As A Jew, I Have No Ancestral Rights To Palestine

"As a Jew, I have no ancestral rights to the land of Palestine. If I got a DNA test, it would show European descent.

To think that a white person would have ancestral ties to Middle Eastern land is absurd and stems from a colonizers mindset."

What's happening in Palestine is not "complicated", and it's not some insane "2000 year war about religion".

1917 : The Balfour Declaration was passed by the British, signing over the Palestinian land that was not their's to begin with to the Jewish people. Jewish people are not native to Palestine, and “israel” did not exist until 1948. The Balfour Declaration was the most controversial and contested documented in all of modern history.

1936 : A partition came into play, where the British once again promised the Palestinian land to be allocated to the Jewish people to become a "Jewish state". A 3 year revolt takes place to contest the partition which brought an end the the British army having anymore control over Palestine, and over 5000 Palestinians were killed. During this time the first armed zionist group was formed (Irgun) and they launched a series of unprecedented attacks against the Palestinian people.

1946 : Irgun bombed the King David Hotel which killed another 91 Palestinians, then in May of 1948 "israel" was formed which resulted in 750,000 Palestinians being displaced and 530 Palestinian villages being destroyed - this is referred to as the 1st Nakba (which means "disaster" in Arabic) - the 2nd Nakba started on October 7th. The remaining 22% of Palestine that had yet to be occupied was then divided into the Gaza Strip and The West Bank. That same year the UN passed a legislation that allowed Palestinian refugees to return home, but they were treated as second class citizens. "israel" controls the Palestinian education, prohibits their involvement in politics & elections, they control how much food and water they get, and their medical supplies.

1956-1966 : "israel" massacred the Palestinian villages Qalqilya, Kufr, Qassem, Khan Younis, and As-Samu.

1967 : "israel" occupied the remainder of historic Palestine in Gaza & The West Bank (and by occupy I mean they forcibly removed Palestinians from their homes, demolished their homes, or lived in the upper parts of their houses, forcing Palestinians to live in the lower halves, and then they built wire fences over top of these houses on the outside to block their view of the sky and so they could also throw garbage, boiling water, & human waste at the Palestinians walking the streets below. During that time another 300,000 Palestinians were displaced. The UN called for "israel" to leave Palestine, but they did not do that.

1976 : 1000's of hectares of Palestinian land were forcibly confiscated & protests were brutally shut down.

1987 : The first Intifada starts (which means the Palestinian revolution) where "isreal" established 45 more settlements on Palestinian land. A massive peaceful protest broke out by the Palestinians to show that the occupation & brutalization of their land and people was no longer acceptable. The IOF defence minister at the time, Yitzhak Rabin, ordered the IOF to break the bones of all Palestinians who were protesting. This is when the Hamas resistance group was founded (it was actually created initially by "israel" in hopes that it would divide the Palestinian people and shut down the Muslim Brother Hood - another resistance group). During that time 1000+ Palestinians were killed by the IOF.

1993 : the 2nd Intifada begins. The Oslo Accord is signed which was meant to being "peace" and a "2 state solution", but that just turned into more brutality by the IOF and another 5000+ Palestinians were killed. The IOF instigated Palestinian protestors with 1.3 million rounds of ammunition. Diana Buttu (a Palestinian-Canadian lawyer) made a statement saying the bill for a "2 state solution" was no more than a distraction for "israel" to carry out their plan in silence from the rest of the world which was always for the extermination, ethnic cleansing, and occupation of Palestine.

2014 : The Gaza War happened. This is when "israel" introduced the apartheid wall, which further isolated the Palestinians. They also launched a large scale attack on Gaza with ariel & naval fire power, 2500+ Palestinians were killed in just 50 days. In Gaza the IOF destroyed 83 schools, 10 healthcare centres, and 12,600 housing units.

2008-2023 : 8000+ more Palestinians were killed by the IOF, and now since october 7th 23,000+ Palestinians have been killed, and 1.6 million have been displaced.

