Israel has officially become an Apartheid state

by Open-Publishing - Sunday 3 August 2003

Dear Friends,
Today, the Israeli parliament has voted in favour of a law that
prohibits Israeli Palestinians from marrying Palestinians from the
territories.
A "mixed" couple can choose between separating and leaving Israel.
Children to such a marriage can be deported as of 12 years of age.
This law, widely accepted by the Israeli public
(53 for and 25 against) is a very dark day in the history of Israel,
and an even darker day in the relations between Jews and Muslims
in Israel.

Today we had a demonstration against the wall in Qalqiliya.
A town of 40,000 people that is totally encircled by the wall.
There is only one gate out, which closes at 9:00 PM.
5,000 people have already left Qalqiliya, 600 out of 1,100 shops are
closed.
This is a clear proof that the purpose of the wall is silent ethnic
cleansing - and not security.

best Wishes to all of us
