Apartheid Israel violation of Palestinian Human Rights The invasion, occupation, theft, genocide, lying and race-based State of Israel comprehensively violates all basic human rights of the Indigenous Occupied Palestinian People as set out below with explanations in square brackets appended to the UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The General Assembly, Proclaims this Universal Declaration of Human Rights as a common standard of achievement for all peoples and all nations, to the end that every individual and every organ of society, keeping this Declaration constantly in mind, shall strive by teaching and education to promote respect for these rights and freedoms and by progressive measures, national and international, to secure their universal and effective recognition and observance, both among the peoples of Member States themselves and among the peoples of territories under their jurisdiction. Article 1. [1.5 million Israeli Palestinians suffer race-based Apartheid-style laws (race-based ID, marriage and social participation restrictions as in Nazi Germany and Apartheid South Africa); ditto 4 million Occupied Palestinians who are still abusively imprisoned in West Bank and Gaza “Bantustans” (“Concentration Camps”, “Prisons”) in an over 40 year imprisonment without charge or trial and in gross violation of International Law and the 1968 UN Security Council Resolution 252 ; 7 million Indigenous Palestinian refugees are denied even their own property and residence in their own land]. Article 2. [See #1; in addition while the Jewish Israelis (5.5 million) have an ostensible Western-style democracy, the 1.5 million Indigenous Palestinian Israelis, about 20% of the population of Israel, are represented by 2 major Arab parties in the Knesset which hold 7 seats (6% of the total of 120) – however, Israel has now banned these parties, the 4 million Occupied Palestinians had elections under Occupier guns in 2006 that gave Hamas an overwhelming victory with 76 seats as compared to Fatah’s 43 out of a total of 132 – however, Israel arrested many Hamas MPs, tried to kill them in the 2008-2009 Gaza Atrocity, declared Hamas to be ”terrorists” and only deals with the minority Fatah party (followed in this by the US, UK, the EU and racist White Australia)]. Article 3. [See #1; in addition, post-invasion excess deaths in the Occupied Palestinian Territory total 0.3 million; post-invasion under-5 year old infant deaths total 0.2 million; 3,000 Occupied Palestinian under-5 year old infants die each year , 2,400 (80%) avoidably due to war criminal Occupier non-provision of life-sustaining food and medical requisites unequivocally demanded of Occupiers by Articles 55 and 56 of the Geneva Convention. Israel has been blockading and bombing what the Catholic Church describes as the Gaza “concentration camp” holding 1.5 million inmates; in December 2008-January 2009 Israel killed 1,300 Gazans by shelling and bombing as reprisals for zero (0) Israeli deaths from Gaza rockets in the preceding year, an atrocity conducted against one of the most densely populated parts of the world by naval and tank shelling and air force high explosive and phosphorus bombs]. Article 4. [See #1 and #2; the Occupied Palestinian Territory has been illegally occupied for over 40 years by Israel; the Occupied Palestinians have been deprived of all Human Rights and are essentially “slaves” whose “job” is to validate the continuing, “terror hysteria-based” illegal occupation of all of the Holy Land plus part of Syria by Israel]. Article 5. [Abusive imprisonment without charge or trial of Occupied Palestinians for over 40 years in “Bantustans”; policing of these Concentration Camps not by armed police (as in Apartheid South Africa) but by the Israeli military using civilian targeting naval, aerial and land bombardment. In the last week of December 2008 and first 3 weeks of 2009 , Israel “punished” the Gaza Concentration Camp by aerial, tank and naval bombardment, killing 1,300 Gazans in 4 weeks as an indiscriminate reprisal for 28 Israelis killed by Gazan rockets and mortars over 8 years, a death ratio of 15, 50% greater than that ordered by Adolph Hitler in March 1944 and executed by Nazi German troops in the Ardeatine Caves Massacre in Italy – 335 Italians shot in reprisal for the immediately prior deaths of 33 Nazi German soldiers (death ratio 10). Indeed these current Israeli “reprisals” killed 1,300 Gaza Palestinians as ostensible reprisals for zero (0) Israeli deaths from rockets in the preceding year, this giving a “reprisals death ratio” of 1,300/ 0 = infinity, an horrendous statement of remorseless, genocidal racism on the part of Israel ]. Article 6. [Israel rejects the authority of the International Criminal Court; ignores UN Security Council Resolution 252 and other UN Resolutions, rejects decisions of the International Court of Justice over the notorious Wall that is akin to the Berlin Wall and the Warsaw Ghetto wall, and refuses entry to the Occupied Palestinian Territory of medical supplies and of the UN Special Rapporteur on the Occupied Palestinian Territory Representative, outstanding Jewish American law professor Professor Richard Falk. 1.5 million Israeli Palestinians are horrendously discriminated against by race-based, Nazi-style Apartheid laws (see #1); 4 million Occupied Palestinians have no human rights as specified by Articles 1-30 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights]. Article 7.
