In an opinion article published on the Palestine Online website, the author Dr. Fayez Abu Shamala responds to Dr. Sufian Abu Zaida's remarks in an interview with Al-Ghad channel, where the latter objected to the use of the term 'Great Crossing' to describe the events of October 7. The author believes that this day is great because of its results that changed the world, shattered the chains of Zionism, and awakened the world's conscience, citing the victories of Zahran Mamdani in New York and Abdul in Michigan as effects of the crossing. The author rejects blaming the crossing for settlement expansion, considering that security coordination with Israeli intelligence is the direct cause, and asserts that the Oslo Accords did not liberate a single inch. He also rejects the accusation that the crossing hindered the liberation of the land, pointing out that the 1967 borders were removed since 1967. He concludes that the battle is ongoing and extended, and the results are in the interest of the Arab-Palestinian right.
