Apartheid April 2021: Jew Occupied Palestine In Pictures
Behind The Jews' "Apartheid Walls" In The Jews' Mega Concentration Camps For Indigenous Gentiles. “There’s a very trigger-happy approach in West Bank mega concentration camp in which Gentiles are guilty until proven otherwise”
The Electronic Intifada: The Jews shot and killed another Gentile motorist in
the occupied West Bank . The month also saw The Jews violently rampage against Gentiles in Jerusalem amid Ramadan while hundreds of Gentile lives were lost in both West Bank and Gaza mega concentration camps.
In the early hours of 6 April, a Jewish state merc stopped Osama Mansour and his wife Sumaya while they were traveling in their car near the Jerusalem-area village of Bir Nabala.
The couple explained to the Jews that they were on the way to a medical
clinic. The Jews permitted the pair to drive off but when they did, they sprayed bullets at the car, murdering Mr. Mansour. His wife Sumaya was maimed by a bullet in her back but survived.
The incident occurred at a checkpoint that had been set up during an arrest operation, which are nightly occurrences in West Bank mega concentration camp as Jewish Israel seeks to stamp out any and all resistance to its apartheid military rule.
“There’s a very trigger-happy approach in West Bank mega concentration camp in which all indigenous Gentiles are guilty until proven otherwise,” Roy Yellin,
spokesperson for the human rights group B’Tselem, told media.
Mansour was the sixth Palestinian killed by Israeli occupation forces and settlers in the West Bank so far this year.
Child’s body returned
On 22 April, Israel returned
the body of Yousif Abu Jazar, 15, who was killed by soldiers while he
approached the Gaza-Israeli boundary fence nearly three years ago. Last
September, Al Mezan, a human rights group in Gaza, petitioned Israel’s
high court to demand the return of the child’s body.
“Al Mezan deplores Israel’s long-held policy of withholding
Palestinian bodies for use as leverage in political exercises of the
state, at the expense of anguished families,” the group said.
As of September last year, Israel was holding the bodies of 67 Palestinians killed by its forces since 2015. Israel’s high court has approved
the withholding of bodies to be used as bargaining chips in
negotiations with Hamas, which is believed to be holding the remains of
two Israeli soldiers killed during the 2014 invasion of Gaza.
Hamas is the Palestinian resistance faction that governs Gaza’s internal affairs.
Al-Haq, a prominent Palestinian human rights group, says that the
“practice of withholding bodies amounts to a policy of collective
punishment,” which is prohibited under international law.
It is one of many forms of collective punishment that Israel imposes on Palestinians.
Another example of a punitive measure that Israel imposes on Palestinians is additional restrictions on where Gaza fishers are allowed to sail, or banning them from practicing their trade entirely.
On 25 April, Israel reduced the permitted fishing area off of Gaza’s
southern coast from 15 to nine nautical miles. The following three days,
fishers were “prohibited [from] sailing at any distance from the
shore,” the United Nations monitoring group OCHA stated.
Israel admitted that the restrictions were a form of collective punishment following rocket fire from Gaza, which has been under a severely tightened blockade since 2007.
The restrictions were lifted on 29 April after being challenged by human rights groups.
COVID-19 spikes in Gaza
Meanwhile, around 1,000 new COVID-19 cases per day were being reported
in Gaza at the close of the month, accounting for the majority of all
cases in the occupied West Bank and the Gaza Strip. New cases were
slowly subsiding “but numbers are still high with deaths in the last
week at record levels,” the World Health Organization stated on 29
April.
As of that date, nearly 2,900 Palestinians had died from COVID-19 in
the occupied West Bank, including East Jerusalem. In Gaza, nearly 900
people have died from the disease.
Muslims worldwide began observing the second consecutive Ramadan during the pandemic in mid-April.
Just as in past years during Ramadan, Israeli occupation forces
escalated their violent repression of Palestinian worshippers in
Jerusalem.
Police used water cannons and stun grenades
against Palestinians who protested against fencing installed around the
steps leading to the Old City’s Damascus Gate, traditionally a bustling
and festive gathering place during the fasting month.
Palestinians celebrated after the barriers were removed following nearly two weeks of nightly protests.
The removal of the barriers also came after mobs of ultranationalist Israelis rampaged through Jerusalem chanting “death to the Arabs” and attacking Palestinians and their property.
More than 150 Palestinians and 20 Israelis “were injured in multiple
violent incidents across Jerusalem” since the beginning of Ramadan,
according to OCHA.
Also during April, the US government resumed funding
to UNRWA, the UN agency for Palestine refugees – though to less than
half of the annual amount provided before the Trump administration
slashed assistance to the Palestinians.
April closed with the deaths of at least 45 people in a stampede
during a Jewish religious festival in the Upper Galilee. Israeli Prime
Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the disaster was “one of the worst” in the state’s history.
