The Israel that I meet every day is made up of people who want to forge a path towards peace and security for all

Since the beginning of the war, I’ve met Arab-Jewish civil society organisations that exemplify this spirit, providing assistance across diverse communities.

    This would be a nice story apart from the fact there was never a palestinian country. I don’t know how you can want a country back if you never had one.

      Even if there wasn’t, Israel was created by jews that came from all over the world where a lot of people was already living on it, while current palestinian are decendents of pre-israel population

      That’s just semantics though.

      People lived there, they had houses and fields and orchards and olive plantations and businesses, they lived normal, free lives with their friends and families.

      All that has been taken away from them. I don’t care if you call it “owning a country” or not, the reality is that their lands and livelihoods were stolen using violence.

      The word palestine just spawned from the ether, not relating to anywhere or anyone.
