Israel occupying Palestine echoes France colonising Algeria: Analysts
Al Jazeera
Scholars of Algerian history rule say they see a lot of parallels with Israel’s occupation of the Palestinian territory.
Thousands of protesters gathered in a town under colonial rule in the 1940s. They raised national flags and placards and called for self-determination.
The authorities tried to confiscate the flags, triggering a riot that killed several officers and settlers.
The colonial army, its settler militias and police responded by bombing villages and homes where “rebels” were ostensibly hiding.
Thousands were killed and entire families wiped out.
