الفصل العنصري في إسرائيل خوفا من رقم 1

(قمت بترجمة هذه المقالة على Google. كما هو محدود لغتي العربية لقراءةالكلام والقليل جدا، لا أستطيع أن يشهدوا على دقة              الترجمة، وأنا لا تقدم سوىأنها على سكن لقرائي.)
                الفصل العنصري الإسرائيلي لم يتوقف لتدهش لي. كل يوم هناك شيء جديد لأنه لا يظهر فقط كيف أنه التمييزية تجاه السكان الفلسطينيين. كما هي حال إسرائيل الفصل العنصري يحاول منافسة في اليوم السابق عن كيفية التمييز يمكن أن يكون. ومن المدهش حقا.

                
اليوم ، فتحت Haartez.com ، صفحة ويب واحدة من الصحف الرائدة في إسرائيل الفصل العنصري. في غضون ثوان ، وجدت مقالا عن الفصل العنصري المحكمة العليا في إسرائيل إنكار المواطنة للفلسطينيين الذين تزوجوا من عرب إسرائيل مواطنين. وكان هذا الإنكار الحصرية للفلسطينيين لكنها مددت في وقت لاحق ليشمل "ايران ولبنان وسوريا والعراق فضلا عن المجالات الأخرى التي كانت الحكومة حرة في أن تقرر" ، وفقا للمادة Haartez.com

                
ماذا يمكن أن يعني هذا؟

                
كل بلد ضوابط الهجرة. وتستند سياسة الهجرة في الولايات المتحدة على نظام الحصص السنوية لجمع شمل الأسرة. هناك فئات مختلفة الهجرة على أساس القرابة العائلية للطالب المهاجرين إلى الولايات المتحدة أو مواطن أجنبي مقيم. الزوجين من مواطني الولايات المتحدة الحصول على العلاج الأفضل فورا ، في حين الزوجين من سكان الولايات المتحدة الغريبة تضطر إلى الانتظار حتى يتم التوصل إلى تاريخ تطبيقها من خلال نظام الحصص. انه معقد ولكن عادلة. انها لا تنطوي على تمييز ضد أي شخص معين ، ما عدا الشيوعيين والنازيين وذوي deceases معينة.

                
وتستند في معظمها على ضرورة الهجرة الوجدانية لجمع شمل الأسرة.

                
في جنون العظمة والخمسين ، باستثناء الفصل العنصري وتدعي إسرائيل يتم الفلسطينيين المتزوجين من عرب اسرائيل لأسباب أمنية. في حين أستطيع أن أفهم مخاوفها الأمنية ، ويمكن أفضل الهستيريا الفصل العنصري داخل إسرائيل يمكن تفسيره في خوفها من الأرقام. إذا أجبرت على الزواج من عرب اسرائيل عرب اسرائيليين اخرين من السكان العرب في إسرائيل يبقى على حاله بسبب هذا الزواج. إذا ، من ناحية أخرى ، إذا تزوج عربي اسرائيلي فلسطيني من الضفة الغربية ، ثم منح الجنسية للفلسطينيين يزيد عدد العرب داخل اسرائيل عن طريق الفصل العنصري واحد زائد والأطفال من الزواج.لأنه يتم استبعاد الفلسطينيين من الهجرة إلى إسرائيل الفصل العنصري ، فإن عرب إسرائيل إما أن يعيشوا بعيدا عن زوجته / ها أو نقلها إلى حيث تعريفه / حياة زوجها. الانتقال الأكثر احتمالا هو الخيار الوحيد ، وبالتالي سياسة الفصل العنصري في إسرائيل تأثير إنقاص عدد العرب الاسرائيليين واحد زائد وعدد أطفالهم.منذ ولادتها عام 1948 والفصل العنصري اسرائيل تفعل كل ما في وسعها لخفض عدد الفلسطينيين في فلسطين 1948. في عام 1948 ، عصابة الإرجون بزعامة رئيس الوزراء الاسرائيلي في المستقبل الفصل العنصري مناحيم بيغن ، وذبحوا في بلدة دير ياسين تسبب الفلسطينيين في مدن أخرى على الفرار. لقد كان هذا سياسة التطهير الفلسطينية سياسة الفصل العنصري في إسرائيل منذ ذلك الحين.

                
على الرغم من تجنيد الفصل العنصري إسرائيل اليائسة والجماعية لليهود من روسيا واثيوبيا ودول اخرى في العقود الأربعة الماضية ، فإن عدد الفلسطينيين الذين يعيشون في اسرائيل والضفة الغربية وقطاع غزة تكون متساوية بحلول عام 2016. بعد ذلك الوقت ، فإن عدد السكان الفلسطينيين أن تكون أكبر من اليهود. هذا يخيف إسرائيل الفصل العنصري.

                
حتى عندما أصدرت المحكمة العليا الإسرائيلية ترفض الفصل العنصري لمراجعة قانون الجنسية الإسرائيلية إلى نفي فلسطيني متزوج من عرب اسرائيل هو ترسيخ نظام الفصل العنصري في إسرائيل. انها تقاتل لعبة الأرقام واحدة للزواج في وقت واحد. فمن يخاف من الرقم 1.(Zanayed © ، فادي يسمح نشر أو توزيع هذه المواد شريطة أن لا تغيير محتواها وأشار المصدر وصاحبه).

Apartheid Israel’s fear of the Number 1.


                Apartheid Israel never ceases to amaze me.  Every day there is something new that it does to show just how discriminatory it is towards the Palestinian population.  It is as if Apartheid Israel tries to compete with the previous day as to how discriminatory it can be.  It is truly amazing.

