Actually it's not Israeli law by which the Palestinians land is being expropriated. Because it isnt Israel.
What the Israelis are doing is they occupy Palestine, and adminster it under the Ottoma-era adminstrative codes that the British used when Palestine was British colony (aka the UN "mandate). Its those administrative regulations by which they sieze land and mass imprison Palestinians ("administrative detention") and by which they summarily execute anyone they want, even children.
disagree. It IS israeli "law" that can be changed on a whim. what say you about the eastern European "settlers" who claim to be "jews" despite not having an ounce of semitic DNA?
I agree with your observation that the Israeli government appears to be applying their version of the old Ottoman Empire’s codes of differentiation of Christians, Jews and Muslims.
Most readers may be unaware of such.
My refugee family lived under Ottoman rule, and was ethnically cleansed under the auspices of the British Empire.
I congratulate you for mentioning that system.
Of course, in the USA, we had the “whites only” and “coloreds only” rules well into the second half of the 20th Century.
That was great historical footnote, so now we can attribute Zionist cruelty to Ottoman-era administrative codes that the British adopted, does that justify it or make it any less evil?
I cannot think of any country, city of protectorate that was ruled by the so called great British Empire which was not subjected to savage brutality by the British. It’s not surprising that America has become that which it once deemed insufferable.
The wake of destruction that European Empires through their settler-colonial rampages, have wrought on humanity is just too immense to even fathom.
Let remember the key words of the "Bush Doctrine" of the 2nd Bush President,
"“It is the policy of the United States to seek and support the growth of democratic movements and institutions in every nation and culture, with the ultimate goal of ending tyranny in our world.”
- Translation; Our operatives in the CIA and USAID will work to undermine every regime we wish to overthrow, we will force our vision of democracy on those we deem tyrannical dictators.
The parallels to the Catholic Church`s "The Doctrine of Discovery" of 1493 is a bit haunting. Six of the seven nations which General Wesley Clark spoke of have succumbed , only Iran remains
