Root Causes of Palestinian Plight
The Palestinian issue has been exacerbated by the failure of Western media to accurately portray the situation, leading to public ignorance of the root causes of the violence, the occupation, and the plight of the Palestinian people. Legal determinations and reports by Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International have concluded that Israel is an apartheid state, with the occupation becoming more aggressive. The killing of Palestinian American journalist Shereen Bockla by Israel further highlights the escalating situation, with the United States failing to take meaningful action. The Jerusalem flag march saw extremist settlers chanting violent slogans with the protection of the state, exacerbating tensions. The Israeli government's plan for 13,000 settler units in 2023 marks the most in the history of the occupation, underlining the increasingly extremist nature of the government. The high number of Palestinian casualties, which often goes unnoticed in Western headlines, points to the disparity in the portrayal of events. The situation is described as a pressure cooker on the brink of explosion due to the lack of hope given to the people. It is emphasized that there is a crucial need to address the ignorance surrounding the root causes and the Palestinian plight.
