History proves that the Palestinian people will be free.
What is occurring now in occupied Palestine – the West Bank, Jerusalem, Gaza Strip – reiterates the equation of the “dumb” political mind behind the racial and cultural status of Israel's colonial control. This equation, grounded in the idea that the “Arabs” understand only the language of force, adds that what is not understood with force will certainly be understood with yet more force.
Israel's colonial system of occupation failed to learn profound lessons of history. It inhabits a “Rambo” culture, in which it can handily defeat armies and destroy states. Its army and security services are invincible. The true problem with this culture is that Israel's entire political system is infected, and Israel's collective mind believes it is absolutely protected and secure. Out of nowhere an illusion of absolutely security is conjured up, and security is viewed as an absolute.
Yet this enormous imbalance of power has not succeeded in defeating the Palestinian will for freedom and independence. It is true that resistance is not a straight line, but it has not been halted.
The dilemma with which the Israeli colonial occupation does not wish to grapple is that here we have not a classic military balance between two armies, but a people and the occupation army. Never in history has a people desiring freedom and willing to make the necessary sacrifices did not achieve it. Just look at Syria, Egypt, Iraq, Algeria, Yemen, Libya, Vietnam, Cuba, India, China, Korea, what to mention the liberation movements in Latin America, Africa and Asia. The Palestinian people are not and will not be an exception to this history.
This is what will happen in Palestine. The Palestinian people will be free. There is no other option outside of this historical logic.
Stupidity dominates the mind and behaviour of the colonial power, which arrogantly believes that its strength is eternal. This is a pivotal and decisive force concerning the policies and practices of Israel's colonial occupation.
Yet Palestinian political forces are haunted to some extent by a culture of weakness and defeat, which encourages them to pursue options contrary to the spirit of the Palestinian people, its history and future.
Accordingly, the Palestinian national forces of all stripes must re-evaluate and re-establish their roles and strategies so that the substrate in any national strategy is the Palestinian people, their rights and resistance. Bets should not be made on international relations and negotiations. This means that the base of the Palestinian triangle must be the people and their resistance. Diplomatic relations must support this base, not be its substitute.
Now is a historic moment, appropriate for the return of the Palestinian national movement's strategic repositioning within the Arab and global alliance, which is based in Syria, Yemen and Iraq to destroy the American hegemony and liquidate the reactionary oil culture and policies. We must move in harmony with the rhythm of the Palestinian people. This is the sole possible response to the occupation, which did not stop for one minute with its killings, detentions and destruction and its refusal to recognise any of the rights of the Palestinian people.

A RIOT has reportedly broken out on the main street of Bethlehem city, as Palestinians protest the killing of 13-year-old schoolboy Abdul Rahman Obeidallah by Israeli snipers, in Aida refugee camp.
Hundreds of angry protesters chanting “Allah Akhbar”, a traditional cry against injustice, blocked the road towards Rachel’s tomb after the boy, who was around 5ft 4″ tall, was shot by Israeli snipers whilst still wearing his school uniform. As the demonstration arrived near the 300 Israeli military checkpoint annexed to the wall north of Bethlehem, IOF immediately fired teargas and sound grenades to repress it. However, intense clashes are still continuing inside the camp. |
Photographs from the scene show him being carried away from the violence still wearing his school uniform and backpack.
Another schoolboy was wounded in the shooting, still in surgery at the Beit Jala hospital. He was shot during a second day of violence at Aida refugee camp, in Bethlehem in the West Bank.
Another schoolboy was reportedly shot in the head. Still to be identified, he is currently undergoing emergency surgery at the government run hospital in Beit Jala, around 1km away.
The pair were rushed to the hospital around 1.45 pm but Abdul-Rahman was pronounced dead shortly afterwards.
One witness, who accompanied the casualty to hospital, said shortly before the news of the boy’s death was known: ” I was walking back to my home in the camp when it happened. They got hit by real bullets, live ammunition.
“Their family is here, there are a lot of people. It’s just tense, we’re waiting to hear.”
One local, who did not wish to be named, said: “He was doing nothing. He was just looking. He had come home from school and his mother had sent him to the shop.
“He was just standing, looking. And they shot him right here, in the chest. It opened right up, huge, and he died in the hospital. His mother and his father, they are going mad”.
Violent clashes broke out near Bethlehem, on Sunday afternoon in response to the shooting of Palestinian student Fadi Alloun (19) in Jerusalem on Saturday.