[See #1-6; the 4 million Palestinian West Bank and Gaza Concentration Camp inmates have no protection from law from horrendous Israeli violence and other abuses]. Article 8. [See #1-7]. Article 9. [See #1-8; 4 million Palestinian West Bank and Gaza Concentration Camp inmates are held in shocking conditions without charge, trial or basic human rights (now for over 40 years); 7 million Palestinian refugees, 4.3 million registered with the UN]. Article 10. [See # 1-9]. Article 11. (2) No one shall be held guilty of any penal offence on account of any act or omission which did not constitute a penal offence, under national or international law, at the time when it was committed. Nor shall a heavier penalty be imposed than the one that was applicable at the time the penal offence was committed. [See #1-10; thousands of Occupied Palestinians imprisoned by Israel in high security prisons; 4 million Palestinian West Bank and Gaza Concentration Camp inmates are held in shocking conditions without charge, trial or basic human rights]. Article 12. [See #1-11 for absence of protection for Occupied Palestinians of properly constituted law for anything – they are subject to collective punishment by violent death without any legal proceeding anywhere; their overwhelmingly democratically-elected representatives are imprisoned, hunted down and defamed as “terrorists” by Israel (with the complicity of the “democratic Nazi” states of the Western media, namely the US, the UK, the EU and Australia)]. Article 13. (2) Everyone has the right to leave any country, including his own, and to return to his country. [Occupied Palestinians are forbidden freedom of movement and residence within their Homeland, Palestine, and also within the Occupied Palestinian Territory; 7 million Indigenous Palestinian refugees are forbidden to return to their country and their property; movement is blocked by military-guarded roadblocks, the Wall, barbed wire, and Jews-only highways]. Article 14. (2) This right may not be invoked in the case of prosecutions genuinely arising from non-political crimes or from acts contrary to the purposes and principles of the United Nations. [Palestinian refugees represent the single largest group of refugees in the world and are forbidden by Israeli to return to their Homeland in gross violation of International Law; Palestinian refugees in Zionist-run Holy Land are horribly abused in their own land by Israel]. Article 15. (2) No one shall be arbitrarily deprived of his nationality nor denied the right to change his nationality. [Israeli Indigenous Palestinians have been forced to adopt the race-specific nationality of their colonial Occupiers who are still engaged in horrendous violence and genocide against their fellow Indigenous Palestinians. Occupied Palestinians have been denied a nation and hence a nationality by Zionist colonialists]. Article 16. (2) Marriage shall be entered into only with the free and full consent of the intending spouses. (3) The family is the natural and fundamental group unit of society and is entitled to protection by society and the State. [Israeli Laws prohibit Jewish Israelis or Palestinian Israelis from marrying Occupied Palestinians – an utterly obscene and offensive law reminiscent of Nazi and Apartheid South African laws] . Article 17. (2) No one shall be arbitrarily deprived of his property. [7 million Palestinians have been deprived of their property, land and indeed right of residence in their own country. Israel rejects UN Security Council Resolution 252 that demands return of land and property seized after the illegal occupation of the Occupied Palestinian Territory by the State of Israel]. Article 18. [Muslim and Christian Palestinians are routinely forbidden by Israel to attend worship in Jerusalem, one of the holiest places for Muslims and Christians] . Article 19. [The 2 major Arab parties representing 1.5 million Indigenous Palestinian Israelis have been banned by the Jewish Israeli-majority Apartheid Israel. Hamas was overwhelmingly democratically elected in the 2006 Occupied Palestinian elections held under Occupier guns (Hamas 76, Fatah 43, total seats 132). Apartheid Israel and many of its Western backers have declared Hamas a “terrorist organization”, imprisoned many elected representatives and killed many Hamas officials]. Article 20. (2) No one may be compelled to belong to an association. [See #19; major Arab parties banned in Israel; the majority party in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, Hamas, has also been outlawed