Vandaag 69 jaar geleden begon wat de Palestijnen ‘al-Nakba’ (de catastrofe) zijn gaan noemen. Op die dag begonen de zionistische paramilitairen en Israëlische strijdkrachten met de verdrijving van Palestijnen van hun grond, waar velen al generaties lang woonden…….. Tot 1949 werden er in totaal rond de 1 miljoen Palestijnen verdreven, zodat de joodse bevolking de meerderheid kon vormen……
Overigens kwam er allesbehalve een eind aan de verdrijving en (bloedige) onderdrukking van Palestijnen, al zijn de methoden tegenwoordig iets anders. Zo hebben de zionisten nu het leven van de Palestijnen op de door Israël illegaal bezette West Bank feitelijk bijna onmogelijk gemaakt. Boeren zijn afgesneden van hun land, dat na verloop van tijd door illegale joodse nederzettingen is/wordt geannexeerd…..
De Gazastrook is veranderd in een getto, nou zeg maar openluchtgevangenis, met 2 miljoen Palestijnen, waar Israël keer op keer boedbaden aanricht…….. Recht uit het handboek van de SS…..
De berichtgeving in Nederland over de strijd die plaatsvond in Palestina (dat uiteraard wordt aangeduid als Israël) door de reguliere media is altijd pro-zionistisch geweest. Vond nog een ‘mooi voorbeeld’ op de site van Andere Tijden:
Tot december 1947, totdat joodse terroristen 7 Arabieren bij de poort van het complex opbliezen en Palestijnse moordenaars als vergelding 39 joodse arbeiders afslachtten. Het valt me nog mee, dat de joodse psychopaten terroisten worden genoemd, maar dat ‘moordenaars’ zegt genoeg………
Vergelijk dit eens met het volgende citaat van Andere Tijden:
Twee weken eerder had een joodse strijdgroep een slachting aangericht onder de bewoners van Deir Yassin, een dorp bij Jeruzalem. Inderdaad de woorden terroristen en moordenaars vallen niet eens, terwijl het hier om de moord op mannen, vrouwen en kinderen ging……..
Het aantal vermoorde Palestijnen in de paar jaar na 1947 ligt volgens zeggen op meer dan 12.000, waarvan een fiks aantal werden afgeslecht zoals hiervoor beschreven door Andere Tijden…….. Overigens noemt AndereTijden het aantal vermoorde Palestijnen niet, tekenend voor Nederlandse berichtgeving…..
.
De Palestijnen moeten al meer dan 69 jaar bloeden voor het westerse antisemitisme. De hoogste tijd dat hier een eind aan komt! Steund de BDS beweging tegen de fascistische apartheidsstaat Israël!!
Sinds kort zijn meer dan 1.000 Palestijnse gevangen in hongerstaking gegaan, ook al een feit ‘waar veel aandacht voor is’ in Nederland………
Hier het bericht dat ik vandaag ontving van het Palestinian BDS National Committee:
BDS:
Upholding our Rights, Resisting the Ongoing Nakba
The
BNC Commemorates the 69th Anniversary of the Palestinian Nakba You
can also view it on our website here.
The
Palestinian Nakba, 1948.
It
is possible…
It
is possible at least sometimes…
It
is possible especially now
To
ride a horse
Inside
a prison cell
And
run away…
It
is possible for prison walls
To
disappear.
For
the cell to become a distant land
Without
frontiers
May
15, 2017, Occupied Palestine – Today marks the 69th
anniversary of the 1948
Nakba,
the mass expulsion of Palestinians from our homeland. Between 1947
and 1949, Zionist paramilitaries, and subsequently Israeli forces,
made 750,000 to one
million indigenous
Palestinians into refugees to establish a Jewish-majority state in
Palestine.
The Palestinian Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions
National Committee (BNC)
calls on people of conscience the world over to further intensify BDS
campaigns to end academic, cultural, sports, military and economic
links of complicity with Israel’s regime
of occupation, settler-colonialism and apartheid.
This is the most effective means of standing with the Palestinian
people in pursuing our inherent and UN-stipulated rights, and
nonviolently resisting the ongoing, intensifying Nakba.
