The understanding of the rights and catastrophe of the Palestinian people at all levels in countries and international organizations has awakened as never before.

  • Palestine is the future
    the moral and spiritual strength of the Palestinian people has already shown humanity that they rise above all cultures on the planet (Illustrated by Hady Dbouk; Al Mayadeen English)

The global reaction from political and social movements, as well as the general population, has not been delayed in response to the horror of Israeli Zionist evil against the defenseless Palestinian people. Demonstrations have been expressed at various levels, such as unions and syndicates, parliamentarians, political parties, and international officials, among many others. The massive popular demonstrations have pressured many governments to adopt behaviors condemning Israeli aggression. In other cases, courageous presidents, prime ministers, and chancellors have bravely dared to defy the political-economic power of Zionism. After all, the enemy and its accomplices are the most powerful financial, economic, political, communicational, and military forces in the world.

The understanding of the rights and catastrophe of the Palestinian people at all levels in countries and international organizations has awakened like never before. The commitment and support of political movements and militias from Lebanon, Yemen, Iraq, and Syria have been fundamental in striking the Israeli army. Iran has been key in its support for Hezbollah, Ansar Allah, and Hamas itself. This has cost them many martyrs, including Mohammad Reza Zahedi, a member of Iran's Islamic Revolution Guard Corps killed by "Israel" on April 1.

The courageous reactions of officials from UNRWA, UNICEF, and the whole range of UN agencies have been damning for "Israel", and just to name the most recent one, Francesca Albanese's brave report has put new pressure on the inaction of UN member countries, mainly those most influential on the international stage.

Presentations to the International Criminal Court and the International Court of Justice will undoubtedly generate historical effects, as we are already seeing, compelling "Israel" to comply with its resolutions, as it should be with the case of the last resolution of the United Nations Security Council.

Although it is a debatable solution and very difficult to implement, different states around the world are urging the establishment of the Palestinian State in search of peace in the region. Palestine from the river to the sea is for some a cry of romanticism, while for other activists, including increasingly prominent anti-Zionist Jewish intellectuals, it is an undeniable requirement for the restoration of the rights of the Palestinian people and is gaining strength in the Left and the progressive world. This, of course, has clear differences with the "two-state solution", coveted by the Palestinian oligarchy through the Palestinian Authority, in collusion with the Arab monarchic disgraceful regimes and with Western powers seeking to undermine legitimate Palestinian demands, aiming to install only symbolically and with very limited autonomy an unviable Palestinian state.

Nevertheless, that is outside the objectives of the illegitimate Israeli "state", which continues to seek to expel as many Palestinians as possible and occupy their land fully, in addition to South Lebanon, including the water resources of the Litani River and the aquifers of the Golan Heights.

The one-state solution and the dismantling of the apartheid system undoubtedly require much more time and objective conditions, as well as the development of a consciousness of peaceful coexistence with justice that will take years to instill. However, it is the unique definitive solution. A single secular, democratic state for Muslims, Christians, and Jews to coexist peacefully. It will also be essential for the reorganization and reunification of the Palestinian leadership, with a change in the balance of political forces, allowing the people to vote again to choose their authorities from the entire political spectrum but, such will must be respected by the power-holders, unlike what happened in January 2006, when the Palestinian Authority thwarted that historic opportunity for the Palestinian people, instead responding to hegemonic interests and the demeaning ambitions of enrichment inherent to the oligarchy and its economic networks. This, unfortunately, has been a reality in all liberation struggles around the world.

In the immediate term, the isolation and criminal stigma of violation of all international norms by Israeli terrorism and its government, savage settlers, and Israeli settler society itself, are being sealed with its own fire. The pain in the souls over women and children killed by the Zionist indescribable inhumanity will never heal.

Despite that, the leadership of Hamas has proven to be of exceptional intelligence in both military and politics, further highlighting the baseness of the Palestinian Authority, the treacherous monarchies, and the Egyptian dictator. But along with this, Hamas has put on the table a strategic political proposal for the Middle East, which must be carefully read by all those involved in the region.

At the international level, the trend has been to delegitimize "Israel", strengthen the need to restore the rights of Palestinians, and establish condemnation and sanctions against "Israel", demanding measures that will be defined in favor of Palestine over the course of the months.

Meanwhile, the catastrophe or Nakba continues its course, but the moral and spiritual strength of the Palestinian people has already shown humanity that they rise above all cultures on the planet and invites them to follow in their footsteps. Every grain of sand in support of the Palestinian people adds to the purpose of freedom for Palestine from the river to the sea, just as it does for all the oppressed people across the world wherever they may be. Palestine is the future.
