The Palestinian Resistance's revolutionary determination grows more fervent with Israeli violation of what the resistance takes to be dear: their nation, their land, and their sanctities.

Peace will come when the Arabs will love their children more than they hate us

- Former Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir.

We will liberate every inch [of Palestine] even if on every inch there lied a martyr

- Late President of the United Arab Republic Gamal Abdul Nasser 

Disproportionality is characteristic of every liberation movement fighting colonialism. Disproportionate military capacity in favor of the colonizer, and consequently disproportionate casualties against that of the indigenous nation. 

The sharply <1 kill-death ratio (colonizers killed/ indigenous dead) was often capitalized on by the pacifists condemning armed struggle and promoting defeatism. 

In the case of Palestine, almost every round of confrontation against the Israeli occupation had a kill-death ratio favoring "Israel". However, this didn't deter the Palestinian resistance from persevering. 

Despite the massive casualties and little resources, the resistance persevered, and it was this perseverance that yielded the current victories being consolidated.

Certainty of ultimate liberation from colonialism despite disproportionate military capacity isn't just a romantic prospect but traces its roots to materialism. Colonialism, as a military occupation fostering a settler society leeching off an indigenous nation and its resources, is a manifestation of imperialism. Imperialism, as an advanced stage of capitalism, proliferates through the accumulation of profits. 

Operation Al-Aqsa Flood is now marked as a colossal Israeli intelligence failure, leaving the occupation in disarray.#Palestine #Gaza pic.twitter.com/wTIypJt9Pr

The colonizer fights according to a cost-benefit calculus. Once the colonizer can no longer yield benefits for imperialist oligarchs, the raison d'etre of the colonial enterprise is undermined.

The resistance, however, doesn't fight according to an arbitrary cost-benefit calculus, but rather in accordance with ideological revolutionary determination.

This revolutionary determination grows more fervent with Israeli violation of what the resistance takes to be dear: their nation, their land, and their sanctities. 

This revolutionary determination output through armed struggle makes life exceedingly difficult for Israelis and more costly than comfortable for their colonialist enterprise, thus paving the way for liberation.
