Israel's policies toward indigenous Palestinians are as racist as White South Africa's policies towards its indigenous population three decades ago.
Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions will work just as well in Palestine as they did in Africa:
"IsraelÂ’s illegal use of military violence
"– Israel uses military force to maintain an unlawful regime of occupation, colonialism and apartheid.
"This system is put in place in order to control as much land with as few indigenous Palestinians on it as possible, and to prevent the Palestinian people from exercising its inalienable right to self-determination.
"– Between 2000 and 2010 alone, Israeli armed forces injured tens of thousands and killed more than 7,000 Palestinians.
"– Israel has a documented track record of breaching international humanitarian and human rights law during its armed conflicts. This includes during its military operations, invasions and occupations of Palestinian and other Arab territory.
"IsraelÂ’s wars are acts of aggression, rather than 'self-defence', and are therefore in violation of international law.
"IsraelÂ’s military forces have officially adopted a doctrine of disproportionate force, otherwise known as the '
Dahiya Doctrine', which calls for severely hurting civilians and civilian infrastructure as the most 'effective' means of stopping or undermining irregular resistance forces.
"The UN and other bodies have repeatedly documented war crimes and crimes against humanity.
"– Israel’s ability to launch such devastating attacks with impunity largely stems from the vast international military cooperation and trade that it maintains with complicit governments across the world.
