Afrasianet - Fahmy Howeidi - Any effort to monitor the crimes committed by Israel in Gaza is no longer feasible or useful, mainly because we are in a state of complete impunity that has crossed all red lines in customary human behavior. Therefore, the question that should be asked after six months of aggression is: what crimes has Israel not committed?

It is true that the Palestinians have paid a heavy price that has completely destroyed their lives, but the consequences of the Israeli occupation's insane retaliation are not negligible, and its immediate and future effects portend ill consequences. Israeli opposition leader Yair Lapid acknowledged this last November, when he declared that Israel was no longer a moral or regional power, nor would it win the battle.

One striking testimony in this regard is the publication by the right-wing pro-Israel French newspaper Le Figaro by Renaud Girard's article "Israel's Suicidal Strategy," published on January 1, which stated: "We must have the courage to admit that this invading Zionism is suicidal for Israel and the West that supports it. The chance of accepting the strategy of forcible expulsion of descendants of the population who have lived for centuries in Palestine is very slim to Israel's neighbors near and far – a perfect recipe for eternal war. Even the United States could tire of the arrogance of the Israeli right, which denies Palestinians their right to form a nation.

Because the killing of unarmed civilians has been repeated all the time in Gaza and the West Bank, calling Hitler's crimes against Jews between 1933 and 1945 is no exaggeration, and much can be said in this regard when comparing the atrocities committed and held accountable by the Nazis with more heinous atrocities committed by the Israelis for which they were not held accountable.

Perhaps one of the strongest similarities between the two was that the Nazis followed with the Jews what they called the "Final Solution" policy, according to which Jewish communities were shot at where they were found, killing as many of them and getting rid of them forever. That is exactly what the Israelis did with the Palestinians in Gaza. After the destruction of cities and the deportation of their inhabitants, direct killing has become the fate of every gathering that appears or individuals moving within the line of sight, which is carried out by the snipers of the occupation forces. Footmen, and marches that hover in space all the time.

If the Nazis considered their Jewish citizens to be of a lower race that disrupts the purity of their Aryan race, the Israeli occupation speaks of the Palestinians as "ungodly" inferior to God's "chosen" people, insects or animals in another way.

Just as the Nazis set up concentration camps for Jews, the Israelis viewed Gaza and the West Bank as concentration camps for Palestinians. While the Nazis gave Jews a minimum of clothing and food, the Israelis went further, stripping Palestinians of their clothes and withholding them food, water, medicine and electricity.

However, in demolishing synagogues, Hitler did not resort to destroying Jewish homes or wiping out their cities, as we have seen the Israeli occupation flatten Palestinian homes and for six months destroying all aspects of construction in Gaza.

Since its founding, Israel's dependence on the United States – the world's largest country, the most powerful country, and other historical and biblical reasons – has turned Israel into a state that includes not only "God's chosen people !!!», but it is also an entity above all nations, laws and arithmetic of all times.

This is a conclusion that observers know well, but its results are present before our eyes, especially in the Gaza war, where US President Joe Biden considered himself a partner in the war, and most Western leaders flocked to Tel Aviv, expressing their solidarity and support.

This was also evident in Israel's insane in Gaza and the West Bank, as well as in its defiance of all the calls of most of the world's peoples to stop the war, as well as its contempt for Security Council resolutions and its contempt for the International Court of Justice.

In addition to the above, it is inevitable to recognize that the weakness of the Arab world, and its penetration through "normalization" with Israel, is a justification for the latter to exaggerate arrogance, excessive ambition, and expansion plans.

The impact of this atmosphere was evident almost half a century ago, specifically since 1977, when Israel entered a new political phase that revived the most extreme right-wing forces in Israel. Menachem Begin's Likud party has since taken power, and its governments have been followed by right-wing or center-right parties that practice degrees of exaggeration – and the current government is a model for this, a mixture of secular Zionism (Likud) and religious Zionism (which has many components).

All converge on three goals: the rejection of Palestinian statehood—that only the people of Israel have the exclusive right to the Land of Israel, and therefore cannot "cession"  parts of it—and that there is no Palestinian people at all. In religious Zionism, the term "Land of Israel" includes the entire region from the Nile to the Euphrates.

