Every year has been catastrophic for Palestinians around the world, but the past 12 months have been unimaginable, writes Guardian columnist Arwa Mahdawi

History did not start on 7 October. But as the world stops to mourn it will for ever be a reminder of whose lives matter.

      You expect me to read obvious propaganda? It’s just Palestine playing the victim. Again. Because they’re cowardly bastards.

          I wouldn’t bother engaging. They’re not commenting in good faith, they’re just trying to annoy us and waste our time.

        Palestine playing the victim

        Umm, yes? Because they literally are the victim? Of an active genocide that started in October last year, and of apartheid and colonisation that has been going on for decades.

        Until Israel goes back to the 1949 borders at least (realistically, that leaves the Gaza strip insanely restricted, and the UN’s 1947 plan for Gaza was so much better), and leaves Palestine alone and punishes Israeli settlers, while ceasing treating Palestinian Israelis as second-class citizens, Israel will remain by far the worse party in this scenario.
