Apartheid Wall

[RedAnarchist]

Would it be the right thing, for the Palestinians, if someone was to destroy part of or at least seriously damage the apartheid wall?

Nobody but the Israeli Government/Army and the American Governmnet wants that wall to be in existence. It is there only to steal land from the Palestinians and to segregate two peoples.

Would it be the right thing, for the Palestinians, if someone was to destroy part of or at least seriously damage the apartheid wall?

That is like asking if it would be the right thing for a woman to resist her rapist.

And according to E.I., it is already appening. 'Hamas blasted a hole in the wall north of Rafah a few days ago to help people through. Islamic Jihad blasted a hole about a mile down the wall shortly after that.' It is only a matter of time before others follow through and start blasting holes in the wall Israel has built to contain them like cattle in a vast concentration camp.


It is there only to steal land from the Palestinians and to segregate two peoples.

The wall is built on land outside Israel’s borders and incorporates many of the illegal Jewish settlements into Israel while cutting off Palestinian villages and towns from each other. It is another part of the right-wing Zionist regime’s strategic goal of seizing the majority of the occupied West Bank and permanently annexing it to Israel.

Its construction will leave over 1.5 million Palestinians in a ghetto made up of just 42% of the West Bank and would cut them off altogether from East Jerusalem (which the Palestinian Authority wishes to become its capital). Over 200,000 Palestinians would be denied access to employment and social services, and would be forced to move in what amounts to a form of ethnic cleansing. The land lost is often the most fertile and productive.

It is clearly in breach of the Fourth Geneva Convention, which requires humane treatment for people in occupied territories. This is nothing new, of course, Israel repeatedly ignores UN resolutions and has no intention of changing course. Its record of defying the UN far exceeds that of any other member state. Ever since the 1967 war, when Israel seized the West Bank from Jordan and Gaza from Egypt, its illegal occupation of the Palestinians’ land and its policy of collective punishment, deportations, house demolitions, detention without trial, the routine use of torture, curfews, road blocks, and political assassinations have breached every aspect of the Fourth Geneva Convention. Israel's construction of the illegal apartheid wall despite its illegality demonstrates its longstanding flouting of international law.

It's like the berlin wall, but it recieves less press becuase it makes the israelis and as sutch the meircan look bad.
