A PALESTINIAN STATE IS
POSSIBLE
Despite all Zionist
attempts to appropriate their territories and erase the identity of the
Palestinian nation, the perseverance in resistance seen with the operation “Al
Aqsa Flood” and the treachery of the extremist Jewish regime in Tel Aviv
against the population of the Gaza Strip, mark a point of no return to the
construction of a Palestinian nation state
By Sidney Hey
Perhaps I need reminding
again, but Israel has already lost the war in which it sought to push the
Palestinian inhabitants of the Gaza Strip into the Sinai desert. While the
merciless bombardment of Gaza's remaining rubble continues, the IDF has not
succeeded in securing the ground and already hundreds of its troops have been
killed and thousands of wounded populate its hospitals.
On the border with Lebanon,
things are no better. In recent weeks, attacks by the Shiite resistance group “Hesbollah”
have not only caused heavy casualties and the displacement of its settlers, but
also caused extensive damage to the military communications and electronic
intelligence infrastructure that it has deployed from the high points of the
border. Israel has limited itself to bombing southern Lebanese villages,
killing civilians. In response to this was the devastating strike a few days
ago on the Air Command Centre base on Mount Meron.
The big loser is
Netanyahu and his ultra-right wing Zionist associates aligned mainly with the
settlers in the illegal settlements who are seeing their American benefactors
letting go of their hand. Another loser is the administration of the
duplicitous and ambiguous Joe Biden who emptied virtually the treasury to
provide all the weapons, bombs and extra funding Israel needed for what his
advisors believed would be a crushing campaign against “Hamas”.
As for the role of the
US, Biden, like every president who has occupied the White House, has done
nothing but play the ambiguous role of false mediator with the Palestinians,
and today, faced with the evidence of the grave situation in which his partner
Netanyahu finds himself, he pretends to play the role of peacemaker when in
reality he has never been one.
Netanyahu and his
general staff led by the lunatic Yoav Gallant believed that by causing an
exemplary massacre on the civilian population he would lower the morale of the
fighters of the “Ezzedin Al Qassam” Brigades, “Al Quds” and the Marxists of the
PFLP, opening the way for an easy entry of their soldiers who in turn would
push the Palestinians into Egypt. But, bad news. After 109 days of attempts and
systematically blowing up every Palestinian building and house, the resistance
persists and to make matters worse, it is spreading from other points.
Perhaps what marks this
failure most is how, despite the systematic campaign of assassinations against
journalists covering indiscriminate Israeli attacks in Gaza, the world has been
able to see and witness the twisted “morality” boasted about in Tel Aviv and by
its supporters elsewhere in the world. Netanyahu has many things to explain to
his people (among them who financed Hamas) and a very specific one that is
linked to the so-called “Operation Jericho Walls” and its link to the bizarre
permission for the Palestinian resistance to penetrate on the morning of 7
October 2023 over every one of its fortifications.
In an effort to clean up these inconsistencies and eliminate eyewitnesses to what was done and is still being done in the strip, Netanyahu and his supporters believed that as before, by buying the silence of the media in the West and conditioning governments, there would be no questioning.
But what was carried
out by the IDF is so unjustifiable and humanly repudiatory that international
political pressure is very difficult to handle for the Zionist lobbies that
have influence over the media in the West, including within the US Congress.
This irrationality has even caused the death of several hostages, and this has
exceeded the patience of the Israelis, who can take no more.
This has undoubtedly
encouraged Tel Aviv to offer a ceasefire plan. At the same time, the United
Nations has made an urgent appeal to address the issue of a Palestinian state.
It was in this context that UN Secretary General Antonio Guterrez announced
that the Palestinians have the right to a state of their own, an announcement
that fell like a stalactite shower not only on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin
Netanyahu and his “kosher” supporters on the Jewish ultra-right but also on
Zionist militants and pro-Israeli supporters around the globe.
Another impact that
Israel undoubtedly felt is that the Palestinians are not alone in the struggle
and this is something that “Hesbollah” from Lebanon and “Ansar Allah” from
Yemen and the Iraqis have brought home to them.
As was to be expected,
the claims and accusations came in an attempt to explain this
strategic-political catastrophe and, of course, Washington pointed the finger
at Iran as the alleged backer of “Hamas”, a simplistic conclusion devoid of
evidence that we have heard before and which is followed to the letter by all
the obsequious governments in the hemisphere and fed with false reports by the
Zionists who operate from the media and the intelligentsia in each of these
countries.
Another US failure lies
in the failed attempt to intimidate the Yemenis into stopping their actions
against ships transporting goods to Israeli ports. Not only do the bombings
fail to intimidate the “Huties”, but the disinformation used to manipulate
global public opinion is not convincing. The captains of ships of various
nationalities who cross the Red Sea without being harassed know this all too
well.
In addition to all this
and Israel's unsustainability in its veiled plan to exterminate the Palestinian
population of the Gaza Strip, both Washington and Brussels have dramatically
changed their position by suggesting to a Netanyahu committed to Zionist
extremism the need to recognise the Palestinians as a state. Will he pay the
political costs for the war crimes and crimes against humanity they are proven
to be committing?
For the time being, South
Africa's presentations, joined in South America by Brazil, Chile, Bolivia and
Venezuela, do not contain the ambiguity and shades of grey with which other
states tend to express themselves. The case of Argentina is emblematic in this
respect, and although today the existence of an openly Zionist government in
Buenos Aires should put state policy on a predictable and lasting track.
Equally and beyond
this, the possibility of an Arab-Palestinian state has never been closer.
