The capacity to understand and have empathy is a big part of what makes us human. We have to fullfill our human role and apply our intellectual and emotional capacities to at least know the truth or get closer to it. The onus is on us to not adopt an intellectual or emotional stance without looking into the matter of the fact. This could be a painful process, but this by far is better than accumulating false assumptions as we go and living by them. This applies to many people when they dismiss the Palestinian cause as a conflict there between Israelis and Palestinians. Let us do our part and learn about the history of the struggle that we may understand the ugly nature of Israeli occupation and racism against the indigenous owners of the land. Let us not confuse terms like conflict and war with occupation, apartheid, and ethnic cleansing. #DeirYasinMassacre , #israeliapartheid, #Gazaunderseige #buildingsettlementsonPalesntianproperty, #destroyinghouses, #ArabIsraelissecondhandcitizens etc.. = occupation
