For 70 years the Israeli state has refused to allow refugees created in the establishment of that state to return to their homes. This was a condition the United Nations imposed on Israel when it won international recognition.

For over half a century, since the 1967 war, Israel has occupied and dominated the territories of the West Bank and Gaza. Millions of people are kept in a de-facto form of apartheid with few rights and continually being dispossessed by Israeli settlers in the West Bank and in an open-air prison in Gaza.
