Israel’s Service to the Palestinian Cause
Al-Ahram, Egypt, April 5
Israeli policies have inadvertently shed light on the Palestinian struggle in recent months, showcasing undeniable evidence of the Israeli army’s heinous crimes against innocent civilians. Through audio and video recordings, the world has witnessed atrocities such as the killing of children, blocking access to essential supplies, and targeting hospitals. This stark reality has debunked Israel’s self-proclaimed image as a modern democratic state, revealing the underlying racism within its leadership. These revelations have surpassed any previous efforts by Palestinians to bring attention to their plight since the conflict with Zionist groups predating the establishment of Israel. As a result, Israel’s close allies may now reconsider their support, not because they were unaware of the war crimes or racism, but because Israel has lost its ability to conceal its actions from the world. The once formidable façade has crumbled, leaving Israel’s friends vulnerable to scrutiny on the world stage. In addition to exposing Israel’s true nature, recent events have also highlighted the incompetence of its intelligence agencies. The unexpected Hamas strike on October 7 caught Israeli authorities off guard, revealing a lack of foresight and strategic planning. The notion of Israel’s “invincible army” has been shattered, rendering it a subject of ridicule rather than fear among Palestinians. Israel’s oppressive tactics, though brutal, have clearly failed to achieve their intended goals. The rising Palestinian generation now views the Israeli army not as a force to be reckoned with but as a tool for destruction and intimidation that ultimately falls short of its objectives. This shift in perception marks a significant turning point in the ongoing conflict, underscoring the need for a reevaluation of Israel’s actions and policies. —Ahmed Abdel-Tawwab (translated by Asaf Zilberfarb)
