Cinque voci, otto assassinii e una bomba



The exact spot where he died Yasser Qudaih
Khuza'a is a village in the southern Gaza Strip, in the governorate of Khan Younis. There are about 12 thousand inhabitants, the center is just over a kilometer from the Israeli border and the movement restrictions created by the occupation forces are considerable. The fact that I'm about to tell takes place in Khuza'a, il 13 gennaio 2009, durante l'attacco genocida e terrorista di Israele detto “piombo fuso”. Non è l'unico episodio riferito a questo villaggio, e certamente non è nemmeno il più tremendo di quel periodo, ma vale la pena raccontarlo.

I personaggi narranti sono cinque diversi abitanti, tre donne e due uomini, che direttamente o indirettamente hanno vissuto quel momento.


Nada Aburoch
Nada Aburoch, 53 year old woman
" During the invasion two years ago, during the genocidal attack that lasted three weeks, Israel used white phosphorus against us and other terrible weapons, my Mamdouh two eldest sons (22y.o.) and Medhat Aburok (17 years) helped the neighborhood administering first aid, even though they had no certificate or particular expertise, was horrible, people were dying and ambulances could not get the time because the snipers were still to shoot ... My oldest son, Mamdouh, was studying computer science at university, while working in a restaurant to pay for studies. After the Israeli attack with white phosphorus in Khuza'a (around January 10th) we went there with his family, and my two older sons were there. They wanted to guard the house because it was not torn down and continue to help the neighborhood. I was very worried, and what has happened since has confirmed my worst nightmares "

Qudaih Sabrin, 35 years, women:
" My husband Yasser Qudaih traded fruit and vegetables also grow anything here before. During the war we have strayed from Khuza'a because it was dangerous, we had refugees to Abusan (neighboring village) to my sister's house, because they were safer. My husband had returned during the cease-fire to see how the situation was: we were told that the Israelis were destroying all the empty houses, so he wanted to go see what was going on. Thought to be safe during the cease-fire, but it was not so. "


Gada Quiah, 34 years, women:
" Qudaih Mohammed was 15 years old, was my eldest son. He was a football fan, played in a small local team and loved it. A school was first class, the teacher remembers him with affection, came here to visit me once.
Since the invasion, you know, we had no electricity, recharge cell phones shop opposite the house that had the generator. It was the cease-fire and my baby was going to take ... when the disaster happened was right in front of the house, right here in front. "


Salem Mohammed Odeh
Salem Mohammed Odeh , 31 anni, uomo:
Tutto è successo durante il cessate il fuoco. Le forze israeliane avevano concesso 3 ore di cessate il fuoco al giorno, ed in quelle 3 ore i tanti che erano scappati nei villaggi vicini approfittavano per venire a controllare le proprie case e prendere cose che servivano. Anche chi non era scappato sfruttava il momento per uscire a comperare i beni di prima necessità nei pochi negozi che aprivano.
Qui siamo al primo piano e giusto sotto casa c'è un negozio di alimentari. Sono sceso un time to buy something, there was a small group of people who had gathered in front of the shop. I remember they were talking about a guy who was running away from his home because he was too close to the border and panic had knocked at the wrong door, I do not remember exactly ... I was telling these people not to gather, not being all together, to disperse because even if they declared a cease-fire not to be trusted ... the Israelis were in heaven zannana a (drone) and two apache (helicopters) of the occupation forces.
I was struck by the explosion in the left leg, I lost a lot of blood, and they took me to the hospital with the same ambulance which carried the bodies of the dead. While waiting at the hospital I saw so many people get that I was afraid that all were dead or wounded Khuza'a "

Sabrin Qudaih :" My husband Yasser had just gone to see that had been our home, and to make children's clothing. When I heard the explosion I called Khuza'a to hear if my husband was well, and at the beginning I have said yes, they told me that my brother was dead. When I discovered that my husband had been killed during the explosion, was a tremendous trauma. The bomb caught him discharged dall'Apache right outside the door of his house as he spoke with a group of kids was outside the supermarket. It was just leaning against the wall, one meter away from the gate ... "

