About the Author

I am Safia Alkhub, a ULEAD Scholar graduation this Spring of 2025. I am a strong advocate for when their is injustice in the world and like to educate my self and others on global issues.

Abstract, Summary, or Creative Statement

This project aims to educate and shed light into the colonization and oppression of Palestinians that has been happening long before October 7th of 2023 as something more than a conflict. What Palestine is facing is injustice, ongoing settler colonialism and systemic oppression under a military occupation. Since the Nakba of 1948, the displacement, land theft, and violence that the Palestinians face continues while the world continue to be silent and complacent because of the aid of western forces like the United States to the Israeli military both by arms deals and monetary aid to the Israeli military. Many human rights have been violated as well as international laws that were overruled and vetoed because of the United States, that results in not holding the Israeli government accountable for their actions as an occupying power. Reflection and immediate change needs to occur to put an end to this ethnic cleaning and genocide that is being witnessed all over social media.
