Israel’s very creation had one objective: Delete the word “Palestine” from the dictionaries and the maps.
For now, Israel has two objectives:
- Ethnically cleanse Gaza, the West Bank, and East Jerusalem by killing or evicting the Palestinians who live there; and
- Retrieve its Hamas-held captives, if at all possible, which is not the priority. The ethnic cleansing objective above takes precedence and Israel will let its prisoners die if need be. Every day dead Israeli captives are found dead in the tunnels or are shot dead by their own demented desperate Israeli rescuers while surrendering.
The “destroy Hamas” objective is not a serious one because it is unachievable. But it serves as a pretext for the carnage visited by Israel on the Palestinians.
The Hamas attack of October 7 is manna from heaven to the Zionists. It is the perfect pretext to proceed with a plan drawn back in the 1920s: To EVICT ALL THE PALESTINIANS and STEAL ALL OF PALESTINE. Ever since its creation, Israel has been executing it in slow, gradual installments to build immunity against international public opinion. At every installment of the plan, Israel finds or creates a pretext it can sell to those who raise questions. A mere look at the trajectory of Zionist behavior over the past century, and you can tell where all the barbarity is going. Wasn’t it Golda Meir who said long time ago “there is no such thing as a Palestinian people”?
BY DEFNITION, Palestinians Must be Terrorists and Zionists Must be Victims.
The PLO and Arafat were labeled terrorists in the 1970s and 1980s. Theirs was a secular, not Islamic, Palestinian resistance. It was only under duress and pressure that Israel was forced to recognize Arafat and the PLO during the 1990s. It pretended to make peace with Palestine in the Oslo Accords, but then went on violating them with settlements, killings, theft of land, more displacement and dehumanization of the Palestinian people and the Judaization of Palestine and Jerusalem. Only an idiot, like the average dumb American, would accept as genuine Israel’s pretense for peace.
Israel has now found in the Hamas attacks the golden pretext for another installment in its rape of historic Palestine. It immediately began implementing its plan on October 7, not a day later, as if it was impatiently waiting for it. By forcibly displacing all Gaza’s Palestinians to the southern border with Egypt, the field is ready to expel them into Egypt’s Sinai and get rid of them.
Any concession made by Israel on humanitarian aid is being forcibly extracted from it by the international community. But deep down, Israel is intent on starving the Palestinians of Gaza, denying them medical care and housing and mass murdering them. All indications that it is trying to cull the Palestinian population down to an easier to manage massive displacement into the Sinai.
Netanyahu said it on October 7: The map of the region will be modified forever, and he knows what he is talking about: Plans have been drawn long ago and only the pretext was missing. The Jewish terrorists of the Israeli army-settler coalition are already planning settlements and beach resorts along the Gaza coastline.
The only minor obstacle standing between Israel and its completion of this installment are the Israeli captives held by Hamas. As long as the Palestinians hold the prisoners, Israel will keep postponing its planned ethnic cleansing for domestic concerns. Netanyahu is doomed, so by prolonging the macabre show in Gaza, he believes he can survive. And as long as he holds any hope that he might be able to retrieve the captives, he will not deal the final death blow. The Israeli captives are the only card left in the hands of the Palestinians.
To the Palestinians
DO NOT AGREE TO ANY TRUCE or CEASEFIRE, and most importantly DO NOT RELEASE ANY MORE ISRAELI PRISONERS, even at the risk of the annihilation of the entire population of Gaza. The Israeli colonizers must understand that your willpower is stronger than theirs. The moment the last prisoner is released, Israel will pounce on Gaza, the West Bank and East Jerusalem with renewed savagery, and kill and evict your people into the Sinai and Jordan.
The only, but highly unlikely, alternative might be in a major and serious ground intervention by the international community, through something like a joint Arab-Western force or a UN force along all the borders between Israel and Palestine. Only this might deny Israel the possibility of acting on its ultimate plan. But this requires a lacking international will to stand up to barbarity and bring an end to the Zionist charade. If the international community really wants to avoid the complete annihilation of the Palestinian people and the disappearance of Palestine, it must issue a unilateral declaration establishing a sovereign independent Palestinian state over Gaza, the West Bank and East Jerusalem, and dispatch a force through Lebanon, Jordan and Egypt to protect the Palestinian people, even at the risk of conflict with Israel.
