On Sunday, foreign ministers of the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Morocco, Egypt American and the Zionist counterparts met at the Sde Boker farm in southern Israel, where Israel’s first Prime Minister Ben Gurion who was responsible for the Nakba, lived.
In the last years, a number of Arab autocrats, threatened by the Arab Spring, normalized relations with Israel under American pressure ignoring the oppressed conquered Palestinians, in open betrayal. The aim of this summit is to form a military alliance against Iran and its allies and against the people of Western sub-Sahara led in their struggle for independence from Morocco by the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic Polisario Front.
Like the Ukrainian people who are gambits in the new cold war between, Western and Eastern imperialists, so are the Palestinians and the Sahrawi people who have the right to their own state respectively.
This summit is founded on the rejection of a possible new nuclear accord between American imperialism and Iran. Israeli Prime Minister Bennett has announced that this accord does not oblige Israel that will act to sabotage Iran’s nuclear program, and will fight to curtail Iran’s influence in Lebanon, Syria, Yemen and the Hamas.
Even the rotten Palestinian authority denounced the summit.
“Israel is taking advantage of Arabs’ fear of Iran to divert attention from its actions on the ground and “liquidate” the Palestinian issue, the Palestinian Authority said Sunday in an implicit reference to the Negev Summit. The PA and other Palestinian groups also expressed concern over the apparent emergence of an Arab-Israeli military alliance in the Middle East.But while the PA refrained from criticizing the four Arab countries participating in the summit – the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Morocco and Egypt – several Palestinian groups, including Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad, strongly condemned the gathering, dubbing it a “summit of shame.” [1]
This is the background to the guerrilla action in Hadera when two Palestinian citizens of Israel supporters of the Islamic State (IS) shot two border policemen and were shot dead by Zionist police officers who happened to be at a restaurant nearby.
“They were slated to dine on slow-cooked lamb from Golan Heights and Jerusalem artichoke soup while they listened to Arab Israeli singer Valerie Hamate perform “Hallelujah” in English, Arabic, and Hebrew.All the good vibes came to a sudden end at 8:30 pm, when two Islamic State supporters from Umm al-Farm opened fire on a main street in Had era, killing two police officers and wounding several more Israelis. The musical performance was canceled, and there was no reception in front of the cameras for US Secretary of State Antony Blinken when he arrived well after 10 pm” [2]
Israel that does not differentiate between guerrilla action against the repressive armed body of the state apparatus and terror aimed against uninvolved civilians as happened in Beersheba. a day before claims of course that it was a terrorist act.
While we oppose the killing of uninvolved civilians as it used by the Zionist state to further attack the Palestinians, we do not have any tear for the death of the two border guards in Hadera. Oppressed people have the right to fight with weapons against the oppressors.
The US Secretary Antony Blinken who praises the brave Ukrainians fighting the occupying Russian army also wrote in his twitter:
“We condemn today’s terrorist attack in Hadera, Israel. Such senseless acts of violence and murder have no place in society. We stand with our Israeli partners and send our condolences to the families of the victims“.
The government of Israel already announced that it will build 10 new Jewish cities south of Beersheba in areas the Bedouins of the Negev claim, and the fascist Ben Gevir is organizing a far-right armed militia with the blessing of the Mayor of Beersheba. and the Israeli government where the Islamist United Arab List (Ra’am) that won votes of the Bedouins of the Negev is a partner.
Down with Russian, US and NATO imperialism!
Victory for the Ukrainians’ and the Palestinians’ struggle for Freedom!
