Palestinian Resilience Against Fascism and Global Responsibility

The Palestinian people are facing an unprecedentedly dangerous phase, with the Zionist system escalating its practices beyond racism, occupation, and apartheid to fascism in an effort to salvage its colonial project. Despite a year of a one-sided "ceasefire" in Gaza, Israeli forces continue daily bombings, including attacks on hospitals like the recent incident at Nasser Hospital. This is occurring amidst a severe blockade that exacerbates the suffering of Gazans, with Israel preventing the entry of essential supplies like medical equipment, engine oil, and water purification devices. The article asserts that these actions aim to force over two million Palestinians to leave Gaza, constituting ethnic cleansing and an ongoing war of extermination. The author notes that increased Palestinian steadfastness is met with intensified destruction and blockade.

In the West Bank, the situation is equally dire, characterized by continuous incursions by the occupation army, arbitrary arrests, systematic seizure of land in the West Bank and Jerusalem, and the destruction of homes and facilities. Over 1,300 military checkpoints have turned Palestinian cities and villages into fragmented prisons, making movement a torturous ordeal. Thousands of Palestinian prisoners are reportedly subjected to severe torture. This is compounded by settler terrorism, allegedly funded and armed by the Israeli government, with ministers Smotrich and Ben-Gvir, Prime Minister Netanyahu, and the army providing protection and support. These attacks, numbering around 30 daily, aim to displace Palestinians and replicate the ethnic cleansing of 1948, destroying property, security, and essential services, and crippling the agricultural sector.

The article criticizes the international community's response, particularly the repeated mention of the "two-state solution" and condemnatory statements, which Israel allegedly ignores. It argues that global silence has emboldened Israel to commit further aggressions against other nations, including Syria, Lebanon, Iran, and Arab Gulf states, and to conspire against Egypt and Sudan's water and economic security.

The author calls for significant action from Arab and Islamic nations, including comprehensive boycotts and sanctions against Israel until it halts its attacks, cancels normalization agreements, and supports Palestinian steadfastness economically, educationally, and health-wise. European countries and the EU are urged to cease all military, intelligence, and arms cooperation with Israel, cancel the economic partnership agreement due to Israel's human rights violations, and end scientific and technological cooperation programs that fund weapons development. The article also suggests that Russia and China should review their economic relations with Israel, and that the Palestinian struggle should strategize to address India's military cooperation with Israel, from which 24% of weapons used in the "war of extermination" originated.

Ultimately, the article posits that Palestinian victory hinges on the steadfastness of the Palestinian people and the intensification of solidarity movements, sanctions, and boycotts against the "settler-colonial system," drawing a parallel to the fall of apartheid in South Africa.
