Israeli Violations of Palestinian Human Rights
Continue, as the World Passively Waiting for the Annexation Announcement
June
19, 2020
Editor's Note:
While brutal force has been used to create Zionist Israel and sustain
it thus far, Zionist claims to Palestine are false. Actually, from the
five thousand years of known written history, there has been a
continuous Palestinian-Canaanite presence in the Holy Land. Despite the
Zionist false claims, the ancient Israelites ruled part of the land for
only 85 years (during the reign of David, Solomon, and Solomon's son).
After that, the Egyptians conquered Palestine-Canaan in 925 BC,
followed by Assyrians, Babylonians, Persians, Greeks, and Romans, before
the Arab Muslim rule, starting from 636 AD.
By the Time Jesus started his mission, the three population groups of
Canaanites, Palestinians, and Israelites were melted together in
religion and language. Most of them became Christians when Constantine
converted in 313 AD. Then, most of them became Muslims in the 7th and
8th centuries AD.
So, Palestinian Muslims, Christians, and Jews are the ones who have
the right to claim descent from ancient Israelites, Palestinians, and
Canaanites, not Zionists from other continents.
The following news stories are just examples
of the Israeli occupation government violations of Palestinian human
rights, on daily basis.

June 18, 2020 10:42 PM IMEMC
& Agencies
Israeli soldiers abducted, early on Thursday morning, several
Palestinian residents from a number of West Bank cities, towns and
villages.
In the West Bank city of Jericho, Israeli special forces invaded the
Aqbat Jaber refugee camp, south of the city and abducted a young man,
according to Palestinian security sources.
Security sources told Palestinian WAFA News Agency that the special
under cover force, driving a Palestinian vehicle, stormed the Aqbat
Jaber refugee camp, and broke into the home of Mohammad Abu Zaina,
before abducting him and taking him to an unknown destination.
An Israeli army force invaded the refugee camp, apparently to provide
cover for the special forces.
In the southern West Bank city of Bethlehem, Israeli troops broke
into the homes of two young men, after having invaded both the Aljabal
and Nahalin neighborhoods, both suburbs of Bethlehem city.
Local sources in Bethlehem said that both Hatem Alrafaty of Aljabal
area and Ibrahim Shakarna of Nahalin, a university student, were
abducted by Israeli forces and taken to unknown destinations.
Meanwhile, Israeli forces in the southern West Bank city of Hebron,
abducted two other young Palestinian men from the Surif neighborhood, a
suburb of Hebron.
Local sources said that soldiers broke into the home of Mahmoud
Saleeby, 27, a resident of Beit Ummmar and Tayseer Gheemat, a resident
of Surif town. No further information was available as to the
destination of the abductees.
Israeli troops invaded the central West Bank city of Ramallah and
nearby Albeira town, and abducted both Majd Alboushy, 32, a resident of
the Om Al-Sharayet neighborhood of al-Bireh, and Saed Alkhateeb, from
the Almazra’a Algharbiya, northwest of Ramallah.
The Palestinian Prisoners’ Society (PPS) also noted that Israeli
forces detained a Palestinian from the Al-Aqsa mosque compound in
Jerusalem, after a group of Israeli settlers barged into the third
holiest site for Muslims.
In addition, PPS reported that a Palestinian man and 2 sons were
assaulted and detained by the Israeli army.
No further information was available at the time of reporting.

Adalah backs warning from UN human rights experts: Morning
after Israel’s West Bank annexation will be ‘vision of 21st century
apartheid’
June 18, 2020 12:40 AM admin Human
rights,
17/06/2020: ADALAH
– The Legal Center for Arab Minority Rights In Israel:
UN experts: Annexation would be a crystallization of already unjust
reality: two peoples living in same space, ruled by the same state, but
with profoundly unequal rights; Adalah and partners: UN and the
international community must oppose annexation, guarantee the right of
Palestinians to self-determination.
