Palestine, the Gordon complex, and the Alexander sword!!

The situation that the Palestinian cause has reached at all levels is similar to what is known as the Gordon complex, and it may even have surpassed it by turning it into a component of the Gordon complex. We are facing a unique and exceptional example of international issues and crises. Since the Palestinian issue arose more than 75 years ago, it has turned into more knots that are difficult to solve and untie. 

The Palestinian issue is one of the complex and extended issues that consist of endless knots. Rather, knots regenerate with the passage of time and not be eradicated from their roots. Returning to the origin and emergence of the Palestinian cause, which is the first important step in eradicating its main node, here is also the question about whose sword do we need? The principle in the Palestinian issue is to prevent the establishment of a state on the land of Palestine that brings together all of its Arabs and Jews, and this is due to a common desire and interest between the Zionist movement and imperialism, which was led by Britain, in the establishment of a Jewish nation-state exclusively for the Jews, as stated in the first Zionist Congress in 1897, which stipulated the establishment of this Jewish state. 

And instead of the British Alexander sword working to eradicate the problem and working for the establishment of a Palestinian state for all its citizens, he worked to eradicate the Palestinian component to establish this state, which was established in accordance with UN Resolution 197 and at that time Europe and America controlled the international organization, and to begin with the establishment of this state, the emergence of the Palestinian issue with the Gordon complex and the multiplicity of its components and levels. 

The sword of Alexander turned to the United States, which suspended him and controlled the complexities of the issue by not allowing from the first day the establishment of a Palestinian state and working towards joint solutions such as a confederal or federal solution on the land of Palestine, and by encouraging joint projects to present a new model for a state based on coexistence and one citizenship. Israel entered its wars, the first of which was the 1948 war, to highlight the refugee complex by displacing hundreds of thousands of Palestinian refugees to live in diaspora, the file of Jerusalem, dividing it and then controlling it, and the file of the non-establishment of a Palestinian state, and the continuation of the war option and the entry of Arab countries into it, starting with the 1948 war, then 1956, then the 1967 war, which according to which Israel occupied all the Palestinian lands and Arab lands, and to highlight the Arab-Israeli complex. 

In addition to this knot, there was the international knot and the disruption of all international legitimacy resolutions and the protection of Israel with the American veto. The Gordon complex became more entangled and complicated to the point where any solution would be difficult, as evidenced by the failure of all negotiations and partial settlement attempts to disrupt Alexander’s sword, which is controlled by the United States. With a microscopic political analysis of the issue to know the exponent of the Gordon knot, we first find the heart of the knot on both sides of the conflict, Israel and Palestine. 

Today, we find the Israeli Gordon complex represented by the current government, which embodies the summit and peak of the alliance between religious and national Zionism, by forming the most extremist government in Israel, which rejects any form of settlement of the Palestinian issue and an absolute refusal to accept the Palestinian state. And in the Jordan Valley, to complete the settlement circle, close the Jerusalem file completely, and not be ready to discuss the refugee file. On the other hand, the complex on the Palestinian level is represented in the political division, which has turned into a structure rooted in a political vision that is governed by ideological contradictions between Hamas and Fatah, and the absence of a national vision to deal with the Palestinian issue.

Gordon’s Palestinian complex is summarized in the disagreement over the issue itself, and in the weakness of the Palestinian variable and its role in the political decision and the impact of variables. And external influences, which increases the complex of decision and agreement. 

The knot extends to the Arab level and in the directions of peace with Israel and the decline of the issue as one of the components of Arab national security, which also no longer exists in the priority of national security for each country, and in the disintegration options that Arab countries are exposed to, and the issue turns into mere economic and political support. 

And internationally, and here lies the mother of the contract, that the issue is no longer an international issue with international priorities and concerns in front of the increasing international issues and in front of the transformations of the international system, and the Ukrainian war in its international dimension. And the monopoly of the United States until now on the sword of Alexander, who is able to resolve the issue, and the ineffectiveness and influence of other international actors preoccupied with its issues. 

Returning to the nature of the issue, activating the sword of alexander remains dependent on activating the Palestinian variable and restoring the issue to its international status. This requires activating the Arab variable and Palestine and linking the peace process to the settlement of the issue and the establishment of the Palestinian state, which constitutes the basic node in which all nodes constituting the issue may be dismantled and the sword of Alexander turned into the Arab hand that is capable of removing the knot from its roots through the establishment of the Palestinian state.
