De
zionisten (ofwel: fascisten) in Israël en daarbuiten kunnen hun handen
dichtknijpen met Trump in het VS zadel. De Oslo Akkoorden, nu 25 jaar
oud, worden door Israël met voeten getreden, daarbij in feite
gesteund door de VS. Bij deze vaststelling moet ik zeggen dat die
Oslo Akkoorden al een belachelijk product zijn waar de Palestijnen
aan het kortste eind hebben getrokken. Ik bedoel: hoe is het mogelijk
dat Arafat, de leider van de PLO akkoord ging met de legitimatie van Israëlische zeggenschap op de door haar illegaal bezette West Bank?? Te zot voor woorden!!

Zoals
we vanaf maart hebben kunnen zien met de Great Return March in de
Gazastrook (dus niet op de straten van het gestolen land Israël),
waar Israëlische scherpschutters als ‘echte helden’ vanuit het gestolen land Israël een massamoord
hebben aangericht en nog steeds op Palestijnen schieten als ze aan
hun kant van de grens, naar de mening van Israëlische psychopaten, te dicht bij die grens komen….. Let wel: het
gaat hier om vreedzame, ongewapende demonstranten, die hun
openluchtgevangenis meer dan zat zijn… Onder de slachtoffers:
kinderen, invaliden, medisch hulpverleners en journalisten……. (nogmaals: vermoord op grondgebied ‘van’ de Palestijnen)

Lees
het volgende artikel van Miko Peled, gepubliceerd op MintPress News
en door mij overgenomen van Anti-War en zie waar de hechte
vriendschap van de VS met Israël leidt tot grote ellende en enorme
terreur van de fascistische apartheidsstaat Israël, dat zich voor de uitgeoefende zionistische terreur gesteund weet door de VS……

Putin: 4 Reasons Why Trump Is Netanyahu’s Manchurian Candidate

(MPN Op-ed) — In
the months leading up to the 25th anniversary of the Oslo
Accords,
the U.S. has colluded with Israel in a string of policies and
decisions that completely undermine the legitimacy of the agreement,
not to mention Palestinian claims to justice, freedom and ultimately
peace. As these policies unfold, one cannot help recalling the words
of the great Palestinian writer Ghassan
Kanafani,
who said that talking with the Israelis is “a conversation between
the sword and the neck.”

There
is a clear common thread that binds several of the U.S. policies
enacted by President Donald Trump since last December. Moving the
U.S. embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem; pulling out of the Iran
agreement; defunding UNRWA, and closing the PLO mission in D.C. all
satisfy the objectives of the Israeli government while not benefiting
the United States in the least. One might imagine that the United
States is executing Israel’s policy, reading as it were from a menu
that was provided by Benjamin Netanyahu. In fact, the Trump
administration is every Israeli prime minister’s dream.

Jerusalem

Moving
the U.S. embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem was reckless, dangerous
and absurd. The occupation and annexation of Jerusalem by Israel was
in violation of UN resolution 181 from November 1947, which states in
“Part III, City of Jerusalem” that:

“The
City of Jerusalem shall be established as a corpus
separatum under a special international regime and shall be
administered by the United Nations. The Trusteeship Council shall be
designated to discharge the responsibilities of the Administering
Authority on behalf of the United Nations.”

Resolution
194 from December 1948 — in other words, more than a year after
Resolution 181 was passed and the eastern half of Jerusalem was
occupied and subjected to a total full ethnic cleansing, where not
one Palestinian was permitted to remain — reiterates this:

8
| Resolves that, in view of its association with three world
religions, the Jerusalem area, including the present municipality of
Jerusalem plus the surrounding villages and towns, the most eastern
of which shall be Abu Dis; the most southern, Bethlehem; the most
western, Ein Karim (including also the built-up area of Motsa); and
the most northern, Shu’fat, should be accorded special and separate
treatment from the rest of Palestine and should be placed under
effective United Nations control …

For
this reason all diplomatic missions to Israel are situated in Tel
Aviv and not Jerusalem. The diplomatic missions in Jerusalem mostly
pre-date the establishment of the State of Israel and are considered
sovereign and independent of their countries’ embassies in Tel
Aviv. Even the U.S. consulate until recently reported directly to
Washington, and the consul general was in fact an ambassador. This
was not unlike placing the U.S. embassy to France in Berlin and —
according to sources I spoke to at the U.S. consulate in Jerusalem —
now that the ambassador’s office was moved to Jerusalem, the place
is in a state of confusion and it is not at all clear who is
responsible for what.

