Nahida Izzat – Equal Rights for serial killers, and for their victims???

Can anyone see some ethical flaws with that?
I have no authority to talk in the name of all Palestinians, but I have previously stated that I DO NOT wish the zionist murderers, those of whom were directly or indirectly involved in massacres, theft of land, subjugation and oppression, to remain in Palestine after its liberation from the occupier, except of course for the very few good people amongst them – as no soul should carry the liability of another.
I reiterate, I do not wish the invader, occupier and criminal racists to stay in Palestine, the land that they have incessantly raped, destroyed and disfigured, nor do I desire them to be my neighbours.
They have shown no respect, no appreciation, and no love to this land or to her people.
They do not deserve to live there.
Many of our supporters freak out upon hearing this declaration of mine, they think that I am becoming an uncaring person, or turning into a radical hardliner; and some curiously and attentively listen, then, timidly and modestly, try to understand.
I will try here to elucidate by asking some simple questions, as to why I think it is unreasonable to make the premises of a JUST SOLUTION dependent upon our acceptance –as Palestinians, of giving the right of permanent residency and equal rights of citizenship to all zionist Jewish occupiers in our stolen land of Palestine.
Here are my questions:
- Why do our supporters, progressives who advocate a one state solution, keep asking us – Palestinians – to share our land with those who acquired it by theft, military force and murder?
- Would you share your home with the armed robber who came to steal from you?
- Should a thief get to enjoy the same rights of ownership to materials and assets that he acquired by armed robbery, as the person who was robbed?
- Should a colonialist imperialist occupier regime, who keeps hold of countries by terrorizing the indigenous population and perpetrating endless scores of bloodshed, not be severely sanctioned as legislated wisely by International Law ?
- Should the USA decide to move a few tens of millions of its citizens to Iraq or Afghanistan, confiscate Iraqi lands, give it to those colonizers, then demands that those citizens have equal rights with Iraqis or Afghanis; should we support the equal rights of those colonizers?
- Should the Algerians have waited for the French occupiers to be magnanimous enough to give them "equal rights”?
- Would Algeria be to the Algerians today, had they not fought for the liberation of their country against colonial France?
- Under International Law; is an occupying entity entitled to ANY rights whatsoever?
- Why defend the “right” of the barbaric occupier – who has been engaged in ethnic cleansing and genocide for over six decades, to stay in Palestine after its liberation, and this while keeping land and houses, villages, archaeological treasures, churches and mosques, libraries, they’ve forcibly stolen at gun point?
- Why imagine that it is unrealistic to return the stolen land and property to its legitimate owners while ignoring its mode of acquisition by zionists?
- Why instead of defending the right Palestinians to get ALL their country back; including: homes, orchards and land, supporters ask the victims to keep on giving, by the supposition that returning back stolen property creates "another injustice" to the OCCUPIER?
- Why are we – Palestinians – continuously pressed to accept this scurrilous logic, by our supporters?
- Are people so naïve that they don't realize that doing so, invariably corresponds in fact to… a full support – quasi unconditional, of the zionist thieves and their ideological core which deems colonising Palestine as a “Divine and historical right” for the Jewish people ?
- What does the notion of Justice, social responsibility, fair dealing mean if we are to equate criminals with victims in terms of rights to ownership of stolen property?
My logic is simple:
Supporting "equal rights" in which the occupier gets the privilege of staying in the land they’ve looted and destroyed, while keeping hold of the estate of absentees, would mean a grave violation of the fundamentals of ethical foundations of human social interaction.
The message it gives: bullies, criminals, thieves are allowed to get away with MURDER. literally!
It is a carte blanche for bullies to do what they like, steal, kill, colonize, rape, oppress, torture…
Advocating "equal rights" between the criminal and victim, in which the criminal escapes punishment for his crimes, gets to keep stolen lands, while being rewarded by enjoying the fruits of his aggression in terms of total participation in decision and law making in the land he abused, is an assassination of the concept of justice, on which peaceful Civilization is built and needs to prosper.
Furthermore, I reiterate; any future decision on the status of ILLEGAL COLONIZERS in Palestine should be a PALESTINIAN DECISION; they, and ONLY they, can choose whether to allow their tormentors to stay or not.
فليتكَ تحلو والحياةُ مريرة
وليتكَ ترضى والأنامُ غضابُ
ألا ليتَ الذي بيني وبينكَ عامرٌ
وبيني وبينَ العالمينَ خرابُ
إذا صحَّ منكَ الودُ فالكلُ هينٌ
وكلُ الذي فوقَ الترابِ ترابُ
يارب علمني ان احب الناس كما احب نفسي
وعلمني ان احاسب نفسي كما احاسب الناس
وعلمني ان التسامح هو اكبرمراتب القوة وان
حب الانتقام هو اول مظاهر الضعف
يارب اذا أسأت الى الناس فأعطني شجاعة الإعتذار
وإذا أساء لي الناس فأعطني شجاعة العفو

…to remain in Palestine after its liberation from the occupier…
You talk about the after liberation already…
And all of what you say is right….
Look at the USA….once that land was occupied, too…
The people of that land were murdered, too….
But it was never liberated…the occupier stole it…and they built up their own "culture" (we must abuse the meaning of this word here…can we speak about "culture"? when it comes to the American way of life and all that's dealing with it, from their "art" to their "politics", can we define it as "culture"?)…
May Allah give us all the joy to witness the liberation of Palestine soon…And we do NOT want to see any of those murderers remaining within our "culture".
They have enough friends in Europe, USA and Australia.
It must be an honour for them to give the "Jewish people" a new homeland there…..
And then the people of those lands can decide whether they want liberation or enslavement. Then they can chose (they will not be even forced!-but it'll be their free will!) whether they want to stay in "hell" or whether they want to leave their "homes" and live in "exile" or if they want to fight for their freedom in their homes….and experience the meaning of "resistance" in a real manner as well….
Our lands are ours!
ZIONISTS AND THE REST OF THE INHUMAN CREATURES OUT OF THE ENTIRE MIDDLE EAST! WE WANT TO LIVE HERE IN PEACE!
"….any future decision on the status of ILLEGAL COLONIZERS in Palestine should be a PALESTINIAN DECISION; they, and ONLY they, can choose whether to allow their tormentors to stay or not."
and you won't allow them to stay….

People of Palestine are treated just like native people of 'Mesoamerica' as all those, over 100 million innocent people were systematically poisoned, murdered and subjected to biological warfare – most of all plague and babonic plague germs. That is how the forefathers of these zionists changed 'mesoamerica' to the present day 'America'.
Now their progny is copying the same dirty and henious tricks in Palestine. But in their 'myopic' sight, these idiots seem to forget that the world has changed. Now – whatsoever happens to whomsoever and wherever, is known by all just as it happens.
Furthermore, the zionist wheel of sheer stupidity has turn full circle!
Excellent article.
Thank you Nahida. You are great and this article is great. It is time those who claim to support a Free Palestine stop trying to sound politically correct and start saying it like it is, otherwise its just empty talk and some of that empty talk is actually harming cuz it is against our Palestinian rights yet many dont notice it cuz its sugarcoated with the Free Palestine slogan.
