Israel's policy of collective punishment has resulted in multiple human rights violations and has caused significant hardship for the Palestinian population.

It is important to note that despite the atrocities that they face, Palestinians have always been a peaceful and moderate people.
However, they have been forced to defend themselves against Israeli aggression to protect their rights and their Palestinian land.
According to data, Israel has implemented a series of measures that restrict the movement and freedoms of all Palestinians, including checkpoints, closures of Palestinian territories, and restrictions on travel, trade, and access to basic resources like water and electricity.
These measures have made daily life extremely difficult for Palestinians, prompting some to resort to violent means in response to the oppressive conditions they face.
The use of home demolitions in particular has caused displacement and hardship for many Palestinians.
An estimated 78,000 Palestinian structures have been demolished in the West Bank since 1967, leading to the displacement of over 800,000 people.
While Israeli law justifies the use of home demolitions as punishment for those who carry out attacks, demolition orders have also been issued against the homes of family members who were not involved in any attacks.
In response to these oppressive conditions, some Palestinians have resorted to violent means in an attempt to resist Israeli aggression, and it's crime war.
According to Palestinian human rights organizations, Israel's policy of collective punishment has deepened resentment and support for groups like Hamas.
Israel's strength vis-à-vis the Palestinians is rooted mainly in its unwavering backing from influential global powers, including the United States, Germany, the UK, and France, as well as a media bias in favor of Israel. 🛑🛑
This power asymmetry results in an uneven distribution of resources and influence, tipping the scales in Israel's favor.
However, removing this support could drastically change the dynamics of the conflict, potentially leading to the termination of Israeli colonization efforts and allowing for the possibility of Jewish settlers returning to their countries of origin or peacefully cohabiting as citizens within the Palestinian territory.
