"Everyone, including
ourselves, believed that America, the merciful mother of the Zionist entity, was
strongly opposed to the eternal dream of the Zionists to take over all of East
Jerusalem. … But it has begun to seem as if the image America has been
projecting is a hoax."
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu: When his government announced plans to build 1,600 new homes on what is widely percieved to be occupied Palestinian land in East Jerusalem, it was a major slap in the face to visiting Vice President Joe Biden.
In the time that
has been lost [negotiating], some have begun to move - not to save Jerusalem from Judaization
and its loss of identity, but to save face after the issue of Jerusalem became a
catastrophic insult to international legitimacy. As is its habit, the Zionist
entity has smashed all international, religious and humanitarian treaties by moving
forward and implementing its plans.
Arabs as usual fell into the
trap, believing that the tension over settlements in Jerusalem between the
Zionist entity and America was real. Everyone, including ourselves, believed
that America, the merciful mother of the Zionist entity, was strongly opposed
to the eternal dream of the Zionists to take over all of East Jerusalem, transforming
a united Jerusalem into the Zionist capital - with a Jewish identity, name and
population.
But the rapid succession of
developments in both American and Zionist arenas and follow-up statements on
Jerusalem by both sides reflect another possibility. Contrary to appearances, it
has begun to seem as if the image America has been projecting toward the
Zionist entity is a hoax. Washington's opposition and strong language quickly shifted
to a mere warning and lecture, which then morphed into an open invitation for
the Zionist entity's prime minister to meet with American President Obama.
All of this comes amid
Zionist statements that insist on going ahead with the Judaization of Jerusalem
and the holy sites, along with continuing with the construction of settlements
in Eastern Jerusalem.
Are all of these events what
they appear to be? Does anyone who knows the history of American allegiance to
the Zionist entity believe that what's happening on the ground is the complete
truth?
Or have hidden and undeclared
agreements been concluded? Are these events just another attempt to fool Arab
and Muslim public opinion? Is this just an anesthetic to get Arab and Muslim
populations to believe that America will protect the holy sites and take upon
itself the defense of Arab and Muslim rights in Jerusalem - as if America were
now the center of a new Caliphate that would look after these rights and protect
the holy sites?
The history of America's
relations with the Zionist entity confirm that recent statements on Jerusalem
and the holy sites, whether they've come from the Zionist entity or America,
merely play around the margins of a script that has been written to serve the objective
of satisfying Zionist interests and anesthetizing public opinion, so that the
Zionist entity will have a new opportunity to impose a policy of “fait accompli”
that it has, with its schemes, pursued all along. [Author appears to refer to
Israel's decades-long policy of creating "facts on the ground" in the
form of settlements that future peace agreements on creating a Palestinians
state would be forced to take into account.]

So we shouldn't be deceived by
these skits - we shouldn’t allow them to cause us to lose focus. The solution for
us is to move forward on the path of resistance by proclaiming our strategic
choice that the holy sites including the Aqsa Mosque will be liberated and Jerusalem
will be returned to us. Let us proclaim that this is our stand, our choice and our
decision, without hoping for the kindness of those, the defense of these
or the protection of others. The facts on the ground prove without doubt
that the only path is the path of resistance, which is also the path of honor
and pride.
A French-Jewish artillery officer, Alfred Dreyfus was wrongly convicted of treason in 1894 and recieved a life sentence until his innocence was proven and he was released in 1896.
[Editor's Note: Although to
many Muslims, the word "Zionism" has taken on a sinister hue, "Zionism"
is a concept popularized by Hungarian Jewish journalist Theodore Herzl in his 1896
book The State of the Jews. In light of Europe's history of cruelty and
marginalization of Jews - and after a French Jewish military officer named Alfred Dreyfus was
accused of spying for Germany and convicted of treason in one of the most
notorious cases of anti-Semitism in French history - Herzl concluded that Jews
would never be accepted in Europe and needed their own homeland. This is the
origin of political Zionism and the drive to create a Jewish state, which culminated in
1948 with the founding of the state of Israel.]
