October 2023 – Palestine’s ‘Tet’? – from October 2023 to end of February 2024

It might be considered an example of hyperbole to consider the events that took place on the 7th October 2023 to be Palestine’s ‘Tet’ but I still think, now as we are into the fourth week of the settler state’s genocidal attack upon Gaza, that the comparison holds water.

The comparison stems through two strands of thought. The first is that, in the most heavily ‘surveilled’ place in the world, a group of armed fighters were able to carry out the organisation and execution of a concerted military raid that took the oppressor state of Israel by surprise. And, it seems, one of the main reasons for their success was the NOT using of technology, i.e., mobile phones and computers – an object lesson for all future revolutionaries.

Also, that attack, made by people whose only weapons were AK47s and a few grenades, travelling to their targets on motorbikes and beat-up pick-up trucks, were able to overrun up to 15 armed position of the the Israeli Defence Forces.

The fact they were able to carry out this attack following many weeks of preparation without notice of this getting out very much mirrors the success of the Vietnamese in their attack upon the US invading forces and their lackeys of the South Vietnamese Army in January 1968. Due to their greater sophistication and organisation the Vietnamese were able to carry this out over a vast area of Southern Vietnam and in multiple locations.

As in Palestine the Vietnamese liberation forces were attacking an overwhelmingly strong and well equipped military force and, perhaps, it was no surprise that that initial attack was eventually defeated, causing heavy losses on the attacking forces. (See The Tet Mau Than 1968 Event in South Vietnam)

But what both events demonstrated is that the invading/occupying force was not all powerful. The attacks challenged the idea that, even though armed with superior equipment in terms of quantity as well as quality (taking as a starting point that technology leads to ‘superior’ force – something that isn’t always true) the enemy couldn’t be defeated. Basically what both attacks showed was that the arrogance and hubris of the invader/occupier hid their inbuilt vulnerability. They were, are and ever will be ‘paper tigers’.

The attacks showed that the invader/occupier wasn’t invincible. And this has a phycological impact upon both sides in the conflicts. And when we look at it we can see that there are similarities between the US and Israeli military forces. They are basically bullies and when faced with an organised and determined force their success is far from guaranteed.

We should remember that, even though the ‘most powerful military on the planet’, the US hasn’t won a war since the 19th century (if we don’t count their ‘victory’ in Grenada in 1983) and the vast majority of the Israeli military get their ‘training’ by insulting, abusing, beating up and killing unarmed men, women and children.

The most recent debacle for the US military was in Afghanistan when, after 20 years and an almost unbelievable amount of money, they left the country in a way that was similar to their ultimate, ignominious departure from Vietnam in 1975 – with their Afghan flunkies and collaborators clinging on to departing aircraft at Kabul airport in the same way as they did on the roof of the American Embassy in Saigon.

The ‘brave’ Zionist IDF is confident when, with overwhelming force, they assist in the illegal occupation of Palestinian land in the ‘West Bank’ by the fascist settlers and against children (there is even documented proof of them ‘arresting’ a five year old child for throwing stones) yet when faced with a properly organised and similarly armed force they back down and retreat to their holes in Palestine – as happened in 2006 in Lebanon against Hezbollah.

So probably the biggest effect of these two events was to undermine the confidence the invader/occupier had/has in their own power, in their own ability to defeat any opposing force – if they are just given enough time.

However, these ‘paper tigers’ are still very dangerous and as Tet in Vietnam in 1968 was followed by even more intense death and destruction rained upon the people of Indochina so we are seeing this taking place in Palestine now as the Zionist forces attempt genocide and ethnic cleaning in the Gaza whilst at the same time attacking those Palestinians in the ‘West Bank’ who have no connection with Hamas at all.

The ‘fact’ that has been constantly repeated (by all commentators, either pro-Zionist or otherwise – the latter because it has become obligatory to condemn Hamas when making any reference to the Zionist genocide attempt in Gaza) since the attack of October 7th is the number of ‘1400 civilians’ killed. Why no exact number? Surely after the chaos of that weekend subsided the true figures are known.

And then we have the repeated intention to reinforce the lie that all those who died on that day were, in fact, civilians. This ignores the number of military bases that were overrun and that a significant number of the casualties that day were military – who are legitimate targets when it is remembered that the Zionists are an occupational force and under international law an occupied people have the right to fight against their occupiers.

Then we have the fact that all Zionist kibbutzim are virtual civilian armed encampments. As they are situated on land stolen from the Palestinian people they maintain their legitimacy by armed force. Can we then really treat these ‘invaders’ as mere ‘innocent civilians’? Yes, they were defending themselves against the Palestinian attack but they were defending themselves from the very people from whom they had stolen the land.

