The consequences of ignoring the 1947 Partition Plan and the 1948 Nakba
World leaders will never admit that “7 October” actually started well before 7 October last year; that the entire history of the Zionist state brought to fruition through enabling colonisation in Palestine is to blame for the current Israeli genocide in Gaza and the unleashing of its killing machine in Lebanon and the wider Middle East. For decades, the UN has instructed the world in submission, and altered important dates in history to reduced symbolism and fake remembrance, while Israel benefited from the impunity granted by the international sense of oblivion imposed on its victims.
And now, with Gaza decimated and its population rendered refugees, disappeared in mass graves, rotting under rubble or dismembered by Israel’s relentless genocide — and Lebanon suffering a similar fate — the events of 1947 and 1948 are still ignored. Palestinians are trying to survive a genocide; the least the world can do is remember where and when Israel’s own journey from massacre to massacre and ongoing carnage started.
There is no excuse for feigning ignorance.
Even with Israel keeping most of its archives classified, there is enough information to attest to the fact that the 1948 Nakba was the first genocidal step committed by Israel, encouraged by the 1947 UN Partition Plan which was based on racism and colonial conquest.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told the UN that the Israel will continue bombing Gaza and Lebanon, while US Secretary of State Antony Blinken called publicly for diplomatic negotiations, the usual game changer for Israel and status quo for the colonised. The US, however, also admitted to helping Israel to shoot down Iranian ballistic missiles. “We are proud of the actions that we’ve taken alongside Israel to protect and defend Israel,” US National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan said on Tuesday. Only colonisers and former colonisers would use such a term while knowing that the entity they protected is responsible for genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity, and that the possibilities exist of a perpetually destabilised region in which it becomes easier to annihilate the Palestinian people for the sake of the Zionist concept of Greater Israel.
Despite such visible annihilation, Jordanian Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi last week told Israel that its security would be assured by Arab countries if the military occupation ends and a Palestinian state is allowed to exist. Unless Israel is stopped, it will exist within its colonial framework whether or not it is guaranteed security. Of course, Safadi is also eliminating the fact that Israel’s security narrative is the only concept that creates threats for the rest of the region. What threats truly exist for Israel from Arab countries, when the eagerness to appease the occupation state takes precedence over all else?
The UN must be called out for authoring the biggest travesty of human rights ever recorded — the signing off of Palestine to the Zionists without consent.
In 1948 the international organisation ignored the ethnically cleansed Palestinians and offered a pathetic resolution as compensation – the right of return of refugees – which is as blemished as the organisation itself given that such “return” of refugees is conditional on Palestinian obligations. Now, 76 years later, the UN – both as a political actor and a willing, side-lined spectator – can look at its monstrous creation and call emergency sessions, but will not lift a finger to stop Israel. This is the result of disregarding the importance of historical memory. Meanwhile, Palestinians and other civilians across the region will keep paying the price for the UN’s protection of the Zionist colonial project in Palestine.

Thank you Mrs Wadi, this is the only article among many outlets that exactly pinpoint the problem.
And thank you to call-out the UN, the globalist organization, totally controlled by the powers and elites who wanted to impose the zionist plans on Palestine in 1947, without consulting the natives of course.
A total travesty that keeps being censored, ignored and brushed aside.
How the genocide co-perpetrators, the US and UK would react if the UN suddenly declared that half of their countries will now be given to foreign invaders?
There is no two states solutions since the state in question belongs only to Palestinians in the first place, the zionists, 90% of them originating from eastern Europe or central Asia have zero claim on this land contrary to the Jews who lived there with their Arab neighbors before 1917.
However, the inhuman arrogance displayed by the zionists and their western lackeys (US first) will be their demise. Given the sate of utter decadence in the foremr ‘West”, its demise might even come earlier than thought.
One has just to look at the pathetic spectacle of the US ‘elections’ every 4 years to understand that it has now fully assumed its role as a banana republic and the emperor, whoever the zionist choose to install in power, has no clothes.
The day the US go down, the fake state of “Israel” will follow very quickly and the millions of victims of genocide surrounding them will have no pity against their murderers.
