Jews opposed to Zionism
In the 19th century, Theodor Herzl founded; Zionist Organization, and encouraged Jewish immigration to Palestine. The idea met with strong opposition from Jewish leaders around the world, including the Chief Rabbi of Vienna, Moritz Goodman, who rejected the idea of “Jewish nationalism,” stressing that “belief in one God is the (only) factor that brings the Jews together,” stressing that “Zionism contradicts the teachings of Judaism." The American Reform rabbis declared: “We do not consider ourselves a nation, but rather a religious community, and therefore we do not expect a return to Palestine, nor to a Jewish state.”

It is a Haredi Jewish movement that rejects Zionism and opposes the existence of the State of Israel. They are located in Jerusalem, London and New York. The group participates in events and demonstrations alongside the Palestinians, and calls for a peaceful solution to the conflict and an end to Zionist policies through the "peaceful dismantling of the State of Israel."

Writers who opposed Zionism
The book "Wrestling with Zionism" by Daphina Levit
The author, is an Israeli who currently lives in Canada. She served in the Israeli army. She realized that the Israeli version of events contradicts the logic of history, and saw first-hand the daily mistreatment of Palestinians in the occupied territories. I watched Palestinian refugees trying to flee across the border.
The book, published in 2020, presents the positions and transformations of 21 Jewish thinkers, including scholars, researchers, journalists, and activists who opposed Zionism since its inception politically and religiously, including Albert Einstein, Martin Buber, Hannah Arendt, Noam Chomsky, and Israeli opponents such as Yeshayahu Leibovich, Zeev Sternhell, and Shlomo Sand, Ilan Pappe and others.
Levit was active in the "Gush Shalom" (Peace Bloc) movement, (an organization active to end the occupation), Physicians for Human Rights, the Israeli Committee Against House Demolitions, and others. She co-authored a previous book on the Middle East entitled “Israeli Rejection: A Hidden Agenda in the Middle East Peace Process” (2011).
The book “Israel and the Arabs” by the French writer Maxime Rodinson. He refutes Zionist claims, predicting their inevitable failure.
The book “Zionism and Israel” by French author Natan Weinstock refutes Zionism’s claims that claim the existence of spiritual forces linking Jews to Zionism and shows how Zionism emerged to recruit the world’s Jews in the service of global colonialism.
Zionism was also opposed by religious Jews and assimilationist Jews, namely the Jews of Western Europe, France, Britain, Germany, and then the Jews of the United States of America, with the exception of the settler Jews of Israel.

