77 years since the first military conflict between Israel-Palestine in 1948, after the United Nations adopted Resolution 181, known as the Partition Plan the year prior, which sought to divide the British Mandate of Palestine into Arab and Jewish states. For Palestinians, this was the beginning of the nakba or “catastrophe” leading to land dispossession and forced displacement.
7 October, 2023 when Hamas’ military wing – the Qassam Brigades - committed war crimes, killing 1,195 people, nearly 70% who were civilians. 251 Israeli security force personnel and civilians were taken hostage back to Gaza.
70, the percentage of women and children of the nearly 70,000 Palestinians presumed dead due to Israeli war crimes through bombings, raids, and starvation tactics in the West Bank and Gaza since 7 October until today.
