“What humiliation, Trump destroyed the Palestinian symbol. What happens now?

Sayed Kashua, one of the largest Arab-Israel writers, has always been raised for his novels' humor as well as articles in the Haaretz daily. Today, however, Kashua has lost her desire to laugh, even smiling. The author of “Two in a” and “The latest adoptions of Palestinian lives in Jerusalem”, 42, answer with a voice filled with sadness from Illinois, where he moved to 2014 after living two decades in his Jerusalem. Kashua bid farewell to the holy city because he was disappointed by the extreme and divided right, the one who has lived throughout his life in the “limit”, being with Muslim families but subjects of Israel and writer in Hebrew.

What will Jerusalem now be after Trump's proclamation?

The American president destroyed a Palestinian symbol. But not the dream of a state that will always remain in Palestinian people, how long will it be alive. All of this is tragic and sad, but it will not change the inhumane conditions of Palestinians living in Jerusalem for decades without the rights of the Israelites, nor will it change the inhuman conditions of Palestinians living in Jerusalem. It's apartheid.

Now what?

I hope the protests remain peaceful, for Palestinians to retain the dignity that has often distinguished them, but the risk of an uprising is strong. The new generations will go down to the squares to protest. Consider how fast and powerful the Israelite iron fist will be.

Will Hamas' extremist organisations benefit, compared with the OCL in Cisordani and President Abu Mazen?

Unfortunately, until today OCL with its mild approach has taken nothing from the Israelites over the years, lost more territories, and the movement of Trump and Netanyia in Jerusalem is the next demonstration: they want to force Abu Mazen to accept a peace agreement without Jerusalem, but it is impossible. Now is the time to break up OCL because Abu Mazen has lost all credibility, just as many other Arab leaders - from Saudis to Egyptians, no one says a word about what Trump is doing. This is humiliating to all Arabs and it robs me of hope. / Source: La Repubblica prepared: The world..
