As Palestinians Remember the dead of Sabra & Shatila,
The UN Rewards Israeli
War
Criminal Ariel Sharon!
As
Palestinians and the world remembers the 23rd anniversary of the Sabra and Shatila massacres, committed
on 17th-19th of September 1982, the 60th UN
General Assembly will host Apartheid Israel’s Prime Minister and arch war
criminal. Ariel Sharon is invited in front of the international community’s
most prominent forum to represent a state which is grounded and continues to
flourish upon the destruction of the Palestinian people.
Sharon
began his murderous career in 1952 as a commander of the Zionist army during
the massacre in Qibya where 69 villagers were
slaughtered. He was the architect of the massacre in Sabra
and Shatila that cost the lives of 2000 people. He is
one of the masterminds of the Occupation’s settlement policies in the West
Bank and Gaza
and now implements the project of the Apartheid Wall prepared by his predecessors
against the rights of the Palestinian people and in defiance of international
law.
Sharon represents
a regime that is not only fighting the Palestinian right of existence on their
land but also violates international law and conventions on a daily basis.
Hundreds of UN resolutions have been disregarded by the Occupation while the
decision of the International Court of Justice (ICJ) to dismantle the Wall has
been brushed aside by the Occupation bulldozers that continue their to destruction of Palestinians lands and lives.
Instead of
condemning Sharon
as a war criminal,
Instead of
expelling Apartheid Israel
from the UN on the grounds of its non-compliance with international law, UN
resolutions and its founding charter,
The UN prepares
to applaud Israel’s
latest move towards the Bantustanization of Palestine – the Gaza
“disengagement” – refusing to acknowledge that Gaza
is and remains the world’s largest open air prison. It pressures the
Palestinian people to “negotiate” on the status of their ghettos and to
surrender to the facts on the ground imposed by the Occupation.
Popular mobilization in the West Bank and Gaza will remind UN that:
the Liberation of their land.
give up their right of return.
If the United Nations want to keep
up a facade of coherence with their own rules, it should not allow the presence
of the wretched war criminal and Prime Minister of Apartheid Israel in front of
the General Assembly but work towards ending Israel’s impunity and the
international support for the Occupation, colonization and ethnic cleansing of
Palestine.
