Why it matters:
Such statements from scholars and officials worldwide reflect growing global concern over the US-Israeli orchestrated ethnic cleansing in Gaza and the West Bank. They also highlight awareness of the underlying conspiracy and promote international solidarity for the Palestinian people's right to self-determination.
The bigger picture:
US President Donald Trump said the United States “will take over” the Gaza Strip and Palestinians who live there should leave, a scenario which will lead to the displacement of millions to the region and dramatically reorient the Middle East.
What he's saying:
- Trump is only reiterating the white supremacist or Jewish supremacist mind. This is the same mentality of colonialists and imperialists.
- For fifteen months it bombed Gaza every day killing thousands of people, injuring hundreds of thousands, and displacing millions but Palestinians did not give up and surrender.
- I don't think Trump is serious about this, but he is attempting to call on the Arabs to help him undermine the resistance in Gaza, or at least disarm it, which is unlikely to occur
- The Palestinians are very determined to remain on their land. They have been committed to reclaiming their land and freedom, for more than eighty years.
