Occupation 101 Palestine under Israeli occupation

Palestine and Israel is a well known issue and ongoing conflict that is well known but has been presented to the world in a sugar coated and even simplified way that hides the harsh realities of Palestinian life under Israeli occupation. Missing from the story of Palestine and the Palestinian people is the unequalness of the conflict and that Israel's creation in 1948 didn't bring peace for displaced Palestinians or the wider Middle East. It led to decades of Palestinian society being fractured through Israeli military occupation, a settler colonial state created for Jews at the expense of the indigenous Palestinians, a human rights issue often described as a religious conflict while its modern social and political problems are overlooked.
