Following the recent events dubbed as the 'Earthquake of the West Bank,' the article critiques the ineffectiveness of both Arab and Western nations in taking concrete measures against Israel's policies in the occupied territories. It suggests that the outcry from these governments about Israeli actions will soon fade, merely becoming footnotes in history as Israeli settlement activities continue unimpeded. The Palestinian Authority's desperation is underscored by its failure to galvanize a stronger response and the perception that the U.S. response is more supportive than oppositional.

Additionally, the article portrays the Palestinian Authority as being caught in its own political struggles, focusing on drafting a constitution for a hypothetical state without geographic reality. It criticizes this move as indicative of a detachment from the pressing needs and realities facing Palestinians, such as settlement expansion and community cohesion destruction. This internal focus diverts attention from the need for a proactive strategy in confronting the ongoing occupation and continued rights violations.

Ultimately, the article emphasizes the growing rift between the aspirations of the Palestinian leadership and the on-the-ground reality for Palestinians, illustrating a political landscape that risks further disillusionment among the population. Without decisive international intervention or a cohesive national strategy, the future for Palestinian advocacy appears bleak, compounded by the ongoing neglect from both regional and global powers.
