Who Are The Palestinians " III "

[P F Tinmore]

What if it is a settler colonial state built on stolen land?

Terrorism is a political name calling thing.

However, it was also the Global North who used the label of terrorism as a weapon against anti-colonial movements in the past and the present. Scholars have often wrongfully labelled the armed resistance to oppression by states, especially in situations of domination by Western and colonial powers as terrorist (Halliday 2011). This has included movements such as the Sandinista Front for National Liberation in Nicaragua, the African National Congress’ actions against South Africa’s apartheid regime and the strikingly reminisce situation of the ongoing terrorist labelling of Palestinian Liberation Organisation and current efforts against Israel’s oppression (Halliday 2011). While the debate of the tactics implored by these organisations as terrorist actions is a different argument, the right to resist oppression and in extreme conditions take up armed resistance is recognised both in international law and political norms and values (Halliday 2011). By avoiding the pitfall of short-term, immediate threat based analysis, postcolonial perspectives have a greater understanding of the historical reasons for the emergence of several terrorist groups (Stump & Dixit 2013, p. 60). The argument that modern terrorist violence first emerged in the colonial control by European colonial powers points to another strength of postcolonial analysis; the ability to properly assess Western state terrorism.

Terrorism as a Weapon of the Strong? A Postcolonial Analysis of Terrorism

A postcolonial perspective offers a greater understanding of terrorism than the traditional approach, as it integrates the colonial context into the analysis.

What's with the "stolen land" slogan when you can't identify where, when or by whom, any land was stolen?

Terrorists imprisoned in Israeli prisons continue to earn academic degrees from Al-Quds Open University, despite the Israeli Prison Service’s assurances that no such studies are taking place, and that it is still enforcing the 2011 Israeli decision to cancel imprisoned terrorists’ entitlement to higher education.

Two of this summer’s 136 prisoner graduates are from the infamous Abu Hmeid family, of which 5 brothers are imprisoned for terror offences, having murdered at least 10 between them. As Palestinian Media Watch has exposed many times, the terrorists’ mother, Latifa Abu Hmeid, is the PA’s top parental role model, having earned that status solely for being the mother of terrorists. Now she can take pride in her sons’ academic achievements too, as both Nasser and Nasr Abu Hmeid have earned degrees while in prison.

At the graduation ceremony, Ramallah District Governor Laila Ghannam – who is herself an avid terror supporter – stressed her “pride”, singling out Nasser Abu Hmeid who was responsible for the murder of 7:

Official PA TV newsreader: “The graduation ceremony of Al-Quds Open University’s 25th class also included graduates who are prisoners, the most prominent name among them being sick prisoner Nasser Abu Hmeid (i.e., terrorist, responsible for murder of 7).”
Ramallah and El-Bireh District Governor Laila Ghannam: “Today there is cause for pride. We have a graduation of prisoners, including those who were released. Today we are celebrating with them, and including those who insisted on being firm and jailing the prison guard, and who received a university degree. We congratulate them and we hope that soon we will celebrate with them while they are healthy and whole, and especially the sick. We have a graduation of the Abu Hmeid family, for our brother commander Nasser Abu Hmeid.”
[Official PA TV News, Aug. 16, 2022]

Speaking at the graduation ceremony, Director of PLO Commission of Prisoners’ Affairs Qadri Abu Bakr singled out the other brother, Nasr Abu Hmeid, who was involved in the murder of 4, as one of the “heroic prisoner” graduates. Abu Bakr noted that 136 prisoners graduated this year, while 663 graduated in recent years, and 400 prisoners are currently studying for a BA at Al-Quds open University:

What "stolen land"?

Maybe the stolen Palestinian land of Solomon's Temple where they built their Mosque.

The IDF revealed Monday the identities of two civilians who allowed the Palestinian Islamic Jihad movement to launch rockets from their private property which fell within the Gaza Strip during Operation Breaking Dawn.


On August 7, a rocket was fired from a plot of land that belongs to the Gaza City municipality, headed by Yahya Saraj, and fell next to a clinic in Jabalia, killing two Palestinians.


"He chose to care more for the Islamic Jihad terrorist organization than the residents of the city that he heads, and took advantage of the civil arena that belongs to the residents of the city in order to carry out terrorism - thus harming his citizens directly," said the IDF.

"The family of Hamadan Imran Shamalh took an active part in the operation of terrorism while allowing the shooting from their home and thus harming Gaza's civilian space as well," added the IDF. "The terrorist organizations in Gaza cynically exploit the citizens of the Gaza Strip and launch rockets from the civilian space, this is further proof of this."

