US President Donald Trump's\u00a0so-called deal of the century on the decades-old Israeli-Palestinian conflict is simply \u201ca colonial plan\u201d to force Palestinians out of their homeland, says an analyst, adding that it is a deal for \u201capartheid and occupation\u201d rather than a peace plan.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n\n

Charlotte Kates, activist and commentator, made the remarks during a Friday edition of Press TV\u2019s The Debate program while commenting on Trump\u2019s proposed plan for the resolution of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.<\/p>\n\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n\n

\u201cWe are not talking about a peace plan or proposal for peace or anything like that. What we are talking about is a plan for apartheid and further colonization and destruction of Palestine. So we have two parties that are only interested in pursuing permanent war, occupation, colonization, violence and destruction \u2013namely the US and Israel \u2013 who are essentially making an agreement with one another to continue to perpetrate apartheid, violence and colonialism against the Palestinian people,\u201d she said. \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n\n

\u201cThis was never meant to be any kind of a peace deal or an agreement. It was only meant to be a joint plan for colonization, destruction and imperialist and Zionist hegemony over the peoples of the region. This is simply a colonialist plan between two occupying imperial forces in the region to strip the indigenous people of the region of their sovereignty, their rights, their freedom and, frankly, their ability to even obtain any form of economic justice,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n\n

On January 28, Trump\u00a0unveiled\u00a0his so-called deal of the century, negotiated with Israel but without the Palestinians.<\/p>\n\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n\n

Palestinian leaders, who severed all ties with Washington in late 2017 after Trump controversially recognized Jerusalem al-Quds as the capital of the Israeli regime, immediately\u00a0rejected the plan, with\u00a0President Mahmoud Abbas saying it \u201cbelongs to the dustbin of history.\u201d<\/p>\n\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n\"Palestinian<\/a><\/div>\n\n

The Palestinian Authority blames the recent escalation of violence against Palestinians in the West Bank on Trump\u2019s so-called deal of the century.<\/a><\/p>\n\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

Trump\u2019s Middle East scheme largely meets Israel\u2019s demands in the decades-old conflict while creating a Palestinian state with limited control over its own security and borders.<\/p>\n\n

It also enshrines Jerusalem al-Quds as \u201cIsrael\u2019s undivided capital\u201d and allows the regime to annex settlements in the occupied West Bank and the Jordan Valley.<\/p>\n\n

The proposal further denies the right of return of Palestinian refugees into their homeland, among other controversial terms.<\/p>\n\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n\n

Palestinian leaders, who severed all ties with Washington in late 2017 after Trump, in a controversial move, recognized Jerusalem al-Quds as the capital of the Israeli regime, immediately\u00a0rejected the plan, with\u00a0President Mahmoud Abbas saying it \u201cbelongs to the dustbin of history.\u201d<\/p>\n\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n\n

Thousands of Palestinians in the occupied West Bank and besieged Gaza Strip took to the streets in immediate condemnation of the plan.<\/p>\n\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n\n

Muslims all across the world have also expressed solidarity with the Palestinian cause and denounced Trump's proposed plan.<\/p>\n\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n\n

Leader of the Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, has also said Trump\u2019s pro-occupation plan for ending the Palestinian-Israeli conflict is doomed to die even before the US president\u2019s own death, adding that Washington\u2019s push \u201cwill definitely end in failure.\u201d<\/p>\n\n

Ayatollah Khamenei says Donald Trump\u2019s Middle East scheme will suffer demise even before the US president himself.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

Kates further noted Trump\u2019s scheme fundamentally violates international law and human rights, adding that it throws aside the fundamental principles of sovereignty, self-determination and the right to live free of colonization and apartheid.<\/p>\n\n

She concluded by saying that in order to establish peace and justice in Palestine, occupation and colonization should be eradicated and the right of \u00a0return of the Palestinian people should be implemented.<\/p>\n\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n\n

\u201cThe fact is, if we want to talk about peace and if we want to talk about justice, what we need to talk about is holding those accountable who have been destroying the promise of peace for over 70 years.\u201d<\/p>\n\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n\n

\u201cSo that means bring Israeli leaders to trial before the International Criminal Court, making a plan for the implementation of Palestinian refugees right to return, ending occupation and building a society in which Zionism is dismantled \u2026 and replaced by a democratic secular society in which people can live together based on principles of human rights, anti-colonialism, anti-racism and self-determination in a liberated Palestine for all,\u201d she stated. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n

Meanwhile, Fredrick Peterson, the other panelist on the program opined that this plan is an offer, adding that both parties must give a little to get a little in order to achieve peace, prosperity and freedom.<\/p>\n\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n\n

\u201cThe plan can be either accepted or rejected and it must be accepted by both parties and worked on by both parties but both parties must have a common objective and that common objective must be peace, prosperity and freedom and both must give a little to get a little in order to achieve this,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<\/div>","content_source":"","content_url":"","content_columns":"0","content_date_start":"2020-02-07 12:26:11","content_date_finish":"2020-02-07 12:26:11","content_date_register":"2020-02-07 12:27:42","content_date_last_edit":"2020-02-07 12:27:42","content_show_img":"1","content_show_details":"0","content_show_related_img":"0","content_show_slider":"1","content_show_title_slider":"1","content_comment":"1","content_score":"0","content_recorded":"0","content_confirmed":"0","content_status":"1","content_kind":"0","tag_id":null,"tag_word":null,"tag_service":null,"tag_total":null,"tag_soundex":null,"attach_token":"3841610640","attach_date_register":"2020-02-07 12:27:39","attach_id":"7194","attach_file_ext":"jpg","attach_file_header":"image\/jpeg","attach_img_type":"2","attach_img_width":"1000","attach_img_height":"1000","attach_file_media":"1","attach_show_watermark":"0","score_average":null,"score_count":null,"score_date_last":null,"visit_count":"472","visit_date_last":"2024-11-25 10:22:26","attach_title":"Trump Mideast scheme colonial plan rather than peace plan 2","node_title":"Favorite,News,Ordinary","ot_node_left_right":"[{\"node_id\":98, \"left\":2, \"right\":11},{\"node_id\":126, \"left\":64, \"right\":65},{\"node_id\":127, \"left\":66, \"right\":67}]","node_number":"3","allowable_node":"3"}]]
