REDEFINING THE OCCUPATION IN PALESTINE: A
PRESENTATION AND DISCUSSION
WITH MARK TURNER, HUMAN RIGHTS ACTIVIST
International human rights activist Mark Turner has returned from his most recent nine-month stay in Balata Refugee Camp in the northern West Bank city of Nablus. During his stay, Mark volunteered with medical relief crews during two major Israeli military invasions and documented scores of other military operations in and around Nablus and its refugee camps. Mark’s films helped to bring international attention to the continued, illegal use of human shields by the Israeli military in the West Bank, including an incident in which soldiers kidnapped an eleven-year-old girl and forced her to lead them into neighboring homes. Turner is currently touring the United States, presenting his experiences and analysis of the developing situation in Occupied Palestine.

"Its racist to stand for the propositon that Palestinians, alone among all the peoples in history who have ever decided to wage war, must suffer no adverse consequences as a result of their actions."
Yeah! Why should the Palestinians expect better treatment from the Israelis than the Greeks, Yugoslavs, Italians and Albanians got from the Germans in a similar situation in the 1940's or that the indigenous peoples of the Americas have gotten from the English, Spanish and Portuguese colonists and their descendants for the last 500 years? Neither the fighters nor the non-combatants should expect mercy when waging war against the conquerors -- nor, for that matter, when not waging war against them but just being in the way of the conquerors' desire for further conquest!
But maybe if the Palestinians and their allies managed to target their (justified) violence against those who have real power and influence in the Israeli state, including big Israeli capitalists and the foreign financiers of Israel, a somewhat just peace -- rather than another Oslo-style surrender to Zionist colonialism by the Quislings of the Palestinian Authority -- would be possible.
