Gaza Between Dubious Alliances and the Betrayal of Arab Rulers

Gaza Between Dubious Alliances and the Betrayal of Arab Rulers

Since the birth of the Palestinian cause, Gaza has remained a symbol of resilience and an open wound in the heart of the Arab world. Yet what we see on the political stage today reveals both hidden and public alliances whose goal is not to protect Palestinian rights, but to bury them once and for all. Some Arab regimes have entered into open or covert relations with the Zionist entity, justifying them with economic, security, or political pretexts, but in reality, they weaken the unified Arab position and hand the occupation a golden opportunity to impose its agenda.

These alliances are not merely political friendships; they are tools of pressure on the resistance and attempts to push the Palestinian people toward incomplete solutions or agreements that entrench the occupation and strip the cause of its historical and human meaning. In this equation, Gaza becomes a bargaining chip that some rulers wave in their negotiations with major powers, instead of being a banner of honor and the defense of dignity.

The Palestinian Cause… The Honor of Every Arab and the Open Wound of the Nation

The Palestinian cause is not a matter of borders or a dispute over a piece of land; it is a matter of identity, dignity, and existence. Palestine represents in the Arab consciousness a symbol of unity and a struggle of truth against falsehood. Defending it is not the duty of Palestinians alone, but of every Arab who sees freedom and justice as values that cannot be compromised.

Official Arab complacency stands in stark contrast to the deep-rooted popular awareness that this land—with its history, heritage, and faith—is a trust upon the shoulders of every Arab and Muslim, and indeed every free human being in this world. The peoples who witness the tragedy daily—seeing the blood of children and women spill, and houses leveled to the ground—understand that silence is a crime and that words alone are not enough.

The Ongoing Massacre: Systematic Genocide and the Destruction of What Remains of Gaza

What is happening in Gaza today is not a war in the traditional sense; it is a systematic act of genocide. The bombing does not distinguish between civilian and fighter, and the siege deprives people of food, medicine, electricity, and water. All of this happens before the eyes of the world, under the silence of international organizations that suffice with timid statements of condemnation.

This genocide is not a sudden event; it is the continuation of a decades-long policy aimed at forcing the people of Gaza into surrender or exile. The occupation knows that Gaza is the heart of the resistance, and that breaking its will means weakening the cause as a whole. This is why it wages a total war against every aspect of life there.

Media Blackout… The Hidden Weapon to Conceal the Crime

When photos and videos stop coming out of Gaza, it does not mean the bombing has stopped—it means the machinery of blackout has begun its work. The occupation constantly seeks to prevent the truth from reaching global public opinion, because an image can move what words cannot.

Today, this media blackout is not only the work of the occupation; social media platforms also impose restrictions on pro-Palestinian content, and international media outlets bow to the policies of their financiers. This battle over the narrative is sometimes more dangerous than the battle over land, because whoever controls the narrative controls the world’s awareness.

The Day the World May Ask: Where Is the Palestinian People?

There is a real fear that the world may one day wake up to find that the Palestinian people’s presence in their own land has shrunk to the point of disappearance. Forced displacement, siege, and mass killing are all tools aimed at achieving this outcome. At that moment, the occupation would be in a position to declare: “This is a land without a people,” the same phrase the Zionists have used since the start of their colonial project.

However, even if this catastrophic scenario were to occur, history teaches us that peoples do not die as long as someone carries their cause. The cause is not tied solely to geographical presence, but to awareness, memory, and struggle.

The “Land Without a People” Plan… Reproducing the Zionist Lie

From the very beginning of the Zionist project, the slogan “A land without a people for a people without a land” was one of the most dangerous lies propagated by the occupation. This lie found believers—or at least silent accomplices—in the West, but it could not withstand historical facts and documents proving that Palestine was full of its people, its cities, its villages, its markets, its mosques, and its churches.

Today, the occupation seeks to reproduce this lie by erasing the Palestinian presence in practice, then promoting the idea that this land is a “natural” possession of Israel. This is not just a war on the land, but a war on memory, identity, and historical rights.

Hope in the People of Will and the Cause from All Nations

Despite everything happening, there remains a spark of hope. There are those who stand by the Palestinian cause from all parts of the world, not out of religious or national belonging, but out of faith in justice and human rights. These activists and free people form a global solidarity network capable of exposing the crimes of the occupation and putting pressure on governments and international institutions.

True hope lies in the continuation of these efforts, in unifying the Palestinian internal front, and in reviving the Arab awareness that Palestine is not a burden, but the ultimate measure of honor and dignity.

Why the Cause Will Not End the Way They Want

The Palestinian cause will not end, because rights do not expire with time, and because every new generation of Palestinians is born carrying the memory and determination of their forefathers. No matter the power of the occupation, and no matter the scale of international or regional complicity, the idea of freedom and return will remain alive.

The occupation can demolish houses, but it cannot demolish belief in the right. It can kill the body, but it cannot kill the idea. And as long as there are free peoples and voices refusing injustice, the Palestinian cause will remain present, and Gaza will remain a symbol of resilience, no matter how fierce the storms
