No to displacement.. Yes to reconstruction
While US President Donald Trump insists on rejecting immigration to America and deporting immigrants from America to their countries, he proposes the immigration of the people of Gaza, sometimes to Jordan and Egypt, and other times to Albania. He is certain and aware that the people of the Gaza Strip want to return to their villages and cities from which they were forcibly displaced in 1948, and they are striving to do so as much as they can, and they have not and will not waive their right to return. So how can the new US president push immigrants in his country to return to their countries, while he seeks to displace the Palestinians from their land, homeland and country?
The scenes of the Gazans returning to the north like a roaring wave immediately after the deal goes into effect, is a clear message of reality, and the determination and patience of the people is the best response to what Trump has proposed, and another slap in the face of all plans of displacement, ethnic cleansing and genocide. It is one of the greatest scenes of the era that expresses the truth of the reality linked to an unquestionable adherence and clinging, despite the factors of the tragedy and its dire circumstances, and despite the genocide that made the Gaza Strip an unlivable place, as hospitals, universities, schools, homes, infrastructure and superstructure were destroyed, and missiles and bombs burned everything in the Gaza Strip, which became a piece of rubble, but the people of Gaza remain, determined to rebuild everything that was destroyed by the machine of war of extermination.
Trump began his first days in the White House with a spiteful statement that does not bode well, which means that the four years of relations with the United States of America will be like the previous ones, and it seems that they will be more conflicting in light of Trump’s continued attempt to impose his previous vision, represented by what is known as the Deal of the Century, which is based on stealing Palestinian national rights in favor of the occupation, and imposing new maps according to the occupation’s expansionist ambitions.
The old-new displacement plan was previously rejected by the Palestinians, and they reject it today as they renew their adherence to their land, determined to rebuild everything that was destroyed by the war and genocide machine. This is Gaza, where people lived through months of genocide in all its forms, and suffered death, hunger, thirst, and bitter cold, and never thought of emigrating. Rather, as soon as the first phase of the deal began, people returned to the northern Gaza Strip and the northern Gaza City in an unprecedented human rush. The scenes of return were messages of truth carried by the masses of returnees, meaning that there is no deportation or displacement, but rather the reconstruction of Gaza is the goal and what is required.
Stopping the war completely, rebuilding the Gaza Strip, and lifting the unjust siege on it is a duty of the entire world, and the Trump administration must work on this, and stop its statements about displacement, as there is no force on the face of this earth that can displace a people who were subjected to genocide and did not emigrate, but rather held on more to their rights, land, and homeland, and resisted all ethnic cleansing operations, and this is enough to bring down all hostile and suspicious plans and schemes.
