Free Palestine Token Whitepaper

The current scope of meme coin culture often highlights unserious and funny concepts, images, and ideas. Leaving all politics and opinions aside, the idea for this project is to simply help raise funds for those who are suffering from the current conflict between Israel and Palestine. A percentage of $FREEP token supply will be withheld in the original token account and distributed to community-selected Palestine relief efforts; this will also apply to any Israeli relief if the community sees it fit. This is starting as a Solana based token and other tokens will be launched on other blockchains according to the demand. Supplemental educational materials on the history and status of the region will be distributed on community channels to promote knowledge about the origin of this conflict and provide assistance in any way possible.

The Israel-Palestine conflict was reignited in popular media after an assault was launched on Israel by the group HAMAS in October 2023 with a vigorous Israeli assault following afterwards. This conflict has displaced about 1.9 million Palestinians from their homes and left over 30,000 killed; on the Israeli side 1,400 Israelis have been killed and 253 prisoners were kidnapped. 

The history of Palestine and Israel is deeply complex and contentious, marked by centuries of cultural, religious, and political struggles. The region known as Palestine has been inhabited for thousands of years, with ancient civilizations such as the Canaanites, Philistines, and Israelites establishing roots there. It's also a land sacred to Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, adding layers of significance and conflict.

In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the rise of Zionism, a movement advocating for a Jewish homeland in Palestine, gained momentum, fueled by anti-Semitic persecution in Europe. This led to increased Jewish immigration to Palestine, then under Ottoman rule, and later under British mandate following World War I.

Tensions escalated between Jewish and Arab communities in Palestine as Jewish immigration surged, exacerbating nationalist sentiments on both sides. The United Nations proposed a partition plan in 1947 to divide Palestine into separate Jewish and Arab states, but it was rejected by Arab leaders, leading to the 1948 Arab-Israeli War.

Following Israel's declaration of independence in 1948, neighboring Arab states intervened, resulting in displacement and refugee crises for hundreds of thousands of Palestinians, known as the Nakba, or "catastrophe." Israel expanded its territory beyond the boundaries set by the UN partition plan, leading to the establishment of the State of Israel and the displacement of Palestinian communities.

Since then, the region has witnessed numerous conflicts, including the Six-Day War in 1967, which resulted in Israel's occupation of the West Bank, Gaza Strip, East Jerusalem, and the Golan Heights. These territories remain central to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, with ongoing disputes over borders, settlements, security, and the rights of Palestinians.
