Israeli Apartheid Policies Towards the Palestinians are similar to South Africa and Jim Crow in the USA

FACTORS: BRUTALITY + VIOLENCE + DISENFRANCHISEMENT + RACISM + SEGREGATION + APARTHEID + CONTAINMENT + CHOSEN PEOPLE MYTH + INSECURITY OF ZIONISM + NEOLIBERISM + PURIFICATION + DEGRADATION + BOYCOTT + DIVESTMENT + SANCTIONS + IMPRISONMENT + MURDER + INVASION + OCCUPATION + LAND GRAG + SETTLER COLONIALISM + COMPLETE DESTRUCTION + DEPRAVATION + ATTEMPTED DEMORALIZATION + ETHNIC CLEANSING + BLACK FREEDOM MOVEMENT + SOLIDARITY + WE SHALL OVERCOME

Israeli Policies Towards the Palestinians Mirror Regimes of Apartheid in South Africa and Jim Crow in the U.S.

Black people see the condition and treatment of the Palestinians a reflection of their own and Black writers, scholars, artists, and activists show solidarity with Palestine. These outstanding contributors have all spoken to the sheer brutality meted out against the Palestinian people by the State of Israel. They highlight the historical parallels between the everyday practices of violence, the modes of legal disenfranchisement, the normalization of racism, and the forms of segregation and containment through which the policies of the Israel towards the Palestinian people mirror the historic regimes of apartheid in South Africa and Jim Crow in the United States.

These Black Contributors have been at the forefront of calls for international solidarity with Palestine and for support of the boycott, divestment, and sanctions movement against Israel – calls that have taken on an added urgency in light of the current Israeli offensive against Gaza.

Background on the history and politics of the Israeli occupation and the Palestinian quest for self-determination, The Public Archive recommends a number of recent texts = In The Battle for Justice in Palestine, Ali Abunimah, editor of the Electronic Intifada, places the complex local politics of the conflict into global context while describing the impact of the neoliberal turn on the practices of occupation.

The collection Palestine, compiled by Funambumlist editor Leopold Lambert as part of his fantastic publication series, offers a critical take on the cartographic, spatial, and architectural elements of settler colonialism. In Nablus: City of Civilizations [pdf] architect Naseer Rahmi ‘Arafãt conjures a meticulous oral and architectural history of the city of Nablus, a cross-roads of Arab civilization that has witnessed almost complete destruction as a result of occupation. The late Edward Said’s The Question of Palestine remains an eloquent and ethical classic while in the Idea of Israel: A History of Power and Knowledge, Israeli historian Illan Pappé, author of the earlier The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine, provides an uncompromising investigation into the ideology of Zionism and its manifestation in the practices of Israeli settler colonialism.

For more on the specific question of Black solidarity with Palestine, the Black on Palestine Tumblr is a must-follow archive of videos, links, essays, and excerpts. In Black Liberation and Palestine Solidarity, published by the excellent Atlanta-based autonomous publishing house, On Our Own Authority! Publishers, Lennie Brenner and Matthew Quest offer a clear-eyed and unflinching read of the politics and rhetorics of the Black freedom movement in its encounter with Israeli settler colonialism. The longer and broader history of the question of solidarity between the African diaspora and the Arab world is recounted in Alex Lubin’s comprehensive The Geography of Liberation: The Making of an Afro-Arab Political Imaginary. Sohail Daulatzai’s Black Star, Crescent Moon: The Muslim International and Black Freedom Beyond America examines how African Americans have seen themselves as part of what Daulatzai calls the “Muslim Third World” and shows how radial, internationalist, and anti-imperialist modes of Blackness, from an era stretching from the Cold War to the War on Terror, have found alliance with Muslim struggles for freedom.

A number of recent monographs have approached a different question of solidarity, alliance, and affiliation within the Black World: the question of solidarity through the history of sound. Shana Redmond’s Anthem: Social Movements and the sound of solidarity in the African diaspora, examines Black song and Black citizenship in the soundtrack of Black protest. Tsitsi Ella Jaji’s Africa in Stereo: Modernism, Music, and Pan-African Solidarity reads the reverberations of African American music across the Black Atlantic through its influences in Senegal, Ghana, and South Africa. Gaye Theresa Johnson writes of solidarity and sound in The Public Archive’s new favorite city: Los Angeles. In Space of Conflict, Sounds of Solidarity: Music, Race, and Spatial Entitlement in Los Angeles, Johnson explores the history of racial conflict and inter-racial alliance between Blacks and Chicanos in L.A. from the 1940s to the present and the sonic and spatial strategies of solidarity. Meanwhile, a more traditional group of texts have recovered the history of Black Internationalism and pan-African struggle of the of the Interwar years: Hakim Adi’s Pan-Africanism and Communism: The Communist International, Africa and the Diapora, 1919-1939, Gerald Horne’s Black Revolutionary: William Paterson & the Globalization of the African American Freedom Struggle, and Holger Weiss, Framing a Radical African Atlantic: African American Agency, West African Intellectuals and the International Trade Union Committee of Negro Workers, a book whose use of Soviet archives is unprecedented.

