The struggle of the Palestinian people has gone through various stages over the past years and decades. 1- The period of the British occupation of Palestine, during which religious leaders played an important and effective role in informing the masses about the nature of this occupation. 2- Zionist occupation; Palestinian leftist parties have maintained the struggle against the Israeli occupation for three decades, during which the people and their conscious activities played an effective role in the fight against the occupation. 3- The emergence of Islamic movements such as Hamas and Islamic Jihad in the field of struggle and revolution. That stage made the 1980s a symbol of the Palestinian nation's struggle and resistance to Zionist coercion and colonialism.
According to the experts’ opinions, the third period of the Palestinian nation's struggle was a turning point in the line-up of the united Palestinian people against the invading enemy, which is known as the moment when the Palestinians succeeded in achieving important achievements in the field of resistance against the occupiers. However, other movements, such as Fatah, by entering the field of negotiation and compromise with the Zionist regime, prepared the ground for the violation of the rights of the Palestinian people.
Stages of Fighting
Eyad Al Qara Palestinian writer and political analyst said in an interview with Qods News Agency: “The main part of the struggle between the Palestinians and the Zionist occupiers dates back to after 1967, when most Palestinian groups emerged and succeeded to keep Palestine as the first issue of the Arab world and the Islamic world with their resistance and anti-colonial tendencies, despite the efforts of some Arab parties to normalize relations and the silence of the international community.
Al Qara also noted that “the revolutionary spirit of the Palestinian people in the face of the occupying regime came to life when these people tried to sort out the equations by actively participating in street battles with the Israeli military, and especially by participating in the 1987 Stone Intifada.”
Oslo; Culture of peace and negotiation
The Palestinian political expert went on to say that as a result of financial and political pressures, the Fatah movement poured cold water on the hot body of the Palestinian people in the fight against the Zionist regime during negotiations with the Israeli leaders at the Madrid summit, and has since become a strong pillar for cooperation with Israel (security and political).
"Oslo is the darkest page in the history of the Palestinian people's revolutionary and militant history since 1948, because it also calls on the Palestinians to be directly involved in this treacherous process," he added.
Referring to the diversion of the Fatah Movement from resistance groups, Al Qara asserted that: “The Palestinian Authority believes that cooperation with the Zionists, based on what is called a two-state solution to the Palestinian question, is the only key to the conflict between the two sides.”
Mustafa al-Suwaf, a political expert and journalist living in Gaza, stressed that the signing of the Oslo Accords caused discord and division among the Palestinians. "What happened before Oslo, the Madrid Summit, and only after that, only with "The aim was to weaken the Palestinian cause and humiliate the Arabs and bring them to the arena of normalizing relations with the occupying regime, and ultimately confronting the Palestinian resistance and creating divisions among them,” he added.
The Palestinian journalists further explained that “The Arab regimes that attempted to normalize relations with the Zionist regime have gone directly to war with the religion of God. The critical and challenging situation in Egypt in various domestic arenas, including the problem of the Ennahda Dam, and Jordan, which today reaches out to Israel to get a sip of water, were examples of them.”
Osama Abu Nahl, a university professor and contemporary historian, talks about the negative dimensions and consequences of the Fatah movement's actions in the Palestinian resistance: "The role of the Fatah movement after 1988 is extremely destructive. Especially after the formation of the Palestinian National Council in Algeria and the parliament's approval of the recognition of the Zionist regime and Security Council Resolution 242 on the cessation of all American armed activities, as a result, representatives of the Fatah movement and the Palestine Liberation Organization in the fall of 1991 in the Madrid Peace Summit and then signed the Oslo Accords with the Israeli regime in 1993, an issue that left the two organizations, especially Fatah, in the lurch and the fate of the Palestinian cause in the face of the occupiers became a confusing mess.”
