Grossly human rights-abusing and US-backed Apartheid Israel wants Indigenous Palestinian land but not the Palestinian inhabitants and have annexed Occupied East Jerusalem while making the Palestinians they haven’t expelled residents but not citizens. Pro-Apartheid Trump America, Australia and Canada rank 1, 2 and 3 in the world for supporting Apartheid Israel and hence its racist and genocidal policies in Occupied East Jerusalem and the Occupied Palestinian Territories in general. Pro-Apartheid, US lackey Australia disputes that East Jerusalem is occupied but may only move some diplomats to Jerusalem whereas Trump will move all. Pro-Apartheid US, Australia, Canada and Apartheid Israel face sanctions from an indignant world.
Because of US backing, genocidally racist Apartheid Israel has got way with immense, Nazi-style crimes against humanity over the last 70 years – it has occupied all of Palestine plus neighbouring territories, the ongoing Palestinian Genocide has been associated, so far, with 2 million Indigenous Palestinian deaths from violence, 0.1 million, or imposed deprivation, 1.9 million, since WW1, 90% of Palestine has been ethnically cleansed, 7 million Palestinians are excluded from Palestine, and 14 million Palestinians are excluded from all or part of Palestine. 5 million Occupied Palestinians (half children and three quarters women and children) are indefinitely, criminally, violently and highly abusively incarcerated without human rights in the Gaza Concentration Camp (2 million) or in West bank ghettoes (3 million).
However the Trump decision to move the US embassy to a forcibly and war criminally united Jerusalem, that includes Occupied East Jerusalem and its grossly human rights-deprived Palestinian inhabitants, has finally united the rest of the world in opposition.
This essay examines (1) Gross violation of Indigenous Palestinian human rights in Occupied East Jerusalem by genocidally racist Apartheid Israel, (2) Biblical and Zionist racist fantasy versus the historical reality of Muslim and Christian Jerusalem, and (3) Global Boycotts, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) against Apartheid Israel and its key supporters, pro-Apartheid US, Australia and Canada.
(1) Gross violation of Indigenous Palestinian human rights in Occupied East Jerusalem by genocidally racist Apartheid Israel.
The key issue in relation to the Occupied Palestinian Territories and to Occupied East Jerusalem in particular is the removal of all basic human rights from the Occupied Palestinians. Apartheid Israel has violated all 30 Articles of the UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights in relation to the 5 million Occupied Palestinians violently and highly-abusively confined to the Gaza Concentration Camp (2 million) or to West Bank West ghettoes (3 million) [1]. The Indigenous Palestinian Israelis are “third class citizens” subject to Nazi-style, race-based Apartheid laws and the continuing and repeatedly articulated Israeli threat of further genocide. The exiled 7 million Indigenous Palestinians have lost everything, including the right to live in their own country. US-backed Apartheid Israel has backed genocide around the world and has variously invaded and occupied all its neighbours [1-15].
In the Six Day War in 1967 a now nuclear weapons-armed Apartheid Israel attacked and seized territory from all its neighbours. One day after cessation of hostilities the Israeli Government decided to annexe Occupied East Jerusalem and 2 weeks later this war criminal theft was formalized by Israeli law. In 1980 Apartheid Israel legislated that a unified Jerusalem including Occupied East Jerusalem was the capital of Apartheid Israel [15-19]. The UN Security Council (unanimously except for US abstention) rejected this war criminal theft. Thus Wikipedia: “United Nations Security Council Resolution 478, adopted on 20 August 1980, is one of seven UNSC resolutions condemning Israel's attempted annexation of East Jerusalem. In particular, UNSC res 478 notes Israel's non-compliance with UNSC res 476 and condemned Israel's 1980 Jerusalem Law which declared Jerusalem to be Israel's "complete and united" capital, as a violation of international law. The resolution states that the Council will not recognize this law, and calls on member states to accept the decision of the council. This resolution also calls upon member states to withdraw their diplomatic missions from the city. The resolution was passed with 14 votes to none against, with the United States abstaining” [19].
UN Security Council Resolution 2334 (2016) (passed unanimously except for US abstention) also condemns the criminal annexation of Occupied East Jerusalem, stating: “ [It] 1. Reaffirms that the establishment by Israel of settlements in the Palestinian territory occupied since 1967, including East Jerusalem, has no legal validity and constitutes a flagrant violation under international law and a major obstacle to the achievement of the two-State solution and a just, lasting and comprehensive peace; 2. Reiterates its demand that Israel immediately and completely cease all settlement activities in the occupied Palestinian territory, including East Jerusalem, and that it fully respect all of its legal obligations in this regard; 3. Underlines that it will not recognize any changes to the 4 June 1967 lines, including with regard to Jerusalem, other than those agreed by the parties through negotiations” [20-22]. As discussed below, pro-Apartheid Trump America, pro-Apartheid Australia and Apartheid Israel have parted company with 190 other UN member nations by rejecting UN Security Council Resolution 2334 (pro-Apartheid Canada was contemptibly muted in its opposition).
After its illegal conquest of East Jerusalem in 1967, the Israelis conducted a census, excluded those Palestinians not present from the right to live there (ethnic cleansing), and granted “permanent” Israeli residency to those living there. Occupied East Jerusalem Palestinians can apply for Israeli citizenship, provided they swear allegiance to Apartheid Israel and renounce all other citizenships (in contrast Jewish Israelis can have dual citizenship, this enabling them to subvert and pervert other countries). By 2005 about 93% of the Arab population of East Jerusalem had permanent residency and 5% had Israeli citizenship Of 4,500 East Jerusalem Palestinian residents applying for Israeli citizenship in 2008- 2010, only 1 in 3 were successful. In the period 1967- 2016, Apartheid Israel revoked the resident status of at least 14,595 Palestinians from East Jerusalem (ethnic cleansing) on the basis of living elsewhere in Occupied Palestine or being relatives of Israeli-asserted “terrorists”. Occupied East Jerusalem Palestinian permanent residency in Israel is withdrawn if a Palestinian settles outside of Israel, does not automatically pass to children or a non-resident spouse, and can be revoked at the discretion of the neo-Nazi Apartheid Israeli Interior Ministry. 95% of Indigenous Palestinian East Jerusalem residents have minimal human rights, cannot vote for the government ruling them, cannot travel for fear of permanent exclusion, are subject to arbitrary and highly abusive arrest, can have their property seized and destroyed, and cannot even marry and cohabit with an Occupied Palestinian sweet-heart from a neighbouring village [16, 17].
