Israel continues destruction of West Bank’s Jenin as Gaza ceasefire holds

Arab League warns Israel’s ‘brutal’ operation in West Bank’s Jenin threatens to ‘destroy all efforts at peace’.

The Jenin Brigades said its fighters detonated a “guided bomb” against an Israeli military infantry force that was advancing inside the besieged Palestinian camp.

The coalition group of armed fighters added on its Telegram channel that its operatives “confront the storming infantry forces and military vehicles with heavy showers of bullets and explosive devices, achieving confirmed injuries”.

The Jenin Brigades also reported detonating an explosive device planted under a road in the al-Damaj axis in Jenin camp, and said a military vehicle was attacked and put out of commission by an explosive.

    Their most likely to succeed strategy would be pursuing victory through the Israeli court system (which was relatively on their side, leading to the attempted “court reform” power grab that was the political story in Israel prior to October 7). Their next best bet would be Israeli politics moving away from the current right wing nationalist coalition.

    Just gonna say that the problem in Israel isn’t just the current right wing coalition. Israel has been an Apartheid Nazi state since its founding in 1948, and before that it was always meant to be an Apartheid Nazi state. That aside, this was the plan after the Second Intifada ended in 2005, but here’s the thing: The peaceful resistance project failed. It’s over, peaceful resistance from the inside will never bring change for Palestinians. At this point the PA’s only role is to enforce Israel’s Apartheid on the Palestinians of the West Bank. I’ll also point out that the Israeli court system is a dead end because the West Bank isn’t governed by Israeli civil law. It’s governed by Israeli military law as a military occupation. The court system you’re talking about explicitly doesn’t protect the Palestinian occupied territories.

    In fairness to the PA, Palestine has an approximately 0% chance of winning a war against Israel. And an approximately 100% chance of them getting blown to pieces if they ever had an attack successful enough for Israel to fully mobilize against them (see Gaza).

    The Gaza war has been/was an absolute disaster for Israel so if anything the violent resistance route is much more effective than whatever the PA is doing.

    But at least it has a plausible chance.

    It… doesn’t. The last time Israel had a leader willing to engage in good faith negotiations was in 1996 during the Oslo accords, and they killed him for it.
