A Zionist is a person who wants an independent Jewish state. To many people of the Jewish faith, Israel is considered 'the promised land'. But many non-religious Jews, too, value the fact that there is a country where Jews can live independently, away from a Palestinian State. The term Zionism was founded in 1885.

However, not all Israelis are settlers who believe in the occupation of Palestine. There are many people of the Jewish faith, both living in Israel and other parts of the world, who are in favor of a Palestinian state.

The Palestinian occupation is not a Muslim/Jewish issue. It is an issue of basic human rights and giving the Palestinian people the right to live freely.

The Palestinian people have been dehumanized, degraded, and brought down for over 75 years. It’s time to change that.

The word ‘Nakba’ means catastrophe in Arabic.

The 1948 Nakba is in reference to the forced expulsion of over 700,000 Palestinians from their homes by Zionist militias in 1948, in the part of Palestine that became occupied by Israel.

Many of those Palestinians resettled in other parts of Palestine at the time, while others were forcefully placed into refugee camps.

First thing first: We do not hold people of the Jewish faith responsible for the decisions of the Israeli leaders. A freed Palestine does not equal antisemitism.

It is important to note that the occupation of Palestine is not a conflict between two equal sides. It is an occupation by a powerful military state, armed and supported by the West, against an impoverished, stateless, and displaced people.

Palestine has been under restriction by the Israeli government and Zionists for over 75 years, and they have a right to freedom just as any other nation does.

This does not equate to the eradication of a Jewish state or of the Jewish people, but the human rights of Palestinians.
