The literacy rate in Palestine before this war started in October 2023 was 97.3%. Despite the occupation, we succeeded in educating ourselves and so you will find Palestinians everywhere occupying prominent positions globally. For example, since the establishment of NASA, 25 Palestinians were hired by them and most of them hold prominent positions. But in the media we are portrayed as anarchists and terrorist who are killing Jewish civilians. One of the main goals of this war is to destroy the education system to limit our options in life.
the UK issued the notorious Balfour declaration in 1917 (announcing support of a “national home for the Jewish people” in Palestine), gifting our historical homeland to the Khazarian Jews. we are the indigenous people, the Semites, so how can we be labelled anti-Semite?
Out of 88 vetoes that have been used by the Americans, 56 were used against the Palestinians to shield Israel. During the 694 days of the brutal televised genocide in Palestine, the USA has used the veto five times to block any attempt to stop the genocide (bombings and famine).
