To understand the events going on now, it might help to back to the early days of the founding of Israel by Zionists.

When the British mandate expired on May 1948, Zionists declared the state of Israel. At that time, what is now Israel was 70% Arabs and 30% Jews. Today, Israel is 20% Arabs and 80% Jews. How did that happen? Genocide, ethnic cleansing and forced displacement.

Between 1947 and 1949, Zionist militants destroyed at least 530 towns and villages. They killed about 15,000 and 750,000 were forcefully displaced. In the process, many horrible massacres happened.

Those included:
- Al-Khisas on December 18, 1947
- Baldat Al-Sheikh on December 31, 1947
- Sa’sa’ on February 14, 1948
- Deir Yassin on April 9, 1948
- Nasir Al-Din on April 12, 1948
- Al-Abbasiya on May 4, 1948
- Abu Shusha between May 9-12, 1948
- Lyyda between July 9-18, 1948

One of those massacres is the massacre of Tantura, on 22nd and 23rd of May, 1948. This massacre was carried out by the Alexandroni Brigade, which is now part of IOF. In 2022, an Israeli documentary was released, created by Alon Schwartz. It includes horrifying testemonials for Alexandroni soldiers about what happened. They include:

- Putting Palestinian villagers in barrels and shooting them
- Putting men in cages and rounding them by barbed wires then shooting them
- Incenirating them with flame throwers
- Throwing a grenade inside a school with people sheltering inside
- Raping a woman and killing her uncle who stood up for her
- Rounding all the dead on donkey pulled carts and burying them in mass graves

And so much more..

"Most Israelis don't know what happened in 1948. Most Israelis believe the naive story that the Palestinians ran away in 1948 by themselves ... because they were told by their leaders to do so," Schwarz said.

"They don't know that the Israeli army [Zionist militias] went into village after village and drove the people out, sometimes committing war crimes, like the massacre in Tantura. It's not taught in school."

What happened in 1948, is happening now in Gaza. History is repeating itself.

Zionists are doing what they know best - genocide, ethnic cleansing and forced displacement

This documentary truly is an eye-opener. Thank you for putting everything together like this.

Even one of them stopped telling further because it would become scandal issue. They're only telling 1% what happened at that time to keep themselves safe. There will be a lot except it.  They are hiding much to keep them safe from it.  There will be many horrible scenes over there regarding many things at that time.

Michele Simon, JD, MPH Please ask them to watch this documentary. Yehia put together a super great summary, but I believe seeing real testimonies would be helpful.
The documentary is by an Israeli Filmmaker, which makes it unbiased. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K7k3sioKVTI&pp=ygUYdGFudHVyYSBkb2N1bWVudGFyeSBmaWxt.

There's also another documentary on Netflix, called "Born in Gaza"

There are also great Jewish American historians and political scientists who talk about the ongoing struggle:

Hello Ammar,
Although the Tantura documentary reveals a great deal of what happened back in 1948, I believe its target audience are the Israelis who do not know the truth behind the establishment of their state. As we, Arabs, know it by heart, the documentary doesn’t say much more than what we already are grounded in.
Instead, take a look at this list of documentaries and share with whom it may concern.

Fast forward to November 4, 1995

Remember this date??

This is the date when 3 shots were fired into the back of a Noble Peace Prize winner Israel Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin by an Israeli far-right Zionist extremist Yigal Amir.

This is the date when Israel's own killed and rejected the last attempt at Peace for Israel and Palestine and the subsequent ruling Isareli Governments (Lakud-Benjamin Netanyahu-current PM) chose "WAR" instead.

This relates to the Peace deal (The Oslo Accords) that was brokered by US president Clinton between PLO Chairman Yasir Arafat and Israeli PM Yitzhak Rabin+FM Shimon Peres.

This was 28 years ago and here we are still dealing with that Israeli choice of "WAR" instead of Peace.

Trying to achieve real Peace with War have never worked and never will, that is to say if achieving Peace is really the end goal and not
just annihilate humanity/commit genocide to take over and occupy land.

I have 2 famous quotes to share:

"The most effective way to destroy people is to obliterate their own understanding of their history"
-George Orwell-

"History is not the past, it is the present. We carry our history with us. We are our history. If we pretend otherwise, we literally are criminals"
-James Baldwin-

who invented the name Israel?"

ChatGPT
The name "Israel" has ancient origins and is deeply rooted in religious and historical contexts. It is not a name that was invented by a specific individual. Instead, it has biblical origins. According to the Bible, the name "Israel" was given to the biblical patriarch Jacob after he wrestled with an angel. This event is described in the Book of Genesis in the Old Testament.

The name "Israel" has been used for thousands of years and has cultural, historical, and religious significance for the Jewish people. In modern times, the name is also associated with the State of Israel, which was established in 1948. The use of the name for the modern state reflects a connection to the historical and biblical significance of the term in Jewish culture and history.

If you're looking for a name for a specific person, it would depend on various factors such as cultural background, personal preferences, and perhaps the context or purpose for which the name is needed.

"Israel" is a name for a specific person in the Bible?
ChatGPT
Yes, in the Bible, the name "Israel" is associated with a specific person. According to the Book of Genesis in the Old Testament, the name was given to the patriarch Jacob after he wrestled with an angel. The story is found in Genesis 32:22-32. During this encounter, the angel blessed Jacob and gave him the name "Israel," which is often interpreted to mean "he who struggles with God" or "God strives."

Jacob, whose name was changed to Israel, is considered one of the founding figures of the Israelite people. His twelve sons became the ancestors of the Twelve Tribes of Israel, and the name "Israel" became synonymous with the descendants of Jacob. The term is not only associated with a specific person but also with the broader community and nation that emerged from Jacob's descendants.

negative meaning of "Israel," which is often interpreted to mean "he who struggles with God" or "God strives."?"
ChatGPT
While the interpretations of the name "Israel" as "he who struggles with God" or "God strives" are generally considered positive and reflect the biblical narrative of Jacob's wrestling with an angel, some individuals might perceive a more challenging or negative connotation in the idea of struggling with God.

For example, someone might interpret it as a constant conflict or resistance in their relationship with the divine. It's important to note that interpretations of names, particularly those with religious or cultural significance, can vary based on individual perspectives and beliefs.

In the broader historical and cultural context, the name "Israel" is most commonly associated with the positive narrative of Jacob's transformation and blessing. It is a name that has been embraced by many people and is significant in various religious traditions.

definition of Zionists?
ChatGPT
Zionism is a political and nationalistic movement that emerged in the late 19th century, advocating for the establishment of a Jewish homeland in Palestine. The term "Zionism" is derived from Zion, a hill in Jerusalem that is a symbol of the historical homeland of the Jewish people.

Zionists believe in the right of the Jewish people to self-determination and seek to establish and maintain a Jewish state in the area that is now Israel. The movement gained momentum in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, particularly in response to anti-Semitism in Europe. Theodor Herzl, a key figure in the early Zionist movement, is often considered the father of modern political Zionism.

The establishment of the State of Israel in 1948 fulfilled the central goal of the Zionist movement, and Israel remains a focal point for Jewish identity and culture. It's important to note that there are different forms of Zionism, ranging from political Zionism to cultural and religious Zionism, and opinions within the movement can vary on specific political and territorial issues. The term "Zionist" is often used to describe individuals or groups who support the idea of a Jewish homeland in Israel.
