While international recognition of a Palestinian state has gathered momentum, the situation on the ground is moving in the opposite direction. Israel’s government has advanced new annexation legislation, settlement growth is accelerating, and daily life for Palestinians is becoming more restricted and precarious.

In a new series, reporter Matthew Cassel travels through the West Bank to document what daily life looks like under deepening occupation. Starting in Hebron and moving north to Ramallah, villages outside the city, and finally Nablus, he meets people across generations to ask; what does the idea of a ‘Palestinian state’ mean today?

    imo, yes. this is caused by:

    • britain occupying palestine during world war 1,

    • more europeans & USians of european descent occupying the area after world war 2, and

    • funding of that occupation by europeans & USians of european descent to this day.

      Britain occupied half of the world and European ancestry is so common it doesn’t have much meaning. Using this logic any world news can be posted to this community and if I want to read world news there are better suited communities.
