An Open Letter To Donald Trump By Chief Femi Fani-Kayode

Mr. President, over the last 15 months your country America has subjected the people of Gaza to mass murder, genocide and ethnic cleansing. You armed, assisted and enabled the State of Israel to murder, by your own admission, hundreds of thousands of innocent Gazan civilians the vast majority of whom were women and children. 

You turned their once beautiful country into a poisonous, stinking, uninhabitable, burnt flesh-filled, rodent-infested sea of landmines and sulphurus rubble and into an ocean of foul, rotting, verminous body parts. 

You did this by supplying Israel with the most deadly modern weapons including 2000 pound bombs which they unleashed on a weak, impoverished and defenceless civilian population in what can only be described as the most barbaric slaughter in modern history. You crushed them in body, spirit and soul. 

Yet your nation was still not done. As soon as you were sworn into office, to the horror of the civilised world, you declared your insidious intention to displace the 1.6 million Gazans that are still left alive (there were originally 2.5 million) and take over their land in order to develop it into a “prime piece of real estate” and a “beautiful holiday resort” for rich Americans! 

These are the homes and ancestral land of the Palestinian people who have been living there for over 2000 years. 

This is the land in which their loved ones and families have been caged, butchered and buried by your murderous Zionist friends for the last 76 years. 

This is the place in which millions of them have fought and died for the last seven decades in order to preserve their honor, dignity, heritage, history and identity and leave something for generations of their children yet unborn. 

You went further by publicly stating that you were “committed to owning Gaza” and that “we will let other countries develop parts of it: it will be beautiful. People can come from all over the world to live there.”

In conclusion you said, “the Palestinians would have no right to return when they leave”.

As Ambassador A. M. Shawesh, the Palestinian Ambassador to India rightly said, “When a real estate developer rules the world no one will be spared, everyone will follow”.

Your lack of empathy for the plight of the women and children of Gaza is appalling. Your inability to feel their pain and acknowledge their tears betrays the fact that you lack compassion.  

You not only want to take the little that is left of it from them but you also want to send the 1.6 million Gazans that have been left alive to Egypt and Jordan (both of whom have outrightly rejected the proposal) and turn their homeland into a holiday spot filled with American hotels, American holiday homes, American escorts and American casinos. 

You fail to appreciate the fact that to stand with Gaza is to stand with humanity. This sentiment is shared by the majority of nations including Ireland, South Africa, Brazil, China, Russia, Iran and Spain who have taken the lead in this cause. 

It is not only the Muslims and Arabs that feel this way: His Eminence Pope Francis and the majority of Christians throughout the world do as well.

Killing innocent women and children, subjecting them to mass murder, ethnic cleansing and genocide and forcefully displacing them and taking over their land cannot be justified under ANY circumstances. Is this so difficult to comprehend?

You will recall that Vice-President Kashim Shettima eloquently stated the unassailable position of the Nigerian people when he said the following at the United Nations General Assembly:  “Today we are all witnesses to the heart-wrenching situation in Gaza and other Palestinian Territories. Justice is antithetical to revenge. Freedom is an inalienable right and a natural entitlement that cannot be denied to any people. The Palestinian people deserve their independence. They deserve to have a home of their own on territories already recognised by this very Assembly and by international law which is being routinely ignored.“

His words reflect the position of no less than 149 countries  that recognise the State of Palestine as an independent, sovereign nation. 

I am proud of the fact that my country has taken such a noble stand and, unlike yours, has chosen to stand for peace and justice.  

I have always admired you because of what I believed to be your reverence for God, your Christian values, your stated intention of pulling America out of foreign conflicts, your rapprochement with Russia, China and North Korea, your opposition to the globalists and your support for the nationalists.  

Again I have always respected you because of the way you stood strong and proud in the face of the persecution that you were subjected to by the Deep State. 

Live with Purpose, Love with Passion. Remember to be happy

One ❤️❤️❤️
