On Apartheid, Genocide, Occupation, Resistance United Nations | The Apartheid Convention “The Apartheid Convention declares that apartheid is a crime against humanity and that ‘inhuman acts resulting from the policies and practices of apartheid and similar policies and practices of racial segregation and discrimination’ are international crimes (art. 1). Article 2 defines the crime of apartheid –‘which shall include similar policies and practices of racial segregation and discrimination as practised in southern Africa’ – as covering ‘inhuman acts committed for the purpose of establishing and maintaining domination by one racial group of persons over any other racial group of persons and systematically oppressing them’. It then lists the acts that fall within the ambit of the crime. These include murder, torture, inhuman treatment and arbitrary arrest of members of a racial group; deliberate imposition on a racial group of living conditions calculated to cause its physical destruction; legislative measures that discriminate in the political, social, economic and cultural fields; measures that divide the population along racial lines by the creation of separate residential areas for racial groups; the prohibition of interracial marriages; and the persecution of persons opposed to apartheid.” -https://legal.un.org/avl/ha/cspca/cspca.html United Nations | Definition of Genocide “The word ‘genocide’ was first coined by Polish lawyer Raphäel Lemkin in 1944 in his book Axis Rule in Occupied Europe. It consists of the Greek prefix genos, meaning race or tribe, and the Latin suffix cide, meaning killing. Lemkin developed the term partly in response to the Nazi policies of systematic murder of Jewish people during the Holocaust, but also in response to previous instances in history of targeted actions aimed at the destruction of particular groups of people. Later on, Raphäel Lemkin led the campaign to have genocide recognised and codified as an international crime.” -https://www.un.org/en/genocide-prevention/definition United Nations | The Question Of Palestine | The 4th Geneva Convention, International Law and Occupation “In addition to its general rules and provisions governing the treatment of civilians, the 4th Geneva Convention sets out rules specific to cases of occupation in Articles 47 through 78. These provisions are parallel to those set out in the Hague Regulations of 1907, which continue to be binding and which must be taken into account in conjunction with the above-mentioned provisions. One such Hague regulation, Article 42, defines occupation as follows: ‘Territory is considered occupied when it is actually placed under the authority of the hostile army.’ Under international law, occupation is considered temporary in nature and involves no transfer of sovereignty. The occupation of territory during war does not confer upon the Occupying Power ‘state authority’ over the population of the occupied territory or over the occupied territory itself. […] One of the major provisions of the 4th Geneva Convention regarding occupation is Article 49, which prohibits the transfer by the occupying Power of its own nationals into the territory it occupies. This article was drafted specifically to prevent colonialization and annexation and to prevent any changes in the character of these territories, a result that inevitably ensues with such transfers. At the same time, the Convention also specifies the point at which its application ceases. In cases where a territory is occupied, the application of international humanitarian law, in particular the 4th Convention, ceases only with the effective end of occupation or with a comprehensive political settlement of the dispute, in accordance with the rules of general international law.” -https://www.un.org/unispal/document/auto-insert-199015/ Resistance Chariots On Fire Somebody Blew Up Israel Oct. 7, 2023 From the river to the sea Palestine will be free Operation Al-Aqsa Flood A tribe flew into Israel Occupied Palestine David versus Goliath Breaking through Israel’s border fence Warriors, weapons in hands Sparing no one, hostage takers The Alliance of Palestinian Forces All willing to die martyrs From the river to the sea Palestine will be free Who the innocent Israel Defense Forces-solider Kibbutz-settler Negev desert Rave music festival-attendee From the river to the sea Palestine will be free Resistance fighters, of Israel’s occupation, of Palestine Breaking through the border fence Dividing Gaza, from the land of Israel Palestinians from their fig, olive, trees Flying powered parachutes, driving bulldozers Pickup trucks, motorcycles, running on foot Into invincible Israel Tearing open Gaza’s walled-in open-air prison The border fence, build by Israel, a Zionist state “Proclaimed by God for Jews to live on the land of Israel” No longer Palestine, but Palestinian refugees From land cultivated centuries From the river to the sea Palestine will be free Israel declares itself an independent state May 14, 1948 500 Palestinian Arab villages bulldozed The U.N. grants Palestinians refugee status Meaning: “The right of return to their homes in Israel” Israel allows every Jew the right to enter what was once Palestine There is no “right of return” for 700,000-800,000 Palestinians Forced from their lands and villages in 1948 By Zionist paramilitary organizations, Israel Defense Forces “Only terrorism, retaliation, will deter the Arabs” “Only Jewish armed force will ensure the Jewish state” Jews vs. the non-Jew world, the world that allowed the Holocaust From the river to the sea Palestine will be free Before the 1947-1948 Arab Israeli civil war The fulfillment of the Zionist dream of ethnic cleansing The creation of the State of Israel The displacement of half of Palestine’s predominantly Arab population The Nakba or Catastrophe for Palestinian Arabs Arab Jew lived in one country Palestine From the river to the sea Palestine will be free Since the 1967 Six Day Arab-Israeli War Israel has expanded its borders Israel Defense Forces, citizens, settlers, raid into the West Bank Palestinians continuous experience of violence, dispossession Occupation, war, daily arrests Israel making “Jerusalem the undivided capital of Israel” Establishing a biblical Greater Israel, settlements in Judea, Samaria The West Bank, Occupied Territories From the river to the sea Palestine will be free Reminiscent of Manifest Destiny European colonization of North America Genocide, extermination, forced relocation Of American Indigenous Nations Israel’s settler colonial war Made in the USA: White phosphorus bombs 2000 lb. bombs Boeing made Joint Direct Attack Munition JDAM guided bomb system Advanced fighter jet aircraft Tanks, artillery, ordinances Israel’s Qualitative Military Edge: QME U.S. policy in the Middle East Used against Palestinians From the river to the sea Palestine will be free Israel Defense Forces have indiscriminately bombed Palestinian cities, Palestinian hospitals, Palestinian libraries Palestinian schools, Palestinian universities Reducing to rubble Palestinian sanctuaries Decimating the densely populated Gaza Strip “U.S.-made weapons facilitated the mass killings of extended families” Amnesty International Dec. 5, 2023 Funding the United Nations Relief and Works Agency-UNRWA For Palestine Refugees in the Near East The U.S. announced it has cut off humanitarian aid to the U.N. agency Even as 196 relief workers have been killed by Israel In this current war to date according to the U.N.
