Young Palestinian Speaks on Nakba Day
May 15, 2016
left, Palestinians, prisoners in their own land
May 15 was "Israel Independence Day" or
"Nakba" the "Day of The Catastrophe"
if you are a Palestinian.
We present the reflections of a Palestinian
college student which reflect the despair
and hopes of his people.
Makow Comment- The day after 9-11, Benjamin Netanyahu said it was "very good" [for Israel.] The Israeli-Palestinian relationship is a model for the Zionist relationship to the whole world: murder, steal, plunder, subvert. Netanyahu- "Israel Must Become a World Power"
Zionists experienced terror so they have made the whole world identify with them by fomenting false flag terror. Everything Israel is doing to the Palestinians, they have also done to Libya, Iraq, Afghanistan and Syria through their sock puppets, the US and NATO. Eventually our turn will come.

The funny thing about the Israeli occupation is the fact that a bunch of people from mostly European ancestry came to a land full of semitic people, killed them, called them anti Semitic, took their land and said that no one was there.
It's incorrect to call this a Palestinian- Israeli conflict. Why? Because a conflict is a tension between two equal sides. A conflict is a problem, a disagreement, an argument which may be resolved. In reality, it's much more than this: It's a settler-colonial cancerous occupation with an orientation towards apartheid, racism and segregation. It's an occupation that wishes to eradicate the true native locals and eliminate them from existence. An occupation cannot be resolved or justified. It's a violation of most basic rights.
Browsing the internet or viewing the TV, especially American, one will get the impression that Palestinians are a bunch of blood thirsty savages that won't leave the poor Jews alone.
When a Palestinian performs a stab attack, he is immediately characterized as a terrorist and a horrible person. Recalling the past, we don't remember anyone calling the people that resisted and fought the Nazi invasion as terrorists, be they Soviet, English, American or other.
Therefore, by what right are Palestinians called terrorists for fighting an illegal occupation that has forcefully taken their land and killed their men, women and even children. Why are Palestinians called terrorist only because they wish to return to the homeland from which they've been forced out? Where is the media when Palestinians are suffering in the refugee camps? Where is the media when Palestinians are brutally killed?
From the beginning of October of 2015, the third intifada has been raging. Many remember the previous two with grief and sorrow. Countless Palestinian houses in the west-bank were "visited" by the Israeli "Defense" force during the second intifada. Schools were shut down, streets were drowned with blood and sprinkled with bullets. Many offices and stores were broken down; many people were robbed and harassed by the Israelis.
(Pregnant young woman and brother posed no threat)
Almost each family in Palestine has a member that was killed, imprisoned or harassed by Israel. Many families have more than one member which have been killed or imprisoned. The wounds of the second intifada haven't healed, yet the mighty Palestinian body endures more wounds from the third. The word intifada it's self means uprising, rebellion or revolt.
The trigger of the second intifada was when Ariel Sharon "made a visit to the temple mount" in Jerusalem. The location contains very important and holy Muslim monuments like the Aqsa Mosque and the Dome of the Rock. After the incident, demonstrations and revolts started, which later evolved into much more than that.
It isn't wise to ask about the reason of the third intifada. There is no need for a reason to fight the occupation, the cancerous invasion which has plagued our land. The agenda of the Israeli violations of the Palestinian rights contains an endless list of entries. The constant killing of Palestinians, the wars on Gaza killing countless people, the numerous imprisonments of innocent Palestinians, the prevention of Muslims from visiting the temple mount and the religious shrines and monuments within it.... That's to name a few.
Moreover, the violent and extremist acts of the Israelis will shock you in their resemblance to the Nazi behavior. On second of July 2014, young Mohammad Abu Khdier, a 16 year old boy, was kidnapped and burned alive by Israelis, his cousin was beaten up.
In late July 2015, the Dawabsheh family was burned alive in their home. The mother, the father and the 18 month child died. Only young Ahmad survived with 60% burns.
