In an interview with “Palestine Today TV”
Barakat: A popular flood is coming, and Saudi Arabia and France are leading a political extermination of our national rights
Palestinian writer Khaled Barakat affirmed in an interview yesterday with Palestine Today TV, on the program Al-Madar, that the global popular uprising against the genocidal war and starvation policies will inevitably erupt — and its flames may reach American, Canadian, European cities and beyond. This uprising will be capable of strengthening our people’s steadfastness and contributing to halting the ongoing U.S.-Zionist massacres that have continued for 22 months.
Barakat, a member of the Executive Committee of the Masar Badil, the Palestinian Alternative Revolutionary Path Movement, indicated that we are on the brink of a new revolutionary phase that will turn the balance of power upside down. He stressed that the Zionist entity is gradually becoming a burden on Europe and the United States, pointing out that “there is fertile ground for the explosion of a great global flood.”
Barakat considered the commemoration of the martyrdom of the great national leader Ismail Haniyeh to be a historic moment for declaring a state of disobedience across all arenas, and for isolating the Zionist entity, which continues to pursue policies of massacres and starvation with U.S.-European support and official Arab silence.
He emphasized the decisive role of the Palestinian, Egyptian, and Jordanian masses in particular, and the Arab masses in general, calling on them to tear up the “Camp David,” “Wadi Araba,” and “Oslo” agreements, as well as the infamous so-called “Abraham Accords.” He urged them to force the Egyptian regime, through popular power, to open the Rafah crossing and allow essential supplies, such as medicine, food, water, and more, to reach our besieged people facing genocide in Gaza.
Barakat reiterated his rejection of the so-called “two-state solution,” describing the Saudi-French approach as “a comprehensive liquidation project” of mere deception, lies, and misinformation practiced by regimes and colonial powers for decades, as a ready-made formula for erasing Palestinian national rights and as a gateway to normalization and recognition of the Zionist entity. He characterized the factions of the Palestinian Authority in Ramallah as being akin to the Arab regimes: complicit and impotent.
Barakat noted that the Zionist crimes in the Gaza Strip will drive Palestinian youth in the diaspora to return to armed struggle and the path of fedai (guerrilla) action once again, as the crimes and genocidal war will not pass without a collective Palestinian response and without massive historical consequences for the entire region.
He launched a fierce attack on the hypocritical positions of Canada and Europe, which justify the enemy’s crimes, sell it weapons, and then offer Palestinians illusions in the form of what is called “recognition of the Palestinian state.”