by Israel and its racist, anti-Arab anti-Semitic US, UK, EU and Australian backers. Indigenous Palestinian Israelis live in a race-specific state under race-specific laws]. Article 21. (2) Everyone has the right of equal access to public service in his country. (3) The will of the people shall be the basis of the authority of government; this will shall be expressed in periodic and genuine elections which shall be by universal and equal suffrage and shall be held by secret vote or by equivalent free voting procedures. [see #19 & #20; Occupied Palestinians are denied even democratic self-rule under Occupation; Indigenous Palestinian Israelis are now denied parliamentary representation through the banning of their 2 major Parties]. Article 22. [Occupied Palestinians are being deliberately starved and deprived with consequent huge avoidable death, especially of infants. It is estimated that 2,400 under-5 year old Occupied Palestinians die avoidably from deprivation each year (80% of the 3,000 annual infant deaths) and that about 4,300 Occupied Palestinians die avoidably each year from deprivation and deprivation-exacerbated disease. Hamas, the key organization involved in social services to the Occupied Palestinians, has been banned by Israel and its racist Western backers as a “terrorist” organization]. Article 23. (2) Everyone, without any discrimination, has the right to equal pay for equal work. (3) Everyone who works has the right to just and favourable remuneration ensuring for himself and his family an existence worthy of human dignity, and supplemented, if necessary, by other means of social protection. (4) Everyone has the right to form and to join trade unions for the protection of his interests. [Occupied Palestine unemployment is very high and Occupied Palestinian employment in various areas is restricted or prevented by blockade and other Israeli violence; Indigenous Palestinian Israelis have restricted employment due to Zionist and restrictive Apartheid Laws]. Article 24. [Occupied Palestinians are, for example, forbidden to go to the beaches of their own country that are part of Israel proper. Even a family that went to the beach in the Gaza Concentration Camp was all killed (except for a surviving daughter) by deliberate Israeli naval shelling and Gazans are forbidden from fishing for food in boats]. Article 25. (2) Motherhood and childhood are entitled to special care and assistance. All children, whether born in or out of wedlock, shall enjoy the same social protection. [See #22. Occupied Palestinians have no rights and are horribly deprived (e.g. see shocking UNICEF, WHO and UN Population Division statistics); this is reflected in huge avoidable mortality (post-invasion excess deaths in the Occupied Palestinian Territory total 0.3 million, post-invasion under-5 year old infant deaths total 0.2 million, 3,000 Occupied Palestinian under-5 year old infants die each year, 2,400 (80%) avoidably, and 4,300 Occupied Palestinians die avoidably each year due to deprivation and deprivation-exacerbated disease)]. Article 26. (2) Education shall be directed to the full development of the human personality and to the strengthening of respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms. It shall promote understanding, tolerance and friendship among all nations, racial or religious groups, and shall further the activities of the United Nations for the maintenance of peace. (3) Parents have a prior right to choose the kind of education that shall be given to their children. [Occupied Palestinians live in extreme poverty and their children suffer acute trauma and deprivation in all areas including education; see UNICEF summation]. Article 27. (2) Everyone has the right to the protection of the moral and material interests resulting from any scientific, literary or artistic production of which he is the author. [See # 26]. Article 28. [See #1-#27. Occupied Palestinians are denied human rights as set out in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights]. Article 29. (2) In the exercise of his rights and freedoms, everyone shall be subject only to such limitations as are determined by law solely for the purpose of securing due recognition and respect for the rights and freedoms of others and of meeting the just requirements of morality, public order and the general welfare in a democratic society. (3) These rights and freedoms may in no case be exercised contrary to the purposes and principles of the United Nations. [See # 1-28; Occupied Palestinians are denied all human rights as set out in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights]. Article 30. [As outlined above Israel has violated all Articles of the UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights in relation to 4 million Occupied Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza Concentration Camps/Bantustans and many of the rights of Indigenous Palestinian Israeli “second class citizens” who are subject to race-based Apartheid laws and the continuing and articulated Israeli threat of further genocide]. CONCLUSIONS This analysis demonstrates that Israel comprehensively robs Occupied Palestinians of all human rights as set out in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights as well as violating many of the rights of Indigenous Palestinian Israeli “second class citizens”. 