In 1948, 750,000 Palestinians were forcibly displaced from the area that became Israel, and 500 Palestinian villages, as well as Palestinian-inhabited urban areas, were destroyed.[19] In the aftermath of the Nakba, Palestinian land was expropriated on a large scale and Palestinian citizens of Israel were encircled in specific areas.[20] After the Israeli capture of the Golan Heights in 1967, there was a nearly complete ethnic cleansing of the area, leaving only 6,404 Syrians out of about 128,000 who had lived there before the war. They had been forced out by campaigns of intimidation and forced removal, and those who tried to return were deported. After the Israeli capture of the West Bank, about 250,000 of 850,000 inhabitants fled or were expelled.[21]
Israel started building settlements just after capturing the West Bank, East Jerusalem and Gaza Strip in the June 1967 Six-Day War. The transfer by an occupying power of its civilian population into the territory it occupies is a war crime, [22]
As of January 2023, over 450,000 Israeli settlers live in the West Bank, 220,000 Jewish settlers in East Jerusalem..over 25,000 Israeli settlers in the Golan Heights.[23]
Because of settlers present murderous religious bloodlust violence, even the United States and the UK have been forced to try to save face by introducing visa restrictions against "extremist Israeli settlers."
The number of attacks has not abated in recent years, with more than 1,400 cases recorded between 2005 and 2021, according to Yesh Din, an Israeli watchdog. More than 90% of complaints were dropped by Israeli authorities, who run law enforcement in settler areas, without charges being filed. And settlers' tactics are becoming more varied. In recent years some have uprooted olive trees during harvest, depriving many Palestinian families of a source of income.[24]
Journalists Working for U.S. Led Western Imperialism Defend Through News Management An Obvious Western Financial-industrial Capitalism's Need of Wars very often of Genocidal Confrontation and Maintenance of Deadly Injustice for All U.S. Designated Enemies Which Invariably Takes Lives of Children More Than Adults. America's most erudite economist Thorstein Veblen assumed depression to be the normal condition in a business-enterprise economy, to be relieved in periods of excitation caused by stimuli not intrinsic to the system (e.g., war, expansion abroad, etc.)[25]
In round table discussion programming Western media CIA subservient journalists of ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX, CN and PBS will never chose an humanely rational theme no matter how obvious it be for peace replacing war. Apartheid Isreal's bloody history is a prime example of sidelining rationality and compassion.
Israel has since its founding, received about $300 billion (adjusted for inflation) in total economic and military assistance.
The $300 billions of US dollars [x]Israel has spent over more than seven decades since its founding on munitions and weapons of mass destruction to kill Palestinians who keep on attacking fighting for rectification of the heartless injustice done them, could have been used to compensate Arabs made destitute refugees by the criminal seizure of their lands, homes and properties (as commanded UN General Assembly Resolution #194 Dec. 11, 1948) [26]
How very very little has this writer heard or read about the starvation Israel is causing in Gaza? Such deliberate omission is a form being an accessory of the crime of starving one's militarily sealed off captive population.
The Israeli finance ministry said it had blocked deliveries of food for Gaza because the shipments were intended to reach UNRWA, the main U.N. agency for Palestinians, citing allegations that some of its employees were affiliated with Hamas. While many nations stopped contribution to UNRA, little mention is made of the Palestinian children being cared for by UNRA for years.
