Afrasianet - Oraib al, Rantawi - A double tsunami has struck the Palestinian-Israeli conflict with the highest Richter scale over the past few weeks. Wholesale and scattered confessions (or promises of recognition) of the Palestinian state have been issued by Western and international capitals, most of which are permanent sponsors of Israel and its Zionist project in the region, coinciding with a wave of condemnations and denunciations of the crimes of genocide, starvation and cleansing practiced by the Israeli entity against the Palestinian people, especially in the Gaza Strip.
This is an unprecedented development since the conflict began eight decades ago. This is a strategic coup in the scene that will have consequences in the coming days and confrontations.
Western recognition of the Palestinian state came too late, and at times burdened with conditions that are difficult to swallow and digest, which led many Palestinian observers and their supporters to view this important qualitative development with suspicion and suspicion, and even accusations of setting ambushes and traps, invoking all the statements and tools in the "conspiracy theory" to explain the phenomenon, warning of its enormous dangers to the people, the cause, rights, and the just and legitimate struggle.
For our part, we understand this caution and those concerns, although we do not agree with this reading.
The opponents of the resistance, regardless of their references and backgrounds, looked at this development with interest, but they did not hesitate for a moment to remove this achievement from the resistance and its flood, preferring its response to the humanitarian catastrophe that befell the Gaza Strip and its people, and sometimes to their "diplomatic skill" that did not bring any benefit or prevent harm. The disaster.
They forget, premeditated and premeditated, that Gaza and its resistance are the story of the conditional interdependence between disaster and heroism. If it were not for the steadfastness and steadfastness of the resistance, and its ability to manage the two-year war, as the Arab armies did not do combined, and if it were not for the hysteria it caused to the army, security, and the political level, the effects of the flood would not have been able to take their course, and it would not have been possible to bring about all these shifts in world public opinion, which has begun to be reflected in the positions of regimes, governments and parliaments.
They have forgotten or forgotten that what the resistance has accomplished in less than two years, hundreds of conferences, initiatives, international resolutions and references that have shaped the features of what was once called the "peace process" have been unable to accomplish for years and decades.
As for the story of the catastrophe, and its reaching unprecedented heights throughout history and geography, the "new rationalists" in our Arab world forget that its burden falls on their helplessness, complicity and failure to even bring a morsel of food or a drink of water into Gaza without "prior Israeli permission", often after suffering and a humiliating long wait.
This catastrophe would not have been prolonged, if the nearly two dozen Arab countries had decided to abide by the minimum charters of joint Arab action, and waved at their disposal the tools of political, diplomatic and economic power and pressure at their disposal, at the very least.
In any case, the tsunami of recognition of the Palestinian state should not be read with disdain or intimidation. On the one hand, this tsunami is the other side of the tsunami of condemnation and denunciation of neo-fascists, and it establishes politically, morally and legally the project of statehood as the embodiment of the Palestinian national entity.
As for the caution against the consequences of the Palestinians complying with the list of heavy preconditions for recognition, it should not be hidden from our eyes that there is an achievement in front of us, and faster than we thought.
As for the game of "intimidation", "drumming" and "honking" of this achievement, in which the supporters of the theory of the "state is just a stone's throw away" are engaged, they do not have to pay much attention to their positions and shouts, as they have already given the "authority without authority" the character of the state, and they thought that the red carpet and the parade of the guard of honor at the entrances to their headquarters enabled them to travel more than half of the way to the state, even though the area of their authority is constantly decreasing, and with it the manifestations of their prestige and sovereignty over their small area in the their temporary capital.
International recognition of the Palestinian state does not necessarily mean the establishment of such a state, or that it is just around the corner. This is a militant task that may take years and decades. This is a struggle that will need to be passed from generation to generation.
We are dealing here with an entity: a state and a society, which is drifting with astonishing acceleration towards savagery and fascism, and until it is eroded by the elements of decay from within or by strikes from outside, or both, a difficult and costly time will pass for the Palestinians and their allies and supporters.
We have the right to view with great suspicion and suspicion the positions of France and Britain (and Germany, which is still behind them) loaded with preconditions: recognition of Israel as a Jewish state, elections without Hamas, disarming of the resistance, reforms in the PA that strip it of any national semblance and strip its people of their collective historical memory.
We have the right to be concerned about the hidden and malicious intentions behind this pile of humiliating demands, but it is our duty to reject them, to uphold what is right for us, and to remind them that they have the best relations with the government of war criminals, who are accused of purification, extermination and starvation of Gaza's children and women.
We have the right to ask them about their remaining values and consciences, as they see the likes of Ben-Gvir and Smotrich sitting in the seats of a government with which they have the closest relations, and with which they continue to provide the weapons and ammunition they need.
But before we question them, we must ask the influential team in Ramallah, which seems to have no need for anyone to convince them or pressure them to accept these humiliating conditions.
This team has been promoting for years to disarm the resistance, and it has already followed the statement in Jenin, Tulkarem, and throughout the West Bank, and it is issuing a booby-trapped presidential decree, in which it preempted the German chancellor's demands to hold elections without Hamas or resistance factions, elections of one color, in which the Oslo team will compete itself for the seats of the National Council.
Here lies the danger and the ills, here is the loophole and the "Trojan horse" through which the haters of the people and their resistance seek to penetrate to pass some of their dark agendas.
Just as the PA's performance was the "Achilles' heel" of the past two years' war, the continued dominance of this group and its uniqueness in the reins of power, decision-making and "legitimacy" is the "Achilles' heel" of the next political and diplomatic tour, aimed at ridding the "recognition of Palestine" from the Israeli conditions and demands that were attached to it par excellence, even if it comes in a clear German, French or English language.
Celebrating the tsunami of double confession and condemnation should not distract from caution and attention, as we may be facing a new "hole" that we have been bitten by time and time again, such as being asked to pay the full price, in advance and in advance, while the delivery of the "goods" is still postponed, and in boring installments. Or he should demand the beheading of the resistance, and rush to recognize the Jewishness of the Jewish state and normalize with it, in the hope that there will one day be a Palestinian state, without the "people" bothering to "elaborate" on the subject of the state, neither in terms of its borders, sovereignty and capital, nor in terms of answering the question: Who are the citizens of this future state?
It is as if we are facing an attempt to "internationalize" the local slogan of the government of Abdul Karim al-Kabariti at the time of the bread price crisis in Jordan: "Pay before lifting", so that the Palestinians are meant to pay the heavy price of the occupation, racism and genocide, before the restrictions and "vetoes" on the recognition of their state are lifted. Leave aside the story of the embodiment of this state as a reality on the ground, let there be another story that has "belowed" contexts and conditions.
In a war titled "Winning Points", not by technical knockout, the Palestinians are making tangible progress, which Israel and its closest and most loyal friends recognize, and which some of them and some of their brothers deny, despite the horrific human cost they are incurring.
It is more likely that they will be in a better position, as they prepare to fight new rounds and battles of this war, which we know will inevitably come, although we do not know when, how, and by what means.
