Le Hamas publie un rapport de 20 pages pour présenter sa version des faits sur l’attaque du 7 octobre contre Israël

Le mouvement du "Hamas" a publié un rapport exhaustif, affirmant présenter "sa version des faits" sur l'opération "Al-Aqsa Flood" du 7 octobre, une initiative dirigée contre Israël et qui a entrainé la mort de 1140 personnes. Plongeons dans les détails de ce rapport pour mieux comprendre la perspective du Hamas.mise à jour 

le 22/01/24

Le rapport du Hamas sur l’Opération Al-Aqsa Flood expose sa vision du conflit israélo-palestinien, soulignant le droit à l’autodéfense palestinien, rejetant les allégations israéliennes et appelant à une enquête internationale.

Un Retour sur l’Histoire

Le rapport s’ouvre sur une analyse historique, soulignant le conflit séculaire entre le peuple palestinien et Israël. Il met l’accent sur les 105 années de lutte, englobant les périodes de colonialisme britannique et d’occupation sioniste. Le Hamas revendique son droit à la résistance, citant les décennies de violations des droits palestiniens, notamment la saisie de terres et les expulsions.

« En 1918, le peuple palestinien possédait 98,5% des terres, représentant 92% de la population sur le territoire de la Palestine. »

Les Affirmations du Hamas

Le rapport réfute catégoriquement les allégations israéliennes selon lesquelles l’opération du 7 octobre aurait délibérément ciblé des civils. Le Hamas insiste sur le fait que ses actions visaient des sites militaires israéliens, soulignant l’objectif de libérer les Palestiniens détenus.

« L’Operation Al-Aqsa Flood a ciblé les sites militaires israéliens, cherchant à faire pression sur les autorités israéliennes pour obtenir la libération des milliers de Palestiniens détenus. Nous avons évité de porter atteinte aux civils, en particulier les enfants, les femmes et les personnes âgées car c’est une obligation religieuse et morale des combattants des brigades al-Qassam. »

Le Hamas insiste sur le fait que son conflit est avec le projet sioniste, pas avec les Juifs en raison de leur religion. Il rejette l’idée de lier le judaïsme et les Juifs à ce projet colonial.

Appel à une Enquête Internationale

Le Hamas appelle la Cour pénale internationale (CPI) à une enquête transparente sur les crimes de guerre présumés. Il critique également certaines grandes puissances, les accusant de soutenir Israël et d’entraver la quête de justice.

« Nous exhortons les pays comme les États-Unis, l’Allemagne, le Canada et le Royaume-Uni à soutenir pleinement l’enquête sur tous les crimes commis en Palestine occupée. »

Le Hamas et la Légitimité de la Résistance

Le rapport défend la légitimité du Hamas en tant que mouvement de libération nationale, s’appuyant sur le droit palestinien à l’autodéfense, à la libération et à l’autodétermination. Il souligne la répression israélienne et la souffrance persistante du peuple palestinien.

« La résistance armée est un droit légitime reconnu par les lois internationales, y compris les Conventions de Genève et les résolutions de l’ONU. »

Appels à l’Action et Conclusions

Le rapport conclut en appelant à l’arrêt immédiat de l’agression israélienne, à la responsabilité légale de l’occupation, et à un soutien mondial à la résistance palestinienne.

« Nous exigeons l’arrêt immédiat de l’agression israélienne sur Gaza et appelons les superpuissances à cesser de soutenir Israël comme un État au-dessus des lois. »

Rappel 

À l’heure actuelle, les bombardements israéliens ont coûté la vie à plus de 24 448 personnes, dont plus de 5 350 enfants et au moins 3 250 femmes. Les blessures s’élèvent à près de 61 504 personnes, parmi lesquelles 8 663 enfants, tandis que des milliers d’autres restent portés disparus. Les femmes et les enfants représentent 70 % des victimes, faisant de la bande de Gaza le lieu le plus dangereux au monde pour un enfant.

