“the vision of a free Palestine (from the River to the Sea, where else?) is one of a country in which all people live free as equal citizens under the law.”

“JERUSALEM — After several days of rushing and intense debates, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had his wish come true. He urgently wanted to get the Nation State bill passed into law before the Knesset goes into summer recess on July 22, and for several days now the Knesset committee charged with ironing out the bill was delaying the process with long discussions. Now the law passed 62 to 55 and 2 abstentions. In an almost symbolic act of racism, the Palestinian members of the Knesset were kicked out of the chamber following the vote because of their vocal protests.”

One of the most important achievements of the war of 1967 was making the conquests of 1948 legitimate, and now it was about post-1948 Israel “giving back” or not “giving back” the territories it occupied in 1967. One clear example of that is the well known and totally ignored UN resolution 242, which was passed in November of 1967. It mentions “withdrawal of Israel Armed Forces from territories occupied in the recent conflict;” in other words, the territories captured in 1948, in violation of prior UN resolutions regarding Palestine and regarding the status of Jerusalem, became irrelevant as a result of the 1967 conquests.

“It is obvious that the technological and medical advancements that very early on were made available to the community of Jewish immigrants, was denied to the indigenous Palestinian people. Even though more often than not the distance between the communities of Jewish settlers and indigenous Palestinians is negligible. Yet the access to water and electricity, along with health care and other crucial services always stop along Arab-Jewish lines.”https://ahtribune.com/world/north-africa-south-west-asia/palestine/2347-jerusalem-nabi-saleh.html
