    Seems not all zionist are land grabbing racists.

    Seems many Israelis see the occupation for what it really is. Wonder if these guys are jews or merely atheists or bolsheviks or part of the conspiracy.

    At least the levy report was "shelved" although I somehow doubt that Likud and the gang will not continue to pursue annexation.

    But perhaps Justice Levy did get one thing right. Maybe the term "occupation" is no longer relevant to the Israeli regime in the West Bank. I claim that the occupation has transformed into colonization a long time ago – including expulsion, settlement and the continuous nationalization of the territory and its resources – and all this while preserving the local Palestinian population's inferior status.

    Occupation is temporary and is military in nature. Israeli presence in south Lebanon was an example of occupation as it did not involve permanent civilian settlement or expulsion.


    True, the Levy Report is riddled with falsifications, including the claim that the Balfour Declaration grants the Jews sovereignty over all of Palestine - as though international law has not evolved since 1917. In the spirit of colonialism, the Levy Report ignores the collective rights of 90% of the West Bank's population – the Palestinians - as if they did not exist.
