resolution 181 The UN resolution on the “partition” of Palestine of November 29, 1947 suggested no fairness in allocating 56% of the land to the newly formed state of Israel (630,000 Zionist settlers) and 44 lands to the new Palestine (1,300,000 Palestinian Arabs). % of land. In the movie Exodus (Otto Preminger, 1960, screenplay by Dalton Trumbo), after learning of the decision, Barak Ben Canaan, Ari’s father and member of the Haganah (the official paramilitary self-defense group), addresses the enthusiastic crowd:
To the Arab population of Jewish Palestine. We ask you to stay in your homes and stores. We will work equally in the free state of Israel.
Applause to anger. while Hatikva (Hope), what will be Israel’s next anthem (written to the Italian melody La Mantovana by a poet born in Galicia (now Ukraine), performed by Czech composer Bedrich Stmetana, re-composed by Samuel Cohen), camera moves towards the meeting In the house of Taha the Philistine, where Ari Ben Canaan is located. Taha, the owner of the land in the valley, looks sad.
What’s the problem, Taha? -asks Air Ben Canaan
“You gain your freedom, I lose mine,” Taha replies.
-My lands belong to Israel now.
But they are still your land.
I am in the minority.
Minority, majority, who cares.
If it’s not important, why did you try so hard to achieve it?
Because there are hundreds of thousands of people who have nowhere else to go.
Where are my people going?
To leave? But this is your home. We must show that we can get along together. There are 630,000 Jews in Palestine.
While Taha is being hanged by his people in the valley, a fifteen-year-old Jewish girl is found murdered.
Ari swears at the common grave:
One day, Arabs and Jews will share a peaceful life in the land where they always shared death.
End. The movie ends with hope. Six months later, on May 15, 1948, State of Israel. Less than 24 hours had passed when the armies of Egypt, Jordan, Syria, Lebanon and Iraq declared war and invaded Israel. This is the so-called first Arab-Israeli war.
This brings us to Gaza. As a result of the war, some 750,000 Palestinian Arabs Those living in the area converted to Israel (90% of the total Palestinian population there) are deported. Approximately 250,000/300,000 people are cornered in Gaza, where they are overwhelming the existing Arab population. Gaza will be turned into a refugee camp and will then be classified as refugees and descendants of refugees.
The reader should remember what Ari Ben Canaan said to his friend Taha before he died.
Because there are hundreds of thousands of people who have nowhere else to go.
‘Das lebensraum’
Israel will need living space or habitat: das lebensraum in German. This is known as: German colonization policies Between 1890 and 1940. During the reign of Nazi Germany, it became an ideological principle and a regional goal, drawing on the idea expressed by Hitler in My Struggle (1925) about Germany’s need for “living space.”
The arbitrary 56% established by the UN in 1947, Israel will occupy 80 percent of The former lands called Palestine under British mandate. Therefore, the UN resolution is a dead letter.
Therefore, both the Gaza Strip, the West Bank and East Jerusalem will theoretically be areas outside its control.
But June 1967 comes. Six days’ war Between Arab countries and Israel. Lebensraum is taking an important step forward. Now the Tel Aviv government controls the West Bank, including East Jerusalem and the Gaza Strip. It also annexed Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula and Syria’s Golan Heights.
And so we arrive at the word that is forbidden for Israeli ideologists but forbidden for international law (Hague and Geneva Conventions). In other words, the conquered lands are “occupied lands”.
UN resolution
November 1967. UN Security Council unanimous resolution, 242. This famous issue (known by the formula “Land for peace”) stipulates that it is not possible to gain control of territory through land. war. Ergo: Israel must give up “occupied territories” In return, Arab countries should recognize Israel’s right to live in peace with its neighbors.
The process was developed under the direction of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO). Yasser Arafat, Recognizing Israel in exchange for exercising its right to self-determination in the West Bank, East Jerusalem and Gaza. The Israeli government rejects the agreement, considering the “occupied territories” to be part of “its” promised land.
Lebanon War 1982. Killings by the Israeli Army in the Palestinian refugee camps of Sabra and Shatila.
Popular uprising begins in Gaza: The idea that the “Palestinian problem” is solved is fading away. First in December 1987 intifada, a Palestinian rebellion of unarmed disobedience and immediately in the West Bank. The Israeli government uses so-called “force and coup” (Prime Minister Isaac Rabin) but eventually negotiations are held in Oslo (Oslo Accords, 1993). The PLO agrees to recognize Israel in exchange for vague promises: two states. Arafat will finally be virtual puppet from Israel. Palestinian National Authority. The Palestinian perception is that the PNA is a corrupt administration in the service of Israeli governments. The second unarmed intifada in September 2000. Palestine’s new defeat.
2006. Elections in Gaza2.3 million Palestinians live in the West Bank. The United States calls on all parties to present themselves. Former President Jimmy Carter is heading to the region to oversee the elections. Hamas, a Palestinian Islamic fundamentalist movement, unexpectedly won the elections. Israel, the European Union and the United States support the blockade of Gaza. Hillary Clinton will say the government failed to do its job before the election: make sure Hamas doesn’t get elected.
The blockade is terrible. This increases the physical and psychological suffering of the refugee population beyond all borders, as they are punished for poorly electing their representatives. Was everything written about the road? Hamas Would you adopt? Testimonials do not confirm this. Initial approaches showed that Hamas was willing to negotiate. However hostility Israel’s situation will not be temporary. In 2008, Israel will eliminate 1,200 Gazans, including 350 children, destroy 6,300 homes and infrastructure, and lay the foundations for a landscape similar to the one years later – now – drawn by the Allies with their bombing of Dresden, Germany. At the end of World War II.
Support for Hamas from Netanyahu
On the other hand, Binyamin Netayahu would later call on the Likud party in the Knesset to support Hamas. “Anyone who wants to prevent the establishment of a Palestinian state should support the growth of Hamas and transfer money to it. This is part of our strategy: Isolate Palestinians from Gaza “From the West Bank”
There is no need to detail the death toll until October 7, the day Hamas’s military group broke through the steel fence in a cataclysmic military action that killed 1,400 people, most of them civilians. kidnapping 222 people, civilians and soldiers, for the purpose of exchanging them for approximately 5,000 Palestinian prisoners in Israeli prisons.
Israeli historian and sociologist Baruch Kimmerling (1939-2007) described Gaza in 2003 as follows:largest concentration camp in history (Political murder. Ariel Sharon’s war against the Palestinians). Okay this.
Therefore, it is not possible to examine the events of October 7, 2023 as the starting point of what happened or as Holocaust II.
“Unprovoked” events, as Democrat Robert F. Kennedy put it?
Rather, it is the result of habitat policy. As Netanyahu announced on September 22, 2023, while speaking at the UN about the new Middle East and Greater Israel, he was about to sign peace with Saudi Arabia.