The first person to start the third intifada was brave Muhannad Al Halabi, left, who went into stabbing then shooting the Israelis in the old city of Jerusalem. His name literary translates as the sword. After him, many young people and patriotic Palestinians went to do the same. They died as heroes and they will never be forgotten. On the other hand, many Palestinians with no intention of stab attacks were brutally shot down by Israelis at different checkpoints. Video proofs show how the IDF would throw the knives onto the victim's body after the victim died. Many young Palestinians both men and women would be brutally killed this way.
Some may say that it is okay to stab Israeli military, but not okay to stab Israeli civilians. However, if you think about it, every person in Israel, man or women attends military service. In other words, the entire Israeli population has undergone military training and is ready to kill. Moreover, there are newcomer settlers that move into illegal Israeli settlements as we speak.
These settlers are the very heart of this occupation, they enjoy very sophisticated privileges and subsidies at the cost of Palestinian lives and land. The fact that they are occupying the land of people who have been driven off and killed doesn't seem to bother them, so they are no different from the cold heart IDF soldiers.
PEACEFUL ISRAELIS IMPOTENT
Yes, there are good Israelis that want to live peacefully with Palestinians; but that's it, they only want, but they seldom do anything to achieve peace. It's one thing to talk about peace while sitting in a comfortable house and driving a good car, while enjoying a good economic welfare whereas the other side is barely functioning in a refugee camp with a corrupt government and a difficult economic situation caused by the occupation.
And it's another thing to actually do something about achieving peace. The minimum wage in Palestine is less than half the minimum wage in Israel, yet Palestinians are forced to pay Israeli prices. There are no job opportunities in Palestine, no proper pension system. The financial and judicial systems are weak and corrupt.
There is a government, but it feels like it does almost nothing. While the Israelis want peace in their spare time, we are struggling to survive the occupation and the rotting government. We don't hate Israelis; we know they were born here and it's not like they chose this option. The Israelis responsible for our occupation are already dead, yet the Israeli government, army and Zionist extremists won't stop at anything to completely eradicate us.
It's either the Israeli civilians will revolt against the army and the government to end the segregation and to allow Palestinians to have their land back as well as give them their right to return, after which we can coexist together, or we will have to take back our land with our own blood and flesh.
The first option is unlikely... The way I see it is that at some point in time we will muster the strength to liberate our land and free ourselves from this occupation; and when we finally have our free country, we will give the Israelis the option to either leave or stay and coexist with us under our hopefully fair rule. In fact, some religious scholars and researchers have found an encoded date for the destruction of Israel in the Quran, the date points towards the year 2022.
The world must realize that Israel is depriving us of our basic human rights; they simply treat us like animals. The segregation wall has torn apart many Palestinians families. Palestinians need a special permit to visit Jerusalem and other parts of the occupied land, which violates our elementary right of self-identification within the borders of our homeland.
The checkpoints prevent us from moving around freely. Those checkpoints humiliate us and degrade us as human beings. The occupation also seeks the chance to strike and destroy the much admired and important right for education in Palestine. Checkpoints hinder the students trying to get to their schools. The IDF frequently imprisons politically active college students. The Israeli military breaks into Palestinian colleges and damages the equipment and the property of the university.
Disguised as Palestinian protestors, the IDF unlawfully jails Palestinian students and youths. Israeli soldiers will also shoot, hit and harass Palestinians men and women. They use tear gas and chemical water pumps against protests. As if that wasn't enough, Israel will demolish the houses of Palestinians who participated in stab attacks or other action involving violence against Israel. The IDF does not distinguish between child and adult, man and woman, they will equally hurt everyone. The Israeli government does not need an excuse to jail or kill anyone.
HOPE
Despite all the darkness bred by Israel, we must resist and never lose hope. If you feel sympathy towards us Palestinians, you can help us and support us by spreading the truth. Another way to hurt Israel is by boycotting all of its products as well as boycotting all the multinational companies that support Israel.
