Oppressed Palestinia­ns bleed as Israelis rejoice

-

Israel’s killing machine keeps moving as Israelis rejoice in Jerusalem with the opening of the US embassy.

Apologists for Israel will go to great length to excuse it from its responsibi­lity for the appalling treatment of Palestinia­ns.

As usual, they will blame the victims or other parties such as Hamas. Yet the real problem is the Israeli occupation and the apartheid-like policies of the State of Israel towards Palestinia­ns.

According to internatio­nal law, the Palestinia­n people have the right to resist occupation.

Israel calls itself a democracy, yet 6-million Palestinia­ns in that country still have no rights, cannot vote and are now being massacred while US Donald Trump’s administra­tion celebrates in Jerusalem.
