75 years since the Nakba, the third episode

A legal and national political argument presented by President Mahmoud Abbas before the meeting of the United Nations General Assembly on May 15, on the anniversary of the catastrophe of the Palestinian people. And it will remain as long as two parts of the people of Palestine are deprived of their rights:
1- The right of return in accordance with UN Resolution 194.
2- The right to independence in accordance with Resolution 181.


The Palestinian struggle is no longer just numbers, recording positions, or daydreaming based on illusions, but rather a struggle paid for by sacrifices, perseverance, steadfastness, resistance to occupation, and confrontation of discrimination and all manifestations of racism, fascism, and alienation, whether in areas 48 or areas 67.


Acknowledgment by the General Assembly of the United Nations of the calamity of the Palestinian people, reminding of it, stopping at it, and commemorating the pain and pain it left behind, and denying the right to a normal life for the people of Palestine on the land of their homeland, just like other peoples. Rather, it is an essential step on the difficult path, the path and steps for restoring the rights of the Palestinian Arab people:
1- The return of refugees to the cities and villages from which they were expelled, and the recovery of their property from, in and on it.
2- Establishing his independent, free state with dignity and dignity, with his head held high.


The world was late in understanding the suffering of the Palestinian people, in solidarity with them, and in voting for them. It was late in understanding the project of the Israeli colony and exposing it as it really is, but as it is colloquially said that it is better to know than not to know, and to arrive late is better than not to arrive, and this is what It applies to the international community, which has begun to gradually understand, take sides, and sympathize with the people of Palestine, no matter how slowly, and gradually backs away from supporting the Israeli colony project.


Two important events took place in the 75th year of the Nakba, what the General Assembly of the United Nations did to stop at the anniversary of the Nakba, and what Representative Rashida Tlaib did in the United States with the progressive wing of the American Democratic Party to stop and express solidarity with the Palestinian people on the anniversary of their Nakba, two events no matter how modest the results seemed to some, But they are living facts, cumulative steps on the difficult, long, gradual path towards Palestine.


The people of Palestine will return to their free and independent homeland, no matter how far time passes, and no matter how many crimes and misdeeds the occupation commits, it is on its way to defeat and demise.
