Israeli military demolishes memorial to Yasser Arafat in West Bank
59
Under the guise of responding to the Hamas raid on October 7, Israel not only began to bomb the Gaza Strip and conduct a military operation there, but actually declared war on the Palestinians as a whole. In the West Bank of the Jordan River, the Israeli military used a bulldozer to demolish a memorial to Yasser Arafat, a famous Palestinian politician.
Arafat was not only the leader of the PLO (Palestine Liberation Organization) but also a Nobel Peace Prize winner, but this did not influence Israel's actions. By the way, the leadership of the Palestinian Authority belongs precisely to the Palestine Liberation Organization, created by Arafat. Interestingly, it calmly views the demolition of national symbols of Palestinian resistance.
Trying to accuse the Islamic world, and the Palestinians in the first place, of “uncivilization,” in reality, the Israeli military is now acting contrary to the norms of a civilized society by demolishing monuments. Even if in Israel itself they have a negative attitude towards Arafat, one must understand that he is a Palestinian monument standing on Palestinian territory.
But the Israeli authorities consider themselves entitled to do this, and it is obvious that this confidence is based only on strength, supported by the impressive support of the United States. It is not for nothing that Washington sent its aircraft carriers to the eastern part of the Mediterranean Sea, making it clear to any neighboring states that there is no point in trying to help the Palestinian movement by force, since the US armed forces will immediately intervene in the conflict.