Over the last half-century, right-wing groups have enjoyed increasing power in Israel for ideological, security, and political reasons. This is encouraged and funded by the U.S. administration and evangelical leaders in the United States.

Despite Netanyahu's alleged disagreement with the US president, there is no doubt that generous military support for him remained one of the most important factors that contributed to prolonging the war, to enable Israel to achieve any achievement that would restore some of its consideration and to save the man face.

Thus, Israel, led by the United States and under European sponsorship, was able to commit 2,750 massacres from October 7 to the end of March, killing about 32,000 Palestinians, in addition to 7,900 under the rubble, and among the dead 14,000 children, ten thousand women, and 4,500 students.

It also destroyed 32 of the 36 hospitals. The destruction included all universities, as well as 396 schools, 200 mosques and 3 churches. To cause this destruction and devastation, Israel dropped the equivalent of two nuclear bombs on Gaza, while Washington and its allies have been opposed to the ceasefire throughout.
 
The Palestinian Spring, now in its sixth month, is the culmination of a Palestinian national march whose journey of struggle has not subsided for more than a century. Palestinian scholars have written extensively on that history.

For example, Sobhi Yassin (the poet Ibn Gaza) devoted a chapter to the Palestinian uprisings in his book: "The Great Arab Revolt in Palestine", in which he focused on the uprisings that took place between 1936 and 1939. He pointed out that the first intifada in the country was on the eighth of April 1920, punctuated by armed clashes between Palestinian national elements and the British Mandate Authority, which is complicit with the Zionist movement, which led to deaths and injuries between Arabs and Jews.

Ironically, the author of the book spoke of how the revolution was weakened when the English used their collaborating agents at home and abroad to urge them to do the job.

Among those collaborators was Nouri al-Said, Iraq's foreign minister at the time, and Nouri al-Said had a role in achieving the desired goal after his visit to Palestine, mediating it to stop the violence, appeasing Arabs and Jews, and arranging procedures for liquidating the revolution, which included the release of detainees, and a general amnesty for those accused of the revolution's incidents.. etc.

The battle of the Palestinian Spring, and the talk about its consequences, recall the experience of the Arab revolutions in 2011, as the two major events awakened in our peoples their hope to regain their right to freedom and dignity.

We are preoccupied with the consequences, most of which are still in the knowledge of the unseen in light of the continuation of the pro-American-backed fighting. In this regard, it is no secret that Israel is active in arranging the post-fighting situation, working hard to change the geography of Gaza and reshape the Arab world to suit its interests and aspirations.

On the other hand, the countries of the Arab world did not lift a finger and remained a spectator of the scene, content to issue rhetorical statements that do not advance or delay, until they practically became neutral towards what they considered their main issue throughout the past decades.

In Amin Maalouf's novel "The Crusades as Seen by the Arabs", an important note is made.

Its conclusion is that the Muslims were from the beginning achieving victories and achievements over the Crusaders, but they lacked the ability to historical accumulation, and the momentum and escalation and acceleration and waves that it generates in the face of the barbaric campaigns of the invaders.

Perhaps because of this background, some resistance thinkers were convinced that the invading Zionist wave would not be defeated or liquidated by knockout, but rather points, achievements, historical accumulation, and the unification of confrontation spaces. More importantly, the continuation of the act of resistance and the attrition of the enemy, and the ability to absorb sacrifices.

Despite the harshness of what happened in Gaza, we should not forget that it represents one of the exciting files in the Palestinian struggle and an important addition to the desired accumulation. No battle for national liberation has been resolved in history without fierce confrontation and without precious sacrifices.

Despite the horror of the Zionist killing and destruction, the picture in Gaza is not entirely bleak: everyone knows that Israel has achieved nothing but destruction and killing, and that is not one of the strategic goals it declared when it declared war on the resistance. Thus, she exposed herself internationally, judicially, politically and morally, knowing this, but she has not yet realized that times have changed.