What Apartheid Israel has done in Occupied East Jerusalem (and in the rest of the Occupied Palestinian Territory) violates Article 2 of the UN Genocide Convention which states that “In the present Convention, genocide means any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnic, racial or religious group, as such: a) Killing members of the group; b) Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group; c) Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part; d) Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group; e) Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group” [23]. Killing occurs not just through violence (active killing) but also through avoidable death from imposed deprivation [15]. Mass avoidable mortality in the grossly impoverished and persecuted Occupied Palestinian population occurs due to gross Israeli violation of Articles 55 and 56 of the Geneva Convention relative to the Protection of Civilian Persons in Time of War that unequivocally state that the Occupier must supply its Subjects with life-sustaining food and medical services “to the fullest extent of the means available to it” [24].
The utter awfulness of what Apartheid Israel is doing in East Jerusalem would be powerfully brought home to decent people by the following exercise. Imagine your present circumstances, living happily in the premier city of your country, enjoying your rights, family, friends, property, mobility and other pleasant circumstances. Suddenly through invasion, occupation, racism, Apartheid and ethnic cleansing you become a subject of the Occupying Power with loss of citizenship, community, country, and basic human rights with actual or possible additional loss of spouse, children, home, property, friends and mobility – and worst of all, these race-specific impositions are made by a mendacious, psychopathic, nuclear terrorist, genocidally racist, Apartheid rogue state that wants the land and property of you and your kin but is remorselessly dedicated to ethnic cleansing of your ilk that it regards with a pathological hatred akin to that of the German Nazis for Jews in the 1930s and 1940s. .
(2) Biblical and Zionist racist fantasy versus the historical reality of Muslim and Christian Jerusalem.
The following is a summary of the history of Jerusalem with my appended commentary.
(a) Pre-Roman (3000-63BCE). 3000-2800 BCE, early Bronze Age settlement; circa 1400 BCE first mention of a city with a name like “Jerusalem” relating to a Canaanite god Salem; circa 1000 BCE, part of an Egyptian vassal state; solely Biblical and Zionist-espoused account of Israelite conquest and standard ethnic cleansing of the Jebusite city of Jerusalem by genocidal psychopath David followed by a largely fictional Kingdom of David and Solomon in the immediate vicinity of Jerusalem (1000-925 BCE); 850-722 BCE, Assyrian invasion of Canaan; 587-586 BCE, Babylonian capture, destruction and depopulation of Jerusalem; 586-550 BCE, part of Babylonian Empire; 550-333 BCE, part of the Persian Empire (with Biblical assertion of some “return”); 333-270 BCE, part of the Macedonian Empire founded by Alexander the Great; 270-165 BCE, part of the Hellenic Ptolemaic Empire (Libya and Egypt through to present-day coastal southern Turkey); 165-63 BCE, part of the Hasmonean Jewish Kingdom in conflict under the Maccabees with the Hellenic Ptolemaic Empire [15, 25-29].
Comments. I am an anti-racist Jewish Australian (and accordingly necessarily an anti-Zionist) who is agnostic and Humanist but deeply conscious of the Jewish part of my heritage and the loss of most of my wider Jewish relatives in the Jewish Holocaust in Hungary in 1944-1945. Anti-racist Jewish Israeli Professor Shlomo Sand in his book “The Invention of the Jewish People” [27] makes the damning points that there is no evidence for the Exodus from Egypt (the endlessly writing Egyptians left no record of it) , for the 1st century AD mass Exile of Jews from Palestine under the Romans (who unlike the German Nazis did not have trains or cattle trucks) or for a huge David and Solomon Jewish Empire (a solitary stone has been found in Syria with the name David inscribed on it in ancient Semitic script). The name David is no doubt inscribed in thousands of lavatories around the world but that does not constitute evidence for a global Israelite Empire or justify Zionist domination of the world. One could conclude that there may have been a tiny Israelite kingdom centred on an ethnically cleansed Jerusalem in circa 1000-600 BCE that was subject as a satrap state (a subordinate and subject local governate) to Egyptian and thence Assyrian and Babylonian hegemony. However it is clear from the Biblical accounts that numerous other peoples inhabited Palestine BCE and successfully withstood the Bible-recounted attempts by the Israelites to exterminate them, notably the Philistines from whom Palestine derives its ancient, 3,000-year old name.
The Old Testament of the Holy Bible puts this “God”-Chosen People “deal” with a vengeful and genocidal Israelite “God” quite bluntly in Deuteronomy chapter 7: “1 When the Lord thy God shall bring thee into the land whither thou goest to possess it, and hath cast out many nations before thee, the Hittites, and the Girgashites, and the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, seven nations greater and mightier than thou; 2 And when the Lord thy God shall deliver them before thee; thou shalt smite them, and utterly destroy them; thou shalt make no covenant with them, nor shew mercy unto them: 3 Neither shalt thou make marriages with them; thy daughter thou shalt not give unto his son, nor his daughter shalt thou take unto thy son. 4 For they will turn away thy son from following me, that they may serve other gods: so will the anger of the Lord be kindled against you, and destroy thee suddenly. 5 But thus shall ye deal with them; ye shall destroy their altars, and break down their images, and cut down their groves, and burn their graven images with fire. For thou art an holy people unto the Lord thy God: the Lord thy God hath chosen thee to be a special people unto himself, above all people that are upon the face of the earth” ([29], Deuteronomy, chapter 7).
