Dozens of Spanish cities declaring themselves ‘Free of Israeli Apartheid’

fanger, et al,

I am amazed that the Hostile Arab Palestinians (HoAP) make the allegation that "Israel" is "Apartheid," and that a unprecedented, well-funded and anti-democratic attack against everyone seeking to hold Israel accountable to:

• International Law,
• UN Resolutions,
• (especially through) BDS Advocacy.
​

I could easily take-up an entire internet page on just the morality of the HoAP attempt to use the Rome Statues (Crimes against Humanity) or the Fourth Geneva Convention to justify allegations and attempts to do harm against the Jewish State of Israel.

Cadiz, provincial capital in the autonomous community of Andalusia in the Spanish state, has become the latest municipality to pass a motion supporting the Palestinian-led Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement for Palestinian rights and declaring itself an Israeli “Apartheid Free Zone”.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
​

With a population of 120,000, Cadiz joins more than 50 cities and towns across the Spanish state which have voted to declare themselves spaces free from Israeli apartheid. Other famous Apartheid Free municipalities include Gran Canaria, Santiago de Compostela, Xixón-Gijón, Sevilla, Córdoba and Santa Eulària in Ibiza.

Growing public support for the BDS movement for Palestinian human rights has prompted Israel and its allies to launch an unprecedented, well-funded and anti-democratic attack against everyone seeking to hold Israel accountable to international law and UN resolutions, especially through BDS advocacy.

(a) Murder;
(b) Extermination;
(c) Enslavement;

DEPORTATIONS, TRANSFERS, EVACUATIONS
ARTICLE 49

Individual or mass forcible transfers, as well as deportations of protected persons from occupied territory to the territory of the Occupying Power or to that of any other country, occupied or not, are prohibited, regardless of their motive.
Nevertheless, the Occupying Power may undertake total or partial evacuation of a given area if the security of the population or imperative military reasons so demand. Such evacuations may not involve the displacement of protected persons outside the bounds of the occupied territory except when for material reasons it is impossible to avoid such displacement. Persons thus evacuated shall be transferred back to their homes as soon as hostilities in the area in question have ceased.
The Occupying Power undertaking such transfers or evacuations shall ensure, to the greatest practicable extent, that proper accommodation is provided to receive the protected persons, that the removals are effected in satisfactory conditions of hygiene, health, safety and nutrition, and that members of the same family are not separated.
The Protecting Power shall be informed of any transfers and evacuations as soon as they have taken place.
The Occupying Power shall not detain protected persons in an area particularly exposed to the dangers of war unless the security of the population or imperative military reasons so demand.
The Occupying Power shall not deport or transfer parts of its own civilian population into the territory it occupies.

Article 7 (1) (d) International Criminal Code: Crimes Against Humanity

Crime Against Humanity of deportation or forcible transfer of population Elements

1. The perpetrator deported or forcibly transferred, without grounds permitted under international law, one or more persons to another State or location, by expulsion or other coercive acts.
2. Such person or persons were lawfully present in the area from which they were so deported or transferred.
3. The perpetrator was aware of the factual circumstances that established the lawfulness of such presence.
4. The conduct was committed as part of a widespread or systematic attack directed against a civilian population.
5. The perpetrator knew that the conduct was part of or intended the conduct to be part of a widespread or systematic attack directed against a civilian population.

NOTES: The term “forcibly” is not restricted to physical force, but may include threat of force or coercion, such as that caused by fear of violence, duress, detention, psychological oppression or abuse of power against such person or persons or another person, or by taking advantage of a coercive environment.

“Deported or forcibly transferred” is interchangeable with “forcibly displaced.” Unlike deportation and forcible transfers, evacuation is a provisional measure entirely negative in character, and is, moreover, often (but not exclusively) taken in the interests of the protected persons themselves.
​

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
​

This is a non-starter. There is no law (international or otherwise) wherein a population that has plegde itself to Jihad, and the armed struggle against a specific sovereinty must admit those threat into that country. In short, many countries have laws on the book that cover barment to entry deportation and removal of those undesirables in violation of immigration laws, serious criminal laws, terrorism, armed aggression, etc. ICRC Quote: "The 1958 Conference had particularly in mind the case of protected persons belonging to ethnic or political minorities who might have suffered discrimination or persecution on that account and might therefore wish to leave the country. In order to make due allowances for that legitimate desire the Conference decided to authorize voluntary transfers by implication, and only to prohibit "forcible" transfers."

