                                            Kushner talked about ‘Gaza’s
                                            waterfront property’, which,
                                            he said, could be ‘very
                                            valuable’. ‘If I was

                                            Kushner’s statements are
                                            easy to dismiss as a fantasy
                                            since they contain a measure
                                            of ridiculousness. However,
                                            to do so would be misguided:
                                            Kushner was the architect of
                                            Trump’s Abraham Accords,
                                            which led to the
                                            normalisation of Israeli
                                            relations with Bahrain,
                                            Morocco, and the United Arab
                                            Emirates. He also has a
                                            close relationship with
                                            Israel’s Prime Minister
                                            Benjamin Netanyahu (who used

                                            is a hot desert, a place
                                            that remains sparsely
                                            populated even after the
                                            expulsion of many of the
                                            Palestinian Bedouin. But
                                            Gaza has possibilities as a
                                            seaside resort and as a base
                                            for Israel’s exploitation of
                                            natural gas reserves in the
                                            eastern Mediterranean Sea.
                                            This accounts for the
                                            sustained attention it has
                                            received within the Zionist
                                            agenda, represented in
                                            Kushner’s blunt statement.
                                            But, if history is any
                                            judge, it is unlikely that
                                            the Palestinians will move
                                            from Gaza to al-Naqab or
                                            even the Sinai desert. They
                                            will fight. They will

                                            September 1965, after he
                                            returned to Palestine from
                                            Moscow, Tawfiq Zayyad wrote
                                            the poem ‘Here We Will
                                            Remain’. It was published
                                            the next year in Haifa by
                                            al-Ittihad Press alongside
                                            his classic ‘I Shake Your
                                            Hand’, which was put to
                                            music by the Egyptian singer
                                            Sheikh Imam and memorised by
                                            Palestinian children across
                                            the world (‘my hand was
                                            bleeding, and yet I did not
                                            give up’). The events of
                                            1976 strengthened Zayyad’s
                                            popularity in Nazareth,
                                            where he remained the mayor
                                            till his death in 1994.
                                            Tragically, he was killed in
                                            a car crash as he returned
                                            from the West Bank, where he
                                            had gone to welcome Yasser
                                            Arafat to Palestine after
                                            the Oslo Accords. Thinking
                                            of Land Day, and thinking of
                                            Gaza, here is Comrade
