Afrasianet - Younis Al , Didi - In a world where blood seems cheap and humanity hangs on the altar of politics, the recent events in the Jenin refugee camp in the West Bank remind us that war is not just a military conflict, but also a battle of dignity, a battle of existence.
The military campaign led by the Israeli occupation army against Jenin camp is not just a routine security operation, but part of a series of desperate attempts to compensate for the psychological and political defeat suffered by Israel after the last Gaza war.
The opening of the West Bank front is not only an attempt to divert attention from Gaza's failure, it is also an attempt to buy time, to delay the inevitable fall of Netanyahu, whose days in power are numbered.
Psychological Defeat: Gaza's Unhealed Wound
Just weeks ago, Gaza was the scene of a battle that exposed the fragility of the Israeli myth of an "invincible army." During the hostage handover, Palestinian resistance emerged strongly, not only as a military force, but as a popular will capable of resilience and defiance.
This image, which spread throughout the world, was a powerful blow to the Israeli narrative promoted by the Zionist propaganda machine, not only a military defeat, but a profound psychological defeat, a defeat that revealed that the "absolute victory" that the leaders of the occupation were singing about was nothing but an illusion.
To make matters worse, the wave of resignations engulfed the Israeli security and political establishment, which exposed deep divisions and mistrust of the leadership.
These resignations were not just changes in positions, but an implicit recognition of the failure to achieve the goals set.. failed to eliminate Hamas, failed to subjugate Gaza, and failed to redraw the image of the "superpower" that the entity was trying to export.
Jenin: A desperate attempt to extinguish the spark of defeat
In this context, the Jenin campaign comes as part of a desperate attempt to make up for this defeat. The West Bank, which for years was under the almost complete control of the occupation, has become a new arena for the discharge of anger after Israeli frustration, but this time the campaign is not only against armed resistance, but also against civilians, against innocent people who have become hostages to the temperament of extremist leaders, who hold sick ideas about the world and man.
The radical finance minister, Smotrich, who describes himself as a "visionary," seems to see Palestinian blood as fuel for the survival of Netanyahu's government.
Opening the West Bank front is not only an attempt to divert attention from Gaza's failure, it is also an attempt to buy time, to delay the inevitable fall of Netanyahu, whose days in power are numbered.
Occupation may kill innocent people, but it will not kill the dream, it may destroy homes, but it will not destroy the will, and even in the darkest moments the resistance remains! Not only with weapons, but with words, with image, and with insistence that rights are unforgettable, and that freedom is invincible.
Innocent hostages: blood that does not count
But the price paid by the Palestinian people is high! The blood shed in Jenin and Gaza is not just numbers in news reports, but the stories of children who did not know the taste of life, women who did not find the opportunity to realize their dreams, men who tried to live in dignity under an occupation that does not recognize their humanity. This blood has become hostage to the mood of extremist leaders, who hold in their hearts a deep hatred for all that is human.
In the midst of this tragic scene, a big question arises: How long will the world remain silent? How long will Palestinian blood continue to be shed without the world's conscience moving? The campaign on Jenin is not only an attack on the Palestinians, but also an attack on the human values that the world is supposed to defend.
Conclusion: Resisting the Will in the Face of the Machine of Destruction
In the end, what is happening in Jenin is part of a larger battle, a battle between the will of a people that refuses to be invincible, and a machine of destruction that is trying to prove that it is still capable of oppression. But history teaches us that the human will is stronger than any machine, and that the blood shed today will fuel the liberation of tomorrow.
The occupation may kill innocent people, but it will not kill the dream, and it may destroy homes, but it will not destroy the will, and even in the darkest moments the resistance remains!. Not only with weapons, but with words, with image, and by insisting that rights are invincible, that freedom is invincible.
We must never stop defending the oppressed and crushed man in this blessed land, and remind the world that the blood that flows is not just numbers, but human stories that deserve to be told and heard.