And even when there were cases of "forceable" displacements, the HoAP were not moved beyond the limits of the territory formerly under the Mandate.

• UN Resolutions

Yes there are all kinds of lists that the anti-semitic, anti-Israeli, pro-HoAP have made in the last 70 years. But relative to "apartheid" there is no real evidence to submit supporting that allegation. The example (used to form conspiracy theories) is where the Knesset passed legislation that forbade spouses of Arab-Israeli citizens who are in the occupied territories from joining their families in Israel (with some exceptions). These are handled on a case by case basis. The apprehension here is that Israel might be forced to allow individuals with terrorist connections into the country. But as to the connection with the International Statute, there is no connection.

ISRAELI APARTHEID SYSTEM IS ILLEGAL: Laws Violated: International Convention on the Suppression and Punishment of the Crime of Apartheid (1976). Link to our fact sheets on Israeli Apartheid. Israeli Actions:

The State of Israel has a formal system of legalized discrimination against Palestinian Arabs which technically fits the official UN definition of Apartheid. ILRC article. Israel’s society-wide system of discrimination and isolation of the Palestinian people within Israel, and its system of exploitation, oppression and isolation in the occupied territories, fits exactly the official, legal UN definition of apartheid, which is considered to be a crime against humanity. The practice of passing laws which give special favor throughout Israeli society to the Jewish people over all other people, and especially the native Palestinian Arab people, embodies the UN definition of apartheid, which is giving special favor to one group of people above all other groups based on criteria like what religion they are.

Another example is in 2003, the Israeli legislature (Knesset) passed legislation that forbade spouses of Arab-Israeli citizens who are in the occupied territories from joining their families in Israel (with some exceptions). The reason for this legislation is to help maintain the Jewish demographic majority family unification. The racist nature is evident in that only Palestinians (no other ethnic groups) are not forbidden to live in Israel after marrying an Israeli. ILRC article. General article. Amnesty International argues that this law violates fundamental principles of equity, human dignity and personal freedom enshrined in basic law as well as the rights of the child to live with both parents and other fundamental rights enshrined in human rights treaties in which Israel is a signer.

You know something, so would I and millions of others. This is why I repeatedly ask for details of these alleged offences, safe to say that not one member of team palestine has produced a valid example

 

[Phoenall]

P F Tinmore, et al,

To be honest, I cannot say you are wrong. It is just that I never see the pro-Arab Palestinians post anything but these in same old improper or inapplicable citations.

OK, but much of the Geneva convention refined and/or reiterated already existing law. You can't just say that none of the tenets of GC existed before 1950.

(COMMENT)

I've mention the improper interpretation and the flaw in trying to retro-actively apply laws.

Most Respectfully,
R

Like I say, some of these laws already existed in places like the Hague convention of 1907. This covered things like the confiscation or destruction of private and public property.

But only applied to those nations that signed up to them as dictated in the first sentence of said convention. Why do you always manipulate any links you provide so they say what you want ?

Spain...Where have I heard that name before.
Let's see, it got it's collective ass kicked by the British & French Empire.
It's an ass backward country with dirty streets.

You are the ass backward one. Spain is beautiful and their culture is great.

Not from what I hear from the college students in my town.

Do not believe everything that you hear. Spanish students here in Ireland give you a false impression of what the Spanish are like.

Other famous Apartheid Free municipalities include Gran Canaria, Santiago de Compostela, Xixón-Gijón, Sevilla, Córdoba and Santa Eulària in Ibiza.

