It started with the mass killings and forced displacement of Palestinians in 1948, continuing through over half a century of military occupation, repeated military assaults on Gaza, and official Israeli statements that openly express support for the elimination of Palestinians. The history of this long injustice where settler colonialists have tried to wipe out a native  population and their resistance has been documented by the UN.

• Since 1948 Israel has carried out at-least 33 Massacres resulting in the death of many Palestinians.
• Israel is also the only country in the world to try Palestinian children as adults in Military courts without the presence of their parents.

• Thousands of Palestinians are detained and held incommunicado for extended periods of time by Israel in violation of international humanitarian law, without charge.  300 minors and 550 adults were held without charge or trial for more than a year.
