Criminal gangs at home only serve Israel

Since the establishment of the occupying state, it has been working to stir up strife within the Palestinian society at home, that is, what is left of our Palestinian people inside their homeland in 1948, with the aim of attempts to prevent them from organizing their rights to confront the apparatus of the occupying state that worked against them by various means to keep them dispersed and not united, and arrested many Their leaders warned many of their organizations that called for their unity to defend their rights.

For years, the occupying state, through its security institutions, has been neglecting Palestinian society at home and encouraging crimes committed by some, or criminal gangs, against citizens. Citizens think only of protecting themselves from these criminal operations.

The work of these gangs was not limited to murders that affected children, adults, and women. Rather, they impose taxes on the owners of commercial and non-commercial shops under the guise of providing them with protection from criminal gangs, while they themselves are criminal gangs. Whoever does not pay the taxes, his shop is either burned or destroyed. At the very least, a bomb was placed outside it to force its owner to pay the taxes, which increased poverty within the Palestinian community at home.

The Israeli authorities also make it easier for these gangs to obtain weapons, either by facilitating their theft from Israeli military bases, or buying them cheaply from the black market, or through the occupation soldiers, and of course with the approval of the Israeli state agencies, primarily the police and Shin Bet men.

As a result, these gangs spread and expanded, and they have a presence in all Arab cities, towns, and villages in the Palestinian interior, and the Israeli authorities know this and encourage these gangs to carry out their crimes. Except for a very small number, and the rest are registered against an unknown person or persons.

Frankly speaking, the occupying state and its security services are responsible for the proliferation of these gangs and for the crimes they carry out. The statements made by many Israeli leaders are nothing but sowing dust in the eyes and in front of world public opinion that they are working, but there is no trick.

What also means is that if a weapon is used in any operation against the occupation, the Israeli security services declare a state of alert until the perpetrator is arrested, and most of the time they kill him in cold blood and in broad daylight without trial, although they can arrest and prosecute him, which is contrary to the International laws and norms.

Here, it must be noted that the Palestinian leaderships at home also bear part of the responsibility, even if it is simple, because it is their national, human and moral duty to exert more efforts and carry out awareness-raising operations among the youth and in schools and mosques, and to show everyone, i.e. the citizens, that they are the only beneficiaries of what is happening. Inside the Palestinian society is the occupying state that encourages these crimes to keep the Palestinian society ravaged by these gangs, and does not secure his life, which has become cheap for these gangs that see only their personal interests without the interests of society. demanding his national rights.