Our Narrative… Operation Al-Aqsa Flood3
.1 1- The battle of the Palestinian people against occupation
and colonialism did not start on Oct. 7, but started 105
years ago, including 30 years of British colonialism and 75
years of Zionist occupation. In 1918, the Palestinian people
owned 98.5% of the Palestine land and represented 92% of
the population on the land of Palestine. While the Jews, who
were brought to Palestine in mass immigration campaigns
in coordination between the British colonial authorities
and the Zionist Movement, managed to seize control of
not more than 6% of the lands in Palestine and to be 31%
of the population prior to 1948 when the Zionist Entity was
announced on the historic land of Palestine. At that time,
the Palestinian people were denied from the right to self-
determination and the Zionist gangs engaged in an ethnic
cleansing campaign against the Palestinian people aimed
at expelling them from their lands and areas. As a result,
the Zionist gangs seized control by force of 77% of the
land of Palestine where they expelled 57% of the people
of Palestine and destroyed over 500 Palestinian villages
and towns, and committed dozens of massacres against
the Palestinians which all culminated in the establishment
of the Zionist Entity in 1948. Moreover, in continuation of
the aggression, the Israeli forces in 1967 occupied the rest
of Palestine including the West Bank, the Gaza Strip and
Jerusalem in addition to Arab territories around Palestine.
.2 2- Over these long decades, the Palestinian people
suffered all forms of oppression, injustice, expropriation
of their fundamental rights and the apartheid policies.
The Gaza Strip, for example, suffered as of 2007 from a
First
Why Operation Al-Aqsa Flood?
Our Narrative… Operation Al-Aqsa Flood4
suffocating blockade over 17 years which turned it to be the largest open-air prison
in the world. The Palestinian people in Gaza also suffered from five destructive wars\
aggressions all of which “Israel” was the offending party. The people in Gaza in 2018
also initiated the Great March of Return demonstrations to peacefully protest the Israeli
blockade, their misery humanitarian conditions and to demand their right-to-return.
However, the Israeli occupation forces responded to these protests with brutal force by
which 360 Palestinians were killed and 19,000 others were injured including over 5,000
children in a matter of few months.
.3 According official figures, in the period between (January 2000 and September 2023), the
Israeli occupation killed 11,299 Palestinians and injured 156,768 others, the great majority
of them were civilians. Unfortunately, the US administration and its allies did not pay
attention to the suffering of the Palestinian people over the past years but provided cover
to the Israeli aggression. They only lamented the Israeli soldiers who were killed on Oct. 7
even without seeking the truth of what happened, and wrongfully walked behind the Israeli
narrative in condemning an alleged targeting of Israeli civilians. The US administration
provided the financial and military support to the Israeli occupation massacres against the
Palestinian civilians and the brutal aggression on the Gaza Strip, and still the US officials
continue to ignore what the Israeli occupation forces commit in Gaza of mass killing.
.4 The Israeli violations and brutality were documented by many UN organizations and
international human rights groups including Amnesty International and Human Rights
Watch, and even documented by Israeli human rights groups. However, these reports and
testimonies were ignored and the Israeli occupation is yet to be held accountable. For
example, on Oct. 29, 2021, Israel’s Ambassador to the UN Gilad Erdan insulted the UN system
by tearing up a report for the UN Human Rights Council during an address at the General
Assembly, and threw it in a dustbin before leaving the podium. Yet, he was appointed in the
following year – 2022 – to the post of vice-president of the UN General Assembly.
.5 The US administration and its western allies have always been treating Israel as a state
above the law; they provide it with the needed cover to maintain prolonging the occupation
and cracking down the Palestinian people, and also allowing “Israel” to exploit such situation
to expropriate further Palestinian lands and to Judaize their sanctities and holy sites. Despite
the fact that the UN had issued more than 900 resolutions over the past 75 years in favor of
the Palestinian people, “Israel” rejected to abide by any of these resolutions, and the US VETO
was always present at the UN Security Council to prevent any condemnation to “Israel’s”
policies and violations. That’s why we see the US and other western countries complicit
