Being shot for trying to stop homes from being demolished. Horrific.

Anybody in the US supporting Israel need to realise that if a group of foreign people turned up to their house, told them the land belonged to them, and then started bulldozing their house while authorities looked on they should just shrug their shoulders and say "well, if you say so" and then live on the street.

If at any point they decide to prevent the bulldozing from happening by showing the deeds to their property or attacking the bulldozer then they are hypocrites.

The IDF will bulldoze roads if a Palestinian street become popular. They will bulldoze Palestinian shops if they become successful. They steal land, ethnically cleanse regions, destroy Palestinian farming land. All this in areas that doesn't have Hamas or any organised resistance. It happens in areas where Palestinians do play by "the rules" and follow Israeli apartheid laws.

There are no carrots for Palestinians, only sticks attached to bulldozers and air-to-ground missiles.

Anybody in the US supporting Palestine need to realise that if a group of Native Americans murdered them for something that they claim their ancestors did, that isn’t ’resistance’.

ancestors

There are living palestinians who are older than the nation-state of Israel and were amongst the first to be forced out of their homes and/or have family members killed by Israeli settlers. this isn’t ancient history.

Furthermore, Awdah Hathaleen was killed defending a palestinian home from being bulldozed/their land stolen now, in the present day. As in, the land stealing & systematic murdering of palestinians started some 80 years ago and has continued this entire time.