Causes of the Palestinian uprisings
The Palestinian people did not accept what happened to them after the 1948 war, especially displacement, forced displacement, insults, and ongoing violence. There is discrimination regarding wages, as for the same work, the Palestinian receives a wage twice less than his Israeli counterpart, and the Palestinian worker can be fired without paying his wage. Palestinians are required to obtain movement permits, which are difficult to obtain, in addition to daily inspections of their homes.
Israel occupied Jerusalem in 1967 and then legalized entry to Islamic places of worship. A number of lands were also seized to build settlements on.
Depriving Palestinians of the right to vote and the right to choose who represents them. They have no power over the government that controls their living conditions.
Israel's failure to implement many aspects that were agreed upon in Oslo or subsequent agreements. It has become clear that Israel is trying, with the support of the United States, to impose a solution on the Palestinians away from international legitimacy resolutions.
Israel continues its policy of assassinations, arrests, and invasions of Palestinian Authority areas and refuses to release Palestinian prisoners. In addition to the continued construction of settlements, the exclusion of the return of refugees, and the exclusion of withdrawal to the June 1967 borders.
The first Palestinian intifada
The intifada was a spontaneous, popular Palestinian protest against the miserable general situation in the camps, the spread of unemployment, and the daily oppression practiced by the Israeli occupation authorities against the Palestinians. The intifada began on December 8, 1987, in the Gaza Strip. Then it moved to all the cities, villages and camps of Palestine. It stopped permanently with the signing of the Oslo Accords between Israel and the Palestine Liberation Organization in 1993. Stones were the tool of attack and defense used by the resistance fighters against members of the Israeli army.
The intifada began after an Israeli truck ran over a car carrying Palestinian workers parked at a gas station, killing four people and wounding others. The next day, during the funeral of the victims, a spontaneous protest broke out, during which crowds threw stones at an Israeli army position, and soldiers opened fire on the crowds.
The second Palestinian intifada
Or the Al-Aqsa Intifada, which broke out on September 28, 2000 and actually stopped on February 8, 2005 after the armistice agreement. This intifada was characterized by armed confrontations between the Palestinian resistance and the Israeli army. The spark of its outbreak was the entry of the Israeli opposition leader at the time, Ariel Sharon, into the courtyard of Al-Aqsa Mosque, accompanied by his guards, which prompted crowds of worshipers to try to confront him, and violence broke out in this uprising.
The Third Palestinian Intifada
The Jerusalem Intifada, or the Knives Intifada, is a wave of protests that took place in the West Bank, Gaza Strip, and Israel from the beginning of October 2015 until 2016.
It began after settlers burned the Dawabsha family home on July 31, 2015. This led to an increase in acts of resistance against Israelis. In addition to the strike of Palestinian prisoners in Israeli prisons, and the Israeli war launched on the Gaza Strip that killed more than 2,100 Palestinian martyrs. Likewise, the Israeli Minister of Defense decided to ban flag stands in Al-Aqsa Mosque. Then the Israeli Minister of Agriculture stormed Al-Aqsa Mosque, accompanied by 40 Israelis and special units, along with dozens of youth from the (ruling) Likud Party.
The right-wing Netanyahu government continued to expand construction in West Bank settlements and did not respond to returning to negotiations. As well as the despair of the Palestinians regarding the political, economic and social situation.
The Al-Aqsa Flood military operation on (October 7, 2023 AD) is considered an extension of the Third Intifada and a response to the Israeli violations in the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque and the Israeli settlers’ assault on Palestinian citizens in Jerusalem, the West Bank, and the occupied interior.

Western media exposes their institutions...inhuman bias towards the crimes of the Zionists
The American Mondoweiss website published a report in which it talked about how the American media distorts the reality of what is happening in the Gaza Strip and the rest of the occupied Palestinian territories and is intentionally blind to all the violations and unspeakable crimes committed by the Israeli occupation forces against the Palestinians, using a language and a unilateral approach that suppresses and silences any voice. On the part of the Palestinians or their sympathizers to explain what is actually happening, and is satisfied only with the narration of the Zionist entity and its followers.
The website explained that the goal of the Western media is to influence the public’s understanding, keep them on the dark side, and divert them from the truth, noting that the descriptions and names used by American media professionals all fall within the framework of this goal.
Regarding the reality of what is happening now after the Al-Aqsa Flood operation, the site pointed out that this crisis did not begin on October 7th, as “Israel” occupied the West Bank, Palestine, and the Gaza Strip for about 60 years, and during that period it arrested and imprisoned hundreds of thousands of Palestinians. Often even without show trials.
750 journalists from dozens of news organizations, including Reuters and the Washington Post, signed an open letter criticizing Western media’s bias toward the Zionist entity in covering the Gaza war, according to what was reported by the American newspaper “The Washington Post.”
The letter said that newsrooms are responsible for inhumane rhetoric that justifies the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians.
“Scientific American” magazine published an editorial in which it stated, “As health care workers, we stand in solidarity with Palestine,” as the usurping enemy deliberately prevented patients from the Gaza Strip from entering hospitals in the occupied West Bank and the occupied interior for treatment, after targeting thousands of innocent citizens, their homes, and towers. Residential, infrastructure, health and educational institutions, water and electricity lines, and sewage extensions.
It presented in detail the Israeli atrocities following the Zionist aggression on the besieged Gaza Strip, and the magazine pledged to provide support for the Boycott of the Zionist Entity (BDS) movement, which the Zionists and their supporters consider a strategic threat to the illegal Israeli presence in Palestine.
Accordingly, a group affiliated with the Zionist lobby in the United States quickly put pressure on the magazine’s management, and published false accusations about it, to withdraw its support for Palestine and its people.
Earlier, The Lancet magazine was forced to delete an article warning of the outbreak of the new Corona virus in the besieged Gaza Strip, and how the policy of the criminal enemy led to the exacerbation of the epidemic in the region.
Scientific American magazine deleted an article calling for solidarity with the Palestinian people from its website after tremendous pressure from the Zionist lobby in the United States.