Inspired in part by a similar campaign during the struggle against apartheid in South Africa in the 1980s, the Israeli Apartheid Free Zone campaign, led by theSolidarity Network Against the Occupation of Palestine (RESCOP), seeks to create ‘islands of political consciousness’ and to break local ties with Israel’s regime of occupation, settler-colonialism and apartheid, as well as with international corporations and institutions that are complicit in the maintenance of Israel’s violations of international law.

The campaign, which is supported by social movements, businesses, schools, media and public institutions from across the Spanish state, has created a map indicating spaces free from Israeli apartheid.

By declaring themselves Israeli Apartheid Free Zones, local authorities agree to boycott corporations complicit in violations of international law and the rights of Palestinians as well as break ties with the Israeli regime and its complicit institutions. They will also support local awareness raising efforts and commit to conscientious procurement policies based on the human rights of the Palestinian people.
Attacks on a movement for freedom, justice and equality
Growing public support for the BDS movement for Palestinian human rights has prompted Israel and its allies to launch an unprecedented, well-funded and anti-democratic attack against everyone seeking to hold Israel accountable to international law and UN resolutions, especially through BDS advocacy.

The Israeli-sponsored attacks on the BDS movement aim to put pressure on governments, legislators and officials to curtail BDS civic actions and adopt repressive measures that infringe upon their respective citizens’ civil and political liberties at large.

In the Spanish state, attempts to silence the BDS movement, particularly on an institutional level, have been led by ACOM, a pro-Israeli Madrid-based lobby group.

ACOM has launched a number of legal appeals against local councils that have declared themselves Israeli Apartheid Free Zones.

However, ACOM’s strategy of intimidation has not been successful. Targeted cities have defended the democratic outcome of the votes, and informed courts, such as the First Administrative Court of Gijon, refused to accept ACOM’s complaints.

WRONG as he put across what others saw as apartheid, until they also saw it was common law in their own nations. The US has the same laws to stop the migration of criminals, does this mean you are a supporter of apartheid ?


Read his piece again and see that he states " there is no law that forces any nation to allow terrorists into their nation" is doing so apartheid. If it is then Saudi is apartheid by banning non muslims from entering mecca.

Cadiz, provincial capital in the autonomous community of Andalusia in the Spanish state, has become the latest municipality to pass a motion supporting the Palestinian-led Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement for Palestinian rights and declaring itself an Israeli “Apartheid Free Zone”.

With a population of 120,000, Cadiz joins more than 50 cities and towns across the Spanish state which have voted to declare themselves spaces free from Israeli apartheid. Other famous Apartheid Free municipalities include Gran Canaria, Santiago de Compostela, Xixón-Gijón, Sevilla, Córdoba and Santa Eulària in Ibiza.

Inspired in part by a similar campaign during the struggle against apartheid in South Africa in the 1980s, the Israeli Apartheid Free Zone campaign, led by theSolidarity Network Against the Occupation of Palestine (RESCOP), seeks to create ‘islands of political consciousness’ and to break local ties with Israel’s regime of occupation, settler-colonialism and apartheid, as well as with international corporations and institutions that are complicit in the maintenance of Israel’s violations of international law.

The campaign, which is supported by social movements, businesses, schools, media and public institutions from across the Spanish state, has created a map indicating spaces free from Israeli apartheid.

By declaring themselves Israeli Apartheid Free Zones, local authorities agree to boycott corporations complicit in violations of international law and the rights of Palestinians as well as break ties with the Israeli regime and its complicit institutions. They will also support local awareness raising efforts and commit to conscientious procurement policies based on the human rights of the Palestinian people.
Attacks on a movement for freedom, justice and equality
Growing public support for the BDS movement for Palestinian human rights has prompted Israel and its allies to launch an unprecedented, well-funded and anti-democratic attack against everyone seeking to hold Israel accountable to international law and UN resolutions, especially through BDS advocacy.

The Israeli-sponsored attacks on the BDS movement aim to put pressure on governments, legislators and officials to curtail BDS civic actions and adopt repressive measures that infringe upon their respective citizens’ civil and political liberties at large.

In the Spanish state, attempts to silence the BDS movement, particularly on an institutional level, have been led by ACOM, a pro-Israeli Madrid-based lobby group.

