  242.  @american2126  Israel’s colonial violence, greatly funded by America and Americans of course, extends to the arts. The state of Israel prevents Palestinians from pursuing their right to artistic and cultural expression on both an individual and organisational level. The occupation state continues to dispossess, persecute and punish artists and performers like Dareen Tatour and Hafez Omar for daring to speak out against its violence. Israeli forces often attack cultural and artistic institutions, disrupt events, destroy archives or deny Palestinian artists access to their own archives. For example, the entire Palestinian national film and archive was stolen from Beirut by Israeli forces in 1982. Palestinians are prevented from accessing their own visual history—documents created by their own people. Palestinians have no freedom to practice art, much less to travel to expand their practice, perform, exhibit and collaborate or participate in arts festivals abroad. The establishment of a dance group in Gaza would be near impossible, precisely because Gaza is besieged, and because arts initiatives are relentlessly targeted by Israel. Apartheid is not a theoretical concept, nor do we use the word lightly. It is a horrifying lived experience. Self-expression through the arts is a right that Palestinians are not afforded. While suppressing and abusing all Palestinians, the Apartheid "Jewish state" regularly inserts itself into creative spaces, such as the Sydney Festival, in an attempt to launder its atrocities and fabricate legitimacy on the world stage. https://overland.org.au/2022/01/from-safsaf-to-sydney-palestinian-resistance-and-the-festival-boycott/

  421.  @barak9966  LIE1. Independence from the British Mandate, there was no British Mandate when Israel declared, it did not exist, because Israel could not declare while the Mandate existed the Mandate ended in order for Israel to declare, so your opening sentence is just more Zionist settler colonialist b/s. LIE 2.ZionistIsrael has never made a favourable offer that would result in an independent sovereign State of Palestine, all Israel's offers have come up way short of that basic requirement, anything other than that would run counter to Zionism's basic principle, of NO Palestinian state East of the Jordan River, LIE 3.The PA is corrupt they are the Israeli zionist's poodle in charge, that carries out Israel's commands, what do you expect from a puppet regime put into office by a corrupt zionist regime. LIE4. Gaza is the worlds largest outdoor prison, Israel has never allowed any form of democratic rule to flourish in Gaza, Hamas was elected Democratically, There have been a people known as the Palestinian Nation residing in Palestine quite separate from any other Arab state long before European Jewish nationalism was invented in the1800's, The Palestinian population was largely stable up to and prior to Zionist immigration to a country well outside Jewish Europe, from where the majority of EuropeanJews who had never been in Palestine nor their European ancestors ever been in Palestine, emigrated from in the early 20th century. Love the way zionists expose themselves as the LIARS they are and always have been. Israel never agreed to divide Palestine equally, Israel only agreed to violently expel as many Palestinians from their ancestral homeland as was possible. Seems that Zionists LIE as easily as they breath.Your diatribe is nothing short of a Perversion of History.

  473.  @eyestosee6750  I don't mean to offend you, thats not my intent, all of what I have offered you to date is my own words, to answer your question, about my sense that you sound angry, I just pick up that vibe from you, having said that I am quite prepared to say I may be mistaken, so if you feel offended then I apologise for that, anyway back to our discussion, I see that your link is information provided by Colleen Huber, a women who some consider to be a naturopathic nutter that cares not one iota about the vulnerable cancer patients she claims to treat but in reality just exploits for her own selfcentered profits, she reminds me of a women who like Colleen Huber used to entice cancer patients to stop taking all the cancer medications prescribed by their Doctors, medications she deemed unnecessary and commence on pills lotions and diet plans she would profit from, it goes without saying that most of those patients having trusted her ended up dying prematurely with runaway disease, unfortunately the world is full of uncaring jackals like Colleen Huber that prey on the sick and desperate who are only looking for hope, she also had this angry air about her, despising all conventional medical Doctors along with all forms of conventional medicine, maybe the anger I sense in you is really you projecting the anger many of these unhinged naturopathic quacks exhibit towards orthodox medicine. Again sorry for having to be so blunt but one has to say what one see's as evident. Colleen Huber gimme a break!! I guess our discussion is over.

  474.  @eyestosee6750  Well not trusting media or authorities is the very definition of skeptic someone who tends to doubt accepted beliefs, thats fine I think its quite healthy to have that trait, it protects people from falling into the trap of being gullible. I for one are very much the same, so I would encourage you not to change, keep searching for your own answers, having said that Covid uncontrolled is a real virus that has the potential to kill 100's of thousands if not millions, in fact its killed some 3 million people sofar, its real and we have limited understanding of it as an organism capable of many mutations, we haven't seen the last of it and I doubt we ever will, the scientific/medical field is still learning about it while the virus is still on a killing rampage while mutating all the time, to date its been mainly older folk in the 70-80 yr old group who have died from it, but we are seeing strains emerge that are now killing increasingly younger people in the 20/30/40 yr groups. Oh dear , gene therapy with operating systems, you have verifiable evidence for your claims I take it, you need to share such evidence, you are veering off into conspiracy theory with some of your claims there, friend, you sound angry, you can believe whatever you like, but society has a greater responsibility towards it citizens to find answers and possible treatments like vaccines and behaviour modification to at least try to ward off infection rates from spiralling out of control, sure the vaccines we have are not fully tested but there is an emergency going on, people are dying by the thousands, emergency situations sometimes require emergency actions to overcome the reality of rampant infectious disease.