50% of the Palestinians are children and 75% women and children. Anyone who knowingly ignores, denies, minimizes, excuses, obfuscates, advocates, supports or is otherwise complicit in the gross abuse of women and children (or indeed of anyone) as perpetrated by Apartheid Israel has crossed the line separating decent humanity from Nazi-style barbarism. Zionists obscenely and falsely use the Jewish Holocaust (5-6 million killed, 1 in 6 dying from deprivation) to justify their gross abuse of Palestinian human rights in the name of “security” (yet “airport level” Holy Land security is readily achievable – and indeed is already substantially in place - with bipartisan and international involvement; thus the “annual death rate” from Gaza rockets is 0.5 Israeli deaths per million per year, about the same as that of rapist husbands killed by raped wives. The core messages from the Jewish Holocaust are “zero tolerance for racism”, “never again to anyone” and “bear witness” – fundamental messages grossly violated by the Zionists and their Western supporters in their egregiously racist, continuing occupations, invasions, mass murder, genocide and lying. Decent people successfully applied Sanctions and Boycotts against US-, UK-, White Australia- and Apartheid-Israel-backed Nazi-style Apartheid South Africa for its egregious racism – and should similarly apply intra-national and international boycotts against US-, UK-, EU- and White Australia-backed, Nazi-style Apartheid Israel and its racist backers in order to stop its genocidal violence, illegal occupations and gross abuses of Humanity. Do your bit – inform everyone you can. Zionists must be sidelined in all decent societies - just as the Nazis, neo-Nazis and KKK have been removed by public disgust from public life. The crimes of the racist Zionists go beyond those inflicted on the Palestinians, Arabs and Muslims – indeed their most vile crime is egregious ends-justify-the-means Goebbelsian lying that has created an acutely dangerous, human rights-violating Culture of Lying and Spin in the Western media.

1. 24-01-2009 10:54 Humnan rights means not firing rockets at children and the elderly the way Palestinians under Hamas have been doing over and over and over... Guest 2. 24-01-2009 12:53 Zionist Israeli "terror hysteria" LIES Absurd Zionist propaganda, lying and obfuscation must be resolutely dealt with - it not only supports horrendous, Nazi-style violence , occupation and mass murder in Palestine and other Arab or Muslim countries, but also sustains a racist Culture of Lying in the Western Murdochracies that acutely threatens the whole World with horrendous Climate Genocide consequences of Zionist-backed pro-coal, neo-con and Bush-ite climate scepticism and profligate greenhouse gas (GHG) pollution (pro-Zionist US and its lackey racist, pro-Zionist, Bush-ite, climate criminal and war criminal White Australia being among the worst culprits). Obviously the firing of ineffective rockets by inmates of the Israeli Gaza Concentration Camp is WRONG, the more so because of the horrendous death and destruction Apartheid Israel rains down on Gaza in reprisals. In the latest incident 1,300 Gazans have been killed by Israelis in reprisals for ZERO (0) Israeli deaths from rockets in the preceding year - a \"reprisals death ratio\" of 1,300/ 0 = INFINITY as compared to that of 10 ordered by Nazi Adolph Hitler and carried out with Nazi execution in the Rome Ardeatine Caves on 24 March 1944 of 335 Italian men and boys in reprisal for the deaths of 33 Nazi Germans at the Hands of Italian partisans the day before. Apartheid Israel claims that its bombing is in retaliation for Gaza missile attacks - but the annual homicide rate per million from Gaza missiles (0.5) roughly equals that by raped or beaten wives (0.5-1.0). Further, the 21st century \"annual homicide rate\" in “deaths per million of population” is 0.5 (Israelis from Gaza missiles), 15 (Israelis by Israelis), 56 (Americans), 100 (Americans by guns), 164 (Palestinians killed violently by Israelis), 200 (African-Americans), 473 (citizens of Detroit, Michigan, USA), 902 (Palestinian non-violent deaths through war criminal, Geneva Convention-violating Israeli-imposed deprivation) and 1,066 ( Palestinian violent deaths plus non-violent deaths from Israeli-imposed deprivation) (see: Gaza missiles homicide rate equals that by raped Wives ). Following the logic of obscene, racist Apartheid Israel \"terror hysteria\" assertions over Gaza rockets, should Apartheid Israel bomb Israeli women\'s refuges or bomb Tel Aviv (\"annual homicide rate\" 15 per million per year i.e. 30 times that due to Gaza missiles)? Or should the US air force, navy and army bombards African-American suburbs of Detroit , Michigan (\"annual homicide rate\" 473 per million per year i.e. about 1,000 times that due to Gaza missiles)? Yet this absurd Apartheid Israeli \"terror hysteria\" LIE is blindly accepted by the racist, anti-Arab anti-Semitic, Islamophobic, holocaust-ignoring, racist Zionist (RZ)-beholden Mainstream media of the Western Murdochracies. Guest 3. 