Nakba

 Tomorrow is the anniversary of the day when the Palestinians were deposed of their land and houses which had been theirs for many, many years.. It was where they had put down their roots and generations had handed the keys to their homes from one to another. 

 When the state of Israel was created Following the 1948 Palestinian exodus, also known as al-Nakba, the 700,000 Palestinians who fled or were driven from their homes were not allowed to return following the Lausanne Conference of 1949. After this the Palestinians were essentially left with Gaza and the Left Bank.Since then the Israelis have slowly stolen their remaining land, in contravention of UN resolutions, and built settlements and a huge and monstrous wall has been built by the Israelis dividing Palestinian from Palestinian.
 Gaza has become a concentration camp blockaded by the Israelis and the Egyptian military with thousands dying of starvation and lack of medical supplies. Ironically after the history of the Jewish people it is they that are now exterminating the Palestinian people. As Nakba approaches the people of Gaza are protesting, at the border fence, on Palestinian land created by the Israelis, and as they approach the fence are being mowed down in their hundreds from live fire, from the Israeli army who are acting like ruthless terrorists. 
Tomorrow is Nakba Day and thousands of protesters have been mown down by Israeli gunmen and the nations of the world, who preach to us about the evils of terrorism and radicalisation, will avert their eyes and do nothing. But we can act as individuals by supporting such organisations as the Palestinian Children's Relief Fund.  The Israeli government shames the Jewish people. May you go in peace.

Moments later this amputee was shot dead by Israeli IDF terrorists. Nikki Haley, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, told an emergency meeting of the Security Council that Israel had acted with restraint.
