[ePalestine] VIDEO: Israel’s reply to a non-violent protest INSIDE Israel

Dear Friends:

This is from the Israeli licensed march of Palestinian families at the old destroyed arab village of Safurye.  About half way through the clip CNN’s own Ben Welderman gets harassed too and barks back.  If this is how Israel treats Palestinians who are citizens of Israel you can only imagine how it treats Palestinians that they occupy.

Remember, this demo was licenced by the Israeli authorities!

The footage on the You Tube link below, taken in the Galilee at a demonstration of Nakba victims who are Palestinian citizens of Israel, along with their Israeli supporters, shows the Israeli Police behaving like the storm-troopers that they are. (Some people will object to my use of the metaphor "storm-trooper". What do they say? "Crowd control officers behaving overly aggressively"? Sorry, that won’t do.) The Police unit called "Border Guard" is a specialized unit used to suppress the Palestinian people’s legitimate struggle, using various methods of provocation and brutality. There will be no peace in Israel-Palestine until all the specialized anti-Palestinian armed organizations are disbanded.   

Note MK Muhammad Barakeh doing his duty by ascertaining the names of those fellow demonstrators who were seized by the Police.

WORDS, WORDS, WORDS

“No Settlement can be just and complete if recognition is not accorded to the right of the Arab refugee to return to the home from which he has been dislodged… It would be an offence against the principles of elemental justice if these innocent victims of the conflict were denied the right to return to their homes while Jewish immigrants flow into Palestine, and indeed, offer the threat of permanent replacement of the Arab refugees who have been rooted in the land for centuries.”  – U.N. Mediator for Palestine, Count Folk Bernadotte, September 16th, 1948

"I will never accept a solution that is based on their return to Israel, any number… I will not agree to accept any kind of Israeli responsibility for the refugees. Full stop. It is a moral issue of the highest level. I don’t think that we should accept any kind of responsibility for the creation of this problem."  – Ehud Olmert, Israeli Prime Minister, March 30th, 2008

BUSH GO HOME,

Sam
