Is there anything we can do?

Boycott Israeli goods. I and many other people do individually, but it could be done by the government.

Time for some Christmas shopping.

Both bookmarked - thanks. I might do some Krimbo prezzy buying from them.

If you are going to boycott Israeli goods, you should also be boycotting Palestinian goods. It's not as if the people running the Palestinian areas are paragons of virtue.

Given what China gets up to most goods should be boycotted.

The village has no source of power, so in 2015 a Palestinian organisation donated solar panels to give the villagers a form of electricity but Israel had them taken down.
Huge trucks of human excrement were brought in and dumped flooding the ground next to the villagers homes in an attempt to make them leave.
Israel had a place marked out for the villagers to relocate to that was next to a municipal dump where the stench was appalling. These defenceless people are still fighting to stay in their rightful home but it's looking very grim.
The creator of this video is a geo-political investigator and has contacts across the middle-east. The beginning of this report is footage from Khan Al-Ahmar from one of these contacts and is very disturbing.

Indeed - but they are the victims, and Israel is the oppressor.

Everyone has to do what they feel is best. Personally I like to offer support through buying from individuals and co-operatives where possible.

Sadly, agreed.

While you're at it, have a look at OTRF - the "Olive tree reconciliation fund"; They do a lot of good work bringing Israeli Jewish and Palestinians together.

Er....it might be argued that "Palestinians"...'Palestinu' - Biblical 'Philistines' - have lived in the area since Ramesses III kicked them out of Egypt in the eleventh century BC......That's what DNA tends to confirm, anyway....

This, I take it, is the usual totally irrelevant bollocks from the Zionists that there never was a state called Palestine. So what? If you must post bollocks, at least make it original bollocks.

You do know that, in a census in the 1990s, 15% of Palestinians self-identified as Christian?

And that REALLY makes a difference, eh ?!?!?!?

Yes.
It means that they do not associate their faith with their nationality.

Don't be silly. What if a group of people claiming to be descendents of ancient druids started moving to England, claiming it as theirs, knocking down your home and putting you in what is essentially a ghetto? That is what it happening in Palestine.

Exactly. That there was never an independent state called Palestine is a complete red herring.

This series of maps shows graphically what Palestinians have lost over the decades since Zionism came to Palestine.