Nadra Aburoch :" My two eldest children, after three days away from the family that made sure that nothing happened to our house and were providing relief to the neighborhood in which they had finally decided to join us in Khan Younis. The eldest, Mamadouh, had found a car and stopped a moment to the area to predict Medhat shop and buy a snack. After the explosion they found part of the snack in the mouth of the corpse and hand in your pocket pants "

Quiah Gada" in front of the shop opposite the house where my baby was going to charge the phone battery had gathered a little 'people, and I heard a big bang. The street was full of blood and pieces of dead bodies, it was terrible, there was glass everywhere because all the windows of the building where there was the shop were too high, even those on the first floor of the dwelling. My son did not die immediately, he died an hour later, they had brought into the store where they were all waiting for the ambulance ... I still wore the jeans at the time.

Store Naji Qudaih
Qudaih Naji, 49, is the owner of a small supermarket opposite which occurred the explosion. He moved the store a few hundred meters on the same street, the shop is very small, the size of a closet, when we interviewed him there was no current and the little light came through the metal door open.
" I opened the store during the cease-fire, also to provide a service to villagers who needed to stock up on essential goods and electricity to charge the batteries of mobile phones, in fact I had the generator running. Someone had gathered, and the Apache dropped a bomb right where the people had stopped talking. After the explosion we brought the wounded inside the store to provide first aid, because it was a dangerous area and they put a lot of ambulances to arrive. The ambulance arrived after 45 minutes ... not all the victims died at the time, 3 we have put in more time, I particularly remember a boy of 15 years (Mohammed Qudaih), was shot in the head, but when he entered the shop was still alive. If the ambulance was arrivata in tempo forse si sarebbe salvato.”

Otto palestinesi, padri di famiglia e ragazzini con delle vite “normali”, uccisi mentre chiacchieravano davanti ad un supermercato, da una bomba lanciata da un elicottero Apache israeliano:
YASSER QUDAIH, 34 anni, sposato, 5 figli
MOHAMMED QUDAIH, 15 anni
MAMDOUH ABUROUK, 22 anni
GASSON ABUZER, 23 anni
Alaa ABURIDA
Suliman QUDAIH
Mamdouh MOUSAID QUDAIH

Salem Mohammed Odeh 'C' were pieces of bodies of people murdered across the street, some pieces have also reached my terrace, including a portion of an arm ... other pieces of flesh were found the next day near the tree opposite, a scene I will never forget! If I think that the Israeli media have come to argue that they were militants resistance ... as you may think this is true? In this village is all flat, the border can see everything, is not the place for action of armed resistance, were all civilians, were dressed in civilian clothes ... Yasser was right opposite the entrance to the house, had been part of the resistance would not have been there! I remember at least 3 others wounded in addition to me: Hamdam Qudaih had a bad wound with a piece that was entered into head, but managed to have an operation in Egypt and is now healed, Idah Qudaih had shrapnel and debris all over the body , the company does have just entered the hospital, and was saved. Medath I remember that was 17 years and a large splinter in the stomach "

Nadra Aburoch : “il mio figlio secondogenito, Medath, aveva ferite e frammenti nelle gambe e nello stomaco, lo hanno operato ma non sono riusciti ad estrarre tutti i frammenti, talvolta se ne sentono ancora al tatto sotto la pelle e gli fanno molto male soprattutto quando fa freddo..un paio di mesi fa ne è stato estratto uno dal piede e giusto ieri se ne poteva sentire uno sottopelle vicino al ginocchio. Credo che col passare del tempo si muovano naturalmente verso la pelle, dopo si possono estrarre, ma provocano molto dolore. Oggi Medath ha problemi psicologici, è molto nervoso, fa fatica a sostenere una conversazione rimanendo calmo; io I have diabetes and high blood pressure, another 11 years of my son cries often and needed psychological support, which was provided by a local association. "

