Tag: etnische zuivering

De
fascistische apartheidsstaat Israël
heeft een Palestijns bedoeïenen dorp gebulldozerd: de bewoners kregen 10
minuten tijd om spullen ‘veilig te stellen’ en ja wat kies je op zo’n moment….. Voorts heeft
Israël één auto en twee tractoren van deze Palestijnse mensen
geconfisqueerd, ofwel gestolen…..

Hoe
is het gvd mogelijk dat de wereld en nu dus ook een groot deel van de
arabische wereld wegkijkt van het enorme leed dat het verdrukte
Palestijnse volk wordt aangedaan en dat al ruim meer dan 70 jaar op
rij…… Nog een geluk dat er steeds meer Joden over de wereld zijn
die zich verzetten tegen het ongebreidelde geweld van de Israëlische
terreurstaat tegen het machteloze en verdrukte Palestijnse volk……

Keer op keer moeten Palestijnen als deze bedoeïenen verkassen en raken ze meer en meer grond kwijt, zogenaamd voor militaire oefeningen, zodat ze al lang niets meer kunnen verbouwen en zijn aangewezen op schapenteelt, echter ook dat wordt hen onmogelijk gemaakt, deze walgelijke gewelddadige handelingen van Israël kan je dan ook niet anders zien dan als smerige etnische zuiveringen….. (Israël hoopt dat Palestijnen uiteindelijk verkassen naar een ander land; in het hieronder opgenomen artikel stelt de schrijver Hass dat Israël deze Palestijnen wil gebruiken als arbeiders, echter zoals je uit het voorgaande zal begrijpen, ben ik het daar niet mee eens)

Het
westen dat zo’n grote bek heeft over mensenrechtenschendingen, over
etnische zuivering, over misdaden tegen de menselijkheid, over het
vermoorden van ongewapende demonstranten, kijkt uiterst hypocriet weg
van deze terreur die gepaard gaat met alles waar het westen zogenaamd
tegen is…….. Sterker nog: westerse politici en media doen commentaar als dat van mij af als antisemitisme, terwijl dit niets met Jodenhaat te maken heeft, maar alles met kritiek op ronduit fascistisch geweld, dat overal ter wereld bestreden moet worden, maakt niet uit wie zich schuldig maakt aan dergelijk geweld!!

Lees
het volgende uiterst ontluisterende en misselijkmakende verslag
over het geweld van Israël tegen machteloze Palestijnen, geschreven door Amira Hass van Haaretz, door mij overgenomen

Israel
Gave Them 10 Minutes to Pack Up Their Whole Lives: 74 Palestinians,
Including 41 Children, Left Homeless

Eleven
Palestinian families were left homeless in the Jordan Valley. Finding
shelter for sheep and newborn lambs was the most urgent task, as
their livelihood depends it

November
16, 2020 “Information
Clearing House”
– “Haaretz”
–  The Civil Administration gave the families living in the
Palestinian hamlet of Khirbet Humsa in the northern Jordan Valley
just 10 minutes to remove their possessions from the tents last
Tuesday. Fatma Awawda, 23, held her 1-year-old daughter Larin. She
was paralyzed by the sight of the military jeeps and administration
workers in fluorescent vests who got out of them, by the bulldozers,
by the soldiers, by all the shouting.

But
she pulled herself together quickly so she could empty as much as
possible from the tent that was her home. What to take first? The gas
canister? The cradle? Clothing and blankets? The mattresses? The
stove? The plastic toys that arrived in a “CARE” package? The
onions and potatoes? The rice? She put Larin down in the back seat of
the family’s beat-up Subaru. She’ll be warm and safe there, and
I’ll have my hands free, she figured.

Larin
wasn’t the only one to be put in the car for shelter: Four newborn
lambs, too young still to be sent to the hills with the older sheep,
were placed in the trunk. After a while, one of the Civil
Administration workers took the bundled baby girl out of the car and
handed her to one of the adults. The keys were in the car. A soldier
got in and started driving. The lambs were still in the trunk.

“The
men started running after the car, shouting at the soldier to stop,”
Awawda said on Friday, three days after the
demolition order was carried out, leaving 11 families – 74
people, including 41 children – homeless. The lambs were rescued.
The car was confiscated.

Another
toddler, two years old, wet her pants while watching the bulldozer
strike the makeshift structures that were her home. The children’s
wails were drowned out by the noise of the demolition. Two and a
half-year-old Mohammed shouted at a soldier, “Go away, go away!”
His mother, Ansar Abu al-Kabash, said her cousin was born just the
day before. “She doesn’t have a name yet. During the demolition I
sat my sister-in-law down on the side, with the baby in her arms.
They’ve gone somewhere else now. They couldn’t stay here in the
tent they gave us in the middle of all the junk.”

On
Friday, her 4-year-old son Ismail had yet to calm down and kept
crying. Mohammed was still fuming. Their 3-month-old sister Hadil,
laying in a small crib in the emergency tent the family received,
seemed to pick up on their unhappiness and added her own angry cries.

