Statement Issued by the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine on the Anniversary of Land Day

Popular Front: Land Day is a day to emphasize our adherence to our land Palestine from its river to its sea

The masses of our heroic Palestinian people, the masses of our Arab nation, and all the free people of the world, 

On this day, March 30, 1976, our people in the Galilee, the Triangle, the Negev and other villages and cities of the occupied Palestinian interior rose up in defense of their land, dignity and identity, reminding with their pure blood and great sacrifices this usurping Zionist entity and its creators that this land is purely Palestinian, and that the Palestinian people have never and will never give up their land and identity.

As we recall this immortal occasion, we evoke images of heroism, sacrifice and redemption in all that embodies the Palestinian’s firm and deep affiliation and connection to the land of his fathers and grandfathers, shattering through this immortal sacrificial epic the Zionist settler slogan (a land without people for a people without land), to confirm that he is Palestinian to the core, and that he is unable to be broken or uprooted, no matter how criminal and repressive Zionist crimes and practices, Judaization and colonization are.

The masses of our valiant people, 

The anniversary of the immortal Land Day comes as the racist Zionist enemy is waging a war of annihilation in the Gaza Strip in every sense of the word, disregarding international laws and all humanitarian norms, under the auspices and partnership of the US administration and the complicity of the international community and in the shadow of a suspicious Arab silence, while practicing all forms of terrorism and murder against our people in the West Bank and Jerusalem, and against our brave prisoners in occupation prisons. Despite this, our Palestinian people are holding out and defending their land and survival with unprecedented steadfastness and steadfastness, a solid resistance and a will deeply embedded in the land of Palestine that cannot be conquered or defeated, nor can it be dissuaded from continuing its struggle against this criminal Zionist entity until we achieve our legitimate goals.

We in the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, in the shadow of this immortal anniversary, and in front of this fateful moment in the history of our people, and the heroic epic that our people are waging against the Zionist death machine supported by the United States and the West, and in front of the exposure of the truth of this artificial Zionist entity before the whole world, in which the Palestinian cause has become a compass and inspiration for all free people in the world, we emphasize on this occasion the following:

First: We salute the anniversary of Land Day, which constituted a cumulative qualitative event in the context of the ongoing and comprehensive battle that our people are waging against the racist Zionist colonialist, colonialist, settler colonialist project. We call on them to unite and confront Zionist racist policies and laws, and the need to abandon any illusions that see political, electoral and parliamentary participation in enemy institutions, and reject all justifications that have been blown up by the aggressive nature of the entity and its racist view of the Arab masses as minorities and as a demographic and strategic threat to the future of the entity.

Second:: We affirm our people’s adherence to our land, from its river to its sea, and our legitimate and inalienable rights to return the refugees to their land and homes from which they were forcibly displaced. Preserving the identity and defending the Palestinian existence requires comprehensive resistance and wide popular field engagement outside the institutions of the enemy, on the principle that rights are won and not be begged, and that what was taken by force can only be recovered by force, not by begging, settlement and negotiations that led to a real catastrophe for our people.

Third:: The important field achievements and strategic defeat of the Zionist entity and its military and security system, and the ongoing unprecedented Zionist genocidal war on the Gaza Strip have revealed the true face of this criminal Zionist entity and its sponsors from the American administration and the West, which for the first time in its history stands in the dock as a criminal and pariah terrorist entity before the International Court of Justice. These facts carry with them important historical shifts, through which the Palestinian cause returns to the forefront of events in the world and tops the international agenda, and puts the Zionist entity before a real existential crisis that it cannot wake up

Fourth: :Despite all forms of killing, destruction, massacres, starvation and siege, the Zionist enemy has failed to achieve any of its declared goals of the aggression on the Gaza Strip, and the resistance continues to steadily drain the Zionist enemy and fight a long battle of attrition against it. The great losses incurred by the Zionist enemy, and the ability of the resistance to strike even in areas that have been invaded and destroyed, indicate that the Zionist enemy is drowning in the quagmire of the Gaza Strip, and that it is far away and unable to achieve any of its goals.

Fifth: We emphasize that all the plans of the occupation and the US administration for the so-called next day of war on the Gaza Strip, trusteeship, bringing international peace forces, imposing an administration on the Strip, or interfering in Palestinian affairs under humanitarian or relief pretexts are suspicious attempts that are inevitably doomed to failure, as it is the Palestinian people who will determine the future of the Gaza Strip and its political system, and will resist and confront these plans.

Sixth: On the anniversary of Land Day, we renew the call to reconsider the Arab and international dimensions and to mobilize all the energies of friendly international peoples, parties and movements to innovate and escalate forms of struggle to support the Palestinian people, and to continue besieging Zionist and Western embassies and the headquarters of international institutions in victory for the cause of Palestine. We see the massive and angry demonstrations in the squares of some Arab countries, especially those that have relations with the Zionist entity, as a glimmer of hope that the Arab peoples will regain the initiative, rise up for Palestine, reject normalization, and sweep the Zionist entity from our Arab lands.

In conclusion, on the anniversary of Land Day, we renew our pledge to continue the intifada, resistance, escalation of confrontation and open clashes with the Zionist enemy throughout our Palestinian land, until we realize our rights of return, self-determination and the establishment of the Palestinian state from its river to its sea, with Jerusalem as its capital.

Glory to the martyrs of the land on their immortal day
Glory to the resistance forces throughout our land
Freedom for the prisoners and a speedy recovery for the wounded
We are definitely victorious
