Revision as of 17:56, 2 June 2023
The Palestinian genocide, also known as the Nakba[1][2][3] and wrongly called the Israeli-Palestinian conflict by the West,[4] is the ongoing systematic genocide and oppression of the Palestinians by the State of Israel. It is defined by the settler colonial project of the Israeli state known as Zionism and has pushed for the cultural destruction of the Palestinian people.[2][3][5][6] The genocide has led to the rise of Palestinian resistance groups such as Hamas and the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO).[7] Resistance to the genocide has led to Israel enacting a siege on the Gaza Strip with the goal of eliminating the Palestinian resistance from Hamas.[8]
History
First World War
See main article: First World War
During the First World War, two of the main combatants on the Middle Eastern front were the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland (UK), alongside its vast British Empire, and the Sublime Ottoman State.[9] The region of Palestine was under the rule of the Ottomans as part of Ottoman Syria prior to the outbreak of the First World War.[10] Under Ottoman rule, both Muslim Palestinians and the Jewish people recieved a level of relative equality as the Islamic Ottomans were open to sheltering Jewish communities that faced oppression by European powers, especially the French Republic.[11]
The Ottomans entered the First World War on 2 November 1914 when the Russian Empire declared war on them due to their naval activities and their close ties to the German Empire, Russia's war-time enemy.[12] Almost immediately upon Ottoman entry into the war, the British took advantage of their colonial power in Kuwait and Egypt to invade both Ottoman Iraq and Ottoman Syria. The Ottomans, which had placed their early war-time capabilities on trying to fight off the Russians in the Caucasus, failed to hold Palestine, losing the region by 1918.[13] With British control in Palestine secured, they issued the Balfour Declaration on 2 November 1917. This declaration promised the Zionists, a political movement of Jews in Europe hoping to settler colonize Palestine, all of the Palestinian territory.[14] As a result, Zionists began stepping up their activities in Palestine and officially launched their settler colonial project.[1]
Genocidal activity
Apartheid
The Israeli state uses apartheid-like segregation in order to systematically oppress the Palestinians, treating them like lesser beings and stripping them of many human rights.[15]
Ethnostatism
A large part of of the Palestinian genocide is the existence of Israel as a Jewish ethnostate. Due to this ethnostatism, the Palestinians living in land occupied by Israel are often treated as second-class citizens in their very own homes.[15]
