On the anniversary of the Nakba, we do not need unity

The fifteenth day of May coincides with the anniversary of the Palestinian Nakba, as a result of which a large part of our people were displaced outside their homeland, Palestine, and the establishment of the State of Israel on the ruins of our people as a result of an international conspiracy, led by Britain through the ominous Balfour Declaration, and then imposing its mandate on Palestine, and more accurately imposing its colonization. On Palestine and to pass the ominous promise, which is the establishment of a national home for the Jews on Palestinian land, so that the Zionist entity will be a spearhead in the region to preserve colonial interests in the Arab region and prevent the unity of the Arab world, because in its unity it constitutes a danger to the Western colonial countries, because it rejects colonialism and condemnation of the occupying state .


This occasion comes this year, and our people are going through difficult circumstances, whether inside historic Palestine, or in the land of diaspora in neighboring Arab countries and around the globe. In addition to the devastating division, which is on its way to turning into political and geographical separation, there are also conspiracies aimed at liquidating the cause of our people in particular. After the occupying state was able to occupy the rest of the Palestinian land in 1967 and what it is doing and has done in terms of building settlements in the West Bank, including Jerusalem, Judaizing the Holy City, annexing more lands and crimes committed against our people in terms of killings and arrests in broad daylight and in front of the world As a whole, without the occupying power receiving any punishment for these crimes against people, trees and stones.


Despite this, our people are steadfast on their land and reject all the obnoxious attempts of the occupation in order to force them to emigrate abroad so that they can confiscate more lands and expand settlements and establish more of them, bringing the number of settlers in the West Bank to more than one million settlers according to the plans of the occupying state, considering these as the line of defense The first is about the occupying state, as announced by more than one Israeli official, which encouraged and encourages herds of settlers to escalate their attacks and crimes against our people, their land, property, and sanctities, foremost of which is the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque.


On this occasion, what we most need these days is the unity of the Palestinian national ranks, to confront the conspiracies and liquidation challenges aimed at ending the conflict in the region in favor of the occupying state, headed by a government that is one of the most right-wing, racist and extremist governments.


Without the unity of the Palestinian national ranks, the liquidation plots will continue and our people will pay more sacrifices on the altar of their national cause, especially since the occupying state is exploiting this devastating division, feeding it and deepening it by all means in order to continue its attempts to liquidate the conflict in its favour.


Will the Palestinian leaders learn, and the interest of the homeland prevails over partisan and individual interests, and face the challenges unified, and rise to the level of field unity embodied and embodied by our people in all confrontations with the occupying state, without regard to which faction this or that citizen belongs to? On the contrary, these The field unit thwarted many of the occupation's plans, and the thing that our people lack is political and geographical unity. Is there any answer?
