We are still in Apartheid land since BDS and EI ,along with some Israeli NGOs, insist on drawing the parallel between South Africa and Israel and seeing in occupied Palestine -exclusively- an example of Apartheid or racist segregation against Palestinians instead of a model of extermination and occupation. No doubt that picturing Israel as an Apartheid State means recognition of the state of Israel even as a racist state .
The last function undertaken by the Popular Struggle Coordination Committee (the PSCC) lead by Mustapha al Barghouthi is what is called “Bab al Shams”, function which consists in having a flow of local and international pro Palestinian activists occupy some confiscated land destined to become a new Israeli settlement. The name Bab al Shams is the title of a Novel written by Lebanese Elias Khoury which literary means “the Sun’s Gate”.
And while the” Sun City” event that is an Anti Apartheid event took place in 1985 initiated by a number of well known musicians against South Africa , the Sun Gate 2013 ( Bab al Shams ) claims to be directed against Israel’s violations.
It is worthwhile mentioning that the BDS that works with PSCC and the Electronic Intifada as well, promote the one state called Israel that will include all occupied territories and will grant equal rights to all its citizens. Thus the occupation is legalized and the problem restricted to that of racial segregation..
Twenty five tents were thus raised with the permission of the Israeli supreme Court in the region of Jericho, and around 250 activists and more started the show that was supposed to include a demonstration of how to bake Pita bread (Arabic bread in Hebrew)and start putting together a library . Of course the Israeli government broke the Supreme Court decision and interrupted the whole event but this should not confuse us as to the identity and the goal of such endeavor that has rallied so many people and became so much famous .
In fact this activity- as innocent as it looks- is not independent of what is going on in the whole region, and the whole thing seems to be an Israeli endeavor since the PSCC works together with one of the biggest Israeli NGOs called “Just Vision” who is promoting widely the event and has representatives all over the world..
Notice also that this Name of “Bab al Shams” is in reality the name of one of the seven Gates that surrounds the city of Damascus’. Seven known gates to Damascus and the “Sharqi Gate” or “Eastern Gate” is the Bab al Shams”or the “Sun’s Gate” because the sun is decorating it. And this is how Syria is present in the event, and this benign looking activity might be no less than a rehearsal for some future activity –designed by Israel also- and targeting Syria after the thugs of the opposition -as Israel hopes- succeed in subduing Damascus. This is how Israel hopes to celebrate the victory of the thugs in “Bab al Shams”.
This is Damascus Gate which Israel and its trolls wish to occupy and control and usurp like Palestine, and this is Bab al Shams, Damascus, where the fate of the Arab cause is being decided, and these are the dubious pro Palestinian NGOs and Arab and world activists through which Israel is acting .
This is Israel , please remain vigil!
