Stop Israeli massacre in Jenin refugee camp

5 Ways to Take Immediate Action! Stop the Israeli Massacre in Jenin Refugee Camp End U.S. Support for Zionist War Crimes in Palestine  Al Aw

By Al-Awda NY

As Palestinians are enduring unimaginable suffering at the hands of the colonizing zionist entity’s settlers and armed forces- who’ve escalated their coordinated and unbridled criminal violence- we call on all people of conscience to raise their voices and demand an end to the zionist massacre and invasion of the Jenin refugee camp; to end expansion of and dismantle settlements which are war crimes; and to end the horrifying settler pogroms against Palestinian towns.

Even according to Palestinians, they have no history before Zionism

Blogging about Israel and the Arab world since, oh, forever.

Al-Awda, The "Palestine Right to Return Coalition," has a calendar so people can see what dates are important in Palestinian history as well as the dates for Palestinian holidays.

Month by month, the calendar goes over what happened on specific dates in history.

The earliest date mentioned, and the only one before the 20th century, is this:

1840 Lord Palmerstone, British Foreign Minister-later Prime Minister, sent letter on 11 August, to his Ambassador in Istanbul, to encourage the Sultan to allow and bless the settlement of the European Jews with their wealth in Palestine, to prosper the economy, and to create a barrier against Muhammad Ali’s advancement.

This is Jewish history, not "Palestinian history."

The earliest event that can be remotely considered "Palestinian" is from 1918:

1918 Formation of the Moslem-Christian Committees in Jaffa and Jerusalem, spreading through the different Palestinian cities, in April.

This is after the Balfour Declaration so it is obviously a response to Zionism, not an independent movement.

Times Square, 42nd St. & 7th Ave., Manhattan

A coalition of Arab- and Palestinian-American organizations and their allies are calling for a rally this Friday, December 8 at Times Square, NY at 4:30 pm.

Palestinians and all people of conscience who are truly committed to peace in the region oppose the unilateral decision by President Trump to move the American embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem and further dispossess the Palestinians (including Muslims, Christians and others who consider the city sacred) of this national capital in Jerusalem.