‘Like lying in a coffin’: Australians in Gaza describe utter annihilation

In two decades at the United Nations children’s fund, Australian James Elder has visited Sudan and Somalia, Ukraine and Mozambique. He’s seen war and famine. Never has he seen anything like the horror in Gaza. “What makes this different is the scale, the ferocity, the ubiquitousness of it,” says Elder, speaking from the southern city of Rafah after a week travelling throughout the strip. “Every time I turn around, there is another horrendous, heartbreaking story.

How did the Zionist media distort and falsify the facts?
Since the declaration of the occupying state in Palestine, the Zionist media has worked to distort facts, highlight certain concepts, export them to the world, and spread their various myths and theses, such as: “The Promised Land,” “God’s Chosen People,” and “The Myth of a Land Without People for People Without Land.” To justify their usurped policy of ethnic cleansing and genocide of Palestinians.
Before 1948, the Zionist movement established a radio station directed at Jews, and printed 14 newspapers, including 4 in Arabic. The Zionist entity exploited television, radio, and newspapers for psychological propaganda campaigns that affected the morale of the Arab peoples. This is considered psychological warfare and a type of programmed hostile attack, which aims to influence the minds, psychology, and beliefs of individuals, by stirring up false rumors and sedition, with the aim of instilling fear, tearing apart societies, and undermining people’s confidence in their armies and questioning their capabilities.
The method of repetition and distortion of facts was used in order to highlight certain concepts and export them to the world. Such as focusing on the lie that “Palestine is the homeland of the Jews,” then moving on to talk about the Zionist colonial entity being a “peaceful state.” The Israeli occupation army was named the "Israeli Defense Army." Changing the names of Palestinian cities and regions to Israeli names, for example, the Buraq Wall becomes the Wailing Wall, and Mount Jerusalem becomes the Temple Mount, and so on...
The Zionist media used some influential Arab figures who hold an Israeli passport and publish content that is popular with the masses, such as travel or other things. In order to promote it and use different terms such as: peaceful coexistence, that Israel is a state of peace and that it wants all Islamic, Christian and Jewish religions to live together in peace.
The goals of the Zionist entity's media are to strengthen the Jews and terrorize and intimidate the Arabs in general, and the Palestinians in particular. As well as propaganda to promote the Zionist idea and the strength of the Israeli entity.
Israel has made every effort to attract Palestinian and Arab followers to its media screens, broadcasts, and newspapers. The Mossad succeeded in bringing down many people and getting them to work for it. As for the Israeli satellite channel in Arabic, it was established at the beginning of 2001, and its primary goal is to deliver false daily messages to Arabs about life in the Zionist entity, and to hide its aggressive policy with camouflage and deception. This is in addition to another satellite channel, I24. In addition to the electronic press and social media that publish reports biased towards the Israeli story.
Israel sought by all means to cover up its crimes against the Palestinians, by keeping the media away from the systematic oppression of the Palestinians. But it witnessed more cruelty in the years when there were popular revolutions and Palestinian national uprisings. During all of these events, the occupation targeted the media with violent methods, and even killed many journalists, injuring dozens of them, causing them permanent disabilities, in addition to destroying television headquarters for allegedly inciting violence.

