Press Release
On the 50th Anniversary of Land Day: Our people are rooted in their land, and will remain steadfast and defend it by all means, until all their rights are wrested back, and their aspirations for liberation and return are achieved.
The 50th anniversary of the immortal Land Day comes this year, after more than two years of a war of extermination, starvation, ethnic cleansing, and attempts at forced displacement, to which our people in the Gaza Strip have been subjected. Its dangerous repercussions still encompass all facets of human life there, and in light of the fascist "israeli" occupation government's escalation of settlement crimes, annexation, Judaization, and displacement in the West Bank and occupied Al-Quds, and the continued closure of the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque, and its grave violations against prisoners, in an aggression and criminality that reveals the nature of this zionist enemy, which violates all international norms, charters, and divine laws, and has become a real danger to the security and stability of the region and the world.
Our people recall this immortal anniversary, on the 30th of March of every year, to remember the spark ignited in 1976 by the masses of our people in the Triangle, the Galilee, and the Naqab in our lands occupied in 1948, in response to the policy of settlement encroachment, and in resistance to the occupation's policy of displacement and deportation, for this anniversary to become a collective national title for strengthening unity, struggle, and resistance, and a landmark from which generations draw the spirit of sacrifice, challenge, and insistence on holding onto the land and confronting aggression, until the occupation is defeated and removed from our land.
On the fiftieth anniversary of Land Day, we pray for the souls of our righteous martyrs, ask Allah Almighty for healing for our blessed wounded, send a greeting of loyalty to our free prisoners, and salute our great, patient, and steadfast people in the Gaza Strip, in the West Bank, Al-Quds, the occupied interior, and in refugee camps and the diaspora. We send a message of pride and honor to all those stationed on the frontiers of the homeland and those steadfast on their land, and we promise them to continue the path of adhering to the constants and defending our land and our sanctities until their liberation and the achievement of the return to them.
We emphasize the following:
- The crimes of the zionist enemy against our people, our land, and our Islamic and Christian sanctities will not fall by lapse of time, and will not prove any right or legitimacy for it, and at the same time will not break the will of our people or dissuade them from continuing the path of struggle, steadfastness, and adherence to rights and constants.
- Empowering our people to hold onto their land, live in it with freedom and independence, and defend it by all means, is not a favor from anyone, but is a legitimate right guaranteed by international charters to get rid of the most dangerous, criminal, settler-colonial occupation continuing in the world.
- The occupation's plans, crimes of land theft, settlement encroachment, and the displacement of our people will not succeed in changing the facts of history and reality, and obliterating the features of the Palestinian land.
- We reiterate that we will not relinquish or concede a single inch of the land of Palestine, and our people will remain steadfast and defending it by all means, until all their rights are wrested back, and their aspirations for liberation and return are achieved.
- The city of Al-Quds and the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque were and will remain the jewel in the crown of our blessed historical land, and the occupation will have no sovereignty or legitimacy over any part of it, and we will protect and defend them, no matter the sacrifices.
- The return of refugees to their land from which they were forcibly displaced by the zionist occupation is an individual and collective right and duty, which no one has the right to concede or relinquish, and we reiterate our categorical rejection of all resettlement and alternative homeland projects.
- We reiterate our call to our Arab and Islamic nation to unite and stand together to confront and thwart all the colonial plans and goals of the zionist entity that go beyond the borders of Palestine, and threaten the security, stability, and unity of our nation.
- We call on the free people of the world to strengthen all forms of solidarity and support for the just cause of our people and their legitimate struggle, to isolate the racist, fascist zionist entity, to criminalize its terrorism, and to prosecute its leaders, leading to ending the occupation, and enabling our people to have freedom, independence, self-determination, and the establishment of an independent Palestinian state with Al-Quds as its capital.
Mercy to the martyrs, speedy healing to the wounded, and near freedom for the prisoners and detainees, and it is a Jihad of victory or martyrdom.
