October 2000 vs May 2021: How Palestinians defied fragmentation
Al Jazeera
Analysts and activists say the May 2021 protests marked a turning point in Palestinian mobilisation and unity.
Occupied East Jerusalem – During the first eight days of October 2000, Israeli forces shot dead 13 unarmed young Palestinian men during mass protests inside Israel (referred to as the 1948-occupied territories by Palestinians).
Termed “habbet October” in Arabic – meaning popular outburst – the protests and confrontations came after the Israeli military’s killing and wounding of Palestinians in the 1967-occupied territories at the outbreak of the Second Intifada, or uprising.
Amid decades-long, systematic Israeli physical, political and social fragmentation of the Palestinian people, the October protests and the Intifada marked a moment of popular unity between Palestinians in the 1948 and 1967-occupied territories.
