There are over 4.3 million registered #Palestinian #refugees. The #IsraeliGovernment must #EndtheOccupation and its system of forced displacement of Palestinians. We call upon the international community to support @UNRWA and safeguard Palestinian refugee rights #WorldRefugeeDay⠀ ⠀ #HumanRights #Palestine #Israel #WestBank #Gaza #InternationalLaw #ThursdayThoughts
Today marks 52 years since #Israel occupied the #WestBank and #Gaza. Occupation dehumanises everyone, on both sides. We do not believe that #peace is possible, so long as it continues. #EndtheOccupation (Image taken in Hebron, West Bank, 2012) #Palestine #Israel #Occupation #Hebron #Jerusalem #MiddleEast #IsraelDefenceForce #InternationalLaw #HumanRights #ThursdayThoughts #Thursday #HumansofPalestine #HumansofIsrael

An Israeli soldier sends a #Muslim #Palestinian away at Qalandia checkpoint, preventing him from entering #Jerusalem to pray during #Ramadan "Everyone has the right to freedom of thought, belief and religion; this right includes freedom to... manifest his religion or belief, in worship, teaching practice and observance" - UN declaration of #HumanRights, Article 9. #FreedomOfReligion #FreedomOfMovement #FreedomOfWorship #Palestine #Israel #Islam #prayer #worship #HumanitarianLaw #humanrights #humanrightsviolations #Israeliarmy #IsraelDefenceForce

Today, we remember the families displaced in the Nakba or 'catastrophe', with this #eyewitness blog from Maalul village... "Jad Saba Yosef Salem... described how, at first, Israel expanded little by little and everyone felt safe. Later, tensions began to increase and his cousin was killed on a bus. When a local woman was shot dead in the door of her village home, everyone felt it was too dangerous to stay. Some were left to guard properties but the rest fled in different directions. His parents moved about five kilometeres away and wanted him to go to Lebanon but he stayed with them. Others sought refuge in a nearby convent or went to Jordan, Kuwait, the USA and even Chile. Five-hundred and thirty villages suffered a similar fate and this event is called the Nakba, which means catastrophe. Over 700,000 Palestinians became refugees and there are still fifty-nine refugee camps in Palestine and surrounding countries. 15th May commemorates Nakba Day."