ACOM has launched a number of legal appeals against local councils that have declared themselves Israeli Apartheid Free Zones.

However, ACOM’s strategy of intimidation has not been successful. Targeted cities have defended the democratic outcome of the votes, and informed courts, such as the First Administrative Court of Gijon, refused to accept ACOM’s complaints.

The international community considers the establishment of Israeli settlements in the Israeli-occupied territories illegal under international law.[1][2][3][4][5] Israel maintains that they are consistent with international law[6] because it does not agree that the Fourth Geneva Convention applies to the territories occupied in the 1967 Six-Day War.[7] The United Nations Security Council, the United Nations General Assembly, the International Committee of the Red Cross, the International Court of Justice and the High Contracting Parties to the Convention have all affirmed that the Fourth Geneva Convention does apply.[8][9]

Numerous UN resolutions have stated that the building and existence of Israeli settlements in the West Bank, East Jerusalem and the Golan Heights are a violation of international law, including UN Security Council resolutions in 1979 and 1980.[10][11][12] UN Security Council Resolution 446 refers to the Fourth Geneva Convention as the applicable international legal instrument, and calls upon Israel to desist from transferring its own population into the territories or changing their demographic makeup. The reconvened Conference of the High Contracting Parties to the Geneva Conventions has declared the settlements illegal[13] as has the primary judicial organ of the UN, theInternational Court of Justice[14] and the International Committee of the Red Cross

[Hollie]

The position of successive Israeli governments is that all authorized settlements are entirely legal and consistent with international law,[15] despite Israel's armistice agreements all being with High Contracting Parties.[16] In practice, Israel does not accept that the Fourth Geneva Convention applies de jure, but has stated that on humanitarian issues it will govern itself de facto by its provisions, without specifying which these are.[17][18] The majority of legal scholars hold the settlements to violate international law, while others have offered dissenting views supporting the Israeli position.[2]

And as you have been shown this is only applied to Israel making it a racist act and not lawful. The only people doing so are known and proven anti semites, islamonazi's, white supremacists and neo nazi's Why haven't the UN told the ICC/ICJ to take action against Israel, after all the US does not have a veto on what they decide.
You talk as if UN resolutions are international laws when in reality they are just recommendations of what certain nations would like to see. A pity that islamonazi nations veto them as they know they will be forced to comply as well.



Now what has this to do with the remit of this thread. Stop deflecting and derailing when you are losing the argument

 

[RoccoR]

P F Tinmore, et al,

Yes, this is one of those famous Lecture by Noura Erakat (Human Rights Attorney) and the shotgun approach that is all over the map; jumping from one perspective to another.

Speaking of Maps, the opening frame of the video depicts a Map that purports to be a sequence of Maps describing "Palestinian" land losses from 1946 to the present day" [(2016)(a span of 70 years)]. And this is an example of how Palestinian "Truth" differs from the "reality."

• Where the first Map Frame depicts the pre-1946 territory under Mandate, showing white speckles that indicate where the Jewish community settled in some density; but not including all settlements established under Mandate Immigration encouragement.
• The second Map Frame roughly depicts (Sep 1947) a UN Palestine Partition Plan Map - 1947 - Annex A of Resolution 181. (UN Map #82 used for the Majority proposal.) Arab State vs Jewish State Proposal.
• The third Map Frame roughly depicts the end-state of hostilities at the time of the Armistice Agreements; including an estimate of the territory lost as the Israelis pursued retreating Arab League Forces. This is the 22% Arab State 'vs' 78% Jewish State.
• The Fourth Frame in the sequence is a poor representation of the Israel, and the undefined territory associated with the Oslo Accord II Area "C" Jurisdiction. In this frame the territory under sole Arab Palestinian Jurisdiction is poorly represented.
​

In the micro view, this is the general way the entire presentation imparts information; some accurate mixed with inaccurate.

Except that none of the citations are applicable.

WOW, that fits Israel's violations to a T.
Thanks.

