening is not It serves only Israel, yet they do nothing to stop this farce, which in fact formed a base and a spearhead that dared the Zionist project to adopt a strategy according to which the solution to the crisis of their subjugating colonial project lies in the possibility of liquidating the Palestinian national project, and completing the plans to uproot the Palestinians from this country as a requirement. To extricate the Zionist project from its bottleneck and its historical crisis, which explains the rapid shifts in the Israeli regime towards the fascist right, which is at the forefront and capable of accomplishing that task.

It has become clear that whoever brought the situation to this point is unwilling or at best unable, and may still believe that it is not in his interest to change, meaning that he will not be part of either the revision, nor the future of opening the way for the people’s participation in the process of change, but rather He will obstruct it with all his remaining strength, including more concessions to the enemy and not just appeasing him in order to survive and win the representation of the security agency.

And so it is; What is to be done to preserve the sacrifices and achievements that our people paid dearly for with the blood of their children and the suffering of an entire people since the "Nakba 48" and the defeat of 1967, whose anniversary coincided with the fifth of June yesterday. I have already indicated that this requires building a broad popular front to overthrow the culture of division, domination, exclusion and the monopoly of power And resources, and a return to the syndrome of unity and democracy, but the question that has not yet been answered is how can this be done?Here and from a position of realizing that the popular majority is affected and feels the extent of the imminent danger, but believes in the difficulty of change due to the interdependence of factional interests and the self-opportunism of those who hold the reins of the scene and support the forces Regional and Israeli interest to keep the situation as it is.


The possibility of restoring the national cause from the clutches of division and preserving rights towards restoring it from the teeth of the bulldozers and plans of the occupation is an integral responsibility from the lowest to the highest and vice versa. Here the debate should focus on who are the personalities who qualify for this in terms of their patriotism, their local, regional and international standing, their cleanliness and experience, to launch a clear, specific and tangible collective initiative in which they assume their historical responsibilities by throwing a serious stone into the stagnant pond, in a way that converges with the aspirations of the silent majority and responds to them, giving them The hope for the possibility of change even if it requires a social revolution and the willingness to pay its price, which opens the realistic possibility of restoring the status of the Palestinian cause and the unifying national institutions and the compass of the national struggle against the occupation. Even with a minimal responsibility not to confront such an initiative and to respond to the transitional road map presented by it, especially in terms of involving everyone in leading the national destiny in preparation for fair and transparent democratic elections, or they have placed themselves outside the scope of responsibility entrusted to them and what that means in terms of entitlements.