This is one of the largest ongoing examples of colonial violence in the world today.

just found out about order no. 40 from the nakba. i think its a key information in understanding the attack of october 7th and the whole war.

so here the official document.

its in hebrew and a bit hard to read. so i’ll translate the important parts.

“2. role: expulsion of the palestinian refugees from the villages and prevention of their return by the destruction of their villages”

seems a bit extreme don’t you think? well its not ending here

“3. the method:

a) {after} surveying the villages of al-Khisas, Jira, Khirbat Khuza‘a, Bi‘lin, al-Jiyya, Barbara, Bayt Jirja, Hiribya, Dayr Sunayd, gather the residents, load them on vehicles and expel them to Gaza. remove them beyond our(israel’s) lines in Bayt Hanun.

b) separate the locals from the refugees in al-Majdal (as explained in a)

c) burn the houses and demolish the stone houses

d) check the refugees who weren’t expelled among them the enemies and execute {them}

e) check the roads to the refugees and their origin”

e is presumably to find anyone who tried to run back, but this part is my speculation based on context clues. honestly i have no idea what else it could refer to, but i translated it for the full picture. the rest of the document is logistics, it was a top secret document, and even got removed from the official archives even though it was declassified. this order was sent by ben gurion, the highest authority at the time.

zionist never came to live in israel peacefully, the came to inherit the land, by disposing of anyone who refused. the gaza strip was created to house said refugees, because egypt didn’t open their borders, and refused to accept even one refugee.

the gaza strip is an invention of israel, the towns that were attacked on october 7th were built on top of the ruins and blood of the refugees who lived there. and palestinians in gaza are (mainly) 3rd generation of the refugees from 48’.

i don’t know what needs to be done with the people who lives there now(i doubt most of them even want to come back) but this is an indispensable proof, directly from the first prime minister of israel, the highest authority at the time, that the land of gaza and the towns around belong to palestinians, and Israel forcibly expelled them from said land, destroyed any reminiscences of it, and rebuilt their own settlements.

What if I were to tell you that a race of people were forced to leave their nation and after they were driven away, their country was renamed as a way to humiliate and take away their identification with that land?

Would you say it’s horrible? Would you say they have every right to return to their land? Good!

Because that’s exactly what happened to Israel. Israel was taken by the Romans who renamed it to “Syria Palaestina” in ~130 AD. Jews are not colonizing anything. Israel is their homeland. Palestine is a colonial country.

Can someone share those books about the history of Palestine and Israel? I can't find them and I REALLY need my dad to read them before he goes on defending Israel.

(I swear to God I can't handle this he always comes back with the same "but what about those Palestinians who infiltrated and killed those teenagers having a party?" like, DAD, is there anything else you have to say about these war crimes and GENOCIDE committed against the Palestinians? Hmm? Nothing??)

Help

I have a question about the history of conflict between Palestine and Israel

So I was watching the news with my grandfather when an article on Palestine came up. He actually surprised me by saying aloud that he sides with Israel but doesn’t agree with how far it’s all going now.

And when I mentioned my surprise and confusion, he told me that Israel is the one who for decades has been under the tyrannical thumb of Palestine, and that the Jews have spent decades in hell thanks to Palestine.

Then when I told him I had heard the complete opposite, mentioning about the Nakba, the concentration camps in Gaza and the like, he screwed up his face in complete disagreement and said Israel left Gaza completely in 2005 so of course that’s not true.

And I know the extent of my knowledge of this history is 90% from tumblr, but I’ve seen videos of Israel soldiers laughing over slaughtering Palestinians and laughing about raping them. So I can’t reconcile his words with what I’ve seen.

In short, I’m basically wondering if any of what he said is true (I doubt) and if anyone can help me argue the opposite and maybe open is mind a little more

The war in Gaza is wiping out Palestine’s education and knowledge systems

“He who steals land does not surprise us by stealing a library. He who kills thousands of innocent civilians does not surprise us by killing paintings.”
