History of the Palestine/Israel shit.
main points bulletpointed for ur reading pleasure
1917 the Balfour Declaration was signed, giving atheistic zionist jews land in palestine to have for themselves.
1939 there was a HUGE influx of ashkenazi jews escaping from europe to israel (palestine)
the irgun was created, a known terrorist group recognised by the UN, US, UK, and neighbouring Arab countries. they founded the IDF and their teachings are still used to this day of eradicating the arabs to create a jewish state.
1948 saw the Nakba, meaning the catastrophe. palestinians in the west bank were occupied illegally, r*ped, murdered and humiliated.
routinely since, the palestinians were murdered and their land was taken over.
in the 1990s israel funded the Hamas organisation and showed avid support for it because they didn’t want the palestinian liberation organisation (PLO) gaining power
in 2007 the first free election in gaza was held, and Hamas won with a 44% vote.
gaza was blockaded and the west bank was completely occupied by IDF as a result and routinely bombed.
in that time 28 ceasefires were broken by the IDF, not Hamas, and when the attacks would escalate, the IDF would fall back on the rhetoric that Hamas was a terrorist group
routine attacks in the west bank was done, the police force would falsely arrest people for “training” (confirm the target was innocent before conducting “arrests”)
the right-wing nationalist party seized power in israel, which was leading to civil and political unrest within people
israel opened up its country for settlers, leading to an influx of american jewish zionists stripping palestinian people from their homes with the help of the IDF
October 7 attack happens, first time Hamas incited conflict, released hostages report seeing the police and the idf shooting down israeli civilians (Hannibal Directive) and ruining plans for the anti-Netanyahu protests planned to happen a week later
israel cuts off water, gas, electricity and humanitarian aid for gaza and carpet bombs people
orders palestinians to flee, bombs escape routes and borders, hospitals, schools, refugee camps and residential areas
UK, and US pledge money for israel, media peddles that israel is the victim
israeli politicians claim objective journalism is hamas propaganda, that gaza should be flattened
UN general assembly votes for ceasefire
I’ve probably missed out stuff but i have so much more to say so lmk if y’all are interested.
