Signs in West Bank
Anyone who has traveled in the West Bank has seen the red signs above, warning Israeli travelers, many of them settlers, not to enter Area A. Scott Roth explains why these signs demonstrate apartheid:
On the most basic level it shows apartheid because the effective overlords of the place (Israelis) have created a legal separation. It is illegal for Israelis to enter into Area A. On a different level it instills the notion into Israelis that it would be life threatening to enter Area A even if it were legal to do so. It reinforces the notion of separation (hafrada) and why it’s necessary – they want to kill us.
Today Ofer Neiman sent out these photos of Israeli women amending the signs, under the heading, “Israeli activists post civilian zone, no entry to the army signs…”
Good for them!
Except that the English translation on the signs of amakin filastiniyya is wrong. These are not ‘Palestinian settlements’. They are ‘Palestinian places.’ Inded the whole area on which these signs are erected is Palestinian… Why don’t they say simply, ‘You are welcome in our country, Palestine’??
Gideon Levy has a big article up at ha’aretz called ‘the israeli patriot ‘s final refuge: boycott”
Israel ‘s economy will not manage sanctions. The game is getting very interesting .
WITHOUT ISRAEL THERE WOULD BE NO CELL PHONES, COMPUTERS, ELECTRICITY OR SEX
The TEN Israeli Likud propaganda items that Hasbara trolls are required to blog :
1. That the 3/4 million Arabs forced to flee in 1948 after the massacre in the Palestinian village of Deir Yassin by Menacham Begin’s Irgun terrorists, all left their assets, houses, farms and olive groves, ‘voluntarily’.
2. There is no such entity as a ‘Palestinian Arab’ and Palestine itself was ‘a land without people for a people without land’
3. The US$6 billion given to Israel every year is not a gift from the American tax payer because one half is used to purchase US made fighter planes and munitions which gives work to American factories
4. All criticisms of Israeli violence and violations of international law are anti-Semitic rants
5. All those many thousands of Jews around the world who are horrified at the actions of the Israeli state, are ‘self-hating’
6. Without the essential contribution of the Israeli state, civilisation would collapse as there would be no cell phones, Uzi guns, computer software, diamond rings, oranges, electricity or sex
7. All the land between the river and the sea belongs to Israel by divine right
8. The Israeli army is the finest in the world although it has never yet engaged with a properly trained and equipped fighting force complete with F16 fighter aircraft, helicopter gunships and chemical weapons
9. Israelis possess an invisible character trait that makes them innately superior to all other people
10. The killing of 91 people in the atrocity perpetrated in the King David Hotel, Jerusalem, terrorist attack of 1946, by the Irgun bombers of future prime minister, Menachem Begin, was the work of ‘freedom fighters’ as was the massacre of Palestinian villagers in Deir Yassin.
This is marketing terroreeesm designed to destroy Israel.
How dare these self hating Jews speak the truth.
