Free Palestine (entry 2)

 1948

 The moment that marked the history 

It is important to note that after WW1, Palestine, which was under British control, was the victim of a series of violent outbreaks. Now, instead of kicking the jews that are trying to build a nation on another existent land (Palestine), the UN proposed a "Partition Plan", dividing Palestine into two states: Arab Palestine, and Jewish Israel, while keeping Jerusalem under the UN control, when it clearly should be for the Palestinians!!

At 4 pm, Rothschild Boulevard and David Ben Gurion officially declared Israel as an independent state: "Israel strives to develop the land for the good of all its residents, it would also ensure social and political rights to all citizens without discrimination of religion, sex, or race." 

None of that happened.

In fact, it is unfair, cruel, and unreasonable that, after this speech, and "between 1947 and 1949, "at least 750,000 Palestinians from a 1.9 million population were made refugees beyond the borders of the state. Zionist forces had taken more than 78 percent of historic Palestine, ethnically cleansed and destroyed about 530 villages and cities, and killed about 15,000 Palestinians in a series of mass atrocities, including more than 70 massacres." (Al Jazeera) 

I do not understand how the Israeli government and the IDF do not realize the racism that they are being a part of by letting the differences between them and the Palestinians divide them, instead of focusing on what they have in common, a land that represents history for both.

What the US did to Israel

How come Israelis get to be seen as the helpless victims who have no one to help them on the media when in reality, they have way more support, money, food, nuclear bombs, and even home than Palestinians do...

Let me state a clearer example; the United States of America gave Israel almost 3 million billion dollars since 1985, which shows its support to the state. In addition, according to Al-Jazeera, Biden is expressing high support for the state of Israel by sticking to a long-established script in Washington.

Palestinians deserve a home:

Palestinians are humans struggling for freedom
Not terrorists, not Hamas, not Bombers
To that poor family that died from the IDF's boredom
To that kid who was murdered and strangled from all corners

Easy for you to say there are two sides to every story
you didn't have your 3 daughters killed in the middle of the night by the enemy
whether you want it or not, Palestine will be Free
Justice will be made and the IDF will take accountability

Ethnic cleansing, land theft, colonialism, and occupations
Yet people still call this a conflict
When it is clear here that Palestine is the victim of Israel and its actions
Thus, the western media goes blind and manipulates the verdict

Zionism, Anti-Semitism, Free Palestine, colonization, Arabs, Muslims, and Israelis... In this blog, you will be reading how the illegal state of Israel was formed without acknowledging the natives of the land, also known as the Palestinians, who are suffering injustice to this day. Free Palestine P eople like to call what is currently happening between Palestine and Israel a two-sided situation, or even a conflict, but here is where they are wrong. The illegal and one-sided creation of the Israeli state took the lives of many by oppressing for nearly half a century the indigenous people of the land, the Palestinians (فلسطيني). I n order to be objective, one should not be neutral. People can have different points of view, therefore that does not mean that the truth should be somewhere in the middle or that there is a common ground. Similar to that, "Israeli colonialism and ethnic cleansing of Palestinians is an objective fact. Maintaining a neutral position on this war crime is not...

  " Can Israelis and Palestinians See Eye to Eye? || Creators for Change | Middle Ground " As a young Muslim, Arab, South Lebanese woman who lived in Lebanon my whole life, neighbor to Palestine and Israel, I have learned the importance of history and how much it affects our daily lives. During all my years living in the Middle East, everyone talks about how bad Israelis are and that they are the enemy therefore, I decided to finally form my own opinion by doing my own research 6 years ago. I remember when I was around 14, I saw my favorite content creator on youtube, "Jubilee", download a new controversial video where they brought people with opposite points of view to discuss their opinions.  Link of the video that I highly recommend watching:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Jj8vne0ca0  I am not going to hide the fact that, at first, I was scared. Usually, every time I see Palestinians and Israelis in the same sentence, it's either another fight, attack, bom...

 Illegal settlements continue as more and more Palestinians are being murdered by Israeli Soldiers Like I mentioned earlier, the murder of Palestinians is not something new and has been going on even before 1948. Therefore, in the 1967 Middle East War, Israel, unfortunately, occupied East Jerusalem and illegally seized the west bank that they consider the "heartland" of the Jewish history as written by AlJazeera.  Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iDbYrbK1CS8  "Hundreds of thousands of Israelis have since moved into settlements that are regarded as illegal under international law." (AlJazeera)  This is Outrageous and inhuman! The violence and murderous behavior that the Israeli soldiers are committing goes against Palestinian freedom. Thus, the courageous  Mohammed Daadas was waving his Palestinian flag to honor his country in front of the Israeli soldiers. Mohammad was participating in a riot against the continuous illegal expansion of settlements that ar...
