77 Years of Ongoing Nakba – 77 Years of Ongoing Resistance

Seventy-seven years since the Zionist project violently expelled our people from their homes, stole their lands, and established a settler-colonial entity atop the ruins of historic Palestine, the Nakba continues. The occupation of 1948 was not an isolated event but the foundation of an ongoing colonial regime that seeks to erase Palestinian existence across all our land—from Gaza and the West Bank to the villages and cities occupied since 1948, including Haifa, Yafa, and Lyd. Today, as Zionist forces escalate massacres in Gaza, besiege Jenin, and deepen ethnic cleansing in Jerusalem and the Naqab, we reaffirm: The struggling youth and students of Palestine, the diaspora, and the world are the inheritors of a struggle for total liberation, not mere survival.

The United States and its imperialist allies remain the driving force behind this injustice, arming and legitimizing the Zionist entity while pressuring Arab regimes to normalize its colonization. These regimes, in Riyadh, Cairo, Amman, and Abu Dhabi, shamefully prioritize profit over principle, betraying Palestine to serve foreign agendas. We categorically reject all attempts to legitimize the occupation of any inch of Palestine, from Safd to Um El Rashrash, or fragment our cause. The so-called “two-state solution” is a colonial mirage; our people’s rights—to return, to self-determination, and to reclaim all stolen land—are non-negotiable.

It is clear today that the rifle and the rocket will be what liberates our land. The Resistance in Gaza and the Arab region has inflicted heavy losses on the Zionist and American aggressors, pushing the imperialist world rapidly towards collapse and irrelevance. The Palestinian Youth in Diaspora, joined by internationalist strugglers, must ignite a global intifada to permanently end the 77-year Nakba, declaring ourselves: “Behind the enemy everywhere!”

The road to liberation is long, but our path is unwavering: All of Palestine, from the river to the sea, will be free. The youth of today inherit a legacy of resilience. Let us honor it by dismantling colonial lies, defending our people’s right to return, and forging global solidarity until the occupation, in all its forms, since 1948, is dismantled.
