The root cause of the conflict is the occupation of Palestinian territories by Israel for over five decades, which has resulted in systematic discrimination and human rights violations against the Palestinian people. 🏵️🏵️
The Gaza Strip, which is under Hamas control, has been under a severe blockade for over a decade, leading to economic, social, and humanitarian crises. Palestinians living in Gaza and the West Bank have restricted movement, limited access to vital resources, and have witnessed the destruction of their homes and businesses.
The recent conflict, Palestinians view the Israeli airstrikes on the Gaza Strip as disproportionate, resulting in the loss of civilian lives, massacre of Palestinians childern and destruction of vital infrastructure.

Israel has been falsely accusing Hamas of using civilians as human shields to justify their attacks on civilian neighborhoods.
The mainstream media often misrepresents their narrative, causing biased reporting that does not accurately reflect their reality.

The atrocities committed during the Israeli occupation of Palestinian territories, numerous reports have highlighted violations of human rights and international law.
These violations include the displacement of Palestinian communities, the construction of Israeli settlement on Palestinian territories, the confiscation of Palestinian lands and properties, house demolitions, restrictions on movement, and violence against Palestinians.
According to the United Nations, the Israeli military and settlers have committed numerous human rights violations and abuses in the occupied Palestinian territories during the past decade, including extrajudicial executions, torture, and arbitrary detention.

The UK did play a part in the birth of Israel, particularly during the Balfour Declaration of 1917. 🛑
The declaration stated that Britain viewed with favor the establishment of a national home for the Jewish people in Palestine, without prejudice to the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine.

Meanwhile, the US has been a significant supporter of Israel, often providing it with financial, diplomatic, and military assistance.
The US support for Israel has been debated in the international arena, that it amounts to double standards concerning other global conflicts such as Ukraine.
