Palestinians Are Not Israel’s ‘Neighbors’: 11 Corrections for PM Yair Lapid’s UN Speech
The
prime minister is not the first in the history of the UN to give a
speech filled with slogans and lies. In UN reports on Israel’s
domination over the Palestinians, leaders and their aides can find
information to refute them. The following remarks are meant to help them
navigate between the details

Prime Minister Yair Lapid was not the only one on Thursday, and not the
first in the history of the United Nations, to give a speech before the
General Assembly filled with slogans, lies, half-truths, propaganda,
historical distortions, fantasies and beaten-to-death statements. If
there were those expecting an original, honest and inspiring speech from
Lapid – they are the ones with the problem.
Lapid is also not the first Israeli
politician – and he won't be the last – to use the memory of the
Holocaust in vain, as Israel’s most successful propaganda nuclear
weapon. Mentioning the Holocaust is utterly predictable as a tool to
silence, in advance, even the mildest criticism of Israel’s rule over
the Palestinians.
The
problem is that there are too many heads of state in the General
Assembly willing to believe, or pretend they believe, the propaganda
that Israel is a peace-loving democracy, and also an innocent victim of
conspiracies and terrorism. This pretense rescues those countries from
the obligation to honor international conventions and international law,
and take firm measures against Israeli violations of the law.
Take, for example, the new prime minister of the United Kingdom
Elizabeth Truss, who has already stated that she is considering moving
her country’s embassy in Israel to Jerusalem. The very statement is
another prize awarded to Israel for the disaster it caused to
Palestinian Jerusalem by cutting it off from the rest of the territory
captured in 1967, another prize for its consistent policy of land
takeover in the city, for impoverishing the majority of is residents
while expelling many others out of its borders.
In regular UN reports on Israel’s
domination over the Palestinians, leaders, aides and foreign journalists
can find up to date and historical information refuting Lapid’s
deceptive pretenses. To help them and others find their way through the
abundance of details, and to clarify their significance, the following
comments are written here:
1. Let's start with the greenhouses of the Gaza Strip, which seems to be
the most bizarre piece of propaganda brought out of the attic for this
speech. Other than cheap Palestinian labor, the settlers’ greenhouses on
stolen land flourished before Israel's unilateral disengagement from
Gaza in 2005 for three main reasons: A regular supply of good water from
Israel and from within the Gaza Strip, a continuous supply of
electricity and access to markets and ports – the three conditions that
did not and do not exist for Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.
Israel imposes an autarchic water regime on
the Gaza Strip, as if it were a self-sufficient island geographically
cut off from the rest of the country. After all, it would have been only
appropriate if Israel supplied large quantities of water to Gaza rather
than the tiny quantities it sells the coastal enclave today as
compensation for what it pumps and steals from the Palestinians in the
West Bank. For over 30 years there has been excess pumping from the Gaza
Strip’s section of the aquifer with the result being too high salinity
in the best case – so the water is not suitable for many crops – and
pollution from the trickling down of sewage and toxins.
The
disrupted supply of electricity is due to internal disputes among the
Palestinians themselves, damage to infrastructure caused by Israeli
bombing, limitations on quantities of imported fuel and the general
economic deterioration caused by the blockade.

But the main obstacle were the draconian
restrictions on produce exports from Gaza to markets in the West Bank,
Israel and even overseas, from the beginning of the Second Intifada.
Even if farmers could overcome the problems of water and electricity,
they would be left with surplus produce and incur huge financial losses.
2.
“Lay down your weapons.” This was uttered by the head of a country
whose economic and diplomatic strength depends on its arms and espionage
industries, which have been developed in the world’s most available and
effective lab: The occupied Palestinian territory, whose population
resists and therefore is repressed by interrogations, weapons and
arrests.
