The Israeli occupation of Palestinians has been an ongoing battle for more than 50 years- but no one seems to care enough about it. After being expelled from most of central Europe, Jews migrated to Palestine, claiming it as their homeland. Palestinians have been and continue to be kicked out of their houses, raped, and killed.

This source informs about Israel's cruel and unjust rule being part of everyday life for innocent Palestinians. It explained that not only does Israel take their land and resources illegally, but governments globally let these goods go into their markets, allowing illegal settlements to thrive. The emphasis on these illegal settlements shows that it's not enough to feel sorry- we have to stop the cycle of violations Palestinians go through under Israeli occupation. Although the site doesn't show explicit bias, it includes quotes from only Palestinian people. This source does a good job of educating people on how Israeli settlements profit off of Palestinian property and resources.

Israel's policy of constructing and expanding illegal settlements on occupied Palestinian land is one of the main driving forces behind the mass human rights violations resulting from the occupation. Over the past 50 years, Israel has demolished tens of thousands of Palestinian properties and displaced large swathes of the population to build homes and infrastructure to illegally settle its own population in the occupied territories. It has also diverted Palestinian natural resources such as water and agricultural land for settlement use.

The very existence of settlements in the Occupied Palestinian Territories violates international humanitarian law and is a war crime. Despite multiple UN resolutions, Israel has continued to appropriate Palestinian land and support at least 600,000 settlers living in the occupied West Bank, including East Jerusalem. Until 2005, more than 9,000 Israeli settlers were illegally residing in Gaza.

In recent months, Israel has accelerated settlement expansion. The government has announced plans for thousands of new homes in existing settlements, as well as the establishment of two new settlements in the occupied West Bank.

As well as illegally building settlement homes and infrastructure on Palestinian land, Israeli and international businesses in settlements have established a thriving economy to sustain their presence and expansion. This "settlement enterprise" relies on unlawfully appropriated Palestinian resources, including land, water and minerals, to produce goods that are exported and sold for private profit. Hundreds of millions of dollars' worth of settlement goods are exported internationally each year.
We want governments to stop enabling the economy that keeps these illegal settlements growing and fuels the suffering of Palestinians: and you can help. Call on your government now to ban Israeli settlement goods from entering your markets, and to stop companies based in your country operating in settlements or trading in their goods - and help put an end to the cycle of violations suffered by Palestinians living under Israel's occupation.

Deepening my understanding of the Israeli occupation of Palestinian people, resources, and land, has strengthened my belief that this is an issue that can no longer be ignored. The United States, as well as other wealthy countries worldwide, have supported other oppressed nations before. When it comes to eastern third-world countries, however, the West looks the other way- neglecting the part of humanity that needs us the most. A solution mentioned in source #1 was to boycott Israeli-made products to protest in solidarity with the Palestinian people. While it is certainly something we can do, I don't believe this shows the full extent to which our wealthy nation can help those in need. It's time to pressure our government to do something about these injustices. Writing to representatives, signing petitions, and spreading awareness are all minuscule ways in which we can use our voices for the greater good. We need to hold our leaders responsible for the racial, religious, cultural, and societal biases that keep us from helping specific oppressed people- typically in the middle east.
