Tear Down Israel's Apartheid Wall - SF Photos

by Jeff Paterson, Not in Our Name (jeff [at] paterson.net)
The San Francisco protest of the International Day of Action Against Israel's Apartheid Wall brought a couple hundred people to Washington Square Park to actually tear down a mock version of the wall.
1-up.jpg
Expected to be largest land grab since 1967, the Apartheid Wall in its current projection will allow for Israel the control of some one-half of the West Bank, and is expected to run to a length of some 650 kilometers. The Apartheid Wall (deceptively referred to as the “security fence”) is currently snaking its way up to 6 kilometers inside the West Bank, and in some areas will reach some 16 kilometers inside. The Wall consistently follows a path that allows for maximum settlement annexation and large-scale control of Palestinian lands.

If they are going to do a mock acting scene of tearing down the wall, why don't they also dress up as palestinian suicide bombers and run over the fake wall after they knock it down? That's exactly what the outcome will be.

Or, better yet, have real suicide bombers attack those demonstrators, and see if they allow themselves to be blown up, or if they run and hide behind a wall.

Stupid smiling misguided morons.

by dismantle Zionist Jewish state of Israel
The reasons to dismantle the Zionist Jewish state of Israel are far to numerous to list here, but I can recommend a couple websites if you are interested:
http://www.cactus48.com
http://www.nkusa.org

By the way, Israel has defied over 70 UN Resolutions, compared to Iraq's defiance of 17. Israel is the only Mideast country with WMD including nuclear warheads, some of which are pointed at European capitals. Israel is guilty of ethnic cleansing and apartheid since day one of it's immoral creation in 1948, when Palestinians were forced to give up their homeland to make way for Jewish supremacists aka Zionists. Israel is still continuing with its relentless ethnic cleansing campaign against the non-Jewish indigenous Palestinian people using billions of US tax dollars every year for the funding of these crimes against humanity. Israel is who we have to thank for 9-11 in more ways than one. Support for Israel = endless war on the Arab world until they succumb to Jewish Supremacism, and don't think it will stop with the Arab Muslim world. Zionists are trying to make it a crime to criticize Israel's ethnocentric, terrorist government and the racism ideology of Zionism. Anyone, no matter what race or religion, who resists Zionist domination is in danger of being targeted for slander or worse. No double standards for Zionist Jews. Apartheid, colonialism, imperialism, racism is bad no matter who practices it--- it is against American ideals and morals.

Windy Out Wendy: " Support for Israel = endless war on the Arab world until they succumb to Jewish Supremacism, and don't think it will stop with the Arab Muslim world. Zionists are trying to make it a crime to criticize Israel's ethnocentric, terrorist government and the racism ideology of Zionism. Anyone, no matter what race or religion, who resists Zionist domination is in danger of being targeted for slander or worse."

Oh, look, there's that pesky fig leaf falling away again.

So "Jewish Supremecists" are bent on world domination? Did one of your goldfish tell you that?

The Israelis perpetuate the cycle of evil gnocide. They were the victims, and now they've become the evil do'ers. What have gone wrong? Do power and money really corrupt?

I say "Tear down the damn shameful apartheid wall."
by Mother
It is wonderful, and very moving, to see young people who care so passionately about this issue
by anti bullshit
It's a damn shame that "observer" is severely misinformed, or even disinformed.

There have been Israeli soldiers and border policemen and internal security interrogators who have abused the law and their power, but on the whole the Israelis are by and large the victims, whereas the Palestinians are the evil party.

It is telling that "observer spoke of a "cycle of evil genocide". Perhaps this is a Freudian "slip of pen" hinting that the Palestinians are engaged in genocide, which they are. That's what there intifada has been.

The question about the corrupting effects of power and money should be asked about Yasser Arafat...had he not misused and stolen all the foreign aid from the EU, Canada, Japan and even the US and Israel, the Palestinians could have bettered their lot substantially. Instead of blaming Arafat and the PA for what they have done wrong, it's much easier for most "observers" to attack Israel and blame it instead.