Your mistake is the same as Israel’s. Violence is never the answer. Your bet to erase Israel from the map with a few rockets and a destitute population is stupid. It took Saladin and other Arab Muslim armies up to 300 years to dislodge the Crusaders completely from the Levant. But during those centuries, it also took savvy diplomacy, initial acceptance of the European colonization and establishment of the Latin Kingdom, and peace agreements until such opportune time as to allow a final assault. Israel is no different. Had you accepted the 1947 partition, Israel would be a little patch of harmless Jewish ultra-religiosity rather than the aggressive expansionist colony that played the victim for 75 years and attracted enormous sympathy. Do not keep playing the same losing game of rejecting Israel no matter what. Accept it, let it accept you, let the international community recognize your efforts, strengthen your people with decent governance and development, and defer liberation to future, more capable generations of Palestinians supported across the world. Just as Israel has been biding its time with slow, gradual and small encroachments every other decade, bide your time, grow, develop and wait for conditions to become conducive to victory.
If Israel’s barbarity against Gaza and the West Bank can be stopped right now by any other manner than releasing the prisoners, you should take that route, but do not release the captives. A release of the captives would be a death blow to Palestine and Palestinian resistance as a whole. You should get as many concessions as possible because you know what will happen once the last captive is released: A massive onslaught by Israel against the remaining Palestinians everywhere in Palestine, in Gaza, the West Bank, Jerusalem AND even those Palestinians who stayed in Israel after 1948. The dream of a pure supremacist Jewish Israel free of Christians and Muslims has never been closer at hand for the Zionists. They will not wait another 75 years.
Of course, by not releasing the Israeli captives, you will prolong the stalemate and Israel’s savagery on the short term. But the benefit of prolonging the stalemate is to boost the sympathy you are garnering around the world and further alienate Israel. Play the victim. Steal the victim’s role from the Zionists. Israel has played the victim for 75 years and you can see it in the sympathy it has among dumb Americans like Biden and his evangelicals.
Ultimately, it is better to die in dignity for one’s country than end up again as refugees. If Israel does execute its plan, history will remember Israel as a murderous genocidal people like their progenitors, the Nazis. History is replete with examples of states or cities that preferred to commit mass suicide (e.g. Sidon and the Persian invader Artaxerxes) rather than surrender to their occupier. History will remember the violent aggressor, not its victim, as responsible for the slaughter and that is a heavy price to carry in the future. We used to blame the raped woman, the victim, for the rape; we now know better who to blame. Israel is NOT the victim of the rape of Palestine; Israel is the rapist, regardless of how the raped victim chooses to respond. Palestine has been raped for 100 years. Time to understand why the victim may respond with violence.
Fight smart, not strong. According to Sun Tzu, you must study your enemy closely, take into account the circumstances before you attack, not overextend and exhaust yourself, and even throw ‘honor’ out of the window by using tricks and diversions to win, if necessary, not for glory or fame, but for effectiveness and victory. So far, the Palestinians have fought with honor, testosterone, inane left-wing ideologies, and lately with stupid ultra-religious fervor. All have failed. Time to change tactics by fighting only with unqualified no-label patriotism and by applying Israel’s tactics: deception, treachery and lies, while projecting an image of victim over a veneer of hypocritical civility and decency. Israel has maximized its exploitation of the guilt of the West by sticking the “antisemitic” label onto anyone who dissents from the Zionist narrative, just like the Nazis stuck the Star of David on those it wanted to cancel. In doing so, the Zionists have blackmailed the world, the Holocaust-perpetrating West in particular, into submission.
Finally, not one western country that is threatening to punish the Jewish settlers with “harsh” visa denials dares call them terrorists: they are simply “extremists”. Why? Because God forbid any Jew be called a terrorist even if he is behaving like one. Isn’t “terrorism” a more appropriate label for what these primitive ultra-religious torah-thumping monsters are doing to innocent Palestinian villagers in the West Bank under orders from God?
