Palestine has not given up its claim in six decades of disaster
May 15. National Disaster Day for Palestinians. Palestinian anti-colonial liberators have been observing this catastrophe day for six decades. On this day in 1948, with the direct help of the West, especially the British, the Zionists, who had been expelled from Europe, established the state of Israel on Palestinian soil. As a result, millions of Palestinian ancestors have to be uprooted. Palestinians took refuge in neighboring countries to save their lives. Many Palestinian refugees have lived in inhumane conditions in the refugee camps, halfway through unemployment and the onslaught of winter. Those who could not escape were taken prisoner by the occupiers in open prisons or crushed by Israeli forces. Although the world has changed dramatically in the last six decades, the plight of the Palestinians has not ended. The plight of the nation is reflected in the voice of the Palestinian national poet Mahmoud Darwish.
What is the value of a person who has no homeland,
There is no flag, no address, what is the value of such people, tell me?
The Arabic word ‘nakba’ literally means disaster, catastrophe, sudden misfortune. Yasser Arafat, the protagonist of the Palestinian movement, declared May 15 as Nakba Day, the day of the Palestinian catastrophe, in 1998, as the state of Israel was preparing to celebrate the 50th anniversary of its occupation. The Zionists formed the state of Israel by occupying about 80 percent of Palestinian land, evicting about 800,000 people, and destroying thousands of Palestinian villages. It was not easy for Arafat to make this announcement. Arafat made the announcement to strengthen the anti-colonial movement against the destruction of Israel amid deteriorating health and captivity. Every year, anti-imperialist and anti-colonial people around the world celebrate this day to express their condolences to the exiled Palestinians.
Since the beginning of the Israeli eviction campaign in 1945, unarmed Palestinians have been living in exile in many parts of the world. Life in exile in the refugee camps, starvation, deprivation could not erase the motherland Palestine from their minds. A strong voice against Orientalism and colonialism, Edward Saeed, himself a Palestinian refugee, described his love for his country and the plight of Palestinians evicted by Israel in Reflection on Exile and Other Essays. Saeed's attempt to express the plight of the Palestinians who lost their homeland is fulfilled in another book, Nakba: Palestine, 1948, and the Claims of Memory, by another world-renowned anthropologist, Leila Abu Lug. In this book, Abu Lugad uses the Oral History method to evoke the love and remembrance of the departed Palestinians for the motherland. He brought up a picture of independent Palestine. Following in the footsteps of Saeed and Lugad, the famous Israeli historian Ilan Pepe describes the killing, plundering, and torture of Israeli soldiers in his book, The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine. Pepe was once a member of the Israeli army. He also has experience of direct war against the Arabs. But the constant persecution of the state of Israel has turned him against his homeland. Edward Said has become the voice of the Palestinians on the next world stage. He continues to advocate for Palestinian refugees in a world of mischief.
According to the United Nations, there are between six and nine million Palestinians living in hundreds of refugee camps around the world, including in the Middle East. However, the UN agency UNRWA has limited the number of refugees to 60 to 70 million. Palestine crowds are high in Syria, Lebanon, Egypt, and Jordan. Beyond the Middle East, Latin America is also home to a large proportion of Palestinian refugees. More than half a million Palestinian refugees live in Chile alone. In the aftermath of the 1967 war, with the help of the West, the Israeli government blocked the return of Palestinian refugees forever. The United Nations has also repeatedly called on the West to improve the living standards of refugees. In the hope of gaining the goodwill of the West, the Arab countries have granted Palestinian citizenship. Second, the United States has become a partner in the endless war on terror in the Middle East. In fact, these two policies have also paved the way for the state of Israel to legitimize colonialism.
Israel has occupied about 80 percent of Palestinian land, including Jerusalem. The world's most powerful nations, from the United States to the British, are all silent allies of the Israeli occupation. But the West's unwavering support did not dampen Israel's fears. That is why Israel is constantly chasing the political recognition of the Arabs. Behind Israel's attempt to gain recognition is the practice of a cultural tradition of the Arabs. Those who are familiar with Arab culture, in general, know that there is a widespread practice of written history as well as oral history among the Arabs. From that place of practice, the lost Arabs have been preserving the keys to their houses for generations, naming their neighborhoods, villages, and cities after the new generation of children. At the same time, it has verbally named its current settlement, refugee camp, or territory after a village left in Palestine. He has been preserving the genealogy for hundreds of year.
Despite living in other countries, Palestinians still identify themselves as Palestinians. Although Israel succeeded in ousting the Palestinians with arms, it did not suppress the Palestinians in terms of sentiment and history. This unwavering love of the Palestinians for their homeland and the fear of Israel in the study of history. So the officials of the state of Israel think that this unconditional love of the Palestinians for the motherland can bring the Palestinians back to Palestine. It could threaten the occupation and the legitimacy of the state of Israel.
The United States has been pushing for a two-state solution to alleviate the suffering of the Palestinians. But whenever the Palestinians sit at the negotiating table, the Israelis occupy new land. Understanding occupation and the use of terrorism could be a meaningful case study of Palestinian-Israeli anthropology. The Jews in Europe, who have been the victims of genocide and social boycott, have again expelled the Palestinians from their homeland in a short period of time. Israel has given proof in Palestine of how the oppressed became oppressors. The concentration camps still exist, only the identity of the oppressed group has changed. The Jews have been replaced by the Palestinians. Spielberg did not make movies about Palestinian refugees, did not show them in the big cities of the West, but the Palestinians will survive in the minds and struggles of thousands of revolutionaries fighting against imperialism, racism, and the
fundamentalist state system in the world.