Adalah – The Legal Center for Arab Minority Rights in Israel
presented an oral intervention yesterday, 16 June 2020, at the United
Nations Human Rights Council in Geneva, co-sponsored by four partner
Palestinian human rights organizations, calling on the UN and the
international community to vehemently oppose Israel’s looming annexation
of large swaths of the occupied Palestinian West Bank and to push for
the dismantling of all Israeli settlements.
Adalah and partner groups warn that annexation will normalize
Israel’s colonial project and amounts to apartheid via the continued
expansion and construction of illegal settlements, displacement and
dispossession of Palestinians, and demographic manipulation. The Israeli
plan would further entrench racial, ethnic, and religious segregation as
a legal norm, and Israel will formally establish itself as the sole
sovereign regime over the Palestinian people in historic Palestine.
Later that same day, 47 UN special rapporteurs issued
a biting denunciation of Israel’s West Bank annexation plan, calling it
“a vision of 21st-century apartheid”.
The oral intervention was delivered yesterday by Nada Awad of the
Cairo Institute for Human Rights Studies to the 43rd session of the
United Nations Human Rights Council on behalf of Adalah, Al-Haq – Law in
Service of Man, Cairo Institute for Human Rights Studies, Women’s Centre
for Legal Aid and Counselling (WCLAC), and Al Mezan Centre for Human
Rights.
The full text of the oral intervention, presented in the context of
Item 9 – Racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related forms of
intolerance, follow-up, and implementation of the Durban Declaration and
Programme of Action, is as follows:
Madam President,
Last month, in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic, Israel swore in
a new government seemingly committed to formally annexing parts of the
occupied Palestinian territory (OPT) in the West Bank in July, in a
blatant violation of international law. This annexation, part of the
so-called Trump-Netanyahu “Deal of the Century” and the Netanyahu-Gantz
coalition agreement, normalizes Israel’s colonial project and amounts to
apartheid via the continued expansion and construction of illegal
settlements, displacement and dispossession of Palestinians, and
demographic manipulation.
The principles of this plan are enshrined in Israel’s Jewish
Nation-State Basic Law enacted in July 2018. This law established a
constitutional order based on systematic ethnic supremacy, domination,
and segregation in the so-called “Land of Israel” and the denial of the
realization of national self-determination for the Palestinian people.
Article 7 of this law provides that Jewish settlement is a national
value to be encouraged and strengthened, giving the state authorities
further constitutional legal tools to justify the illegal settlement
enterprise in the occupied Palestinian and Syrian territories. This law
intends to justify as constitutional segregation in land and housing
that targets all Palestinians in historic Palestine, including
Palestinians citizens of Israel, who have suffered decades of systematic
oppression.
Annexation would further entrench racial, ethnic, and religious
segregation as a legal norm. In this context, Israel will formally
establish itself as the sole sovereign regime over the Palestinian
people in historic Palestine.
We call on the UN and the international community to call for the
dismantling of all settlements, to vehemently oppose any annexation, and
to guarantee the right of the Palestinian people to self-determination,
including the right of return to their homes and property.
UN experts warn: Israel’s annexation plan is 21st century apartheid
Adalah backs the
statement issued later in the day by 47 UN special rapporteurs – who
are leading independent human rights experts – warning that Israel’s
West Bank annexation would break international law and would entrench
what they called “a vision of a 21st century apartheid”.
Following is the full text of the statement:
The agreement by the new coalition Government of Israel to annex
significant parts of the occupied Palestinian West Bank after 1 July
would violate a cornerstone principle of international law and must be
meaningfully opposed by the international community, UN experts said
today. Forty-seven of the independent Special Procedures mandates
appointed by the Human Rights Council issued the following statement:
“The annexation of occupied territory is a serious violation of the
Charter of the United Nations and the Geneva Conventions, and contrary
to the fundamental rule affirmed many times by the United Nations
Security Council and General Assembly that the acquisition of territory
by war or force is inadmissible. The international community has
prohibited annexation precisely because it incites wars, economic
devastation, political instability, systematic human rights abuses, and
widespread human suffering.
Israel’s stated plans for annexation would extend sovereignty over
most of the Jordan Valley and all of the more than 235 illegal Israeli
settlements in the West Bank. This would amount to approximately 30
percent of the West Bank. The annexation of this territory was endorsed
by the American Peace to Prosperity Plan, released in late January 2020.
