Israel revolts for its prisoners and forgets that it occupies Palestine

Israel is waging a massive war against the Gaza Strip from the air, land, and sea. It is destroying and sabotaging various buildings, institutions, and centers, and of course killing thousands of people in the Strip, whether they are in places of worship, such as mosques and churches, or in various medical, humanitarian, social, and other institutions. It does not take into account children or the elderly. Thousands of martyrs fell, the majority of them children and women, all under the pretext of the presence of dozens of its citizens held captive by Hamas.


A meeting of the United Nations General Assembly was held after the failure to reach any resolution in the Security Council due to the use of the veto by this or that party, and we heard in the General Assembly many speeches that were all, in general, just talk in the air without reaching any significant impact on the tragic reality that More than 2 million Palestinians live in the Gaza Strip, and thousands of them took refuge from the north, which is the direct front of the attacks, to the south in the hope of being saved from the crimes of the occupation, but that did not help much, and the raids reached the far south of the Gaza Strip, and many were martyred or wounded.


In the General Assembly, we heard many statements and speeches without any change or effect in reality from a practical standpoint, because the United Nations issued many resolutions and took many positions without this having any effect or change in reality.


Israel claims that this attack is a response to the positions of the Hamas movement and the fall of dozens of Israelis into the hands of its forces, and that it seeks to liberate them from captivity. There were estimates that an agreement would be reached on a truce as soon as possible, without any support for that.

Israel gets angry, revolts, and attacks because dozens of its citizens are in captivity and forgets that there are more than six thousand Palestinian prisoners in its prisons. It also forgets, and this is the most important and most strange, that it occupies the West Bank, including Jerusalem, establishes dozens of settlements, and confiscates tens of thousands of dunams of its land, and does not consider this to be a heinous crime that violates all international laws and concepts, and does not believe that the Palestinians have the right to defend their land and rights.
A truce may be agreed upon and the assault on Gaza will stop, but this is not the necessary and required decision to end the conflict. Rather, Israel’s withdrawal from the West Bank, including Jerusalem, and the establishment of a Palestinian state that includes the West Bank and Gaza, is the only solution that puts an end to this conflict that has continued for decades, and without that this conflict will continue for dozens and dozens of years to come. Do they realize this in Israel?
