The resistance will not be defeated, and the solution is to establish a state

Anyone who thinks that the occupying state, through the genocidal war it is waging primarily against the Gaza Strip and in the West Bank, will lead, as it says, to eliminating the Hamas movement and the resistance and wiping it out of existence, is mistaken, and that the goal of this aggressive and criminal war is against the resistance, and not against the Palestinian people, as the state claims. The occupation and its media used to serve it.


The resistance is a broad, popular extension. The resistors are the people of the Gaza Strip, and this means that it is a resistance with popular roots. This means that it is not possible to defeat a people demanding their legitimate national rights to freedom, independence, and getting rid of the occupation.


We say this based on the history of the peoples and the world revolutions that triumphed over Western colonialism and America, because it is the armies that are defeated, not the peoples, and the best evidence of that is what happened in Iraq and Afghanistan, where the occupation forces dragged their tails and fled from Afghanistan despite the strength and military equipment they possessed. However, it could not continue its occupation in the face of the will of the fighters who have popular extensions, and the same is true in Iraq and in the future in Syria, Libya, and all the Arab regions where there are American and Western forces and bases.


In the past, the defeat of America and France in Vietnam, as well as Japan in China, were all indications that peoples are not defeated, but rather defeat the aggressor, colonizer and settler, as happened in Algeria with its one and a half million martyrs.


Our Palestinian people, who have been struggling for their national rights for more than a century, cannot be defeated or their resistance defeated, no matter how intense the aggression is and no matter how much America and the colonial West support it, because this resistance has long and deep roots among our people.


It is true that the aggressive war being waged with American and Western participation against Gaza and the West Bank can be weakened in the foreseeable future, but it cannot be defeated or eradicated as the occupation authorities and their Western allies claim.


Even if we assume for the sake of argument that the resistance has been defeated, which is unlikely, the resistance will rise again and repeat the process once, twice, three times, and perhaps more until its goals of complete freedom and independence are achieved.


Hence, the occupying state and its Western allies, led by America, have no choice but to actually and practically acknowledge the national rights of our people and work seriously and on the ground to establish an independent Palestinian state with Holy Jerusalem as its capital, and not to repeat the farce of the two-state solution and that this solution will be later and not sooner, and its goal is Throw ash in the eyes.


Accordingly, the West’s colonial tone regarding the Palestinian people’s right to freedom, independence, and a decent life are nothing but attempts, for some Arab and Islamic regimes to continue pinning their hopes on America and the West and betting on them, is a loser by all standards.
