DESCRIPTION:
International Palestinian Land Day protests the seizure and annexation of Palestinian land to create the state of Israel in 1947, 1948, 1967, and 1981 up through today. This awareness event began in 1976.
Palestinian Land Day calls for Palestinian refugees' return to the land taken from them by force. Every year on this day, a "Global March to Jerusalem" is organized, where non-violent activists arrive in Israel's neighboring Arab countries and march peacefully to Jerusalem.
THE GREAT MARCH OF RETURN
In 2018, Palestinian Land Day kicked off a six-week campaign of unarmed protests called The Great March of Return on the Gaza border to protest the then 11-year siege, 50 years of occupation, and the inability to return to their lands, confiscated by the state of Israel in 1947, 1948, 1967 and 1981.
For the next six weeks, Israeli snipers using high-powered, long-range rifles would kill over 120 civilians, including children, medics, and journalists, while wounding another 13,000 from a position of safety on the Israeli side of the barrier. Medical and first responders were amazed at how many of these "unintended" executions were head or heart shots— nearly all—leading one to believe the IDF is, without a doubt, the most unlucky army in the world. That goes against their mantra of being the best trained, most accurate, and above all, "the most moral army in the world." Yeah, right.
One Israeli soldier received a minor injury during this time. It was an unarmed protest.
The Israeli government praised its snipers' bravery and moral righteousness in killing Palestinians in their version of shooting fish in a barrel. When the world cried "BS!" Israel blamed Hamas for the deaths.
The blame was a red herring, and multiple NGOs proved Hamas was not involved in the planning, nor was it involved in carrying out the protest. Rather, the march was a grassroots action organized by students and unemployed youth, which due to the siege of Gaza by Israel, numbers well over half a million people. Gaza's population remains trapped in an area the size of Manhattan, New York, and numbers over two million souls, 70 percent of whom are under thirty.
The Great March of Return protest continued for over a year until COVID-19 forced its end. The most moral army in the world continued its killing spree and blame game until it, too, was benched by COVID. The occupation and siege of Gaza continue today.
