Afrasianet - Trump In light of the renewed proposals about the displacement of Palestinians from the Gaza Strip, which have become more evident in the policies of US President Donald Trump and the unequivocal support provided by his administration to the Zionist project, it becomes necessary to turn the equation around and propose a real and just solution: instead of displacing Palestinians from Gaza, they should be returned to their original homes from which they were forcibly displaced in 1948 within the framework of systematic ethnic cleansing practiced by the Zionist movement and is still ongoing. In it until today.
More than 1.6 million Palestinian refugees were born in the Gaza Strip, but their roots extend across Palestine, especially in the Israeli-occupied south. These refugees have not lost their historical connection to their original towns and villages, which were vibrant before being transformed by massacres and displacement into Israeli settlements built on their ruins.
Return to Jaffa, al-Majdal (Ashkelon), Beersheba, Ramle, Lod, Beit Darras, Hamama, Brier, Masmiyeh, Fallujah, Herbia, Iraq Sweidan, Beit Tima, Beit Affa and other towns and villages is not only a historical right, but the only just solution to the refugee issue. Any attempt to re-engineer the demographic reality in Gaza by displacing its population can only be read within the policy of ethnic cleansing that began in 1948 and has not stopped until today, whether through massacres, siege or ongoing war.
The tribes of Tarabin, Al-Sawarka, Al-Azazma, Al-Jabbarat, Al-Hanajra, Al-Rumailat, Al-Ahiwat, and Al-Saafin, as well as the urban and rural families who were displaced from cities and villages, such as Dajani, Al-Nabulsi, Al-Siksak, Al-Agha, Al-Farra, Al-Hallaq, Al-Qudra, Abu Daqqa, Tibi, Shaheen, Barghouti, Abu Muammar, Abu Aita, Zoroub, Al-Buraim, Shaath, Abu Shanab, and Abu Rezeq, still carry their heritage and claim their historical right.
Talk of uprooting Palestinians from Gaza cannot be part of any just political solution, but rather a continuation of the ethnic cleansing approach practiced by Israel since its inception. Therefore, the Palestinian and Arab response must be clear: if the world wants to transfer the Palestinians from Gaza, let it be by returning them to their original homes, not to new exiles, and let it be within the framework of correcting the historical injustice inflicted on them, and not by completing the ethnic cleansing project in new forms, and it is time for the world to understand that Palestine is not a land without a people and the Gaza Strip is not a real estate opportunity for investment.
