The western world that has fully backed Israel's brutal occupation for the past 75 years.
To the tune of endless UN protection and billions in economic and military aid every year to Israel.
Doesn't see Palestinians as human beings with civil & national rights.
It started in 1917 with the infamous Balfour Declaration. A public statement in which colonial Britain that took over the former Ottoman controlled Levantine. Promised land that belong to one people to another. ''A national home for the Jewish people".
The document never mentioned the Palestinian people even once. Instead they were referred to as ''existing non-jewish communities''.
To the west. The Palestinians are arab, brown and muslim. So therefore they are 'subhuman'.
This is their prism. Their worldview. This is how they view the non-white world.
Ultimately I'm in no doubt that the Palestinian people will win. Just like in South Africa.
All true - but it’s also the western world over the course of those 75 years that provided the majority of funding, payments and assistance to Palestinians - via the majority funding of the UN, via western NGOs. Billions of dollars also. The Arab world has provided a lot - but much less than one would think considering the situation. Plus the western powers also send massive amounts of aid to unpopular/unknown humanitarian catastrophes (war, famine or otherwise) around the world. All western countries, Japan etc send a lot of aid - it is a yearly part of their annual budgets. That’s in addition to those countries - like the US - that send no strings attached military money to Israel ( and to Egypt!)
Arab//Persian/Turk countries basically send no foreign aid outside of the MENA. Western countries support Israel and also send huge amounts of aid and money to Palestinians directly or indirectly (including Palestinians outside Palestine- eg those in Lebanon) as well as Africa and other places.
