The Palestinian context will rule the region, so be patient
Written by Nasser Kandil,
Those who expect that the confrontation ignited by the Palestinian people is meaningless and that the generous sacrifices are for free do not pay attention to the spiritual fact illustrated in the past two days that America and Israel are worried despite the Arab humiliated mobilization support, and that the complicated issues dominate on the entire region, while the Palestinian people are mobilizing as if they are on the first day of confrontation not in its seventieth year.
The radical deviation of the American administration was planned for a long time, but it was conditioned for the moment of the American-Israeli-Gulf victory in Lebanon, Syria, Yemen, Iraq, and Iran in a lost dismantled situation where the promoting for the deal of the century is the best possible. But the resorting to it was after the despair from changing the equations and in order to reveal the hidden, therefore there is no way for negotiation and the opportunities of compromises. And thus, despite the apparent tyranny and oppression, the Arabs of America who seek to protect their threatened thrones are brought to announce their loyalty to Israel. Practically this means the fall of the negotiation option which disabled the resistance choice for decades due to the illusion of the supposed compromise which is no longer available today. So after the fall of the negotiation option Palestine returns to the confrontation option ending what America, Israel, and Gulf thought that they are the achievements of the last decade as the sectarian fragmentation and manipulating with identity. Therefore the classification now becomes under the title of who is with Palestine and who is with Israel?
The target was the Arabs whom the rulers of the Gulf supported by America and Israel think that the attempt of turning them into sectarian ideological blocs that forget Palestine since the Arab Spring succeeded. But the scrutiny in reading the elections in Lebanon leads to a reverse result. The sectarianism which affected the Arab Sunnis ended. The symbol of extremism in Lebanon fails to reserve its personal seat after it got two years ago all the seats of Tripoli municipality, and those who left Al Mustaqbal Movement did not go to extremism but they returned to the Arab national option which allies with the resistance and Syria, from Saida represented by Osama Saad to the Western Bekaa represented by Abdul Rahim Morad to Tripoli represented by Faisal Karami and Jihad Al Samad, and to Beirut represented by the Islamic Projects Association.
Before talking about the moment of turning into confrontation and then into a full uprising of all Palestine and before talking about the joining of the armed resistance to it, the Palestinian Diaspora will be present strongly at the popular confrontation line. We will witness in Lebanon, Jordan, Syria, and Egypt Arab Islamic crowds that meet the Palestinians, and we will witness from behind the seas crowds in the sea taking the ships of return holding a sit-in the waters of Palestine facing the gas bombs along with the freemen of the world and the free media. The governmental position in numbers of European countries is a good evidence of this transformation of Palestine in the Western public option contrary to the desire of America and Israel.
Despite the American and the Gulf support Israel is afraid of launching a war on Gaza, so how if its borders with Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, and then Egypt become confronting lines where hundreds of thousands of Palestinians and non-Palestinians gather and become more ready for the confrontation day after day, so what should it do knowing that the course of war is disabled by the constant growing deterrence balances?
The Israeli-American- Gulf impasse is that the conflict in Palestine and around it will overwhelm over the region and the world and the coexistence with its entitlements means the erosion of this black triangle, and where the war means disaster, while in the resistance axis the confrontation is growing in its current form and where a war may become a reality.
This is the meaning of the words of the Secretary-General of Hezbollah Al Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah few months ago. The wars in the region have almost finished and we will return to the priority which we have never abandoned “Palestine”.
