Condemnation and denunciation are no longer meaningful, international appeals carry no weight, and they do not affect the reality on the ground in the face of a tsunami of settlement and Judaization decisions, and occupation and replacement policies. On the one hand, the occupation government continues its open war on the Palestinian people, and on the other hand, it issues decisions that undermine the unity of Palestinian geography and target the Palestinian existence with all its political, social, and economic components. These decisions nullify all international decisions based on the two-state solution and aimed at achieving a just peace. What Netanyahu's mini-cabinet approved not only contradicts international legitimacy decisions but also all Oslo agreements, the commitments of successive American administrations, what was signed in the White House, the commitments of the international community, and the recognition of states of the Palestinian people's right to self-determination and to establish their state on all occupied territories in 1967.
Barren policies, flimsy plans, attempts at settlement replacement, an apartheid system, and pushing Palestinians towards displacement and exile, sometimes by military force and brutality, and sometimes by geographical, economic, educational, and health strangulation. The recent decisions came to crown the project of the far-right, who openly declare their intentions, the latest of which was Smotrich's statement yesterday, raising the slogan: "We bury the Palestinian state." This is one of the doors that howl day and night against everything Palestinian, pushing settlers to wreak havoc on the land under the protection of the occupation army.
Today, Palestine is experiencing an existential threat and a direct, declared targeting, from mass killing and extermination to siege, strangulation, confiscation, and Judaization. In the absence of serious and effective international action, and Arab and regional action, and under the bias of President Trump, those who lead the occupation government remain oblivious to international law and UN charters, adopting this racist policy as the only path, and an approach with fascist racist behavior, and a deeply extremist mentality.
In the face of what is happening, and in light of biased American policies, international weakness, and regional and Arab fragility, the Palestinian position remains oscillating between denunciation and condemnation. This condemnation, which the occupation government does not understand, means that the tools of action must change to suit the complex circumstances and reality, and that plans must be commensurate with the challenges; silence does not deter the occupier, and waiting will lead to more dangerous consequences, which necessitates moving from the square of reaction to effective action, and from the language of statements to tools of political, legal, and popular confrontation, and building a comprehensive national strategy based on unity of position, and activating all legitimate forms of pressure to protect the land and people, and restore consideration to the Palestinian cause as a just national liberation issue that does not lapse with time or erased by decisions of power and hegemony.