In
addition to all of the above, the recognition of Jerusalem as the
capital city of Israel legitimizes the crime of ethnic cleansing and
destruction which Israel has perpetrated in Jerusalem since 1948.
This move did not benefit the U.S. in any way but it boosted Benjamin
Netanyahu’s political power, and can be viewed as nothing less than
a personal political gift from the president of the United States to
Netanyahu.

Iran
Deal

Israel,
and Netanyahu, in particular, have been against the nuclear deal with
Iran from the very beginning. Needing a diversion from its own war
crimes and violations of international law, Israel has for many years
pointed to Iran as a threat to itself and the rest of the world. This
was a point of serious disagreement between the Obama administration
and Israel and then Donald Trump put the disagreement to rest and the
U.S. withdrew from the agreement.

According
to a piece in
Rand.com, Trump withdrew the U.S. from the agreement “despite a
lack of evidence that Iran is violating the agreement. To the
contrary, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has verified Iran’s
compliance numerous times.” The article continues by saying,
“the implications of this decision could be disastrous for the
Middle East under any conceivable scenario.”

A piece in
the British Independent bluntly
claims that:

“The
president’s foreign policy has so far been marked by a significant
ratcheting of tensions with Iran, driven by his administration’s
noted friendliness towards Israel,
which opposes the [Iran nuclear] deal.”

According
to a report from
August 2018 by the IAEA,
the International Atomic Energy Agency:

“Since
Implementation Day, the Agency has been verifying and monitoring the
implementation by Iran of its nuclear-related commitments under the
JCPOA.” The report states that among other things:

“Since
16 January, 2016 [JCPOA Implementation Day], the Agency has verified
and monitored Iran’s implementation of its nuclear-related
commitments in accordance with the modalities set out in the JCPOA.”

The
report states clearly that Iran was and continues to be compliant in
all areas of the agreement. All the other countries that are
signatories to the agreement remain committed to it, and they all
insisted that a U.S. withdrawal was a mistake. Only one person
insisted the U.S. must withdraw, and that is Benjamin Netanyahu, and
he is the one person whose claims President
Trump decided to accept. Once again, the United States had nothing to
gain and everything to lose from the withdrawal and once again
Netanyahu personally gained political strength as the sole voice to
which the president of the United States listens.

UNRWA

The
United States can see no benefit whatsoever in denying UNRWA funding;
yet this is what the Trump administration decided to
do. The very agency responsible for providing relief, albeit
inadequate, to the refugees of Palestine was receiving $300 million
per year, which is a drop in the bucket in terms of relief and of
course in terms of the U.S. government’s total budget. In an
open letter to
Palestine refugees and UNRWA staff, dated September 1, 2018, Pierre
Krähenbühl, UNRWA Commissioner-General, writes,

“The
need for humanitarian action … in the case of Palestine refugees,
was caused by forced displacement, dispossession, loss of homes and
livelihoods, as well as by statelessness and occupation. … [T]he
undeniable fact remains that they have rights under international law
and represent a community of 5.4 million men, women and children who
cannot simply be wished away.”

“The
attempt to make UNRWA somehow responsible for perpetuating the crisis
is disingenuous at best,” the commissioner said, responding
to claims made
by Netanyahu that “UNRWA is an organization that perpetuates the
problem of the Palestinian refugees.” Netanyahu also stated that
UNRWA “perpetuates the narrative of the so-called ‘right of
return,’” which the state of Israel fears — and therefore,
according to Netanyahu, “UNRWA must disappear.”

According
to The
New York Times,
this move was pushed hard by Jared Kushner, Trump’s son-in-law, “as
part of a plan to compel Palestinian politicians to drop demands for
many of those refugees to return.” The right of the refugees
to return is enshrined in UN Resolution
194,
and one wonders why the U.S. should object to Palestinian demand for
return of the refugees to their homes? Once again this is a gift to
Netanyahu, who wants to see the refugee issue disappear.

PLO
Mission

A
product of the Oslo Accords, the PLO mission in Washington is the
de-facto embassy of Palestine, the face and the voice of the
Palestinian Authority in the U.S. Now, almost exactly on the 25th
anniversary of the signing of the Accords, the Trump administration
announces the closing of the mission. It could have come as no
surprise when Netanyahu, who fiercely opposed the
Accords, applauded the
U.S. administration decision. This was yet one more insignificant
step for the U.S., and one giant gift to Benjamin Netanyahu.
