‘…No Force…Can Remove Palestinians From Their Homes’ Husam Zomlot

Palestine’s envoy to the UK on Wednesday termed US President Donald Trump’s plan to “take over” Gaza “very dangerous,” and warned that it will go far beyond Palestine.

Palestinian people are tested with genocide, mass-kill, mass-murder, mass-destroy yet the people remain as hundreds of thousands are now marching back to their homes, said Husam Zomlot.

“So, no force on earth can remove Palestinians from their homes,” he told Sky News.

His remarks came after Trump’s controversial remarks that the US “will take over” Gaza after relocating Palestinians to other countries.

The Palestinian ambassador highlighted that the future is about a two-state solution, the international consensus, ending the occupation and establishing the state of Palestine.

“If people from Gaza will go anywhere later, it will be back to their original homes inside the 1948 areas,” said Zomlot, adding Palestinians have one homeland, Palestine.

Gaza is just the “last episode” of what Trump wants to take over, the ambassador said, referring to Trump’s previous statements on Canada, Panama, and Greenland.


“We are watching global order being burnt, I think our global order is being collapsed,” he added.


The Palestinian ambassador noted that with his Gaza remarks, Trump normalized the ethnic cleansing and the idea of mass expulsion of people from their homes, which, he stressed is “very dangerous and it will go far beyond Palestine.”

“This is not just about Gaza, can you imagine a world where you can just go and claim ownership of a territory … where does it stop?” he questioned.

Zomlot said that the UK needs to “correct the gravest injustice inflicted” on Palestinians according to Anadolu.

“We need recognition of the state of Palestine immediately, Mr. Starmer, do not wait one more day,” he added.

During a news conference with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Washington on Tuesday, Trump said that the US “will take over” Gaza after relocating Palestinians elsewhere under a redevelopment plan that he claimed could turn the enclave into “the Riviera of the Middle East.”

Ken Livingstone: An Anti-Zionist Hero

This is a tribute to Ken Livingstone from Ousman Noor:

A tribute to one of the first major targets of the worldwide Zionist smear machine.  Ken Livingstone, a towering leader of authentic socialist principles, London’s first Mayor, a committed anti-racist, described as “the only truly successful left-wing British politician of modern times”.  In 2016, Ken was suspended from the UK Labour Party for telling us the truth about Isreal’s illegal occupation of Palestinian land, noting that Zionists had directly collaborated with the Nazis to break the international boycott led by Jewish communities, to finance Zionist settlement in Palestine (Haavara Agreement).

As a consequence, Ken was viciously targeted by the entire media establishment (including by the Guardian) and branded an anti-Semite, isolated and stigmatised across the political class. Under immense pressure and calls for his expulsion, Ken was defiant, stating “I’m not going to apologise for telling the truth”. After an entire lifetime of standing up for the oppressed, championing working class solidarity, mobilising against war, Zionists were able to brand Ken as racist and destroy his career and reputation. 

Ken now has Alzeimers and is in a very poor condition.  This past year we have all been witness to Isreal’s genocide in Gaza, apartheid against the Palestinian people, disregard for international law and use of malicious tactics to smear those calling them out as “anti-Semites”.  We stand on the shoulders of people like Ken Livingstone and many others who always stood up for Palestinians with a commitment to the truth, no matter the cost to their career.  Thank you Ken  May you be at peace in this life and for all eternity.
