Gaza - Saba:
The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine described the statements of US President Donald Trump, in which he called for the displacement of the residents of the Gaza Strip to a state in the Middle East, as revealing a sick colonial mentality that brings to mind the displacement, Nakba, and uprooting projects that the Palestinian people have suffered since 1948.
The Front said in a statement issued on Saturday that Trump's statements, This intersects with what the American network NBC reported about the Trump administration's plan to transfer nearly one million Palestinians from Gaza to Libya.
The Front added, "This is the same mentality the United States has practiced since its inception through policies of genocide and uprooting that have targeted indigenous peoples in North America, within the context of an expansionist settlement project based on the eradication of indigenous peoples and the control of land by force."
It added "we affirm to President Trump and everyone near and far that our people have no homeland but Palestine, and no place outside it, and Gaza will never be a station for deportation or liquidation."
The Front emphasized that all displacement plans are doomed to abject failure, and that the Palestinian people, who have offered thousands of martyrs and proven their steadfastness in the face of the most brutal colonial machine, will not go anywhere but to their occupied cities and villages in historic Palestine after liberation and the eradication of the enemy.
It also stated that the call to administer Gaza without Palestinian sovereignty and administration is a pathetic attempt to consolidate a project aimed at separating the Strip from the rest of the homeland and liquidating the Palestinian cause entirely. This is something we categorically reject and will resist with all our strength.
It called on the masses of the Palestinian people, the Arab nation, and the free people of the world to confront these plans by all possible means, and to emphasize that Gaza is an integral part of Palestine, and that no one has the right to decide its fate except its people.
It also emphasized that the arrogant "cowboy" mentality, which views people as nothing more than subjects who can be deported or whose destinies can be controlled, will not succeed in subjugating the Palestinian people or uprooting them from their land.
