Today, Palestinians are still foreigners in their own land because the State of Israel refuses to give them the chance to create their own free and sovereign State. About three million Palestinians live in the Gaza Strip and Cisjordan and one million in Israel, and more than six millions in refugee camps. They keep demanding their legitimate right to decide freely on their future.

 

However, Israel is backed by the USA and this allows the country to blatantly ignore the resolutions of the United Nations, who on repeated occasions (35) have demanded that Israel should withdraw to the borders of 1967 and dismantle the Jewish settlements in the occupied territories.

 

After the 11th of September 2001, Ariel Sharon's government started a military offensive with the purpose of definitely destroying the economic, social and political bases of Palestinian society.

Nevertheless, fifty years of occupation, military aggressions, violations of the United Nations resolutions, complete control of economic resources, violations of Human Rights and systematic repression have not managed to crush this people, who have got used to the breaching of their most elemental rights: the right to life, to health, to education, to housing, to free movement, to work, etc.
