To further nothing else than the status quo, it suffice to be solely realist and never challenge the forces in presence, especially when the balance of forces are disproportionally unfavorable.
There is nothing new in this principle, since after all conquest and occupation are nothing else than the direct result of precisely unfavorably disproportional forces.
Fortunately, this is never where the story ends.
Indeed even ultra-microscopic infectious agents can cause havoc or death to human bodies million times stronger, larger and equipped with massive medical weaponry.
Indeed antique Rome was invaded, conquered and sacked by a tiny band of Barbarians haphazardly armed with forks and sticks, and a visionary leader named Adalric.
They defeated the mightiest army in the world at that time. Before the battle, sons of powerful Romans came to the Barbarian's compound, to mock them. Adalric sardonically replied to their snarling questions, that “the thicker the grass, the easier to cut”
Indeed history is replete of stories of the underdog overthrowing his master, ever heard of Achille's heel, of David and Goliath, of Fidel Castro liberating Cuba, of the Algerian Liberation... etc etc ?
Indeed most discoveries in science, in practically every field, are the fruit of challenging the mighty certitudes of the time, and the inflexible powers that enforce them.
Realistically, those who hijacked power and capital, those who hold entire populations at check with armies, tanks, prisons and walls, do everything to protect their privileges, so they discourage change, disillusion populations, shackle them in debt, make them feel inferior and impotent.
That is why those who really do change the paradigm always appear at first to be just “dreamers” envisioning the impossible.
Yet there always comes a moment when the status quo, whilst protected by means “too powerful to fail”, gets challenged by forces emerging from where they are expected the least, and who aim with great vision and great precision at Achille's heel.
Furthermore, this emergence generally gains momentum at the very time when the holders of power and capital have become incompetent, and fallen into the puerile belief that they are “invincible”.
Concurrently some are tricked into acceptance, by letting them believe that polite requests for some clemency and crumbs of freedom, will change the tyrant's nature. They say that diplomacy will convince an oppressor regime to accept as his equals its subjects and slaves from whom he took everything! What a lack of logic, since the premise to conquest, occupation and cruel oppression is the strict opposite of compassion, social justice and equality.
When the tyrant occupation regime is bent on annihilating you, it is totally delusional to seek compliance and diplomacy. At least that is how it appears at first.
In Palestine, just as anywhere else, when a mad dog enters and tries to take over the house, you have but three options:
1. you ruin your life by running away and let him have the house
2. you get killed while you gently pet him in the hopes he would become a friendly dog.
3. you place yourself strategically, so that you can kill the mad dog,
At closer inspection the adroit coordination of both the unrealistic polite diplomacy and the dreamer's asymmetric resistance, does exponentially increase the chances to reverse the balance of results and achieve the third option -fully. There is no coincidence that most movements of Liberation operated with this dual political-military approach, whether in Ireland, Algeria, Chiapas, etc.
Knocking gently at the gates of oppression does not open the doors to freedom and progress. You need to dream their opening, and then to break them open, and finally you must chase to hell those who built and locked these somber gates and doors.
I would like to remind here that the “Peace” melodies played by fake sirens, are crypto-zionist lullabies designed to neutralize the Resistance.
“Extremism in the defense of Liberty is no vice”*
and
“Moderation in the pursuit of Justice is no virtue”*
and
“Moderation in the pursuit of Justice is no virtue”*
In conclusion, the return of lasting Peace to Palestine and the Middle East will coincide with the return home of its Arab people. It will be preceded by a deafening clamor coming from everywhere around the planet, ordering to the gory occupier:
“GET THE HELL OUT OF PALESTINE”**
