The Palestinian Cause: a day by day oppression
The 29 th November is a crucial date for the Palestinian people.
On this date in 1947, the UN General Assembly adopted a resolution called « the Partition Resolution », which divided Palestine into a Jewish State and an Arab State.
Following that and the Palestine war more than 700,000 Palestinians fled or were expelled from their homes.An event called Nakba, in Arabic "catastrophe", in which more than 400 Palestinian villages were destroyed.
Today, more than 8 million Palestinians are being oppressed, and their basic human rights are being violated on a daily basis by the occupation.
In this occasion, Giosef Torino and the Centro Studi Sereno Regis present the online event “The Palestinian Cause: a day by day oppression”..The goals of this event are linked to the lack of awareness, especially among young people, of this ever-changing situation. Through this event we would like to introduce the Italian and European youth to the Palestinian cause and showing the daily human rights violations caused to the Palestinian people by the Israeli occupation and what action can be taken.

Giornata internazionale di solidarietà
per il popolo palestinese
International day of solidarity with the Palestinian people
is a recurrence
by the United Nations and takes place every year
the November 29th to commemorate the anniversary
of the adoption of Resolution 181
of the United Nations General Assembly (1947).
The original plan of sharing the former British
Mandate of Palestine predicted the birth
of two states, one Jewish and one Arab,
with Jerusalem under international control.
This resolution did not prevent the outbreak
of the first Arab-Israeli war, which will lead
to the creation of the State of Israel and to the Palestinian Nakba
(catastrophe).
Since 1948 numerous UN resolutions and recommendations have sought to facilitate the peace process and the withdrawal of Israel from the occupied territories of the West Bank, where today there are about 413,000 Israeli settlers in the area C (zone of the Palestinian territories under full Israeli control) and 215,000 in East Jerusalem. This brings the population of Israeli settlers in the West Bank to around 630,000 individuals located in 143 towns 11 of which in East Jerusalem, plus 113 outposts.
(Six-Month Report on Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank, including East Jerusalem, (reporting period January-June 2019) The Office of the European Union Representative (West Bank and Gaza Strip, UNRWA) Report semestrale sugli insediamenti israeliani nei territori occupati della Cisgiordania e Gerusalemme est; Ufficio di rappresentanza dell’Unione Europea per la Cisgiordania e la Striscia di Gaza, UNRWA – Agenzia delle Nazioni Unite per il soccorso e l’occupazione dei rifugiati palestinesi nel Vicino Oriente).
Giosef Torino is close to the Palestinian people in different forms and expressions.
For years we have been working with Palestinian associations such as New Generation Palestine , Loesje Palestine, National YWCA of Palestine and The Palestinian Circus School with youthworker training projects and youth exchanges.We solidarize with the Palestinian people in their struggle for the return of the millions of refugees in their own land and reject the apartheid and discrimination policies of the Israeli government.
