Yousef AbudayyehHave you ever noticed that almost nothing the Palestinians and their resistance factions do is acceptable by the Palestine solidarity groups and Peace and Justice movements in the West?
Here are some of what some of this solidarity and anti war, peace organizations keep saying so they can get out of supporting the Palestinian struggle:
The Palestinian cause is very complicated.
The Palestinians should abandon armed struggle.
The Palestinians are asking “Israel” to give up too much.
The Arabs are the reason why “Israel” occupied Palestine, of course Palestine according to them is the West Bank and the Gaza Strip.
And there are many more sayings that you all are familiar with.
I do not think that the Palestinian question and struggle for liberation and Return is actually that complicated.
Let me draw this picture for you ….I will use only black ink on white paper, so please use any color and or shade you like to color this picture. Anything you do to make you understand the picture is for sure much appreciated.
The region, the Arab World, is one of the oldest known to humans. Many civilizations took hold there. The three religions that proclaimed God a supreme being started there. This region is now called the Middle East because the Empire a couple of centuries back decided that by splitting brothers and sisters and giving them fake controls, Empire can reign and do what they want with the land, its resources and its people. To make sure its control will last, the Empire decided to implant a foreign mole made up of European collections of people in the heart of the Arab World. It thought that the best way to make sure this mole survives and maybe, in the future expands, like a cancerous cell, is by uprooting the indigenous people who lived there continuously for thousands of years.
They said, "we’ll give this land that has no people to the people who have no land."
Are you following the lines I am drawing in this picture? Empire wants to give Palestine to some Europeans, who obviously have a land, and take it from the Palestinians, who obviously lived on this land for hundreds of centuries.
