Israel’s war of retaliation against Hamas quickly morphed into a war of collective vengeance against the Palestinian people in Gaza and beyond.
The following two articles, translated from Arabic (Apple Translation Service) show what the Palestinian citizens of Israel, who are 20% of the population of Israel, look at Israeli onslaughton Gaza in particular and on Palestine in general.
In “The War of Civilization on Barbarism”… Suheil Kiwan , a Palestinian citizen of Israel, journalist and novelist, believes that Israel is not alone in its adventure to destroy everything Palestinian. He goes on to say “Successive Israeli governments have ignored the resolutions of international legitimacy supported by the world’s most powerful powers, the American-led forces of urbanization that destroyed Iraq, and killed about a million people in the name of “civilization in the face of barbarism”…”
In “Gaza does not raise the white flag! ”Suleiman Abu Arshid, a Palestinian citizen of Israel, journalist and writer, believe “ The war proved to Israel and the Arab Normalization with Israel that the Palestinian issue, which was the cause of the state of estrangement, hostility and war between the Arabs and Israel, still exists and is alive, and it is not possible to end the state of hostility and ruptism and normalize relations with Israel without resolving it.”
The War of Civilization on Barbarism”…
It is the war of civilization on barbarism and barbarism, this is how Bibi Netanyahu called this war.
Civilization manifests itself in its best form, by throwing the equivalent of an atomic bomb from the one thrown at Hiroshima, on housing, civil institutions, bakeries, journalists’ homes and even at hospitals! The daily killing of hundreds of civilians, mostly children and women, is a civilization, cutting off water from civilians from the first day of the war and preventing the entry of fuel and humanitarian materials for three weeks civilization, deporting hundreds of thousands of civilian residents from their homes, and then blowing it up is a civilization. Of course, all this is happening under the stated goal of dismantling the rule of Hamas, but in fact it is not a war to eliminate Hamas only, what is happening is a war of extermination with American and European support, it is a war of killing and displacement, it is an implementation of a plan that Netanyahu mentioned without ambiguity, when he asked Abdel Fattah al-Sisi to open the Rafah crossing to the displaced, and Sisi’s complicit response was to “transfer them with you to the Negev and eliminate the armed groups.”
Destruction and displacement in full swing and then directing the finger of responsibility to Yahya Al-Sinwar, as Israeli Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi stated, as if the Palestinian cause and the refugees in the Gaza Strip were born in October 2023, or born with the birth of Hamas, which was founded in 1987 as a popular resistance, was unarmed in its beginnings.
“Civilization in the face of barbarism,” a cover for implementing the doctrine of displacement from the Gaza Strip, and then the residents of the West Bank, by releasing the hand of settlers supported by the army to turn their lives into a hell to urge them to emigrate their homeland.
Israel’s successive governments have ignored the resolutions of international legitimacy backed by the world’s most powerful forces, the American-led urbanization forces that destroyed Iraq, killing about a million people in the name of “civilization in the face of barbarism.”
The governments of Israel were deplored by the United Nations resolutions previously and later by the resolution issued a few days ago, initiated by 22 Arab countries, and supported by 120 countries, calling for a ceasefire as a humanitarian truce. Israel’s ambassador, Gilad Erdan, described this decision as “a distoutrageous day for this body that no longer enjoys any legitimacy”! They then respond to every suggestion to allow humanitarian access and avoid killing civilians with further raids on residential buildings and the threat of bombing hospitals, after the massacre of bombing the Baptist.
Netanyahu and his government still have hope in achieving the old dream of displacing the residents of the Gaza Strip to Sinai, and this time America supports it with all its might and strength, and the people in the Gaza Strip declare them martyrdom or displacement, which is happening on the ground at every moment.
It is a war on the Palestinian people, on their right to self-determination in accordance with international resolutions to which Israel is not committed, but rather a war on their right to life.
The government of Israel has taken the families of civilians, and their killing on October 7 as a cover for carrying out a war of extermination and displacement of the population of the Gaza Strip, and its government refuses to receive the prosecutor at the International Criminal Court.
Netanyahu took advantage of the families and killing of civilians, including the elderly and children, to achieve his dream, so he called on the world to call on Hamas,
To be quickly joined by all those affected by Islamophobia, including Arabs and Muslims who take the fight against terrorism as a cover to suppress their opponents and to complicity with the occupation without regard to the right of the Palestinian people to self-determination.
Everyone who has an atom of humanity is aware that the killing of civilians or their families, especially children, women and the elderly, is an unacceptable act, from any party. The honorable goal is achieved by the honorable means, no matter how far the aggressor and the occupe is in his injustice and oppression.
