Afrasianet - As the date of France and other countries recognizing an independent Palestinian state within the so-called two-state solution, which was recalled by the United Nations General Assembly two days ago, is escalating within the camp of supporters of the Palestinian cause between those who welcome the resolution and those who doubt its importance, considering that Israel rejects it, and in any case has made it impossible on the ground. 

The starting point of today's reality on the ground and its connection to international law and ways of dealing with it, and the starting point of the political horizon or the "final" fate, without which it is difficult to imagine a human future without closed and conflicting identities.

With regard to the first premise, some recall that the occupied Palestinian territories, according to UN Resolution 242, i.e. the West Bank, East Jerusalem, and Gaza, are being subjected to a declared war of extermination on the one hand, and to settlements, annexation and expulsion of populations on the other, which makes the establishment of any state in them impossible. 

In addition, Resolution 194, which provides for the right of return and compensation for Palestinians expelled from Israel in 1948, is completely rejected by Israel.Therefore, any recognition of a Palestinian political entity on a shattered, torn, occupied land to which its sons and daughters are prohibited from returning and irreparable after the theft of their property, is a symbolic recognition that cannot be turned into a reality in light of the current balance of power and in light of the unconditional American support for Tel Aviv.

In fact, some people believe that the late recognition is compensation for the lack of He took the required positions on Israeli crimes and evaded the implementation of sanctions against them, and claimed to respect the will of the Palestinians without turning this into a material manifestation of this will. However, the aforementioned statement, despite its relevance in aspects of its logic, and which can be added to question the form of recognition itself, given its conditions and exceptions, is not correct without clarifying two things. First, recognition of the Palestinian state is the demand of the Palestinian national movement in all its components.

A national liberation movement struggling for independence and living on its own soil cannot refuse to recognize the state it fought for without many circumstances. Recognition is therefore a demand that must be upheld, and it is based on international law that the Palestinians and their allies defend against Israel and America's support. Second, the call for sanctions against Tel Aviv and the prosecution of its officials for committing war crimes and crimes against humanity, leading to the crime of genocide, does not contradict the principle of recognition, but rather must be a parallel step and focus on it in the next stage.

Beyond the debate about the usefulness and necessity of the matter today, or with regard to the second premise, i.e., the horizon of the Palestinian issue, it is worth saying that the two-state solution, which is impossible on the ground today, and which is required at the same time politically and legally/judicially to consolidate the principle of Palestinian entity and to trigger more international lawsuits against Israel, is only a station in a long and continuous path that can change and meander, and may one day turn into a base for research in one state for all its residents on a basis Equality and democracy, which constitutes a challenge to the philosophy of the Zionist state and its project to erase the Palestinians and uproot them from their land.

In any case, in light of annexation, displacement, destruction and uprooting, we are heading to a single state, but it is a "state of racial discrimination", according to the International Court of Justice and according to international and local human rights organizations. Racial discrimination is a crime against humanity as defined in the UN conventions on it in 1973, at the height of South Africa's struggle against its regime, the closest ally of the Israelis. Israel will not be able to change the situation through its projects for demographic change, because no matter how many people are killed and displaced, it will not succeed in "eliminating" 5 million Palestinians in Jerusalem, the West Bank and Gaza (in addition to the 2 million Palestinians inside Israel).

No matter how much official U.S. support for it continues, the hard work to isolate and prosecute it, including within Western countries and its origins, will not remain confined to academia or other artistic and elite circles. In Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Iceland, Belgium, Ireland, Spain, Slovenia, Greece, Scotland, France, Italy, England, and the Netherlands, it has become major political forces that carry it, supported by trade unions, civil society institutions, and broad segments of public opinion.

The matter is likely to escalate in the next stage, especially since the embarrassment of silence in the face of Israel's atrocities in Gaza has begun to affect the official bodies of the European Union, and it will undoubtedly encourage UN organizations and their committees to take more "escalatory" positions, even if the United States finds it difficult to translate them into decisive international measures.

This brings us back to the American knot, which remains the first element of obstruction to any new pressure and sanctions against Israel. It is also still the element that enables Israel to gain military superiority, to sustain its wars, and to continue to have access to the most advanced munitions and technology, without which it is insurmountable.

This knot is not on its way to softening, and there does not seem to be any chance of changing America's positions in the coming years. But the issue there is also generational.

Most opinion polls and studies indicate a significant change in attitudes among the new generation – especially the university – towards Israel.This is most likely what worries Tel Aviv and its current government, and pushes it to accelerate the pace of violence and wars, seek to spread chaos in the entire region, and expand the circle of confrontations so that the conflict and war files accumulate and obscure the core issue: Palestine.

It is about to undergo transformations and developments that may politically contradict the results of the Israeli massacres and the plans of the "Final Solution" pushed by Benjamin Netanyahu and his fascist ministers.
