My Palestine
A couple of days ago I read the following tweet on twitter:
“Too many long days and night passed since Gilad Shalit was kidnapped by Hamas 1501 is beyond comprehension.”
Shalit, as any human being with a conscience would admit, is an Israeli occupation soldier whose mission was to kill Palestinians. He is no “kidnapped civilian” whose release conscientious people should demand for he is an occupation soldier. Conscientious Israelis are those who refuse to serve in a terrorist army, not those who go on missions to kills unarmed civilians and when they are stopped and held “captive” they become suddenly the victim. Israeli occupation forces raid Palestinian towns, villages and refugee camps on a daily basis, during which children, women and men are beaten, property destroyed before kidnapping several Palestinians from their homes in the middle of the night. According to latest reports on Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails there are over 7200 Palestinian prisoners, including 291 children, 36 women and 203 administrative detainees. Since the beginning of this year 4140 cases of Israeli raids on Palestinians homes were registered. These raids are accompanied by shooting, using fierce dogs, destroying properties and beating children. According to “Palestine Behind Bars”: 2340 cases of detention have been recorded since the beginning of the year, with an average of 11 detention /day. These were distributed as follows: January: 377, February: 322, March: 478, April: 274, May: 292, June: 314, July: 283. Among those detained in this period were 19 women and 150 children[1]. So had Shalit on that July day in 2006 kidnapped a Palestinian, would the world be demanding that Palestinian’s release every night and day? Would French and Italian and other cities be sympathizing with the Palestinian captive and granting him honourary citizenship? Would one western politician after another act as mediator for the sake of the Palestinian captive? No, of course not. There are over 7000 Palestinian captives in Israeli dungeons and no politician is demanding their release, talking about their suffering, visiting their parents and saying: we feel with you!
Shalit is an occupation soldier. You can dry the ocean, make the sun disappear and bring Marians here for a visit, but no one will change the fact that Gilad Shalit is an armed Israeli occupation soldier who, like all other Israeli occupation soldiers, has a license to kill Palestinians and not worry about the consequences. And you can shout “terrorism” as much and as loud as you want, you can sing you pathetic song of “they hate us … they attack us …. they don’t want us” as many times as you want and you can shed as many crocodile tears as you want, but you will never be able to change one simple fact: you are the occupier, you are the murderer, you are the killer, you are the alien in this land and have no right to it, and we have all the right to use any means of resistance we see fit to fight your terrorism, your brutality, your racism, your Zionism.
So, if spending 1501 days in “captivity” is beyond comprehension, what do you call spending 6000 days in captivity? Or even 9000 days in captivity? If spending 1501 days in “captivity” is beyond comprehension, what would you call spending 11817 days in the captivity of a terrorist entity?
Yes. 1501 days in “captivity” is beyond the comprehension of a Zionist who believes he/she has the right to steal others people’s land, kill their families, treat them as sub-humans and imprison them in dungeons forever for daring to demand their freedom and their rights. 1501 days in “captivity” is beyond the comprehension of a Zionist who believes he/she is above the law no matter what they do and that no court, human or heavenly has the right to question or prosecute them. To the Zionists, Palestinian detainees (whose only “crime” is the love of freedom) are to remain forgotten behind bars, are to rot in these dungeons not fit for animals. Their names are to remain unknown, their suffering hidden from the outside world, their dreams snatched and their lives fading away without a word of protest. They are to be labeled “terrorists”, “criminals”, “murders” for daring to stand up to the brutal occupation, for daring to dream of a better world for their children, for daring to act towards achieving that dream.
1501 days in “captivity” is beyond comprehension for the criminal, racist Zionist mind, but only when it comes to Zionists being the “captives”. Palestinians, on the other hand, rotting in Zionist dungeons for 11000 days is understandable, acceptable and welcome by the criminal, racist Zionist mind. A Zionist, whether in army or civilian uniform, has a green light to shoot and kill on spot any Palestinian he/she “thinks/believes/assumes/predicts/reads in coffee cup” might pose a “threat” to the nuclear power entity with its fourth strongest army in the world, and be sure never to get arrested, tried or imprisoned for it. They are allowed to kill Palestinians in cold blood, in broad daylight and without reason (reasons can be later picked from a list of “why I killed a Palestinian for no reason but you can’t criticize me for it” invented for the sake of the media) and even get a medal for it (they term it: killing a terrorist and saving the Erez Israel” even if that “terrorist” is a 4 year old child).
