You don't need to know much about me; this is not an introduction but an acknowledgment of the truth about the ongoing conflict. From the 'Jerusalem massacre' in 1937 to the Gaza events of 2024 (which I refer to as a genocide), the situation has been dire. Francesca Albanese, speaking at a Geneva press conference on March 27, 2024, asserted, ''Israel has committed three acts of genocide with a requisite intent: killing members of the group, causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group, and deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part.”

For 87 years, Palestine has endured war crimes, widespread starvation, and the tragic deaths of innocent boys and girls on its streets, their bones left to waste. Political movements like Zionism, driven by nationalist and colonial ideologies, have further complicated the situation.
Imagine a place without military forces on land or sea, where the majority of the population lives on an average of $384 per month USD per capita, according to worlddata.info. Contrast this with Israel, a military superpower ranked 17th out of 145 countries on the Global Firepower Index, supported by over $3.5 billion in military aid from the United States.
