A chronicle of Israeli actions against Palestinians in 2021

Israel has outdone itself in 2021 – destroying large swaths of Gaza, shooting to kill Palestinian protesters, endangering Palestinian children, and more. Here is a rundown of the year's violence – with hopes that together, we can work to bring justice and peace in 2022.

2021 has been quite a year for all of us, marked for many by several significant events.

If Americans Knew has posted or reposted roughly 300 articles so far in 2021, covering the situation in Israel-Palestine and news relevant to the region. Some of the major events included Israel's attack on Gaza and aggressions in Jerusalem and Sheikh Jarrah, Israel's designation of Palestinian human rights organizations as terrorist entities, and two recognized human rights groups' recognition of Israel as an apartheid state.

No one knows better than Palestinians themselves that, in between these major stories, Israeli oppression has been ongoing and crushing.

Headlines and data don't paint a picture of the lives lost, childhood ruined, homes decimated, and dreams deferred – but perhaps, by surveying this year's news, we can get just a hint of the magnitude of Palestinian suffering and tenacity.

Let's not forget that behind each statistic and headline is a family that has lived through several generations of grave injustice.
