40 years of Israeli Occupation

This week marks 40 years of the remainder of Palestinian lands being illegally occupied by Israel.

It was 40 years ago when Israel illegally stripped more Palestinians of their right of a homeland, basic human rights and freedom.

This was the 6 day War of 1967.

Today, the world still turns a blind eye to the inhumane treatment of Palestinians - because they are are simply not recognised as Human.

And Oprah will be going as a sign of Solidarity to Jews on a tour of Israel. I thought she fought against oppression and crimes against humanity. I thought she was anti-Apartheid. I thought she built schools for poor African girls. Sorry, I forgot, Palestinian children don't matter, Palestinians aren't human.

I ask you to remember, to learn the truth, to stop occupation - of the mind, body and spirit. De-humanisation forces people to lose the will to live. Countless Palestinians have lost the will to live, many have simply ceased to live.

I know of one person who lived under occupation his whole short life. He took the only thing he had possession of - his life, extinguished his flame which had dwindled to an ember living under Israeli oppression.

And the wall still goes up!

If your in Sydney next Saturday - as a sign of solidarity of basic human rights join a peaceful rally asking the world simply to remember.
