The flawed ‘peace process’ the Madrid con­fer­ence start­ed en­abled and so­lid­i­fied the Is­raeli oc­cu­pa­tion of Pales­tine.

Is­rael’s des­ig­na­tion of six Pales­tin­ian NGOs as ‘ter­ror­ist’ seeks to un­der­mine the Pales­tin­ian strug­gle for free­dom.

No out­come from an Is­raeli court can ever be con­sid­ered fair or le­git­i­mate.

As their vi­o­lence reg­u­lar­ly demon­strates, PA se­cu­ri­ty forces are noth­ing but sub­con­trac­tors of the Is­raeli regime.

Sanc­tions are used to pun­ish those who brazen­ly vi­o­late in­ter­na­tion­al law. So why is Is­rael not sanc­tioned yet?

The grass­roots cam­paign unit­ed Pales­tini­ans in re­sis­tance and turned the world’s at­ten­tion to Is­rael’s oc­cu­pa­tion.

Is­raeli forces are us­ing a ‘crowd con­trol’ weapon with which they col­lec­tive­ly pun­ish Pales­tini­ans for protest­ing.

There is much rea­son to be­lieve the Pales­tin­ian elec­tions sched­uled for lat­er this year will nei­ther be free nor fair.

Is­rael is re­fus­ing to pro­vide the vac­cine to the mil­lions of Pales­tini­ans it is force­ful­ly rul­ing over.

The in­ter­na­tion­al com­mu­ni­ty and its weak con­dem­na­tions will not help Pales­tini­ans. It is time for a new strat­e­gy.
