These are the six aspects, according to Taha Abdel Rahman, the Moroccan philosopher, that explain the Al-Aqsa flood as self-defense.
So, the first thing to know is that Israel is an occupying party. That means they took over a place that wasn't originally theirs. The Al-Aqsa Flood is seen as a way for the Palestinians to fight back and get back what was taken from them.
Israel has been keeping Gaza under a tight blockade for 18 years. This means that the people living there have been trapped and unable to get the things they need. The Al-Aqsa Flood is seen as a way for the Palestinians to push back against this blockade and demand their freedom.
The area where the flood happened is not actually part of Israel. It was taken by Israel after the United Nations recognized them as a state in 1948. The Palestinians see the flood as a way to show that they want this stolen land back.
Israel has been spreading lies about the flood, saying things that aren't true. Some Israeli sources have even admitted that they were lying. This shows that the Israeli narrative about the flood is not trustworthy.
Israel was created 75 years ago by pushing out the Palestinians from their own land. This means that Israel is seen as an occupying entity. The Palestinians believe that any occupation should be resisted, especially when it's based on ancient myths that call for the extermination of the indigenous population.
Lastly, the Palestinians believe that Israel has turned things upside down. They think that Israel, the one doing the occupying, is claiming self-defense when it's actually the Palestinians who are defending themselves against the occupation.
So, those are the six aspects, according to Taha AbdulRahman, the Moroccan philosopher, which explain that Al-Aqsa Flood as an act of self-defense. It's important to remember that Palestinians are facing the most brutal and merciless war since the 2nd WW.
The Aftermath
Since the Al-Aqsa Flood, there has been a devastating war on Gaza. Israel killed thousands of civilians lives mostly children and women, and even more people have been injured by IDF. Palestinians are facing genocide.