Gada Quiah "They killed my baby for no reason 14 years, my firstborn. I cried so much. I could not recover ... the door initially opened on our street where the massacre happened, today I opened another on a side street, because every time I went out I was sick of them, before the eyes of mind the blood and bits of bodies in the street, I see my son with the broken head, review my baby died. I took a psychological treatment to overcome the trauma, I have to take my 8 year old daughter who wakes up at night and comes looking for mom and dad crying and shaking as he hears the sound of airplanes or helicopters. all my four children have seen the horror in that way, the shreds of meat after the explosion, and they are all smaller than what has been assassinated: they bring in the nightmare forever ... We were just thinking of leaving the house when it happened the massacre "

Four of the sons of Sabri Qudaih
Sabrin Qudaih : "now that my husband is dead, that was what worked at home, we live aid. The shock for me lasted a year, and I have to raise five children alone, I loved my husband. We Palestinians want our rights are respected, Israel must be punished for all crimes he committed during the genocidal attack two years ago and that makes every day. The Israeli media are liars, my husband was not in the resistance, was a civilian! What do you think that he would be killed in front of the house had been in the resistance? Children were massacred, nobody had weapons, had gathered because there was a shop next door, and, above all, everything has happened during the cease-fire! "

Naji Qudaih :" I am sure that none of the injuries that led to my shop had clothing that can be traced back to the uniforms of the resistance. No one 'among the wounded there' among the people that had gathered was armed. All the West talk about human rights, but it is a filling his mouth with words unnecessary, because when it comes to our human rights will not move a finger when it comes to Israeli crimes against our people in the West takes no position . When Israel is violating human rights are routinely ignored the facts. "

The coffee Gada Quidah
Gada Quiah : "Israel has hit just because those people had gathered, it makes absolutely no distinction between civilians and resistance, between adults and children. No more will I bring back my child. The Israelis are the barbarians. Why kill Palestinian children in this way? Why our children can not have a life like any other children? "

Salem Mohammed Odeh : "Although Israel has bombed Lebanon in kindergartens, it behaves the same way in all countries, wherever they kill unarmed civilians. And you know why? Why in the world does not matter, because all do not care, because when these crimes does all look the other way. States, institutions, the UN, everyone is silent. No one tells him to stop. None.

Essere contadini a Gaza

Bulldozer israeliano
“Chi semina buon grano, ha poi buon pane”, recita il proverbio. Ma per avere un buon pane, cioè un buon raccolto, è necessario prima di tutto poter accedere alla propria terra, è necessario che le forze di occupazione non lo impediscano sparandoti contro. È necessario poter irrigare, è necessario che l'esercito israeliano non bombardi il pozzo che usi per raccogliere l'acqua. È necessario, inoltre, che non arrivino bulldozer, scortati da carri armati, a distruggere quanto è stato seminato.

Jaber is thin and not very tall, has a tanned complexion, prominent cheekbones and calloused hands. He talks little, Jaber is patient, but also very determined. He comes from a farming family, has 45 years, and since he was six he helped his father to take care of almond trees. The land is cultivated between 300 and 500 meters from the border, and works in the uncertainty of being able to see the fruits of his land. Five years ago, the occupation forces set fire to his field of corn at harvest, sending smoke in the work and investments of one year. Firefighters were unable to arrive on time, because, due to the proximity of the field to no-go areas declared unilaterally by the occupation forces, requiring coordination with the Israeli army, and this coordination has not arrived. About a year ago, the bulldozers have destroyed most of his home, which was located about 400 meters from the border, the small farm of chickens, 40 dunams of wheat, 3 dunams of olive trees, and 3 dunams of vegetables. He says that if it was not released in time from his home with his family would have demolished them inside. Today Jaber grow onions in the ground where his old home.

