Arab recklessness and complicity…liquidating the Palestinians instead of liquidating the issue and genocide is the path to a Palestinian state…!

There is no longer any room for diplomacy in this proposal, as two million people endure the most violent air, land and sea bombardments in history, and are subjected to the most severe suffocating siege that also prevents food and medicine throughout history.
These two million people are not on Mars, but rather on a piece of land that has a neighborhood, and the speech of the neighboring countries of Palestine that it is not them who prevent the entry of food and medicine is a devaluation of the spirit of the people and an embellishment of the collusion with the entity, so that it uses food and medicine as a weapon in its aggression against two million people who are the neighbors of these countries, and to “fix” the aggressors on them to exterminate them as it pleases.
Talking about rejecting the move so as not to liquidate the Palestinian cause, as the neighboring countries of Palestine have been doing since the beginning of the entity’s aggression against Gaza, is a purely decorative speech to conceal the entity’s complicity in the crime it is committing against two million people trapped in Gaza.
Rejecting the displacement and preventing the liquidation of the Palestinian cause means confronting those who provoke the displacement and imposing the cessation of their aggression, not preventing those who wanted to save their lives from death through bombing or starvation, and determining the position of confronting the aggression that caused the displacement by preventing the exit of those who wanted to save their lives under the pretext of preventing the liquidation of the Palestinian cause. This literally means: No to the liquidation of the Palestinian cause, the Palestinians can be liquidated!! As for this position, it is the one adopted by Arab governments. This is the saddest position that can be taken towards a crime, because instead of doing something to stop the criminal, it involves confronting the victim by depriving them of their legitimate and legal right to save themselves from death by bombing or starvation, and abandoning the legitimate and moral duty to allow the victim to defend themselves.
Rejecting the displacement and preventing the liquidation of the Palestinian cause can only be done by imposing a halt to the aggression. If Palestine’s neighboring countries are unwilling to do this or unable to stop it, they should not collude with the entity by closely guarding the borders and preventing movement across them. The two million people bombarded by all means and with all weapons and under the ban on food and medicine have the right to defend themselves, to receive food and medicine that will keep them alive, and to receive weapons that will allow them to increase the losses of the aggressive entity until it ceases its aggression.
Gaza does not need help from Arab governments, nor does it need to disdain and downplay aid airdrops, nor does it need anything from these governments. What Gaza needs is for Palestine’s neighboring governments to stop playing the role of guarding the entity’s borders, nothing less, nothing more.
We will not discuss who is besieging Gaza: the entity or the neighboring countries of Palestine? We will not discuss who closes the Rafah crossing: the entity or someone else? We will confirm that whoever is doing this and besieging Gaza is the entity and no one else, but it will not be the only reason or even a fundamental reason for the two million people remaining in Gaza facing genocide. The people have the diet and they have the will to confront the entity and provide the food and medicine that the two million people need to live and survive, and even deliver them weapons to defend themselves and impose an end to the entity’s aggression against them under the influence of the increase in its victims and losses, and the people will do this against the will of the entity if it were. Only those who besiege Gaza.
The entity is besieging Gaza, but the reason why this siege continues and the situation in Gaza is reaching death by starvation is that the entity is not the only one besieging Gaza, but rather the governments of the neighboring countries of Palestine are participating in the siege by not being neutral and leaving the borders for the people to come forward and break the siege of the entity, and they have not done so until now because they are avoiding confrontation with their governments and with the soldiers of their forces who are their own people. However, if the problem was that the siege came only from the entity, it would have lifted its siege yesterday before today.
The positions of the Arab governments are miserable, complicit and scandalous, and it is no longer useful to embellish the misery and ugliness of their positions by talking about refusing to displace the Palestinians and prevent the liquidation of the Palestinian cause, and to blame the accusation of siege on the single entity exposes these countries more than it conceals them, because guarding the borders and preventing their passage in these circumstances is a fundamental contribution to the siege, and it has no other name.
Some are “stupid” in talking about preventing displacement and the liquidation of the Palestinian cause, and “some are having fun” in talking about the struggle for recognition of the Palestinian state, and all this is nothing but complicity and free service to the entity. The first is to embellish the image of complicity that prevents the liquidation of the problem, and the second is to show that there is work for the benefit of the Palestinians and that Arab governments have not abandoned two million people who are being subjected to the most horrible genocide in modern history.
Responsible governments which respect themselves and appreciate their responsibilities, which do not collude with the aggressor and which assume their responsibilities in the fight against genocide, are obliged to adopt a position, not to declare war on the entity and not to enter into confrontation with it in order to put an end to its aggression and the genocide it is practicing against two million besieged people who are annihilated by the entity through bombings and starvation. Everyone knows that Arab governments will not think about this issue as men are supposed to, much less will, and that what they are required to do is not participate. Besiege the victim and stop misleading the public into believing that they are doing something for the benefit of Palestine, ignoring that what is happening now is not that the Palestinian question has not been resolved, but rather that what is happening is a genocide perpetrated against two million people.
Arab governments, especially neighboring countries, must determine their position: either the entity will cease its aggression against the besieged population of Gaza, its bombing of the population and its siege will cease, or it will abandon guarding the borders and leave space for the people to break the siege and bring relief to the neighboring population of Gaza in their own way. Had they done so, the entity’s aggression and siege of Gaza would have stopped immediately.
In the current circumstances, Gaza and the Palestinians do not need Arab governments to minimize their suffering and cover up their complicity by talking about preventing the liquidation of the problem, nor do they need to belittle and cut bridges between capitals to achieve recognition of the State of Palestine at other times. All they need is for those who are victims of the genocide to declare their neutrality, and the rest will be done by the Arab people. They have enough jealousy and oppression against what Gazans are being subjected to to confront the entity’s aggression and put an end to its blatant crimes in record time, and when the crime stops, the diplomats, those preventing the liquidation of the problem and those seeking a two-state solution return to their jobs.
Abdel Ati and Al-Safadi do not need to visit capitals and hold meetings and conferences to warn against the liquidation of the Palestinian cause, and Faisal bin Farhan does not need to carry his Dishdasha and agitate in capitals to achieve recognition of the Palestinian state. They must remain in their offices and declare their position: if the entity does not end its aggression and siege of Gaza, Arab governments will not prevent those of their people who want to reach the borders of Gaza to provide relief and assistance to the people of Gaza.