25-01-2009 17:32 morality If Hamas continues to have in its charter the destruction of Israel, then all the noise about human rights is simply meaningless. As they do, so unto them it will be done Guest 4. 25-01-2009 19:48 morality those who disagree please get your history and infornation straight first... You're making a fool out of your self... Guest 5. 25-01-2009 20:31 Uncle Tom Obama backs Zionist LIES Post #3 is an absurd and falsely-based hypothetical. Hamas wants the end of a race-based Apartheid Israel - as do over 6 billion other decent anti-racist human beings on the planet - just as all decent human beings wanted an end to the Nazi obscenity of US-, UK-, White Australia- and Apartheid Israel-backed Apartheid South Africa. People dissenting from this anti-racist position are the racist Europeans, racist Anglos and racist Zionists (RZs) brainwashed by racist, holocaust-ignoring, racist Zionist-beholden mainstream media. Further, as perceived by the Catholic Church and others, Gaza - the last refuge of overwhelmingly democratically elected Hamas (76 Hamas seats, 43 Fatah seats, 132 total seats in the 2006 elections held under racist Zionist (RZ) guns )- is a \"concentration camp\". A blockaded, devastated Israeli-guarded Gaza concentration camp armed with hand guns and demonstrably inefective rockets (28 Israeli deaths from Gaza missiles in 8 years) is going to destroy Apartheid Israel (which has 200 nuclear weapons and one of the biggest and best armed military in the world)? \"As they do, so unto them it will be done\" hardly applies to the present situation in which in 22 days Apartheid Israel killed 1,400 Gazans as reprisals for ZERO (0) Israelis killed by rockets in the preceding year. The illegal, war criminal, Nazi-style Apartheid Israel occupation of the Occupied Palestinian Territory can be simply be terminated by (1) Obama saying \"Clear out or lose aid\" accompanied by (2) US, EU and UN absolute guarantees of \"total airport level security\" for the currently race-based Apartheid Israel (and for the present Israeli killing fields of the Occupied Palestinian Territory Israeli Concentration Camps for Indigenous Palestinians) . Unfortunately this will not happen because in his first week in office Obama has shown himself to be an Uncle Tom beholden to the racist White US Establishment and to the traitorous, racist Zionist (RZ) Lobby who have a traitorous primary allegiance to what Jewish Israeli Professor Avi Shlaim (Oxford University) calls the nuclear, state terrorist , rogue state of Israel (see: Jewish Israeli Oxford Professor Avi Shlaim: How Israel brought Gaza to the brink of humanitarian catastrophe; see also Uncle Tom Obama supports Afghan Genocide & Racist Zionist (RZ) Apartheid Israeli Occupation of Palestine ). Of course item #2 (security) has ALREADY been established by Apartheid Israel - thus according to Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs data Gaza missile attacks - desperate, wrong and utterly counterproductive crimes - have killed 28 Israelis since September 2000, this corresponding to an \"annual homicide rate\" in \"deaths per million of population per year\" of 0.5 versus 0.5 (rapist husbands killed by raped wives), 1.0 (violent husbands killed by battered wives), 15 (Israelis by Israelis), 56 (Americans), 100 (Americans by guns), 164 (Palestinians killed violently by Israelis), 200 (African-Americans), 473 (citizens of Detroit, Michigan, USA), 902 (Palestinian non-violent deaths through war criminal, Geneva Convention-violating Israeli-imposed deprivation) and 1,066 ( Palestinian violent deaths plus non-violent deaths from Israeli-imposed deprivation). Uncle Tom Obama is more than simply a cowardly Uncle Tom beholden to the racist Zionists (RZs) (the post-1960s equivalent of the neo-Nazis and the KKK) - he is also LYING about the humanitarian and international law Occupied Palestinian Territory realities. Nazi-style Apartheid Israel out NOW behind the 1967 borders! Who do the Nazi-style racist Zionists (RZs) running Apartheid Israel think they are? Nazi is as Nazi does. If the US under a racist, lying, Uncle Tom Obama fails to stop backing the Israeli Occupation it too should be subject to International Sanctions applying to race-based, Nazi-style Apartheid states like Apartheid Israel. And of course the Nazi-style racist Zionist (RZ), child-killing IDF goons and their controllers and backers should be hunted down, arrested, arraigned, tried and punished where ever they go - there should be no place for these child-killing latter-day Nazis to hide on the Planet.
