Statement by Al-Awda, The Palestine Right of Return Movement on the “Deal of the Century.” (THREAD) 🇵🇸

In the aftermath of the release of U.S. president Donald Trump's "Deal of the Century," we at Al-Awda deem it necessary to issue a statement regarding the ill-fated proposal. Although the proposal (#DealOfTheCentury) isn't worthy of acknowledgement, and is by no means a roadmap to restoring justice or instilling peace, we still feel a measured response is required by Al-Awda, The Palestine Right of Return Movement. 🇵🇸

I just got off the phone with my close friend Rabbi Weiss and offered my condolences to the Jewish community in Monsey, New York on behalf of the Pro-Palestine Movement for yesterday’s stabbing in their community. He reconfirmed to me that those affected in the stabbings were 100 percent Anti-Zionist and Pro-Palestinian. He also mentioned that we must be-careful from Zionist propaganda in the mainstream news who always exploit their community to their benefit.

I look at these photographs and imagine my ancestors roaming these streets, my grandparents raising my father as a child running around free like a bird before the massacre on April 9, 1948 (71 years ago today) that completely traumatized their lives forever. #DeirYassin My grandfather Muhammad and grandmother Khadija died never to return back home so that Criminal Zionist Europeans can take over because they believed it was their divine right to massacre and forcefully depopulate my family. #DeirYassin #Palestine
