you knew would be felt by ordinary human beings unable to flee or defend
themselves. You saw the blackened bodies and the maimed images of children
and you knew it was wrong, despite all the justifications repeated like
mantras by Israeli spokespersons, and regrettably, our own Western leaders
and media. What you didn’t and don’t see are the daily humiliations,
discriminations and exploitations the Palestinians are forced to endure
under Israel’s apartheid rule in their own country. Far more insidious and
harmful than even the terrifyingly brutal military attacks, Israel’s
deliberate undermining of the Palestinian economy to the point of almost
wholesale dependence on aid and/or Israeli goods has damaged the very fabric
of Palestinian agrarian society. It has forced Palestinians, no longer
permitted to farm their own lands, to slave labour for Israel, while the
rest of the world, and of course Israel, benefit.
Watch this four-part video and weep at the terrible injustices being
suffered by the Palestinians. If you were reluctant to protest Israel’s
savage attacks because political spin gave the false picture of an equal
fight, the images of ordinary people desperately clinging to the shattered
remains of their farming lands and olive trees while Israel steals
everything they own, should make you think again. This video was made by
www.inminds.co.uk to educate Muslims, but it is educational for everyone.
In fact, you will discover just how normal Israel’s operations appear when in
fact their practices are no different to the worst of apartheid South
Africa. It took a long time to get the world to begin boycotts against the
apartheid regime then; it would be a tragedy if it took a long time again.
For the sake of humanity, let us begin to do what we can to make a
difference.
We ask that you avoid buying any products with bar codes beginning 7 29.
More information about what you can do to boycott will be available soon.
In the meantime, you can look at the website http://wwwbigcampaign.org to
familiarise yourself with some of the boycott, divestment and sanctions
campaigns that are being implemented around the world. - SK
