Palestine: From Jenin to Al-Quds… to the collapse of Israeli occupation concepts

  • Palestine: From Jenin to Al-Quds… to the collapse of Israeli occupation concepts

The path from Jenin to Al-Quds depicts scenes of spilled blood, tough sacrifices, and fiery tears of Palestinian mothers, although they always know how to turn their mourning, grief, and anguish of loss into a show of challenge, steadfastness, and resistance, which bears the highest degrees of resolve as part of their daily resistance. 

The fact that the confrontation is bloody should not cast a shadow over the psychological factor in the ongoing struggle with the Zionist occupation. Over decades, the global Zionist movement has promoted the propaganda of Israeli arrogance at all levels in order to close in on Palestine and try to "domesticate" the Palestinian people and weaken their resolve so as to look away from liberating Palestine and realizing their independence.

All this began to gradually fade from the first Palestinian Intifada, which broke out in December 1987 all the way through the Second Intifada in 2000 and Operation Seif Al-Quds in May 2021. However, what draws attention is “Israel’s” pursuit of violence and the lack of intelligence within its apparatuses.

All that Israeli occupation forces do is kill violently and instantly, ignoring the medium- and long-term along which comes Palestinian action at the social, political, economic, and psychological levels. They show off the high status of their research centers, analyses, and intelligence (the "Jewish mindset"), and accordingly, break into the global markets with their technological products while committing the most heinous massacres against the Palestinian people using the same "technology" they flaunt.

All the technological outputs and products of Israeli companies are employed to consolidate the oppression against the Palestinian people, from military vehicles to artificial intelligence programs on every corner. Despite their "programs and schemes,” they act under their sense of criminal fascism without taking the repercussions into consideration, which contradicts what they promote as part of their ongoing psychological warfare. The reason is that they think that the return of the murderous criminals from Jenin to their illegal residences in western occupied Palestine and providing them with protection at their doors would allow them to sleep safely.

They also believe that "security coordination" (of "Daytonian" training and Zionist-American funding) with one of the wings of the Palestinian Authority will guarantee their safety. They even went as far as thinking that if the Palestinian security forces are "paralyzed" and removed from the popular struggle, they will live in peace over the dead bodies of Palestinians. So what is going on in "their minds"?

It goes without saying that statistics provide us with numbers and ratios; sociology provides us with patterns of behavior; and psychology provides us with conscious and subconscious motives for human behavior. Haven’t all their scientific institutions conducted surveys and research to understand the Palestinian psyche?

The percentage of Palestinians who actually collaborate with them (despite all the inducements of weapons, money, briberies, and treason) does not exceed 1% of the Palestinian people, the latter being overwhelmingly rebellious and enjoying endless determination. All the arrogance of the occupation coupled with scientific superiority is not applicable on the ground. All their actions indicate an absolute ignorance of the essence of the people they occupy by all means possible.

The orchestrators of security strategies and invincible military systems have turned into hollow rhetoric when compared with Palestinian determination and perseverance. They have a military establishment (supposedly of international quality standards), and despite that, all the Israeli occupation intelligence, its enormous budget, scientific "knowledge" (which they claim to exist), and high-end technology to control Palestinians fall at the feet of any Palestinian youth whose heart and soul are filled with anguish and anger, armed by his determination and an overwhelming sense of injustice and oppression and the need to fulfill his duty of resistance, with very low technology and budget; a handgun.

The continuous scientific observation of the formation of a Palestinian individual's psyche and his ethical system proves over and over again that despite the Israeli occupation's criminality and the oppression stemming from the security coordination between the PA and "Tel Aviv", the ardent Palestinian spirit refuses to kneel, propelling itself into the sky to act as a beacon of freedom! The Israeli occupation never learned anything about the Palestinian people and did not leave behind any of its fascism of sowing settler colonialism since the height of the Nakba in 1948 on the ruins of a people enhancing their resistance on every front and refusing to sow foreign seedlings in their green fields irrigated by the blood of Palestinian martyrs.