Another fact (and this is a verifiable fact in that those settlers who survived the attacks on the kibbutzim in which they lived have given interviews to the effect) is that many of those who died were killed by the disorganised, panicked and confused Israeli Defence Force who – when they eventually arrived – fired at everyone and anyone they thought might have been an attacker. And this was with heavy arms, that is tanks and attack helicopters, equipment to which the Palestinians didn’t have access.

What is ‘forgotten’ in the so-called ‘discussion’ on the events of the 7th October is that the Palestinians only had access to light arms, AK47s and the like, with possibly a few grenades. The damage that was caused in both the military installations and the kibbutzim was well over and above what the attackers could have achieved. The burnt bodies of both the attackers and those attacked could only have been the result of the use of some of the most powerful weapons on the planet – which in this conflict are only in the hands of the Zionists. And, as stated above, this was what survivors of the attack testified to in interviews with the media in the days immediately following the attack

So many of those civilians who died were killed by their ‘own’ people. And as the information comes out that was sometimes intentionally (due to the infamous Zionist ‘Hannibal Directive‘) and sometimes as a result of the confusion that reigned when the Zionist military became involved.

So we have a situation where less and less of the mythical ‘1400’ were killed by Hamas and other Palestinian attackers. They were ‘collateral damage’ in a war between the occupied and the occupiers.

Here it should be noted that the claims made in the immediate aftermath of the attack of rapes and beheading of babies were merely the lies perpetuated by the Zionists to ‘justify’ their occupation of Palestinian land and which were repeated by the servile mass media in the west – as well as by the decrepit President of the US. There has never been a shred of evidence produced to substantiate any of this and it has never been accepted by those that disseminated such lies that the claims were groundless. They just let them fester and hope that those who read/heard these claims will remember this ‘information’ and close their minds to the reality on the ground.

Also, I’m not aware of any verifiable information that indicated any of those settlers killed on 7th October by the Palestinians didn’t die during the battles that ensued once they arrived at either the military of kibbutzim targets or during the ‘rescue’ attempts by the Zionist military. That is, there is no substantiated claim that the Palestinians summarily executed any of their prisoners.

Ever since the Hamas attack on 07 October 2023 is has seemingly been incumbent upon many (even those anti-Zionist, pro-Palestinian commentators) who address the genocide and ethnic cleaning taking place in Gaza to first condemn, using the most graphic and most emotional language, the Hamas action as being some sort of alien and unnatural occurrence, something which no human being would ever even contemplate implementing.

This attitude continues weeks into the Zionist settler state’s genocidal attack on what was the ‘world’s biggest concentration camp’ pre-October 7 2023.

This is despite the fact;

  • the assault is considered by many to be a brilliantly organised and executed military action;
  • the main force was directed against the Zionist settler state’s military locations and personnel;
  • that many of those killed were as a result of the Zionist settler state’s ‘friendly fire’;
  • that many of the statements made by the Zionist settler state were/are fabrications and part of that state’s long standing management of the ‘narrative’ and is pure propaganda.

Added to that the Palestinians have been systematically and institutionally brutalised since the 1930s (and especially so after the illegal declaration of the State of Israel in 1948).

There have been a number of references and comparisons of the Zionist settler state’s bloodlust in Gaza to that of the French in Algeria in the 1960s. However, for reasons I don’t really understand, no reference has been made to a seminal work that came out of that conflict. And that is the book ‘The wretched of the earth’ by Franz Fanon.

On re-reading this book it is amazing how easily Palestine, some 60 years later, could be substituted for Algeria in virtually all contexts. All that’s needed is to change the names of the places, the individuals and organisations concerned and you would think the book had been written yesterday. Especially relevant is Chapter 1 – ‘On Violence’ but also useful to read are some of the case studies in Chapter 5.

Perhaps before people consider they have to condemn the actions of Hamas before they can comment of what is happening today they should consider what settler colonisation does to those people who are brutalised on a daily basis. Perhaps westerners should look to themselves first.

[I came across this article, ‘Would Frantz Fanon have supported the October 7 massacre? His biographer isn’t so sure’ in early February 2024. I don’t think the biographer makes the case for the assumption but produce it here for people to make up their own minds. However, a few of points/comments. 1. The use of the word ‘massacre’ in the article heading. 2. The biographer is Jewish (Zionist?). 3. The article appeared in a popular Israeli newspaper. 4. The propaganda machine of the US-backed Zionist settler state never rests and looks for any way to sow doubts and divisions.]

