He's the Palestinian, you idiot!
Carried on every grain of soil of the pure land of Gaza, and on every moment of pain and tragedy they endured on the path of suffering and the long road of Calvary, the tortured return, after about fifteen months of the war of extermination that destroyed the crops and the people.
Light and heavy, walking and on every lean camel, their hearts filled with faith and their tongues filled with supplication, the Gazans return to life, like a phoenix rising from the ashes to soar again, spreading their dreams, healing their wounds, and renewing their determination to continue on the path, despite the tragedy that has befallen hearts over the loss of loved ones on a difficult mountainous journey, as has been the story of the Palestinian since the first years of the Nakba, whose horrors were reproduced by the descendants of its perpetrators against the descendants of its victims.
The displaced return, cheering and glorifying God, as if they were on the pure plain of Arafat on the greatest day of Hajj, performing their rituals in the exodus to their homes, after having made sacrifices, not sacrifices, from the bottom of their hearts, for the loss of their fathers, mothers, sons, daughters, grandfathers, and grandmothers, who were forced to leave under the belts of fire and heavy American bombs.
Those who have returned endure the pain of their hearts and are patient with the hardships that befell them on the path of suffering. Some of them have passed away and their souls have flown on the path of Calvary, and some of them are still suffering from their pain, which will never leave their bodies nor be forgotten.
“My brothers and all my family died, but I have no share in being martyred with them,” said the 80-year-old woman, lying on the sand, after her strength had failed her from the effort of walking the Via Dolorosa… a phrase that sums up the store of pains that swell in the hearts of those who are patient from the resounding tragedy.
"It's the Palestinians, stupid," a phrase borrowed from former US President Bill Clinton's saying, "It's the economy, stupid," referring to the reasons for the strength and resilience of a superpower.
The million-strong return of Gazans yesterday is the natural response to the call for genocide incited yesterday by a journalist on an Israeli television channel, who was astonished by the scenes of the returnees, saying: “We should have eliminated two million Palestinians in Gaza.” It is also a quick response to the calls for displacement and the crimes of cleansing that were lightly uttered by the real estate man and dealmaker, who has returned to the White House once again, who harasses stable countries, just as he harasses his female victims, whom he has tried in vain to silence and buy their silence.