Finally, two recent texts look at the impact of revolutions in the Caribbean on the practices of solidarity in the international theatre of the Cold War. David Scott’s Omens of Adversity: Tragedy, Time, Memory, and Justice considers the history and historiography of the collapse of Grenada Revolution and its impact on the Caribbean left. In Visions of Freedom: Havana, Washington, Pretoria, and the Struggle for Southern Africa, 1976-1991, Piero Gleijeses examines the resonances of the Cuban victories in Angola and Namibia on the struggles to dismantle apartheid in South Africa. Scott offers an account of failed revolution; Gleijeses one of success. Both offer lessons for Palestine and the Palestinian solidarity movement.

Israel Student Union Set Up “War Room” to Sell Gaza Massacre on Facebook = “Organized lying” and Propaganda

Israel Student Union Set Up “War Room” to Sell Gaza Massacre on Facebook = “Organized lying” and Propaganda

http://www.globalresearch.ca/israel-student-union-set-up-war-room-to-sell-gaza-massacre-on-facebook/5392888

Students at the IDC Herzliya “war room,” focus on posting propaganda justifying Israel’s attack on Gaza on Facebook.

As the death toll from Israel’s savage bombardment of Gaza continues to climb, Israel has once again turned to students to sell the slaughter online.

“Although they haven’t been called up to the army yet, they’ve decided to enlist in a civilian mission that is no less important – Israeli propaganda [hasbara],” Ynet’s Hebrew edition reported a massive initiative organized by the Israeli student union at a prestigious private university.

Hasbara war room = “explaining” = Term used in Israel for government propaganda aimed at overseas audiences = message is Israel has the right to defend itself from rocks and old 1970s Scuds by MURDERING 700 PALESTINIANS.

The leader “Bar David was a captain in the Israel Defense Forces, serving in the office of the military spokesman’s unit.” = Propaganda Unit

Of the 700+ Murdered Palestinians 80% are civilians, according to the United Nations. A thousand Palestinian homes have been LEVELED into rubble + numerous mosques, schools, hospitals, shops, businesses and charities hsve been attacked.

400 zealous students sit at computers from day one of the bombing in an “Advocacy Room” or “Hasbara war room” spreading propaganda and lies for government pay. Herzliya student union has a history of working on government-funded propaganda schemes, where students are recruited as the country’s “pretty face.” A “covert” Israeli government initiative pays students for spreading propaganda online. = Told to “Look like they are unofficial, just every day people chatting online.” “But in fact, these are campaigns of organized lying, orchestrated with government-approved talking points and crowdsourced volunteers and stipend recipients.” Working in 30 languages, the students target online forums including so called “anti-Israel” pages on Facebook and comments sections of online media. They even have a graphic designer for their lies and propaganda. One shows how KIND ISRAELIS are to Palestinian FREEDOM FIGHTERS = LOL IN FRONT OF A CAMERA. Another absurd speculation graphic is that Palestinians ineffective 1970s scuds could be bombing downtown Berlin – But no Israelis have been killed by a Scud.

One student’s role is to sow doubt about the authenticity of photos and videos. These Israel propagandists hope that by degrading pictures they can sow doubt about Israeli atrocities committed in Gaza.

They are able with PRESSURE to PULL DOWN ENTIRE FACEBOOK PAGES = “Yesterday we managed to pull down a whole Facebook page” with 120,000 followers “after a lot of activity on our part.” In marked contrast to Facebook’s total inaction, despite complaints, to control the pervasive, raging incitement to racism and violence by Israelis on Facebook who support the slaughter of Palestinians.

