History

Historical Context

Global protests supporting Palestine reflect a long history of conflict in the region. Since the British Mandate (1917-1948), tensions have escalated, particularly after the 1948 Arab-Israeli War, which resulted in the displacement of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians. The establishment of the Palestine Liberation Organization in 1964 further galvanized Palestinian identity and activism, leading to ongoing struggles for recognition and rights.
