Trump will go and Gaza will remain

America is suffering from a moral crisis that no other great empire has ever suffered before. This crisis is not new, but rather it is expanding with the arrival of Trump, the man of casinos and deals, taking on premeditated indifference. It is thus the first empire in history that was founded on the ethnic cleansing of the Red Indians, and it continues in the same manner against other peoples, instead of atonement for its sin. This did not happen in the era of all the empires that preceded the rise of America and its dominance and preceded the time of the white man.


Certainly, the Gaza war was not the beginning of this discovery, but it revealed an undeniable fact, that America has fallen morally in all international forums, and not the first of them is its positions in the Security Council, its positions on the International Court of Justice and the International Criminal Court in The Hague, its decisions to stop funding UNRWA, the idea of displacement and ethnic cleansing to neighboring countries, cutting off aid as a tool of pressure and blackmail, and waving military force at the expense of the system of human values, international laws, and at the expense of heavenly and earthly laws. This fall appears openly without ambiguity, and it declares this in all forums, preventing decisions and obstructing others with its “veto” and economic and military means of pressure.


The state of the world, which submits to a fallen empire plagued by auras of injustice, symptoms of blackmail and perversion, raises suspicion and fear about the future of life on this planet.


America wants to own the Gaza Strip and displace its residents who are suffering the horrors of the war of extermination and ethnic cleansing, and are living without shelter in the open and displaced and on the rubble of their homes that were destroyed by the war machine. This is America that has deployed its military and war arsenal since the first day to crush Gaza, and it is the one that supported its siege and provided political protection and offered billions of dollars to the occupation and came with its naval and air fleet. This would not have happened without this support and backing. It is true that what happened and is happening is at the hands of the occupation and its soldiers, but it would not have happened without the implicit American support and approval. What Trump announced is ridiculous, because the Palestinian has no homeland other than Palestine, and his right to it will not be revoked, and the power of injustice will not be able to dissolve or melt him, because he is not subject to that because he possesses the civilization, culture, knowledge, awareness, science and values that formed his national identity and his right to exist on his land, so he escaped all the operations of erasure and extermination, just as he will escape the operations of ethnic cleansing despite the injustice he is experiencing. Gaza, Mr. Trump, is not for sale for you to announce your intentions to own it. It will remain and you will leave, because the fateful issues of peoples are not a deal or a contract, but a right that will prevail, whether it takes a long time or a short time.
