A country bleeding martyrs
Aqaba, Jenin camp, Deheishe, Kafr Qud, Gaza, and the Jordan Valley… the pain of yesterday as it counts the martyrs and offers them as sacrifices for the homeland. Yesterday is no different from the day before yesterday, the past day, the coming day, and the day after. The story and narrative emanating from the walls and alleys of the Palestinian camps, villages, and towns, tells of martyrs who have walked the path of freedom, confronting the most violent and ferocious campaign of arrests, attacks, and assassinations accompanied by major operations to destroy the infrastructure in the West Bank and Gaza Strip.
Yesterday Jenin, before that Tulkarm camp and Nablus, and tomorrow Bethlehem, Ramallah, Jericho and Qalqilya... and Jerusalem is always present in the scene of the daily slaughter practiced by Israel against defenseless civilians. Therefore, the story of the martyrs through whom Israel assassinates the best of Palestine's youth is not absent from the scene of the West Bank every day, in addition to the daily massacres taking place in the Gaza Strip, with which hundreds of innocent free men, women and children, are killed, victims of the occupation's aggression against all aspects of life in Palestine.
There is no difference between the West Bank, Jerusalem and Gaza, and if the occupation wants them to be scattered and artificial cantons with imaginary borders, then the message of the Palestinians is that the borders of the homeland are drawn by the blood of the martyrs, and this daily slaughter is nothing but a message to Israel, that no matter how much it assassinates, kills, slaughters and displaces, it will not kill the spirit of pride and resistance in the souls of the Palestinians, who realize more than ever that this occupation has crossed all borders with its oppressive and aggressive practices, but they are patient and believe in the inevitability of our people’s victory, no matter how late it is.
Yesterday, Israel carried out three new massacres in the Gaza Strip, killing dozens of our people. The West Bank was also targeted, and provided 13 martyrs in one day: five in Jenin camp, two in Kafr Qud (Jenin), four in Aqaba, Tubas district, one martyr in Deheishe camp, and another in the Jordan Valley. This means that Israel has unleashed its aggressive policy against our Palestinian people on the widest scale, which will affect the region and the world and will create new challenges, especially since our people no longer have the opportunity to predict the coming day. Yesterday and today are the same in everything related to the war and aggression, which is considered very heavy and dangerous for our people, half of whom have become martyrs, the other half are refugees, and the rest are awaiting their fate, because the title of the first homeland today is (martyrs who bleed on the altar of freedom) and a homeland that bleeds martyrs. So who will stop Israel from monopolizing the homeland of martyrs?
