*Interviews with Khaled Barakat*

“For the past month, the world has been witnessing the true criminal and 
vicious nature of the Zionist regime: war crimes, crimes against 
humanity and genocide perpetrated by a brutal, monstrous regime that 
Western imperialism has established in our homeland,” said Khaled 
Barakat, Palestinian writer and member of the Executive Committee of the 
Masar Badil, the Palestinian Alternative Revolutionary Path Movement, in 
a series of interviews on Al-Mayadeen, Palestine Today, Al-Manar, and 
with the Masar website.

“For the past 75 years, these imperialist powers have established a 
colonial project in our homeland, and the Palestinian people have been 
confronting this genocidal regime. What is happening in Gaza today is 
not taking place for the first time. It has happened many times in our 
history. Palestinians will never forget the hundreds of towns and 
villages that were burned down, destroyed and erased in 1947 and 1948. 
Palestinians also will never forget the many massacres carried out by 
the Zionist against them, from Deir Yassin, to Kufr Qasem, to Sabra and 
Shatila, to the many massacres in Gaza in the 1950s, the 1960s, and 
throughout the history of Zionism, up until the present day,” Barakat said.

*October 7: the launch of the new Palestinian revolution*

“October 7 was not only a brave and heroic operation, a massive 
offensive undertaken by the Palestinian resistance, but it will always 
be remembered as the day of the launch of the new Palestinian 
revolution, the day when Palestinians revived their revolution, 30 years 
after the futile path of Oslo and the so-called ‘peace process,'” he said.

Barakat urged the Palestinian revolutionary youth to carry on the banner 
and the flame of revolution. “From generation after generation, 
Palestinians will fight until Israel is defeated. ‘Israel’ has no right 
to exist in our homeland. In the end, it will pass through in our 
history just like every colonizer and invader that came to our land for 
thousands and thousands of years,” he said.

“This well-funded, trained Zionist army, equipped with the latest in 
military technology from the United States and every imperialist power, 
is now being confronted and defeated on the ground by the Palestinian 
resistance. There is nothing brave about bombing children and families 
from 10,000 feet in the sky, sitting in a U.S.-made and -funded war 
machine and pushing a button to kill. The real bravery is seen in the 
fighters who are resisting today, carrying on the path of October 7, and 
who continue to emerge from the rubble, confronting their tanks, burning 
them and destroying them at point-blank range,” Barakat said.

“The ‘Israeli’ command must read ‘The Art of War’ by Sun-Tzu. You can 
have a very strong army with hundreds of thousands of soldiers. But when 
you have an arrogant, ignorant leadership, when you have a commander 
that is working for his own personal interests and the preservation of 
his political career through Palestinian blood, your defeat is imminent. 
A small, brave, organized fighting force can defeat a well-equipped, 
large army. This is a lesson of history, what we have learned and what 
humanity has learned, from Algeria, to Vietnam and today in Palestine,” 
he noted.

*‘Israel’ is doomed to be defeated*

Barakat said that ‘Israel’ is doomed to be defeated in what he called 
the Palestinian October battle. “Every day, we see from the resistance 
that they have a very high morale, despite their grief and outrage at 
the genocidal assault on the Palestinian civilian population. The 
resistance is unified, completely: Islamic, nationalist and leftist 
forces, fighting together, on one path, one united front. Palestinians 
fight together because they know what ‘Israel’ wants is to erase them. 
This is a battle of existence for us and for the resistance. And 
therefore our people have no choice but resistance, no choice but 
steadfastness, and no choice but unity,” Barakat said.

“‘Israel’ is being exposed all over the world. Their strategic position 
has been diminished and their dominance in the region has taken a very 
strong blow. They are living a very severe internal crisis from which 
they will not emerge,” he said. He added, “The statements by this 
fascist Zionist minister, Amichai Eliyahu, threatening to nuke Gaza, 
only underlines the nature of this entity and exposes the reality of its 
nuclear program, developed and protected by and with Western imperialist 
powers. The Zionist commanders and ministers who told him not to repeat 
his statements did not do so because they are opposed to nuclear warfare 
against the Palestinian people but because they are achieving the same 
effect by throwing tons and tons and tons of bombs and explosives on 
Palestinian homes, schools, universities and hospitals in Gaza.”