Our Narrative… Operation Al-Aqsa Flood5
and partners to the Israeli occupation in its crimes and in the continued suffering of the
Palestinian people.
.6 As for “the peaceful settlement process”. Despite the fact that the Oslo Accords signed in 1993
with the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) stipulated the establishment of a Palestinian
independent state in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip; “Israel” systematically destroyed
every possibility to establish the Palestinian state through a wide campaign of settlements’
construction and Judaization of the Palestinian lands in the occupied West Bank and Jerusalem.
The backers of the peace process after 30 years realized that they have reached an impasse
and that such process had catastrophic results on the Palestinian people.
The Israeli officials confirmed at several occasions their absolute rejection to the
establishment of a Palestinian state. Just one month before Operation Al-Aqsa Flood,
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu presented a map of a so-called “New Middle
East,” depicting “Israel” stretching from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea
including the West Bank and Gaza. The entire world at that – UN General Assembly’s
- podium were silent towards his speech full of arrogance and ignorance towards the
rights of the Palestinian people.
.7 After 75 years of relentless occupation and suffering, and after failing all initiatives for
liberation and return to our people, and also after the disastrous results of the so-called
peace process, what did the world expect from the Palestinian people to do in response
to the following:
♦ The Israeli Judaization plans to the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque, its temporal and spatial
division attempts, as well as the intensification of the Israeli settlers’ incursions into the
holy mosque.
♦ The practices of the extremist and right-wing Israeli government which is practically
taking steps towards annexing the entire West Bank and Jerusalem into the so-called
“Israel’s sovereignty” amid plans on the Israeli official table to expel Palestinians from
their homes and areas.
♦ The thousands of Palestinian detainees in Israeli jails who are experiencing deprivation
of their basic rights as well as assaults and humiliations under direct supervision of the
Israeli fascist minister Itamar Ben-Gvir.
♦ The unjust air, sea, and land blockade imposed on the Gaza Strip over 17 years.
Our Narrative… Operation Al-Aqsa Flood6
♦ The expansion of the Israeli settlements across the West Bank in an unprecedented level, as
well as the daily violence perpetrated by settlers against Palestinians and their properties.
♦ The seven million Palestinians living in extreme conditions in refugee camps and other
areas who wish to return to their lands, and who were expelled 75 years ago.
♦ The failure of the international community and the complicit of superpowers to prevent
the establishment of a Palestinian state.
What was expected from the Palestinian people after all of that? To keep waiting and to keep
counting on the helpless UN! Or to take the initiative in defending the Palestinian people, lands,
rights and sanctities; knowing that the defense act is a right enshrined in international laws,
norms and conventions.
Proceeding from the above, Operation Al-Aqsa Flood on Oct. 7 was a necessary step and a
normal response to confront all Israeli conspiracies against the Palestinian people and their
cause. It was a defensive act in the frame of getting rid of the Israeli occupation, reclaiming the
Palestinian rights and on the way for liberation and independence like all peoples around the
world did.
Our Narrative… Operation Al-Aqsa Flood7
In light of the Israeli fabricated accusations and allegations
over Operation Al-Aqsa Flood on Oct. 7 and its repercussions,
we in the Islamic Resistance Movement – Hamas clarify
the following:
.1 Operation Al-Aqsa Flood on Oct. 7 targeted the Israeli
military sites, and sought to arrest the enemy’s soldiers to
pressure on the Israeli authorities to release the thousands of
Palestinians held in Israeli jails through a prisoners exchange
deal. Therefore, the operation focused on destroying the
Israeli army’s Gaza Division, the Israeli military sites stationed
near the Israeli settlements around Gaza.
.2 Avoiding harm to civilians, especially children, women
and elderly people is a religious and moral commitment
by all the Al-Qassam Brigades’ fighters. We reiterate
that the Palestinian resistance was fully disciplined and
committed to the Islamic values during the operation
and that the Palestinian fighters only targeted the
