The images that are coming from Jerusalem is a proof of the righteousness of the Palestinian cause. They are a proof of the resilience of the Palestinian people and especially the Jerusalemites that are struggling against the Israeli Zionist machine. This machine that is trying so hard and relentlessly, first, to erase the identity of the city by controlling and chocking the Palestinian in their daily lives and driving out of the [old] city and, second, to create a new form of identity that would coincide with their weak, unfounded claims.
What is very inspiring in these images is that they manifest a new way of resistance. It is a way that has been imposed by the circumstances. Praying in the streets. It has become a defiant way to resist the occupation and its arrogance.
What is interesting about this form of resistance is that it is integral in our way of life. As Muslims, we pray five times a day, wherever we can. Therefore, we do not grow tired from it. It is also a strong and clear message that the identity of the city will not be an easy target even when everybody turned their backs on the Jerusalemites.
Even if the form of resistance here is just praying in the streets, it has been faced with suppression and violence. It is an indication that the occupation is hugely affected by this form of resistance and that it is unable to deal with it. It was reported that three Palestinians have been executed and hundreds have been injured last Friday (21st of July 2017) by settlers and/or the occupation forces. In addition, injured worshippers have been attacked by dogs and kidnapped from hospitals. Yes, the only democracy in the Middle East.
It is important to say here that when we talk about the identity of Jerusalem, we are not talking about a religious identity, but we are talking about a city that has incorporated various religions that have lived together without trying to step on one another, except when we talk about foreign invaders.
