Israel has been savagely slaughtering, starving, and relentlessly bombing two million Palestinians since October 7, 2023. At least 60,000 Palestinians killed (including 13,000 children), 145,000 wounded, perhaps hundreds of thousands buried and uncounted beneath the bombed out rubble of their homes. Israel blames Hamas (which, by the way, was funded and encouraged by Israel). Blaming Hamas for Israel’s genocide is a smokescreen and excuse used to justify the ethnic cleansing and elimination of all Palestinians from Gaza and the West Bank. This brutal and illegal ethnic cleansing started with the forced expulsion of 800.000 Palestinians from their homes in 1948 (the Nakba). Israel violently evicted Palestinians from their lands and stole farms, homes, and property. The displaced Palestinians were forcibly relocated to refugee camps like Gaza or forced out of Israel altogether. It was ugly. The Israeli military (many of whom were Haganah and Irgun terrorists) would go to Palestinian homes at noon and say: “We will be back at 5pm. If you are still here we will kill you.” The Palestinians fled and to this day are not allowed to return to their homes. Tragically, Israel has become a pariah nation despised by the world. For Israel to survive, it must abandon it’s deep commitment to racist Zionism, ethno-supremacy, and the apartheid state. Israelis must fully embrace those people they are currently so viciously trying to exterminate. Israelis and those who supported, financed, and encouraged this genocide must be held accountable for their actions. Peace and reconciliation can only follow if justice prevails.
