Israeli police evict Palestinian families from Occupied Jerusalem


Peace index puts Israel at 141 out of 144

By Sonja Karkar


Hardly a peaceful way to run a state. Zionist spin carefully avoids any mention of Israel’s slow and deliberate ethnic cleansing of the Palestinians from their own land. A man sits amongst his belongings after he was forcibly removed from his home in East Jerusalem – a cruel and devastating experience that threatens many more Palestinian families in the weeks to come.

Contrary to what Zionist spin wants us to believe, Israel is not a country in which people can live in peace. According to the peace index, Israel was even outranked by Sudan, Zimbabwe, Lebanon, North Korea and Iran. Only Iraq, Afghanistan and Somalia are worse. And what is happening in Israel right now – the forcible eviction of Palestinian families from Jerusalem – is evidence of Israel’s plummeting descent into an apartheid state. After all, how many of us could imagine the state evicting us out of our homes so
that an imported group of people can take them over? Read about the evictions and this survey on our website under Latest Palestine News http:www.australiansforpalestine.com

You will find too Dr Salim Nazzal’s reminder about the dangers of division in the struggle for Palestinian liberation which comes just as Palestinian leaders convene for the first time since 1989 in Bethlehem for the Fateh Congress.

Australian readers may be shocked to learn that Australian billionaire Joe Gutnik, a former president of the Melbourne Football Club has been pouring millions of dollars into criminal settlement expansion in the Hebron area of Palestine, land illegally occupied by Israel and run by the extremist Jewish Kach party.