3. The closure policy, or in other words the severe restrictions on
movement was imposed on the Strip back in January 1991, before the
suicide attacks, Hamas rockets and the establishment of the Palestinian
Authority. The closure policy has undergone a number of changes since
then, but the reason behind it was and remains a political rather than
military or security decision: To disconnect the population of the Gaza
Strip from that of the West Bank in order to foil the chance for a
Palestinian state based on the 1967 borders.
4. “We dismantled the military bases in
Gaza.” But not in the West Bank. Just as Israel believes it is entitled
to bomb in response to a shelling of Nahariya or Ashkelon, even if its
leaders live between Caesarea and Jerusalem – so does Hamas see itself
as entitled and even obligated to respond to the harm caused by Israel
to the West Bank's Palestinians. Luckily for us, Hamas does not have
that many rockets to respond to all Israeli attacks against
Palestinians' bodies, health, land, water, freedom and property.
5.
And what will happen if they lay down their weapons? The pretense that
Hamas is an equal military opponent to Israel serves its political
purposes and image, but it does not free Palestine. In contrast, it
helps Israeli propaganda.
6. Fake news and images of the deceased girl on Instagram. One needs a
great lack of self-awareness, disinterest and ignorance to enter this
arena of fake news about military operations and “uninvolved”
Palestinian civilians who were killed in Israeli bombing, shelling and
shooting. The army, its soldiers and commanders, and not social media,
have many times falsified facts concerning Palestinian casualties. They
correct themselves only when the person killed is famous and American
like Shireen Abu Akleh
or when there are videos refuting its first claims. Precise data on the
numerous civilian dead among the Palestinians can be found on the B’Tselem website.
7. The Palestinians are not Israel’s “neighbors.” They are the
indigenous people who emerged, lived in and developed the land between
the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea long before Zionist
immigration. Leaving aside the historical circumstances that led to its
founding, Israel was established at their expense through the expulsion
of over half of them and the creation of a political system that from
the beginning intended to exclude them.

8. Israel is a democracy for Jews. In other
words, it's not a democracy. Almost two million Palestinians are today
citizens of Israel who are discriminated against according to the law,
in the allocation of budgets and in work and study opportunities. They
are dispossessed of their lands and their history and are the target of
racist attitudes and actions, both individually and politically. The
Israel Police and Shin Bet security service are able to determine the
identity of a Palestinian who murdered an elderly Jewish woman
within an hour, but do not find and apprehend Palestinian citizens of
Israel who have murdered hundreds of other Palestinian citizens. This
alone summarizes the institutionalized discrimination and disrespect
against Palestinians.
9.
All the achievements of Israel’s Palestinian citizens in various areas
are the fruit of a long and determined civil struggle, and not a favor
Israel is doing for them.
10. Almost 5 million Palestinians live under the 55-year-old Israeli
military and Shin Bet rule – whether directly like in annexed East
Jerusalem and Area C, hybrid (direct and indirect) such as in the
Palestinian Authority enclaves or effectively as in the Gaza Strip. The
government of Israel determines nearly every significant parameter of
their lives. It controls the borders, it controls the water resources
and land that it appropriates according to its own desires, the freedom
of movement and thus the economy too, family and social connections. All
this while the Palestinians are deprived of any civil rights and are
barred from participating in the process of electing the government that
determines their lives.
11. "Two states for two peoples." Parroting
the hollow slogan is the required lip service in international forums.
But we can't accuse Lapid and his advisers of providing this service.
Here the blame lies with European and Arab nations, which have enabled
Israel for the last 30 years to carve up the territory designated for a
Palestinian state and turn it into small, disjointed enclaves surrounded
by constantly expanding settlement blocs.
Like
his predecessors, when Lapid blathers about “the two-state solution,”
he really means the seven state solution: Greater Israel and the six –
or maybe even more – Palestinian Bantustans.
