FACTS ARE FACTS .....

 

In a paper released Jan 12, 2021 the Israeli human rights group B'Tselem broke with its own tradition of keeping a low profile or completely avoiding the issue, now they stated unambiguously that the entire area compromising Israel, the West Bank, the occupied Golan heights and the Ghaza strip, is an apartheid regime of Jewish supremacy. 

B'Tselem status as a leading Israeli human rights organization is inviolable and untouchable both in Israel and America, while their research, reports and papers are regularly and often being used by other human rights groups and governments agencies including the U.S. rendering their last paper about the apartheid nature of the state of Israel and the occupied territories very significant, and it cannot be overstated nor ignored, at least by officials of our State-Department and new administration. 

B'Tselem has since its creation in 1989, focused almost exclusively on the problems of the occupied territories, mainly the West Bank, the Golan heights and Ghaza. Reporting mainly on problems regarding the military total supremacy and occupation of vast portions by a supposedly democratic country. As well as the settlers huge impact on its policies, the stealing of lands, water and wealth of Palestinians and Syrians. The combined voluntary efforts of both, settlers and army, in humiliating, destroying and imprisoning thousands of civilian defenseless indigenous people weekly for years against all civilized norms and in flagrant violation of international law and human rights accepted rules. 

The statement states: "The Israeli regime which controls all the territories between the Jordan river and the Mediterranean sea, seeks to advance and cement Jewish supremacy throughout the entire area. To that end, it has divided the area into several units, each with a different set of rights for Palestinians and other under occupation populace, always inferior to the rights of Jews and Jewish settlers. As part of this policy, Palestinians and other non Jewish people are systematically denied many or all rights, including the right to self determination, or even basic judicial equality & fairness. 

The international criminal court in defining apartheid states clearly ; "The heinous crime of apartheid means inhuman acts...committed in the context of an institutionalized regime of systematic oppression and domination by one racially motivated group over any other racial group or groups, and committed with intentions of maintaining that regime and state of affairs."  

Within the borders of the West Bank, Ghaza or the Golan heights, conditions on the ground clearly fit the definition of apartheid under international law, and it only gained momentum after many tens of thousands of settlers families have been given a green light and free hand to brutalize, annihilate and usurp their native neighbors, and treat them all as inferior beasts. While the governments of Israel and the U.S. are still trying in all possible ways to portray Israel's acts and the state itself as a modern liberal democracy, a country of laws, and a country that passes as a less racist society. 

Both countries, and their administrations and political supporters, will have to accept and seriously consider  the reality that the country they have admired and blindly backed for long decades, has been labeled officially, by its own agencies and people, as an apartheid state. 

Watch the mouth, it reveals what the eyes try to ignore and hide, if and when you tell the truth, people tell each other about it, word of mouth is very powerful.
