At its meeting on February 8-9, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Canada condemned US President Donald Trump\u2019s \u201cDeal of the Century\u201d as a plan for war and occupation. The Communist Party encourages all labour, solidarity and progressive organizations to demand that the Canadian government oppose the deal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu concocted the plan based entirely on the narrow interests of US imperialism and ultra-right Zionism. The proposals are virtually identical to repeated Israeli demands that have continually been rejected by Palestine and Arab governments for failing to meet minimum standards for justice, equality and human rights. The complete exclusion of any representative of the Palestinian people demonstrates clearly that this is not a plan for peace, but a project to perpetuate Israeli apartheid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The plan includes redrawing Israel\u2019s borders to annex the Jordan Valley and West Bank; not one single illegal Israeli settlement will be moved. Arab-majority communities in the Triangle will be severed from Israel and transferred to Palestine, which the Communist Party of Israel has said will essentially deport hundreds of thousands of residents and deny their homeland and citizenship. The result is that Palestine will be left as several fractured \u201cbantustans\u201d with no territorial continuity, under Israeli control. Jerusalem is identified as \u2018united and liberated under Israel\u2019 in its entirety, with Palestine having none of the city that is its capital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The longstanding and just demand for Palestine refugees\u2019 right of return is completely rejected. This condemns over 5 million people to a life of statelessness, often spent in squalid refugee camps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Palestinian People\u2019s Party has denounced the plan as \u201ca new Balfour paving the way for a new catastrophe.\u201d The PPP has warned that this is the start of an intensified effort to \u201cliquidate\u201d the Palestinian people\u2019s struggle for the right of return, freedom and independence, and has called for deepened international solidarity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump has made much of the economic package for Palestine that is contained within the plan. In fact, this is an economic package for racist profiteering. The $50 billion in investment money that is offered to Palestine would be placed in a fund and managed to maximize returns for investors. In order to receive disbursements from the fund, the Palestinian state would be required to implement neoliberal policies of privatization, tax cuts and deregulation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Canadian government is yet to comment publicly on the deal, with Foreign Affairs Minister Fran\u00e7ois-Philippe Champagne only stating that he will \u201cexamine the details.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

History suggests that \u201cthe details\u201d do not matter much to the Trudeau government, which has enthusiastically continued the imperialist, pro-US foreign policy priorities of the Harper Conservatives. The Canadian government\u2019s ongoing attacks against the Boycott-Divestment-Sanctions (BDS) campaign, and the Palestine solidarity movement generally, demonstrate very clearly where Champagne\u2019s \u201cexamination\u201d will lead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Communist Party reaffirms its solidarity with the Palestinian people, including through support for BDS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This attack on the Palestinian people requires strong and united international solidarity. We call upon all peace and solidarity activists, as well as the trade union movement, to demand that the Canadian government oppose the Trump-Netanyahu\u00a0deal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
