Israel wants foreigners to report falling in love with Palestinians
Samizdat | September 4, 2022
According to new guidelines coming into force on Monday, foreigners will be required to inform the Israeli Defense Ministry if their romantic relationship with a resident of the West Bank gets serious – including plans to live together, get engaged or marry – to receive or extend an entry permit. The restrictions do not apply to those visiting Israeli settlements.
The new set of rules was originally drafted by the Defense Ministry’s agency for Palestinian civil affairs, COGAT, back in February, but its implementation faced several delays due to legal challenges. The lengthy 97-page document stipulates the procedure for entry and residence of foreign nationals in the Israeli-controlled Palestinian territories.
Foreign citizens, even those of Palestinian descent living abroad and officially married to a West Bank resident, will no longer be able to obtain a visa on arrival in Israel, and will have to file an application for an entry permit at least 45 days in advance, the Times of Israel reports. Additional requirements are also introduced for those who fall in love and “form a couple” after the arrival.
“If the relationship starts after the foreigner arrived at the Area, then the authorized COGAT official must be informed in writing… within 30 days of the relationship’s start,” the rules state. The “starting date” of the relationship is defined as the day of the engagement ceremony, wedding, or the start of cohabitation – “whichever occurs first.”
The couple must also “formalize” their status with the Palestinian Authority, and a failure to do so within 90 days will result in “immediate” expulsion. But even if the relationship status is formalized, the Israeli permit cannot be extended for more than 27 months, after which a foreigner will have to leave the country for at least 6 months.
COGAT officials said this “two-year pilot” program, which does not apply to those visiting Israeli settlements in the West Bank, is intended to make the entry process “more efficient and more suited to the dynamic conditions of the times,” according to AFP.

The lies about the 1967 war are still more powerful than the truth
By Alan Hart | June 4, 2012
In retrospect it can be seen that the 1967 war, the Six Days War, was the turning point in the relationship between the Zionist state of Israel and the Jews of the world (the majority of Jews who prefer to live not in Israel but as citizens of many other nations). Until the 1967 war, and with the exception of a minority of who were politically active, most non-Israeli Jews did not have – how can I put it? – a great empathy with Zionism’s child. Israel was there and, in the sub-consciousness, a refuge of last resort; but the Jewish nationalism it represented had not generated the overtly enthusiastic support of the Jews of the world. The Jews of Israel were in their chosen place and the Jews of the world were in their chosen places. There was not, so to speak, a great feeling of togetherness. At a point David Ben-Gurion, Israel’s founding father and first prime minister, was so disillusioned by the indifference of world Jewry that he went public with his criticism – not enough Jews were coming to live in Israel.
So how and why did the 1967 war transform the relationship between the Jews of the world and Israel? … continue

Ex-President, Jimmy Carter was right, some years ago, when he pointed out that Israel had become an Apartheid State, with two classes of citizens. Their treatment of the Palestinians (and even Americans who stand up for Palestinians) is, and has been deplorable.(Rachel Corrie?).
And not a word of protest from America’s political “elite”??
Israel COMPLETELY controls the USA…..It is SO Obvious.

The Great Depression was done by the tribe banking elite and they estimate about 7 million Americans died as a result of these criminals and just like Jacob Schiff who funded the takeover of Russia with the mass murder that followed.
Not sure how many folks in America have read about the American Holodomor that happened when the Jewish Banking Criminals pulled the plug on their fake usury scam which caused the Great Depression, but here it is.

Embargoing love is one of the most outrageously extreme diktats from the Apartheid-obsessed squatter colony, intended to isolate its captive host population, which, apart from its affront to morality, is a Crime coterminous with Genocide (Schedule 8, Art.7 (j) of the International Criminal Court Statute (1998)). Another case for the ICC to investigate and hopefully issue indictments for.

Refusal to recognise international law by criminal regimes like those of Israel and the USA confirms their guilt and intention to commit offences, making them fugitives from justice with the disreputable status of rogue states. Their political and military leaders will be brought before a series of International Tribunals. Most law-abiding states are obliged to arrest culprits when on their territory or mobile assets, regardless of whether they have signed the ICC Statute. There was no ICC when the German high Command were convicted at Nuremberg or when Milosevic & co. were convicted during the Yugoslavia Tribunal, even though most of the charges were unsafe, false or obtained under torture.