Israel unilaterally declared "no-go zone" the strip of land that runs close the border to a distance of 300 meters. This area is completely inaccessible for Palestinians, even those who had their lands and crops. But according to a UN report says the area where access is "high risk" comes up to a kilometer and a half, sometimes two miles from the border. 35% of the arable land of Gaza are in this area as "high risk", and for farmers it is difficult or impossible to collect fruits from their land in this area. Israel's policy in this regard has every appearance of wanting to simply prevent farmers from cultivating their land, and to be able to reach some form of food self-sufficiency.
Always Jaber said: "Before we grew almonds, then Israel began to fill up our markets for almonds, by artificially calarne price, so those who cultivated the almond crop was converted into something else, then withdrew their almonds and the price is increased again, but we had no more almonds. The same thing happened with oranges. During the first intifada, closing the borders have prevented us from exporting vegetables, and at the same time, have prevented the fertilizer to enter ... and then things got worse and worse. "


Area north, the wall is visible in the right background, the buildings are those of the Erez crossing

Ibrahim lives in Khuza 'To the south of the strip. His house was destroyed during the war, and can not access the land they cultivate. He has a tractor to plow, but even with this there is little work, because where he lives most of the arable land is a few hundred meters from the border, and farmers without access. Yusef is also Khuza'a, and has two properties, one of 8 dunums and the other 24, both of them cultivated with wheat per fare il pane. Il terreno di 8 dunam non è più accessibile, si trova a 200 metri dal confine, mentre l'altro, a 300 mettri dal confine, non viene coltivato da 2 anni perchè quando prova a recarvisi le forze di occupazione iniziano a sparare.

Abu Taima, anch'egli al sud, racconta come all'inizio le forze di occupazione abbiano distrutto gli aranci, e poi non abbiano permesso la coltivazione nemmeno di grano ed altri vegetali, sebbene molto più bassi degli alberi. Nel 2008, nel 2009 e nel 2010 ha coltivato la sua terra, ma i bulldozer israeliani la hanno distrutta prima del raccolto. Sparano ai contadini che vanno a coltivare, e poi sradicano crops. They shoot and kill even the cattle and sheep to graze, the last sheep was killed just 700 meters from the border. The Zionist soldiers shoot when there is fog, without seeing clearly what hit. "I had 50 dunams of land, now they can no longer grow. There were ten people working for me, and each had a family of ten. Today, all these workers are unemployed, and depend on welfare programs or humanitarian assistance. "

The last farmer killed by Israel was 65 years old and his name Kharmoot Shaban, was shot Beit Hannoun, the north, with three bullets: one in the neck, one in the chest and one abdomen because he was cultivating his land as he had done over the past 40 years, and had no other alternative to support his family.

holes caused by bullets on the cloth of a greenhouse
The numbers of land for at least one year and not have borne fruit due to contamination from used white phosphorus during the Israeli invasion "lead time" : leaves from trees destroyed, contaminated land that gave poisoned fruit. Are been so poisoned the groundwater, wells were bombed, and access to water has become one of the main problems of the peasants. In particular, in the El Kharrara a well located more than 2 km from the border and provides water for drinking and irrigation of 700 dunams of land on which they depend 5,000 people, was bombed in molten lead, and since only few families can afford the transport tanks to large amounts of water for irrigation, this has caused problems for agriculture very strong. The bullet holes in the sheets that make up the greenhouses have allowed the pests to enter, and because of the siege can not import illegal pesticides and fertilizers. In the Faraheen soldiers shooting at farmers and land mines left on preventing workers to cultivate it. Also in frequent incursions are only or mainly affected the plants ready to bear fruit, which required effort and money to reach maturity : for example is an olive tree of life left in three years and a six-rooted.

In a region already devastated by a siege which prevents the import of many essential goods, which creates poverty and unemployment in one of the most populated areas of the world, this explicit policy to attack farmers and agriculture in general is another crime that can be summed to the long list of which Israel is guilty. UNRWA, the UN refugee agency, provides for some families with food donations quarterly, but is extremely cynical provide care in cases where the occupation forces, against every international agreement to prevent a nation of cultivate his bread and providing the same support.