In
terms of the number of people made homeless, this is the largest
demolition operation carried out by the Civil Administration since
2010. In terms of the number of structures that were torn down, it is
the most extensive demolition operation since 2016, knocking down 11
tents and huts used as living quarters, 29 tents and shelters for
sheep (about 1,000 animals), plus 10 sheep pens, three sheds, nine
tents used as kitchens, 10 portable toilets, two solar panels, 23
water tanks, plus stalls and feeding troughs for the sheep.

Precious
water was spilled. Sacks of animal feed were ruined. Two tractors and
Awawda’s Subaru were confiscated. The statement from the
Coordinator of Government Activity in the Territories about “an
enforcement action against seven tents and eight animal pens” bore
no resemblance to the actual scale of destruction.

Some
of the Humsa residents say the convoy of military jeeps appeared at
10 in the morning. Others think it was at 11. Some remember seeing
six bulldozers and diggers, others think there were four. Some say
the demolition force made its first stop at the second of four tent
encampments that made up this community of shepherds. The encampments
are spread out from west to east, with about two kilometers
separating them. Others say the force came to the third encampment
and then split up.

But
all remember that the first thing the men of the community did was to
run to all the corrals and get the sheep out to the surrounding
hills. “The problem is that it’s the lambing season,” Abu
al-Kabash said. “What will happen to the lambs? Where will we keep
them? How will we take care of them?”

Some
of the sheep gave birth afterwards in the hills. Finding shelter for
the sheep and newborn lambs was the most urgent task, because the
families’ livelihood depends on the sheep. It’s their way of
life, one they will not give up.

The
search for grazing areas is what brought the Awawda and Abu al-Kabash
families, originally from the village of Samu’a in the southern
Hebron Hills, to the northern Jordan Valley. The northern migration
began in the 1970s and 1980s, when the grazing lands near Samu’a
and Yatta began to shrink and access became more difficult due to
military bans and Israeli construction. In 1948, the families from
Samu’a already lost a large chunk of their land that was left on
the Israeli side of the Green Line. Due to population growth, the
limited water supply Israel permits to the Palestinians, increasing
drought and expanding settlements, more sheep breeders from Samu’a
moved north to the Jenin and Tubas area.

The
Abu al-Kabash and Awawda families lease land owned by people from
Tamun and Tubas. On this land they erected their simple dwellings,
and there they also grow wheat and barley for their own needs.

But
Israel declared the area a “firing
zone” and that is COGAT’s* explanation for the massive
demolition, as it has been for many of the recent
demolitions and restrictions imposed by Israel on Palestinian
construction and movement in the West Bank. Firing Zone 903 alone,
where Humsa is, took 80,000 dunams (about 20,000 acres) of land from
Palestinians in the northern West Bank. Since 2018, the residents of
Humsa have had to evacuate at least 20 times due to military
exercises in the area. “Israel didn’t leave us any land to plant.
Without our sheep, we’ll become beggars,” says Yusef Abu Awad.
“Israel does not want us to have our own source of income. It wants
us to work for the Israelis.”

The
demolition of each encampment lasted about half an hour.
Sixty-year-old Aisha Abu al-Kabash, Ansar’s mother-in-law, who has
difficulty walking, says the Civil Administration workers removed
some of the contents of her tents in the second encampment. Whatever
they didn’t remove was demolished or buried under the tents’
remains. Umm Walid al-Kabash, from the third encampment, says through
tears: “If only they had informed us ahead of time. We would have
been able to save more things. The taboun for baking bread was also
destroyed.”

Relatives
of the Humsa residents who live not far away tried to drive over and
see what was going on as soon as they heard, but were stopped by
soldiers. Their children crossed the hills on foot to get closer to
the scene. Photographers were also stopped by soldiers, so there is
no footage of the demolition itself. Only the mute testimony of the
tumble of debris: mounds of rods and creased canvas, sheets of
plywood, netting, simple furnishings, fabrics, playpens (since
Tuesday these were put inside the emergency tents that were donated
to the community), kernels of corn (food for the sheep) scattered on
the ground. The families hastened to wrap their food and some of
their belongings in thick sheets of plastic to protect them from the
rain that began falling that night.

After
scenes of the extensive demolition were publicized, on Friday a large
EU delegation came to view the site. The foreign ministries of
Belgium, Britain, Ireland and Luxembourg issued condemnations and
said the demolition was in violation of international law. But Ansar
said: “What’s new here? They don’t know what Israel is? They
don’t know that Israel wants to get rid of us and bring more
settlers here instead?”

COGAT:  Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories >> De coördinator van de overheidsactiviteiten in de gebieden is een eenheid van het Israëlische ministerie van Defensie die zich bezighoudt met het coördineren van civiele kwesties tussen de regering van Israël, de Israëlische strijdkrachten, internationale organisaties, diplomaten en de Palestijnse Autoriteit (info van Wikipedia). Overigens heeft de Palestijnse Autoriteit, ofwel PA (werkzaam op de West Bank) besloten weer samen te werken met Israëlische terreurtroepen (militairen), een schande van jewelste!! Hier een cartoon van Carlos Latuff over de PA:
