"For decades, generation after generation of #Palestinians have been deprived of their basic rights and liberties under the auspices of the Israeli occupation. For them, the idea of an Israeli rule of law is as absurd as any colonial attempt to legitimise tyranny through hollow legality.
...the #ICC warrants are too little and too late.
Palestinians were not surprised, but truthfully, neither were Israelis. We read and see the statements of the Israeli government, unfiltered and untranslated. We know senior ministers celebrated the killing of innocents while another announced their plan to empty more than half of the population in order to make space for Jewish settlements within the next few years. When I, a member of the Knesset, spoke out against these crimes in #parliament, I was punished harshly. I am currently serving a six-month suspension from all parliamentary activities for using the term “ #genocide”. The ethics committee has stated that it reached the decision based on my use of the term “genocide” and opposition to alleged war crimes perpetrated in #Gaza.
...#Democracy in #Israel never really existed, owing to the state of Israel’s definition as an ethnic concept, antithetical to political egalitarianism."
