One of the greatest successes of the occupiers of Palestine is that they never fail in failing:
They keep trying to solve the problem they created by repeating the same mistakes over and over again, expecting a different outcome each time.
They fail to learn that in this universe, nothing is static, every thing is a flux. Change is the only constant around, that includes superpowers of course.
They fail to learn, that in physics, every action has a reaction.
They fail to learn that Balance is an intrinsic law of nature, just as justice is a human value.
They fail to learn that depravity can never produce beauty, just as a thistle seed can never morph to an olive tree.
They fail to learn that savagery cannot bring about mercy, as odd notes would never compose a Beethoven melody.
They fail to learn that being entrenched in violence, they can expect nothing but violence to ebb and flow around them.
They fail to learn that love is not a merchandise to be bought or a law to be enforced.
They fail to learn that you can not lie your way to truth, nor can you bombard your way to peace.
Occupiers of Palestine
You have lost a century of wasted opportunities and myriad of possibilities of dwelling in a beautiful land, being embraced by a hospitable people.
You could have chosen to behave as decent human beings, change direction, cease hostilities, put down your weapons, feel remorse for the crimes you’ve committed and start anew.
You could have decided to feel remorse, seek forgiveness from the indigenous people of the land, then humbly and peacefully integrate.
But No.
Your supremacy stood in the way.
Your chutzpah, greed and overblown egos have proven to be your biggest enemy.
Your “chosen-mess”, the delusion of “holiness”, “moral and intellectual superiority” and the feeling of “invincibility” will be proven to be without a shadow of doubt your ultimate doom.
Your deceitful methods and relentless lies have earned them nothing but the disgrace and contempt of the entire world.
You have chosen the wrong place to invade
Targeted the wrong people to subdue and enslave.
Hey you, occupiers
Now, sit on the floor
Legs crossed, mouths shut, ears open
Sit and learn
Burying your heads in sands won’t help. You have done it far too long, and as you see, to no avail.
Covering your blatant lies with more lies will only make you the laughing stock of the world, alienated, shamed and ridiculed.
The love you so disparately seek will only be your dishonour and disgrace.
Sticking a label on a honey jar and claiming it’s poison, does not make so.
Hasbarising that Freedom Fighters are “terrorists” does NOT make them so.
International law, as well as shared human values grants legitimacy to any occupied people to defend themselves, and condones their right to fight back the occupiers of their land by all means available, including armed Resistance.
Throughout the history of mankind, the right of self-defence has been granted to those who have suffered wars of aggression against them, more so those who have dispossessed and whose homeland has been stolen and occupied. That right does not extend to the aggressors, invaders and occupiers of others’ land.
Hey occupiers,
Muqawameh is not a building to destroy, or a tunnel to flood, or a people to exterminate.
Muqawameh is an Idea that reverberates in the minds, hearts and souls of billions of peace-loving, truth-seeking, and justice-cherishing people across the globe.
Muqawameh is Resistance to oppression, enslavement and humiliation.
Muqawameh is a gasp for Life, for a suffocating people on the brink of annihilation.
Muqawameh is the will of a people to seek Life, dignified, honorable and Free.
