How The Cuban Peoples’ Fight Against Colonialism Prepared It For The Coronavirus

April 17, 2020 Danny Sjursen, Citizen Truth. Educate! Apartheid, Cuba, Racism, South Africa

Bill Cosby was always a rapist monster. That much, hindsight and evidence make clear. Still, moored in our “Me Too” moment, it’s easy to forget how profound and influential the man, and the network smash hit, The Cosby Show, once was. Much beloved—though he long had critics—“America’s Dad” had a global fanbase. Furthermore, with his sitcom’s socio-political undertones, Cosby then seemed something like a national conscience. The Cosby Show “conscience” had a distinct international component. Enter South Africa—an apartheid nation so repressive it had no television until 1976—where it was the era’s most popular sitcom. This was “ironic,” according to a local black high schooler: “that a show by somebody who was very explicitly an opponent of apartheid was shown in South Africa.”

Trump Blows Cover Off Israeli Colonial Apartheid And Fuels Struggle For One Democratic State

February 9, 2020 Margaret Flowers and Kevin Zeese, Clearing the FOG. Podcast Apartheid, Israel, Palestine, Trump

The Trump administration has been one of the most aggressive toward supporting the Israeli colonialist and apartheid state in Palestine in cooperation with the extreme right-wing government under Netanyahu. During his term, funding has been withdrawn from the United Nations relief agency for Palestinian refugees, the capital of Israel was moved to Jerusalem (the Palestinian Capital), Israel was declared a Jewish State and the US changed its position on the illegal settlements. This latest so-called 'Deal of the Century' is set to complete genocide against Palestinians. We speak with Awad Abdelfattah, a Palestinian in Haifa who is leading the campaign for One Democratic State about the current situation, the campaign and what people in the United States can do to support a secular, equal, democratic state in Palestine.

Trump’s Plan Legitimizes Apartheid. Our Task Is Equal Rights For All.

February 3, 2020 Jeff Halper, Mondoweiss.net Create! Apartheid, Israel, Nationalism, Trump Administration

The Trump “Deal of the Century” is nothing if not predictable. The product of a small group of Orthodox Jewish Americans willingly adopting the long-standing plans of the Israeli right, it merely reaffirms what Israeli policy has in fact done “on the ground” over the past 53 years. In fact, we in the Israeli Committee Against House Demolitions (ICAHD) made a map 15 years ago that corresponds closely to Trump’s map.

The ‘Deal Of The Century’ Is Apartheid

January 30, 2020 Sheena Anne Arackal, Mondoweiss.net Educate! Apartheid, Israel, Middle East, Palestine

With great fanfare, President Trump finally unveiled his long-anticipated Middle East peace proposal. The proposal was labeled ‘The Deal of the Century’ because it was supposed to offer an even-handed and just solution to one of the world’s most intractable conflicts. Instead it does something very different. The ‘Deal of the Century’ resurrects and restores grand apartheid, a racist political system that should have been left in the dustbins of history.

If Americans Knew Tells The Truth About The Israeli State

November 26, 2019 Margaret Flowers and Kevin Zeese, Clearing the FOG. Podcast Apartheid, Israel, Media, Palestine

As an independent journalist, Alison Weir went on her own to see what was happening during the Second Intifada (uprising) in Occupied Palestine. What she found was the complete opposite of what was being reported in the corporate media. Upon her return, she founded "If Americans Knew" and has been covering Occupied Palestine and the Israeli state in a fact-based way ever since. We speak with Weir about the extent of US support for the Israeli State, the most prominent misconceptions being pedaled in the United States and the reality Palestinians experience. She also describes how to reach people in the United States who are misinformed and what we can do to end the injustice.

Palestinian, Regional, And International Groups Submit Report On Israeli Apartheid To UN Committee On The Elimination Of Racial Discrimination

November 19, 2019 Staff, Alhaq.org Resist! Apartheid, Israel, Palestine, United Nations

In November 2019, eight Palestinian, regional, and international organisations, including Al-Haq, BADIL, the Palestinian Center for Human Rights (PCHR), Al Mezan Centre for Human Rights, Addameer, the Civic Coalition for Palestinian Rights in Jerusalem (CCPRJ), the Cairo Institute for Human Rights Studies (CIHRS), and Habitat International Coalition – Housing and Land Rights Network (HIC-HLRN), submitted a comprehensive 60-page report to the United Nations (UN) Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination (CERD) ahead of Israel’s upcoming review in December 2019.

Fighting Apartheid By Taking Ownership Of Land And Time

November 4, 2019 Jaisal Noor, The Real News Create! Apartheid, Land, New Economy, Ownership

For decades, low wage work and exploitive housing policies have reigned supreme in Baltimore. Today there are tremendous disparities in wealth and health outcomes and a lack of access to affordable housing, but a growing number of residents are fighting exploitation through collective ownership of food, labor, and land, showing that another world is possible. Worker owners and community leaders discussed these efforts at the 2019 East Coast Workplace Democracy Conference, which included tours of local worker run cooperatives, land trusts, and community gardens focused on community empowerment.

