Since Palestinians began to commemorate the "Nakba" along the Gaza Strip border this month, more than sixty Palestinians have been killed along the Gaza-Israel border, incuding an eight months girl. Some scholars have been arguing that Israel may be charged with genocide and crimes against umanity. They compare Israel treatment of Palestinians to South Africa's treatment of non-whites.
In 1948 more than 700,000 Palestinians were forced from their homes and land when Israel declared itself a State. And today there are more than 5 Million Palestinian refugees worldwide, who are still demanding to return to their homes after seven decades.
Although the 2002 "Arab Peace Initiative" agreement stated that no settlement can be imposed on Palestinians people without their consent, communities of Jews are still moving to the West Bank, where there are 2,5 Million Palestinians. In addition, there are 1.6 Million Palestinians in Israel, who are marginalized, and 2 Million of Palestinians in Gaza Strip, which may be compared to the Warsaw Ghetto. 300,000 Palestinians are living in Jerusalem, that was officially recognised as capital of Israel on May 14 by the Trump Administration. This morning Paraguay opened its Israel embassy in Jerusalem. It's the second country to follow the United States. Unfortunately, I'm afraid we will see other followers.