Saber says:
"He was calm and quiet area near the border, seven in the morning Friday. I went with my tractor from 300 to 350 meters from the border. I wanted to grow because it was all quiet: if I heard shots and I was afraid I would have never gone. When I reached my floor, they opened fire, they destroyed the tractor. The medical report says that this has caused me psychological problems and psychosomatic disorders: panic in the mental and physical tension, heart rate changed, and I started taking medication. It happened in December 2007. "
" Obviously knew I was a farmer! I was wearing work clothes, was driving a tractor. A tractor to plow, not a tank: do not recognize it when they see it, perhaps? They binoculars with which we can monitor dozens of miles away, I have recognized. They knew that I was a farmer, and the proof is that after an apology saying it was an accident. I can count the hairs of the beard, how could they not know that I am a farmer? No, I knew I was a farmer, and I got shot on purpose, because I am a farmer and did not want me to stay here in my country. "

Cinque poesie di Mahmoud Darwish


Mahmoud Darwish was born in 1941 in al-Birweh, village razed nel 1948, durante la Nakba, la pulizia etnica della Palestina.
I suoi genitori si sono rifugiati in Libano e sono stati tra i pochi a riuscire a tornare illegalmente nella terra d'origine dopo un anno, senza nessun diritto civile o cittadinanza. A causa di questo ha passato diversi anni in prigione, e non ha potuto terminare gli studi nella sua terra. Ha vissuto buona parte della sua vita in esilio. È morto il 9 agosto 2008.



Potete legarmi mani e piedi
take my notebook and cigarettes
fill my mouth with earth
poetry is my blood of the living heart
of my bread, salt, light in my eyes.
is written in the nails, the look and iron,
sing the 'in my prison cell,
the bathroom
the stable
under the lash
between strains
agony of the chains.
I have inside me a million nightingales
to sing my song of struggle.



REFUGEE

They chained her mouth
and tied his hands to the stone of the dead.
They said: "Murderess",
they took food, clothes, flags
and threw him in the cell of dead.
They said: "Thief!"
have declined in all ports,
took away his little love,
then said: "refugees."
you who have feet and hands bloodied,
night is ephemeral,
it `chain rings are indestructible,
`grains because of my ear that is bothering
fill the valley of wheat.



PENSA AGLI ALTRI

Prepari la tua colazione pensa agli altri (non dimenticare il cibo per i piccioni)
Combatti la tua guerra
pensa agli altri (non dimenticare chi chiede la pace)
Paghi la bolletta dell’acqua
pensa agli altri (chi si nutre di nubi)
Torni a casa la tua casa
pensa agli altri (non dimenticare la gente nelle tende)
Dormi e conti le stelle
pensa agli altri (chi non ha spazio per dormire)
Liberi l’anima con le metafore
pensa agli altri (who has lost the right word) Think of all the others off
think to yourself
(Say, maybe I candle in the dark)



SINGING FOR ROADS

Singin 'in the streets, the fields,
our `spring look will make the observatory
more distant from the place
on site as deep
the place more beautiful,
where you do not see that l `aurora,
and does not feel that victory.
We will leave from our fields
We will leave our shelters in exile
We will leave our hiding places,
we have more shame, if the enemy offends us.
not blush
we wield a scythe,
s appiamo how to defend an unarmed man.
We also build
A modern factory
a house,
a hospital,
a school,
a bomb,
a missile.
And we write poems more beautiful.



IDENTITY CARD

Remember!
I am an Arab
and my identity card is number fifty thousand.
I have eight children
and the ninth will come after the summer.
V'irriterete?

Remember!
I am an Arab
used with the workers of the quarry
I have eight children
rocks revenue bread,
clothing and books.
not beg to your door
nor do I humble myself to the steps of your room
therefore ', you will be angry?