A Palestinian on the other hand needs only be a Palestinian and be present in the same street, town, city, region, continent, planet or galaxy where a Zionist terrorist is “attacked” (attack being the Zionist term, because according to human norms and values a brutal occupier is the one who attacks, while the occupied, oppressed people is actually always defending itself against these attacks and resisting the occupation is a form of defending one’s self, family, land, rights and freedom), to be detained, tortured and imprisoned for “attacking” the Zionist fully-armed terrorist, even with no evidence at all. All that is needed is a Palestinian, any Palestinian (even a 6 year old will do), a Zionist terrorist who had just come back from a mission of killing some Palestinians, demolishing some Palestinian homes or uprooting some Palestinian trees, and the Zionist terrorist will “testify” that the Palestinian father who had just been working the land to feed his children, or the Palestinian brother who had just been teaching in a classroom, or the Palestinian son who had just been on the way back home from his university, or the Palestinian child who had just been playing with his friends in the street had just “attacked” or planned to “attack” (since Zionists have the superpower of reading minds) a member of the terrorist Zionist army occupying a people and oppressing it. Yes, in an illegal colonist entity that established itself on the bodies of Palestinians and on the ruins of their homes and fields, an illegal entity proud of its racist legacy claims (for the sake of useless bodies such as the UN) to be a “democracy” and a “law-abiding state”, Palestinians are being detained for years and years based on lack of evidence and so-called “secret evidence” aka false testimonies of occupation army investigation criminals who despite torture were not able to force kidnapped Palestinians to admit to something they didn’t commit, so these “investigators” write fairy tales and present them as “evidence”. The Israeli army court knows they are lies, the Israeli army soldiers know they are lies and the Israeli media knows they are lies, the whole “conscientious” world knows they are lies, but it doesn’t matter as long as by the end of the day another Palestinian will be locked up behind bars for a long time.
Yes. 1501 days in “captivity” is beyond the comprehension of a Zionist.
Among the over 7200 Palestinians prisoners currently in Israeli jails, there are:
308 “Veteran Prisoners”: Palestinian prisoners who have been locked up in Israelis jails since before the signing of the so-called peace agreement between Zionist entity and the long-dead PLO in May 1994.
118 “Deans of Prisoners”: Palestinian prisoners who have spent 20+ years inside Israeli jails.
21 “Generals of Patience”: Palestinian prisoners who have spent 25+ years inside Israeli jails.
Prisoners who survive the barbarous interrogation and torture in Israeli interrogation centers are deprived of the simplest human rights and are subjected to continuous brutality and harassment, daily raids, destruction and theft of personal belongings for the length of their imprisonment. 70 Palestinian prisoners were murdered during interrogation, 70 others were executed after their detention by Israeli occupation forces or the Israeli prison forces and medical negligence has led to the death of 51 Palestinian prisoners. Detainees in deed of medical treatment for the most won’t get the treatment, and if any if provided then it’s most likely, as many detainees tell, to increase their suffering and pain. Detainees suffering from malignant diseases are given mere pain killers, those with previous injuries or infections get their limbs unnecessarily amputated while others lose their sight or movement. Many Palestinian detainees are healthy and fit when detained but end up with all sorts of ailments due to torture (both physical and psychological), lack of food and hygiene. Often it is minor ailments that only require simple treatment but due to medical negligence, wrong treatment, or medical experimenting these ailments develop into severe medical conditions and detainees are left to die a slow and painful death. Other forms of torture include isolation of the detainees in small dirty cells for months and months and disconnecting them from the outside world. And while the very very very tiny insignificant number of Israeli terrorists who were theatrically “convicted” and “imprisoned” for committing massacres and butchering Palestinians ” – all of course being only a charade to silence any criticism of Israel’s rewarding of Zionist terrorists and not imprisoning them before silently being pardoned by the president of the butcher’s entity – are allowed to leave on vacations, get married, have children while “imprisoned”, the same prison authority cancels family visits of Palestinian detainees and prevents phone calls and letters between the detainees and their loved ones.
