'The fact that Moroccans are mobilizing in large numbers against their country's normalization with Israel only two years after the agreement is a sign of things to come.'
2022 was a particularly bloody year in Palestine, according to U.N. Mideast Envoy Tor Wennesland, who said that it was"on course to be the deadliest year for Palestinians in the West Bank since… 2005."
Moroccans, like other Arab nations, are following the news with alarm, especially following the swearing-in of Israel's new extremist government of Benjamin Netanyahu and his far-right fascist ilk—the likes of Bezalel Smotrich and Itamar Ben-Gvir. These two individuals' constant targeting of Al-Aqsa Mosque, in particular, has a great emotional impact on Moroccans, especially since Moroccoas the chair of the Al-Quds Committee of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, which is tasked with the protection of Al-Aqsa Mosque.
Israel wants to normalize with the Arabs and tap into their massive markets and economic largess without having, in return, to relinquish its military occupation or grant Palestinians basic freedoms. Politically engaged Arab masses understand this well, and are growingly mobilizing against their governments' betrayal of Palestine.
The self-serving and limited gains of normalization are likely to turn into a political liability in coming years. It is time for Morocco and others to reconsider their ties with Israel, as they risk political isolation and social instability, a far greater price to pay than the empty promises of Washington and Tel Aviv.Ramzy Baroud is a journalist and the Editor of the Palestine Chronicle.
