…حسبنا الله ونعم الوكيل…

…sachez une chose : nous ne vous laisserons jamais tranquilles…pour nous… la question est le fascisme?!….L’injustice ?!…Effacer l'histoire ?! Plein de questions en fait... La Palestine n’est pas la question, la Palestine est la réponse… l’unique réponse…le seul qui vaille la peine d'être interrogé... "la paix ? !"... ils attaquent les êtres humains JEÛNANT dans les LIEUX DE CULTE comme nous ne traitions pas les animaux... pourquoi appellent-ils cela l'apartheid... c'est de la souillure ethnique... ils devraient obtenir ce qu'ils méritent... chercher la paix à L’ENFER…

…the issue isn’t that anybody cares for these zionists, everyone hates them, EVERYONE more and more, they’re more repugnant to others even, the problem is apathy towards injustice…

“There is no international supreme court, and no single body that has a monopoly on violence so as to enforce judicial decisions”

Forget petty, or otherwise, larceny, or theft, Erekat documents, by degree and in step, a bird’s eye, direct-examination; a direct report, of how zionists, rabidly ideological, used the law itself to steal a country. Paranoid colonial powers at their side, armed and war ravaged, invaders were set off against the then isolated and vulnerable rightful inhabitants of Palestine.

Breaking the law may be wrong, and bending it isn’t right either, but this is about subversively re-writing “the fiction of law” to sanctify illegal ends —disfigure an already scarred world. First, redefine what a border is, then add a margin to “defend” that border. Now push the border past its legal boundaries; expand outwards. “Growth” that’s anything but “natural.” War, that’s “almost” but not quite for laws to apply. Piecemeal expansion. "Flagrant violation of the United Nations charter." Because "the law is only as meaningful as the political will underpinning its enforcement." Why only change minds when you can change meaning?

Erekat leaves out the mass killings and graphic (GRAPHIC) details; the private sufferance, isolating and clubbing the already vulnerable…opting for a, pragmatic, in-fact, legal framework, almost clinical in its objective rationality. This is how slippery (sleezy) this occupier is. Even in treaties, zionists agree “except for issues that will be negotiated” later. They “used the interim state to steal the land and quadruple the number of colonial settlers…all of what we know … is [less] of our land.” Though this is a quote to her also, her own writing is legal, taught, clearly structured and concisely phrased, her argument, decisive. Her approach might have sounded dry to me (demanding reader) based on premise alone; perhaps theoretical, or because simplification can be reductive. Instead I found her wide-lens effect compelling, captivating and chilling; the drama subtle, restrained, to show just how resonant, consequential and serious the matter is.

Sizzle and stakes, her telling is seizing; frank; but unapologetic, and lucid about the political ponzi schemes zionists used and increasingly do, to reduce a country to property, rid it of its rightful owners, and by billhook or crook, excuse the inexcusable.

….never let an injustice become yesterday’s news….
