Has the PA exhausted all other options besides negotiations?

Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu has announced that the on-going negotiations with the Palestinians have achieved nothing and are in the same place as when they began. This was also confirmed by the senior Palestinian negotiator after the first round of meetings, but despite this, the negotiations continue at the same time as acts of violation, murder, destruction, and the Judaisation in Jerusalem.

Instead of the Palestinian Authority reconsidering its position after the clear failure of the negotiators, the PA remains in denial and continues to commit crimes against the Palestinian people. This includes incitement against the Gaza Strip and the resistance, participation in the blockade, preventing pilgrims from travelling for Hajj because they are associated with Hamas or Islamic Jihad, as well as cancelling the agreement between the two awqaf ministries.

However, there was a show of strength in Jenin when a rabid arrest campaign of those seeking to support the resistance or those who were members of the resistance groups. There was also an incident at Mujahid al-Saadi’s home, which led to the destruction of his house, furniture and the poor treatment of his family. In addition to this, there were several arrests of Islamic Jihad and Fatah members in Jenin, as well as other West Bank cities, including the arrest of citizens and students, most notably the journalist, Alaa Remawi, who was arrested as he tried to exercise his rights to free speech, which upset those who commit acts of humiliation against the people and have become guards of the occupation.

Who benefits from the PA’s serving of the Zio-American project which aims to protect the occupation at the expense of the rights of those in the Gaza Strip, West Bank and in the other Arab countries? What can the PA gain from all this? The Zionists do not want peace and do not want to give the Palestinians a state, because this enemy does not want any Palestinian inside Palestine. They believe that this land that we are working to protect and to establish a state on rightfully belongs to them. According to their Talmudic Jewish beliefs, our country is Jordan.

Has the PA exhausted all its options and is it left with nothing else but the option of negotiations based on giving up our land and people by acknowledging the enemy and the Jewishness of the state. This will, in turn lead to the displacement of the 1.5 million Palestinians who firmly held on to their land and resisted the attempts to Judaise and Israelise their ideology and culture and to surrender their faith.

The PA still have many options, but there is a need for a strong effort on the PA’s part which will require a change in their convictions. They must also abandon the negotiations that will only bring us shame, the loss of our rights, displacement and catastrophes for the Palestinian people. Abandoning negotiations will mean restoring the Palestinian people’s strength; those who have continued to hold on to their rights and constants and have adopted the approach of resistance as the strategy for liberation.

We will continue to call on Fatah and the PA in Ramallah to go back to its initial position of renouncing the negotiations and reconcile with all the Palestinian forces on the basis of liberation. We are still at the liberation and rifle stage and we must not let it fall or point anywhere else but at our common enemy, which is the Zionist occupation.

We all repeat and urge all the Palestinians to reconsider our position, to meet and ignore all threats, whether they are from the Americans or Israelis. We hope this meeting will take place with the presence of all Palestinian factions in order to develop a mutual Palestinian political strategy based on the fact that we are at the point of liberation, and this requires resistance because there will be no liberation without resistance.
