SHORT HISTORY:“Israel” has occupied Palestine for 75 years
1917: British promise Zionists the right to settle in Palestine, facilitate Jewish settler colonization of Palestine 1923-1948.
1947-1949: 500+ Palestinian towns, villages, cities destroyed by the Zionist settler-colonial state of “Israel”, called “Nakba” &15,000 Palestinians killed in massacres.
Zionist movement has displaced and ethnically cleansed +750,000 Indigenous Palestinians from their land.
WHAT’S HAPPENING NOW: “Israel” declared war on the Gaza Strip after an unprecedented attack by the military segment of theHamas political party, a Palestinian resistance party elected in 2006, who attacked “Israeli” settlers on Saturday October 7th 2023,killing more than 1,300 settlers; a response to years of ongoing oppression and the massacring of thousands of Indigenous
Palestinians in Gaza Between 2008-2020 more than 5,590 Palestinians were slaughtered by the settler-colony also known as“Israel”. During that time frame 251 “Israeli” settlers were also killed.
On October 11, 2023 the “Israeli” settler colonial army boasted that 6,000 bombs weighing a combined 4,000 tonnes had been
dropped on Gaza, one of the world’s most densely populated regions where 2.2 million people live on a 365sq-km (140sq-mile)
strip of land. “Israel” who also controls the food, electricity, internet and water in Gaza, has also cut off all access to thoseresources during this Genocide. As of October 19th, 2023 , more than 3,785 + Palestinians have been slaughtered , including
more than 1,000 children and at least 12,493 injured. In addition, “Israel” refuses to let outside humanitarian aid into Gaza andtargets journalists and charities trying to document and respond to the ongoing genocide.
Half of Gaza’s population of 2.2 million are under the age of 18.
The UN observer to Palestine has said “‘Israel’ has not spared a single Palestinian family in Gaza,” bombing them in their homes,
she said. Those who are not injured are displaced, and those who thought they found safety in Al-Ahli Hospital were massacred.
At least 500 people are known to have been slaughtered in the Al-Ahli hospital bombing on October 18th.
The brutal violence by “Israel” can not be classified as self defense - it is not self defense to unrelentingly target and kill unarmed
indigenous people being occupied by a colonial superpower. This is a genocide. We can mourn the loss of human life of all people& must call for an immediate cease-fire from “Israel”, an end to the violent occupation of Palestine.