The Student role in government propaganda = The Propaganda leader says, “the war room was founded as a continuation from Operation Pillar of Cloud” in Israel’s November 2012 assault on Gaza that killed 170+ people, again overwhelmingly civilians. Indeed, the effort to recruit students into government propaganda has a well-documented history, as The Electronic Intifada has reported:

APARTHEID AND HOLOCAUST Israel Is Captive to Its ‘Destructive Process’

by

APARTHEID AND HOLOCAUST Israel Is Captive to Its ‘Destructive Process’

Click for Source Article on TruthDig

Palestinians try to salvage what they can of their belongings from the rubble of a house destroyed by an Israeli airstrike = ISRAELI CRIMINALS MURDER ANYONE WHO LOOKS LIKE AN ARAB – CIVILIAN OR NOT!

Raul Hilberg in “The Destruction of the European Jews” chronicled a process of repression that at first was “relatively mild” but led, step by step, to the RACIST APARTHEID AND THE RACIST HOLOCAUST = Ended with UNRESTRAINED MURDER.

ISRAEL has done to the Palestinians over the past few decades following a near CLONE of that same “destructive process.” = Gradually stripping basic civil liberties, robbing them of their assets (Land + Homes) + Palestinians suffered same mounting restrictions on their physical movements = Blocked from trading and business including Produce + FORCED INTO STONE-AGE DAMAGED POVERTY WITH NO CLEAN WATER AND NO SEWERS + Trapped behind walls and security fences erected around Gaza and the West Bank.

“The process of destruction [of the European Jews] unfolded in a definite pattern,” Hilberg wrote. “It did not, however, proceed from a basic plan. No bureaucrat in 1933 could have predicted what kind of measures would be taken in 1938, nor was it possible in 1938 to foretell the configuration of the undertaking in 1942. The destructive process was a step-by-step operation, and the administrator could seldom see more than one step ahead.”

WHILE ISRAEL = WILL NOT BE PERMITTED EXTERMINATION CAMPS THEY DO HAVE GAZA WHICH IS A LARGE GRADUALLY EXTERMINATING EXISTENCE OF EVERY 2 YEAR CARPET BOMBING BACK INTO THE STONE-AGE + COMPLETE ABJECT POVERTY OF SEMITES LIKE THE JEWS!

ISRAEL KEEPS SQUEEZING THE PALESTINIANS INTO MORE AND MORE ABJECT DEPRIVATION AS ISRAELIS MURDER larger and larger numbers of them IN THEIR RACE PURIFICATION SCHEME. + TARGETED Assassinations + Other Armed Attacks by Military and Settlers. ISRAEL MAKES Hunger and Misery THE MAIN STAY OF PALESTINIAN LIFE. + Israeli demands for “transfer” = The forced expulsion of Palestinians from occupied territory to neighboring countries grows.

Palestinians in Gaza living Conditions = Jews in Nazi Germany in the ghettos

PALESTINIANS cannot enter or leave THEIR HOMELAND JUST LIKE THE JEWS

DOCUMENTED Food Shortages and FOUL WATER + NON-FUNCTIONAL SEWERS = 50% of children in Gaza and the West Bank under 2 years old have iron deficiency anemia and reports that malnutrition and stunting in children under 5 are worsening.

Palestinians = Lack clean water + Are crammed into unsanitary hovels = NO medical care.

Palestinians = Stateless and lack passports or travel documents LIKE NAZI JEWS

Palestinians = Massive unemployment 50% are dehumanized daily by racist diatribes of ANGRY JEWS RELIVING THEIR OWN HISTORICAL HORROR at the hands of NAZIS! = CALLED NAMES LIKE = ANIMALS + Criminals + Terrorists + Mortal enemies of the Jewish people.

NET-THE-YAHU says – “A deep and wide moral abyss separates us from our enemies. They sanctify death while we sanctify life. They sanctify cruelty while we sanctify compassion.” = PURE LIES BY A WAR CRIMINAL AND MURDERER!

NET-THE-YAHU’s advisor (NOW DEAD Uri Elitzur), a leader in the settler movement wrote, “They [the Palestinians] are all enemy combatants, and their blood shall be on all their heads. Now this also includes the mothers of the martyrs, who send them to hell with flowers and kisses. They should follow their sons, nothing would be more just. They should go, as should the physical homes in which they raised the snakes. Otherwise, more little snakes will be raised there.” EXTERMINATIONIST LIKE NET-THE-YAHU and LIKE THE NAZIS WERE TO SO MANY TO CREATE A PURE RACE OF NOTHING BUT JEWS (GERMANS).