Thus, for example, according to the Bible, the genocidal psychopath David cold-bloodedly kills the father and uncle of shepherd boy Natan [Nathan] who survives by having a fit in which he talks like a God-inspired prophet to the killer, who is so impressed that he takes Natan on as a prophet just as Shmuel [Samuel] was the prophet of Shaul [Saul]. Insurgent David under threat from King Saul becomes a mercenary ally of the Plishtim [Philistines, and hence the term Palestine] and after attacking and destroying Canaanite towns pretends to the Plishtim that he has been attacking Israelite towns – however to prevent the secret emerging, David orders that the Canaanite populations be totally exterminated [29, 30]. John Wesley interprets David’s order after the conquest of Jebusite Jerusalem that “The blind and the lame shall not come into the house” to mean that the Jebusites are totally destroyed and any escaping survivors are forever excluded from Jerusalem [31] - shades of the present-day racist Zionists in Apartheid Israel with their cries of “Kill them all” and “Kill all Arabs” [32], and “Exterminate all the brutes” from “Heart of Darkness” by Joseph Conrad [33] that was used as a title for a brilliant book about genocidal European colonialism by Sven Lindqvist [34]. The Israelite God promise the land of the Canaanites to the genocidal Israelites, destroys Sodom and Gomorrah (today known as “collective punishment” as in repeated Israeli Gaza Massacres), sanctions the ethnic cleansing of Jericho by genocidal psychopath Joshua, vengefully punishes King David’s predecessor King Saul for not killing all the Canaanite men , women and children and all their animals [29], and implicitly encourages the mass murder of all of the people of the Canaanite lad Shechem who loved Dinah (daughter of Jacob) – “Then “Jacob said to Simeon and Levi [Dinah’s murderous brothers] , 'You have brought trouble on me by making me odious to the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites and the Perizzites; my numbers are few, and if they gather themselves against me and attack me, I shall be destroyed, both I and my household” ([29], Genesis 34, 31).
The attempted ethnic cleansing of Canaan (Palestine) by the Israelites in circa 1000BC is mirrored today in the ongoing Palestinian Genocide. Indeed Australian scholar Dr Sandra Nasr was censured and censored by the London School of Economics (LSE) and Notre Dame Australia for stating this obvious reality: “Zionism, the ideological project to secure a Jewish homeland, relies upon notions of separateness, superiority and entitlement. It finds its origins in the ‘promise’ believed to have been made by God to ‘His people’ – Abraham and his descendants, the Israelites. According to this belief, they were to take the land by force, kill anyone who resisted, and take for slaves those who did not fight back (except in more distant towns which should just be cleansed). Biblical Theologian Professor Michael Prior called this ‘ethnic cleansing’, where God’s Covenant with the Israelites “was integrally linked with the mandate to exterminate the indigenous peoples… Since 1948 the international community has, through the UN, sought to counter this dehumanisation by asserting Palestinians’ humanity and the applicability of human rights and humanitarian law to Israel’s occupation of Palestine’s remnants. Whilst Israel, through its leadership, supporters and culpable international allies, has tried very hard to present Palestinians as sub-human, undeserving of the same protections assumed to belong to the rest of us, the inherency of human rights cannot be disregarded and challenging these ideas is imperative on both political and moral grounds. Peace does not come through dehumanisation and delegitimation, through subjugating a people into submission. As Israeli Gideon Levy writes, “[a]s long as they are not considered human beings, … there will be no justice, and of course no peace, either”[35, 36].
Professor Richard Dawkins in his book “The God Delusion” reported the findings of Israeli psychologist George Tamarin: “Tamarin presented to more than a thousand Israeli school children, aged between eight and fourteen , the account of the battle of Jericho in the book of Joshua [which states] Then they utterly destroyed all in the city, both men and women, young and old, oxen, sheep, and asses, with the edge of the sword … Tamarin then asked the children a simple moral question: “Do you think Joshua and the Israelites acted rightly or not? They had to choose between A (total approval), B (partial approval) and C (total disapproval). The results were polarized: 66 per cent gave total approval, and 26 per cent total disapproval, with rather fewer (8 per cent) in the middle with partial approval … Tamarin ran a fascinating control group in his experiment. A different group of 168 Israeli children were given the same text from the book of Joshua, but with Joshua's name replaced by “General Lin” and “Israel ” replaced by “a Chinese kingdom 3,000 years ago”. Now the experiment gave opposite results. Only 7 per cent approved of General Lin's behaviour, and 75 per cent disapproved… It was religion that made the difference between children condemning genocide and condoning it” [37, pages 253-257].
(b) Roman era (63 BCE – 638CE). 63BCE, Roman conquest; 63BCE - 638 CE, part of the Roman Empire and thence the Byzantine Empire (Eastern Roman Empire), notably punctuated by rule by the Roman vassal Jewish Edomite Herod the Great (from 37 BCE to – 4 CE), the life of Jesus Christ (circa 4 BCE-30 CE), the 63-73 CE Jewish Zealot revolt, the 132-135 CE Bar Kochba revolt and the hugely over-exaggerated “Jewish Exile” with Judaea eventually named Syria Palaestina and Jerusalem named Aelia Capitolina; foundation of Constantinople in 330 CE by Constantine who legalized and preferenced Christianity, Theodosius I the last Emperor to rule both the Eastern and Western halves of the Empire (in 379–395CE), fall of the Western Roman Empire to the Germanic invaders in 476 CE, Seleucid Persian rule ( 615-629CE; the Sassanids and Jews slaughtered tens of thousands of Christians in the city), terminating in Muslim conquest of Jerusalem in 638CE [25-28, 30].