Clashes have swept across the occupied West Bank and Jerusalem as Israeli forces and settlers carried out deadly attacks against Palestinians, killing at least three youths and injuring more than 400 within two days.
In light of settlers’ flare-up of violence across the West Bank, including Jerusalem, the Palestinian Red Crescent raised the alert status across the West Bank to third degree, declaring a ‘State of Emergency.
The Palestinian Red Crescent activated its central operations room at its headquarter in al-Bireh/Ramallah as well as mobilized all volunteers and teams to provide relief to Palestinians against the backdrop of escalated recent settlers’ violence against Palestinians and their properties.
Israeli settlers late Saturday and Sunday – following two separate killing incidents of Israelis by Palestinian suspects - went on a revenge rampage, under the protection of Israeli army forces , against Palestinian civilians and their properties, leading to violent clashes across the West Bank districts, which left dozens of injuries and suffocation cases among Palestinian locals.
According to WAFA, Red Crescent said it has documented 14 Israeli settlers and forces’ assaults against its staff members within the past 72 hours across the West Bank, including Jerusalem.
It said Israeli forces attacked one of its vehicles in front of al-Quds university in Abu Dis town to the east of Jerusalem, firing rubber-coated steel bullets and tear gas canisters at it.
On October 2nd, 2015, Israeli soldiers attacked one of its ambulances in the East Jerusalem neighborhood of al-Issawiya and detained one of the injured locals who was being treated inside the ambulance.
Meanwhile in Nablus, the Red Crescent said settlers prevented paramedics from performing their humanitarian duties and smashed their ambulance's windscreen. A day later, five paramedics were beaten up by Israeli police in the Jerusalem area, while other police forces attacked two ambulances in the Old City of Jerusalem.
During the same day, Israeli army forces brutally beat up one of its ambulances’ crews in al-Bireh/Ramallah. Two paramedics were injured in the attack, while one of the injured locals, who was receiving first-aid treatment, was nabbed from inside the ambulance. Forces further fired rubber-coated bullets and tear gas canisters at the ambulance.
The Red Crescent stressed that such measures constitute a blatant violation of the resolutions of international humanitarian law, particularly the Fourth Geneva conventions relative to the protection of civilians at time of armed conflicts.
Article 63 of the Fourth Geneva conventions states, “All Contracting Parties shall endeavour to permit the transit and transport, free of charge, of such relief consignments on their way to occupied territories. Recognized National Red Cross (Red Crescent, Red Lion and Sun) Societies shall be able to pursue their activities in accordance with Red Cross principles, as defined by the International Red Cross Conferences. Other relief societies shall be permitted to continue their humanitarian activities under similar conditions.”
“The Occupying Power may not require any changes in the personnel or structure of these societies, which would prejudice the aforesaid activities.”
The Red Crescent Society called on the international community, and the High Contracting Parties to the Geneva Conventions, to shoulder their responsibilities and take the necessary measures to ensure Israel’s compliance with provisions of international humanitarian law, and to halt all Israeli attacks committed against the Palestinian people.

The Hamas Movement strongly denounced the recent decisions taken by Israeli premier Benjamin Netanyahu against the Palestinian people and described them as "racist" and "against the international law."
In press remarks on Sunday, Hamas spokesman Sami Abu Zuhri stated that Netanyahu's decrees would not succeed in breaking the Palestinian people's will and steadfastness.
Abu Zuhri stressed that Israel's escalation of its crimes against the Palestinians would make the Palestinians more determined to confront the occupation and its violations.
Recently, Netanyahu had issued a number of edicts aimed at punishing the Palestinians who defend themselves, their people and holy sites against settlers' assaults in Jerusalem and the West Bank and carry out retaliatory attacks.
The edicts gave the security and judicial authorities a free hand to demolish homes of Palestinians, exile and administratively detain them, and carry out on-site executions.

Israel may commence a “second Operation Defensive Shield” against Palestinians in both the West Bank and Jerusalem.
According to Israeli Transport Minister Yisrael Katz (Likud), following weeks of clashes and tensions in these areas.
Israel's March 2002 Operation Defensive Shield was its largest military operation in the West Bank since the 1967 Middle East war. It was during this operation that Israel reasserted military control over the entire West Bank and placed then Palestinian President Yasser Arafat under siege in his headquarters.
Minister Katz, a member of Israel's security cabinet and deputy prime minister, told the settler-affiliated Arutz 7 that the 'second Operation Defensive Shield' would include Jerusalem, and perhaps “a curfew on Jerusalem's Arab neighbourhoods and an end to the privilege of working (in Israel).”
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will hold an emergency meeting Sunday with security officials concerning “Palestinian and Islamic terrorism”, promising a “forceful response”.
Violence in the area has spiked in the past two weeks, following an increase in Israeli settler incursions in Jerusalem's al Aqsa mosque compound and Israel's de facto temporal and spatial division of the area between Muslims and Jews.
In the latest round of violence Israeli police officers shot dead a Palestinian teen near Jerusalem's Damascus gate early Sunday morning after he allegedly attempted to stab a 16-year-old Israeli boy.
The Palestinian was identified as 19-year-old Fadi Samir Mustafa Alloun from the East Jerusalem neighbourhood of Issawiya.
Alloun is the second Palestinian to be shot dead after allegedly stabbing Israelis in the Jerusalem's Old City in the past 24 hours.
Two Israelis were killed and two others injured, including a two-year-old infant, in an attack in Jerusalem's Old City carried out Saturday by a Palestinian who was subsequently shot dead, Israeli police and medics said.
Israeli police named the attacker as Mohannad Shafiq Halabi, aged 19, from a village near the West Bank city of Ramallah.