Its an easy formula. Leave the Israelis alone and they wont bother you. Very simple.

Not only are you an imitator but you're also either an ignoramus or a flat out liar.
All the Palestinian terror groups, particularly Hamas and Islamic Jihad, will keep wreaking havoc and massacring Israelis even if Israel were to completely round up all the Jews and pull out by noon today.
by pot/kettle/black
That's exactly what they say about Israel.
by anti bullshit
First off I want to clarify I spoke of a scenario whereby Israel completely retreats from the *disputed territories*.

"pot/kettle/black", did you even ~read~ what I wrote before you posted your kneejerk asinine response?
Besides, why don't you go and become Hamas' spoksperson? You're a "peace" activist, not a peace activist.
by X
Just incase no one else has noticed, just because one group does bad things doesn't mean the other group is good.
E.g. Nazis were genicidal maniacs bent on world domination and what not; at the same time America was hugely racist, locking up anyone who looked asian as well as some germans, while also segregating blacks.
There are no good guys.
Hamas, for example, does great things for the Palestinian people, but they also murder innocent Israelis; the IDF "protects" against Hamas with this wall and it's policies, but it's policies are incredilby racist (just like those of Hamas). Israelis and Palestinians are both victems of each other's leaders.

BTW, Zionism is the belief that Jews should have a homeland. It was originally conceptualized as living in peace within the Palestinian state. The Israeli government is not Zionist; it's fascist. The Palestinian "government" is much more fragmented, but roughly of the same ideology.

If anyone actually cares about ending all this fighting than they'll have to recognize this reality.
by stop with the &quot;poor Jews&quot; bullshit
AS IF the Jews are the only ones who have suffered as a minority throughout history--- let's face it--- the Jews are just better at keeping score about these things than anyone around! What other minority has a pitbull organization like the ADL that goes around harrassing people who criticize the racist, apartheid, terrorist state of Israel? Get off your high horse and learn your history. Jews are not the only ones who have suffered and Jewish suffering is no more important than anyone else's suffering! That includes first and foremost in today's world the Palestinian people!!!! They have the right to live as equals in their own ancestral homeland of Palestine-Israel, and that includes all the Palestinian refugees who have the inalienable right to return to their ancestral homeland according to UN Resolutions, International Law and world opinion. Israel must transform into a true secular multi-cultural democracy with equal rights for all regardless of religion, ethnicity, race or gender or Israel is doomed to complete failure. Probably taking the whole world with it into Armaggedon as a result.
by anti-jerk
Wow, and you're NOT an anti-semite, right?

Closet anti-semite said: AS IF the Jews are the only ones who have suffered as a minority throughout history---

INTELLIGENT RESPONSE: No one said or implied that they were. Your anti-semitism is reeking.


Closet anti-semite said: let's face it--- the Jews are just better at keeping score about these things than anyone around!

INTELLIGENT RESPONSE: There are only about 14 million jews left on the entire planet. It's pretty easy to "keep score."


Closet anti-semite said: What other minority has a pitbull organization like the ADL that goes around harrassing people who criticize the (insert stupid adjectives) state of Israel?

INTELLIGENT RESPONSE: The ADL mostly focuses on anti-semitism, regardless of whether it has to do with israel or not. However, it IS anti-semitic to demand that israel break up because it's a jewish-favoring state while not also demanding that muslim countries break up because they are muslim-favoring states, etc. Singling out the jews while not holding others to the same standards of criticism is anti-semitic. Sorry, deal with it.

Closet anti-semite said: Get off your high horse and learn your history. Jews are not the only ones who have suffered

INTELLIGENT RESPONSE: The inner anti-semite is leaking out of you again. No one has said or even implied that jews are the only people to have suffered on this planet. However, jews have had an extremely rough time, thus explaining why there are are far under 20 million jews on earth, yet a billion christians and a billion muslims and a billion hindus, even though jews came before both christians and muslims. But again, no one has said jews are the "only" ones to have suffered. Your anti-semitism is blatant.

