Don't be another brick in Israel's wall - International week against the wall 2011(Melbourne)

On November 12, as part of the 9th annual international week against the apartheid wall, the Palestine Solidarity Campaign in Melbourne took to the streets to raise awareness about Israel's occupation and apartheid policies.

In November 2000 Israel approved the first project to build a so-alled "security barrier" -- a 8 metre high wall (twice the height of the Berlin Wall), with watch towers, electric fences, concrete walls, trenches, sensors and military patrols.

Israeli apartheid wall cuts deep into the Occupied West Bank, expanding Israel's theft of Palestinian land and resources. In total, 85% of the Wall is located in the West Bank. When completed, the Wall and its associated regime will de facto annex some 46% of the West Bank, isolating communities into Bantustans, ghettos and "military zones". This means that the Palestinian population in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, including almost 1.5 million refugees, will be encircled on only 12% of mandate Palestine.

Some 12% of Palestinians in the West Bank will be living in the closed military zone of the Jordan Valley or surrounded on three or four sides by the Wall or isolated between it and the green line. They face increasingly unbearable living conditions - the loss of land, markets, movement and livelihoods - and many will face expulsion.

More than 200,000 Palestinians living in Occupied East Jerusalem will be totally isolated from the rest of the West Bank by the apartheid wall, while 98% of the settler population will be included in the de facto annexed areas.

As of December 2010, 520 km of the planned 810 km, or 64%, had been completed. The Wall has destroyed a large amount of Palestinian farmland and usurped water supplies, including the biggest aquifer in the West Bank. With the completion of the Wall, at least 78 Palestinian villages and communities, which are home to almost 266, 500 Palestinian civilians will be isolated with a total population of 266,442 will be isolated and forced to live in ghettos.

Demand:
Israel dismantle its apartheid wall and illegal settlements

An end to Israel's illegal siege and blockade of Gaza

An end to Israel's military occupation and colonisation of all Arab lands

No Australian support for Israel -- end all military and economic ties
now!

Israeli's are arrogant you will never change the way they think, God gave them Israel this is the type of nut bags that live there they have no compassion for fellow man.What needs to be done is Boycott all American products and put pressure on America to stop all military Aid and support in the UN, the yanks give all the weapons to Israel for free and the American tax payer pays for it.With the American economy the way it is boycotting America will put pressure on Obama and the other Israeli lick arses with this type of pressure I think the American people will then demand the White house cut all ties with Israel to save America from collapse and if they don't let them go down .We need to put Israel out in the cold that means America has to stop supporting the Israeli war criminals.Then Israel has to be dismantled. Land should never be given to a religion to make a country a blind man can see Israelis belong in Poland and Russia that is their race not Arabic if this does not happen Israel will wipe out most of it's neighbours by the end of this century But they will get America and Australia to do the dirty work like we have done in Iraq and Afghanistan to make Israel safe from pay back of all the crimes they have committed in the region

Dave the ONLY reason the Arab Muslims want Israel is because Muslims invaded it centuries ago, and enslaved and massacred the Jews and Christians living there ALREADY.
Muslims want it for religious reasons because Muhammad said that no two religions should exist in the Middle East.

Apart from being wrong about everything in your post - at least you are thorough - all you've shown is you are a nasty ignorant bigot, completely illterate about Middle Eastern History, the particulars of Israeli/US Aid.

Wow!
The Jews have been kicked out of Russia, exterminated in Germany and Poland, been discrminated against in most countries around the world, and when they then naturally return to the place where their faith and identity originated, you say they they should be sent back to where they came from. And then to top it off you want to add to the worlds injustices by punishing them for being tenacious in their determination to exist in the land made available to them by the nations of the world.

So does Christianity have a right to naturally return to the place where their faith and identity originated or is that just a right the jews can have?The nations of the world did not make land available to them it was England with the belfour agreement to keep the Rothscild family on side because they controlled the money and still do today. Streetsweeper go tell your lies to people stupid enough to believe them.The day is close when Israel will pay for all the wrongs they have done and continue to do, Praise the Lord Jesus Christ (you know the one you killed)

Dave,
I assume this diatribe is intended to justify bigotry against Jews. I have no doubt that Jews and even Israel have acted badly on occasions, but the existence of Israel is not a tit for tat issue. There is a practical and natural justice perpective for Israel's existence and for most of that country's actions.

I’d like you to provide detailed references for your claims. Aside from the obvious diversion from the United Nations vote in 1947, the checks I’ve done suggest most of the claims are very wrong.

I’m sure there have been Christian terrorists from time to time, but I find it offensive that you suggest I am playing the victim and am a terrorist.

What about the bigotry Jews Have against everyone non Jewish?Israel acts badly every day of the week against Palestinians not on occasions as you put it.Israel is a Terrorist state and every one knows it the day will come when the world says enough is enough and not even America can save Israel.If I was israel I would pull your heads in before once again you are run out of a region because you can't behave like decent human beings.No one gives a shit what religion you are, it is your actions as a group that will get you killed open your eyes before it is too late!

I assume this diatribe is intended to justify bigotry against Jews.What cam't you critesize Israel without it being bigotry against Jews?Zionist own Israel not Jews
Here are some facts about U.S Military Aid to Israel and why the U.S needs to be Boycotted.
In his recent State of the Union address, President Obama pledged to "go through the budget line by line to eliminate programs that we can't afford and don't work." One week later, he sent his FY2011 budget request to Congress, which included a record-breaking $3 billion in military aid to Israel.
