History

Historical Context

The 2014 Gaza War, which resulted in over 2,200 Palestinian deaths, sparked global protests and calls for accountability against Israel's military actions. In response, organizations like Amnesty International condemned the violence and highlighted the need for a two-state solution. Recent protests in Europe reflect this ongoing demand for justice, echoing historical calls for Palestinian rights and statehood discussions dating back to the 1967 borders.