Remember!
I am an Arab
I have a name without Titles
and Patient in a country
whose people are enraged.
My roots
were entrenched before the birth of time
before the opening of the eras
first of pine and olive trees
and before it grew l’erba.

Mio padre... viene dalla stripe dell’aratro,
non da un ceto privilegiato
e mio nonno era un contadino
nè ben cresciuto
nè ben nato!

Mi ha insegnato l’orgoglio del sole
prima di insegnarti a leggere,
e la mia casa è come la guardiola di un sorvegliante
fatta di vimini e paglia:
siete soddisfatti del mio stato?
Ho un nome senza titolo

Ricordate!
Sono un arabo.
E voi avete rubato gli orti dei miei antenati
and the land which I cultivated
with my children,
leaving nothing
if these rocks
and the State take them.
As murmurs.

So '!
Write down on top of your page
not hate people
I have never abused anyone
But if I become affamanto
the s flesh becomes my food .
Be careful!
Be careful!
At my anger
and my hunger.

Como Se Llama Myammee

Prigionieri palestinesi nelle carceri israeliane

My piece Wake Up News

Every Monday at the headquarters of the Red Cross are nearly a hundred people. Most sono donne. Tengono in mano foto di figli e mariti. Raccontano di essere davanti alla sede della Croce Rossa perchè essa è l’unica organizzazione che può comunicare con i loro parenti, detenuti palestinesi nelle carceri israeliane .
Aysha Abujazan, donna di 55 anni proveniente da Rafah racconta che suo figlio Ahmad Jimah Abujazar è stato rapito e portato in carcere otto anni fa durante un raid israeliano, lo stesso giorno la loro casa è stata distrutta. Ahmad aveva 18 anni quando è stato rapito e deve scontare diciassette anni di carcere. Durante questi primi 8 anni di detenzione Aysha non ha potuto parlare con il figlio nemmeno per telefono .
Majdoub Ibrahim's mother, who was imprisoned when he was 19 years and now has 25, said his son was able to phone home once last year. Was taken because he was in a West Bank ID gazawo, and therefore, according to Israeli soldiers, had to be part of the resistance.
Since 1967, more than 760 000 Palestinians have had the experience of the Israeli jail. Among them there are 13 thousand women and 25 000 children aged 12 to 18 years.
According to data Infopal , currently the number of Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails is 6100, 214 of these are in administrative detention (ie, without charge, a situation which may be extended to the bitter end, even in one case for 60 months). 251 are minors, including 32 children under 16 years. Among the prisoners there are ten of Palestinian ministers and MPs, two of them were sentenced to life imprisonment: Marwan al-Barghouti and Mahmoud Ramah. 203 Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails have been killed after arrest or died in detention.




Fahmi Kanan is one of the 214 people who have stood in the Basilica of the Nativity for 39 days, then was deported to Gaza, passed in May will be 10 years without a chance to meet his family.
"I have a message to be disseminated, by the fortunes of Bethlehem - he explains - the international community and the UN to interfere to stop Israeli crimes against international law and in particular the Geneva Convention against . Do not allow people to review their family, as has happened to us and it happens constantly and all the prisoners is a crime, the families can not visit the prisoners and they are humiliated in prison. The world must act to release them! Shalid is the only prigioniero israeliano nelle carceri palestinesi , e tutto il mondo fa appelli perchè venga rilasciato, mentre noi abbiamo quasi settemila prigionieri nelle carceri israeliane e nessuno dice niente.
Aggiungo io che Shalid è stato preso durante l’invasione in un territorio sotto l’autorità palestinese, mentre gran parte dei prigionieri palestinesi sono stati rapiti, sottratti alle loro stesse abitazioni, e alle forze di occupazione israeliane non è necessario né un mandato né un pretesto per effettuare gli arresti.

Temporary Visitor Status Expired

Appello dagli studenti di Gaza: fare dell'apartheid week 2011 la più grande finora.

