The memory of the Nakba... lessons and lessons

On the anniversary of the 56-year setback that led to the occupation of the rest of the Palestinian land along with Arab lands, in addition to the heavy losses suffered by the Arab side, especially Egypt, Syria and Jordan, where the occupying state occupied part of the lands of these countries that participated in the war 1967, and it suffered a military defeat at the hands of the Israeli occupation forces supported by America and the countries of the colonial West. There are many positive aspects and phenomena that resulted from this war, and even the Israeli aggression against three Arab countries.


Everyone talked about the losses incurred by these countries and the loss of the rest of the Palestinian land, but few talked about the positive phenomena that still affect the occupying state and show that the future belongs to our people and the Arab and Islamic peoples, and that the occupation is destined to disappear, despite the fact that the current stage is alien to Palestine on the internal level, where the devastating division .


Immediately after the setback, the Palestinian resistance appeared, which revived the Palestinian cause again after the occupation thought that its military victory in the June 1967 war would make the Palestinian people calm down and raise the white flag, to the extent that the Prime Minister of the occupying state, Golda Meir, claimed that there is no Palestinian people, except that the state The occupation, as a result of the resistance of the Palestinian people, was forced to recognize our people, despite the fact that some poles of Netanyahu's racist and extreme right-wing government claim that the Palestinian people was invented only a hundred years ago.


Not only that, but the Palestinian struggle and the launch of its contemporary revolution, led by the Palestine Liberation Organization, the sole and legitimate representative of our people in all places of its presence inside Palestine and in the diaspora, led to the recognition by the Arab countries of the PLO as the sole and legitimate representative of the Palestinian people, along with the recognition by the United Nations not only of the PLO. liberation, but also the state of Palestine as an observer, and if the Palestinian struggle continued at its previous pace, the world would have been forced to recognize Palestine as a full-fledged member state in the United Nations, and the situation would have been better than it is now, as the struggle in all its forms and means retreated as a result of the devastating division and betting on the settlements that only brought our people More liquidation plots.


The Palestinian resistance has withstood in different stages of the struggle and was defeated along with the Jordanian army in the Battle of Dignity. It restored the dignity of the Jordanian and Arab soldiers and proved that the Israeli army, which was described by its occupation leadership as the invincible army, has been subdued and defeated in more than one incident other than the Battle of Dignity. It came after months of aggression and defeat in 1967, which was termed the setback in order to mitigate its impact on the Arab armies and peoples who were afflicted with temporary shock as a result.


It is true that the internal Palestinian situation only pleases the enemies, due to the political and geographical division, which affected the Palestinian cause. However, this situation will not last forever. Circumstances require all Palestinians to face challenges and achieve more achievements on the road to restoring the inalienable national rights of return. Self-determination and the establishment of an independent state with Al-Quds Al-Sharif as its capital.


There are many lessons and through the setback, and we must benefit from them, whether positive or negative, to prepare for the next stages to achieve victory and defeat the occupation.
