Palestinian writer, Hassan Abuqamar, has penned an open letter to former President Donald Trump, expressing confusion and disappointment over his statements on Gaza. Abuqamar, a survivor of genocide and a native of Gaza, refutes Trump’s claims of being a peace-maker while encouraging Israel to continue its actions in Gaza. He highlights the deep-rooted history and rights of the Palestinian people, emphasizing that Gaza is not for sale or to be treated as a business venture.
Abuqamar challenges Trump’s characterization of Gaza as a “demolition site” and refutes the notion that Palestinians want to leave because they “know nothing else”. He shares examples of Palestinians, like Dr. Refaat Alareer, who chose to return to Gaza despite opportunities to stay abroad, to rebuild and support their community.
The writer rejects Trump’s vision of turning Gaza into a luxury resort, reminding him that Gaza was once a flourishing trade hub and cultural center until Israel’s actions led to its destruction. Abuqamar asserts that Palestinians will not be uprooted or displaced, and history has shown that settler-colonialism is unsustainable.
In conclusion, Abuqamar emphasizes that the people of Gaza will continue to resist and preserve their connection to the land with love, care, and remembrance. The letter serves as a powerful reminder of the Palestinian people’s resilience and determination to reclaim their homeland.
