Note: The article below is from an email by Mazin Qumsiyeh who lives in Palestine. Israel is not a democracy. Half the people living in Palestine (which includes the colonizer apartheid state of Israel) are not allowed to vote because they live in the so-called Occupied Territories. Palestinians living in so-called Israel also have difficulty voting. This mean half the population cannot vote which results in policies desgned against the Palestinian people as land theft and ethnic cleansing continue — as they have since the founding of the Jewish State.
In addition to directing the Palestine Museum of Natural History, Qumsiyeh is a book author. His two most recent books are:
- Popular Resistance in Palestine: A History of Hope and Empowerment (2011)
- Sharing the Land of Canaan: Human Rights and the Israeli-Palestinian Struggle (2004)
Qumsiyeh describes himself as “A bedouin in cyberspace, a villager at home. Professor, Founder, and (volunteer) Director Palestine Museum of Natural History, Palestine Institute of Biodiversity and Sustainability, Bethlehem University in Occupied Palestine. You can follow him at:

Fraudulent Democracy: Only a Fraction of Palestinians Can Vote, While Jews Are Given Automatic Citizenship
Millions of Palestinians were kicked out of their homes and lands and only a fraction of those who remain under colonial rule are allowed to vote in apartheid regime “elections” today (e.g. I am not).
Meanwhile all Jews and converts to Judaism who are given automatic citizenship “vote” to select between parties that compete only on which of them will be more racist and more damaging to the native Palestinians. The last remaining apartheid colonial regime.
Meanwhile in the USA, Israel continues to not only meddle in elections but directly shape them. Many Zionists are deep within the Democratic and Republican parties and ensure mainstream media trashes those Americans interested in a US foreign policy that helps the US not helps racist Zionist billionaires like Edelson and Bloomberg.
The Israeli ambassador at the UN Danny Dannon said that Bernie Sanders is an Ignorant fool and a liar. Imagine if the Russian ambassador said this about the leading candidate!
AIPAC is a hate and racist foreign lobby brags of its successes in shaping the US foreign policy and getting the US to antagonize nations ranging from Iraq and Libya to now Iran. It is not even registered under the law that requires registration for groups advocating for foreign countries.
It is not “dual loyalty” – these racists have one loyalty to Zionism. Many are already agents or helpers of the Israeli Mossad which steels US government and corporate secrets and spies even on high level US administration.
To fellow US citizens: vote tomorrow and change the system.
