Protecting Citizens From the River to the Sea
A Decades Long Occupation Witnessed by the World but Silenced by the West...
Amnesty International's "Israel's Occupation: 50 Years of Dispossession" chronicles the enduring struggle faced by Palestinians living under Israel's occupation, detailing the continuous violations of their fundamental rights. Since 1967, Palestinians have endured ruthless policies such as land seizure, illegal settlement expansions, and dispossession, resulting in profound suffering and deprivation. The occupation disrupts every facet of daily life, restricting movement, access to education, employment opportunities, and even basic resources like clean water. The organisation emphasises the expansion of illegal Israeli settlements on Palestinian land, a violation of international law, and the imposition of military closures, checkpoints, and arbitrary restrictions, further isolating Palestinian communities. The call for international action resonates throughout the report, urging governments to ban settlement products and prevent companies from operating in these occupied territories. Additionally, the lack of accountability for human rights abuses, including the absence of investigations into torture complaints, highlights the urgent need for global attention and intervention to address the ongoing crisis.

In October 2023, war erupted between Israel and Hamas. Hamas launched a surprise attack, causing casualties and taking hostages. Israel responded with a deadly operation and declared war. Both sides have exchanged rocket fire, and Israel has imposed a siege on Gaza. The conflict has led to a humanitarian crisis in Gaza, with shortages of water, fuel, and supplies. There is also a risk of the conflict spreading to Lebanon and Syria.
