WHATS HAPPENING IN PALESTINE: a very important thread:

please take the time to read and educate yourselves as the majority aren’t aware/ignoring the situation.

Palestine is an Arab islamic country located in the levant in western asia. its been occupied by isra*l , a jewish ethnistate established by zionists in 1948.

please keep in mind that this crisis is not about religion. in fact not all palestinians are muslims. religion is a part of it but there’s a much bigger issue

Zionism: is a racist ideology and nationalist movement. The primary goal of the Zionists was to seize the largest possible area of historical Palestine with the least possible number of its Palestinian inhabitants. And the goal remains the same.

The zionist leader, Theodor Herzl decided to gather the jews from all over the world to make a homeland, several jewish conferences took place where they suggested Palestine, Argentina, Uganda and Mozambique and settled for Palestine

In the year 1948 Alnakba happened, Alnakba means catastrophe in arabic. It refers to the mass exile of more than 750,000 Palestinians forcefully from their homes with violence, destroying homes and murder.

by May of 1948, almost half of the Palestinian population were exiled from their homes to refugee camps or worse.

there was also the 6 day war in 1967. its a war that lasted 6 days between arab countries and isra*l. isra*l won and as a result it occupied the gaza strip, the west bank, east jerusalem and more. in the following decade 7 mil Palestinian refugees couldn’t return to their homes

gaza: is a small strip of land with a population of nearly 2 million people, its the “world’s biggest open air prison”. where its almost impossible to go in or out of gaza with isra*l continues to bomb them and hurt no one but civilians.

the “right of return” refers to the basic human right of Palestinians to return to their homes; but isra*l continues to deny them this right and claim Palestinian land theirs.

what is happening now?
isra*l still exiles, displace and even murder Palestinians ruthlessly, and with today’s world denying the situation and rooting for isra*l more innocent people suffocate while the world is in silence.
