The Palestinians Isrealis conflict can be summed up as a struggle against the systematic dispossessing of their land, rights, and daily lives. 🏵️🏵️
The Palestinian narrative accedes that Zionist groups came to Palestine in the early 20th century with the intent of establishing a Jewish state, triggering the conflict.
However, after 1948, Palestinians faced genocide, displacement, and illegal settlement building.
For instance, according to Al Jazeera, over 700,000 Palestinians were forced out of their homes during the war.
Today, Palestinians continue to be subjected to discrimination, home demolitions, land confiscation, and military occupation that negatively affects their access to resources, education, healthcare, and employment.
Palestinians are fighting to regain their freedom, rights, and dignity.
A peaceful resolution that addresses the root causes of the conflict is necessary for a just solution.
Palestinians seek independence, sovereignty, and security in their homeland.
As such, the Palestinian people demand a fair resolution that ensures their rights to live in peace and security, free from oppression and fear of displacement.
For instance, the situation in Ukraine has been addressed by the international community actively.
Several countries imposed economic sanctions on Russia in response to its annexation of Crimea in 2014. The United Nations set up a monitoring mission to monitor the human rights situation in Ukraine. 👇👇
In contrast, in Palestine, the international community fails to undertake a collective and robust approach to the issue.
For instance, Israel has been criticized for constructing illegal settlements in the West Bank, despite the United Nations resolution condemning the action.
The United States has been a primary actor that has shown inconsistency in its actions towards the two conflicts. 👇
For example, the US supported Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity by providing aid to Ukraine and imposing economic sanctions on Russia for its role in the conflict.
In comparison, President Trump's administration recognized Jerusalem as Israel's capital, breaking away from the international consensus.
The US has also provided unwavering support to Israel, which has led to biased dealings by the US administration towards Palestine.
