A number of people chanted some slogans against the Palestinian resistance and against Hamas. One of the speakers said: “We, the people of Beit Lahiya, are the people of peace. We love peace and we want the war to come to an end.”
Israeli and pro-Israel media, officials and a number of anti-resistance social media influencers exploited these protests and used them as a tool to attack the Palestinian resistance movements, especially Hamas. Even Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz hailed the protests and said that the apartheid state is betting on them in its attempt to defeat Hamas.
Such protests would have been appreciated but they were solely aimed at the Israeli occupation, which has been carrying out unprecedented livestreamed genocide with full impunity and support from the entire world.
Unfortunately, we saw how these protests were exploited and derailed from their goal as prominent Palestinian Authority employees led them and well-known fugitives and even Israeli propagandists like Edy Cohen took part in inciting people, who hate the resistance, to join them.
An Israeli journalist called me five months ago and told me that the Israeli people are fed up with the longest war they have ever experienced and so they have revolted against their government, urging it to end the war. Then, he asked me: “When will Gaza’s residents revolt against Hamas?” He told me that Israeli leaders had been waiting for such a moment.
In fact, during the course of the Israeli genocide in Gaza, Israeli leaders and their allies have been trying to blame Hamas and the other Palestinian resistance movements for every war crime the Israeli occupation army has been carrying out in the besieged enclave. They have been setting the scene to justify their pre-planned exterminator of the Palestinians in Gaza ahead of annexing the enclave.
Israel does not differentiate between one Palestinian and the other. All of them are enemies that must be eliminated because they will never give up resisting the occupation which forced them out of their homes, stole their land and has been massacring them ever since.
A lot of people have short-term memories so are unable to recall the Israeli occupation’s atrocities against us and abusive calls and remarks as well as false claims made by Israeli leaders against us. Therefore, they might not be interested to know the Israeli leader who said: “The best Palestinian friend is the Palestinian who is dead.”
Let me remind you that in a televised speech at the start of the genocide, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu borrowed the word “Amalek” from the Jewish Bible, describing the Palestinians as Amalek. This implied that there was a commandment which stipulates that Palestinians must be destroyed by Jews.
Netanyahu’s former Defence Minister Yoav Gallant described the Palestinians as “human animals,” justifying his order to cut electricity, fuel and water supplies going to Gaza. Under international law, such supplies must be provided free of charge for people living under occupation, but Palestinians pay for them.
Then, Deputy Knesset Speaker Nissim Vaturi wrote on X that Israelis had one common goal — “erasing the Gaza Strip from the face of the earth.” Meanwhile, Israeli Heritage Minister Amichay Eliyahu suggested that Israel drop a nuclear bomb on Gaza and said there were “no uninvolved civilians” in Gaza.
Moshe Feiglin, the founder of Israel’s right-wing Zehut Party and former Likud MK, called for the complete destruction of the besieged enclave. “There is one and only [one] solution, which is to completely destroy Gaza before invading it. I mean destruction like what happened in Dresden and Hiroshima, without nuclear weapons,” he said.
He also clearly said that Israel’s goal should not be to eliminate Hamas, but rather the whole people of Gaza. “Gaza should be razed… This is our country,” he said.
Echoing US President Donald Trump’s remarks about the forced expulsion of Gaza residents, Israeli Communications Minister Shlomo Karhi demanded the swift expulsion of the Palestinians, stating that cutting electricity and water supplies would force them to leave to Egypt.
Far-right Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich also said cutting electricity, water and humanitarian aid to Gaza would accelerate Trump’s plan.
While Vaturi said: “Nakba. Expel them all… If the Egyptians care so much for them – they are welcome to have them wrapped in cellophane tied with a green ribbon.”
Another MK, Ariel Kallner, said: “Nakba to the enemy now! This day is our Pearl Harbour. We will still learn the lessons. Right now, one goal: Nakba! A Nakba that will overshadow the Nakba of 48. A Nakba in Gaza and a Nakba for anyone who dares to join!”
Israeli leaders and people do not differentiate between the Palestinians. They have been killing Palestinians indiscriminately and targeting areas even though they are certain no resistance fighters are located there.
Regarding the peace the protesters called for, have they forgotten that we should have been living in peace since 1993 when the PLO signed the Oslo Peace Agreement that led to the then major Palestinian resistance movement Fatah to demilitarise? What happened to us? They continued killing us.
It is not the Palestinians who should prove they are peaceful, but the Israelis. However, this will never happen as long as they enjoy the support of the hypocritic super powers and Arab leaders.
This will also never happen if the Palestinians lay down their arms and stop their legitimate resistance. Resistance is our honour and dignity and is the only way to regain our freedom.