occupation soldiers and those who carried weapons
against our people. In the meantime, the Palestinian
fighters were keen to avoid harming civilians despite
the fact that the resistance does not possess precise
weapons. In addition, if there was any case of targeting
civilians; it happened accidently and in the course of
the confrontation with the occupation forces.
Second
The events of Operation Al-Aqsa Flood
and responses to the Israeli allegations
Our Narrative… Operation Al-Aqsa Flood8
Since its establishment in 1987, the Hamas Movement committed itself to avoiding harm
to civilians. After Zionist criminal Baruch Goldstein in 1994 committed a massacre against
Palestinian worshippers in the Al-Ibrahimi Mosque in occupied Hebron City, the Hamas
Movement announced an initiative to avoid civilians the brunt of fighting by all parties,
but the Israeli occupation rejected it and even did not give any comment on it. The Hamas
Movement also repeated such calls several times, but received by a deaf ear from the Israeli
occupation which continued its deliberate targeting and killing of Palestinian civilians.
.3 Maybe some faults happened during Operation Al-Aqsa Flood’s implementation due to the
rapid collapse of the Israeli security and military system, and the chaos caused along the
border areas with Gaza.
As attested by many, the Hamas Movement dealt in a positive and kind manner with all civilians
who have been held in Gaza, and sought from the earliest days of the aggression to release
them, and that’s what happened during the week-long humanitarian truce where those civilians
were released in exchange of releasing Palestinian women and children from Israeli jails.
.4 What the Israeli occupation promoted of allegations that the Al-Qassam Brigades on Oct.
7 were targeting Israeli civilians are nothing but complete lies and fabrications. The source
of these allegations is the Israeli official narrative and no independent source proved any
of them. It is a well-known fact that the Israeli official narrative had always sought to
demonize the Palestinian resistance, while also legalizing its brutal aggression on Gaza.
Here are some details that go against the Israeli allegations:
♦ Video clips taken on that day – Oct. 7 – along with the testimonies by Israelis themselves that
were released later showed that the Al-Qassam Brigades’ fighters didn’t target civilians,
and many Israelis were killed by the Israeli army and police due to their confusion.
♦ It has also been firmly refuted the lie of the “40 beheaded babies” by the Palestinian
fighters, and even Israeli sources denied this lie. Many of the western media agencies
unfortunately adopted this allegation and promoted it.
♦ The suggestion that the Palestinian fighters committed rape against Israeli women
was fully denied including by the Hamas Movement. A report by the Mondoweiss news
website on Dec. 1, 2023, among others, said there is lack of any evidence of “mass rape”
allegedly perpetrated by Hamas members on Oct. 7 and that Israel used such allegation
“to fuel the genocide in Gaza.”
Our Narrative… Operation Al-Aqsa Flood9
♦ According to two reports by the Israeli Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper on Oct. 10 and the
Haaretz newspaper on Nov. 18, many Israeli civilians were killed by an Israeli military
helicopter especially those who were in the Nova music festival near Gaza where 364
Israeli civilians were killed. The two reports said the Hamas fighters reached the area
of the festival without any prior knowledge of the festival, where the Israeli helicopter
opened fire on both the Hamas fighters and the participants in the festival. The Yedioth
Ahronoth also said the Israeli army, to prevent further infiltrations from Gaza and to
prevent any Israelis being arrested by the Palestinian fighters, struck over 300 targets in
areas surrounding the Gaza Strip.
♦ Other Israeli testimonies confirmed that the Israeli army raids and soldiers’ operations
killed many Israeli captives and their captors. The Israeli occupation army bombed the
houses in the Israeli settlements where Palestinian fighters and Israelis were inside in
a clear application of the Israeli army notorious “Hannibal Directive” which clearly says
that “better a dead civilian hostage or soldier than taken alive” to avoid engaging in a
prisoners swap with the Palestinian resistance.
♦ Furthermore, the occupation authorities revised the number of their killed soldiers
and civilians from 1,400 to 1,200, after finding that 200-burnt corpses had belonged
to the Palestinian fighters who were killed and mixed with Israeli corpses. This means
that the one who killed the fighters is the one who killed the Israelis, knowing that only
