The Palestinian people's active resistance, which began under British mandate rule, has continued without interruption. The Palestinian struggle, particularly concentrated in Gaza through Hamas, has naturally seen its ups and downs over the past century. Zionist Israel and its supporters have repeatedly believed they had broken Palestinian resistance and achieved their goals. Yet just as often, we've witnessed astonishing rebirths of resistance in Gaza, the West Bank and East Jerusalem that have left humanity in awe. The Palestinians have never abandoned their cause, and this determination has persisted after October 7, 2023.


October 7, 2023 marked one of the most significant moments in the more than century-long history of the Palestinian cause. Before this date, Israel, under the protection and support of the U.S. and Britain, sought to impose a final solution by pressuring neighboring countries and expelling Palestinians from occupied territories. Once again, the Palestinian cause was being erased. Zionist Israel, established on historic Palestinian lands, seemed just one step away from achieving its objectives. Most had lost hope when speaking of Palestine and Palestinians. But with Hamas and other resistance groups reemerging, the course of history changed. Until the ceasefire agreement in January of this year, one of the most brutal atrocities in human history was displayed in Gaza - yet the Palestinians did not abandon their land. Despite ethnic cleansing crimes committed with open British and American support, those who remained steadfast refused to consider leaving Palestinian territories despite unimaginable brutality.


Zionist Israel was established as a colonial state. Zionism emerged as a colonial ideology of Britain and America. This is precisely why Zionism first spread among Evangelical Christians. This reality has often been overlooked because Israel was also a product of propaganda. The ideological aspect played a significant role in the success of this propaganda. While Palestinians resisted the British mandate's military regulations on one hand, they simultaneously fought against terrorist organizations tied to Zionist ideology. Edward Said's works on the Palestinian issue better explain this propaganda dimension. Palestinians waged struggle on all fronts.


From the beginning, even the Anglo-Saxons didn't anticipate that the Palestinian cause could affect the entire world's trajectory. Yet in the relatively tiny area of Palestine - and more specifically in the even more confined spaces of Gaza, West Bank and East Jerusalem - what unfolded was essentially the final reckoning of the last five centuries. The Palestinian issue is now being evaluated alongside the West's desire to revive and reinforce its system. In Turkey, many people, after long periods of propaganda, explained Western European countries' and America's support for Israel through the shame of the Holocaust. Supposedly, Europeans were embarrassed before Jews and turned a blind eye to Israel's brutality because they owed them. The belief that Jewish capital ruled the world supposedly made them hesitant to speak out. After October 7, it became clear this wasn't true. Israel was also a product of propaganda. As Palestinians resisted, the U.S., Britain and Germany set aside their centuries-old Western civilization image and together committed all possible war crimes. Only a fraction of these crimes have been exposed so far. More will come to light with time.


When the ceasefire agreement was signed in the first half of January, the world watched in admiration as Gazans did not kneel in surrender. Returning to the remnants among ruins, they walked through all the pain that had occurred. This was a victory march, truly astonishing. The whole world watched events unfold live. The U.S., Britain and Israel had failed to distance Palestinians from Gaza and their cause in any way. They didn't fulfill the terms of the ceasefire agreement they signed. After a brief pause, Israel continued its brutal attacks. The U.S. and Britain continued supporting Israel in every way. Faced with Palestinians' joy of return, they completely lost control. Therefore, they knowingly and willingly became complicit in major crimes once again.


The Palestinians will not give up defending their homeland hereafter either. Their unshakable faith sets an example for the whole world. From now on, we will be discussing very different and new things.
