Unforgettable events of our Palestinian fight, from the Nakba to the Sword of Jerusalem
The persecution and occupation of the Palestinian lands by the Israeli regime are among the most deep-rooted problems in the world. The aforementioned problem, which can be traced back to the period when Palestine was called the 'Land of Canaan', increased day by day with the support of the Israeli regime from the dominant power centers on earth. The process, which works against the Palestinians, has been moving in the opposite direction in recent years. In particular, the 'Sword of Jerusalem Operation' launched last year led to the exacerbation of the Palestinian resistance, and it is expected that the gains will continue towards the Palestinian side in the coming period. Since the establishment of the Israeli regime, the Palestinian-Israeli conflict requires scrutiny at every stage. We have compiled the Zionist occupation in Palestine step by step for our readers.
This geography where all roads in the world lead sooner or later; Throughout history, every period has played a decisive role for the world.
Palestine, Jerusalem and ultimately Masjid al-Aqsa, which are central to the world domination of states of peace or war; Since it is the apple of the eye of the Islamic world and also carries holiness for the whole world, it has been the scene of great wars and Zionist persecution that hurt the conscience of humanity, especially in the last century. The current picture was reached with the occupation attempt of the Jews, who could not fit into the ghettos in Europe at the beginning of the 20th century, with the ideal of establishing a national state in Palestine.
THE GREAT OPPRESSION STARTED IN 1948
In order to examine Israel's occupation of Palestinian lands, it is necessary to look at a time period of 78 years. In essence; It is based on the gradual occupation of the 'land they believed to be promised' by the Zionists, taking action since 1948. In this direction, the first critical time point to be examined is the "establishment of the Israeli regime" and the "First Arab-Israeli War" that took place right after it.
With the end of the British Mandate for Palestine on May 14, 1948 and the so-called independence declaration of the Zionist regime that took place on the same day, the First Arab-Israeli War began. After 10 months of war, armistice agreements allowed Israel to occupy more territory, including West Jerusalem, than was envisaged in the 1947 Partition Plan.
About 750 thousand of the 1 million 200 thousand Palestinians were expelled from their lands. While the immigration of Palestinians to other countries and the increasing population of Jews in Palestine caused the demographic structure to turn against the Arabs, the real settled people of the region, the ongoing problem of Palestinian refugees started.
THE SIX DAY WAR INCREASE THE INVASION OF ISRAEL
After the first Arab-Israeli war, the tension in the region did not subside, and after Egypt closed the Strait of Tiran to the ships of the invading regime in 1950, in 1956, the Zionists occupied the Sinai Peninsula in order to reopen the strait, taking advantage of the Suez Crisis. In this event, which started the war, also known as the Second Arab-Israeli War, the Zionist forces were assured that the transport route would remain open and the United Nations (UN) Emergency Force would be deployed, even though they were forced to withdraw from Sinai.
However, in 1967, then-Egyptian President Nasser once again closed the Strait of Tiran to the occupation regime. After Zionist forces attacked Egypt's air bases in retaliation, the war, in which Syria and Jordan also participated, resulted in the persistence and strengthening of the Zionist occupation. 6 days of war; While leaving the Zionist regime under the control of East Jerusalem, Gaza, Golan Heights, Sinai and the entire West Bank, new occupation settlements were established in the aforementioned regions to make the occupation permanent.
FOR THE FIRST TIME AN ARAB COUNTRY RECOGNIZED ISRAEL
In May 1977, the Likud Party (Racist Zionist Party), led by Menachem Begin, took over the administration in the occupying Israeli regime, bringing racist Jewish parties into the mainstream. In this period, new occupation settlements and economic liberalization were encouraged, paving the way for Arab countries to recognize the occupying Zionist regime.
The first major event to take place in this context would be the Camp David Accord, and on September 17, 1978, Egypt and Israel would lay the groundwork for a peace treaty through the mediation of United States President Jimmy Carter.
With the process that would lead to Israel's withdrawal from Sinai and Egypt's recognition of the occupation regime in the 'Camp David Agreement', an Arab country officially recognized Israel for the first time and accepted its existence on the lands it seized as legitimate. At the end of the talks, an official peace treaty was signed between Tel Aviv and Cairo on March 26, 1979, while Menachem Begin and Anwar Sadat jointly received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1978. Anwar Sadat, who received the Nobel Peace Prize in November 1979, died as a result of his assassination in October 1981.
THE UNFORGETTABLE MASSACRE OF THE ZIONISTS; SABRA AND SHATILLA
One of the unforgettable events that took place in connection with the Israeli regime's occupation of Palestine was the brutality known as the Sabra and Shatila Massacre. In this incident, the Israeli army-supported Zionists raided the Sabra and Shatila refugee camps where Palestinian Muslims live; It brutally murdered thousands of Muslims, including children, women and the elderly.
In the massacre led by Ariel Sharon, even the sabers in the fire were martyred. The occupying forces had occupied Lebanon to expel the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) from Lebanon after the assassination attempt on the London representative of the Zionist regime.
The invasion attack that started in June 1982; The September massacre of Palestinian refugees who took refuge in the Sabra-Shatila camps in Beirut by the Christian allies of the Zionists (Lebanese Phalangists) sparked mass protests and calls for the dismissal of Defense Minister Ariel Sharon.
The blood-curdling and inhumane events that took place in the attempted invasion of Lebanon caused outrage in the international community, resulting in the suspension of the parliament in the Zionist regime in July 1984.
In the new elections held after this, the coalition based on weak foundations between the Likud (Racist Zionist Party) and the Labor Party; Unable to provide peace and stability in the occupied territories, the occupation forces had to withdraw from most of Lebanon in June 1985, but continued to occupy a narrow corridor along the border under the pretext of a "security zone" approved by the United Nations (UN).
