While the Palestinian people in Gaza are suffering from genocide, blockade, starvation, and forced displacement, US President Donald Trump is trying to add another chapter to their suffering – an imperialist project aimed at their mass expulsion from their homeland. This plan is not only a flagrant violation of international law but also a continuation of crimes committed against the Palestinian people for more than seventy years.
Forced Displacement: A New Nakba and the Legalization of Ethnic Cleansing
Since 1948, when more than seven million Palestinians were forcibly expelled from their cities and villages, they have been denied their right to return, living in refugee camps and exile. Today, amid Israel’s ongoing aggression against Gaza, colonial powers, led by the United States, seek to implement a new plan to uproot Palestinians from their land—an attempt to erase the Palestinian cause once and for all.
This project emerges after Israel’s failure to break the will of the Palestinian people despite committing massacres, enforcing starvation, and imposing a suffocating blockade. They have tried to erase the Palestinian identity, yet the people have resisted and refused to surrender. Now, their solution is even more sinister: to empty the land of its indigenous people and replace them with settlers.
Shield International: Forced Displacement Is a Crime Against Humanity
Shield International strongly condemns any attempts to forcibly displace Palestinians from Gaza or any other part of their homeland. Such actions constitute a flagrant violation of international laws and treaties that prohibit forced displacement and recognize the right of people to remain in their homeland.
Forcing Palestinians to leave their land does not only mean another Nakba; it is a clear attempt to legitimize the Israeli occupation and eliminate one of its greatest challenges—the existence of the Palestinian people and their steadfastness. This policy of forced displacement is nothing but a continuation of war crimes, executed through systematic ethnic cleansing rather than direct military aggression.
A Call to the Free World: We Must Resist This Crime
In light of this looming danger, Shield International calls upon all free people, human rights organizations, journalists, and everyone who believes in justice to take part in its campaign against the forced displacement policies being pushed by Trump and his allies.
The ethnic cleansing planned for Gaza is not just a crime against Palestinians but a crime against humanity as a whole. Remaining silent in the face of such atrocities means complicity in oppression, the tacit approval of human rights violations, and acceptance of a world where international laws are discarded for the benefit of colonial powers that recognize only brute force.
A Message to the World: We Will Not Leave, and We Will Not Allow Another Displacement
The Palestinian people, who have endured decades of massacres and oppression, will not accept becoming refugees once again. Gaza, which has become a global symbol of resilience, will not be the stage for another crime of mass expulsion.
The free nations of the world, justice-seeking individuals, and human rights organizations must unite to stop this sinister plan. A clear message must be sent to those who seek to erase Palestinian existence: We will not leave. We will not be displaced. Palestine is not for sale. Gaza will never surrender.
