What is The Israel-Palestine Conflict?
• The Israeli Government believe they are entitled to Palestinian land, which Palestinians are opposed to. As such, The Israeli government have forcibly displaced many Palestinians, and are currently committing genocide (mass murder) and injuring many to forcibly take control of the land.
Is being pro-Palestine anti-semetic?
• No. The Israeli government is not the same as Jewish People. Being pro-Palestinian and anti-Israel does not translate to hating jews, they are different entities.
Why don't Palestinians fight back?
• Palestine can not afford a military. Israel is funded by many countries and companies worldwide who have historically been supporters of apartheid worldwide. Therefore this is not a war, as there is a huge power imbalance.
What is Hamas?
• Hamas is an armed resistance group that was created to resist Israel and the oppression of Palestinians. They are currently the governing body in Gaza, Palestine.