The
Israeli regime today is ruthlessly pursuing the one constant strategy
of its settler-colonial project —the simultaneous pillage and
colonization of as much Palestinian land as possible and the gradual
ethnic cleansing of
as many Palestinians as practical without evoking international
sanctions.
Following
in the footsteps of all previous Israeli governments, the current
far-right government, the most openly racist in Israel’s history,
is heeding the words of the Zionist leader Ze’ev Jabotinsky
who wrote in
1923:
“Every
native population in the world resists colonists as long as it has
the slightest hope of being able to rid itself of the danger of being
colonised. […] Zionist colonisation must either stop, or else
proceed regardless of the native population. Which means that it can
proceed and develop only under the protection of a power that is
independent of the native population—behind an iron wall, which the
native population cannot breach.”
Sixty-nine
years after the systematic, premeditated uprooting and dispossession
of most of the indigenous Palestinian Arabs from the land of
Palestine at the hands of Zionist gangs and later the state of
Israel, the Nakba is not over. Israel is intent on building its “iron
wall” in Palestinian minds, not just our lands, through its
sprawling illegal settlements and concrete walls in the occupied
Palestinian territory, its genocidal
siege of
over 2 million Palestinians in Gaza, its denial of
the Palestinian
refugee’s right to return,
its racist
laws and
policies against Palestinians inside Israel, and its escalating,
violent ethnic cleansing in Jerusalem,
the Jordan
Valley and
the Naqab (Negev).
It is sparing no brutality in its relentless, desperate attempts to
sear into our consciousness the futility of resistance and the
vainness of hope.
The
present mass
hunger strike by
over one thousand Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails and the
grassroots support that it has triggered give us hope.
The
growing support for BDS among international trade unions, including
the most recent adoption by the Norwegian
Confederation of Trade Unions (LO) –
representing over 910,000 workers – of an
“international economic, cultural and academic boycott of Israel”
to achieve comprehensive Palestinian rights, gives us hope.
The
fact the none
of the 26 Oscar nominees offered
a free, $55,000-valued trip by the Israeli government accepted the
propaganda gift and that six
out of eleven National Football League players turned
down a similar Israeli junket gives us hope.
The
BDS movement has succeeded in sharply raising the price of corporate
complicity in Israel’s crimes against the Palestinian people. It
has compelled companies of the size of Orange and Veolia to
end their complicity and pushed global giant G4S to
begin exiting the Israeli market. Churches, city councils and
thousands around the world have pledged to boycott Hewlett Packard
(HP)
for its deep complicity in Israel’s occupation and apartheid. This
gives us and many human rights campaigns around the world great hope.
The Barcelona municipality’s
decision to end complicity with Israel’s occupation, coming on the
heels of tens of local councils in the Spanish state declaring
themselves “Israeli
apartheid free zones,”
give us hope.
The
divestment by some of the largest mainline churches in the US,
including the United Methodist Church, the Presbyterian
Church USA and
the United
Church of Christ,
from Israeli
banks or
complicit international corporations gives us hope.
The
spread of remarkably effective BDS campaigns from South Africa to
South Korea, from Egypt to Chile, and from the UK to the US gives us
real hope.
The growing
intersectional coalitions that
are emerging in many countries, organically re-connecting the
struggle for Palestinian rights with the diverse international
struggles for racial, economic, gender, climate and indigenous
justice give us unlimited hope.
In
1968, twenty years after the Nakba but unrelated to it, Dr. Martin
Luther King said,
“There can be no justice without peace and there can be no peace
without justice.” For seven decades, and against all odds,
Palestinians have continued to assert our inalienable right to
self-determination and to genuine peace, which can only stem from
freedom, justice and equality.
But
to reach that just peace we realize that we must nourish our hope for
a dignified life with our boundless commitment to resist injustice,
resist apathy and, crucially, resist their “iron walls” of
despair.
In
this context, the Palestinian-led, global BDS movement with
its impressive
growth and
unquestionable impact is today an indispensable component of our
popular resistance and the most promising form of international
solidarity with our struggle for rights.
No
iron wall of theirs can suppress or overshadow the rising sun of our
emancipation.
The
Palestinian BDS National Committee (BNC)
is the largest coalition in Palestinian civil society. It leads and
supports the global Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement.
