Genocide, Apartheid, Occupation and the Truth! Part I

Days of Palestine, Vancouver -There is no mistaking at all what is taking place in Palestine daily is genocide at the hands of a Zionist Regime that holds Palestine contained by Apartheid and controlled by Occupation.

The Occupation of Palestine did not begin in 1967, and neither did Occupation’s crimes against the Palestinian people. The Zionist Occupation Regime established their illegal state on the mass graves of the Palestinian people long before; Jew, Muslim and Christian alike.

          Genocide: the deliberate killing of a large group of people, especially those of a particular ethnic group or nation.

Let us go back further to the Nakba of 1948, the massacre of Deir Yassin was but one of many during this time.  Let us not forget the dozens of other massacres committed by the Zionist Regime, one of the worst of which was the massacre Al Dawayima.

The extreme, heinous barbarism exhibited by the Zionist Occupation Regime has been and is accurately likened to that of the Nazi Regime of WWII.  How soon history is forgotten and how soon history repeats itself.  How soon the oppressed become that which they despised – there is no difference between the Zionist leaders over the last almost 70 years and that of Hitler himself.

Many refer to the Zionist Occupation Regime as the “state” of Israel, there is no such legitimacy in this claim.  Such a “state” is nothing more than a weak paradigm of governance over citizens that are handpicked to be considered such, and the rest, the Palestinians that have lived, worked and prospered on this land for centuries in peace with one another, again Jew, Muslim and Christian, are subjugated and segregated, considered less than human and made open targets to be killed and massacred at will by IOF (Israeli Occupation Forces) and ISF (Israeli Special Forces) daily; men, women and children.

Apartheid: a policy or system of segregation or discrimination on grounds of race.

Imagine if every day you were forced to see this threatening wall of grey. This Israeli Occupation Apartheid wall is a constant reminder of the Palestinian’s stolen freedom, stolen rights, stolen lands, stolen family members and stolen futures. This is a wall of Israeli hate, fear and oppression! Palestinians do not deserve to live in a cage on their own lands, Palestinians belong here, free.  Palestinians have the right to defend their homelands and their lives.

The Occupation’s Apartheid wall has turned the occupied West Bank and Gaza into the equivalent of an Israeli concentration camp.  This wall sits on stolen Palestinian land and sections of the wall have doors, but not for Palestinians to pass “freely” through – in or out! They are prisoners held against their will…

The Israeli Occupation Forces use these doors as quick access points, to barrage in with their armored vehicles and military soldiers to illegally kidnap, arrest, terrorize, assault and raid Palestinian villages by day and by night, and always the nights before known, weekly peaceful, non-violent demonstrations, such as in Bil’in. IOF are always dressed for war and aim to kill. This is the desperate reality of life under Occupation, this is not a movie; this is the sad daily life in Palestine.

Bil’in and villages like it will not be demoralized. Palestinians are standing up united for their human rights and for peace, and for an end to this illegal occupation. Will you stand with Palestine?  Your silence condones the violence committed against Palestinians daily. Your complacency makes you guilty of these crimes equally.  We are all human, but there is no humanity in the Zionist Occupation Regime.

Palestinian men, women and children, are harassed daily by IOF and illegal settlers.  This is how Zionist Occupation Settlers in full view of IOF soldiers treat Palestinians. Harassing, humiliating, taunting, physically threatening, and dehumanizing with their heinous and racist actions. Zionist men, women and children participate; filled with hate, attack an innocent Palestinian woman (shown above). This is life under Occupation for every Palestinian man, woman and child, daily.

Corralled, controlled and subjugated to terror every day.  This is how Occupation controls the flow of Palestinians. Forcing them to be scrutinized, demoralized and dehumanized through heavily armed and guarded checkpoints through every area of Palestine.  Never free to come and go even within their own villages and territories, and the world turns a blind eye to it all.

How much longer can this go on?  How much longer will the world allow the Zionist Regime to continue breaking international laws and committing crimes against humanity?  Occupation actively breaks International Laws and no one is holding the Occupation to account.

Calling Occupation’s Apartheid of Palestine is fact. As well as having the support of South Africans who fought against apartheid, the situation in Palestine conforms to its definition under international law. The 1977 Additional Protocol I of the Geneva Conventions of 1949, for example, lists apartheid as a “grave breach”, and one “without any geographical limitation.”