  475.  @eyestosee6750  Clearly you are a skeptic, that is not unusual to find during major health scares like epidemics and pandemics, it a form of denial that eases the anxiety that people feel, as I said anecdotal evidence has its place, but by its very nature anecdotal evidence is not particularly reliable when it comes to gaining scientific data that one can build a credible and effective health care plan on, that is why when you go to your GP you will be asked not just questions but also sent for tests, xrays and blood work etc to gain actual reliable data that your Doctor can use to make an accurate diagnosis and implement an effective targeted treatment plan, maybe the reason why some countries are having so much trouble getting the disease under control is because people are using what is essentially conversations over coffee and gossip to gain an understanding of the disease while dismissing the actual scientific evidence, it is the reason why a country like NZ can boast total cases of 2555 with only 26 deaths in a pandemic that has infected 133 million worldwide with a death toll approaching 3 million and NZ is preparing to open its borders to other countries like Australia that take the epidemic and it management seriously, while the world plagued by skeptics is no closer to getting it under control, and probably wont for a few year to come, in the meantime the virus mutates into an even more formidable, infectious and treatment resistant strain. Do I know anyone that has been infected with covid and died, no I don,t, but what I don't know is not actually relevant when fighting an infectious disease that has claimed almost 3 million lives in the past year or so. and is mutating into an even more virulent form that is rapidly killing people as young as 20 year olds.

  558.  @american2126  Did you know that the US also supported South African Apartheid right up to within weeks of its final collapse. Yes I know disgusting isn't it!!! Opponents of the cultural boycott of Israel say that art should be separate from politics. The supposed separation has offered Palestinian artists and art no protection from political persecution and censorship. Israeli attacks on Palestinian art range from shutting down exhibitions and preventing Palestinians from performing to stopping institutions from sponsoring and hosting events. This siege on Palestinian artists must be broken. Breaking the siege means that Israel has to change, and it won’t do that without pressure. That’s why many Palestinian artists have appealed to cultural workers and artists in the rest of the world to boycott Israeli government institutions. As with South Africa, the cultural boycott is an especially important method of resisting apartheid; Israel openly abuses culture as a form of state propaganda. The cultural boycott call has been attacked as detrimental to free expression. But the alternative is complicity in the abuse of culture by an apartheid state. Israel uses culture as a weapon to sell ‘Brand Israel’, and to cover up its attacks on the Palestinian people, just as apartheid South Africa tried to use sport to cover up its crimes.

Highlighted by **----* Before addressing the legal consequences of the construction of the wall (the term which the General Assembly has chosen to use and which is also used in the Opinion, since the other expressions sometimes employed are no more accurate if understood in the physical sense), the Court considers whether or not the construction of the wall is contrary to international law. The Court determines the rules and principles of international law which are relevant to the question posed by the General Assembly. The Court begins by citing, with reference to Article 2, paragraph 4, of the United Nations Charter and to General Assembly resolution 2625 (XXV), the principles of the prohibition of the threat or use of force and the illegality of any territorial acquisition by such means, as reflected in customary international law. It further cites the principle of self‑determination of peoples, as enshrined in the Charter and reaffirmed by resolution 2625 (XXV). * As regards international humanitarian law, the Court refers to the provisions of the Hague Regulation of 1907, which have become part of customary law, as well as the Fourth Geneva Convention relative to the Protection of Civilian Persons in Time of War of 1949, applicable in those Palestinian territories which before the armed conflict of 1967 lay to the east of the 1949 Armistice demarcation line (or “Green Line”) and were occupied by Israel during that conflict***. The Court further notes that certain human rights instruments (International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights and the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child) are applicable in the Occupied Palestinian Territory.

Question (a): Over which areas of Palestine do you actually exercise control? At present over the entire area of the Jewish State as defined in the Resolution of the General Assembly of the 29th November, 1947? "In addition, the Provisional Government exercises control over the city of Jaffa; Northwestern Galilee, including Acre, Zib, Base, and the Jewish settlements up to the Lebanese frontier; a strip of territory alongside the road from Hilda to Jerusalem; almost all of new Jerusalem; and of the Jewish quarter within the walls of the Old City of Jerusalem. The above areas, "outside the territory of the State of Israel" are under the control of the military authorities of the State of Israel, who are strictly adhering to international regulations in this regard. The Southern Negev is uninhabited desert over which no effective authority has ever existed." ... " the Government of the State of Israel operates in parts of Palestine outside the territory of the State of Israel"

  582. TheNaturalust Unless you can cite the resolutions granting Israel territory it acquired during the '48 war I will have to defer to my understanding that the UN cannot violate its own Charter,let alone customary international law I very much doubt that the UN has officially recognised territory acquired by Israel in 1948, as Israeli territory, in fact after the '48 war ended Israel filed a request that territory it acquired in that war be deemed as Israeli territory, the UN Reconcilliation Commission denied the request, pointing Israel to the General Armistice Agreement, February 24, 1949 “Article V. 1. The line described in Article VI of this Agreement shall be designated as the Armistice Demarcation Line and is delineated in pursuance of the purpose and intent of the resolutions of the Security Council of 4 and 16 November 1948. 2. The Armistice Demarcation Line is not to be construed in any sense as a political or territorial boundary, and is delineated without prejudice to rights, claims and positions of either Party to the Armistice as regards ultimate settlement of the Palestine question.” Article XI No provision of this Agreement shall in any way prejudice the rights, claims and positions of either Party hereto in the ultimate peaceful settlement of the Palestine question. It is illegal to acquire territory by force/war and Israel has never legally annexed ANY territory outside the extent of it’s declared Sovereignty. The laws regarding territory acquired during war are not tempered by aggressive/defensive criteria, the laws apply to all and any war. A lot of people seem to confuse the Palestinians offer of peace based on the '48 green line in exchange for recognising Israel on the same lines as a done deal,this proposal is simply an offer that has not been taken up by Israel to date, as such the border between Israel and Palestine remains at the '48 partition lines.