Comments. The Romans took about 100,000 Jewish prisoners in the First Jewish War (63-73 CE) who would have become slaves, while leaving the millions of the Jewish and non-Jewish inhabitants of Palestine to continue to produce goods, make money and pay taxes to Caesar. Many Jewish and non-Jewish Palestinians would have become Christians and thence Muslims after the Arab conquest of Jerusalem in 638 CE. Professor Shlomo Sand points out that the cultural and ethnic descendants of the Palestinian Jews from the time of Christ are actually today's Palestinians, and that the Jewish Israelis who are effecting a genocidal Palestinian Exile today are mostly the descendants of Yemeni, Berber and Khazar converts to a universalist Jewish religion in the first millennium AD (Christianity sold a heavenly after-life for the observant and forgiven transgressors, whereas Judaism sold the very practical notion that God would look after you and smite your enemies in this life provided you observed His laws) [27].
One notes that the French city of Calais was an important part of England for over 2 centuries (1347-1558) as a gateway of England to European trade [38]. England has a much greater claim on Calais than the Zionists do on Jerusalem. Similarly, London (Londinium) was founded by the Romans in 43CE and was the capital of Roman Britain (Britannia) until the Saxon invasions in circa 400CE. Indeed the Latin language and Roman culture continued to be of major importance to the intellectual life of England and Britain right up to the 20th century [39]. The Italians have a vastly greater claim on London (ruled by Romans for 400 years) and indeed on Jerusalem (ruled by Rome and thence the eastern Roman Empire for about 700 years, 63BCE - 638 CE) than the Zionists do on Jerusalem that was at best (assertedly) ruled by Israelites for only several hundred years and then only as a minor subject governate (satrapy) of the successive Egyptian, Assyrian, Babylonian, Persian, Hellenic and Roman Empires.
Professor Shlomo Sand disputes the mass Exile of Jews from Palestine under the Romans (the Romans did not have trains and cattle trucks). Indeed the largely fictional Exile is a key part of 2000 years of Orthodox Jewish theology which holds that the Jews were punished for their transgressions by Exile and can only return to Zion (Jerusalem) when the Messiah arrives to reveal the glory of the Lord to all Humanity, this (humanitarian considerations aside) being the fundamental basis of Orthodox Jewish opposition to Zionism [12, 40-43].
The cultural and ethnic descendants of the Palestinian Jews in Roman times are actually today's Palestinians, with Jewish Israelis largely deriving from Yemeni, Berber and Khazar converts [27]. Indeed recent genetic studies have shown that there is substantial prehistoric European ancestry amongst Ashkenazi Jewish maternal lineages [44]. No mass Exile is alluded to in the detailed contemporary account of the Roman Jewish war by Jewish Roman Titus Flavius Josephus [45].
(c) Muslim Arab rule (638-1917CE). 638-1917CE Muslim rule, notably punctuated by Seljuk Turkish rule (1073-1098CE), Western European First Crusade Crusader rule (1098-1187CE; Muslims and Jews massacred; reconquered by Saladin), temporary Christian rule (1229- 1244 as part of a deal to end the Sixth Crusade), rule by Khwarezmian Tatars (1244-1247; driven out by Egyptian Ayyubids), rule by Egyptian Mamluks (1260-1517), rule by Ottoman Empire (1517-1917; terminated by British conquest in WW1.
Comments.
Jerusalem has been continuously Muslim Arab-ruled for about 1,300 years except for a century of variously genocidal Christian rule at the time of the Crusades.
(d) British rule (1917-1948). 1917-1948 British rule was punctuated by the despicable Balfour Declaration (1917) granting Palestine to the Zionists as a Jewish Home, the WW1 Palestinian Famine (100,000 died), mass Jewish immigration (in 1880 there were 500,000 Arabs and 25,000 Jews in Palestine of whom half were immigrants; by 1948 there were 1,320,000 Palestinians and 650,000 Zionist colonizers) [46, 47].
Comment. The wonderfully humane Mahatma Gandhi put it so simply thus: “Palestine belongs to the Arabs in the same sense that England belongs to the English or France to the French. It is wrong and inhuman to impose the Jews on the Arabs. What is going on in Palestine today cannot be justified by any moral code of conduct. The mandates have no sanction but that of the last war. Surely it would be a crime against humanity to reduce the proud Arabs so that Palestine can be restored to the Jews partly or wholly as their national home. The nobler course would be to insist on a just treatment of the Jews wherever they are born and bred” [13, 48].
(e). Apartheid Israeli rule (1948 onwards). Genocidally racist Zionists have been responsible for a Palestinian Genocide involving successive mass expulsions (800,000 in 1948 and 400,00 in 1967) , ethnic cleansing of 90% of the land of Palestine and 2 million Palestinian deaths since 1935 from violence (0.1 million) or from violently-imposed deprivation (1.9 million), and 7 million Palestinian refugees; of 12 million Palestinians about 50% are forbidden to even step foot in their own country on pain of death, only 1.8 million Palestinian Israelis are permitted to vote for the government ruling all of the former Mandated Palestine, and 5 million Palestinians have zero human rights as Occupied Palestinians in West Bank Bantustans (3 million) or in the Gaza Concentration Camp (2 million) [2-17, 49].
Comments. Just as Henry VIII and his state apparatus took over the English Catholic Church in the 16th century, so the oil- and geostrategy-obsessed CIA and MI6 took over much of Jewry via the Zionist enterprise in the 20th century. However the anti-racist Jews who utterly detest the racist crimes of Apartheid Israel may today represent about 50% of Jews world-wide.
The immorality and obscenity of racism, genocidal colonialism, racist Zionism, Apartheid, Apartheid Israel and the Palestinian Genocide is exposed succinctly by outstanding Jewish American scholar Professor Jared Diamond who in his best-selling book "Collapse” (Prologue, p10, Penguin edition) enunciated the "moral principle, namely that it is morally wrong for one people to dispossess, subjugate, or exterminate another people" [50] – an injunction grossly violated by racist Zionist-run Apartheid Israel and its racist, genocide-committing and genocide-ignoring US Alliance backers.