15th May – Nabka Day – a day of shame for the world

The 15th May in Palestine, and for Palestinians in the diaspora, is Nabka Day, the day following the unilateral declaration of independence by the State of Israel (on 14th May 1948) and the start of, now, 72 years of; persecution; murder; imprisonment; repression; theft of their land; denigration of their dignity; subjection to racist laws; ethnic cleansing; military occupation; and now, especially in Gaza, starvation.

The word ‘nabka’ can be translated as ‘disaster’, ‘catastrophe’ or ‘cataclysm’ – in the sense of 15 May all of them.

In fact, if you take all the sufferings of various peoples throughout the world, all the assaults that have been condemned by international bodies – principally the United Nations Organisation (UNO) – in those 72 years the cause of which, in the main, has been the attempts of the various imperialist powers to maintain or regain control in various parts of the world, and dump them on one nation, one group of people, then those people are the Palestinians.

This struggle between the imperialist powers didn’t start in 1948. In the modern era this issue was being played out before the fighting in the First World War was over and the guns on the Western Front went quiet. To keep the various Arab tribes on side in the war against the Ottoman Empire (an ally of Germany in the war and on the periphery initially but an important aspect of the main war nonetheless) promises were made but never kept.

Whilst to their faces the Arab forces were being told one thing behind their backs the British were making the promise of a Jewish State, with undefined borders, in the area which was known as Palestine and where the vast majority of the population were Arabs (90%). Although the British Government had been talking to Zionist representatives during much of the course of the war there was no consultation whatsoever with the Arab people’s who already lived in a thriving community on the land being given away.

In the same way the land that later became known as the United States of America wasn’t empty of people before the arrival of the European immigrants neither was the land of Palestine.

The Balfour Declaration

It might be worthwhile to briefly have a look at the wording of this short document, a mere 67 words but which has caused so much suffering and injustice to so many people for so many years.

His Majesty’s government view with favour the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people, and will use their best endeavours to facilitate the achievement of this object, it being clearly understood that nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine, or the rights and political status enjoyed by Jews in any other country.

The main question to ask is; what right did the British have to assign someone’s land to another group of people – even if it was for the short term interests of the imperialist power – that is, Zionist/Jewish support and encouragement for United States involvement on the Western Front. Obviously the question is rhetorical – the British did because they could and as was their wont, the consequences of their decision on the local populace were not even considered.

For the Zionists then, and the State of Israel now, there’s nothing in the Declaration of any import after the second comma. They had achieved what they were after, the capitulation of a major imperialist power which various Zionist groups and organisations were able to play with in the years between 1917 and 1948.

Throughout the 1920s and 1930s (and into the 1940s) there were constant conflicts between the Jewish ‘settlers’ and the indigenous population – from the very beginning the settlers assuming they had all the rights. At times the morally weak British forces were in the middle but after 1945 they also became the target of Zionist terrorist attacks, especially those organised by the Irgun and the Stern Gang – both organisations providing future Prime Ministers to the State of Israel.

On 29th November 1947 the plan for the partition of Palestine was taken to a vote in the General Assembly of the United Nations (which had been formed two and a half years earlier with the UN Charter, which includes fine words such as peace, security and human rights) and passed by 33 votes to 13 (with 10 abstentions and one member absent). To give a flavour of the ‘new world order’ after the defeat of Fascism the people most effected by this partition, the Palestinians, weren’t even consulted – let alone invited to argue their case.

For reasons I have been unable to discover the Soviet Union both voted for the partition and two days after Israel declared independence recognised the new ‘state’.

Immediately following the vote in favour of the State of Israel the armed Zionist gangs began to make sure circumstances were the most favourable for themselves in the event of an uprising of the Palestinians that would certainly follow the proposed declaration on 14th May – this included a systematic recording of any military material the British would leave behind and identifying those points of conflict which would be most crucial in the coming battle.

This included the process of ‘ethnic cleansing’ even before the term was even coined. One notorious example was the expulsion and massacre of the inhabitants of the village of Deir Yassin, a small Palestinian village a few kilometres to the west of Jerusalem, on 9th April 1948. The Zionist terrorist organisation, Irgun, boasted they had killed, in cold blood, 256 villagers, and far from being ashamed of this broadcast the fact far and wide and in so doing helped create the climate of fear that resulted in a mass exodus of Palestinians from their homes and land.

By March 1949 more than 750,000 Palestinians, who had once had reasonably secure livelihoods were made refugees by the Jewish settlers and invaders. Most of those who were forced to leave never returned home as has been the fate of the 3 generations (to date) of their descendants.

Deir Yassin wasn’t the only village to suffer massacre and destruction in 1948-49 or later, as at the time of the so-called ‘Six Day War’, of 1967, the villages of Zeita, Beit Nuba and Yalu suffered a similar fate.

