The return of the Palestinian people to northern Gaza is a defeat for Zionism

     The return, after more than 15 months, of the Palestinian people to the north of the Gaza Strip, is the defeat of the Nazi-Zionist state of Israel and its army, since the Netanyahu government and the fascists said they would colonise this area and destroy the Palestinian resistance; this shows that this was not the case. While Trump announced that the Palestinians should withdraw to Egypt and Jordan, more than 300,000 Palestinians, on foot, in cars, with carts and donkeys, are returning to a destroyed area, ready to rebuild it as a form of historic resistance.

Some of the testimonies on the return to the north of the Strip:
‘Gaza is our home, and it will remain ours’

‘I feel like this is better than a holiday, it is the best day of our lives because we are returning to our homes. Today I am returning home and from here we will not be displaced, from here we will not leave’ – Faraj Al Jamal

‘The doctor told me that I should not walk or climb stairs, but I have been walking for two hours and I do not feel tired, feeling as if someone is carrying me with every step, closer and closer to my home’ – Nihad

“I don’t recognise anything! All the way I only recognised one place by a coloured building, apart from that I don’t know where I am. But we will go back to rebuild Gaza” – Woman in the large caravan of returnees.

“My feeling is mixed between sadness and joy, it is not complete happiness because our houses are destroyed and we have lost our people. We are going to find our houses empty of our loved ones…But we adapt to everything. The Palestinian people are like grass: the more you cut it the more it grows. They will never defeat us, we will always win‘ – Hatem Faiq

’Gaza is our home, it has been our home all our lives, where we were born. And it will remain ours” – Fares Oweida
