THIS IS NOT A "RENTRY RESOURCE". THIS IS A COMPLIATION OF ALL OF MY PALESTINE RESOURCES. THESE ARE FACTUAL OR ACCOUNTS FROM PEOPLE AFFECTED. I AM A PALESTINIAN MYSELF AND WILL NOT STOP EDUCATING AND WILL NEVER CENSOR MYSELF. This will be constantly updated.
to understand the genocide right now at its fullest, you have to know it's history, starting with how the land was sold to the zionist state. Britain had essentially conquered the land of Palestine, and then sold it to the zionist state because they had made a deal. This deal was made out of antisemitism. neither the USA or Britain wanted to house the Jewish immigrants that were coming to them from the Holocaust. The Jewish state wasn't created out of benevolence and care for Jewish people, it was made out of antisemitism and the need to control oil and affairs in West Asia. You might be surprised to find out that many, many Jews argued against the creation of Israel, including Albert Einstein who said if the land of Israel is given, there will be a genocide and he just couldn't stand for that. You also have to understand the Nakba, which is catastrophe in Arabic. this refers to when the UN tried to set up a two state solution and the Arab world denied it, and it was extremely unfair to Palestine. It gave Israel all the fertile land, and left the people of Palestine in the mountains. This caused Israel to use their militant power, on a people's who have no military. they displaced and killed thousands and with the help of British soldiers Israel was declared its own state.
what is apartheid and how does it apply to Israel?
Apartheid refers to a political agenda where a group of people based on race are segregated and discriminated against systematically. This is a major loss of civil and political rights. This describes the actions of Israel to Palestine. They forced Palestine off their land, control everything that goes in and out of Palestine. They restrict them of food, water, electricity, medical supplies and housing. Those who resist are met with brutal force and torture inside Israeli prisons. Israel's government has spoken over and over again about their dislike of arabs and brown people. Words they have used to describe the Arab population include savage, beast, animal, subhuman, and a cancer. this article goes into more depth on how Israel is an apartheid state.
"But Hamas-"
yes, Hamas is horrible for the actions they've committed, no one is denying that, however it doesn't justify what Israel is doing to the innocent people of Palestine. It doesn't justify what Israel had been doing before Oct. 7th either. This isn't Israel vs Hamas, this a genocide. Israel has dropped the equivalent of 2 nuclear bombs on Gaza. Gaza is smaller than most american cities. The human casualty rate has succeeded far beyond what the UN and Genova convention would consider reasonable defense. Majority of Gaza's population is children. The death toll has now exceeded that of the Nakba. It also doesn't justify the deaths of over 90 journalists, the deaths of over 100 United Nations Relief and Work agents or the deaths of over 8,000 children, the desecration of cemeteries, or the harvesting of dead Palestinian organs
"Is this only Palestine v Israel?"
no! this started with Palestine, and Israel has made it clear this won't end with Palestine either. Israel has bombed Beirut, the Egyptian border, South Lebanon, and Iran. They have time and time again called for the destruction of the Arab peoples. Israel is also one of the largest exporters of Congolese minerals, directly funding the genocide and human trafficking in Congo. Israel is the reason the UN pulled out humanitarian aid from Yemen. Israel, has also sterilized jewish Ethiopian women who immigrated into Israel, along with 1/3 of their Holocaust survivors living below the poverty line.
Will Israel ever be brought to justice?
On January 11th, Israel will be brought to the world court facing charges of genocide and apartheid. The country taking them to ICJ (international court of justice) is South Africa, the country who created the term apartheid. They are backed by over 900+ organizations, and countries including Lebanon, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Myanmar and Scotland. 100 Chilean lawyers, have also made a case against Israel in the ICC (international criminal court) on crimes of genocide and breaking the Genova Convention. Read South Africa's full, detailed case against Israel here
What can I do to help?
You may think you're powerless, but that's far from the truth. The most help you could do for the Palestinian people, is educate yourself and others on the genocide and the culture, don't stay silent, attend protests if you can, and donate esims, while food and money donations are in good spirit its hard for any Palestinian to get these when Israel won't let the aid trucks enter the country. You can also help (and should do this regardless) by boycotting the targets listed by BDS including targets like Starbucks, McDonald's, Burger King, Taco Bell, and Puma. You can also boycott pro zionist actors including Noah Schnapp, Adam Sandler, Jordan Peele, Taika Waititi and Jack Black. You should also be uplifting Palestinian voices much like my own. If you are white, I encourage you more than anyone to stand up for Palestine. Your voice will matter to people far more than the voice of someone like me. White silence is violence. Don't let the government trick you into thinking your voice means nothing.
Is Israel doing anything else?
yes, Israel is doing a LOT. They are kidnapping and targeting children. They are capturing "Hamas" soldiers and humiliating and torturing them on camera. Relatives of these men have come out and said that they are not Hamas and are just regular civilians. Among these kidnapped men, are children. They are taking young boys and claiming they're Hamas. This constant bombing is also doing HORRIBLE things to the environment. in the matter of months they've released the amount of carbon admissions that 2,500 American homes do annually just by bombings alone.
