Israeli air attacks have killed at least seven people in Gaza, Palestinian health authorities said, as Israel continues to violate the “ceasefire” during the Muslim holiday of Eid al-Adha.
At least five Palestinians were killed in an Israeli drone attack on Maghazi refugee camp in central Gaza on Tuesday, the civil defence and hospital officials said.
“Five martyrs and several wounded were transferred (to hospital) after an Israeli air strike targeted a group of citizens in eastern Maghazi,” the civil defence agency said.
Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital confirmed the death toll.
There was no immediate comment from Israel, which launched a genocidal war against Palestinians in Gaza in October 2023.
Local media reports suggest the attack targeted Palestinians who confronted an alleged Israeli-backed armed group operating in the eastern part of the camp.
Reporting from Gaza City, Al Jazeera’s Tareq Abu Azzoum said the strike raises questions about Israeli tactics in Gaza.
He said that, according to media reports and sources, the armed group allegedly backed by Israel was able to withdraw safely from the area following the strike. Azzoum added that Israel carried out several air strikes following the attack, one of which hit a family home.
In southern Gaza, at least two people were killed and several others wounded in an Israeli attack on a vehicle in the city of Khan Younis, medics said.
Israel has killed more than 900 Palestinians since the United States- and Qatar-brokered “ceasefire” came into effect in October.
The British Mandate in 1920 covered ~120,000 km². In 1921, Britain carved off 77% of it, everything east of the Jordan, and handed it to Emir Abdullah. Jewish settlement: banned. That became Jordan.
So before a single partition map was drawn for what remained, Arabs already had 77% of the Mandate, exclusively.
Then came the proposals for the remaining 23%:
Peel (1937): Jews ~4% of the original Mandate, Arabs ~96%. UN '47: Jews ~12%, Arabs ~86%, Jerusalem international.
Per capita, under the most Jewish-favorable plan Britain ever entertained: Jews: ~23 km² per 1,000 people Arabs: ~60 km² per 1,000 people
Arabs were allocated 2.7× more land per person than Jews. Under Peel, 6.6×.
The Jewish share was consistently below the Jewish population share.
Every single time.
The "disproportionate Jewish allocation" narrative requires you to pretend Transjordan doesn't exist.
Apa Lagi Falastinos Mau?
ReplyDeleteDid Jews really get "most of Palestine" in 1947?
Here's the math:

It does. It's 77% of the answer.
