Gaza is not a prison it is a Concentration Camp - a prison is where
prisoners go, the men women and children of Palestine committed no
crime.
From The River To The Sea
The popular pro-Palestine chants "Free Palestine and "From The River To The Sea" are not chant to destroy Israel, they are pleas for respect for universal human rights and the rule of fair and just laws. All Israelis and Palestinians must be free to live in peace and security....

“Israeli forces are increasingly and
brazenly killing Palestinian children throughout the West Bank,” said
Ayed Abu Eqtaish, accountability program director at DCIP. “At this
moment, there is absolutely no check on Israeli aggression as the
international community enables war crimes through the provision of
weapons and financial and diplomatic support to ensure Israeli forces
and officers enjoy impunity regardless of the gravity of crimes.”
"Under international law, intentional
lethal force is only justified in circumstances where a direct threat to
life or of serious injury is present. However, investigations and
evidence collected by DCIP regularly suggest that Israeli forces use
lethal force against Palestinian children in circumstances that may
amount to extrajudicial or wilful killings."

I’m a
Palestinian citizen of Israel. Right now, that’s as complex as you could possibly
imagine
Maria Rashed
Let’s be clear: one can support Palestinians’ right to
resist and end the occupation without supporting Hamas
"One thing that unites
Palestinians is that our journey is never easy or smooth. To be a Palestinian
citizen in Israel is exceptionally
challenging – especially at the moment, when people expect you to take a clear,
one-sided stance. I am forced to constantly question where I truly belong,
feeling nowhere and everywhere simultaneously.
I was born and raised in
Nazareth in a Christian family. Later, I moved to Tel Aviv, living in a diverse
community with Arabs and Jews. Although I was born in Israel, I struggle to
identify fully with a country that views me as a second-class citizen, publicly
speaks against Arabs, oppresses Palestinians – and the list goes
on."

America:
Live Up to Your Own Principles When Dealing with Palestine
I admire the stated principles of
the United States of America. I want it to live up to them.

"While Palestinians, like all
people under occupation, have an internationally legitimate right to resist their
occupiers, the atrocities, whether by Palestinian fighters or others, are
wrong, and they need to be called out and condemned. I add my voice without
reservation in condemning war crimes against civilians. All humans are
created in God’s image, and we are called by our maker to preserve life, not to
end it.
Fairness and equality,
however, require that everyone who has demanded the condemnation of acts by
nonstate actors like Hamas must also be willing to demand the same from state
actors.
Hamas committed war crimes, according to Amnesty
International Secretary-General Agnès Callamard. But experts say that Israel’s
blockade of Gaza and ordered evacuation violate international law as well. “Collective
punishment is a war crime. Israel is doing that by cutting electricity, water,
food, blocking aid from entering the Gaza Strip,” said Human Rights Watch’s
Omar Shakir."