However the racist evil of Apartheid Israel’s ongoing Palestinian Genocide has utterly besmirched public life in the Zionist-subverted, Zionist-perverted and Apartheid Israel-backing Western countries of the US Alliance, and has had a devastating impact on the world through the 21st century, Zionist-promoted, US-led War on Muslims and the accompanying Muslim Genocide and Muslim Holocaust. In the 21st century a Zionist-subverted and perverted America has led a US Alliance War on Muslims, this being associated ,so far, with 32 million Muslim deaths from violence, 5 million, or from deprivation, 27 million, in 20 countries invaded by the US Alliance since the US Government’s 9-11 false flag atrocity [51, 52]. Apartheid Israel has invaded 12 countries and variously occupied the territory of all of its 5 neighbours. Post-1950 avoidable deaths from deprivation in 5 countries occupied by Apartheid Israel total 24 million [15]. The worst state crime of all is invasion and occupation of another country and the deadliness of such crimes is fully realized in avoidable deaths from imposed deprivation in the subject populations [15, 51].
Since the acquisition of nuclear weapons by Apartheid Israel in 1967, the US has progressively become a lackey of the Zionist state as revealed by war criminal Israeli PM Ariel Sharon declaring “We Jews control America” [53, 54]. Properly accounting for all long-term costs, the long-term accrual cost of Apartheid Israel to the US is about $40 trillion, an horrendous fiscal perversion that is inescapably associated with, for example, 27 million preventable American deaths since 9-11 [55], and a Global Avoidable Mortality Holocaust in which 17 million people die avoidably form deprivation each year and 1,500 million have died thus since 1950 [15]. Apartheid Israel has not confined itself to the ongoing Palestinian Genocide [3] and the ongoing Muslim Genocide and Muslim Holocaust [56] but has also been actively involved as a US “dirty tricks” surrogate in genocides around the world, notably the Myanmar Rohingya Genocide, the Maya Indian Genocide in Guatemala, the Sri Lankan Tamil Genocide, the South Sudan Civil War, the Syrian Genocide, and the Iraqi Genocide [2].
Pro-Apartheid Australia is second only to Trump America as a supporter of Apartheid Israel and has been subject to extraordinary and variously criminal subversion and perversion by Apartheid Israel and traitorous the racist Zionists and pro-Zionists [57]. Thus 100% of the MPs of the ruling Liberal Party-National Party Coalition are fervently pro-Zionist as compared to 70% of the Labor Opposition. The Coalition and Labor (collectively known as the Lib-Labs) are utterly disingenuous and racist when they endlessly assert that they are in favour of a negotiated 2-state solution between the powerful, nuclear-armed State of Israel (that they recognize and cravenly support) and the utterly impoverished and occupied State of Palestine (that they refuse to recognize). The Lib-Labs have utterly soiled Australia’s international reputation by being pro-Apartheid Israel and hence pro-Apartheid, anti-Arab anti-Semitic, pro-genocide and inherently anti-Jewish anti-Semitic by falsely conflating Apartheid Israel and its the immense crimes against humanity with all Jews (i.e. including anti-racist Jews who are utterly repulsed by Apartheid Israel’s genocidal crimes).
(3) Global Boycotts, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) against Apartheid Israel and its key supporters, pro-Apartheid US, Australia and Canada.
In the 1960 Sharpeville Massacre in which white South African police, faced with 7,000 Africans demonstrating against the racist Apartheid pass laws, opened fire, killing 69 Africans and wounding a further 220 [58]. A horrified world was galvanized into action and world-wide boycotts against Apartheid South Africa eventuated and were ultimately successful in bringing down Apartheid in 1993 [15]. Apartheid Israel’s ongoing Palestinian Genocide involves 2 million Palestinian deaths from violence, 0.1 million, or from imposed deprivation, 1.9 million, since WW1, the ethnic cleansing of 90% of Palestine, the highly abusive imprisonment of 5 million Occupied Palestinians in the Gaza Concentration Camp (2 million) or in West Bank ghettoes (3 million), exclusion of 7 million Palestinian exiles from Palestine, and the illegal annexation of Occupied East Jerusalem with the conversion of its Palestinian citizens into disempowered residents of a genocidally racist Apartheid rogue state [3]. The Zionist-subverted Anglosphere countries have opposed boycotts against Apartheid Israel but many people around the world apply Boycotts, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) against Apartheid Israel for crimes that dwarf those of neo-Nazi Apartheid South Africa.
BDS needs to have general support with UN backing and apply to the foremost supporters of Apartheid Israel, notably the Anglosphere countries of pro-Apartheid US, pro-Apartheid Australia, and pro-Apartheid Canada (one notes that those supporting Nazi Germany are considered to be pro-Nazi and those supporting Apartheid Israel are similarly regarded as pro-Apartheid). Pro-Apartheid UK has ameliorated its position by supporting the New Zealand-cosponsored UN Security Council Resolution 2334 that unanimously (except for US abstention) condemned Israeli crimes in the Occupied Palestinian Territories, including Occupied East Jerusalem [59-61].
The text of UN Security Council Resolution 2334 (2016) as relating to Occupied East Jerusalem is as follows:
“The Security Council,
Reaffirming its relevant resolutions, including resolutions 242 (1967), 338 (1973), 446 (1979), 452 (1979), 465 (1980), 476 (1980), 478 (1980), 1397 (2002), 1515 (2003), and 1850 (2008),
Guided by the purposes and principles of the Charter of the United Nations, and reaffirming, inter alia, the inadmissibility of the acquisition of territory by force,
Reaffirming the obligation of Israel, the occupying Power, to abide scrupulously by its legal obligations and responsibilities under the Fourth Geneva Convention relative to the Protection of Civilian Persons in Time of War, of 12 August 1949, and recalling the advisory opinion rendered on 9 July 2004 by the International Court of Justice,
Condemning all measures aimed at altering the demographic composition, character and status of the Palestinian Territory occupied since 1967, including East Jerusalem, including, inter alia, the construction and expansion of settlements, transfer of Israeli settlers, confiscation of land, demolition of homes and displacement of Palestinian civilians, in violation of international humanitarian law and relevant resolutions…
1. Reaffirms that the establishment by Israel of settlements in the Palestinian territory occupied since 1967, including East Jerusalem, has no legal validity and constitutes a flagrant violation under international law and a major obstacle to the achievement of the two-State solution and a just, lasting and comprehensive peace;
2. Reiterates its demand that Israel immediately and completely cease all settlement activities in the occupied Palestinian territory, including East Jerusalem, and that it fully respect all of its legal obligations in this regard;
3. Underlines that it will not recognize any changes to the 4 June 1967 lines, including with regard to Jerusalem, other than those agreed by the parties through negotiations… “ [59].
