S ince the creation of Israel in 1948 by Western Powers, the Zionist leaders of the Jewish entity have embarked on a criminal policy of fractionating the Palestinian people. Hundreds of thousands of Palestinians were forced at gunpoint to leave their land to the newly arrived Jews, and hundreds of thousands of Palestinians were forced to live in separate ghettos. The purpose was and is still the complete fragmentation of Palestinian society and the removal of the Palestinian identity.

Before the creation of Israel, Jews and Arab Muslims have lived together for centuries, from Palestine to Iraq, Turkey to Morocco and Spain, both communities coexisted peacefully. In fact, recent scientific evidence shows that Palestinians and ancient Hebrew tribes in Palestine are genetically related. The “Arabs' opposition to Zionism wasn't based on ‘anti-Semitism’ but rather on a totally reasonable fear of the dispossession of their people”. It is Israel’s terror of ethnic cleansing and the occupation of Palestinian land that is the root cause. The Zionist cliché of “a Land without the People, for a People without the Land” is completely false. Before Palestine is destroyed by the terror of Zionism, it was populated by Palestinians. There were Muslims, Christians and a small minority of Palestinian Jews coexisting together.

More than 500 Palestinian villages and towns have been destroyed together with Palestine history. As Israeli journalist Gideon Levi wrote, “the coastal plain, between Jaffa and Gaza was the scene of total ethnic cleansing”. Today, Levi noted, “not one Palestinian village or town remains in tact”, and most of Jewish settlements are built on the ruins of once Palestinian homes. Some 800,000 Palestinians have been forced by armed Jewish terrorist squads to leave Palestine to neighbouring countries. With every new Israeli aggression their numbers increased. There are some 4 million Palestinians languishing in overcrowded refugee camps in Lebanon, Jordan, Syria and Egypt. They are hoping that one day Western powers will force Israel to allow them to return to their homeland. That right “enshrined in international law, notably in U.N. Resolution 194 of 11 December, 1948 and reconfirmed several times since then”.

During more than five decades of Israeli-initiated terror, Jewish terrorist death squads and the Israeli Army have massacred thousands of Palestinian men, women and children. Tens of thousands of Palestinians, including children are imprisoned illegally without charges by the Israeli authorities in specially built concentration camps in today’s Israel.

The other half of the Palestinian population is the 4 million Palestinians who live in Occupied Palestine (Gaza Strip and the West Bank) and Israel. Palestinians living in Occupied Palestine are enduring the daily brutal and inhumane treatment of the Israeli Army and its offshoots, the heavily armed fascist settlers. Gaza and the West Bank are illegally occupied since 1967 despite UN demands for Israel to withdraw. Even Israel’s High Court of Justice ruled in 2005 that, “Judea and Samaria [West Bank] and the Gaza area[s] are lands seized during warfare, and are not part of Israel”, and that the continued construction of illegal settlements is a violation of international law. {mosgoogle right}

Further, there are over a million Palestinians living in Israel with no rights to own land. In Israel 93% of the land of the State of Israel is reserved in law exclusively for Jewish settlement, cultivation and development, an Apartheid system reminiscent to that of former South Africa. The only difference between Israel’s Apartheid and South Africa’s Apartheid is that Israel’s Apartheid is not legislated and less visible on the surface. The “absence of petty apartheid is there in order to veil and cover a good deal, the apartheid at the core of the system, and the war crimes perpetrated by the Israeli Army”, said the Palestinian-Jew Dr. Uri Davis of the University of Durham in the UK . “The core is the same in both systems”, added Dr. Davis. In fact, Israel’s Apartheid is more racist and wicked the South Africa’s Apartheid. Israel’s Apartheid is an amalgamation of Zionism and fascism.

The building of the Apartheid Wall – d eclared illegal by the International Court of Justice in The Hague – on Palestinian lands is used to continue the same criminal policy of land theft and fractionation of the Palestinian people. “ There is no path for man or beast. Large tracts of fertile land stand marooned, and forcibly abandoned, their owners denied access … Olives trees harvested for centuries, their upturned roots now bared to the sky, plants and herbs long used in traditional Palestinian cuisine wither in the dry grass”, wrote Christine Lane of Women's of International League for Peace & Freedom .

The 600 kilometres long and 8 meters high Wall runs 15 kilometres deep into the West Bank to encircle and transfer clusters of illegal Israeli colonies into Israel. After its completion, the Wall will encircle, divide and isolate the Palestinians from each other, and from their land. It will confiscate vital Palestinian water aquifers and chunks of arable Palestinian land and put them in the hand of Israeli Jews . According to B’Tselem, the Israeli Information Centre for Human Rights in the Occupied Territories, the wall will infringe upon the rights of over 800,000 people, including 200,000 Palestinian residents of East-Jerusalem who will be cut off from the West Bank. 210,000 Palestinians will be trapped inside 67 villages inside the Wall’s radius, and any home within a 35 meters distance will be demolished. The Wall is built with U.S. taxpayers’ money and assistance from the World Bank despite the International Court ruling against such assistance to facilitate its existence.
