The unity of the detainees' movement is the secret of victory
The sticks refuse to break when they come together, and when they separate, they won't break into pieces
And the Lord of Glory says: “Hold fast to the rope of God all together and do not become divided.”
These verses and this poetry have always been translated as a reality and not a slogan. If bodies were united, arms joined together, and spirits and souls merged between the factions and members of the captive, free national movement, then the colors disappeared, the color of fighting emerged, the narrow factionalism vanished, and the free Palestinian was named under one flag, and the fighting spirit rose with the tightening of the forearms, so we breathed. We sighed, relished the euphoria of victory, achieved our goal, and proceeded from one stage to another.
From the stage of division, humiliation, and singling us out individually, to a stage in which we took away our rights, in which we found ourselves, our pride, and in which we discovered the sources of our strength, to the point that we gained the upper hand, and raised our ceiling, which yesterday was a dream, and we are no longer willing to give it up, and we will not give up our unity. Which led us to the path of our victory. On the contrary, we bit our fingers in regret for the days in which we were divided, each singing the night before, while the enemy played the strings of our band and danced with joy over it, and reveled in our pain and wounds, of which we were a major cause through our ignorance.
True unity and sincere interconnectedness of hearts. I will not be satisfied until my brother is satisfied, and I will not sleep until he sleeps, and I will not be safe until he is safe, and they will not reach me, over my corpse, as I hold him tight and he is the belt on my back. This is the true, free, revolutionary, and proud Palestinian prisoner, and this is what We discovered it and achieved it with our unity under the leadership of the Supreme National Committee for the Prisoner Movement, which derives its strength from the strength of its soldiers and individuals. We repelled the attack of religious Zionism, and the attack of Ben Gvir and his government, which wants to see us as humiliated, broken, divided, and without rights, even the most basic ones. However, these criminals were hit by a wall. Our unity, their plans were shattered on the rock of our interconnectedness, their dreams were scattered under the rugs of our guerrillas, and they were defeated in disappointment by the grace of God Almighty. We asserted our rights and stopped their attack, and we became an impenetrable dam and an example to be followed by all the lost people searching for narrow personal glories with no good in them.
Unity, oh sons of our great people, and I would love for every Palestinian to follow our example in all places and arenas, unity of the fronts, and unity of the field, is a trust that only the greats can carry, and search for the highest interests of their people, and whoever conspires against them will be held accountable by our people and history, so learn, oh sons of our people with all their spectrums, For what we paid as a price in our flesh and blood, just as you pay every day with your division, there is no salvation for us or for you except through our sincere and strong unity, and here it was tried, and it was victorious. Is there anyone who counts?