the Israeli army possesses military planes that killed, burned and destroyed Israeli
areas on Oct. 7.
♦ The Israeli heavy aerial raids across Gaza that led to the death of nearly 60 Israeli
captives also prove that the Israeli occupation does not care about the life of their
captives in Gaza.
.5 It is also a matter of fact that a number of Israeli settlers in settlements around Gaza were
armed, and clashed with Palestinian fighters on Oct. 7. Those settlers were registered as
civilians while the fact is they were armed men fighting alongside the Israeli army.
.6 When speaking about Israeli civilians, it must be known that conscription applies to all
Israelis above the age of 18 – males who served 32 months of military service and females
who served 24 months – where all can carry and use arms. This is based on the Israeli
security theory of an “armed people” which turned the Israeli entity into “an army with a
country attached.”
Our Narrative… Operation Al-Aqsa Flood10
.7 The brutal killing of civilians is a systematic approach of the Israeli entity, and one of the
means to humiliate the Palestinian people. The mass killing of Palestinians in Gaza is a
clear evidence of such approach.
.8 The Al Jazeera news channel said in a documentary that in one month of the Israeli
aggression on Gaza, the daily average killing of Palestinian children in Gaza was 136, while
the average of children killing in Ukraine – in the course of the Russian-Ukrainian war - was
one child every day.
.9 Those who defend the Israeli aggression do not look at the events in an objective manner
but rather go to justify the Israeli mass killing of Palestinians by saying there would be
casualties among civilians when attacking the Hamas fighters. However, they would not
use such assumption when it comes to the Al-Aqsa Flood event on Oct. 7.
.10 We are confident that any fair and independent inquiries will prove the truth of our
narrative and will prove the scale of lies and misleading information in the Israeli side. This
also includes the Israeli allegations regarding the hospitals in Gaza that the Palestinian
resistance used them as command centers; an allegation that was not proven and was
refuted by reports of many western press agencies.
Our Narrative… Operation Al-Aqsa Flood11
Third
Towards a transparent international
investigation
.1 Palestine is a member-state of the International Criminal
Court (ICC) and it acceded to its Rome Statute in 2015.
When Palestine asked for investigation into Israeli war
crimes committed on its territories, it was faced by Israeli
intransigence and rejection, and threats to punish the
Palestinians for the request to ICC. It is also unfortunate
to mention that there were great powers, which claim to
be holding values of justice, completely sided with the
occupation narrative and stood against the Palestinian
moves in the international justice system. These powers
want to keep “Israel” as a state above the law and to ensure
it escapes liability and accountability.
.2 We urge these countries, especially the US administration,
Germany, Canada and the UK, if they are meant for justice
to prevail as they claim, they are ought to announce their
support to the course of the investigation in all crimes
committed in occupied Palestine and to give full support
for the international courts to effectively do their job.
.3 Despite having doubts from these countries to stand by
justice, we still urge the ICC Prosecutor and his team to
immediately and urgently come to occupied Palestine
to look into the crimes and violations committed there,
rather than merely observing the situation remotely or
being subject to the Israeli restrictions.
Our Narrative… Operation Al-Aqsa Flood12
.4 In Dec. 2022, when the UN General Assembly passed a resolution seeking opinion of the
International Court of Justice (ICJ) on the legal consequences of “Israel’s” illegal occupation
of Palestinian territories, those (few) countries who back “Israel” announced their rejection
to the move that was approved by nearly 100 countries. And when our people – and their
legal and rights groups – sought to pursue prosecutions against the Israeli war criminals
in front of the European countries courts - through the system of universal jurisdiction –
the European regimes obstructed the moves in favor of the Israeli war criminals to remain
running free.
.5 The events of Oct. 7 must be put in its broader context, and that all cases of struggle against
colonialism and occupation in our contemporary time be evoked. These experiences of
struggle show that in the same level of oppression committed by the occupier; there would
be an equivalent response by the people under occupation.