Why has America supported Israel unlimitedly for 70 years?
The percentage of support for Israel among Americans is higher than the percentage of Americans’ support for President Joe Biden, as the percentage of support for him and his policies reached 53% compared to 43% opposition, according to a poll conducted by CNN last April.
Some commentators believe that comprehensive support harms American interests at a time when Israel does not care about Washington's interests.
Some cite what Israel did against the United States, such as the destruction of the destroyer Liberty in the 1960s, the leaking of American military and technological secrets to China, in addition to spying on the American army itself on several occasions, and its refusal to reach Washington’s efforts for peace in the Middle East, which harms interests. American.
In the latest opinion poll conducted by Gallup, 85% of Republicans viewed Israel favorably, compared to 77% among independents and 64% among Democrats.
71% of those who attend religious services expressed their support for Israel, while the percentage among those who do not participate in services was only 49%.
Only 34% of Americans supported the need to exert more pressure on the Israelis, with more than three-quarters of Americans believing that Palestinian-Israeli peace is somewhat or very important to the United States.
80% of Republicans sympathize with the Israelis more than the Palestinians, a strong majority wants the United States to put more pressure on the Palestinians in negotiations, and less than half favor the establishment of a Palestinian state.
66% of Democrats view Israel favorably, but two-thirds also support the establishment of a Palestinian state, and less than half sympathize more with Israel in the conflict.
American presidents reiterate in their meetings with American Jewish leaders that they will not impose a solution to the conflict, on the Israelis or the Palestinians, and only stress that their role is to present broad lines for negotiation between the two parties.
Many evangelical groups believe in the necessity of accelerating Israel's complete control over all of the Holy Land of Palestine, believing that this will accelerate the second return of Christ.
Despite the strength of support for Israel among the public and politicians in the United States, some important voices have opposed Israel over the past few years. Like Senator Bernie Sanders and Senator Elizabeth Warren, they opposed Israeli violence and demanded that Israeli attacks stop immediately. More than 25 House members joined Sanders and Warren's calls.
Sanders called for the need for America to stand with "the rights of the Palestinians" just as it supports Israel's right to defend itself. America must adopt a fairer policy between the two sides of the conflict.

What are the reasons that prompted Hamas to launch its attack on Israel?
The Palestinian conflict with the Israeli occupation is a conflict of existence, not a conflict of borders. The Zionist state (Israel) began in 1948 with their occupation of Palestine. Therefore, the attack launched by Hamas on Israel on October 7 was the result of decades of tension between Israelis and Palestinians. The reasons for the Hamas attack include the following:
About 80 percent of Gaza's population depends on international aid, and about one million people depend on daily food aid. This means that their daily lives there are difficult, as in 2021, power was only available to Gaza residents for 13 hours a day. The World Health Organization says that a person needs 100 liters of water daily, while the average consumption in Gaza is about 88 liters.
Israel controls the airspace over Gaza, and imposes restrictions on goods allowed to enter and exit through its border crossings.
In 2014, Israel announced a buffer zone around Gaza, reducing the amount of land available for people to live and farm.
Israel provokes the Palestinians by making changes to Al-Aqsa Mosque.
Since Israel occupied the Palestinian territories after the 1967 war, the number of Jewish settlements has continued to rise. The United Nations considers the settlements illegal under international law.
There has been a significant rise in violence carried out by extremist Israeli settlers against Palestinian civilians in the occupied West Bank, with more than 100 incidents reported per month according to the United Nations.
Israel signed peace treaties with Egypt and Jordan that paved the way for similar deals with the United Arab Emirates. Saudi Arabia is close to normalizing relations with Israel. But the normalization agreements with Israel did not provide a solution to the suffering of the Palestinians and the conflict.

On 12/25/2023
The Israeli newspaper Israel Hayom said that Prime Minister Netanyahu is working to "achieve the voluntary displacement of the residents of the Gaza Strip to other countries." The Canadian Minister of Immigration spoke about these matters publicly, as did Nikki Haley, a potential candidate for the US presidency.”
And on 2/11/2024
The Israeli Prime Minister said that he issued instructions to the Israeli army to plan to evacuate hundreds of thousands of Rafah residents before the expected ground invasion of the city, which has become the last refuge for hundreds of thousands of displaced Palestinians who were displaced by Israel from many areas of Gaza.
On 20-Mar-24
The Hebrew channel "Kan" said that Netanyahu presented a proposal at a special meeting of the Foreign Affairs and Security Committee in the Knesset. The newspaper quoted Netanyahu as saying that the “new port” built by the United States On the coast of Gaza could facilitate the removal of the Palestinians from Gaza.

