Palestine - December 22, 2024

Statement from the WOL (Within Our Lifetime) Movement of pro-Palestinian youth in the US against the Palestinian Authority:

The struggle for Palestine lives in every corner, from Jenin to Gaza, carried out by people who refuse to give up their land, their dignity or their future.

For over two weeks, the traitorous “Palestinian” Authority forces continue their siege on Jenin Camp, the cradle of resistance. Jenin is not just the cradle of resistance but it is also the cradle of loyalty to the people of Palestine. Since October 7, Jenin has been targeted for its actions in solidarity with Gaza. However, the suppression of resistance in Jenin Camp predates October 7, as the camp has long been a target of the occupation forces and now it is a target of the PA forces, who justify their treacherous actions by labeling the resistance as “outlaws”, the same term used by the occupation forces when pursuing fighters in the West Bank. In reality, it is the PA forces who are the outlaws as they have repeatedly betrayed the Palestinian cause and abandoned Gaza. Rather than confronting the foreign occupation forces, they focus on suppressing resistance from Jenin Camp to the Gaza Strip, while the so-called “outlaws” of Jenin Camp remain steadfast in their commitment to the liberation of Palestine.

The ongoing siege of Jenin Camp is being carried out under the "Fenzel Plan", a security strategy developed by Michael Fenzel, the U.S. Security Coordinator between “israel” and the “Palestinian” Authority. Fenzel’s plan seeks to suppress resistance in the region to pave the way for peace deals, normalization, and coordination with the occupation. However, this plan is bound to fail, much like the Oslo Accords, as the people of Palestine have consistently rejected plans of normalization while supporting resistance. This is the reality not only in Jenin Camp but across the entire West Bank, where the idea of capitulation has been rejected, and the principled idea of resistance continues to be embraced by the masses.

Local sources have reported that Fenzel met with the PA security forces before the operation in Jenin. It is also no surprise that this campaign is being carried out after the IOF has repeatedly failed to defeat the resistance in Jenin Camp. As a result of the PA's ongoing siege, Rebhi Shalabi, Yazid Ja'ayseh, and the child Mohammed Al-Amer ascended to martyrdom. As the siege continues, families are deprived of water and electricity. Children are being denied access to education, and journalists are being silenced to prevent them from reporting on the situation.
