Please
Even
if you don’t read all of this report back from the olive picking, please
read and think about these points:-
 | Israel
clearly intends to annex the ‘occupied territories’ of Palestine
permanently. Why else would they bankrupt their economy to build
settlements and roads throughout the occupied territories?
In addition they take 25% of their essential water from
Palestine. Israel has
flouted more UN resolutions than any other state.
|
| The
Israelis are deliberately terrorising a population of 3 million people
to achieve their objective. Every
day they use heavy military equipment to kill innocent civilians; more
than three times as many Palestinians are killed than Israelis! They impose curfews that are random and can last weeks,
they tear-gas regularly and they have erected roadblocks that prevent
freedom of movement. In
every home we visited someone had been imprisoned without charge and
tortured (sometimes horrifically).
Israel is in contravention of many of the provisions of the
Geneva Convention.
|
| The
Israelis are destroying what is left of the Palestinian economy,
through destroying factories and businesses, destroying the
Palestinian administration’s premises, blocking transport and
communication with roadblocks and denying access to water and
electricity.