The United Nations has stated on many occasions that the 53-year-old
Israeli occupation is the source of profound human rights violations
against the Palestinian people. These violations include land
confiscation, settler violence, discriminatory planning laws, the
confiscation of natural resources, home demolitions, forcible population
transfer, excessive use of force and torture, labor exploitation,
extensive infringements of privacy rights, restrictions on the media and
freedom of expression, the targeting of women activists and journalists,
the detention of children, poisoning by exposure to toxic wastes, forced
evictions and displacement, economic deprivation and extreme poverty,
arbitrary detention, lack of freedom of movement, food insecurity,
discriminatory law enforcement and the imposition of a two-tier system
of disparate political, legal, social, cultural and economic rights
based on ethnicity and nationality. Palestinian and Israeli human rights
defenders, who peacefully bring public attention to these violations,
are slandered, criminalized or labeled as terrorists. Above all, the
Israeli occupation has meant the denial of the right of Palestinian
self-determination.
These human rights violations would only intensify after annexation.
What would be left of the West Bank would be a Palestinian Bantustan,
islands of disconnected land completely surrounded by Israel and with no
territorial connection to the outside world. Israel has recently
promised that it will maintain permanent security control between the
Mediterranean and the Jordan River. Thus, the morning after annexation
would be the crystallization of an already unjust reality: two peoples
living in the same space, ruled by the same state, but with profoundly
unequal rights. This is a vision of a 21st century apartheid.
Twice before, Israel has annexed occupied land – East Jerusalem in
1980 and the Syrian Golan Heights in 1981. On both occasions, the UN
Security Council immediately condemned the annexations as unlawful but
took no meaningful countermeasures to oppose Israel’s actions.
Similarly, the Security Council has repeatedly criticized the Israeli
settlements as a flagrant violation under international law. Yet,
Israel’s defiance of these resolutions and its ongoing entrenchment of
the settlements has gone unanswered by the international community.
This time must be different. The international community has solemn
legal and political responsibilities to defend a rules-based
international order, to oppose violations of human rights and
fundamental principles of international law and to give effect to its
many resolutions critical of Israel’s conduct of this protracted
occupation. In particular, states have a duty not to recognise, aid or
assist another state in any form of illegal activity, such as annexation
or the creation of civilian settlements in occupied territory. The
lessons from the past are clear: Criticism without consequences will
neither forestall annexation nor end the occupation.
Accountability and an end to impunity must become an immediate
priority for the international community. Available to it is a broad
menu of accountability measures that have been widely and successfully
applied by the UN Security Council in other international crises over
the past 60 years. The accountability measures that are selected must be
taken in full conformity with international law, be proportionate,
effective, subject to regular review, consistent with human rights,
humanitarian and refugee law, and designed to undo the annexations and
bring the occupation and the conflict to a just and durable conclusion.
Palestinians and Israelis deserve no less.
We express great regret about the role of the United States of
America in supporting and encouraging Israel’s unlawful plans for the
further annexation of occupied territory. On many occasions over the
past 75 years, the United States has played an important role in the
advancement of global human rights. On this occasion, it should be
ardently opposing the imminent breach of a fundamental principle of
international law, rather than actively abetting its violation.”

GENEVA, Tuesday, June 16, 2020 (WAFA): Israel’s planned annexation of
large swaths of the occupied West Bank land starting July 1 constitutes
a serious violation of the United Nations Charter and the Geneva
Conventions and the international community has a duty to prevent it,
today said 47 of the independent Special Procedures mandates appointed
by the United Nations Human Rights Council.
“The annexation of occupied territory is a serious violation of the

Israel said it plans to annex the Jordan Valley and northern Dead Sea
territory and extend sovereignty over more than 235 illegal Israeli

PCHR: Weekly Report on Israeli Human Rights Violations in
the Occupied Palestinian Territory (June 11 – 17, 2020)
Palestinian Centre for Human Rights
Israeli violations of human rights in the occupied
Palestinian territory (11 – 17 June 2020)
Summary
The Israeli forces continued to commit crimes and
multi-pronged violations against Palestinian civilians and
their properties, including raids into Palestinian cities
that are characterized with excessive use of force, assault,
abuse and attacks on civilians. This week, Israeli Forces’
excessive use of force rendered 9 injuries among Palestinian
civilians, including 3 journalists in the West Bank.
