Fifty years after Israel occupied the West Bank and Gaza Strip, it controls these areas through repression, institutionalized discrimination, and systematic abuses of the Palestinian population ’ s rights. At least five categories of major violations of international human rights law and humanitarian law
Unlawful Killings & War Crimes
Illegal Settlements Israeli authorities have since 1967 facilitated the transfer of its civilians to the occupied West Bank, including East Jerusalem. By 2017, Israel had established 237 settlements there, housing approximately 580,000 settlers.
Forced Displacement Israeli authorities have expropriated thousands of acres of Palestinian land for settlements and their supporting infrastructure. Discriminatory burdens, have effectively forced Palestinians to leave their homes or to build at the risk of seeing their “unauthorized” structures bulldozed.
Gaza Closure, Unjustified Movement Restrictions in West Bank For the last 25 years, Israel has tightened restrictions on the movement of people and goods to and from the Gaza Strip
Abusive Detention Israeli authorities have incarcerated hundreds of thousands of Palestinians since 1967, the majority after trials in military courts, which have a near-100 percent conviction rate.
Why we should care Brotherhood: Those affected by these crises are Muslims. The Umma is like a body and if any part of it is in pain, the whole body feels it. The situation of the Umma at the moment is described below: --- No happiness but cries and pain --- Many children are now dying or being orphaned --- Many husbands, fathers, mothers, wives have lost their lives ---- Many more are still missing ... Islamophobia: while the phobia of non Muslims may be understood, more Muslims now do not also want to identify with Islam Refugee to non Muslims: many Muslims who are refugees or IDPs are now leaving their faith either willingly or by coercion. Humanitarian crisis: ➢ Many Muslim families depend on humanitarian aid ➢ Many young people , women and children still take the perilous journey of crossing the Mediterranean sea to go to Europe with uncertainty of survival ➢ Non-muslims providing aid are perceived as a better people with good heart Economic blockade and terrorist label: we could be the next victims. Our government could also support Saudi Arabia and start harassing any organisation for affiliation with Qatar or any other country or organisation
