We are all palestinians and we are the sons of this country, anyone who will be in charge of the. Government is supposed to respond to the demands and hopes of the people, so the issue of bringing some politician to impose policies wont be welcomed, because we palestinians know very well what we want. For almost 30 years weve been waiting to have an independent state, but instead we have only moved from a bad situation to a worse. If we get the chance to have an independent state then we may witness better circumstances. Otherwise we dont need any governments and lets return to the situation before 1987, before the first intefada, because literally we are held in a big prison divided into cantons. Were really frustrated, we dont expect that there will be any true change. What we are witnessing is a change of the names. There was dr. Hamdalah and then shataya came, but nothing really has changed except for the politicians in charge. I dont think the coming cabinets will be able to of rebeld god. Its not easy. We have no trust in any arab official, whether here or from the arab countries. Since what happened in gaza, we have lost hope and confidence everyone. To be honest, the majority of people here dont know Muhammad Mustafa, but its said that hes a man with great capabilities. We hope hell be able to form new government and succeed in choosing his ministers. The most important thing for us is to change the Current Situation in every possible aspect.

If you uh take seriously the claim to decolonize the world and the global south, you have to stand with palestine.
