IOF troops assault Dr. Barghouthi during anti-wall march in Al-Ma'sara village

BETHLEHEM, (PIC)-- The IOF troops on Friday assaulted Dr. Mustafa Al-Barghouthi, the secretary-general of the national initiative party, and hundreds of protesters during a weekly anti-wall march in the village of Al-Ma'sara in Bethlehem.

Dozens of the national initiative members, citizens, and foreign activists participated in the weekly march to protest the apartheid policy pursued by Israel.

During the protest, Dr. Barghouthi said that whoever believes in the Palestinians' right to return to their land must impose sanctions on the Israeli government to force it to end its settlement expansion and the apartheid system.

The Palestinian partisan leader added that the agreements which some parties talk about were torn up and dumped in a wastebasket by the Israeli occupation, so the fighting over the Palestinian authority is useless especially when the new Israeli premier declares that he will never allow any Palestinian entity to have sovereignty or control over borders, resources, waters and airspace.

In Ramallah, two journalists were wounded and dozens of protesters suffered suffocation when IOF troops fired live bullets and tear gas canisters at the weakly anti-wall protest held yesterday in Bi'lin village on the anniversary of Land Day.

The protesters including foreign activists chanted slogans and carried banners condemning the policy of settlement, apartheid and judaization perused by Israel in the Palestinian occupied lands.

In another context, the IOF troops resumed their night raids in the Bi'lin village, where they stormed the village during the last few days amid intensive gunfire which caused panic among the citizens especially the children.

For its part, the Hebrew radio reported Friday that three Israeli soldiers and one Palestinian protester were slightly injured during the weekly anti-wall protest held in the Ni'lin village in Ramallah.

South of Bethlehem, four Palestinian young men from Beit Fajjar were seriously injured when IOF troops stopped them and severely beat them with their rifle butts without any known reason, according to Palestinian local sources.

In the context of the Israeli settlers' assaults on Palestinians, local sources from Al-Khalil city said that Israeli settlers robbed four Palestinian commercial stores in the market of ancient clothing adjacent to the settlement of Avraham Avinu.

The sources asserted that the Israeli settlers escalated lately their aggressive attacks on Palestinian homes and property in Al-Khalil.

Israel set out its plans for the rest of Palestine after or during Nakhba. Steal, bully, terrorize, kill, starve, whatever it takes to get the Arabs out of there. Quotes and promises to do this abound. BUT NO ONE PAYS ATTENTION!

The "sexy bombing of Gaza, with its lethal beauty" and deadly results, got the attention of the world. But not enough to stop Israeli aggression.

These "little aggressions" of one by one just get ignored by the world as insignificant.

A FEW QUOTES:

Israel will create in the course of the next 10 or 20 years conditions which would attract natural and voluntary migration of the refugees from the Gaza Strip and the west Bank to Jordan. To achieve this we have to come to agreement with King Hussein and not with Yasser Arafat. ~ Yitzhak Rabin, explaining his method of ethnically cleansing the occupied land without stirring a world outcry. (New York Times, 04/04/1983)

It is the duty of Israeli leaders to explain to public opinion, clearly and courageously, a certain number of facts that are forgotten with time. The first of these is that there is no Zionism, colonialization, or Jewish State without the eviction of the Arabs and the expropriation of their lands. The plan is to kill or drive out the Palestinian people using poverty, hunger and war and so allow the Zionists to expand into ‘Greater Israel’. ~ Ariel Sharon

In fact, it matters little what you call it, so long as it is recognized that what Israel intends and is working toward is the erasure of the Palestinian people from the Palestine landscape. Israel most likely does not care about how systematic its efforts at erasure are, or how rapidly they proceed, and in these ways it differs from the Nazis. There are no gas chambers; there is no overriding urgency. Gas chambers are not needed. A round of rockets on a residential housing complex in the middle of the night here, a few million cluster bomblets or phosphorous weapons there can, given time, easily meet the UN definition above.

Children shot to death sitting in school classrooms here, families murdered while tilling their land there; agricultural land stripped and burned here, farmers cut off from their land there; little girls riddled with bullets here, infants beheaded by shell fire there; a little massacre here, a little starvation there; expulsion here, denial of entry and families torn apart there; dispossession is the name of the game. With no functioning economy, dwindling food supplies, medical supply shortages, no way to move from one area to another, no access to a capital city, no easy access to education or medical care, no civil service salaries, the people will die, the nation will die without a single gas chamber. Or so the Israelis hope."

"We'll make a pastrami sandwich of them, ... we'll insert a strip of Jewish settlements in between the Palestinians, and then another strip of Jewish settlements right across the West Bank, so that in 25 years' time, neither the United Nations nor the United States, nobody, will be able to tear it apart." Ariel Sharon

These creatures are determined and nothing will change until someone bigger and stronger stomps them into the hole from whence they crawled. That is the way of bullies. To cry fowl at the slightest insult ~ Bring in the ADL, JDL, AIPAC, Daniel Pipes, ad nauseum ~ but in the meantime, while you distract the world with your cries of abuse, continue your inhumane ways almost right under their noses.

They kill and shoot with impunity in these marches. Look at Tristan Anderson, the many locals who are killed, they don't give a flying fig because they know they can do what they do. But, although the final end is between the individual and Allah, none of my business, I pray that they all find their way to the place in the Talumd they wish to send all goyim. "A special place in hell".
