NO PEACE IN MIDDLE EAST: ISRAEL WANT'S TO ANNEX ALL OCCUPIED PALESTINIAN LAND!
Cartoon by Carlos Latuff
<There was a time when everyone thought that peace was around the corner in the Middle East conflict.
I am referring when Israel’s Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin and PLO Chairman Yasser Arafat signed the Oslo Accords in 1993. The agreement called for the implementation of Palestinian self rule in portions of the West Bank and Gaza Strip over a five year period, along with immediate halt to and gradual removal of Israeli settlements in those areas. There was mutual recognition and everyone was happy. The right wing extremists and settlers were opposed the peace process because Israel would have to give up land back to the Palestinians, so Rabin was assassinated by an extremist. Then the acting Prime Minister Shimon Peres and Yasser Arafat both received the Nobel Peace prize. The right wing Likud party won the elections and things began to change, because the Likud wanted to re-negotiate the Oslo Accords.
It has been 17 years since the Oslo Accords were signed and Peace seems further than ever because of Israel’s Zionist dream to create a state in all of historical Palestine. This has been their aim since Zionism was established in 1897 by Theodore Herzl. If anyone thinks otherwise they are only fooling themselves.
Action speaks louder than words, since 1967 Arab-Israeli War Israel war Israel has built 121 settlements and 102 outposts in occupied Palestinian land, with a growth rate of 4-6% annually that is higher than Israeli society as a whole which is 1.5%.
All were built illegally against international Law and have been condemned by numerous U.N. Security Council Resolutions. There are a total of 462,000 Israeli settlers living in the occupied Palestinian lands. The Palestinians have had to struggle not only against Israel, but also world Zionism which is the backbone of Israel. Israel could not have survived without resources from world Zionism and the Powerful Israeli Lobby which has tremendous influence in the U.S. Senate and Congress.
It is obvious Israel is not interested in any peace process but only to annex all the occupied Palestinian land and drive the Palestinians out. That’s what Israel did in 1948 and is doing now! The theft of Palestinian land the uprooting of Palestinians is now in process with land theft, home demolitions, state terrorism, collective punishment, illegal detentions, ethnic cleansing, and restriction of movement, humanitarian crimes, Bombardments by air, sea and land. Even children are not immune from Israeli crimes.
