October 2023 was the continuation of Israeli atrocities on Palestinians

NAKBA Day, a day of commemoration that refers to The NAKBA (English: the Catastrophe) against the Palestinians, held on 15 May each year, serves as a reminder that the conflict between Palestinians and Israelis didn’t start on 7 October 2023.

In fact, the NAKBA started when the Irgun and Haganah gangs (that became the IDF) attacked Deir Yassin on 9 April 1948, more than a month before Israel was established on 14 May 1948.

The Jewish soldiers, wanting to expel the Palestinians, surprised the villagers of Deir Yassin with machine-gun fire. Many of the women were raped and then killed, while some of the men were killed outright. Significantly, thirty babies were also killed. The survivors would flee, leaving their homes to be pillaged by the Jewish soldiers.

After that, the nearby villages of Qalunya, Saris, Beit Surik and Biddu suffered the same fate. The residents of other villages would hear about this and also flee, even leaving food on the table. This made it easy for Israel to justify taking over the property, arguing that it was “abandoned”.

Haifa wasn’t spared either. According to the grossly unfair UN “peace proposal”, the port city was promised to the Jews, ignoring the Palestinians living there for generations. Heavy Jewish shelling pressured the Palestinian elite to flee to Lebanon and Egypt, and then the British under Commander Stockwell, refused to provide protection to the Palestinians who stayed.
