From my standpoint, just as injustice causes pessimism to spread, so justice is the source of all true optimism
Optimism should first and foremost be built on will. Despite being subjected to unprecedented injustice for 76 years, including massacres, forced displacement, arrest, demolition and destruction, our people have a strong will that strengthens their steadfastness and devotion to their land and struggle.
Apart from injustice itself, the greatest evil is when the oppressor does not pay the price for his injustice and escapes punishment. The international community must put an end to impunity for genocide and atrocities committed by the fascist Israeli occupation army in Palestine.
There are things that cause the wheel of justice to turn faster, such as the ICC warrants issued for the arrests of Netanyahu and his ex-minister of war Gallant.
I am optimistic, and indeed certain, that justice will prevail and that our people will regain their rights
The ICJ has also accepted the lawsuit filed against Israel by South Africa. The ICJ was clear in stating that Israel’s occupation of the Gaza strip and the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, is unlawful, along with the associated settlement regime, annexation and use of natural resources. Amnesty International has also accused Israel of committing genocide against Palestinians in Gaza.
The more justice the world sees, the more peace there will be. Justice is achieved by returning rights to those who should possess them and by punishing oppressors.
The Palestinian people are struggling against a settler occupation that has an ideology defined by injustice, slaughter, arrogance, uprooting, destruction, forgery and lies.
I am optimistic, and indeed certain, that justice will prevail and that our people will regain their rights, most notably through the creation of a fully sovereign Palestinian state with East Jerusalem as its capital, as a full member of the United Nations, and the return of Palestinian refugees in accordance with UN General Assembly resolution 194.