Trump America has opposed UN Security Council Resolution 2334 as has the Australian Coalition Government under fervent Zionist and Netanyahu supporters PM Malcolm Turnbull, this making pro-Apartheid Australia second only to pro-Apartheid Trump America as a supporter of Apartheid Israel. Pro-Apartheid, US lackey Australia disputes that East Jerusalem is occupied but may only move some diplomats to Jerusalem whereas Trump has shocked the world by insisting that America will move its whole embassy to Jerusalem. Pro-Apartheid Canada has been contemptibly muted in its opposition to Resolution 2334 and to buffoon Trump’s Jerusalem move. The UK, EU, the UN Security Council (excepting the US), most of the US Alliance, and all of the Muslim world utterly reject Trump’s acquiescence with Apartheid Israeli theft, racism and war criminality in relation to Occupied East Jerusalem.
The Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) is an international organization founded in 1969, consisting of 57 member states, with a collective population of over 1.6 billion as of 2008, describes itself as "the collective voice of the Muslim world", and works to "safeguard and protect the interests of the Muslim world”, According to the OIC: “The Extraordinary Islamic Summit, on 13 December 2017 in Istanbul, called on the United States of America to revoke its decision to recognize Al-Quds as capital of Israel, affirming its condemnation and rejection of this decision and the US President’s announcement to relocate the American embassy in the city. In its Final Communiqué, the Summit held the US administration fully responsible for any repercussions of it refusing to disavow this unlawful decision, taking it as a clear desertion by the US administration of its role as peace broker. The Summit also dismissed the decision as a gift to Israel for its continuous renouncement of agreements and blatant breach to international legitimacy. The call was also for the OIC Member States to impose political and economic restrictions on States, officials, parliaments, companies and individuals recognizing Israeli annexation of Al-Quds Al-Sharif, or engaging in any form with measures aimed at perpetuating Israeli colonization of the occupied Palestinian territories” [62].
The 14 nations apart from the US on the UN Security Council condemned Trump for recognizing Jerusalem as the Israeli capital this week. A joint statement by the ambassadors of Britain, France, Sweden, Germany and Italy stated that “[Trump’s action was] not in line with Security Council resolutions and was unhelpful in terms of prospects for peace in the region” [63]. Subsequently the UN Security Council unanimously (except for the US) approved an Egypt-drafted resolution that did not mention Trump or America but which expressed “deep regret at recent decisions concerning the status of Jerusalem”. Degenerate, racist, idiot Trump vetoed the draft resolution [64], with the racist, pro-Apartheid U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, Nikki Haley, asserting that “What we witnessed here in the Security Council is an insult. It won’t be forgotten” [64].
Trump America has been diplomatically isolated by its support for Israeli racism, theft, human rights abuses and war crimes over Occupied East Jerusalem. The US is formally alone on this even among the “5-eyes” Anglosphere intelligence-sharing club members, noting that the UK and New Zealand have explicitly condemned the move. However Zionist-subverted, pro-Apartheid, US lackey Trudeau Canada has been careful and mealy-mouthed in its response. Canada ranks third after Australia (number 2) and the US (number 1) as a supporter of Apartheid Israel, was muted in relation to UNSC Resolution 2334, and has a dirty record of opposing UN motions re Palestinian human rights. Liberal Trudeau Canada has the same rotten pro-Apartheid Israel stance as that of Conservative Harper Canada. Thus Canada joined with the US, Apartheid Israel and several tiny US lackey Pacific states to oppose UN General Assembly (UNGA) motions for the protections of the Geneva Convention to Palestinian civilians in the occupied territories (UNGA resolution 17/96 backed by 169 countries), a UNGA motion to "promote the realization of the inalienable rights of the Palestinian people, including their right to self-determination, to support the achievement without delay of an end to the Israeli occupation that began in 1967 and of the two-state solution on the basis of the pre-1967 border" (24 November 2016), UNGA motions calling on Israel to respect the "special international regime" status of Jerusalem, and a UNGA resolution to disavow Israeli ties to Jerusalem (December 2017, the resolution passed 151-6). The only bright light in pro-Apartheid Canada is the small, progressive National Democratic Party (NDP) whose new leader, Jagmeet Singh, called Trump's move an "unacceptable decision" that is "counterproductive and divisive" [65].
Zionist-subverted, US lackey, pro-Apartheid Australia ranks second in the world after the US as a supporter of Apartheid Israel. It has a dirty record of variously joining with the US, Apartheid Israel, pro-Apartheid Canada and tiny US lackey nations to oppose UNGA motions supportive of Palestinian human rights. Thus after the November 2013 Australian elections that returned a Coalition Government, Australia abstained (with 7 other countries) from voting on a resolution demanding that Apartheid Israel cease “all Israeli settlement activities in all of the occupied territories” (about 160 nations supported the resolution) [66]. In December 2013, Australia voted no (with 12 other countries) to a resolution calling on Israel to “comply scrupulously” with the Geneva Convention (169 countries voted yes) [66]. In December 2014 in its final craven and cowardly act as a US lackey member of the United Nations Security Council, Australia was one of just two countries (Australia and the US) to vote against a motion proposing Palestinian statehood. Eight countries voted for the motion while five abstained [67, 68]. In 2015 the US, Apartheid Israel and 6 US lackey states – Australia, Canada, Marshall Islands, Federated States of Micronesia, Palau, and Tuvalu – invited comprehensive global Boycotts, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) against their citizens, institutions, goods and services by voting against a UN General Assembly motion, passed with 119 in favour and 45 abstentions, allowing for the raising of the State of Palestine flag at the UN Headquarters and offices [69]. Overall, pro-Apartheid Australia has a dirty, racist and disgusting record of supporting Israeli human rights abuses [70].
