You can find the original to this picture HERE at Visualizing Palestine.  Look at the differences between the two.  Let me be clear – I’m a sane, normal person who is against violence.  I think Palestinians should rise up against their Israeli oppressors via some sort of Gandhi or MLK esque protests.  That being said – Israel’s actions is radicalizing ME towards Israel – I can’t imagine having to live under this sort of tyrannical rule.  And just a reminder – $3 Billion in American taxpayer money goes to fund this. This is YOUR taxpayer money at work.  It’s time for Israel to start fending for itself and start funding their own oppression.

WHO CAN JUSTIFY THIS?

If you’re a Palestinian – you have to have a different license plate than an Israeli.  And that color license plate dictates what road you can drive on.  Israelis use checkpoints to choke off Palestinian growth.  Israeli settlers are able to drive deep into Palestine territory on their own roads to continue to the planned removal of the Palestinian people from their lands.  Even black people were able to use the same roads as white people during the most racist of times in the Deep South in America.

Just a reminder – Israel restricts what Palestinians are able to import.  This is the most recent update on the items Israel prevents Palestinians in Gaza from having – courtesy of the Economist (source):

Now look at these illegal and immoral actions and compare it to what’s been happening over the past several decades as Israel steals land from the Palestinian people.  This is IMMORAL.  More on the map below HERE:
