@@user-oz7hu3sb8l What don't you understand about the land of Palestine being stolen by Europeans as just another settler colonial project they named Israel? The UN illegally handed over Palestine to Europeans in 1948! Israel banned DNA testing because they've always known that they are Khazars aka Ashkenazis or European Jews. They've always known that Palestinians are the rightful owners and DNA proved this!

Imagine Mexico setting up checkpoints in Texas to take away people's guns. There would be an all out war. And you wonder why Hamas is called a Resistance Force...

To think the Palestinians have and endured this for years and still ongoing

[@rosemarytony635]

We failed the Palestinians for so long. Not intentionally. Only because the whole world felt sorry for the Israelis and what they had to endure during the holocaust. Israel, instead of learning empathy and compassion, hardened their hearts and has continued to play the 'victim' card, venting all their bitterness, hatred and inhumanity on the innocent Palestinians. October 7 was the trigger that changed things. The world has woken up. Values of truth , justice and fairness are universal and are inscribed into our very DNA by our Creator, God. Because He is the Truth. He is Just. He is Righteous. Let's continue to fight the good fight for truth, justice and freedom for the Palestinians in any way we can. With love, peace and non-violence.

Being questioned by Israeli soliders about my then fiance - a palestinian muslim, who i was sat with in a park in Jerusalem on a sunny afternoon - if i was going to marry him, why, just generally being ars*holes. I put more trust in my British passport at that time than i should have, i wasnt very coopertative and very indignant! Airport departures were always eventful - where have you been staying? Named an Arab village and that was it!! Whisked away, stripped searched (to my underwear) questioned. I knew even so I had it easy. And yet despite everything I knew wanted to live in the village or East Jerusalem where they had previously lived. I felt like I belonged.