.6 The Palestinian people and peoples across the world realize the scale of lies and deception
these governments that back the Israeli narrative practice in their attempts to justify their
blind bias and to cover the Israeli crimes. These countries know the root causes of the
conflict which are the occupation and the denial of the right of the Palestinian people to
live in dignity on their lands. These countries show no interest towards the continuation of
the unjust blockade on millions of Palestinians in Gaza, and also show no interest towards
the thousands of Palestinian detainees in Israeli jails held under conditions where their
basic rights are mostly denied.
.7 We hail the free people of the world from all religions, ethnicities and backgrounds who
rally in all capitals and cities worldwide to voice their rejection to the Israeli crimes and
massacres, and to show their support for the rights of the Palestinian people and their
just cause.
Our Narrative… Operation Al-Aqsa Flood13
.1 The Islamic Resistance Movement “Hamas” is a Palestinian
Islamic national liberation and resistance movement.
Its goal is to liberate Palestine and confront the Zionist
project. Its frame of reference is Islam, which determines
its principles, objectives and means. Hamas rejects the
persecution of any human being or the undermining of his
or her rights on nationalist, religious or sectarian grounds.
.2 Hamas affirms that its conflict is with the Zionist project not
with the Jews because of their religion. Hamas does not wage
a struggle against the Jews because they are Jewish but
wages a struggle against the Zionists who occupy Palestine.
Yet, it is the Zionists who constantly identify Judaism and
the Jews with their own colonial project and illegal entity.
.3 The Palestinian people have always stood against oppression,
injustice, and the committing of massacres against civilians
regardless of who commit them. And based on our religious
and moral values, we clearly stated our rejection to what
the Jews were exposed to by the Nazi Germany. Here, we
remind that the Jewish problem in essence was a European
problem, while the Arab and Islamic environment was
– across history – a safe haven to the Jewish people and
to other peoples of other beliefs and ethnicities. The Arab
and Islamic environment was an example to co-existence,
cultural interaction and religious freedoms. The current
conflict is caused by the Zionist aggressive behavior and
its alliance with the western colonial powers; therefore, we
reject the exploitation of the Jewish suffering in Europe to
justify the oppression against our people in Palestine.
Fourth
A reminder to the world, who is Hamas?
Our Narrative… Operation Al-Aqsa Flood14
.4 The Hamas Movement according to international laws and norms is a national liberation
movement that has clear goals and mission. It gets its legitimacy to resist the occupation
from the Palestinian right to self-defense, liberation and self-determination. Hamas
has always been keen to restrict its fight and resistance with the Israeli occupation on
the occupied Palestinian territory, yet, the Israeli occupation did not abide by that and
committed massacres and killings against the Palestinians outside Palestine.
.5 We stress that resisting the occupation with all means including the armed resistance
is a legitimized right by all norms, divine religions, the international laws including the
Geneva Conventions and its first additional protocol and the related UN resolutions e.g.
The UN General Assembly Resolution 3236, adopted by the 29th session of the General
Assembly on Nov. 22, 1974 which affirmed the inalienable rights of the Palestinian people in
Palestine, including the right to self-determination and the right to return to “their homes
and property from where they were expelled, displaced and uprooted.”
.6 Our steadfast Palestinian people and their resistance are waging a heroic battle to defend
their land and national rights against the longest and brutalist colonial occupation. The
Palestinian people are confronting an unprecedented Israeli aggression that committed
heinous massacres against Palestinian civilians, most of them were children and women.
In the course of the aggression on Gaza, the Israeli occupation deprived our people in
Gaza of food, water, medicines and fuel, and simply deprived them from all means of life.
In the meantime, the Israeli warplanes savagely struck all Gaza infrastructures and public
buildings including schools, universities, mosques, churches and hospitals in a clear sign
of ethnic cleansing aimed at expelling the Palestinian people from Gaza. Yet, the backers
of the Israeli occupation did nothing but kept the genocide ongoing against our people.
