They let settlers terrorize Palestinians freely. Security forces do the same thing. Multiple community incursions occur daily. Homes are forcibly entered. Ransacking and arrests follow. Innocent Palestinians are assaulted for praying to the wrong God.
Policy is firm. It's gone on for decades. Conditions now are worse than ever. Police state viciousness is official policy. Collective punishment is enforced.
Peaceful public demonstrations are assaulted. Free expression and movement are prohibited. Population centers are isolated. Borders are closed.
Normal daily life is denied. Economic strangulation and institutionalized racism are imposed. So are curfews, roadblocks, checkpoints, separation walls, electric fences, and other barriers.
Fundamental civil and human rights are denied. Crimes of war and against humanity repeat without redress. Wanting to live free in sovereign Palestine is called terrorism.
Punitive taxes are imposed. Few services are provided. Vital ones are lacking or inadequate. Palestinian lawmakers are imprisoned for belonging to the wrong party.
Fishermen are attacked at sea. So are farmers working their land. Gaza suffocates under siege. Liberation is a non-starter. Rogue states operate that way. Israel is one of the worst.