More Palestinian civilians killed by Islamic Jihad rockets than by Israeli strikes​

The IDF stated shortly after Operation Breaking Dawn that more civilians were killed by Islamic Jihad rockets than by Israeli strikes, as a large number of the rockets fell within the Strip.

What if it is a settler colonial state built on stolen land?

Terrorism is a political name calling thing.

(COMMENT)

In the last decade (or more) I do not think you have missed an opportunity to extend a single abusive anti-Israeli or pro-Palestinian speak to or treat with disrespect any attempt by the Israelis to defend themselves → no matter the circumstances of the entanglement might be.

The Anti-Israeli and Pro-Palestinian hostilities have the ingredients to be considered either Jihadism, Fedayeen Activism, Hostile Insurgency Operations, Radicalized Islamic Behaviors, and Asymmetric Violence. And, for those cases in which the Anti-Israeli and Pro-Palestinians
commit an offense that is solely intended to harm the Occupying Power, but which does not constitute an attempt on the life or limb of members of the occupying forces or administration, or seriously damage the property of the occupying forces or administration or the installations used by them, shall be liable to internment or simple imprisonment. The Occupying Power may impose harsher sentences and even the death penalty on a protected person only in cases where the person is guilty of espionage, of serious acts of sabotage against the military installations of the Occupying Power or of intentional offenses which have caused the death of one or more persons.

The use of the term terrorism is a matter of perspective. It is all about how the citizens under attack may perceive it.

• It is premeditated—planned in advance, rather than an impulsive act of rage. The impulsive act is covered by the ICCPR.
• It is political—not criminal, like the violence or the shifting of legitimate nation-building contributions to terrorist materials.
• It is aimed at civilians— or indiscriminate fire.
• It is carried out by sub-national groups—not by the army of a country.” Terrorist groups are designated.

Most Respectfully,
R

I believe that occupying power is a misnomer. Surely Israel maintains its presence and control by military force. However, occupying powers have restrictions and obligations. Israel does not conform to any of that.

The International Monetary Fund visited Israel and the territories this month to give advice on helping the Palestinian economy.

They issued a final statement with a summary of their findings. But there was something missing:

A single word about the Palestinian Authority Martyrs Fund or the other programs that pay terrorists and their families.

The PA spends about $270 million every year on prisoner salaries and "martyr" family payments, a significant chunk of the PA budget altogether (a few years ago, it was 8%, it has probably increased since then.) It is nearly 2% of the total Palestinian GDP!

This is similar to the April World Bank report that also didn't mention "Pay for Slay" as a potential target for cost cutting.

Mahmoud Abbas has said many times that the top priorityof spending for the Palestinians is on paying these terrorists - more than healthcare, more than education, more than retirement benefits.

That appears to be the reason the IMF and World Bank don't bother making the recommendations to cut a program that throws hundreds of millions of dollars away annually to terrorists and their families - because they know that the PA will ignore them. But that is a profoundly bad reason - their job is to make the best recommendations they can, and then report if the PA refuses to comply.

By hiding a huge source of the PA's financial woes, these world financial organizations are not doing anyone any favors. On the contrary - they become complicit in supporting terrorism.

Say the truth, and let the PA defend the indefensible.

World Bank, IMF continue to avoid recommending the Palestinians stop Pay for Slay

Blogging about Israel and the Arab world since, oh, forever.

Islamism is a politico-religious ideology that has a 1,400 year long history of conquest, war and occupation. Hamas literally screams this out in the fascist Charter. The way you deal with an armed aggressor who believes his mission is to kill you involves utterly dismantling his ability to do that.

Palestinian rejectionism, glorification of terrorism is stopping peace - opinion

Such actions prove that the core issue isn’t occupation, but Palestinian rejectionism and terrorism against the indigenous people of the land – the Jews

The PA is known for its celebration of terrorism, naming streets or squares after murderers, paying terrorists and their families for acts of violence and passing out candy after terror attacks.

Indeed, Israel maintains its presence and military force as a counter to gee-had attacks by Islamic terrorists.

Shirley, you can identify any sovereign Pally land occupied by Israel. Failure to do that would imply you’re just repeating worn, tired, slogans, right?

Israel is defending its settler colonial project.

Translation; Israel does not have the right to exist. That’s why when he’s asked about the Jewish people having full access to their religious sites or ANY representatives with a overwhelming Palestinian majority there is no response

Isn’t it amazing how on one hand he spouts the U. N. And “ International Law “ yet on the other hand he states the UN did not have the authority to establish a Jewish State??