Displacement of Palestinians
In 1948, Zionist gangs committed massacres against Palestinian villages, for the purpose of intimidating the Palestinians and pushing them to leave their lands. The Deir Yassin massacre is a model for the displacement of Palestinians. Israel continued to displace Palestinians until the mid-1950s.
The number of Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza reached 5.48 million people, or approximately 38% of the 14.5 million Palestinians around the world, which means that 62% of the Palestinians live outside their lands.
The Palestinians took refuge in various countries of the world. Today, Jordan is home to more than four million naturalized Palestinians and refugees.
The displacement continued between 1948 and 1967. After that, Israel did not stop practicing coercive policies that included economic restrictions, home demolitions, land control, movement restrictions, and arrests. Together, these policies pushed many Palestinians, especially young people, to search for opportunities abroad.
The displacement, which represents a dream of Israel, has been brought up again with the development of the war in Gaza. Therefore, the Israeli bombing took an unusual pace, and its ferocity and intensity prompted questions about its goals, and whether it went beyond the idea of a military response beyond that. These questions were reinforced by Israeli statements that confirmed that it wanted to completely eliminate the Hamas movement in Gaza, and announced since the beginning of the ground operation its explicit call for the people of northern Gaza to emigrate south. In addition to the siege that caused the starvation and death of many.
Displacing Palestinians from Gaza towards Sinai is the most ideal option for the occupation, but Egypt rejects it, just as Jordan rejects displacement.
The privacy of Gaza and its society
The Gaza Strip includes approximately 2.2 million Palestinians. The psychological and mental state possessed by the people of the Gaza Strip, in addition to the very strong connection between their social structure and the resistance movements, has made Israel face difficult and complex circumstances in the face of its project of displacement, to which it finds no solution other than continuing the massacres, and continuing to pressure the world and the region to accept its project, and it is the one that it could take the entire area to explode.

Russia and China use their veto power in the UN Security Council against a draft US resolution on the war in Gaza.
The American draft resolution on the situation in Gaza did not include a call for a ceasefire. Russia's permanent representative to the United Nations explained that "the American project that was proposed encourages Israel to wage a ground war that would expand the conflict throughout the region." And that "the Americans ignored all the observations that were presented to them, as this text does not call for a ceasefire and non-attack on civilians and their property in Gaza. That is, it is a document that does not aim to spare the blood of civilians, but rather to grant Israel the right to launch a ground attack." Stressing that "the Council may not adopt this resolution because it gives Israel a license to kill."
He continued that he would support the Jordanian draft resolution submitted to the General Assembly to compensate for the Security Council's inability to adopt a resolution calling for a ceasefire.
China's representative to the United Nations said that his country "opposed the decision after consulting with several countries, including Arab countries."
The Chinese delegate stated that the American project “divides the international community because it did not take into account the concerns of countries. Rather, it is biased and was presented in haste, and it did not achieve the necessary consensus by calling for a ceasefire, so it is not suitable for adoption.”
He also clarified that “the resolution does not condemn the indiscriminate bombing, does not call for an investigation into the crime of the Ahli Baptist Hospital, does not put an end to an imminent humanitarian catastrophe, and does not demand the lifting of the siege on Gaza.”
He stressed that "China would like the Council to bear its responsibility to stop the fighting in an unequivocal manner."
A week ago, the United States of America voted in the UN Security Council against Brazil's proposal, which calls for canceling the Israeli order to displace the population of the Gaza Strip towards the Egyptian Sinai desert, using the right of veto.
Before that, the United States thwarted, by vetoing, an Algerian draft resolution in the UN Security Council demanding an immediate ceasefire for humanitarian reasons in the Gaza Strip.

The framing of the Washington Post article on Biden and the war in Gaza is bizarre:

This article, based on interviews with 20 administration officials and outside advisers, examines how Biden, more than five months after the Oct. 7 attacks, has found himself deeply entangled in a war he does not want [bold mine-DL] and that threatens to become a defining element of his tenure.

American reporters often describe U.S. involvement in foreign conflicts in this way, and it is deeply misleading. The suggestion is that the president did not wish to be so involved in this war, but was somehow pulled in against his will. That’s not true. The president has not “found himself deeply entangled” in the war in Gaza. He jumped headlong into backing the campaign without any conditions.

Haaretz newspaper reported that the Israeli army began investigating dozens of incidents that took place during the war with Hamas in the Gaza Strip, which included practices that occurred due to “commanders on the ground exceeding their powers,” or “on suspicion of violating international laws of war.” Some of them reached findings of serious cases causing harm to individuals and property.