Israel: Ethnic Cleansing, Land Theft, Apartheid And Jim Crow

December 16, 2018 Kevin Zeese and Margaret Flowers, Popular Resistance Newsletter Apartheid, Israel, Jim Crow, Palestine, Racism

In recent weeks, racism against Palestinian people and the expansion of apartheid-Jim Crow policies have escalated. The Israel lobby and its supporters attacked freedom of speech in the United States, showing how far they will go to prevent the US public from being aware of their behavior. If more people in the US become aware of the truth about Israel's genocidal policies, the economic lifeline and political protection of the United States will disappear.

Ten Days In Palestine

November 18, 2018 Miko Peled, Mintpress News. Educate! Apartheid, Israel, Palestine, Wars and Militarism

Jerusalem, Palestine - In his speech at the party conference, U.K. Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn said “Let’s give real support to end the oppression of the Palestinian people,” a statement no other Western politician would dare to make. However, the latter part of Corbyn’s statement suggests that Britain must “move to a genuine two-state solution of the Israel-Palestine conflict.” While Corbyn’s record shows clearly that he cares about the plight of the Palestinian people and wishes to end their oppression, the two parts of this statement stand in contradiction to one another.

‘Resist Apartheid:’ Thousands Rally Against Israel’s Nationality Bill

August 13, 2018 Staff, Telesurtv.net Resist! Apartheid, Israel, Legislation, Nationalism, Protests

Thousands rallied in Tel Aviv, Israel's capital, to reject the controversial Nationality Bill, approved by the Israeli Parliament, the Knesset, in July. The march was led by Palestinian Israelis who make up around 20 percent of Israel's population. The protest included the left-wing political party Meretz, legislator of the Zionist Union Micky Rosenthal, rights organizations such as Peace Now and Physicians for Human Rights-Israel, and the members of the Joint List - a political alliance of four Arab-dominated parties in Israel. Chairman of the Joint List, Ayman Odeh, said: "Tens of thousands of Arabs and Jews are moving in large quantities on buses to Tel Aviv because today we insist on delivering a clear message - a democratic state must be for all citizens."

Liberals Go Mum On Israel’s Apartheid Law

July 31, 2018 The Black Alliance for Peace. Educate! Apartheid, Israel, Police abuse, US Empire

Did you notice? Liberals didn’t bother to condemn the new Israeli apartheid law. Nor did they say a word about that settler-colonial state’s recent attacks on Gaza. We must be clear racist settler-colonial assault happening anywhere affects oppressed folks everywhere. Israelis have been training police forces in every state of the United States on their brutal methods of suppression they have practiced on the long-suffering Palestinians. The increased militarization of U.S. society makes allowances for white violence on oppressed peoples on this stolen land. Florida’s “Stand Your Ground” law, already notorious for protecting George Zimmerman when he killed 17-year-old Trayvon Martin, is now shielding another white supremacist who has a history of harassment.

70th Anniversary Of Apartheid Israel: History Of Violent Invasion. Chronology Of Palestinian Genocide

May 16, 2018 By Gideon Polya, Globalresearch.ca Educate! Apartheid, Genocide, History, Israel, Palestine

In 1880 there were about 500,000 Arab Palestinians and about 25,000 Jews (half of the latter being immigrants) living in Palestine. Genocidally racist Zionists have been responsible for a Palestinian Genocide involving successive mass expulsions (800,000 in 1948 and 400,00 in 1967) , ethnic cleansing of 90% of the land of Palestine, and in the century since the British invasion of Palestine about 2.3 million Palestinian deaths from violence (0.1 million) or from violently-imposed deprivation (2.2 million). Presently there are now 8 million Palestinian refugees, and of 14 million Palestinians about 50% (7 million) are forbidden to even step foot in their own country on pain of death, only 1.8 million Palestinian Israelis...

Philadelphians To Philly Orchestra: Cancel Your Trip To Israel

April 5, 2018 Philly Don't Orchestrate Apartheid. Resist! Apartheid, Arts, Israel, Palestine

Over 100 musicians, artists, scholars, union members and activists, as well as 33 social justice organizations, have called on the Philadelphia Orchestra to cancel its planned June tour in Israel. In a March 21 letter, they explained that the orchestra’s trip is part of “the Israeli government’s Brand Israel propaganda strategy,” and called on the orchestra “not to lend your good name to covering up Israel’s oppression of Palestinians.” The Philadelphia Orchestra’s claim that their performance in Israel is “cultural diplomacy,” not “a political mission,” is undermined by their own admission that the trip is "in celebration of its [Israel’s] 70th anniversary”...

Tasaheel Burnat, A Palestinian Activist On Palestinian Land Day

March 31, 2018 Wasan Abu Baker, Popular Resistance. Resist! Apartheid, Human Rights, Land Rights, Palestine

The events of the 1976 Palestinian Land Day came after the confiscation of thousands of acres of Arab land within the boundaries of populated areas under the cover of a Galilee Development Project. The main goal was the Judaization of Galilee and the triangle areas particularly (the villages of Arrabeh, Deir Hanna, and Skhnin), as well as the Negev desert. This led the Palestinians to declare a comprehensive strike. Large Israeli army forces were ready inside the Palestinian villages attacking and injuring many Palestinians.