(COMMENT)

This "Erakat" who normally presents quite well, in this video itself looks and sounds like a poorly prepared or maybe a spontaneous presentation (off the cuff). (Everyone has a bad day, and that should be somewhat understandable.) But during the presentation, she warns the audience that American Involvement is about promoting "US Interests," as if that were something despicable or bad. Since the death of President Kennedy, the art and statecraft of the US complement of Foreign Service officers has steadily declined. And the succession of US Administrations has produced an incoherent assortment of Foreign Policies that have progressively become unpopular both on the domestic scene --- as well as --- in the international arena. Having said that, our foreign policy is suppose to always be formulated and executed in Americas Best Interests. We have just been so bad in the execution of that goal. While American Embassies are second to none, the Department of State, the Foreign Service Officers themselves, and our choices for the post of "Secretary of State" is absolutely terrible.

There are four functions of diplomacy. SOURCE:
The Functions of Diplomacy
CHRISTOPHER AMACKER, JUL 20 2011, 42954 VIEWS

The first function involves “representing a state’s interests and conducting negotiations or discussions designed to identify common interests as well as areas of disagreement between the parties, for the purpose of achieving the state’s goals and avoiding conflict."

The second function of diplomacy involves “the gathering of information and subsequent identification and evaluation of the receiving state’s foreign policy goals."

The third major function of diplomacy is expansion of political, economic, and cultural ties between two countries.

Finally, the fourth function of diplomacy is that “diplomacy is the facilitating or enforcing vehicle for the observation of international law."
​

"The purpose of foreign policy is to further a state’s interests, which are derived from geography, history, economics, and the distribution of international power. Safeguarding national independence, security, and integrity—territorial, political, economic, and moral—is viewed as a country’s primary obligation, followed by preserving a wide freedom of action for the state." SOURCE: Encyclopedia Britannica -- Diplomacy

There should not be a case that, in the end, the goals - objectives, and national security of the US are not advanced in some positive manner.

And in the end, the US has a foreign policy for which is so straight forward, that it need not be defended; and is not all that different than what the Allied Powers expressed in the 1920 San Remo Agreement or the intent to further "natural aspirations" as envisioned and understood in the Faisal-Weizmann Agreement (1919).

Key Thoughts:

Mandate for Palestine 12 August 1922 --- "Whereas recognition has thereby been given to the historical connection of the Jewish people with Palestine and to the grounds for reconstituting their national home in that country;"

San Remo Resolution - Published April 25, 1920 --- "The Mandatory will be responsible for putting into effect the declaration originally made on November 8, 1917, by the British Government, and adopted by the other Allied Powers, in favour of the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people,"

Agreement Between Emir Feisal and Dr. Weizmann 3 January, 1919 --- "mindful of the racial kinship and ancient bonds existing between the Arabs and the Jewish people, and realizing that the surest means of working out the consummation of their natural aspirations is through the closest possible collaboration in the development of the Arab State and Palestine,"

[Shusha]

The international community considers the establishment of Israeli settlements in the Israeli-occupied territories illegal under international law....

The international community interprets and applies international law consistently in more than half a dozen cases -- clearly demonstrating that settlements are NOT illegal and that Article 49(6) of the IVGC does NOT apply to settlements.

Therefore,the international community is in error when attempting to declare Israeli settlements illegal.

GIVEN, not my fault it is not what you wanted to see. The Jews run the banking system for the benefit of all, and could very easily close down Spain if they so chose. They could cause a run of Spanish stocks and shares after first selling all their holdings slowly through middle men.Then collapse the Spanish stock market by letting slip that a lot of shares have been sold while the price was high. It does not take that much greed to cause this just look at Ireland, Greece and Portugal. Have you heard the joke about Greece and Ireland.

The Irish ambassador was hosting the Greek ambassador and pointed to a palace on a hilltop, see that paid for by the EU as part of the costs for the bridge we passed that allows Murphy to cross the river with his cows twice a year. The Greek ambassador goes home and thinks about his new home in the mountains, so the next time the Irish ambassador visits he saws how do you like my new bridge over the ravine. The Irish ambasador says I can only see that mountain retreat to which the Greek ambassador says EXACTLY