This activity of the Jewish terrorist groups is reminiscent of the activities of the Nazis during the Second World War. There are examples where activities of Partisan groups fighting the fascist invaders led to retaliations, massacres and the razing of villages such as Lidice, in Czechoslovakia; Oradour-sur-Glane in France; Borovë in Albania and the hundreds of villages the SS wiped out in the eastern Soviet Union when they invaded in 1942.

It also reminds us of the destruction of the villages of My Lai, in Vietnam, on 16th March 1968, by the Americans. Coincidentally the numbers massacred in Deir Yassin and My Lai are very similar, 250 dead, including 30-50 babies.

It could be said the Zionists were even worse than the Nazis (and the American imperialists in Vietnam) as the Germans and the Americans carried out their slaughter as retaliation and revenge, the Zionists did it because they could and enjoyed it.

If it talks like a Fascist, if it acts like a Fascist, if it kills like a Fascist – then it’s a Fascist.

But it has to be said the Zionists have played it well in the intervening years since the establishment of their illegal state. In 1967 they were able to convince many they were the victim in the war against the neighbouring Arab countries. By being a willing tool of American imperialism they have proven their worth by destabilising the region and being a force which benefits the major oil companies and their various state sponsors. Whereas the Apartheid state of South Africa (with which Israel was on friendly military and trading terms prior to 1992) became an international pariah Israel gets away with following exactly the same policies. They’ve also been able to use the rantings of Holocaust deniers to use anti-Semitism to their own advantage and now criticism of the State of Israel has been classified as an act of anti-Semitism – the only state in the world which has been able to equate race to statehood.

Events subsequent to the Nabka of 1948-49, have only gone to prove that what the Zionist State of Israel learnt from the Hitlerite Nazis is to kill and oppress anyone you see as an enemy, that racism is the way forward, that ethnic cleansing is progress, that war is peace.

It is a stain upon the reputation of the world’s working class, and especially the International Communist Movement, the situation the Palestinians live under was allowed to last 72 days let alone 72 years.

Marx once said the British working class would never achieve freedom if the Irish remained enslaved. The same can be said about the Palestinians.

Israeli settlers abduct, brutally assault 15-year-old Palestinian boy

[This article was first published on the Defense for Children International – Palestine website on 28th August 2021.]

Ramallah, August 27, 2021 – Israeli settlers abducted and physically assaulted a 15-year-old Palestinian boy in the northern West Bank last week.

Israeli settlers abducted and assaulted 15-year-old Tareq Z. on August 17 near Homesh, an evacuated Israeli settlement located south of the occupied West Bank city of Jenin. The settlers pursued and struck Tareq with their car, tied him to the vehicle’s hood, hung him by his arms from a tree, and beat him until he lost consciousness, according to information collected by Defense for Children International – Palestine. He awoke inside an Israeli military vehicle and was subsequently taken by a Palestinian ambulance to the Jenin governmental hospital where he was treated for his injuries including a fractured knee, according to documentation collected by DCIP.

Tareq and five friends set off around 9 a.m. to picnic in an area of their village, Silat Ad-Dhaher, adjacent to Homesh, a former Israeli settlement that was evacuated in 2005. Shortly after the boys’ arrival, they heard voices speaking in Hebrew and saw two Israeli settlers in civilian clothes walking nearby. One of the settlers was armed with a handgun, according to information gathered by DCIP. Frightened, the boys fled. Tareq’s friends managed to escape through nearby fields, but the settlers chased Tareq in their car down an agricultural road and abducted and physically assaulted him.

‘We have documented a sharp increase in the number of Israeli settler attacks on Palestinian children this year, and attacks are increasingly severe,’ said Ayed Abu Eqtaish, accountability program director at DCIP. ‘Israeli authorities persistently fail to investigate settler violence against Palestinian children, and that lack of accountability has undoubtedly led to Israeli settlers becoming more brazen and brutal in their attacks.’

The settlers chased Tareq in their car as he ran down an agricultural road. After striking him with their car, they beat him with wooden sticks as he lay on the ground, according to information gathered by DCIP. After that, two other settlers brought ropes from inside the car, tied Tareq’s hands and feet, carried him and sat him on the hood of their car. The settlers tied the ropes with long metal chains, and they got into the car, holding the metal chains from the windows, and drove to the settlement ruins with Tareq pinned to the hood. When the driver hit the brakes, those holding onto the metal chains let go of them and Tareq fell to the ground.

