PLO: “Israel is Implementing its Annexation Scheme on the Ground Without any Deterrence.”
By Ali Salam | IMEMC | August 3, 2020
European diplomats signed a letter denouncing Israel’s plans to begin construction on the E1 project in occupied East Jerusalem, the Palestinian WAFA News Agency reported.
Executive Member of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) pressured EU officials to act on its words, and force Israel to abandon its plans.
A European Union (EU) representative, with 15 ambassadors, recently submitted a letter in opposition to the Israeli Foreign Ministry, regarding its intention to start building in E1 area, east of occupied Jerusalem.
“We welcome the protest letter… however, we believe that the EU, as well as the governments of these 15 states (including Germany, France, Italy, and Spain) should… deter Israel from persisting on the path of illegality, impunity, and de facto annexation.” Dr. Hanan Ashrawi said.
“While the international community is concerned with the ‘possibility’ of annexation, Israel is implementing its scheme on the ground without any deterrence,” she continued, “This includes the siege and ethnic cleansing of Silwan, Al-‘Isawiya, and Wadi Al-Joz (Palestinian neighborhoods in East Jerusalem) by way of home demolitions and systemic violence.”
Dr. Ashrawi pressed that states “must not allow Israel to persist in this cynical ruse. The principle of accountability is undermined and rendered irrelevant when international actors insist on giving Israel a free pass on egregious violations of Palestinian rights and international law.”

Ethnic cleansing is the name of the Zios’ game all right. They can’t bear the sight of goyim for some reason. Much to their chagrin, the greater part of the population of Palestine now consists of goyim, and there are more of them with every passing day.

Frustration all ’round. The malign influencers/enforcers — I need not elaborate — are hyena-like and omnipresent…and winning the on-the-ground day.
The Palestinians, of course and as usual, are always stomped on and biting the dust at the bottom of the dung-heap.
(Dr. Hanan Ashrawi always mouths such brave, pithy words…sh*t: why can’t she muster the courage and patriotism to publicly and loudly resign her position in the PLO; become a working/passionate member of Hamas; burnish that Palestinian people’s movement’s image, credibility, and visibility; and do some *real* good for the endlessly victimized children, women and men of her country?)

Well, at least part of the World is standing up against Israel, but it’s not the USA Government, which is totally owned and controlled by Israel. Is there NO ONE in Washington who will STAND UP for AMERICA??