So, conscientious world: every time you feel sorry for the Zionist occupation soldier “held captive” by the Palestinians for 1501 days, continue to close your eyes and your ears, continue to act ignorant of the suffering of the Palestinians and continue to subdue the fact that 9000 days in Zionist captivity is longer than your 1501 days, that 11817 in Zionist captivity is longer than any human being can endure.
Conscientious world: keep talking about human suffering, about human rights and how the “human dignity is inviolable”, mention every suffering nation on this plant and the neighboring planets and cry for their suffering, cry with them, stand with them and defend their rights but continue to ignore the suffering of the Palestinians. Write, speak and sing of sufferings long ended, teach your children day and night about them, let them memorize the names, the places and the dates, tell them: “never forget” and “never again”, but also teach them that the suffering of the Palestinians can be forgotten, ignored and discarded.
Conscientious world: keep repeating the name “Gilad Shalit” as long, as often and as loud as you want, for your “conscience” is absent, your “humanity” is conditional, your “causes” are as fake as your “every human is equal”.
Continue your silence, your disregard, your “I didn’t know attitude” and one day, conscientious world, caring world, you will tire of this and that “cause” because it is not attractive anymore or rewarding enough. And when you tire and your voice becomes fainter and fainter, ours will still be strong, powerful and loud, we will still be singing and shouting, our voice will never tire because our cause will never die, for it is a just cause and justice never dies. And despite your silence for over 60 years, we Palestinians won’t be silent and won’t be silenced. We will always name our detainees, one by one. We will continue to carry their names in our memory, and we will continue to carry their images in our hearts till they are all freed, till the very last one is free to smell Palestine, see its hills and valleys, touch its olives and figs and kiss its sacred soil. We will continue to memorize their names, write their names, sing their names, we will continue to name them with every sunrise and every sunset because their captivity is the captivity of all of us and their freedom is freedom of all of us.
Last week, my little cousin who was sitting beside me, saw the picture of a poster of 4 Palestinian prisoners on my computer screen. He looked at me and without me asking a thing, he named them. There were no names on the poster, nothing. So, conscientious world, this is not for you, because to me you are dead. This is to the young generation of Palestinians, so they might never forget the names, so they memorize them, repeat the often forgotten and ignored heroes, to give names to the numbers we often quote and to give names to the faces that are locked up behind bars and to fight for them until every single Palestinian prisoner is free.
An occupation Zionist soldier in “captivity” for 1501 days is beyond comprehension, but a Palestinian spending more than half of his/her life in Israeli captivity is acceptable, is excusable.
Na’il, Fakhri, Akram and all of you comrades; they call you “terrorists”, when your only “crime” is your thirst for freedom. They call you “terrorists”, when your only “crime” is standing up to the occupation soldiers who had come and butchered your family, destroyed your home and expelled you from your village. They call you “terrorists”, when it is their hands that are stained with the blood of our people. They call you “terrorists”, when it is their bulldozers that demolish our homes, our fields and our olive trees. They call you “terrorists”, when it is them who besiege our villages, towns and refugee camps, lock us behind bars and deprive us of our legitimate rights.
Na’il, Fakhri, Akram and all of you comrades; it is them who are the terrorists and you are the freedom fighters. They are the murderers and you are the heroes. They are the Zionists and you are the Palestinians.
I wanted to write every single name, every single one of them, but unfortunately found no database with all names, had to search for weeks to finish/check only these 3 lists. So, I apologize to every single prisoner not mentioned, to their families who read the names of other detainees being mentioned in this and that petition and this and that press release and wonder: what about our son/daughter? I apologize to you, for every single one of you is my hero. You are never forgotten and never will be, for your freedom is our freedom.