*Palestinian resistance blocks the road of normalization*

“Yes, the Palestinian resistance has blocked the path of normalization 
and defeat in the region,” he said. “This was an intentional action to 
block ‘Israeli’ advancement in the region. The Palestinian resistance is 
going to emerge from this battle strengthened. From every battle in 
which the resistance has been engaged, in 2008, 2014, 2021 and beyond, 
the resistance has accumulated greater experience and capabilities. They 
draw lessons, improve their strategies and coordinate better, and with 
this experience, they had two major achievements: one, implementing a 
strategy to defend Gaza, developed for the past eight years and not the 
past weeks or even the past two years, developed after the 2014 
aggression; and two, the central leadership command on the ground and 
the relationship between the popular cradle and the resistance.”

“The relationship between the people and the armed resistance can be 
described as the relationship between blood and flesh. They cannot be 
separated in the body. The people know that their great sacrifices will 
not go in vain,” Barakat said.

“It is clear to everyone that the United States is leading this war and 
the Zionists are just a tool: criminals, gangsters and hired 
mercenaries. Zionists are mercenaries of imperialists. The Zionists have 
repeatedly declared that their ‘culture and values’ and ‘friends and 
allies’ are in the West. Palestinians, however, belong to Palestine, 
their homeland, their ancestral and native land. It is clear that the 
imperialist powers did not envision granting their own land to the 
Zionist project that they claim to love so much, but instead implanted 
it in our region and against our people,” Barakat said.

*Palestinians in exile and diaspora regaining their role*

He predicted that Palestinians in exile and diaspora have also begun to 
regain their involvement in all forms of struggle, including armed 
struggle, particularly in Lebanon. “This has already been apparent, and 
we can expect a rise in the armed struggle in the Golan Heights, 
potentially in Jordan and elsewhere in the region. This reflects the 
restoration of the struggle in the Arab region to its compass, to the 
primary contradiction, with the Zionist regime and with imperialism. For 
the past 12 years, Arabs in Syria, Libya, Yemen and Egypt have been 
directed to kill other Arabs, directly fueled, funded and overseen by 
the United States, the CIA, European powers, and their reactionary 
regime puppets in the region. Today, our Arab youth are turning to the 
primary contradiction, and we believe that Arab youth across the Arab 
homeland will join the Palestinian struggle and the Palestinian 
resistance. Those who can organize, those who can right, those who paint 
and compose: every skill needs to be mustered in this battle to stop the 
aggression and to emerge victorious,” he said.

“We see Zionists in North America and Europe inciting against the 
Palestinian people and supporters of Palestine, promoting hatred and 
racism. They believe that the relationship with Western imperialism is 
going to save them and create a victory for them. They look back at the 
founding of ‘Israel’, at the Balfour declaration. They look at their 
support from the U.S., their support from France especially the building 
of their nuclear facilities. And when we express our anger at the 
atrocities of the Zionist regime, they know that the French police and 
the German police and the U.S. police are going to be tools of 
oppression to serve the interests of imperialism and of the Zionist 
project,” he said.

*Zionist war criminals will be prosecuted in the courts of a liberated 
Palestine*

He called on the movement to “emphasize the calls to end the genocide, 
stop war crimes, stop imperialist participation, free all Palestinian 
prisoners, and to free Palestine, to liberate Palestine from the river 
to the sea,” saying that “It is not enough to call for a ceasefire. We 
must be clear that we are calling on the U.S. and ‘Israel’ to cease 
their fire. We want the liberation of Palestine.”

Barakat noted the role of some Jewish anti-Zionist organizations and 
individuals that are joining the mobilizations for Palestinian 
liberation, emphasizing the importance of taking a clear position 
against Zionism. “To not condemn Zionism by this point is an act of 
cowardice and opportunism. The same applies to those Palestinian liberal 
voices and so-called Muslim and Christian voices that refuse to be clear 
on Palestine. We know that our allies are all of those who confront 
imperialism; the Black liberation movements, the Filipino movement, the 
liberation movements and workers’ movements all over the world. We 
salute all of those who are fighting together against all forms of 
repression against the illusions promoted by the capitalist media,” he said.

“We need a popular tribunal for war criminals. We do not trust the ICC, 
although we will be happy to see them arrest the Zionist war criminals 
and hold them accountable. But we know that these systems were made to 
arrest Africans, and not Tony Blair, George Bush and their Zionist 
cronies. Zionist war criminals and those who support them will one day 
soon be prosecuted in front of the world, in the courts of a liberated 
Palestine. Today, the rise of resistance in the region means that Arabs 
are on the forefront of fighting imperialism, Zionism and reactionary 
regimes. Arabs should be proud to be in the forefront, fighting with 
words and bullets for liberation,” Barakat said.
