PA: The Israeli "policy of ethnically cleansing Palestinian people is deeply connected to the philosophy of American cowboys who annihilated 100 million American Indians"

Excerpt of a column by Omar Hilmi Al-Ghoul, regular columnist for official PA daily and former advisor to former PA Prime Minister Salam Fayyad on national affairs

“The philosophy of murdering and spilling the blood of the Palestinians constitutes one of the central supporting pillars in the Zionist colonialist project of exile and occupation. This philosophy is based on the founding slogan of the Zionist movement that says ‘A land without a people for a people without a land.’ This is the slogan that enabled the Zionist gangs and afterwards the colonialist Israeli state to translate this into all fields of life, foremost among them the ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian land from its Palestinian people in order to realize this.

If we carefully examine this slogan we see that it is deeply connected to the philosophy of the American cowboys who annihilated 100 million [American] Indians, the original owners of the land, in order to establish their state on the American continent, as indeed happened. However, what was committed against the Indians was not possible for the Zionist gangs in Palestine due to the different conditions of reality and the Palestinian people’s awareness of the colonialist plot…

The Israeli state with all its components from A to Z is a racist and fascist state that refuses to recognize the existence of the Palestinian 'goyim’ (i.e., non-Jews), the owners of the land and the history, because their existence threatens all the supporting pillars of the Zionist Western colonialist project from its roots.”
