The apologists for Israel make grisly reading . Israeli leaders and their supporters seem to think that the Palestinians can be slaughtered and massacred to the peace table where their land can be further dismembered and their lives further bound and shackled and humiliated in "bantustans" and enclosed behind apartheid walls.

Yet the history of the Palestinian people shows that they will resist the F16 bombers, the giant tanks and the helicopter gunships together with the Israeli assassination squads,prison camps and roadblocks etc.

Israel is an armed and illegal occupier of the West Bank,the Golan Heights and East Jerusalem.

Its paramilitary settlers on the West Bank are nothing more than armed thugs who have been terrorising the Palestinians ever since they began to build their hilltop fortified settlements in the aftermath of the 1967 invasion. Their work has been aided and abetted by the Israeli military itself with its numerous checkpoints,roadblocks,Apartheid Wall, rubber coated bullets and all the other paraphenalia of a barbaric occupation.

The majority of Palestinian men in the West Bank have at one time or another been inside the huge prisons operated by the Israeli state.

And Gaza one of the most densely populated places in the world has been occupied,surrounded,threatened and attacked for years by the Israeli military which is of course well armed and funded by the USA and other countries including the UK.
