The West Bank is boiling and a third intifada is on the verge of happening. There are a number of reasons for this. First, no one believes that a solution to a Palestinian state is possible because the settlements multiply and prevent Palestinian territorial contiguity. Second, the Palestinian Authority is in crisis and the Palestinians in the West Bank do not believe it. Third, Netanyahu’s government does not transfer to them the money it allegedly collected for the PA. Fourth, the violence of the Zionist terrorist settlers is worsening day by day when the Zionist army helps them. Fifth, of the Zionist army, separate from the settlers, carries out terror attacks in the refugee camps and the cities. The sixth: Iran’s victory over American and Zionist imperialism gives a tailwind and the feeling that if the Iranians and Hezbollah can do it, so can the Palestinians.
Two main obstacles are stopping the uprising at this moment. First, the so-called “large-scale operational activity” of the Zionist army forces, and secondly, the security forces of the Palestinian Authority, who cooperate with the Zionist monster. The situation in the West Bank is characterized by many warnings, increased friction, and frequent operations to thwart resistance operations, concentrated mainly in the northern West Bank (Jenin, Tulkarm, and Nablus).
For this reason, the Palestinian anger at this moment is expressed in the actions of individuals and small cells, whether with weapons or by running over settlers and soldiers of the oppressive army.
In the given situation, protest actions such as demonstrations and strikes must be carried out and close engagement with the global pro-Palestinian movement. At the moment there is still no armed revolutionary uprising that will come when there is mass unity, as in the first popular intifada, and there will be a revolutionary leadership that knows how to act at any given moment, and the Palestinian struggle will be part of a regional uprising as in-1936-9, but that failed because there was not revolutionary leadership. The local rulers in the Arab states betrayed and the movement was defeated by the British and Zionist terror.
For a wide resistance movement!
For an elected action committee in every village, refugee camp and city’s quarters!
For national elected leadership based on the action committees