We Palestinians are simple people who want to live in dignity and honor, but as long as Israel and the Zionist world order exists, we will all suffer and despair. Together, hand to hand, shoulder to shoulder we will fight for what good is left in this world, for love, for family, for history, for tradition, for honor, for homeland but most importantly for our religion and faith in god, for which we live and die.
Ahead of us is a dark and difficult time, after which will come a day of bliss and happiness when the rays of light will shatter the dark clouds, and we will finally see the sun.

First Comment by HA from Yemen
Can anyone with the weight of a grain of mustard seed of heart not see the humane and humility in this article? Nearly 70 years of barbaric occupation, expansion and aggression and most Palestinians still see hope of co-existing with these non-repenting vampires known as government and settlers of the Zionist entity,
Don't be naive, my friend. These parasitic creatures didn't come to Palestine for their tender hearts and ability to co-exist with others. They came because they believe themselves chosen to be isolated and above all.
What was taken by force will only be re-taken by force. On that note; I'd like to reassure the writer that, a new power is rising and that it's victory is within reach.
In less than 10 years from now. This will all be a thing of the past.
'Shuayb Ibn Saleh' (a fierce young military leader in end of times) and The Mahdi are both from Yemen and ready to assume their roles. Hence the blockade and massacre of the Yemenis by Zionists and their supposed 'Arab' whore leaders like King Abdullah II (Sufyani) of Jordan.
Also...
The true army of the black banners (Afghan Taliban?) from Khorasan (Region comprising 5 nations, most of which present day Afghanistan) are monitoring sings and prophesy and it too, will mobilize when Al-Mahdi sends his army commander, 'Shuayb', to lead this army on a March that will see them unstopped until they reach Juersalme.
Yemen(Al-Mahdi, Al-Yemani[al-houthi] and Shuayb Ibn Saleh, Abyan Army), Syria (40 Abdal/Saints) and Khorasan(Army of Black Banner) are key to liberating Palestine. It's no wonder why these regions are crippled, in way or another, by western/Zionist sponsored occupation, terrorism, intervention or political meddling
It is what it is. Kept patient. We are on the move. Yemen is the starting point.

Dear Brother from Yemen,
Was it not our prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) who showed mercy to the blasphemers of Makah who tormented, harassed and violated him and the Muslims in every possible way. Was it not Salah El Deen who showed mercy to the crusaders that surrendered to him.
We are not naive, we know this occupation far better than anyone. But when we reclaim our land, what do we do to their women and children?What do we do to those of them who surrendered? Do we execute them? Of course not, we will show them the mercy they haven't showed us, because we are better than this. If they wish to leave, they can do so. If they wish to stay, then they can stay under our rule and thus must abide to our laws. Don't forget that the new generation of Israel was born and raised here. Their society lied to them and deceived them, it's not their fault. I will however, fight them because it's inevitable and it's not like they will believe the truth. On the other hand, there will be some of them that will surrender. Maybe by showing them mercy, we can open their eyes and show them the truth.
My dear brother, I am sure that victory is near. I know that the likes of you are working day and night to bring an end to this treacherous occupation. Rest assured, we Palestinians are deeply rooted in this land and we wont give it up. We will stay here even if it costs us our lives. It is by the sacrifices of Palestinians that this land hasn't been completely tainted by the Israelis.
One day, me and you and the rest of Muslims and followers of Allah will stand together shoulder to shoulder against this horrible plague, be sure I will lay down my life for you and the likes of you who haven't given up on us. Allah be with you!

To my brothers and sisters in Islam of Palestine.
Do know that we Muslims in Malaysia are with you and we do what we can to support you ( of course it will never do justice to the suffering that our brothers and sisters are subjected to by the Israelis , lakanatullah alaihim)
We too are waiting and we shall sacrifice our flesh and blood and the flesh of our sons and their sons to free the Holy land.
Our hearts are broken by the suffering of our mothers , father , sisters and brothers in Palestine… but our hearts are mended again as we smile and know with conviction that either ways , success is with you!
If not in this temporary world , then in Jannah !
