It’s been a #Holocaust ever since the #Nakbah. #Colonization is #evil.

Destruction of #olive orchards in the #WestBank has been going on for years, decades. In order to destroy or take over a #Palestinian settlement and make them not want to come back, it helps to destroy their culture and livelihood. The #nakbah has never stopped.

I don't know enough words to explain how I understand that Jews have been persecuted for centuries and the place to feel safe while also expressing that this area was not England or the UN's to give away, and I don't know how to fix that in my brain. How do we keep an historically persecuted group safe, to give them autonomy, without taking that away from someone else?