And the last one who has the right to speak in morals is the one who occupies the land of others and usurp their rights, he is the highest degree of terrorism, and he is the first founder of terrorism.
After the deaths of about ten thousand Palestinian civilians, more than half of them children, civilization has not moved a finger, and still supports the continuation of the war of extermination, and with extreme modesty and only as a tax of words whispering what Britain’s Foreign Secretary, James Clevery whispered, “We expect Israel to abide by the laws of war,” I mean, he expects, but so far he has not seen war crimes. Civilization has become meaning exactly the opposite of its meaning, whoever distinguishes between the blood of a child, a child and a human being is still far from what can be called the first steps in civilization.
A new Nakba was committed and committed against the Palestinian people and against humanity under the auspices of “civilization in the face of attack.”
Gaza does not raise the white flag!
It is difficult to predict the results of the war that is entering its 27th day, but we can be sure that it is one of the bloodiest and detailed wars witnessed by the Palestinian-Arab-Israeli conflict in its history, during which the Israeli action is being likened to 48, for its eradication, displacement and ethnic cleansing.
It is known that the decision of the war and its military objectives, which were threatened to “crush Hamas” and “erasure it from existence,” and then landed by calling for undermining its pillars and ending its military and authoritarian presence in the Gaza Strip, did not result from a political and military assessment based on and in line with Israel’s strategy towards the Palestinian cause and the region in general, but came in response to the sudden and painful blow received by Israel on October 7.
Hence, the most important conclusions resulting from this war are the return of the Palestinian issue, which they tried to marginalize and remove from the table of regional and international research, to occupy the top of the priorities of the local, regional and international agenda as the central issue, which cannot be neglected, overcome and jump from it towards normalization of relations with the Arab world, as Israel sought.
The war proved to Israel and Arab printing presses that the Palestinian cause, which was the cause of the state of division, hostility and war between the Arabs and Israel, still exists and is alive, and it is not possible to end the state of hostility and ruptism and normalize relations with Israel without resolving it, through the latter’s recognition of the rights of the Palestinian people and reaching a political settlement that guarantees their minimum historical rights.
It also proved the failure of the strategy of dismantling the Palestinian cause by fragmenting the geographical and political unity of the Palestinians, by isolating Gaza and dismembering the West Bank and turning it into ghettoes, after the annexation of Jerusalem, the exclusion of refugees and the transformation of the issue of the 48 into an internal Israeli cause.
Israel, which itself implemented the “disengagement” plan with Gaza in 2005 with the clear goal of getting rid of its security and economic burden on the one hand, and separating it geographically and politically from the West Bank to prevent the possibility of establishing a viable Palestinian state in the territories occupied in 1967, and for this reason, it refused to negotiate with the arrangements with the Palestinian Authority for this withdrawal, is the one that today returns its men to Gaza, and reoccupy it and raises the possibility of returning the Palestinian Authority, to it as one of the future scenarios.
The war confirmed the fall of the Israeli strategy built by Sharon through the “protective fence” and the plan of “disengagement” and maintained and strengthened by Netanyahu during the 14 years of his rule, and summed up imprisoning the Palestinians behind the walls after dismantling their entity and fragmenting them geographically and politically, thus achieving the Zionist goal in seizing Palestine from the sea to the river and dominating the Arab region from the Nile to the Euphrates.
These conclusions are correct regardless of the results of the war, knowing that the Israeli army suffers losses that they describe as painful in the process of its slow advance on the gates of Gaza, he says, which is that if its income, it does not know how it will get out of it, nor what it will do after leaving it. He only knows how to bomb, destroy, and commit metaphor, genocide, and ethnic cleansing, in a world ruled by a West plaguered by guilt, schizophrenia, and burdened by a long history of colonialism, arrogance, and racial superiority.
In front of an Arab world ruled by helplessness and fatigue, the weight of the head and the ears, and the absence of dignity, pride and national solidarity, even with its humanitarian limit, which allows the introduction of medicine and fuel to Azza’s hospitals crowded with wounded, food and water for its people under bombardment and siege.
Despite all this, Gaza and its people stand, and the white flag, which was announced by its spokesmen, does not rise that it is in a battle of jihad, victory or martyrdom, and even Israeli analysts exclude the scenario of the exit of Hamas and jihad fighters similar to what happened in Beirut 82, which is talked about a lot on the last day, first because they are among their families and in their city; and second, because their city is Gaza and because their people are Gaza.
