I have had enough of those Palestinians. I think the world in general For starters, Palestinians embarked by land, sea and air onto Israel Palestinians are a violent people. Every Palestinian high school Palestinians are making Israeli livelihood miserable. They have set up Israel has a huge potential to be a regional economic hub of tourism As if all of this was not bad enough, for the past 47 years You think it cannot get worse? Well, you\u2019re wrong. Palestinians have Israelis cannot be expected to live like this forever. Something must Israeli civil society has made a call for the world to divest from The time is now to boycott Palestine, divest from Palestine, and apply Sam Bahour is a Palestinian-American http:\/\/bit.ly\/palestinians-must-be-stopped<\/a> <\/em><\/span><\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/ePalestine.ps\/sambahour\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/Photo-IDFSpokesman2528Jun1520142529-1.jpg\")

\nis also fed up with Palestinians. They have gone too far in demonizing Israelis
\nand must be stopped. The international community must act now before it is too
\nlate and Israel is wiped off the map and a second tragedy of historic
\nproportions fall on a significant part of the world\u2019s Jewish population.<\/p>\n
\nand displaced more than half the Jewish population of Israel in 1948. Imagine, more
\nthan half of the population of Israel displaced, forced to live to this day, 66
\nyears later, in squalid refugee camps only hours from their homes. Other than
\nsome faint attempts to fight their way back to their homes in Israel, Israeli
\nrefugees have been \u201cunreasonably reasonable\u201d in accepting their fate, and
\ncontinue to patiently wait for word when they can return home to Israel. This
\nman made tragedy was perpetrated by Palestinians, who continue to this day to
\nstrangulate Jewish citizens of Israel by the use of brute force and economic
\nsuffocation in an attempt to have them voluntarily emigrate elsewhere.<\/p>\n
\ngraduate is forced into mandatory conscription, three years for males and two
\nyears for females. During this military stint, every Palestinian citizen is
\ntrained on the use of weapons and combat methods. Many Palestinians brag about
\nhow they brutalize Jewish Israelis during their military service; some have
\neven posted photos on their Facebook wall of them posing with Israeli corpses
\nor a blindfolded Israeli who was taken prisoner.<\/p>\n
\nmilitary checkpoints in and around major Israeli cities, like Tel Aviv, Haifa, and
\nEilat. Palestinian soldiers stop only Israeli cars, sometimes for hours on end,
\nwhile letting Palestinian registered cars ride through their checkpoints unhindered.
\nWhen an Israeli wants to leave Israel, s\/he must get Palestinian permission
\nbeforehand. If any Israeli gets on the Palestinian blacklist, his\/her ability
\nto leave Israel is impossible. Imagine not being able to leave your own country
\nor being allowed to leave but not to return. Even when Israelis want to travel
\nfrom one Israeli city to another, Palestinians have set up checkpoints, which
\nresemble the border terminals between the US and Canada, with one difference:
\nthe process to pass is one of pure humiliation, more like cattle being pushed
\nthrough caged pathways than passengers crossing a terminal.<\/p>\n
\nand trade, but Palestinians are blocking Israel\u2019s ability to economically
\ndevelop by every means possible. Israelis love technology, but every smartphone
\nin Israel is a dumb phone because Palestinians are refusing to allocate the
\nelectromagnetic spectrum\u2014which they control as part of their occupation of
\nIsrael\u2014required for 3G services to Israeli telecommunications companies. Can
\nyou imagine, those Palestinians are actually refusing to free the airspace
\nabove Tel Aviv to Israelis! It gets worse. Israelis have found a huge natural
\ngas well in Israeli territorial waters, in the sea of Tel Aviv, and the
\nPalestinians are refusing to give Israeli firms access to tap the gas. Even
\nIsraeli fishermen are routinely shot at when fishing in the Mediterranean Sea.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
\nPalestinians have slowly moved their citizens to the hilltops around Israeli
\ncities. The hilltops were first confiscated by the use of force, then Arafat,
\nand now Abbas, send Palestinian security forces to protect the confiscated
\nlands. Once the lands are ready, Palestinians have tapped the huge amounts of
\nfunds that donors have passed to them and used the funds, not to build schools
\nand a health care system, but rather to build permanent housing in these
\nmilitary enclaves around Israeli cities, in order to entice Palestinians from
\nRamallah and Hebron to move to Tel Aviv and other Israeli cities. This is not
\nonly against international law, but defies common sense. How can Palestinians
\nkeep paying lip service to wanting to live in peace with Israelis when they
\nkeep gobbling up more Israeli land and move their population to take up
\nresidence inside Israel?<\/p>\n
\nkidnapped 5,000 Israelis from their homes, about 200 are Israeli children under
\n18 years old, and have locked them into Palestinian jails. These jails that the
\nPalestinians maintain are all built inside Palestinian lands in the West Bank
\nand Gaza. When Israeli mothers want to go visit their loved ones, they must get
\npermission from Palestinian security forces to visit. Hundreds of those 5,000
\nprisoners are being held without charge; the Palestinians deceitfully call it
\nAdministrative Detention. You would think the world would hold these
\nPalestinian jailers accountable, but they haven\u2019t for decades. This is why the
\ntime has come to stop those Palestinians once and for all.<\/p>\n
\nbe immediately done to stop these Palestinians and hold them accountable for
\nthe daily atrocities that they are committing against humanity. Israelis are a
\npeace loving people. They come from a religion that rests on a pillar of social
\njustice. What is being done to them is beyond imagination.<\/p>\n
\nPalestine. Israelis across the political spectrum are referring to how Jews
\naround the world supported the boycott and divestment of Apartheid South Africa,
\nwhich successfully collapsed that racist regime. Jews are pointing to their
\nalways being on the correct side of history, from the US civil rights movement
\nto people\u2019s struggles in Latin America. They now beg the world to act to stop
\nPalestinians before it is too late.<\/p>\n
\nserious sanctions on Palestine until it removes the boot of military occupation
\nfrom the necks of Israelis.<\/p>\n