I Haaretz 24. september 2022 opplyses at IDF i Hebron vil sette opp et automatisert system for å kunne angripe folkeansamlinger:
Israeli Army Installs Remote-control Crowd Dispersal System at Hebron Flashpoint Army
says it is examining the possibility of using the system for deploying
approved methods of crowd dispersal as part of 'preparations for
confronting those disrupting order'
Og mer detaljert: "The system in Hebron was created by Smart Shooter,
a company that designs systems to follow and lock in on targets using
image processing based on artificial intelligence. It prides itself on
its accuracy in hitting targets marked by its system, which can be
controlled remotely."
Lenge har IDF samlet foto av alle palestinere for å bygge opp databasen som "Smart Shooter" forutsetter. Men hvor smart er det å utvikle fjernkontrollerte beskytings-systemer som autoritære regimer kan ta i bruk?
Facebook og Twitter har tatt bort flere falske kontoer ... som noen sier er satt opp av Pentagon.
Disse kontoen har spredd tvilsom "informasjon" om flere land USA er uvenner med.
NÅ kan det bli oppvask.
Hvem står bak disse kontoene?:
"Pentagon opens sweeping review of clandestine psychological operations" "Complaints about the U.S. military’s influence operations using Facebook and Twitter have raised concern in the White House and federal agencies." (Washington Post 19.september 2022)
A senior member of the Senate Judiciary Committee recounts how anonymous donors seized control of the U.S. Judiciary, including the Supreme Court
Following his bookCapturedon corporate capture of regulatory and government agencies, and his years of experience as a prosecutor, Senator Sheldon Whitehouse here turns his attention to the right-wing scheme to capture the courts, and how it influenced the Trump administration’s appointment of over 230 “business-friendly” judges, including the last three justices of the United States Supreme Court.
Whitehouse traces the motive to control the court system back to Lewis Powell’s notorious memo, which gave a road map for corporate influence to target the judiciary, and chronicles a hidden-money campaign using an armada of front groups and helped by the infamousCitizens UnitedSupreme Court decision. The scheme utilized the Federalist Society as an appointments turnstile, spent secret millions to support the nominees, orchestrated an “amicus brief” signaling apparatus, and propped up front-group litigants to “fast-lane” strategic test cases to the friendly justices.
Whitehouse finds the same small handful of right-wing billionaires and corporations running operations that he likens to “covert ops,” ultimately enticing the Senate to break rules, norms, and precedents to confirm wildly inappropriate nominees who would advance the anti- government agenda of a small number of corporate oligarchs.
The world got a glimpse of this story when the Senator’s presentation at the Amy Coney Barrett hearing went viral. Now, full of unique insights and inside stories,The Schemepulls back the curtain on a powerful and hidden apparatus that has spent years trying to corrupt our politics, control our courts, and degrade our democracy.
Moshe Dayan var også kunst- og antikvitetstyv. Med sin sentrale rolle overfor de okkuperte palestinerne skaffet han seg antikvariske verdier for millioner. Dette var en kriminell aktivitet. Og salg oppga han ikke ... slik unngikk han skatt.
Hans begrunnelse for de omfattende tyveriene var å frata palestinerne deres historie og dermed deres tiknytning til landet.

DAYAN LEGACY PROMPTS DISPUTE ON ANTIQUITIES
2007 Israel Antiquities Authority
Israel Antiquities Authority inspectors foiled an attempt to smuggle an ancient statue head to an antiquities collector in the United States (07/08/2007) Israel Antiquities Authority inspectors foiled an attempt to smuggle an ancient statue head to an antiquities collector in the United States. The statue, which dates to the Byzantine period, is made of very fine quality limestone and was carved by an artist. According to the suspect his father received the statue from former Minister of Defense Moshe Dayan ז"ל.
2013 Al-Monitor Pillaging of Gaza Antiquities An Archaeological Tragedy The pillaging from the Gaza Strip of thousands of historical artifacts,
some dating back to the time of Alexander the Great, at the hands of
the Israeli occupation has stripped Gaza of its rich history, writes
Asmaa al-Ghoul.