On the occasion of war criminal Israeli PM Netanyahu’s visit to Australia in 2017 , PM Malcolm Turnbull reiterated his opposition to BDS and UN resolutions critical of Apartheid Israel in an article published in the right-wing Murdoch newspaper “The Australian”: “My government will not support one-sided resolutions criticising Israel of the kind recently adopted by the Security Council [2334] and we deplore the boycott campaigns designed to delegitimise the Jewish state” [70, 71].
In relation to Occupied East Jerusalem, pro-Apartheid Australia actually disputes whether East Jerusalem is occupied. Thus, after consulting with Foreign Minister Julie Bishop, Australian Attorney General George Brandis formally declared: “The description of East Jerusalem as ‘Occupied East Jerusalem’ is a term freighted with pejorative implications, which is neither appropriate nor useful. It should not and will not be the practice of the Australian Government to describe areas of negotiations in such judgmental language” [72]. Similarly the Australian Coalition PM , Tony Abbott, declared (2014): “There has been no change in policy – absolutely no change in policy. There's been a terminological clarification. We absolutely refuse to refer to occupied East Jerusalem” and Foreign Minister Bishop repeatedly refused to use the term “occupied” during an interview, saying: “I am not getting into that debate. I call it East Jerusalem, you can’t force me to call it something … if that is a geographic name that is its name” [73, 74].
Extreme right-wing, Trump-like former Australian Liberal Party-National Party Coalition PM Tony Abbott was replaced as PM in September 2015 by a smooth-talking, all-smiles, assertedly “sensible centre” but actually lipstick-on-a-pig PM Malcolm Turnbull who remains hostage to the extreme right of the Coalition. Tony Abbott continues to spout a pro-neoliberalism, pro-war, anti-gay rights, and pro-Apartheid Israel line from the backbench. In November 2013, Australia under PM Abbott opposed a UNGA order supported by 158 countries to stop illegal Israeli settlement construction. In June 2014 the Abbott government refused to label East Jerusalem "occupied". Further, in relation to Jerusalem, Tony Abbott recently declared (2017): “[An Australian demonstration of] unswerving support for Israel, as the Middle East's only liberal, pluralist democracy [!], might be to join any move by the Trump administration to move its embassy to Jerusalem. And Australia should cut our $40 million a year in aid to the Palestinian Authority while it keeps paying pensions to terrorists and their families” [75]. In 2016 Liberal senator James Paterson argued that "Jerusalem is Israel's capital and we should respect that by putting our embassy where they choose to have their capital". Head of the Palestinian delegation in Australia, Izzat Abdulhadi, protested "International law deems East Jerusalem as occupied Palestinian territories—a position that is held by the overwhelming majority of the international community" [75].
Australian PM Turnbull has trashed Australia’s international reputation and isolated a pariah Australia from Humanity by making Australia second only to the US as a supporter of nuclear terrorist, racist Zionist-run, genocidally racist, grossly human rights-abusing, ultra-violently anti-Semitic, democracy-by-genocide Apartheid Israel. Turnbull has embraced Apartheid Israel with praise, falsehood and racist exceptionalism on the occasion of the visit to Australia by serial war criminal Israeli PM Netanyahu. US- and Zionist-perverted Australian Labor is creeping towards decency over Palestinian human rights. Thus Labor Foreign Minister Bob Carr overcame fervent Zionist PM Julia Gillard’s demand to vote against Palestinian statehood and got the Labor Government to abstain [!] at the UN. Yellow, Zionist-subverted, US lackey Labor still refuses to recognize the State of Palestine, although it has laudably threatened to do so soon if there is no progress in “peace talks”. In contrast, the extreme right-wing, racist, US lackey, pro-Zionist, anti-science, effective climate change denialist, climate criminal, neoliberal and Australian–killing Coalition Government is moving in the other direction [70].
Australia, like Apartheid Israel, arose as an entity through racist European colonization and ongoing genocide of the Indigenous population. Thus the Indigenous Australian population dropped from about 1 million in 1788 to about 0.1 million a century after invasion due to violence, dispossession, and deprivation. The Aboriginal Genocide continues with about 4,000 Indigenous Australians dying avoidably each year. Indeed about 2 million Aborigines have died untimely deaths from deprivation since 1788. There were up to 750 unique Aboriginal groups and associated languages and dialects in 1788 but only 150 remain with all but 20 endangered. Aboriginal Ethnocide (Aboriginal Cultural Genocide) continues through deprivation, removal of bilingual education and continued removal of Indigenous children from their mothers at a record rate. About 0.1 million Indigenous Australian died violently in the “frontier wars” with violent extermination of Indigenous Australians (Aboriginal, Aborigines) only ceasing in about 1930 [83].
