The History of Palestine
How it Started:
This didn't start on October 7th.
Israel was founded by the political Zionist ideology that the Jewish people needed a home after the Holocaust. They asked the British Empire for Uganda or Argentina. Ultimately, Britain, with no legal grounds for doing so, gave them a slice of Palestine to live in, in exchange for tons of money from The Rothschild Family.
(If you recall, Britain was the original colonizer, drawing lines in the sand all over Asia & the Middle East, causing much havoc and MURDER when they did so in 1947, just a year prior in India & Pakistan.)
Instead of living peacefully together as the original Palestinian Jews, Christians, and Muslims had lived for generations, the Zionists waged war on the Palestinians. It all began with the Nakba in 1948, followed by a number of massacres over the years until today.
In short, once the Zionists landed in Palestine, there was no peace.
The Nakba “The Great Catastrope”
THE NAKBA: Five Palestinian Towns Massacred by militant Zionist groups, followed by the ethnic cleansing of 750,000 Palestinians to create Israel:
• Dec 1947 – Balad al-Sheikh Massacre: 70 Palestinian men, women & children killed by militant zionists
• Feb 1948 – Saasaa Massacre: 10 Palestinians men, women & children killed by militant zionists
• Oct 1948 – Saasaa Masscre: Unknown number, but it was considered a mass murder by militant zionists
• Oct 1948 – Saliha Massacre: 94 Palestinian men, women & children slaughtered by militant zionists
• July 1948 – Lydda Massacre: 200 Palestinian men, women & children slaughtered by militant zionists
• April 1948 – Deir Yaseen Massacre: 110 Palestinian men, women, & children slaughtered by militant zionists.
Continuous Massacres:
1953 – Qibya Massacre: 69 Palestinians murdered by the Israel Defense Forces.
1956 – Kafir Qasim massacre: 48 Palestinian men, women, & children murdered by the Israel Defense Forces for breaking curfew that was only imposed the day prior, without their knowledge. 23 of them were children.
1956 – Khan Younis massacre: 275 Palestinian men, women, & children were murdered by the Israel Defense Forces in a house-to-house raid of Khan Younis.
1956 – Rafah Massacre: 111 Palestinian men, women, & children slaughtered by the Israel Defense Forces
1970 – Bahir el-Baqr Massacre: Israel bombed the Egyptian primary school, killing 46 children and wounding 50 children (Israel loves killing children – as they see them as “children of darkness”)
1982- Sabra and Shatila Massacre: 3,500 Palestinian & Lebanese civilians when Israel bombed Beirut
2002 – Jenin Massacre: 54 Palestinians murdered by the IDF
2002 – Gaza Massacre: 17 Palestinians murdered, 150 wounded by the IDF
2009 – Zeitoun Massacre: 21 Palestinians of the same family, murdered by the IDF
2014– Gaza Massacre: 40 Palestinians murdered by the IDF
2021 – Gaza Massacre: 240 Palestinians murdered by the IDF; 1,910 injured by the IDF
How its Going: The Gaza Genocide
October 2023 – Gaza Massacre:
18,000 Palestinians murdered by the IDF
8,000 of whom are children
5,000 women
50,000 injured by the IDF – many of whom are now double amputees, including over 2,000 children
8,000 still missing under the rubble.
The bombing continues every second of every day; with only the sound of Israeli drones in the sky. It is a form of psychological warfare.
In addition to that, there is no food, water, electricity, or fuel. And, Israel is withholding supplies from getting into Gaza – Egyptian trucks have been waiting at the border to be let in.
Even when they are let in, only a few trucks are allowed in, not nearly enough to supply the 2.3MM Gazans in desperate need.
The West Bank is Under Attack
In the West Bank, there is relatively more freedom but checkpoints galore, violent settlers claiming homes daily, IDF harassing and killing people in the streets, IDF claiming hostages of men, women, and children and throwing them in prisons - about 7,000 in jail, and “sterilized streets” in which Palestinians are not allowed to walk.
Does this sound familiar?
