A military operation in the West Bank to perpetuate the occupation
In the occupying state, there is nothing more sacred than military logic, everyone is mobilizing for the next battle, and at the peak of time, no journalist or political or military commentator dares to ask, will the large-scale military operation in the northern West Bank turn into the ignition of all of Palestine.
The occupying state is no longer able to bear another surprise and a new shock that shakes the occupying state and its political and security system.
In the occupying state, anger increases among the settlers, and Israeli threats to strike the Palestinians increase. Whether from the political and security level, even from the media, journalists, and political and military analysts, the idea of revenge for the dead settlers dominates.
There was talk of disagreements, sessions, and security discussions and the need to carry out some kind of bloody action in the northern West Bank. And incitement against the Palestinian leaders abroad and at home, and the threats are varied and bloody.
It seems that the Israeli society and the Zionist movement and more than 100 years of continuous bloody surprise, and that the Palestinians defend their dignity and seek freedom and self-determination.
The state of denial and disregard is that the four settlers killed near the village of Silwad were settlers, that the settlements are a war crime, and that apartheid is a crime against humanity.
And those who demand a harsh response against the Palestinians, and a massive military operation in the West Bank. And that the journalists, military analysts and all the generals who are already waiting for an opportunity for another bloody military operation and a new massacre on the backs of the murdered Palestinian victims, and the blood that is spilled.
All those settlers and politicians refuse to accept the racist and fascist axiom of the occupying state, and that the occupation and settlements are war crimes, and the occupying state practices war crimes, and apartheid is a crime against humanity.
The price of Palestinian blood is expensive and is worth more than other blood. The value of Palestinian blood is great, and it deserves sacrifice for the sake of national dignity, pain, justice and protection.
In light of the resumption of talk about the military operation in the northern West Bank, and in view of the occupying state and its terrorist criminal context, it has no options but to use more force and aggression, and it realizes that the wider the aggression and a large-scale military operation, it will be more bloody than what is existing, and the resistance will escalate and the Palestinian lands will ignite occupied.
I would like to mention that there has been a barbaric military operation since March of last year, called Breaking Waves, and more than 20 battalions of the Israeli army were deployed, the aim of which was, in fact, to fill gaps in the fence and achieve more deterrence through killings, arrests and home demolitions.
The Israeli army did not stop its incursions all the time in all areas of the West Bank, including the Palestinian cities classified as Area A.
Is the talk here about the broad military operation to restore cities, and the government's lack of conviction that it no longer has clear boundaries for such an operation and is continuing its aggression?
The ongoing aggression in the West Bank, and every Palestinian is a legitimate and legal target for the occupation, and the false claim that there are no losses and uninvolved parties? This is assuming that every Palestinian, even if he is 5 or 14 years old, is a target?
Settler terror and the daily crimes of the occupation, the storming of Jenin a few days ago, the special forces, tanks and helicopter gunships.
House demolitions, assassinations, and arrests are taking place against the background of popular resistance, and for more than a year, more and more organized and intensive military operations have been carried out by the Israeli army, with all forces armed with all capabilities, and using all the force it can use.
Civilians were killed, destruction was sown, and not even all "terror suspects" were arrested, all for the sake of the continuation of the occupation in the West Bank and the authority over the Palestinians and their oppression.
In Jenin, a number of soldiers of the occupation army were wounded, and four Palestinians were killed and dozens were injured. In fact, what happens to the Israeli army begins with what happens to the settlers, because this is, in fact, the essence of the occupation, which ignores the relationship between actions and results.
Most Israelis are convinced that the occupation is necessary, and claim that they have no choice but to continue the occupation. The truth is that, in fact, it is a continuous, harsh military rule that imposes the tools of control and controls all aspects of the lives of millions of Palestinians.
The occupation produces terrorism, killing, destruction and fear, and the Israeli army, one of the most powerful armies in the world, and of course the strongest in the Middle East, requires more and more killing and destruction, to complete the settlement colonial project and protect the settlers.
When the Israeli army carries out its daily criminal operations in Jenin, Nablus and the rest of the Palestinian cities, it does so as a foreign occupation army.
How should it be viewed, and accordingly what would be the normal human reaction when a foreign army invades your country and your city?
What happened yesterday in Silwad should have happened because there is a brutal military occupation and terrorist settlers who spread death and fear. And what will happen is justified, which is the Palestinian right and self-defense.
