For many years, the Israeli state has been occupying many countries in the West Bank. These actions have brought violence and unrest with Palestinians. Israel has been forcing Palestinians out of their homes for years, which only makes food and shelter hard to get a hold of. Israel has not been in a peaceful state for a while. The confiscation of this land is unacceptable and the land should be returned as soon as possible.
Bolivia is a democratic republic therefore, the people in this state should ultimately have the power. To take away land from them would be unacceptable by the government’s views. Therefore, Bolivia would not agree with Israel taking away land, which also takes away from the sovereignty of the Palestinians. Bolivia believes these people deserves the land that rightfully belong to them. Bolivia does not support this abuse of power the Israeli state uses to punish the Palestinians.
Bolivia would suggest to effectively end the occupation of these territories in the Israeli state. This abuse of power never should have been tolerated and it should not be tolerated any longer. The Palestinians deserve their sovereignty. We must stand a firm ground against this corruption of power, as this would bring justice to the Palestinians. We must help to restore peace in Israel and remain unyielding in this fight against the leaders of the land occupations until this issue is resolved. This will not only help the Palestinians now, but will help to show the Israeli state we won't allow abuse of power in the future as well.
