🧵 75 years ago today, the United Nations recommended partitioning #Palestine against the wishes of its majority indigenous Palestinian population for the benefit of a minority settler-colonial movement. This injustice violated Palestinians' right to self-determination. 1/
Even Dr. Ralph Bunche, who wrote the partition plan, was "not all satisfied with my scheme" but believed it was a "reasonable and workable compromise." But was it really reasonable, workable, or just?

The UN recommended giving the Zionist movement 55% of #Palestine, including most of its most fertile land, even though the Jewish population of the country was only 33% of the total and the Zionist movement had only colonized less than 7% of the land. 3/

2/ The Israel Government has not been remorseful, they continue to justify bombings, gruesome murder, torture & incarceration of Palestinians including children.

subjected to ethnic cleansing ...

📢 It's been 45 years since the UN established #PalestineDay - and Israeli authorities provide daily reminders of why we still need it. For how much longer will the world tolerate Israel's cruel #apartheid system?
Today and every day, we at Amnesty International stand with #Palestinians as they demand their rights in the face of Israel’s relentless attacks.
#EndIsraeliApartheid ✊
#EndIsraeliApartheid ✊
We call on our supporters around the world to demonstrate their solidarity by speaking out, however they can, to demand an end to Israel’s apartheid.

Thread of our most important work on Palestine—must-watch episodes for #PalestineDay: beginning with the untold history
When @AbbyMartin asked random Israelis in Jerusalem about Palestinians, she got disturbing responses:
We went inside the hotbeds of Israeli settler terrorism, and met with the survivors of the brutal Duma arson attack
For many people, it’s become increasingly difficult to express their outrage at Israel’s oppression of the Palestinian people, the continued occupation of their land and endless violation of UN resolutions.

Our people have often felt imprisoned by the context of the “debate”, and especially the viciousness of the attack on Jeremy Corbyn and those who have stood up for the Palestinians. We should understand that this is the aim: it’s about intimidation.

Many activists, old and new, have therefore shied away from talking about Palestine, even while acknowledging the centrality of that issue to their outlook, and the man-made human rights catastrophe that it is. We must not let that happen.
