  • The historical tradition of the Palestinian Resistance: The invincible national character
    The invincible national character of Palestinian resistance (Illustrated by Batoul Chamas; Al Mayadeen English)

A few days ago, the Zionist regime launched a new aggression against Palestinians in the West Bank. During the battles in Jenin and Tulkarm, Palestinian Resistance fighters bravely defended their native land, their homes, and their families. Every day, they carry out heroic operations against enemy forces.

As in September 2000, when the Second Intifada began, the West Bank again became the center of confrontation. This land, with a history marked with great and dramatic events, was once again invaded by Zionist armored vehicles. The spark of popular resistance has flared into a bright flame, as Palestinian forces fight back against the occupiers with weapons in hand.

Exactly 86 years ago, in September 1938, there were also battles in these areas. At the time, Palestinian guerrillas under the command of Abd al-Rahim al-Hajj Muhammad fought against the British colonialists in Nablus, Tulkarm, and Jenin. This was during the Arab Revolt in Palestine when the Indigenous people rose in their struggle for their freedom against the imperialists and Zionist settlers, who were supported by Britain.

It is not by chance that I mention these historical events. They show us the continuity of generations of Palestinian fighters and their willingness to fight for their independence and the security of their homeland. But there is another important point that I want to discuss in more detail.

The Israeli occupation army invaded the Gaza Strip with a massive force of tanks, armored vehicles, and aircraft – the very military equipment that the Zionists have proudly boasted about for years. But what did we see in the future?

The fighters of the Palestinian Resistance factions fought back in response to enemy aggression. Videos of Israeli armored vehicles turning into burning metal after being hit by hand grenade launchers on the streets of Palestinian cities have spread all over the world. The Zionist regime suffered heavy losses and suffered significant military defeats in Gaza and Khan Younis.

The Palestinians have demonstrated to everyone that it is people, not just military equipment, who achieve victories. They met the advancing enemy with a hail of lead and bullets, forcing him to retreat in many places.

Today, Palestinian warriors show bravery just like their courageous ancestors. This is not only a succession of generations of Resistance fighters. This is the national character of the Palestinian people, ready to fight for his freedom.

On the edge of the abyss: A story of displacement, survival from massacre

Witnessing the active resistance against the Zionist invasion in the north of the West Bank, we can once again see the manifestation of the will to win and the freedom-loving national character of the Palestinian people.

They are defending their homes because "Israel" is trying to destroy them by bombing and dropping tons of bombs and rockets on civilian areas.

They are defending their land, from Gaza to the West Bank, because "Israel" is trying to occupy it in order to create illegal Zionist settlements in its place.

They are fighting for the freedom and independence of their homeland, the sovereign State of Palestine, in difficult conditions when the Western-sponsored Zionist regime is committing genocide against the Palestinian people.

This is truly an example of indomitable and invincible resistance.

History shows us that it is through active resistance that nations are victorious over the occupiers. When Nazi Germany launched its aggression against the USSR in 1941, the Red Army and Soviet partisans stood shoulder to shoulder in defense of the Motherland. The heroic struggle ended with the complete defeat of the Nazi occupiers and led to a Great Victory in May 1945.

Similarly, when the United States invaded Vietnam, it was the determined resistance of the Vietnamese guerrillas that enabled the country to preserve its independence and ultimately defeat the American aggressors.

That is why, from a historical perspective, the Palestinian’s armed Resistance against the Zionist regime is a struggle. The central battle in the 21st century within the framework of the international anti-colonial struggle is taking place in Palestine. This national resistance against Zionist settler colonialism and Western imperialism is of immense global scale for the creation of a more equitable and just world order.

I have listed several key milestones in history: the uprising against British colonialists in Palestine in the 1930s, the Second Intifada, and resistance against "Israeli" aggression in the West Bank and Gaza Strip in 2023-2024.

This is a chronologically clear illustration of the outstanding and long history of the Palestinian struggle. And the true strength of this struggle lies in the character, ideals, and unwavering will of the Palestinian people. It is an inextinguishable source of inspiration for millions around the world.