‘I looked around and saw around 70 settlers. Once they saw me, one of them hit me more than once with a metal bar on my back and legs,’ Tareq recounted to a DCIP field researcher. ‘Then another settler came towards me and pepper sprayed me, while I was screaming and hurting. I was really scared.’

The settlers blindfolded Tareq and tied his hands behind his back with a plastic cord. He remained immobilized as the settlers hit, kicked, slapped and spat on him for around 90 minutes, according to information collected by DCIP. The settlers also hung Tareq from a tree with his feet unable to reach the ground. One of the settlers tased Tareq with an electrified baton, scratched his foot with a sharp object, and burned the sole of his right foot, according to information collected by DCIP.

When he was released from the tree, a settler struck Tareq in the head with a wooden stick and threw him onto a cactus. Tareq lost consciousness and later awoke inside an Israeli military jeep.

After learning about Tareq’s abduction from his friends, Tareq’s family contacted Palestinian authorities. They contacted Israeli authorities that deployed Israeli forces to the area, eventually finding Tareq. The Israeli soldiers brought Tareq to the entrance of an Israeli settlement.

After an hour, Tareq was met by his uncle and a Palestinian ambulance that transported him to the Jenin governmental hospital where he was examined and x-rayed, according to information collected by DCIP.

Tareq sustained bruises and scratches all over his body, in addition to a knee fracture. The sole of his left foot was also wounded and bleeding. He was discharged from the hospital the following day.

Although Homesh was officially evacuated in 2005, a group called Homesh First established a Jewish seminary at the site soon after the evacuation, according to Haaretz. The Israeli settlers there are known to be extremely violent, Haaretz reported.

Israeli settlers commit violence against Palestinians and their property daily throughout the occupied West Bank. Between January 1 and August 23, 2021, the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Aid (OCHA) documented 321 Israeli settler attacks against Palestinian civilians and their property. In May alone, DCIP documented four Israeli settler attacks in which Palestinian children were harmed, including two children who were shot with live ammunition by Israeli settlers.

Israel has an obligation as the ‘Occupying Power’ under international humanitarian law to protect the Palestinian population living under Israeli military occupation. However, DCIP documentation shows that Israeli forces frequently fail to intervene to stop or prevent Israeli settler attacks. Often, Israeli forces protect the Israeli settlers as they carry out attacks and acts of violence against Palestinians and their property.

While they are civilians, Israeli settlers are issued firearms by the Israeli government and many subscribe to ultra-nationalistic beliefs that manifest in extreme violence towards Palestinians, including children. Israeli settlers who attack Palestinians are motivated by the drive to dispossess Palestinians of their land, according to Israeli human rights group Yesh Din.

Despite living in the same territory, Palestinians in the occupied West Bank are subject to Israeli military law, while Israeli settlers living illegally in permanent, Jewish-only communities built on Palestinian land are subject to the Israeli civilian legal system. Since Israeli forces occupied the West Bank in 1967, Israeli authorities have established more than 200 Jewish-only settlements that house around 700,000 Israeli citizens, according to the Times of Israel.

Impunity is rampant for Israeli settlers who attack Palestinians. According to Israeli human rights group Yesh Din, 91 percent of investigations into ideological crimes against Palestinians are closed with no indictments filed.

Israeli authorities consistently fail to investigate complaints filed against settlers. According to Yesh Din, between 2005-2019, 82 percent of investigative files on ideological crimes against Palestinians were closed due to police failures.

It is rare for charges to be filed and even rarer for Israeli settlers to be convicted for violence or offenses against Palestinians. One recent exception was when an Israeli court found Israeli settler Amiram Ben-Uleil, 25, guilty of the racially motivated murder of a Palestinian toddler and his parents. In the early hours of July 31, 2015, Ben-Uleil and another masked man threw firebombs into the home of 18-month old Ali Dawabsheh, four-year-old Ahmad, and their parents, Saad and Riham, in the northern occupied West Bank village of Duma. Only Ahmad, who sustained burns to over 60 percent of his body, survived.

Article 49 of the Fourth Geneva Convention prohibits Israel, the Occupying Power, from transferring its civilians to the Occupied Palestinian Territory. It also prohibits Israel from transferring Palestinians, the protected population, unless necessary for the protected population’s security or out of military necessity. Violations of Article 49 are grave violations of international humanitarian law and amount to war crimes.

The United Nations Security Council reaffirmed the prohibition on establishing settlements in Security Council Resolutions 446, 452, 465, and most recently, 2334. Despite this prohibition, Israel began establishing Jewish-only settlements for Israeli civilians shortly after it occupied the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, and the Gaza Strip in 1967. Israeli authorities frequently displace Palestinian communities and appropriate Palestinian lands to establish these Jewish-only settlements.