                Today, I opened the Haartez.com, the web page of one of Apartheid Israel’s leading newspaper.  Within seconds, I found an article about Apartheid Israel’s Supreme Court denying citizenship to Palestinians who have married Israeli Arabs citizens.  This denial was exclusive to Palestinians but was subsequently extended to include “Iran, Lebanon, Syria and Iraq as well as other areas on which the government was free to decide,” according to the Haartez.com article http://www.haaretz.com/news/national/israel-s-high-court-rejects-petitions-against-citizenship-law-1.406794

                What can this mean?

                Every country controls immigration.  The United States immigration policy is based on an annual quota system for family unifications.  There are different immigration categories based on the family relationship of the immigrant applicant to the US citizen or resident alien.  Spouses of US citizens get immediate preferable treatment; whereas spouses of US alien residents have to wait until their application date is reached through the quota system.  It is complicated but fair.  It does not discriminate against any particular persons, except communists and Nazis and people with certain deceases.

                Immigration is mostly based on the compassionate need of family reunification.

                In its paranoia, Apartheid Israel claims excluding Palestinians married to Israeli Arabs is done for security reasons.   While I can understand its security concerns, the hysteria within Apartheid Israel can best be explained in its fear of numbers.   If Israeli Arabs are forced to marry other Israeli Arabs the population of Israeli Arabs stays the same because of this marriage.  If,  on the other hand, if an Israeli Arab marries a Palestinian from the West Bank, then granting citizenship to the Palestinian increases the number of Israeli Arabs within Apartheid Israel by one plus the children of the marriage.

Because Palestinians are excluded from immigration to Apartheid Israel, the Israeli Arab will have to either live apart from his/her spouse or move to where his/her spouse lives.   Moving is most likely the only option and thus Apartheid Israel’s policy in effect decreases the number of Israeli Arabs by one plus the number of their children.

Since its birthe in 1948, Apartheid Israel does everything it can to reduce the number of Palestinians in 1948 Palestine.  In 1948, the Irgun Gang led by future Apartheid Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin, slaughtered the town of Deir Yassin causing Palestinians in other towns to flee.  This policy of Palestinian cleansing has been the policy of Apartheid Israel ever since. 

                Despite Apartheid Israel’s desperate and massive recruitment of Jews from Russia , Ethiopia and other countries in the last four decades, the number of Palestinians living in Israel, the West Bank and Gaza will be equal by 2016.  After that time, the population of Palestinians will be greater than Jews.  This scares Apartheid Israel. 

                So when the Apartheid Israeli Supreme Court refuses to review the law denying Israeli citizenship to a Palestinian married to an Israeli Arab it is perpetuating apartheid in Israel.   It is fighting the game of numbers one marriage at a time. It is afraid of the number 1.

Thank You for Your Comments Santorum


I do not know what all the uproar over Republican Presidential Candidate Senator Rick Santorum’s statement about Palestinians.  I believe that it is a win-win situation for Palestinians.

            Before Republican Presidential candidate Newt Gingrich made his historically incorrect statement that Palestinians are an “invented” people, Santorum makes the following argument:

1.   Since Israel acquired the West Bank through war, a war which he erroneously states          
       the Arabs were the aggressors, then the West Bank is Israeli land;
2. Therefore the people in the West Bank are Israeli; and
3.   There are no Palestinian people.

He then states that land acquired through war should not be given back.  He further states that the United States did not give back and will not give back Texas to Mexico as the US acquired Texas through war. What Santorum does not understand is that the law of conquest has long been abandoned in international law.  During World War II, under Santorum’s logic, the Allied forces could have occupied and made Germany and Japan conquered territory—but did not. The land was given back to the German and Japanese people.

            For the sake of argument, let us assume that Santorum’s logic is correct; that the people on the West Bank are all Israelis.  Would it not logically follow that Santorum will have to acknowledge that either Israel is an apartheid state or it should allow all its “citizens” the right to vote?

            Let me explain my logic.  If all the people on the West Bank are Israelis then Santorum has to explain why Israel cannot be called an Apartheid State as it is treating its “citizens” under two different legal systems. The Palestinians (Non-Jews) living in the West Bank who Santorum calls Israelis are ruled under a different set of laws as are the Israeli settlers who are occupying lands on the West Bank.  There are roads in the West Bank that only Jews can use.  Non-Jews cannot use them.  License plates in Israel identify the owner as a Jew or Non-Jew. Non-Jews cannot live in the illegal settlements on the West Bank, including East Jerusalem. Only Jews can “settle” the settlements.  Non-Jews are isolated into enclaves and are ruled by military laws.  Jews can carry guns and rifles and use them against Non-Jews.  Jews can uproot olive groves owned by Non-Jews without any retribution by the Israeli army.

            These different set of laws in the West Bank in which Israel governs its “citizens” as Santorum defines them, leads to the logical conclusion that Israel is an Apartheid State and should be known as the Apartheid State of Israel.

            Now, if Santorum is saying that the people of the West Bank are citizens of Israeli land, it is logical than as citizens, all the people should be given a right to vote in Israeli elections. If this is what Santorum is thinking, than he must advocate a one state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict?  But this is not the case, Palestinians (I cannot keep using Non-Jews) are not allowed to vote in Israeli elections. Does it not follow that when citizens are not allowed to participate in the laws which govern them that they have a right to overthrow that government? Let me remind Santorum about the following famous words from the United States Declaration of Independence:

When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government…
            It would follow from Santorum’s argument that as “citizens” of Israel, Palestinians have a right “to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government…”

            So the uproar over Santorum’s statement as stupid as it is, only benefits Palestinians.  The logical interpretation is that either Israel is an Apartheid State or the two state solution is dead.

I believe that both interpretations are right. Israel is an Apartheid State and the two state solution is dead.
