While it is intensely engaged in expanding the illegal settlements, the government Israel is also trying to face two problems: a global campaign to what he perceives as "delegittimizzazione" - that objections to his crimes and refused to take part - and a parallel campaign of legitimization of Palestine. The "delegittimizzazione", which is progressing rapidly, was carried out in December with the campaign, launched by Human Rights Watch, the United States to "suspend funding to Israel for an amount equivalent to How much does Israel spends to maintain the settlements, and to monitor contributions to Israel by U.S. tax-exempt organizations that violate international law, "including the prohibition of all forms of discrimination" - which would cast a very large network. Amnesty International had already proposed to impose an arms embargo on Israel. The process of legitimation has taken a major step forward in December, when Argentina, Bolivia and Brazil have recognized the State of Palestine (West Bank and Gaza), leading to more than 100 the number of nations that support [this project ]. The international lawyer John Whitbeck
estimated that 80-90 percent of the world's population lives in countries that recognize Palestine, while 10-20 per cent recognizes the Republic of Kosovo. The U.S. recognized Kosovo but not Palestine. Consequently, as Whitbeck writes on Counterpunch, media "indipendeenza treat Kosovo as a fait accompli, while the independence of Palestine remains only an aspiration that can never be achieved without the consent of the American-Israeli, reflecting the usual operations of power in the international arena.
Given the extension of settlements in the West Bank, already more than a decade, says the international consensus on the two-state solution is dead, or erronoeo (although, of course, la maggior parte del mondo non sia d'accordo). Quindi coloro che hanno a cuore i diritti dei palestinesi dovrebbero auspicare l'occupazione israeliana dell'intera Cisgiordania, seguita da una lotta anti-apartheid come si vide in Sudafrica, che dovrebbe portare a dare la piena cittadinanza alla popolazione araba che vive lì.
Questo argomento dà per scontato che Israele sia d'accordo a quest'annessione. È invece molto più probabile che Israele continuerà il programma che mira all'annessione di quelle parti della Cisgiordania che sta sviluppando, approssimativamente metà del territorio, senza assumersi alcuna responsabilità per il resto, difendendosi così dal “problema demografico” - troppi non-ebrei in uno Jewish state - and taking in the meantime the besieged Gaza separated from the rest of Palestine.
analogy between Israel and South Africa deserves attention. Once that was implemented apartheid, South African nationalists admitted that they have become outcasts from the international point of view, as a result. In 1958, however, the foreign minister informed the U.S. ambassador to the UN and other protests convictions criticism is not a concern as long as South Africa continued to be supported global hegemon - the United States. Towards the seventies, the UN imposed an arms embargo, soon followed by a campaign of boycotts and divestment. South Africa reacted in a manner calculated to to be ashamed of international opinion. In an act of contempt towards the United Nations and President Jimmy Carter - who did not respond to not derail negotiations useless - South Africa launched a bloody campaign against the refugee camps in Cassinga, Angola, just as the "contact group" led by Carter was to present an agreement to Namibia. The similarities with Israel's behavior today is significant - for example the attack on Gaza in January 2009 and that the fleet in May 2010.
When President Reagan began his term in 1981, fully supported the domestic crimes of South Africa and its murderous brigandage in with neighbors. This practice was justified view of the war on terror that Reagan had declared at the beginning of his presidency. In 1988, the African National Congress of Nelson Mandela was designated as "one of the most notorious terrorist groups in the world" (the same Mandela was removed from the list of "terrorists" in Washington only in 2008). South Africa continued to challenge - and triumph - with its internal enemies crushed, and the steady support of the only country that counts for something in the system.
Shortly thereafter, U.S. policy changed direction. The economic interests of the United States and South Africa probably began to realize that the defendant would get rid of this burden of apartheid. E shortly after apartheid collapsed. South Africa is not the only case in which the termination of American crimes has led to significant progress. Such a change can happen even in the case of Israel, paving the way for a diplomatic solution? Among the obstacles, firmly planted in that direction, there are close military and diplomatic ties between the U.S. and Israel.
The most impassioned support for the crimes of Israel comes from the world of business. American hi-tech industry is closely integrated with its Israeli counterpart. To cite just one example, the world's largest microchip maker, Intel, is establishing its most advanced manufacturing units in Israel.
A U.S. diplomatic telegram published by Wikileaks reveal that the military industry Rafael in Haifa is one of those sites considered vital to American interests because of its production of cluster bombs, Rafael had already transferred some of its U.S. operations to obtain a better access to subsidies and the U.S. market. Then there is also a powerful Israel lobby, although of course dwarfed by comparison to those financial and military.
also critical cultural factors also matter. Christian Zionism long preceded the Jewish, nor is it limited to that one-third of the American population that takes the Bible literally. When the British General Edmund Allenby conquered Jerusalem In 1917, the international press portrayed him as Richard the Lionheart, who finally saved the Holy Land from the infidels.
Next, [they said] the Jews had to return to the lands that were promised them by the Lord. Articulating a common, Harold Icke, Secretary of Foreign Affairs of Franklin Roosevelt, described the Jewish colonization of Palestine as a goal "without compromise in the history of mankind."
Then there is also an instinctive sympathy for that kind of colonial society which is seen as the history of the United States itself, the history that brought civilization to the lands that these undeserving natives were not able to optimize - a conception deeply rooted in centuries of imperialism.
To break this stalemate will be necessary to dismantle the illusion that the U.S. is an "honest player in this game," trying desperately to reconcile recalcitrant opponents, and to recognize that the negotiations would be those set by the US-Israel side and the rest of the world on the other.
If the centers of power in the United States could be forced by public opinion to abandon this policy of denial that lasted decades, many prospects seem remote now become suddenly possible.
