Israel's Continued Assault on Palestinian Rights and Lives

Assault Continues

by Mazin Qumsiyeh

September 8, 2018

The assault on Palestinians continues. Last week 4 homes in Al-Walaja were demolished. Dozens more await demolitions. Israeli occupation forces shot more children posing no treats to soldiers. Israel also offered the  freedom boats hijacked in international waters as they headed to Gaza for sale (an act of piracy).

The US also cut off its obligated contribution to UNRWA and now even its humanitarian few millions to Jerusalem Hospitals was also cut (all at the request of Netanyahu to his puppets in the US administration).

Israel tightened grip on international travelers and denied entry (including volunteers at the museum). US  congress is approving more billions of tax money for Israel including a provision to force NASA to and ensured hijacking of US foreign policy. 25 years have passed since the treasonous Oslo accords (our second Nakba) and no one has yet apologized.

The first leaked excerpt of Al Jazeera's censored film on the Israel Lobby in the U.S. and names Adam Milstein as Canary Mission (propaganda website defaming human rights activists) funder. Al-Jazeera and the  government of Qatar capitulated to the lobby and did not air the documentary! I hope the leaks will force them to air it.

Letter from our friend Benjamin (see also links below that)- anyone interested contact Benjamin directly:

“Hi my name is Benjamin Ladraa and I’m a human rights activist from Sweden. I just walked to Palestine from Sweden spending eleven months on road walking 5000km through thirteen countries. I did this journey in order to raise awareness about the human rights violations in Palestine. Now that i finished the journey I’m planning on doing a speaking tour where i share my experiences from Palestine, talk about the human rights  situation there and about the journey I did. I’m coming to the US in September and will stay until December giving talks and lectures and would very much like to give talks at as many venues as possible. I’m only me  however so I need some help with organizing speaking events. I hope you’re interested and I’d love to meet up when I’m there and do an event with you if possible.”
