Occupation always creates the thing it claims to fight. Resistance. You can censor speech, seize property, flood streets with soldiers, rewrite the laws, and call it “stability.” For a while, it works. But pressure builds. History is brutally consistent on this point: When people are ruled instead of represented, resistance stops being a fringe idea and becomes a survival instinct. Empires call it terrorism. The occupied call it breathing. Occupation manufactures its own opposition. #Lebanon #Gaza
