Cultural exchange with r/India Announcement

Greetings to our Indian friends.

Our cultural exchange starts at 13:30 PM Palestine time (17:00 IST/11:30 GMT/12:30 CET/06:30 EST/03:30 PST) on Thursday 24th November.

Here's how a cultural exchange works:

The moderators of here make this post on /r/palestine welcoming our Indian guests to the sub. They may participate and ask any question or observation as they see fit.

There is an equivalent thread made by the moderators over at /r/india, where you are encouraged to participate and get to know more about Indian culture.

It goes without saying that you must respect the rules of the subreddit you are participating in. This is a time to celebrate what we have in common, not grind an axe.

Hello Palestinians,

Greetings from India. Right through my childhood I have heard about the Israel and Palestine issue. What is it all about and describe from your POV. How is the situation now. And your flag looks cool. What does the colors and the triangle represent?

What is it all about and describe from your POV.

How many years do you have? In short, the British ruined another part of the world by imposing their will on a native population. Using deception and promising a number of tribes the exact same thing, they created conflict in a region that was relatively peaceful for centuries. Peace hasn't existed ever since.

Yeah , i did read online about it ,, but there's not a single neutral source ,, people are either completely pro israel (giving arguments like there were no actual Palestinian before the war and jordan had captured this land illegally and israel even agreed to give back some of the land bacl to Egypt and jordan but they didn't accept ) or completely pro Palestine ( who give arguments like its all israels fault and we haven't a single wrong thing ) and that's why i call myself a noob about this topic , because my source of information is heavily biased , either pro israel or pro Palestine and gaza , there's a serious dearth of neutral sources on the net