Closet anti-semite said: and Jewish suffering is no more important than anyone else's suffering!

INTELLIGNET RESPONSE: No one said it was. But don't blame jews for caring very much about jews surviving.

Closet anti-semite said: That includes first and foremost in today's world the Palestinian people!!!!

INTELLIGENT RESPONSE: No one is disagreeing with that point.

Closet anti-semite said: They have the right to live as equals in their own ancestral homeland of Palestine-Israel,

INTELLIGENT RESPONSE: The majority of "historic palestine" is now Syria and Jordan. A useful fun fact for you when you speak of this "ancestral" and "historic" stuff.

Closet anti-semite said: and that includes all the Palestinian refugees who have the inalienable right to return to their ancestral homeland according to UN Resolutions, International Law and world opinion.

INTELLIGENT RESPONSE: Hahaha, what? You're just spewing baseless opinions now.

To be fair, Windy Out Wendy can't really be called a "closet antisemite." She came out of that closet months ago -- which is why I started calling her Windy Out Wendy, rather than just Windy Wendy. At the moment, I think the only person who doesn't yet know how obvious her antisemitism is is Windy Out Wendy herself.

Total U.S. aid to Israel is approximately one-third of the American foreign- aid budget, even though Israel comprises just .001 percent of the world's population and already has one of the world's higher per capita incomes. Indeed, Israel's GNP is higher than the combined GNP of Egypt, Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, the West Bank and Gaza. With a per capita income of about $14,000, Israel ranks as the sixteenth wealthiest country in the world; Israelis enjoy a higher per capita income than oil-rich Saudi Arabia and are only slightly less well-off than most Western European countries.
==========================================

A Conservative Total for U.S. Aid to Israel: $91 Billion—and Counting

Unquestionably, Israel is the largest cumulative recipient of U.S. aid since World War II. Estimates for total U.S. aid to Israel vary, however, because of the uncertainties and ambiguities described above. An Oct. 27, 2000 Congressional Research Service (CRS) report, using available and verifiable numbers, gives cumulative aid to Israel from 1949 through FY 2000 (which ended Sept. 30, 2000) at $81.38 billion. On the other hand, last year the Washington Report on Middle East Affairs estimated total aid to Israel through FY 2000 at $91.82 billion.

Zionism is the fight for Jewish liberty in their historical and Biblical homeland. Anyone who says Jews do not have a right to self-determination as Jews is an Anti-Semite, as are most of the "anti-Zionists" on INDYMEDIA. To support Palestinian Nationalism is to support facists. Facists who support Saddam Hussain during the gulf war, Facists who persecute politcal dissenters, gays, secular muslims, Christians and Jews. To support the palestinians is to support those who cheered and feted when hearing about the september 11 attack. That Bin Laden is a hero for the Palestinians no one should forget. No one should forget their high support for sucide bombings which is a crime against humanity. To support Zionism is to not only to support self determination and liberty for Jews, but to support the gains of the Zionist movement in the near east in terms of economic, political and religious freedoms and protections which will ultimitly benefit the Muslims of the region of well. To support Israel is to support the protection of freedom and liberty for Jews, who will ultimately extend this liberty to their semitic cousins. Now how can you argue with that?
by scottie
If people paid aid according to population most countries would be giving the USA aid.
If they paid it according to "poorness" all of it would go to a couple of screwed up african states (which would and do function as black holes).
If human rights was a criteria all of those needy countries would then be excluded.
The US pays money according to stability because it is the hegemon and that is what hegemons do - they preserve stability.
most other countries pay their aid to buy the nod of various cheap countries so they can win votes at UN meetings and such.

>Anyone who says Jews do not have a right to self-determination as Jews is an Anti-Semite
