Palestine's Long Struggle: From Brutality to Rebuilding Hope

When the smoke and stench of death finally clears Gaza and Rafah, a future cease-fire will mark not just the end of the brutality and misery of a genocide where the atrocities committed were far worse than those enacted by Nazi Germany – it will be the beginning of a journey toward rebuilding and redefining a nation.

And when the slaughter does come to an end, it will be the Palestinian people who will emerge victorious from the ravishes of an insane leadership – who reference the Torah to justify a genocide they define as ‘Amalek’.

It’s that level of insanity that highlights what has really been taking place since the Nakba of 1948, and even before, with the Balfour declaration, over the Palestinians, with the portrayal of a lie propagated by the Israeli’s and demented political Zionistic ideology of regional and global dominance.

Zionism and its insanity had the entire world believing the Palestinians were terrorists hellbent on the death and destruction of Israel.

As disturbing as it sounds, Hamas’s invasion of Gaza, and its inevitability was the nexus needed to awaken the world to the real Israel.

The world through the lens of social media was immersed in the truth of reality. Israel no longer was able to cover its hideous evil and murderous brutality with sanctified lies of self-defence.

The transparency and immediacy of social media exposed many and various narratives, forcing the world to reassess its long-held distorted views of the Palestinians.

Palestinians have been much a victim of global ignorance and gullibility as they have been of Israeli terror, horror and subjugation.

Decades of brutality and oppression has fomented a level of resilience few races have had to endure. When a cease fire is declared, the Palestinian people will be poised to reconstruct their lives, communities, and the very identity of their nation.

The decades-long struggle has seen hundreds of thousands of Palestinians slaughtered and dehumanised, and those who will have survived the horrors of brutality and destruction will be the champions to their martyrs.

However, while the genocidal terror of Palestinians continues to intensify, with ongoing military actions pointing towards further operations in Gaza, particularly targeting Rafah, the situation remains far from concluding.

Ethnic cleansing and genocide have escalated tensions, drawing severe and extreme criticism from the international community.

The Israeli government's deranged strategy has sparked a global outcry about the humanitarian implications for the Palestinian people, particularly in Gaza, where the impacts of the conflict are most acutely felt.

The ongoing genocide underlines the immediate and urgent need for international intervention and support for civilians caught in the crossfire. Israel’s operations in areas like Rafah not only threaten the lives of countless Palestinians but also complicate future peace efforts - each passing day, sees the fabric of Gaza face the threat of unravelling further, challenging any efforts at normalcy or rebuilding.

The Gaza wall, like Berlin Wall will inevitably come down – it has become a symbol of the conflict’s entrenched divisions. It has neither eradicated Hamas nor facilitated the return of hostages, while exacerbating the humanitarian situation in Gaza. But what it has done has helped in the fall of Israel and the loss of the war as well as lead to a dramatic shift in international perceptions.

There’s a pressing call for Israel to re-evaluate its approach towards Gaza and consider the barbarity of its actions. The ongoing genocide and the harsh realities on the ground underscore the necessity for a significant shift in strategy, from military engagement to genuine sustainable peace negotiations.

Despite the grim present, the hope for a post-conflict Palestine remains. However, its only grim for now.

A future where governance reforms, international support, economic and cultural revival, and a focus on sustainable development are more than just aspirations—they are imperative for peace and stability.

The international community’s role in advocating for cessation of hostilities and supporting rebuilding efforts is crucial.

The path to rebuilding and redefining lives in Gaza and the broader Palestinian territories is fraught with challenges, particularly as hostilities continue.

The repercussions of the conflict extend beyond the immediate geographic and political confines of Gaza and Israel. The international community finds itself at a crossroads, pressured by public opinion that is increasingly shaped by the vivid, real-time updates from the ground via social media platforms.

Social media hasn’t only changed the landscape of media coverage but have also empowered voices that were once marginalized in the narrative of the conflict. And because of social media, there’s a growing movement among nations to hold accountable those they view as war criminals and violators of international law and human rights.

At the same time, within the Palestinian territories, there is a burgeoning sense of solidarity and a reinvigoration of national identity. Young leaders are emerging, galvanized by the trials and tribulations of their people.

Its these leaders who are advocating not only for resistance against oppression but also for an overwhelming transformation within their society that embraces democracy, human rights, and peace as foundational principles.

It’s a shift that is reflective of broader generational change that could redefine the strategies and goals of the Palestinian cause.

Despite the severe adversity, there’s palpable hope among Palestine’s youth that they will be the architects of a new Palestine, one honouring the sacrifices of its past while forging a path towards a sustainable and peaceful future.

The inevitability of Palestine becoming an Independent State free of Israeli rule, will happen and through the sorrow and darkness of the slaughter and decades of oppression, Palestine now stands on the brink of a new era, the challenges are many but so are the opportunities, while Israel because of the madness of Netanyahu and Zionist ideology get kicked to the kerb.
