Thread Name: BS: Palestinian 'facts'
Subject: RE: BS: Palestinian 'facts'
I don't say that Israel is a fascist type country. That must be some kind of insecurity that Zionists get when they are criticised.
However ,Israel does remind me of apartheid era South Africa with many of its racist and vicious features.

And of course the Zionists know a great deal about armed factions and many Palestinians were the victims of the Zionist Stern gang which went to work with bomb and machine gun and knife when the Palestinians were driven out of their homes and expelled from their country.

Of course the Palestiniansd want a decent life.....at present it is a life that the Israeli state and the Zionists who control it are not prepared to allow.

This means that a Palestinian and her children and grandchildren are barred from returning to their homeland by Israeli law.In contrast a Jewish person from anywhere in the world has the legal right to enter Israel permenantly.

It also means that the illegal occupation of the West Bank is now the world'ds longest occupation of one land by a foreign power.And the Israeli can only maintain that occupation by intolerable methods which are against international law and any law of human decency. So we have the mass demolition of Palestinian houses,the theft of Palestinian farmland,the imprisonment of huge numbers of Palestinians on the West Bank [the majority of Palestinian males have been hauled off to Israeli jails ], attacks on Palestinian refugee camps like Jenin, the assassination of Palestinians by Israeli death squads, the building of the monstrous apartheid wall which snakes its way through Palestinian land for hundreds of miles, the siting of hundreds of checkpoints which cause huge delays for Palestinians who may only need to travel a few miles, the grubbing up of Palestinian olive groves,the closure of Palestinian schools and universities and countless other forms of daily humiliations meted out by the Israeli state to the Palestinian people.

If the Israeli people wish to negotiate in good faith they have a poor way of showing it as they do a good job in electing aggressive right wing and corrupt governments on a regular basis. Why I seem to recall that the old "Butcher of Beirut" himself, Ariel Sharon ,became leader of the Israeli government and did his utmost to further provoke the Palestinians with his "walkabout" at the muslim mosque in Jerusalem ....a walkabout which involved him being guarded by around 1000 armed guards.
And we have also seen the kind of "real life " being dished out to the Palestinian Gazans by the Israeli state.It has waged war on civilians including women and children for over a year.It has blockaded Gaza by air,land and sea.Its warship has blown up picnicers on the beach, it has rained down missiles on crowded streets and apartment blocks.It has blown up journalists and news cameramen.It has cut off power to hospitals and homes alike.

Yup, Gaza has tasted the Israeli military's version of "real life"...and it might not be fascism but it is brutal, venal and corrupting.