JEWS IDEA THAT THEIR RACE IS THE CHOSEN RACE = HAS contaminated the ruling elitists to justify NAZI-STYLE MURDERING (KNOCKING ON DOORS AND KILLING) AND APARTHEID by quarantining the PALESTINIANS THEY CONSIDER UNCLEAN ANIMALS NOT WORTHY OF SURVIVAL MUST LESS RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS.

ISRAELI LEADERS ARE LIKE THEIR JEWISH PEOPLE INFECTED WITH HATE AND ARE RACISTS IMPOSING APARTHEID QUARANTINE OF MILLIONS OF OTHER SEMITES (PALESTINIANS) with SIMILAR HISTORIES AND BLOOD LINES – EXCEPT FOR THE SO-CALLED JEWS FROM FAR EASTERN EUROPE WHO HAVE NO SIMILAR BLOOK LINES (BUT CLAIM OTHERWISE).

ISRAELIS = BELIEVE THE ANIMALS CAN NEVER BE CLEANED OR REDEEMED OR CURED. MOST RIGHT WING RACIST ISRAELIS (like Hannah Arendt) BELIEVE PALESTINIANS ARE CONTAMINATED AND MUST BE ERADICATED! (HITLER REBORN)

RIGHT-WING JEWS USE FEAR OF THE OTHER TO MOTIVATE MURDER AND CARPET BOMBING UNDER AN PRETENSE (TUNNELS = SEWER SYSTEMS TO BE DESTROYED). = FEAR OF THE OTHER = A PARANOIA OF THE GUILTY JEW FOR CENTURIES! THEY CAN NEVER BE AT PEACE UNTIL EVERY NON-JEW IS DEAD AND GONE! ERADICATED! RACIST NET-THE-YAHU BELIEVES THE SAME AS HIS ADVISORS AND ACCIDENTALLY EXPRESSES IT AMAZINGLY OFTEN!

FEAR OF THE OTHER IS USED by THE ELITISTS to STOKE MORE RACISM AND CREATE A STATE OF PERMANENT OFFENSE AND MURDER = INSTABILITY AMONG PALESTINIANS NEVER KNOWING IT THIS IS THE DAY THEIR CHILDREN WILL BE MURDERED OR THEIR WOMEN RAPED BY A SOLDIER OR SETTLER.

ISRAELI LEADERS GOALS = IS CORRUPT POWER ELITISTS seek the destruction PALESTINIANS AND DEPRIVATION OF DEMOCRACY AND FREEDOM = NO CIVIL SOCIETY FOR PALESTINIANS = USA RIGHT-WING GOAL IS THE SAME = REMOVAL OF CIVIL SOCIETY FOR ALL NON-WHITES = Stripping its own citizens of THEIR rights. Max Blumenthal’s book “Goliath: Life and Loathing in Greater Israel” masterfully capturers and dissects the frightening devolution OF ISRAELIS INTO A NAZI MINDSET!

2008 = ISRAEL Mounted a MURDEROUS ASSULT ON GAZA = Operation Cast Lead = 1,455 Palestinians killed, including 333 children + 5,000 more injured.

2012 = WAS ANOTHER MURDER DRIVEN CAMPAIGN

2014 = HAS ALREADY MURDERED OVER 700 PALESTINIANS AND 80% ARE CIVILIANS = CARPET BOMBING PALESTINE BACK INTO THE STONE-AGE OR SURVIVAL WITH NOT ENOUGH FOOD AND NO CLEAN WATER AND NO SEWERS SO CONTAMINATION IS EVERYWHERE AS CHILDREN DIE OF HUNGER AND DISEASES

ISRAEL IS SETUP FOR RACIST ETHNIC CLEANSING AND DEPRIVATION OF ALL NON-JEWS OF THEIR FREEDOMS AND RIGHTS = EVEN THOSE LIVING IN ISRAELI TERRITORY!

ISRAEL MUST RISE ABOVE THEIR “CHOSEN STATE OF RACIST HATE FOR NON-JEWS” OR THE WORLD WILL DO IT FOR THEM!

THE WORLD IS FAR TOO INFORMED IN THE INTERNET AGE TO ALLOW THIS JEWISH MASS MURDER AND EXTINCTION OF NON-JEWS TO CONTINUE!

IF 2014 BECOMES ANOTHER 2008 MASS MURDER THE JEWS WILL BE ON THE RUN FROM WORLD OPINIONS. EVEN MANY SMART JEWS REASON AND SEE THE END TO A PURE JEWISH STATE AS A FOOLISH GOAL THAT FITS INTO THE TIME BEFORE CHRIST MORE THAN IN THE 21st CENTURY!
