Extremist Israeli cabinet members threatened to resign if settlers are removed. Netanyahu postponed demolitions. He appears poised to recognize them retroactively.
Israeli officials often circumvent High Court decisions. Netanyahu heads Israel's worst ever government. Racist, hardline rogues infest it. Democratic values don't matter. Laws are routinely violated.
Palestinian rights are systematically denied. State terror is policy. Adalah knows petitioning for what's right has little chance of succeeding. Nonetheless, it persists like other human rights groups. Palestinians deserve that much and more. So does everyone.
Progress comes slowly in baby steps. On May 23, Ahmed Moor's Mondoweiss article headlined "Why 'Brand Israel' is failing," saying:
"Israel is less popular among young Americans than ever before" for good reason. Doing the wrong thing long enough attracts attention. It's encouraging to see young people understand, including Americans.
They're assaulted by one-sided pro-Israeli scoundrel media. For them, the harshest Israeli policy is justified. Palestinians are vilified as terrorists for wanting to live free.
For young Americans, however, "the conversation about Zionism in America is dramatically different from what it was only a few years ago." Facts slowly displace fiction. Truths reach people wanting to know.
Learning them is eye-opening. Oslo "facilitate(d) the preservation of Jewish privilege." Occupation terrorizes Palestinians. Zionism reflects racism, violence, and rapaciousness. It's an instrument for harsh repression. It abhors love thy neighbor and do unto others.
