Here I
would like to suggest after two years of violent struggling, and
fighting, which many lives were lost as victims, to think of a new
strategy based on nonviolent struggle, which became known and acceptable
internationally and locally, where this weapon will disarm Sharon and
his government from all their justifications and violent reactions
against our people specially in the absence of the military power
balance between the Palestinian people, and the Israeli army, as it is
known that the nonviolent struggle is the struggle of the weak against
the strong, and is suitable when one of the conflict sides has rights,
moral, and mental power, but do not have the military methods or the
necessary weapons.
This is
naturally what happened with our prophet Mohammad (GOD Bless Him) in his
early days as a profit, as he was alone with no military or material
power, but he was holding a superior message, which he started
peacefully, getting exposed to all kind of violence and humiliation by
his village (Quraish), but he never answered to this violence with
violence, but by praying to god and spreading the message of truth which
he was holding, and he succeeded actually in speaking hi message without
replying to Quraish violence. This is a clear example that the
nonviolent way is one of the methods used in Islam; another example is
the Christ way to reply to those against him, when they were seeking all
methods to provoke him, but he was stronger mentally and spiritually,
and did not use violence against violence, and continues his way in
spite of all that where he succeeded in spreading the message of
Christianity, which is the most widely spread worldwide. But if we took
new examples, we can consider what Martin Luther king did in the USA,
during African American struggle for equality, and justice, where he
succeeded to get African American their rights in equality in the USA,
which is the greatest proofs for the strength of the nonviolence
struggle, and its morality and effectiveness.
In a
return to our current situation in Palestine, if we took a look to the
situation between us and the forces of occupation, it is clear that the
power balance is in the favor of occupation from the angle of the
military, economical, and financial forces in general, where they have
tanks, airplanes, and different kinds of weapons and financial support,
while we in return have our moral strength, because we are the ones who
live under occupation, while they are the one who occupies us, we are
the one who are exposed to prejudice, while they are the one who
implement that., and collective punishments on us among other things,
while all these methods and violations of human rights that they use
cannot be defended morally, neither
locally nor internationally......