Moshe Dayan
is the former Israeli defense minister who, using the strength of the
Israeli army, pillaged countless artifacts — dating from the Ottoman era
to the time before Christ — from Gaza, in an effort to erase
Palestinian history.
2015: Haaretz:
The Israeli Defense Minister Who Stole Antiquities In 1971 Israeli archaeologists petitioned Moshe Dayan to give up his
legally questionable hobby: Uncovering ancient artifacts and claiming
them as his own.
The Israeli Defense Minister Who Stole Antiquities
In
1971, Israeli archaeologists petitioned Moshe Dayan to give up his
legally questionable hobby: Uncovering ancient artifacts and claiming
them as his own.

In 2012, Dr. Asaf Matskin's book "Too Close to the Edge" was published,
telling the story of political corruption since the creation of Israel.
Amid the scandals detailed in the book was the story called "The
Antiquities of Moshe Dayan." Dayan was chief of staff of the Israel
Defense Forces and eventually became defense minister.
According to Matskin, some in Israeli society were rooted in the
mentality that "everything is allowed" — at least everything that your
name, reputation or position allowed you to get away with. That's how
Dayan, who was a sworn lover of archaeology, used his position and
authority to dig at any site of his choosing while illegally using
equipment and manpower belonging to the IDF.
Opposition to Dayan's digs
began years before the publishing of Matskin's book. On December 16,
1971, Haaretz reported that during an archaeology conference at Tel Aviv
University, 20 out of 60 archaeologists in attendance signed a petition
demanding that Dayan, then serving as defense minister, give up his
hobby and stop his archaeological digs.
According to the report, 19 of the signatories were junior
archaeologists who expressed worry in the face of Dayan's thievery of
antiquities. Their older, more experienced colleagues noted that Dayan
was digging at sights that members of the antiquities department had
labeled "uninteresting" and that his activities had saved some of those
locations from being lost or forgotten.
The director of the conference, Dr. Yigal
Yedin, refused to bring up Dayan's digs for official debate but agreed
to circulate the petition between those present. The signatories claimed
that Dayan managed the digs without a license or scientific oversight,
didn't report his discoveries, and prevented the scientific studies of
artifacts.
Additionally,
Dayan was accused of selling some of his findings and giving them added
value by affixing labels bearing his signature as well as the details
of the objects. The defense minister, felt the archaeologists, had used
artifacts that belonged to the country for his own personal gain.
In an editorial published by Haaretz approximately one year after the
Tel Aviv conference, one writer claimed that antiquities in Israel
"aren't tempo bottles and pocket flashlights from 2,000 or 3,000 years
ago ... of course, they must be displayed in the collections of
archaeological museums, but only a thousandth of the number of artifacts
that have been discovered to date or are yet to be discovered have made
it there."

article in Haaretz from December 28, 1971, entitled "Director of
Antiquities Department ignored complaints about the transfer of findings
from the Golan to Dayan."Credit: Haaretz archive
In the opinion of the author, the craze
over Israeli antiquities was born only because Dayan had shown an
interest in pottery and glass, which hadn't previously interested
anyone. Isn't it a better idea, the editorial asked, to change the law
and allow for the collection and sales of antiquities "as long as the
items have no special value."
Of course, added the writer, laws must be followed, but sometimes the law itself needs to be adjusted to reality.
Among
the responses to the article was a letter to the editor in which Tel
Aviv resident Moshe Kramer expressed his consternation: "The opinion
expressed in the editorial must be pushed back with two hands. Even to
those who are ignorant in legal matters, it's clear that Moshe Dayan
broke a number of laws."
"He deals in [antiquities] without a license ... apparently he also
deals with foreign currency without a license," alleged Kramer.
"Apparently he doesn't pay income tax as required by law ... the
tolerance here isn't acceptable, and the 'naughty sabra' in this
instance crossed over a long time ago into the realm of criminality."
