THE PALESTINE-ISRAEL CONFLICT
1. The reactions to the latest hostility between Palestinians and the Israelis actually underscores why the conflict, which has been more than seven decades, would not find a solution.
2. Firstly, the responses that came from powerful Western nations and their apparatus, including their media, are hypocritical, bigoted and pathological.
3. Instead of addressing the conflict for what it actually is, they chose to continue with their deceptive narrative that it is an attack on Israel by terrorists – their blame being obviously against Hamas, the Hezbollah and Iran.
4. With that narrative, they stoke fear in the Western community, claiming that it is an attack on democracy and peace loving people.
5. With that, the US in particular feel justified to extend military support to Israel to “retaliate” against Palestinians attacks.
6. All these are far from the truth. Instead they are outright lies which had been perpetuated unashamedly by Western leaders and their media.
7. The truth is actually very simple.
8. For decades, the Israelis had been committing war crimes, massacres, genocide and unthinkable atrocities against the Palestinians.
9. These are not one-off acts but rather systematically conducted without respite throughout the seven decades.
10. Apart from Palestinian land which the Israelis acquired illegally through unilateral agreements and treaties with former occupiers of Palestine, the Israeli settlers have been forcefully seizing lands and farms belonging to Palestinians.
11. The Palestinians are chased out of their land and any attempt to seek some form of restitution from the Israeli authorities are met with violence backed most times by the Israeli security forces namely the Israel Defence Forces (IDF).
12. The Palestinians, pushed to the corner, while Gaza was turned into an open air prison, attempted sporadic retaliations, which in turn were met with the full force of the IDF with weapons supplied by superpowers in particular the US.
13. This episode is not any different from previous retaliations except that probably this time around they are more focussed with a bit more assistance externally.
14. But the Western powers and their apparatus continue with their lies, with their narratives that the hostility is an act of terror committed by terrorists, ignoring the fact that it is retaliation by a people whose freedom and rights to their land had been forcefully taken away from them.
15. They refuse to view the hostility is committed by freedom fighters who are up against an injustice committed by an apartheid regime which had been perpetrating genocide on the Palestinians.
16. The Western powers and the US are party to apartheid, genocide and crimes against humanity for as long as they support the heinous Israeli regime.
17. With that, any attempt towards finding a just and fair solution for the Palestinians becomes an exercise in futility.
18. In the meantime, the Israelis can be expected to carry out their genocide with impunity and with total disregard of international laws.

Fed up of the football but my message to everyone is you might feel hard done by but take a look at this kid, told he would never walk but he will. Go on Ryley 🙏🙏💙
@RobertBeaumont I do admit these two incidents were totally wrong. Shit happens to all teams throughout the seasons but I ain’t feeling sorry for Liverpool.
@Tutey_151@GaryLineker@RestIsFootball@ManUtd Dad voluntarily paid for the extended train journey as well as the match tickets. Just saying before BT Police feel my collar😜COYS.
Spurs lost but it was a privilege to be at Old Trafford. What a treasured memory 💙
The US dropped 270 million cluster bombs on Laos.
"Every eight minutes, 24 hours a day, for nine years from 1964 until 1973, a planeload of cluster bombs was dropped on Laos by American B-52s."
50 years later, civilians (and children) are still being blown up by the bombs.
You MUST listen to this.
A lady called Philipa Bateman phoned in to "BBC Any Answers" last week and talked about her experience of the lockdown and her opinion of @BorisJohnson.
WARNING ⚠️ this is POWERFUL!
Please share.
We live in the most prosperous place on earth. We are blessed beyond our wildest dreams. Never has there been a better opportunity to strive for genuine progress and hope.
We should reject wokeness and identity politics utterly.
There are rich black and brown people and poor white people. These are plain facts. Poverty doesn’t discriminate down identity lines. It discriminates down economic ones.
To pretend that people of colour, or those of different sexual orientations are in some way oppressed and only saviour liberals are able to rescue them is patronising, arrogant and untrue.
I am stoped often on the street by non white people who say thanks for not speaking about us like we somehow need your help.
Like Martin Luther King said, We must be colourblind. See the human being beneath the incidental and immutable characteristics of melanin or sexual orientation. Things none of us can change.
Let’s focus on those who struggle to put food on the table and feed their families. Economic situation we can do something about. Skin colour and sexual orientation, we can’t.
We should focus on what we can do to empower people to succeed and feel fulfilled in life. Virtue signalling about things we can’t change may make you feel better, but it also makes you part of the problem.
The future is bright. We just have to chose to live it.
