Palestine needs help because of Israel which is a land usurper, a colonizer. Israel invaded and colonized Palestine in 1948 with its army. It existed thanks to a United Nations resolution in 1948. But since it existed as a state, it has never agreed to respect other United Nations resolutions which defend the existence and undeniable rights of the Palestinian people.
Now we understand why the Israeli state has never accepted the existence of two states – Israeli and Palestinian – living side by side. However, the Palestinians have accepted all kinds of agreements, such as the Camp David Accords in America, the Oslo Accords recommending the existence of two states living side by side and peacefully. But Israel refuses the existence of the Palestinian state.
If Israel continues to trample on the resolutions of the United Nations, it is because it is supported and armed militarily by the United States of America and politically defended at the United Nations. During the 1967 war, which lasted 6 days, Israel faced a coalition of Arab countries including Egypt of Gamal Abdel Nasser, Iraq of Saddam Hussein, Hafez Al Assad of Syria, Jordan etc. Despite this coalition of Arab countries against Israel, usurper of lands, the 1967 war lasted only 6 days.
Israel won this war thanks to American support, especially on the weapons side. During the Yom Kippur War of 1973, Israel still faced Arab countries including Egypt, Iraq, Syria, etc. And during this war, Egypt was still able to recover a small part of its territory on the Egyptian Sinai. This war had also lasted a few days, and Israel had won it again, again thanks to the Americans. This time, from the October 2023 war to now, almost a year, Israel is unable to triumph against Hamas which is a simple national liberation movement, while Israel is supported by Western countries, particularly the United States. .
This proves that Israel has lost this war against Hamas. Mahmoud Abbasss who is the head of the PLO and the Al Fatah faction which is a secular political party has abandoned Hamas to the mercy of Israel and the Americans. Despite everything, Hamas is still holding on.
It is obvious that the United States is an unjust and intolerant country, because as a member of the United Nations, it always uses its veto to defend Israel. Fortunately, the Iranians are there to defend the holy places of Islam, especially Al Quds, the third holiest place of Islam located in Jerusalem, after Mecca and Medina.
Finally, we bring to the attention of our readers that we have just returned from Jerusalem, just before the outbreak of the war between Israel and Hamas, but when we were performing our prayers, the mosques of Jerusalem, the Al Khalil Mosque in Hebron and the Prophet Musa Mosque in Jericho were still invaded and surrounded by the Israeli police and army armed to the teeth.
It is therefore an obligation for all Muslim countries to support Hamas which, we repeat, is a national liberation movement and which has been demanding from 1948 to now the undeniable rights of the Palestinian people.
What is sickening and intolerable about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is that almost all Israelis come from Eastern countries, such as Germany, Great Britain and even Americans.
This is why Europe does not want the return of Palestinian refugees chased and expelled by the Israeli army in 1948. At the time, these Palestinian refugees numbered 800,000. But currently, there are more than 5 million across the world.
