DAMASCUS, SYRIA (5:28 P.M)- At approximately 3 A.M this morning, Israeli police forces invaded the West Bank village of Nabi Saleh, raiding the home of the well known Tamimi family, arresting (16 year old) Ahed Tamimi.
Israeli forces turned the Tamimi household upside down, stealing phones, laptops and other electronic devices, before violently arresting the 16 year old.
Days before, a video that went viral on Facebook was plunged into the Israeli media, making Newspaper front pages and being repeatedly played throughout several TV broadcasting stations (Within Israel).
Robert Inlakesh | AMNThe video included Ahed Tamimi slapping and kicking at two fully armed Israeli soldiers, who had just attempted to force themselves into her home.
The 16 year old girl was, of course, painted by the Israeli press as the violent antagonist, to the point that there came a large social media campaign advocating to have her arrested and charged.
The campaign against little 16 year old Ahed, was not limited to Israeli broadcasting stations and social media. Israeli defence minister ‘Avigdor Leiberman’ advocated for her punishment and families arrest, along with ‘Naftali Bennet’, Israeli Minister of Education, who demanded that ‘Ahed Tamimi’ face life imprisonment for her actions.
Later that morning, after Israel’s brutal arrest of 16 year old Ahed, her mother ‘Nariman Tamimi’ was also kidnapped, in front of ‘Benjamin Camp’ North of Ramallah.
The week prior to this, 14 year old ‘Mohammed Tamimi’ was shot in the head by Israeli gunmen, he still remains on life support, in critical condition.
When analysing Israel’s propaganda campaign, we could look in shock and awe, at the absence of facts included Israeli media and Zionist outlets reporting of this whole scenario. We could begin by picking apart the disingenuous reporting and lack of journalistic integrity, but of course, this would be addressing something that they are well aware of themselves.
Israeli media and Zionist advocates don’t leave out facts accidentally, they feed on the absence of them.
The Israeli state follow a strict racist doctrine, which in its essence, is completely biased.
We could sit down and pick through every piece of information they publish and attempt to debunk their points with facts, but this would be missing the point.
It is evident to anyone who understands the basic principles of international law, that Israeli occupation troops presences in the West Bank, gives the occupied the right to resist through any means necessary (violence included), their illegal occupiers.
What has to be understood with Israeli mentality, is that wether from the state level or community level, they are followers of a racist cult like mentality (Zionism).
The Israeli government doesn’t recognise the West Bank as Palestinian, it sees it as ‘Judea and Sumaria’, just a part of Israel where theres settlements near illegal Arab villages.
Israeli law is not in the slightest bit in complience with international law, nor is the Israeli government in compliance with the international consensus on the ‘conflict’.
From an Israeli point of view, all of the land is theirs, Arabs don’t belong there and are just a problem to be dealt with.
No matter what, they (Israelis) are the victims. Netanyahu could eat a baby on live National television and they would work to justify it.
The longer we pretend that Israel is a normal state, the more we attempt to rationalise the irrational.
Israel is currently violating more UN resolutions than all other nation states on the planet, combined. Israel is carrying out ethnic cleansing in Jerusalem, it is illegally annexing land in the West Bank, it illegally occupies the Golan heights, it is illegally occupying land in Southern Lebanon, it is illegally besieging Gaza and the list goes on.
Israel must be forced – through sanctions and if necessary force – to comply with the law, this is not controversial, this is completely reasonable and should not be a taboo topic to discuss.
Action has to be taken to punish Israel for its actions, or this will inevitably continue.