Siamo studenti palestinesi, artisti, intellettuali, insegnanti, attivisti ed individui di diverse perspectives and political affiliations. We are writing medieval and brutal siege that has brought Gaza to ask him to participate in and organize the seventh Israeli Apartheid Week (IAW - Israeli Apartheid Week) [1], which starts in all the world March 7, 2011. We call for solidarity groups and individuals to follow during this week, the vibrating footsteps of Tunisian and Egyptian creating a week of action against the Israeli Apartheid that echoes the strength and height of the movement against apartheid South Africa of the 70s and 80.

The aim of IAW is to inform people about the nature of Israel as an apartheid system and build campaigns for Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) as part of the global BDS movement. [2] During that week we ask you, courageous activists in solidarity with Palestine, to inform, to support boycott actions against Israel, and to give rise to mass direct action such as an unprecedented move people around the world so Israel remains without supporters. Here in Gaza would be happy to hook up with you through Skype video conferencing and radio interviews, to tell our lives in Gaza, the BDS campaign and the purpose of Israel Apartheid Week after the success of last year.

NOW is the time for mass action the boycott, divestment and sanctions, and highlighting opposition to the barbaric yoke of Israel, the murder and ethnic cleansing against us, the original people of Palestine. It is time now for all of us to intensify the message that governments complicit in the ongoing barbarism of Israel against our people will be stripped and changed. We salute the brave people of the Arab nomdo that inspired us so greatly in our fight against the biggest violator of UN resolutions, the biggest rogue state.

How long do we, Palestinians in Gaza, we hear that in our case is good to live under a siege Medieval confined by land, sea and sky? Most of us can not get out of this narrow strip of land, the largest open-air prison in the world and most adults can not possibly work. 800,000 of us, more than half of our population are children. We are still in mourning because of the Israeli attacks of winter 2009, when 1,400 people were killed, and among them 350 children. While human rights groups and the Goldstone report of the United Nations show and document the extensive catalog of abuses to human rights, crimes against humanity and collective punishment, international justice and governments do not act outrageously in any way. Because of this inaction, we expect more massacres, more land confiscations, imprisonments more and more racial subjugation.

course, Israel has the fourth strongest army in the world, but this never prevented Palestinians to resist. Now there are more possibilities than before to achieve justice. Before and we will act more powerfully, before this farce will end, and before the day comes that the people of Palestine may issue a sigh of relief, because at least we have the same human rights as anyone someone else, instead of this life in captivity, humiliation, broken dreams, broken homes and loss of people amate.

Oltre 170 organizzazioni palestinesi hanno lanciato un appello nel 2005 per boicottare, disinvestire ed imporre sanzioni contro Israele fino a che non ponga un termine alle sue politiche di occupazione e colonizzazione contro i nativi residenti nella terra occupata, fino a che non garantisca il diritto al ritorno del popolo palestinese alle proprie case, e dia uguali diritti ai palestinesi residenti in Israele.

Come molti eroi contro il regime razzista sudafricano, l'arcivescovo Desmond Tutu e Ronnie Kasrils hanno dichiarato che ci stiamo confrontando con un'oppressione più feroce di quella che hanno born to them, and joined the call for the boycott. In a tour of the West Bank, Madlala Routledge, South African Minister of Defence from 1999 to 2004 said: "It is hard for me to describe my feelings.

"

Please make this the biggest Israeli Apartheid week so far. NOW is the time to try and prevent the next massacre imines. Only the international civil society can discourage another massacre, can end the siege, can bring justice. If the international governments do not act, it's up to you to wake up the world and change the course of history. As in South Africa, the unbalance between the power of image in this struggle can be counterbalanced by a powerful movement in the head with the BDS.

Last year the Israeli Apartheid Week was held in 40 cities - this year there waiting for over a hundred. We Palestinians of the Gaza Bantustan acciamo appeal to you to start preparing now and make this an Israeli Apartheid Week will be remembered, but before a catalyst for change. You know we have the maximum the support you can give. The events of the last month show that in the Arab world can really be that an oppressive power is removed. It depends on us.