On the basis of rejection of UN Security Council Resolution 2334 re Israeli crimes in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, and lavishly welcoming Netanyahu to Australia, Australia is now second only to the US as a supporter of Apartheid Israel [84]. Indeed the other countries of the Anglosphere, the US, UK, Canada, New Zealand and the former Apartheid South Africa, were also based on racist colonization and genocide of the Indigenous populations [15]. Like Australia, these colonization- and genocide-based Anglosphere countries are notorious in their support for colonization- and genocide-based Apartheid Israel. However, these pro-Apartheid Israel Anglosphere countries have not confined themselves to genocide of Indigenous people within their borders. Thus Australians have invaded 85 countries as compared to the British 193, France 82, the US 70 (50 after WW2), Germany 39, Japan 30, Russia 25, Canada 25, Apartheid Israel 12 and China 2 [85-89]. 30 of these Australian invasions have been associated with genocide as defined by the UN Genocide Convention [89]. To be fair to the “5-eyes” members UK and New Zealand , one notes that the unanimous 14-0 vote on UN Security Council Resolution 2334 (the US abstained) included the UK and New Zealand, with New Zealand being a co-sponsor of the resolution and consequently facing the threat from Apartheid Israel that this was a “declaration of war” [90, 91].
While there were always a few decent Labor MPs concerned about Palestinian human rights (notably the wonderful humanitarians Julia Irwin, Melissa Parke and Maria Vamvakinou), the Parliamentary Labor Party shifted towards humanity under the fervently pro-Zionist Gillard Labor Government in a process led by Foreign Minister Bob Carr but opposed by strongly pro-Zionist PM Gillard. This resulted in US lackey Australia under Labor cravenly abstaining from the 2012 UN vote for recognizing the State of Palestine, albeit with non-voting, observer status. This UN General Assembly vote came on the 65th anniversary of the UN vote on the Partition Plan that created the State of Israel, and was passed with 138 countries in favor, 9 opposed, and 41 abstentions, including that of Australia. However, for decent Australians this represented a significant if tiny shift towards decency and Australian self-respect. US lackey, pro-Zionist Julia Gillard (who wanted Australia to vote no) was installed as PM in the US approved, Mining Company-backed and pro-Zionist-led Coup against PM Kevin Rudd in 2010. Kevin Rudd had raised the ire of the traitorous Zionist Lobby by mildly objecting to the repeated, large-scale Israeli forging of Australian passports for terrorist purposes and the (soon to be repeated) violent kidnapping of Australian citizens in international waters by Apartheid Israeli state terrorists (that possibly included traitorous, dual citizenship Israeli-Australians) [92-94]. Labor’s continuing opposition to Palestinian statehood is a contemptible and racist position although couched in “politically correct” terms like so much of look-the-other-way Australia’s myopic perfidy that can be described as “politically correct racism (PC racism) [95- 99].
On circa 26 May 2013, 4 months before the 7 September 2014 Federal Election, Julie Bishop (then Deputy Leader of the Liberal Party-National Party Coalition Opposition and now Foreign Minister of Australia) told the pro-Zionist Murdoch-owned newspaper The Australian: "The Coalition will institute a policy across government that ensures no grants of taxpayers' funds are provided to individuals or organisations which actively support the BDS campaign… It is inappropriate for Associate Professor Lynch to use his role as director of the taxpayer-funded CPACS [Centre for Peace and Conflict Studies, University of Sydney ] . . . in support of the anti-Semitic BDS campaign." [100-103].
Finally, one notes that while a yellow, US lackey Australia is not going to move its embassy to Jerusalem for fear of massive trade repercussions, Foreign Minister Julie Bishop told Jewish community groups in 2017 that she was open to having Australian diplomats based in Jerusalem [104]. However just as the Premier of the State of Victoria, Daniel Andrews, was opening a Victorian trade and investment office in Tel Aviv, Coalition MPs said it should have been located in Jerusalem. Thus the Victorian State Liberal Party-National Party Coalition under State Opposition Leader Matthew Guy issued the following statement: “It is clear that both the Jewish community of Victoria and the state of Israel support the Liberal Nationals' decision to base a Victorian government business office in Jerusalem" [105].
Final comments.
Thoughtless, racist, pro-Apartheid Trump’s decision to move the US Embassy to Jerusalem has left America diplomatically isolated except for Apartheid Israel, pro-Apartheid Australia and pro-Apartheid Canada. Of the “5-eyes” Anglosphere intelligence club, the UK and New Zealand have strongly opposed the Trump move and supported UN Security Council Resolution 2334. . US lackeys pro-Apartheid Australia and pro-Apartheid Canada have been muted in their response to Trump’s move with pro-Apartheid Australia saying that it might shift some Australian Embassy staff to Jerusalem. The US, Australia and Canada rank 1, 2 and 3 respectively, as the world’s leading supporters of nuclear terrorist, racist Zionist-run, genocidally racist, anti-Arab anti-Semitic and intrinsically anti-Jewish anti-Semitic democracy-by-genocide Apartheid Israel.
Enough is enough. The century-long, ongoing Palestinian Genocide is an affront to decent Humanity and has so far involved successive mass expulsions (800,000 in 1948 and 400,00 in 1967) , ethnic cleansing of 90% of the land of Palestine, 2 million Palestinian deaths since 1935 from violence (0.1 million) or from violently-imposed deprivation (1.9 million), and 7 million Palestinian refugees. Of 14 million Palestinians about 50% are forbidden to even step foot in their own country on pain of death, only 1.8 million Palestinian Israelis are permitted to vote for the government ruling all of the former Mandated Palestine, and 5 million Palestinians have zero human rights as Occupied Palestinians in West Bank ghettoes (3 million) or in the Gaza Concentration Camp (2 million).
Decent Humanity will simply not tolerate this evil inhumanity any longer. UN General Assembly members, UN Security Council members, EU members and indeed US Alliance members overwhelmingly oppose the Trump ,move. The Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) has called on “ the OIC Member States to impose political and economic restrictions on States, officials, parliaments, companies and individuals recognizing Israeli annexation of of Al-Quds Al-Sharif [Occupied East Jerusalem], or engaging in any form with measures aimed at perpetuating Israeli colonization of the occupied Palestinian territories”. Humanity as a whole will surely follow and adopt comprehensive Boycotts, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) against Apartheid Israel and its supporters, the chief of which are pro-Apartheid America, pro-Apartheid Australia and pro-Apartheid Canada.
