Strengthening the steadfastness of citizens to thwart annexation and expansion
Hardly any day passes without the occupation forces invading the cities, towns, villages and camps of the West Bank, apart from the measures taken to Judaize Jerusalem and confiscate lands, expand settlements and increase the number of settlers in the occupied Palestinian territory, which has become embarrassing not only the Palestinian National Authority, but also the national and Islamic action factions as well. The resistance factions, and everyone presents arguments not to confront these Israeli violations and crimes, many of which are carried out in broad daylight in cities and towns under the national authority, according to the Oslo Accord, from which the occupying state has left only its name, while refusing to implement any of its provisions, although it is not It meets the minimum level of Palestinian national rights.
And if the Palestinian Authority cannot prevent the occupation forces and herds of settlers from doing everything they do against our people, their land, and all their property and sanctities, then all the factions, whether supporting or opposing the Authority under different names, also do not provide anything mentioned in order to protect our people and prevent the occupation from continuing. and herds of settlers.
So the storming of Ramallah on Thursday/Friday night and the demolition of the house of the prisoner Islam Al-Faroukh, a city that is not only subject to the sovereignty of the Palestinian Authority, but also contains all the official Palestinian institutions, foremost of which is the headquarters of the Palestinian Presidency, without any confrontation with these forces that violate all international agreements, laws and norms, with the exception of citizens At the forefront of them were the young men, who confronted these forces with their bare chests, which caused severe injuries to many of them, including two journalists.
Here the question arises again; What is the point of the Palestinian Authority sticking to the Oslo Accords, and what is the point of remaining as it is without any role for it?! Which encourages the occupation to continue its violations and thus show the authority to our people that it cannot protect it from the Israeli occupation and the herds of settlers, and that its existence or not is the same, and the same applies to the rest of the factions without exception.
Here we do not call for fighting the occupying state in the traditional sense, i.e. confronting it with weapons, because the balance of power does not currently work in favor of the leadership and the factions. Rather, there are other means to confront this, the most prominent of which is providing all support and assistance to the citizens so that they can not only confront the occupation as is happening now with their chests. naked, but also by strengthening their steadfastness on their land to thwart the plans of the occupation by using force against them to force them to leave, to facilitate the procedures for continuing annexation, expansion and the establishment of more settlements.
It is the steadfastness of the citizens on their land that worries the occupying state and prevents the implementation of its policies and the failure of its plans to annex the West Bank, especially the Jordan Valley.
Hence, it is the duty of the Palestinian Authority and the rest of the factions to work by all practical means and not to issue statements on the steadfastness of the citizens who are defending the country and are ready to make more sacrifices for it.
