Why have negotiations failed to achieve peace in the Middle East?
In this civilized time that pays much attention to advancements, freedom, and human rights, the top priority should be to apply justice and equality to include all nations and peoples without exceptions, and more importantly to enlighten thought and free the conscience in order to rescue the oppressed and so that moral values can escalate.
In this context we note that the issue of the Palestinian people is still a puppet of negotiations and bargaining, and is no real solution to end the suffering of the grieving people. Israel is still a parasite that pests the lives of Palestinians. The painful and bitter memory of a difficult life pigmented with the color of blood remains engraved in the minds of many generations. The world received the Palestinian issue in this framework and was still unable to resolve it, despite the long negotiations that have dragged on for more than a decade without achieving the justice desired. And the question asked is, why haven't negotiations resolved the question of Palestine until this very day?
"Israel" is an entity based on ethnic cleansing and the expulsion of Palestinians from their homes, how can it return their rights to them?
Zionist gangs expelled hundreds of thousands of Palestinians from their lands by force of arms and refused to allow them to return to their old homes and property which they had inherited by their fathers and grandfathers, and despite the existence of clear resolutions of the United Nations that stipulates the right of return.
Today, about 2.5 million Palestinian refugees live in 64 refugee camps, and another 2 million live outside refugee camps, and they are all forbidden from returning to their villages or towns or simply to discuss the issue of their return.
Despite the adoption of resolution No. 194 of the United Nations in the 12/11/1948, which states: "It was decided that refugees who wish to return to their homes and love at peace with their neighbors should be allowed to do so as soon as possible. Compensation should be paid for the property of those who choose not to return, for loss, and for damage." Israel, until today, refuses to implement the United Nations resolutions and is backed up by the U.S. government.
The insistence of the Zionist leaders on the displacement of Palestinians
All Zionist parties in "Israel" strongly insisted on rejecting the return of Palestinians to their homes and properties under the pretext of maintaining the percentage of Jews (racial purity), and they refuse to even discuss the matter.
Internal Security Minister Gideon Ezra talked about the Palestinians who live within the State of Israel saying:
"There are Arab citizens in the State of Israel, and that is our ultimate calamity . Get rid of Gaza, get rid of Judea and Samaria, there will remain this major problem" ..
The founder and the first Prime Minister of "Israel", David Ben-Gurion said in a speech to the Jewish Agency in 1937,
"We do not want to switch place of residence of the Palestinians, but we want to displace them, there are masses of lands belonging to the Arabs that the Palestinians can relocate in"
Benny Morris quoted Ben-Gurion clearly in 1938 saying that he supports the idea of forced displacement and does not see anything immoral in it.
Why did the whole world fight the apartheid state in South Africa?
Was it not because it was a state based on racial discrimination?!
Why did the whole world fight against Hitler and Nazism?
Was it not because he called for racial purity and the massively murdered and persecuted a people based on ethnicity?!
How do the principles of Zionism, which calls for a wholly Jewish state, differ from countries such as South Africa or Nazi Germany? And
Israel refuses to restore the rights of a people simply because they are non-Jews?
Is not the idea of the Judaization of a state racist and hostile?!
Peace talks were unsuccessful as a result of the daily Israeli attacks against Palestinians while the USA and Europe watches silently
The direct negotiation process between the Palestinians and Israelis, under the auspices of the United States, began in the early 90's. During the process, Israel has always insisted on controling every detail of the lives of the Palestinians in order to guarantee the absence of any sort of improvement in their lives and to make it difficult for refugees to fight for their right to return to their homes and to recover their property, making peaceful coexistence impossible, while labeling resistance to its crimes as "terrorism". It is no surprise that they are responsible for such actions, considering their actions throughout history where they killed prophets and fought against all other religions. They do not ever respond voluntarily to wisdom and prudence, but rather attempt to deter it by force,usually resulting in their surrender and withdrawal, as evident in the unilateral withdrawal from the Gaza Strip and some settlements in the occupied West Bank in 2005 after continuous Palestinian resistance.
The U.S. government has always and continues to support the politics and security of the state of Israel. It also rejects any pressure to restore the rights of the Palestinians, and even condones the crimes of the continuous occupation, as it vetos every possible resolution that condemns the massacres and heinous acts of Israel.
Instead of negotiating on the issues that are the root cause of the problem, which are the right of refugees to return to their homes and properties, the establishment a state on the occupied lands, and the end of the Israeli occupation of the Palestinian people, the Israeli occupation negotiates the Palestinians on what their rights are and wants to grant them their fundamental rights based on its unjust understanding. So it blockades Gaza, for instance, and controls what enters and what leaves this strip of land despite announcing its complete withdrawal from it, preventing its people from direct contact with the outside world, in order to emphasize its grip on them
Ongoing crimes that do not cease in different ways
The Israeli occupation's crimes did not cease with the expulsion of the Palestinians in 1948; the attacks continue until this very day. Even after "Israel" announced its intention to make peace with the Palestinians, it still pursues a policy of assassinations, arrests, house demolitions, and settlement expansion at the expense of Palestinian property. We find, for example, that it destroys the village of "Al-Aqareb" in the Negev desert in the presence of its inhabitants, expelling them from their land, despite the fact that these people are officially considered citizens of the State of "Israel" and are not a part of the Palestinian resistance movements. So if the world asks the Palestinians to forget what happened to them in the past, are they required to overlook the present crimes as well?
What's even worse and more repugnant is the Israeli Foreign Minister's call for the expulsion of Arab citizens from the state of Israel in order to preserve the Jewishness of the state! Look at the transcending racism as he he threatens to expel the Palestinians!
The persistence of the Palestinian Authority to refuse to recognize Israel as a Jewish state must lead us to put the issue of the Arabs of 1948 on the negotiating table.
The negotiations have not achieved any progress on any issue of the substantive issues: the return of the Palestinian refugees and the real independence of the Palestinian people, the right of Jerusalem as a city of peace that holds Islamic and Christian sanctities, or even in putting an end to the crimes, daily abuses, and collective punishment that leaves more than a million and a half Gazans under seige for years. Thus, when the negotiations are merely a cover for Israel's racist and unjust actions, and are based on the expulsion of the people and .the ongoing ethnic cleansing, they will inevitably fail miserably
The ideology of Zionism is well-established in the minds of the leaders and people of "Israel", and it is based on that the Jews are God's "chosen people" and that others--Muslims, Christians, and other religions and groups--are to serve them. The practice of negotiations is nothing but a lie shown on the media to portray that Israel is a civilized entity, meanwhile it practices all sorts of oppression against the Palestinian people on their own land.
The question we ask is: Will our children and future generations remain in their homes and lands in light of the continued negotiations?
Is there hope that they will touch the light of freedom in an independent Palestinian state through the process of negotiations?
Or will we leave, along with our children, and die while the negotiations continue to take place ?
