The United States and the European Union dominated and
controlled by the Zionist Movement and its entity, are resorting to the
new form of weapons of mass destruction against the Palestinians in the
same way that they used in the deadly blockade on Iraq.
The Palestinians are blockaded, their county is being taken
piece by piece and they are living in reservation camps surrounded by
concrete walls and Zionist armed fortifications, settlements. Their
homes are being blown up; their fields and olive trees are being
destroyed or confiscated.
In April 2006, the United States cut off all
non-humanitarian assistance after Hamas unexpected victory. In all, $411
millions in aids were canceled or suspended out of concern that the
money could help the new Hamas-led Palestinian government.
The United States, the European Union and other donors have
said they won't deal with the Hamas-led government unless it recognizes
“Israel”, renounces violence and adheres to agreements with “Israel”
brokered by the previous Palestinian “government”. The United States and
the European Union are ignoring the real victims, in this case the
Palestinians and simply they are distorting the facts and history. The
have ignored that the Palestinians never committed violence against any
peaceful nation nor have they invaded any country, expelled its
population and claimed that the conquered land is theirs. They are
fighting to restore their right to their homeland, to return to their
homes, to their towns to live in prosperity and peace. This fight is
legitimate according to international laws and they will not be
deterred.
Hamas was elected in a democratic way by the people who
live in what remained of the Palestinian territory. The election was not
staged like the one in occupied Iraq and the ones who were elected were
not brought on top of the tanks of the American invaders and their
allies. Hamas members are part of the Palestinian people, they are not
imported nor do they represent any foreign power or interests.
The World should know that the tragedy of Palestine started
by Sykes-Picot agreement in 1916 and was crowned by creating the Zionist
entity in Palestine in 1948. The Zionist armed military organizations
implemented vicious terror and resorted to bloody violence against the
Palestinians to evict them from their cities, towns and villages to de-Arabize
Palestine and make it entirely Jewish.
William Zuckerman, the editor of the ‘Jewish Newsletter” on
October 3, 1960 provided us with a revealing remark. He said “The flight
of the Palestine Arabs, which created the Arab refugee problem, was not
a spontaneous act, not due entirely to the propaganda call of the Arab
leaders as the Zionist have claimed all along. It was coldly calculated
plan executed by the Irgun but with the knowledge of the Haganah and the
Jewish Agency of the time”.
The massacres in Palestine did not stop in Deir Yassin
where 250 people were massacred by Menachem Begin and his gangs. The
mass killing did not stop in 1948; it is still going on until this
present day. This time the slaughter of the Palestinian people is more
vicious. It is combined with deadly blockade, land grabbing, field
destruction and starvation. The Palestinians are caged in large prisons
that are in worse conditions than the concentration camps in Europe. The
Palestinians are being threatened not only by the Zionist entity but by
President Bush and the European Union.
Unfortunately, most of the American people and most of the
entire population of Europe do not know that Palestine is Arab; they do
not know that the “Israelis” are new settler colonialists living in land
and homes that do not belong to them. They do not know that the
Palestinians were evicted from their homes and about 6,000,000 of them
are refugees in camps and in every corner on Earth, and my family is one
of them.
Most of the people do not know that the Jewish land
holdings in Palestine was only 2 percent in 1918 and at the time
“Israel” was created on May 15, 1948 the settlers owned less than 6
percent through forced purchase and terror.
More than 6,000,000 Palestinians are refugees awaiting the
fulfillment of the United Nations Resolutions to return to their homes
and towns, to historic Palestine that stretches from the Mediterranean
Sea to the Jordan River, to establish their state, to live in peace,
dignity and prosperity.
The US government, under George W. Bush, wants to donate
$10,000,000 dollars to a non governmental organization as an aid to the
besieged Palestinians. To Bush we say the Palestinian Arabs are not
beggars nor are they waiting for the crumbs that fall from the tables of
the Imperialists to fill their stomachs. They are very proud, very
industrious and very creative people. They had a country in which they
were living, in peace and prosperity, until the Western powers ripped
the Arab Homeland apart in 1916 and Palestine was usurped and given to
the Zionists in 1948.
The Palestinians have the right to elect any government
they wish to lead them and they will reject any imposed solution or
imported government. They have the right to defend themselves by all
means to liberate their land.
Palestine is Arab, it
stretches from the Mediterranean Sea to the Jordan River, to it we will
return, even if it takes a thousand years. It is our land, it belongs to
our people, “some are dead, some are living but most are not yet born”. |