Additionally, IOF continued home-demolitions in the West
Bank, and distribution of demolition and cease-construction
notices while it continues land razing for the establishment
of settlement-roads, as Israeli occupation authorities
prepare to commence its annexation plan of large parts of
West Bank territories.
This week, PCHR documented 183 violations of international
human rights law and international humanitarian law (IHL) by
IOF and settlers in the oPt.
Israeli Forces shooting and violation of right to bodily
integrity: IOF shot and wounded 9 Palestinians,
including 3 journalists, in excessive use of force against
them in the West Bank: 5 were shot, including the 3
journalists, in dispersal of Kufur Qaddoum protest in
Qalqilia; and 4 in occupied East Jerusalem.
In Gaza, 4 shootings against agricultural lands eastern Gaza
Strip were reported; and twice against fishing boats sailing
in northern Gaza sea. Additionally, Israeli warplanes
carried out two missile-attacks on vacant lands in eastern
Rafah, and southeastern Gaza.
Israeli Forces incursions and arrests of Palestinian
civilians: IOF carried out 74 incursions into the
West Bank, including occupied East Jerusalem. Those
incursions included raids of civilian houses and shootings,
enticing fear among civilians, and attacking many of them.
During this week’s incursions, 75 Palestinians were
arrested, including 16 children and a woman. In the Gaza
Strip, IOF conducted 1 limited incursion into northern Gaza
Strip.
Settlement expansion activities and settlers’ attacks:
IOF continued its settlement expansion operations in the
West Bank, PCHR documented 7 violations, including;
Bethlehem: Palestinian
banned access to his land; and lands and walls razed for the
establishment of two settlement-roads;
East Jerusalem: 1 house
self-demolished and another residential building (3-storey)
demolished; other demolitions included: 1 residential
facility; 7 small commercial facilities; 1 barracks;
under-construction apartment and sports center wall;
Ramallah: 3 demolition
and evacuation notices to civilian houses.
PCHR also documented 8 settler attacks: arson attacks on a
car and agriculture lands and assault on a civilian; terror
attacks on residential tents, barns, and solar cells
destroyed in Nablus; and assaults on civilian houses in
Hebron.
Collective punishment policy: IOF took the measures
of Nathmi Abu-Baker’s home, from Ya’bad in Jenin, who is
imprisoned by IOF allegedly for throwing a stone that killed
an Israeli soldier. This move is a prelude to demolishing
Abu-Baker’s home which falls under the systematic Israeli
collective punishment policy.
Israeli closure policy and restrictions on freedom of
movement: The Gaza Strip continues to suffer the
worst blockade in the History of the Israeli occupation of
the oPt as it has entered the 14th consecutive year, without
any improvement to the movement of persons and goods,
humanitarian conditions and bearing catastrophic
consequences on all aspects of life.
Furthermore, IOF uses Erez Crossing that is designated for
movement of individuals as an ambush to arrest Palestinians
who obtain permits to exit via Israel. It should be noted
that coordination for the travel of patients and others via
the crossing have stopped since the Palestinian General
Authority for Civil Affairs’ (GACA) work was suspended
pursuant to Palestinian President announcement on 19 May
2020 that the State of Palestine and the Palestine
Liberation Organization (PLO) are no longer bound by
treaties and agreements with the American and Israeli
governments and all consequent obligations to such treaties
and agreements, including security.
The PA decision was motivated by the annexation plans of
over 30% of West Bank area intended by Israel with the
support of the current U.S. Administration under President
Trump.
Meanwhile, IOF continued to divide the West Bank into
separate cantons with key roads blocked by the Israeli
occupation since the Second Intifada and with temporary and
permanent checkpoints, where civilian movement is
restricted, and they are subject to arrest.
