Without any precise, objective, and truthful inventory of the one hundred days of the Zionist genocidal aggression against the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip, it can only conclude with a fundamental summary stating that what was before October 7, 2023, is not the same as what followed; nothing will remain from what was in place prior to the outbreak of the ‘Al-Aqsa Flood,’ marked by brave resistance and human nobility, in the face of the barbaric Zionist-European-American aggression, whose final phase is claimed to be a reaction to the Al-Aqsa Flood, carried on ‘Iron Swords’ heated by the fires of savage racism, primal capitalist greed, and arrogance provoked by the stupidity of power. However, everything that existed before the outbreak of the duality of the resistant flood and the savage aggression will radically change to systematically and intentionally align with all that has formed over the months following the outbreak of the Zionist-American aggression and the escalation of the valiant Palestinian resistance, which has no option but to confront and thwart this aggression and to work diligently towards a definitive cessation of it.
The rising Palestinian resistance, which inflicts the harshest losses on the Zionist enemy and teaches it the toughest lessons, reveals the truth that defeat and withdrawal from the Gaza Strip, and subsequently from all of Palestine, is the only option for the Israeli army. There is no escape from the imminent arrival of a moment when the Zionist aggression will cease, a moment unaccompanied by any form of victory that could allow the funded and costed Israeli aggressor army, supported by the United States and the savage European capitalist West, to claim it for itself or that the great savage ‘America’ seized it for them at the mouths of the Zionist-American extermination pyres erected in the resistant Palestinian Gaza Strip with the intent of completely destroying it and exterminating its original inhabitants, the builders of its civilization, and its steadfast inhabitants, the Palestinians, through deliberate, planned, and immediate genocide, in the context of war crimes and crimes against humanity that have continued over the course of one hundred days of genocide and are still ongoing, escalating to recover all that preceded them in total civilizational destruction, genocides, and ethnic cleansing, which the Western European Zionist terrorist gangs and their criminal creation ‘Israel’ have continued to commit for over a century throughout all of Palestine, which was intended for extermination through its Judaization, renaming, and falsification of its identity, to be falsely, deceitfully, and savagely called ‘Israel,’ which was proclaimed in mid-May 1948 over the ruins of Palestine, the wreckage of its civilizational landmarks, and the ruins of the homes of its original inhabitants, the builders of its civilization, and the givers of its name and cultural national identity: the Palestinians!
The ongoing radical change is forming the pillars of its components in the context of the Israeli extermination war and its Zionist Nazi pyres that target the entire Palestinian population without the slightest individual or collective discrimination, on the one hand, and in the beacons of brave Palestinian human resistance on the other hand, moving at various and diverse levels; any component of these components can be characterized fundamentally and decisively with the bright Palestinian truth and the steadfast Palestinian right as essential foundations for everything that will be announced, clearly and without the slightest political evasion, with the emergence of the required moment of ‘ceasefire,’ as well as everything that will be reiterated by the world’s humanitarians from individuals, groups, entities, institutions, and countries, as long as any serious regional and international efforts persist to achieve political solutions that, this time for the first time in the history of the Palestinian-Zionist-American conflict, are efforts with known timelines and political and legal goals that are not subject to negotiation, compromise, or diminishment, as they are goals as clear as the Palestinian right, international law, humanitarian international law, human rights law, and hundreds of decisive and mandatory international resolutions regarding this conflict, which have formed a comprehensive system commonly referred to as ‘international legitimacy’ concerning Palestine.
I believe that the essential components related to clarifying the nature, essence, and rational and humane possible outcomes of the Palestinian-Western Zionist-American conflict, which are currently being unveiled or having the rubble of deception and historical and civilizational distortion cast by American Zionism and its creation Israel removed from the faces of life and people, will rise as essential Palestinian truths rooted in humanity, life, history, and civilization, all emerging from the depths of Palestine: land, people, and horizons of existence, to continue to rise and move dynamically and effectively throughout the existential, life, and civilizational times of Palestine that will come, characterized by essential features aligning, on the one hand, with the truth of Palestine, its civilization and culture, and the right of its people to freedom, human dignity, and self-determination in the realm of their vital, existential living space, which is the land of their eternal homeland, called since the moment of the emergence of its civilization and history by its eternal name: ‘Palestine.’ Likewise, this is consistent with the bravery of Palestinian resistance and the nobility of its existential message and supreme humanity, as Palestine will then emerge from its past and future in a simultaneous moment negating the existence of the Zionist occupation, standing tall, adorned with freedom, human dignity, historical civilizational worthiness, and human pride, not merely as a center of essential human civilization around which all human civilizations revolve, but as an everlasting cosmic civilizational symbol that illuminates the essence of the sublime humanity that was born from the womb of ‘Palestine,’ and grew and thrived within it, manifesting principles, values, heavenly religions, and cohesive and compelling human life and civilizational existence, thus making it the pearl of the crown of the earth and the essence of the identity of every human being.
Thus, the year 2024 should not be anything but a year for all essential humanity, for it can no longer, as its first faltering breaths emerge from the ashes of the ‘Zionist Holocaust,’ the counterpart of the Nazi ‘Holocaust’ which the savage terrorist Israel has erected throughout the Palestinian ‘Gaza Strip,’ transformed into a ‘Zionist concentration and extermination camp’ by the suffocating Israeli siege deeply immersed in savagery and time, be anything but a humanitarian year that, in its essential truth, is a year of truth; a year of the true Palestine; a year of right, freedom, human dignity, justice, and peace; a year for the liberation of Palestine and its return to its Palestinian people and their triumphant return to it; a year of the steadfast, resilient, and persevering Palestinian people rising from the ashes of all colonial Zionist-American pyres that targeted them and their homeland Palestine with genocide over a span exceeding one hundred years, while preparing to rise again and continuously from the ashes of the ongoing Zionist racist holocaust, its hellish flames now raging in Gaza, the West Bank, and Jerusalem: a united Palestinian people, cohesive in its components and structure, strong and capable, infused with reason, sentiment, and will with a forward-looking Palestinian national vision that is comprehensive, integrated, foundational, and endowed with strategic dimensions and civilizational features based on the noblest values and humanitarian principles.”
