Geography Archives: Palestine

It is not beyond my comprehension to understand the policies of the Israeli government in light of Jewish history under the Nazis. We know Jews have suffered and have been victims. Is it that mentality behind the walls, the indescribable destruction, loss of land, houses, deaths, the decrepit prisons of torture? Are Jews really still victims of paranoia and fear?

The ongoing attempts to take over Muslim holy places, whether in Jerusalem, Hebron, or in Nablus, continue apace, as does valiant Palestinian resistance to them.

Mondoweiss is a key movement and media resource helping the world understand what is happening in Palestine and calling it by it’s true name: apartheid. Donate today to make sure Mondoweiss can continue to publish the unvarnished truth.

“We are anonymous because we fear retaliation.” This text was part of a letter signed by 500 Google employees last October, in which they decried their company’s direct support for the Israeli government and military.

Harvard Law School’s International Human Rights Clinic’s recent report declaring that Israel is practicing apartheid is a victory for Palestinian human rights.

“With the eyes of the international community wide open, Israel has imposed upon Palestine an apartheid reality in a post-apartheid world, UN Special Rapporteur on Human Rights Michael Lynk writes in a new report.

The JNF is a case study of misrepresentations and fabrications to rationalize and justify profound immorality. There is a great deal of critical history documenting that antisemitism is not inevitable, intrinsic, or constant in history.

Despite its title, Andreas Malm’s recent book ‘How to Blow Up a Pipeline’ contains no concrete instructions on how to accomplish that particular deed.

The story of the Bedouin village Sa’wa in the Naqab is the story of Palestine. Palestinian homes are being demolished and Palestinian families are being expelled to make way for the Israeli settler population.

“Israel’s actions over the last almost 75 years demonstrate that there is very little regard for the indigenous landscape, the indigenous flora and fauna, the wildlife population, and the indigenous people.” – Zena Agha, Middle East Institute.

Israel attempts to improve its public image to counter efforts by human rights organizations that reveal the nature of Israeli apartheid.

Recently unearthed statements from Israel’s founders endorsing ethnic cleansing and violence during the Nakba will only be shocking if you are not familiar with the long history of Zionist leaders and thinkers showing genocidal intent towards Palestinians.

Sylvain Cypel’s “The State of Israel vs. The Jews” shows how bereft of human decency Israelis have become in their treatment of Palestinians, and how much Jewish moral patrimony has been given up in creating, supporting, and tolerating a Jewish State.

PRESS STATEMENT: Africa4Palestine mourns the loss of Archbishop Desmond Tutu

Israeli government discussions on the massacres perpetrated by Israeli soldiers in 1948 were declassified for the first time this week in an investigative report published by the Israeli newspaper Haaretz and the Akevot Institute for Israeli-Palestinian Conflict Research.

Israel announced the completion of an underground wall and maritime barrier surrounding the besieged Gaza Strip. Not a single mainstream media outlet used the term “concentration camp” to report on it but they should have.

The Israeli human rights group said that these settler attacks are used as a “major informal tool” by the state of Israel to displace Palestinians in order to confiscate and annex their lands.

The international community has a political, and even legal, frame of reference regarding its position on the Israeli occupation of Palestine. Unfortunately, however, it has no genuine political mandate, or the inclination to act individually or collectively, to bring this occupation to an end.

Leaders of the six Palestinian human rights organizations that Israel has declared to be “terrorist” spoke to a global audience last Friday on a webinar convened by mainstream Washington thinktanks and they repudiated the secret dossiers that Israel has circulated in seeking to ban the organizations.

For much of this year, Israel’s defenders have waged a successful battle to keep the word “apartheid” from entering the mainstream discourse. Israel just set that process back by smearing Palestinian human rights groups as terrorist organizations.
