There is no Palestine-Israel conflict, only illegal occupation of Palestinian lands
It is dangerous to view the ongoing attacks as a mere “conflict”. History would teach us that the ongoing brutal crimes against the Palestinian people are because of the illegal occupation of their lands, ethnic cleansing of their people, and annexation of their territories by Israel state forces.
End the Nakba now
Since 1948, the people of Palestine have lost more than 85% of their land to Israel. The militarisation of the Israeli state has now confined them to a series of open-air prisons, in which the Israeli state routinely rehearses its cruel technologies of war — poisoning the soil, contaminating the water, and terrorising the people.

All that I owe (to the 70 years of the Palestinian struggle to return)*
To say that Palestine is in a “state of war” or “at war” is to obscure the fact that it has been occupied. The occupation of Palestine by Israel since 1948 is a state of war that breeds resistance.

No More Charades, Please!
Obama, Mitchell and the Palestinians The cowardice of our presidents and of our Congress keeps Israel in the driver’s seat so far as continuing the occupation.
