IN THE NAME OF GOD THE COMPASSIONATE THE MERCIFUL
*THIS DAY IN HISTORY
*The 17TH of December 1992
*The Mass Deportation of 415 Palestinians
*Elapsed Time: 15 years.
On the 01st of February 1993, the Zionist Prime Minister announced “Israel’s” decision to allow 100 of the deported men to return and to reduce the exile period for the remaining 300 in half, to one year, in return, he stated, “Israel” had assurances from the United States that it would block U.N. sanctions, which had been proposed in response to
“ Israel 's” continuing defiance of the demands of resolution 799 (1992). On that same day, U.S. Secretary of State Warren Christopher, while at the United Nations, stated that as a result of the above agreement that had been reached, he believed that further action by the Security Council would be necessary.
The Palestinian deportees‘s Spokesman the Late Mujahid Abdul Aziz Al Rantissi
(May Allah Bless him in the Eden Gardens), rejected the “Israeli” offer and said that no one would return unless all of them were allowed to do so, in addition, Palestinian leaders reaffirmed that the only way out is the full implementation of resolution 799 (1992) and that they would not attend the peace negotiations until a solution to the deportation crisis is found in accordance with the said resolution.
It would be worth mentioning in a brief manner , the very thorny and Godly rewarded path chosen by this great Mujahid who was born in the village of Yibna (between Jaffa and Askalan) in 1947, in what is now “Israel”, his family joined an estimated 750,000 Palestinians fleeing their homes to escape terrorist organisations such as Lehi, which was responsible for the Deir Yassin massacre on 9 April 1948.His family eventually settled at the Khan Younis refugee camp south of Gaza where, like other refugee families, it fell prey to abject poverty, especially in the years immediately following the events of 1948.
During his childhood, Al-Rantisi was so poor that he went to elementary school barefoot and had to work at an early age, while still in school, to help support his family, upon finishing high school in 1965, Al-Rantisi enrolled in the College of Medicine at the University of Alexandria in Egypt where he received a degree in medicine in 1972. A few years later, he obtained a Masters' degree in pediatrics from the same university, broad- minded; Al-Rantisi was exposed to the ideas of the Muslim Brotherhood which he continued to espouse until his Martyrdom, as he was deeply influenced by such popular Islamic revivalist preachers such as Abdul-Hamid Kishk and Al-Mahallawi.
In 1987, Al-Rantisi was one of seven co-founders of Hamas, along with such prominent figures as Sheikh Ahmed Yassin, Salah Shehadeh and Ibrahim Maqadmeh, with the stated purpose of fighting the Zionist occupation under the banner of Islam., all these Three Mujahideen and co-founders were assassinated by “Israeli” missile strikes before him, Predictably, this soon put Al-Rantisi and his colleagues on a direct collision course with the “Israeli” occupation regime.
In January 1988, just after the outbreak of the first Intifada (1987-1992), Al-Rantisi was arrested for the first time by the Israeli army on charges of “endangering the safety and security” of the “Israeli” occupation forces and jailed for three weeks, after his release, Al-Rantisi was quickly jailed again on 4 March 1988, when he was sentenced to two years and a half in prison for “organising and leading an illegal group” and “involvement in preparing and printing anti- Israeli leaflets” it was later revealed that during his interrogation, Rantisi was subjected to physical and psychological torture at the hands of “Israel’s” Shin Bet.
Al-Rantisi was released from his prison cell in September 1990, but was re-incarcerated before the end of the year and placed under “administrative detention” for an entire year at the Ketziot detention camp in the Negev desert, one of the most crucial phases of Al- Rantisi's life began on the 17th of December 1992 (Subject of our Historic diary) when he and 415 other Islamic Militants were deported to South Lebanon in the village of Marj Al-Zuhour, Al- Rantisi for the first time rose to prominence outside of Hamas ranks as he became the official spokesman of the deportees.
When Al-Rantisi and the deportees were allowed to return, he was imprisoned by “Israel” for close to three years for “indulging in illegal activities” at Marj Al- Zuhour Al-Rantisi was finally released from “Israeli” prison in 1996 to become one of the most outspoken critics of the Oslo Accords, this invited the wrath of the Palestinian Authority whose various security agencies began hounding Al-Rantisi for his harsh criticism of the Oslo process and advocating Jihad instead.
This uncompromising stance made Rantisi a marked Man, as such and on the 10th of June 2003, he narrowly escaped an assassination attempt when an “Israeli” helicopter gunship fired several missiles at his car, the attack failed to shake him as he emerged at a press conference an hour later more defiant, vowing to continue the resistance “until we earn our freedom from these criminal colonisers”.
Al Rantisi knew all too well he was likely going to be a Martyr of the Palestine’s Islamic Cause, in one of his last interviews with the BBC, he said he would rather go down fighting than die of natural causes: “If I were to choose between death as a result of a cardiac arrest and death in an Apache attack, I will choose the Apache.” and so it was , thus on the 17th of April 2004, Al-Rantisi was Martyred by “Israeli” jet fighters highly achieving the yearning desire of the lofty path of Martyrdom for the sake of the Good cause of Islam and Palestine.
