EACH SA 22 illegal homes Israel approved last week another nail in the casket in the peace process, was targeted by the complex of western and corporate governments. Israeli habitats are not the second civilian neighborhoods – they are main instruments to throw, control and apartheid. The settlements closed military zones of the Palestinians’s stolen land, cut our access to our resources, our farms, our schools, each. Palestinian lands quickly shrink, our livelihoods are destroyed, our systematic rights violated and our identity is lowered.
Western legislators viewed, expressing peace commitment through a two-state solution but chose not to produce this purpose. However, their policies and quit has given up further settlement activity.
In the West Bank we live in an obvious two-tier system, but most of the lawmakers continue to avoid the word “apartheid” and international human rights organizations united in its accuracy and the International Court of Justice (ICJ) reassurance in July. The settlersLouis Troroux’s BBC documentary, helped this reality, which I showed that I did not walk on the same streets as the Israelites in Dirive Jesus in the neighborhood of Hebron, where I was born.
In response to the documentary, the residents of Israel and soldiers closed my courtyard, which vandalized it and attacked me. Soldiers do not have attachments but threaten to catch I If I filed a complaint. Then one morning at 4am, young residents made a bonfire in Palestinian private land outside my house and suffered that they were hoping to see me killed. A man appeared in front of my house in army developments and a semi-automatic rifle to frighten me. The settlers immediately stolen my Pand-Africa flag, which a black life was given to me, and burned it between a group of Palestinian flags.
This story is the same as the adjacent Masafer Yatta, shown not only in settlers but also in the film winning Oscar There is no other land. Directors Basel Adra and Yuval Abraham call for interventions last week to help stop its destruction, and the Co-Director Hamdan ballal Got and beat to retaliate for doing this.
The ICJ found Israel responsible for apartheid crime, though western leaders bite their tongues. Knows that not only Israel’s habitats but also the full occupancy of West Bankincluding East Jerusalem, and the strip of Gaza is unlawful, and that the international community is obliged to drive the residences, evacuate the settlers and end the occupation as possible. Why are west leaders not good?
As well as western governments are more harmful to the international justice system than Israeli. Although there are some stronger criticisms in Israel, it continues to crimes in its war, As Nesrine Malik wrote Last week, no matter what.
Governments must be encouraged, if Icj requires, take steps to prevent trade relations that can help illegal occupation, starting with a ban on all businesses. Not only are individual residents but also senior officials responsible for illegal homes and apartheid should be added and carried out by justice for war crimes. Not only some but all arms moved to Israel need to be stopped.
And you, dear friend of conscience, should not only read and watch what is happening but also used your voice and act. We trust you to continue to emphasize Gaza And the West Bank, and holding your Parliamentarians, government governments and corporations. Change your bank or pension funds when investing in companies involved in illegal habitats or supply genocidal and apartheid Israel in arms.
Without the concrete actions now, we will erase the entire West bank as well as Gaza. Forty thousand Palestinian refugees are dismissed from their homes in the West Bank since January. Twenty Palestinian communities are expelled from their West Bank lands after attacks from facilities and the occupants of the army using bulldozers. Last week the last remaining 30 families in the Pagpayir Al-Deir, near Ramalonlah, forced to flee after the state-based research months.
Despite these darker times, I write it to a great feeling of hope in my heart inspired by many people who are conscience in the world with us.
This is a test for primary leadership. Not only in policy, but in principle. We Palestinians need protection and justice today, before it is too late.
