The world is now seething over the US "bomb declaration".

The present US administration on February 4 declared that if Palestinians in the Gaza Strip are displaced to other parts, the US will take it over.

On February 9 the US again blustered that it would buy, own and administer Gaza and that it may be divided into regions to be rebuilt by other countries.

The whole world has been stunned by the outrageous outbursts which wantonly trample on the slightest expectation of the Palestinians aspiring to regional peace and a stable life at a time when the domestic and international concern about the fragile truce in the tear- and blood-stained Gaza Strip is growing.

Not only Palestine, Iran and other Middle East countries but also even the Western allies of the US denounce this as an "act of deporting people in Gaza ", "wanton violation of the UN Charter and international law", "disregard of the right to self-determination of Palestinians", "major obstacle to the two-state solution" and "act that can never be tolerated".

The US natural character of existing through massacre and plunder and its hegemonic and aggressive ambition for world domination are clearly proved by the present days of Gaza, not by the past history.

The world people clearly remember who patronized and fostered the inhuman atrocities and vetoed several times the resolution of the UNSC which reflected the demand for an immediate truce, talking about Israel's "right to self-defence", and who gave the murderers cutting-edge lethal weapons and invited the war criminal to Congress to applaud him.

A voice was openly heard within Israel that the war cannot be waged without the US and world media commented that the US policy towards the Middle East is the main cause of the Gaza crisis. Such facts clearly prove the criminal acts of the US, active participant and supporter of the massacres.

Far from feeling even a bit of reflection at wretched Gaza which turned into a grave of masses and debris, the US openly blustered that it would displace Palestinians and administer the land, only to reveal by itself that its brigandish intention based on the jungle law to finally occupy the Gaza Strip and expand a new springboard for carrying out the strategy for dominating the Middle East is the bottom line of fanning the ambition of the territorial expansion of its minion.

This is the US, a ferocious robber that seizes the territories and sovereignty of other countries and nations, not content with wantonly violating their life and rights for its own interests.

It is by no means a problem belonging only to the Gaza Strip.

As soon as the present US administration took office, it has mocked at international law and principles by attempting to make Greenland part of the US, advocating jurisdiction over the Panama Canal and renaming the Mexico Bay the "American Bay".

The sovereignty, right to self-determination and territorial integrity of the countries and nations can never be a bargaining chip or a mockery of the US.

The present era is not the old age when Anglo-Saxons crossed the sea and were keen on developing the West by exterminating the American aborigines and plundering them of their cradle of life. And the unipolar era when the United States lorded it over as the "only superpower", making international rules and order as it pleases, has already gone.

The US should awaken from its anachronistic daydream and stop at once the act of encroaching upon the dignity and sovereignty of other countries and nations.