.7 The Israeli occupation’s use of the “self-defense” pretext to justify its oppression against
the Palestinian people is a process of lie, deception and turning the facts. The Israeli entity
has no right to defend its crimes and occupation but the Palestinian people who have
such right to oblige the occupier to end the occupation. In 2004, the International Court of
Justice (ICJ) gave an advisory opinion in the case concerning the “Legal Consequences of
the Construction of a Wall in the Occupied Palestinian Territory” which stated that “Israel”
– the brutal occupying force – cannot rely on a right of self-defense to build such wall on
the Palestinian territory. Furthermore, Gaza under the international law is still an occupied
land, thus, the justifications for waging the aggression on Gaza is baseless and lacks its
legal capacity, as well as lacks the essence of the self-defense idea.
Our Narrative… Operation Al-Aqsa Flood15
Occupation is occupation no matter how it describes or
names itself, and remains a tool to break the will of the
peoples and to keep oppressing them. On the other side,
the experiences of the peoples\nations across history
on how to break away from occupation and colonialism
confirm that the resistance is the strategic approach and
the only way to liberation and ending the occupation.
Have any nation been liberated from occupation without
struggle, resistance or sacrifice?
The humanitarian, ethical and legal imperatives
necessitate all countries around the world to back
the resistance of the Palestinian people not to
collude against it. They are supposed to confront the
occupation crimes and aggression, as well as to support
the struggle of the Palestinian people to liberate their
lands and to practice their right to self-determination
like all peoples across the globe. Based on that we call
for the following:
.1 The immediate halt of the Israeli aggression on Gaza,
the crimes and ethnic cleansing committed against the
entire Gaza population, to open the crossings and allow
the entry of the humanitarian aid into Gaza including
the reconstruction tools.
.2 To hold the Israeli occupation legally accountable
for what it caused of human suffering towards the
Fifth
What is needed?
Our Narrative… Operation Al-Aqsa Flood16
Palestinian people, and to charge it for the crimes against civilians, infrastructure,
hospitals, educational facilities, mosques and churches.
.3 The support of the Palestinian resistance in the face of the Israeli occupation with all
possible means as a legitimized right under the international laws and norms.
.4 We call upon the free peoples across the world, especially those nations who were colonized
and realize the suffering of the Palestinian people, to take serious and effective positions
against the double standard policies adopted by powers\countries that back the Israeli
occupation. We call on these nations to initiate a global solidarity movement with the
Palestinian people and to emphasize the values of justice and equality and the right of the
peoples to live in freedom and dignity.
.5 The superpowers, especially the US, the UK and France among others, must stop providing
the Zionist entity with cover from accountability, and to stop dealing with it as a country
above the law. Such unjust behavior by these countries allowed the Israeli occupation
over 75 years to commit the worst crimes ever against the Palestinian people, land and
sanctities. We urge the countries across the globe, today and more than before, to uphold
their responsibilities towards the international law and the relevant UN resolutions that
call for ending the occupation.
.6 We categorically reject any international or Israeli projects aimed at deciding the future of
Gaza that only serve to prolong the occupation. We stress that the Palestinian people have
the capacity to decide their future and to arrange their internal affairs, and thus no party
in the world has the right to impose any form of guardianship on the Palestinian people or
decide on their behalf.
.7 We urge for standing against the Israeli attempts to cause another wave of expulsion – or
a new Nakba - to the Palestinians especially in the lands occupied in 1948 and the West
Bank. We stress that there will be no expulsion to Sinai or Jordan or any other place, and
if there is any relocation to the Palestinians, it will be towards their homes and areas they
were expelled from in 1948, as affirmed by many UN resolutions.
.8 We call for keeping the popular pressure around the world until ending the occupation;
we call for standing against the normalization attempts with the Israeli entity and for a
comprehensive boycott to the Israeli occupation and its backers.
