place where another people already lived and in the next few minutes

you'll learn why this moral are the root of the struggle between Israelis

and Palestinians

and what you can do to help achieve a just peace

for everyone in the region

first there are couple of things it's helpful to understand. one:

many jews fled harsh persecution in Antisemetics Europe

especially the Nazi Holocaust

Zionist encouraged massive immigration in Historic Palestine

at that time of the British Colony reduce an age-old connection and were

small jewish communities's had long existed among larger groups of

indigenous peoples (Arabs in Palestine)

but when the UN offered the Jewish immigrants the majority of the land for

new state called Israel

for the indigenous Palestinians who live there it was a massive destruction of

life

they've rejected the UN's partition plan

and several Arab States invaded the

new State of Israel

Israeli forces essentially raze over four hundred Palestinians

Villages and towns

by the end of the fighting, Israel controlled seventy eighty percent of

Historic Palestine with three quarters of a million palestinians who fled or

were expelled during fighting

tried to return to their homes with the new state now stood

they would permanently barred (banned) by the Israeli government. well over a hundred

thousand their relatives and neighbors who hasn't left became second-class

citizens in the new state

along with the new Jewish majority

today palestinian refugees and their descendants number in the millions most

in the Gaza Strip, the West Bank and Jordan

many are spread throughout the world with million still living in refugee

camps seeking to return to their homeland

to sum up

one group of refugees kinda much needed home

but in the process a new group of refugees was created

here's the second thing to understand

Israel was founded as a Jewish state

but now ask yourself

what exactly does that mean

people had lots of ideas about what a Jewish state should look like

some called for equality for all citizens (include the Palestinean)

but what was created

in practice

was Institutional Discrimination against non Jews (Arabs, Muslim & Christians)

in other words

Israel ended up being built on a blue printed paper

the Israeli government wants the maximum lands and resources for Jews

but not the Palestinians living here

that's why inside Israel, Jews get special privileges including rights to

land and housing

better denied to the Palestinian citizens who make up twenty percent of

Israel's population

that's also part of why Israel is never defined its borders (NO OFFICIAL BORDER)

in fact they still hold onto land, the West Bank and Gaza

that they conquered in the war in 1967

since then Israel has built Jewish settlements throughout the

occupied West Bank, building jewish only cities and supplying them quick infrastructure

like roads and army camps, schools and even a college

military occupation are meant to be temporary

but after 40+ years this one looks permanent an entirely unjust

in the West Bank, Israeli Jewish settlers and Palestinians live on the same land

but must live under two completely separate and unequal systems of Israeli

law

the Jewish Settlers dominate the natural resources including water and

agricultural land

and they're backed by the Israeli army

to maintain the occupation, Israel demolished thousands of Palestinian home

and orchids

confiscated Palestinian Land

bomb and captive civilian in Gaza

and punished resistance

with raids, arrests

and assassinations

All to gain Maximum land

or making life so difficult for Palestinian

that they will either

leave or be too afraid

to resist

Palestinians have fought back

for decades they try to achieve national liberation through on struggle

some group still do

but for the majority now support popular protest instead

the deeply wrong for pattern of control repression and violence profoundly harms

Palestinians living under occupation and Israelis living as occupiers

this must be broken to reach a peaceful and secure future for both peoples

now that you understand the problem, what about the solution, what about peace

talks

so far over two decades of US-backed peace talks actually made things worst

by helping Israel continue the occupation, it's been years of talking

while Israel massively expanded the Jewish settlements

and literally redrew the map

peace talks are good if they're real! but not when they are bad to cover a land grant

So now what, the current world superpowers the USA has been a terrible friend

and it links Israel's destructive in self-destructive expansion on

Palestinian land by funding the Israeli military

the biggest recipient of US foreign aid in the world

but there's another superpower they can make the difference... YOU!

there's a movement with hundreds of thousands people just like you across

the world

including Palestinians and Israelis

protesting

educating

divesting

and boycotting

all to bring non violent

international pressure

on Israel

to stop

violating human rights of Palestinian

throughout history

our government failed to push for justice

people just like you, like us

have taken the lead and won

now its the Palestinean turn

for freedom

and justice

we can pressure Israel to END the occupation and

the discrimination

we want all want people, Jews and Palestinean

to have quality

human right

and democracy (well thats not necessary)

we can change history!!!!
