Continuing Israeli Atrocities
Israeli aggression continues unabated in Palestine with regular killing and seizure and has annexed thousands of hectares of West Bank land beside the barrier it is building. The land has been taken with the justification that it is needed to protect Israeli settlements. That is Israel annexes lands of Palestinians, constructs settlements and again acquires lands form Palestine for boundary walls and the process has been on for decades.
Some settlements have seized up to two and a half times more land than they have been designated by fencing it off or through intimidation. Under international law the settlements in the West Bank are illegal. A rightist group B'tselem calculates that the annexation of the land has more than doubled the size of the settlements, with Palestinians, who still own the land, denied access. It says that the unofficial closing off of land to Palestinians, around these settlements, has been going on for 30 years.
This is disputed by Israel, which has settled about 450,000 people in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem . Israel argues that its West Bank barrier is a security measure intended to stop suicide bombers, though Palestinians see the barrier as a means to grab land. The International Court of Justice issued an advisory ruling in 2004 that the barrier breached international law where it is built on occupied territory and should be dismantled. B'tselem insists that the security argument is specious: they say that settlers often move into the designated security buffer zones. They also argue that it makes the agreed goal of a future Palestinian state all the more difficult to reach.
Illegal Expulsions
Israel has another policy in connivance with Washington approval bodies. It expels Palestinians form West Bank and deports them to Gaza and clear lands for further expansion of its "settlement empire" in Palestine . But what has been happening more recently is the Israeli military formalizing the expansion of these settlements through what are called "special security areas". The rightist group has calculated that this has more than doubled the overall area of the settlements.
Palestinians, despite privately owning half the land, now have no access to it.
The Israeli authorities argue that these measures are for security, to protect against Palestinian attacks, and that they need only be temporary. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said in a statement to the BBC that the security zones were needed to protect settlements. The IDF said the use of these zones had been approved a number of times by the Israeli Supreme Court and any building in them was illegal.
According to the "land clearance" strategy, the Israeli military has stepped up efforts to expel Palestinians with "illegal status" from the West Bank to Gaza. Two Israeli rights group. sHamoked and B'tselem have accused their government of tearing Palestinian families apart by curtailing the right to live in the West Bank. The groups say that over the past year, the military "has taken active measures to locate and expel Palestinians from the West Bank to the Gaza Strip under the pretext that they are 'illegal aliens'". B'tselem said several thousand Palestinians had been affected by the policy since November 2007.
Israeli foreign ministry spokesman Andy David said the failure of the Palestinian Hamas movement to recognize past peace accords with Israel was the "real reason" for restrictions on movement between the West Bank and Gaza . Israel has instituted a policy requiring Palestinians from Gaza who are living in the West Bank to apply for a temporary three-month permit to stay there. "This, even if they have lived in the West Bank for many years, established their homes there and, in some cases, even if they were born in the West Bank ," the report says.
It says Palestinians wishing to enter Gaza must undertake never to return to the West Bank, an effect of which has been to force relatives left behind to also move to Gaza "with no possibility of returning to the West Bank ". The report accuses Israel of "exploiting the hardship of families which are split between the West Bank and Gaza Strip".
Israel has very cunningly introduced permit system in Palestine land. The groups say marriage between Palestinians in Gaza and from the West Bank is no guarantee for obtaining a permit. "The new permit regime is an unprecedented, legally baseless move by which Israel is turning Palestinian residents of the Occupied Palestinian Territories into 'illegal aliens' in their own homes," the report says.
Jews invaded Palestine and annexed their lands and with the help of UN and UK-USA combine they established a state for themselves, Israel. From that, Israel went on expanding its territories by annexing more and more Palestinian territories. Apart from killing and crating blockades, Israel has also set up crossings under the control of the Israeli terror forces. Israel controls literally every thing in Palestine, its land, economy, taxes, security and even the lives of innocent Palestinians. They have introduced permit regime to control the Palestinians and torture them perpetually.
Every thing has been happening under the "able" US guidance and its terror scheming. It is rumoured that USA has been creating a new Middle East by enacting regime changes with "democracy and rule of law" as the main pillars of modern world. Thousands of Muslims have been murdered by US-led terror forces so far.
