58 Years of Israel's Challenge to the International Community...America Bears Responsibility

77 years have passed since the Zionist Jewish gangs were able to occupy 78% of the area of historic Palestine and forcibly displace nearly one million Palestinians. They and their descendants were denied the right to return to their cities and villages from which they were forcibly expelled in 1948, in violation of UN General Assembly Resolution 194 and General Assembly Resolution 273, which made Israel’s acceptance as a member of the United Nations conditional upon its implementation of General Assembly Resolutions 181 and 194.

Fifty-eight years have passed since the aggression of June 5, 1967, which resulted in the occupation of the rest of the Palestinian land (the West Bank and the Gaza Strip), and Arab lands (the Syrian Golan and Sinai), in violation of the principles and Charter of the United Nations, which prohibits the occupation of the territory of another state by force, and guarantees freedom, independence and self-determination for peoples, and obliges member states of the United Nations to respect and implement its resolutions issued by its two councils, the General Assembly and the Security Council.

So, we are talking about decades of the artificial Israeli entity’s failure to comply with its legal and human rights obligations stipulated in the UN Charter, most notably Article 4/1 of the Charter, which states that “Membership in the United Nations is open to all peace-loving states that accept the obligations contained in the present Charter.” It also defies international will and continues to arrogantly declare its refusal to implement any international resolution, to the point of describing the United Nations, its institutions and its Secretary-General, as anti-Semitic and supporting terrorism without fear of accountability and punishment. This calls for raising the question of the power that enables it to escape accountability and punishment and to perpetuate its occupation of the Palestinian and Arab territories occupied since June 1967, and how to deal with it to deter it from overturning the principles, objectives and Charter of the United Nations.

How long will Israel remain above international law and legitimacy?

This question necessarily brings us back to the root of the conflict, with the adoption by the colonial powers “Britain, France, and America” of working to create an artificial, parasitic entity alien to the Arab world, employed to serve the aggressive and expansionist colonial goals to ensure their hegemony and influence and to be the striking hand in the face of any power or state that threatens the interests of those states or one of them. This led to the birth of a cancerous entity called Israel in the heart of the greater Arab world, empowering it with all means of military power “that exceeds the combined power of the Arab states,” political and economic power, and escaping accountability and punishment stipulated in the Charter of the United Nations. What is the justification for the crimes of the terrorist colonial entity, the Israeli, with the war of extermination and ethnic cleansing that it is committing in the Gaza Strip, the West Bank, and Jerusalem, the capital of the internationally recognized Palestinian state, and with America’s use of the veto, contrary to the philosophy of the veto, in refusal to stop the ongoing brutal Israeli aggression by targeting Palestinian civilians, imposing a comprehensive siege and depriving them of food, medicine, and clean water, targeting hospitals and health centers, cutting off electricity and communications, and persisting in the crimes of murder and forced displacement targeting the Palestinian people “children, women, youth, and the elderly”? "Without discrimination and boasting about destroying all civilian objects in the Gaza Strip and to a lesser extent in the cities and villages of the West Bank under the pretext of the right to self-defense, in violation of Article 51 of the Charter, and supporting the goal of uprooting the Palestinian people from their homeland and forcibly displacing them "ethnic cleansing punishable internationally" is nothing but the model and evidence.

Based on the above, the greatest responsibility for this rogue Israeli entity remaining above the law falls on:

First, America. The bias of America and its axis towards the aggressive, expansionist Israeli policies over the decades, the absolute American support for the Israeli aggression and crimes, the supply of all types of lethal and internationally prohibited weapons to Israel, and the support for its aggression and occupation of new lands in Syria and Lebanon during the last months are nothing but evidence that America is the one setting the strategy and its goals and managing the wars of genocide and ethnic cleansing in occupied Palestine and the region in general through its tool and agent, Israel, to ensure the subjugation of the Arab and Islamic region to its influence and hegemony in anticipation of the birth of a new multipolar world order.

Second, the international community. The failure to implement the United Nations Charter without duplication, and the failure of the majority of member states of the General Assembly to fulfill their role and responsibilities to ensure that the Security Council is obligated to implement its resolutions in accordance with Article 24 of the Charter without duplication or selectivity, and to eliminate all forms of threats that undermine regional and international peace and security, represent the greatest threat to international peace and security, and to the global order, which is outdated due to its contradiction with the principles of justice and equality and its inability to embody international peace and security.

Third, the weakness of the official Arab position. The absence of a unified Arab position at the political and economic levels confronts the aggressive, expansionist Israeli-American scheme, which has been conclusively proven to target the greater Arab homeland, with all its countries, starting with Palestine, to keep it weak and fragmented by perpetuating the Sykes-Picot Agreement, to continue its hegemony over our Arab region due to its strategic location, and to plunder its wealth. In the absence of a unified position coupled with practical measures using the influential tools at its disposal, which are not to be underestimated, it can thus preserve its security, stability, the strength of its internal fronts, and the unity of its territories threatened by division. It can also achieve a scientific and technological renaissance and sustainable development using its own capabilities on the one hand, and impose itself as an independent, effective pole parallel to the other current and emerging poles on the global stage on the other hand.

The above represents the factors and reasons that have made Israel a rogue state above the law, immune from accountability, punishment, and compliance with the decisions of the highest international judicial authority, represented by the International Court of Justice.

Since the direct threat emanating from Israeli-American policy targets Arab national security in its comprehensive sense, this requires Arab leadership to rise up against American policy that supports the expansionist policy of the Israeli terrorist entity, which aims to divide it on ethnic, sectarian and racial lines. This must be done by reconsidering the nature of the current relationship to one based on common interests and building a balanced relationship with global poles in their political, economic, military and commercial aspects.

58 years have passed since the June defeat and the subsequent Israeli-American encroachment on Arab national security and stability, with the Palestinian issue as its main theme. All Arab summits unanimously agreed on its centrality, as did hundreds of resolutions issued by the General Assembly and the Security Council calling for an end to the Israeli occupation of the occupied Palestinian territories and enabling the Palestinian people to exercise their right to freedom, independence, self-determination, and the establishment of their independent state with Jerusalem as its capital. However, Israeli rebellion, arrogance, and impudence, which has reached its peak, especially in recent years, with American support for the principles, objectives, and Charter of the United Nations, its resolutions, and its public threats to Arab and Islamic countries, without any Arab or Islamic horizon to adopt a practical strategy to confront the Israeli colonial expansionist plan, will remain the greatest threat to the unity and stability of the region.

Moving from the realm of weakness, pleading and begging to the realm of unity and strength, and supporting the steadfastness of the Palestinian people on their homeland and their national struggle towards freedom, independence and the establishment of their independent state with Jerusalem as its capital, and enabling Palestinian refugees to return to their cities and villages from which they were forcibly expelled in 1948, in implementation of the historical right and international resolutions, constitutes the basis for Arab national security in its comprehensive sense.

Palestine was and will remain the first line of defense not only for the countries surrounding occupied Palestine, but also for the entire Arab world, with its security and stability.

The Palestinian people are steadfast on their land, continuing their struggle under the leadership of the Palestine Liberation Organization, the sole legitimate representative of the Palestinian people, and with Arab and Islamic support and the support of the free people of the world, until freedom, independence, and the establishment of their independent state with Jerusalem as its capital, with a will that will not waver or be defeated, God willing. Let the anniversary of the June defeat be a starting point toward strength and unity.
