Sixty nine years is the total duration "Israelis" have been living the hallucination that Palestine is theirs.
Of course this mirage has required a profound level of denial and fallacy the "Israelis" have been engaged into ever since. But the deepest point of refutation the "Israelis" have just marked was days ago. The Military Prosecution Authority of the "Israeli" Army proposed renaming senior officials and pilots to prevent them against any arrest attempts while they are on their missions abroad on the charge of committing massacres and war crimes.
Despite the fact that this proposal does not fit the "Israeli" arrogance; as they always seemed unashamed of their lies and practices, it was of a necessity after a British court has issued an arrest warrant against Major General Doron Almog, a senior "Israeli" commander suspected of a countless human rights violations inside the Occupied Palestinian Territories during the period of December 2000 up until July 2003. Almog is accused of various brutal acts among which is the mass murder on 22nd July 2002, when a one ton bomb was dropped on Gaza killing 15 Palestinians and injuring 150 others, as well as the destruction of 59 houses in Rafah refugee camp on 10th January 2002.
The warrant was issued against him while he was on his way to Heathrow Airport on September 10, but he had to take the return flight to Tel Aviv to escape arrest.
This comes after years of futile efforts to obtain justice via the "Israeli" judicial system. Because of the failure of the "Israeli" judiciary to combat impunity, the Palestinian human rights organization acting for the Gaza victims (PHCR) has built a file of evidence with the help of Hickman & Rose Solicitors to pursue a case against Almog in the UK in accordance with the legal principle of universal jurisdiction over war crimes.
In fact, Almog story consigns a very tiny space in the long bloody "Israeli" record. The "Israelis" have committed an array of unlawful and inhumane acts against the Palestinians throughout their occupation. Amid a long list of massacres is the famous of all; Deir Yessin in 1948 where 250 were slaughtered, bodies were mutilated, even before death, the culprits cut off parts and opened the bellies of others. This massacre was mainly committed to repel Palestinians from living on their lands and force them to flee. Another terrible massacre is Sabra and Shatilla, a refugee camp in Lebanon where literally 635 where killed and 2,500 injured in 1982. Only in two months, September to November 2000, 234 innocent lives were unlawfully taken by "Israeli" bombs.
Apart from the massacres, there is the continuous humiliation of the religious Palestinian properties; i.e. in 1967 the "Israelis" bombarded the Holy City of Jerusalem (al-Quds) where the central gate of Al Aqsa mosque was shattered and its dome was damaged. On 13th April 1983, Zionist-Jewish settlers held a circumcision ceremony inside the Ibrahimi Mosque, drinking wine and partying in desecration of Islamic standards. While in 1984, "Israelis" entered the Al Aqsa Mosque yard, holding weapons, during the prayer time. In October 2000, the occupiers have dug up a web of tunnels beneath the Al-Aqsa mosque and other Islamic sites and monuments in al-Quds claiming that there is a David's City under. But the only thing they found were Yebusite and Roman walls.
The "Israeli" acts became intolerable for many international and regional organizations. In 2003, the United Nations has issued a report stating that "the situation for the Palestinians is desperate and has reached crisis proportions...mass abuses of human rights have been going on for decades."
Also, human organization Amnesty International has reported that "Israeli" actions "constitute war crimes," strongly condemning the deliberate killings of Palestinians as well as the permanent destruction of their houses which has left hundreds homeless.
These few examples show to some extent the degree of violence and brutality the "Israelis" have been practicing against the Palestinians for decades now. Indeed these doings or cases do not illustrate only how merciless, vicious and inhuman the "Israeli" occupation is, but also how the Zionist state indulged in injustice, deceit and dissent.
Zionist-"Israel" occupied Palestine, claims it's hers, kills its people, disgraces the holy places and distinct the Palestinian momentums and heritage.
Zinoist-"Israel" has denied the Palestinians their rights, and now it's denying its own peoples' names to escape their sinful acts. Isn't this the peak of self-humiliation?
