President's speech before the revolutionary and the "angry" reactions!

The reactions of some European countries in particular, and America and other countries in general, to the speech of President Mahmoud Abbas before the eleventh session of the Revolutionary Council of the Fatah movement, which was held in Ramallah on August 24, if they indicate anything, they indicate the height of Israel’s international hypocrisy and the double standard whenever it occurs. It is about the Palestinian people and their cause.

The West, which allows some heretics to burn the Holy Qur’an under the pretext of freedom of expression, denies President Mahmoud Abbas the ability to express a point of view supported by historical facts, the essence of which is that the Jews of Eastern and Central Europe are Khazar Tatars who converted to the Jewish religion after their king converted to this religion, and that they are not descendants of Israel. The Children of Israel, who were mentioned in the Qur’an and that they were not Semites, descendants of Shem, son of Noah.

In fairness to the scientific truth, what was stated by President Abbas was not one of his innovations or inventions, but rather some of what was said by many researchers, whether those who studied and specialized in European and Jewish history or those who specialized in studying the Holocaust as one of the most heinous crimes against humanity in modern history.

The President did not deny the Holocaust, but rather mentioned some theories adopted by many historians and international researchers, knowing that some of them are controversial, especially by the Jews and their European sympathizers, who carry on their backs the burdens of their Nazi criminal ancestors whose hands are stained with blood, but these are hypocrites who fish in the water. Al-Akar took the initiative to take the president's speech out of context, reflecting on their loyalty and hypocrisy to international Judaism.

In order for things to be put in their correct context, we must agree that the Holocaust is a historical fact and a stain on the history of Europe, and that our people paid the price for the Nazi crimes against the Jews because Europe colluded and helped to displace our people from their homeland, rob them of their property and capabilities, and turn the vast majority of them into refugees, all of this from For the establishment of a national homeland for the Jews in Palestine.

The European, American, Canadian and other reactions ignore the fact that our people were displaced from 78% of their land in 1948 and the rest of it was occupied in 1967, and that more than six million Palestinians are today subject to the racist Jewish occupation that receives political, military and economic support from the hypocritical, arrogant West that is blind to crimes. The occupation is against our people.

There is no doubt that some of the reactions to the president’s speech constitute an insult not only to the president but also to all of the Palestinian people, because President Abbas is not an ordinary person, but rather a symbol that represents all of his people, whether those who agreed with his policies or those who opposed them. These policies, which in essence are based on respecting international legitimacy and adhering to it, and adopting a peaceful political approach in searching for a way to restore our people’s stolen rights, are the policies that are subjected to harsh criticism from a wide segment of our people, whom the Western policy of complicity with the occupation has made lose their confidence and belief in international legitimacy. He was forced to resort to violence as a means to regain his rights, and he clashed with the president’s refusal to pursue violence and his insistence on adhering to the method of searching for a political solution that would lead to achieving a just peace.

If there is a lesson that we must learn from the insulting reactions to the president’s speech, some of which exceeded all limits of tact and political norms followed in international relations, then two lessons must be pointed out that must be taken into consideration:

The first lesson is that we must understand that whoever wants to work within the framework of international legitimacy and play in the international political arena must stop entering into political minefields and realize that there are sensitive matters on which there is almost international consensus and that it is neither in his interest nor in the interest of his cause. He must not delve into it, but he must not come close to those international postulates so as not to be misunderstood or for his words to be taken inappropriately.

The second lesson, which is the most important, is that we have lost the respect of the international community for us and that there is a new international trend being developed that is trying to deal with us on the basis that we are a social issue, that we are a group of beggars at the gates of countries of the world, that we are corrupt, that have lost institutional legitimacy, that we are chasing money and that we are ready to give up our dignity for it.

We must not be ashamed to admit that our international standing is in continuous decline and that there are people and civil society organizations among us who coordinate with countries and international organizations in promoting the moral assassination of the Palestinian Authority and its symbols, and who do not hesitate to accuse the Authority of corruption, rightly at times and unjustly at other times. The Palestinian Authority, with all its components, must admit that, with its poor performance, it is also contributing to the campaign to distort the image of our people, their leadership, and the justice of their cause.

Everything is old! Old age sometimes loses its prestige and ability to perform well.

If the state of collapse that brought us to the humiliation we have reached and which made the stranger covet us before the relative is not remedied, then peace be upon us and our cause.

If we do not respect ourselves, others will not respect us. The first step towards our self-respect is a bold step towards restoring legitimacy, the legitimacy of institutions and leadership and everyone who claims to be authorized to speak on behalf of this people, and adopting transparency and making room for young energies to take their role in all facilities and joints from the base to the top of the pyramid. All of this through the legitimacy of free, transparent and fair ballot boxes to begin rebuilding the democratic approach that we dreamed of for decades and which we tried to build when the authority was established, but it faltered after its first steps!
