Israel's Apartheid Regime and the Policy of Home Demolitions

Israel’s discriminatory planning and zoning regime has been designed, from the beginning, to facilitate Israel’s land appropriation and dispossession of the Palestinian people. This regime has enabled the appropriation of Palestinian land through various methods, which have prevented Palestinian urban development.

🇵🇸 Israel and its allies are repurposing the goals and lies of 1948 – in Gaza in 2023 – Jonathan Cook

Israel is openly carrying out ethnic cleansing inside Gaza, driving Palestinians outside their homeland as happened in 1948. And yet, just as during the first “#Nakba”, Israel's lies and deceptions dominate the West’s media and political narrative.

So Israel is taking advantage of this moment to “finish the job”. The final destination is clearly in view, as, in truth, it has been for more than seven decades. The crime is unfolding step by step, the pace quickening. And yet senior politicians and journalists in the West – like their predecessors – continue to be blind to it all.

“I hugged the olive tree… I’d raised the tree like my child.” Mahfodah Shtayyeh

On November 27, 2005, a Palestinian woman was photographed hugging an olive tree after it was attacked by Israeli settlers.The photograph became an iconic image symbolising the daily struggle of many Palestinian farmers in the occupied West Bank.

Over 800,000 olive trees on Palestinian farms have been uprooted by the Israeli authorities and settlers since 1967.

How Israel indoctrinates its people w/Miko Peled | The Chris Hedges Report - Real News Network

To understand the genocidal campaign unfolding before our eyes, we must examine the roots of Israeli society. Israel is a settler colonial state whose existence depends on the elimination of Palestinians. Accordingly, Israel is a deeply militarized society whose citizens are raised in an environment of historical revisionism and indoctrination that whitewashes Israel's crimes while cultivating a deep-seated racism against Palestinians. Miko Peled, former IOF Special Forces and author of The General's Son: Journey of an Israeli in Palestine, joins The Chris Hedges Report for a frank conversation on the distortions of history and reality at the foundations of Israeli identity.

Golda Meir (1970) - "we asked them to leave" Palestine

Golda Meir points out she was a Palestinian from 1921 to 1948, says "we asked them [the Arabs] to leave", and is upset that they didn't and don't like it. We were here before, "we've come back". Extract from longer interview with the then Israeli PM Golda Meir, full post from Thames TV here:

🇵🇸 Trump's ethnic cleansing plan: No option left for the Palestinians but to stay and fight | Azzam Tamimi for Middle East Eye

The creation of a #Jewish homeland in #Palestine could not be achieved without imassacres and #EthnicCleansing. #Britain, which was entrusted with an international #mandate for Palestine, knowingly enabled #Zionist land theft and the #dispossession of the Palestinian people. 

The 1948 #Nakba, when at least 750,000 Palestinians were turned into #refugees, marked the nadir of this process."

There are essentially two options: surrender and be exterminated, or put up a fight to regain your #freedom and #dignity. The Palestinians knew from the start that they were not being offered a third option. 

Even the peace process that culminated with the signing of the #OsloAccords in 1993 was designed only to end the Palestinian issue by transforming the Palestine Liberation Organisation (#PLO) into a security agency that would aid and prolong the Zionist occupation of Palestine. 

🇵🇸 Our film is going to the Oscars. But in Masafer Yatta, we’re still being erased | 972mag

As the world watches ‘No Other Land,’ Israeli settlers are raiding and burning our villages while soldiers arrest us, abuse us, and demolish our homes

Despite the exciting success of the #film in #festivals and among journalists and audiences around the world, however, the situation here on the ground is deteriorating rapidly and the future looks bleak.

Over the past 16 months, Israeli settlers and the military have taken advantage of the atmosphere of the war to reshape reality in #MasaferYatta in favor of #settlers and their outposts, intensifying their efforts to displace us from our land. Even as I write this, the Israeli army is conducting a major demolition operation in the community of Khalet A-Daba, razing homes, toilets, solar panels, and trees.
