Inleiding

Surveillance is een belangrijk onderdeel van het Israëlische apartheidssysteem, waardoor Palestijnen in Israël al sinds meer dan 50 jaar worden onderdrukt en vermoord.
Mede door dit apartheidssysteem is surveillance ook een belangrijk exportprodukt voor Israël.
Veel westerse landen ondersteunen door hun afname van Israëlische produkten dit apartheidssysteem.

• Gate48: critical Israelis in the Netherlands | About gate48

  gate48 is a platform for Israelis living in the Netherlands who oppose the occupation of Palestinian territories and call for its end. gate48 was founded in 2007 by three Israeli women, living in the Netherlands. We, members of gate48, see Israel as our home: we are connected to Israel by our families, the Hebrew language, the food, the smells and the landscape. That does not mean that we necessarily agree with our government at all times. As Israelis living in the Netherlands, we wish to convey that criticizing Israel's official policy is not the same as being anti-Israeli

  BEZETTING EN GENOCIDE

  APARTHEID IN ISRAEL

• Israel is pioneering new methods of genocide 16-apr-2024 | Peter Gelderloos

  Israel is making sure it will be remembered in history as a pioneer of genocide. Multiple Israeli military sources have testified that the Israeli military is using AI to guide missile and bomb strikes against Palestinians. If the Israeli military's Artificial Intelligence determines that a person is a military member of Hamas, the Israeli military will systematically approve of a missile or bomb strike to murder that person and any civilians in the immediate vicinity.
  The excuse for the latest Israeli terror was the capture last June of an Israeli soldier, a member of an illegal occupation, by the Palestinian resistance. This was news. The kidnapping a few days earlier by Israel of two Palestinians two of thousands taken over the years was not news.

• Diagnostic of the Future: Between the Crisis of Democracy and the Crisis of Capitalism: A Forecast by Peter Gelderloos, 5-nov-2018 | CrimethInc

  On July 20, 2018, with the signing of the "Jewish nation-state" law, Israel became the first explicit ethno state. Likud's actions, and the reactionary coalition they represent, throw into sharp relief the ongoing crisis of democracy.
  The Israeli state has revealed its willingness to break with democratic equality in order to construct a new synthesis by legislating non-equal rights-explicitly denying Arabs, Muslims, and other non-Jews the right to self-determination or the right to land and housing, and specically striking even a symbolic commitment to democracy from the language of the new law

• Security theology: life, death and the everyday in Israel-Palestine | openDemocracy Nadera Shalhoub-Kevorkian spoke to Zoe Holman in the West Bank about Israeli settler-colonialism, a necropolitical regime, and her latest book, Security Theology, Surveillance and the Politics of Fear, 14-sep-2015

  Zoe Holman: How do you define 'security theology'?
  Nadera Shalhoub-Kevorkian: I say that there is a clear security theology at work in Israel, which means that the state has turned security into a theology whereby no-one can discuss, challenge or talk about this ideology in different ways. Just like a biblical theology, there is also a security theology and this is one of the greatest structures in the history of ethnic cleansing. It allows all sorts of things to be done in the name of theology: it masks state violence through the use of a security presence, which works to naturalise the dispossession and racialisation of the Palestinians. So in my book I talk about the two theologies: on the one hand, there is a Biblical belief in the chosen people and the promised land, and on the other, a security theology that is embedded in a settler-colonial ideology. These ideologies are based on a militaristic system that produces fear of Palestinians and creates legal systems, social systems and media systems - an assemblage of different theologies - that ensure the power of the state

• A Hideous Atrocity: Noam Chomsky on Israel's Assault on Gaza & U.S. Support for the Occupation | Democracy Now!, 7-aug-2014

  Hideous. Sadistic. Vicious. Murderous. That is how Noam Chomsky describes Israel's 29-day offensive in Gaza that killed nearly 1,900 people and left almost 10,000 people injured. Chomsky has written extensively about the Israel/Palestine conflict for decades. After Israel's Operation Cast Lead in 2008-2009, Chomsky co-authored the book "Gaza in Crisis: Reflections on Israel's War Against the Palestinians" with Israeli scholar Ilan Pappé. His other books on the Israel/Palestine conflict include "Peace in the Middle East?: Reflections on Justice and Nationhood" and "The Fateful Triangle: The United States, Israel, and the Palestinians." Chomsky is a world-renowned political dissident, linguist and author, Institute Professor Emeritus at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where he has taught for more than 50 years

  | Noam Chomsky: Israel's Actions in Palestine are "Much Worse Than Apartheid" in South Africa | Democracy Now!, 8-aug-2014

  Part 2 of our conversation with famed linguist and political dissident Noam Chomsky on the crisis in Gaza, U.S. support for Israel, apartheid and the BDS movement. "In the Occupied Territories, what Israel is doing is much worse than apartheid," Chomsky says.
  "To call it apartheid is a gift to Israel, at least if by 'apartheid' you mean South African-style apartheid. What's happening in the Occupied Territories is much worse. There's a crucial difference. The South African Nationalists needed the black population. That was their workforce. ... The Israeli relationship to the Palestinians in the Occupied Territories is totally different. They just don't want them. They want them out, or at least in prison."

• Looking to the side, from Belsen to Gaza 18-jan-2007 | Internet archive John Pilger

  A genocide is engulfing the people of Gaza while a silence engulfs its bystanders. "Some 1.4 million people, mostly children, are piled up in one of the most densely populated regions of the world, with no freedom of movement, no place to run and no space to hide," wrote the senior UN relief official, Jan Egeland, and Jan Eliasson, then Swedish foreign minister, in Le Figaro. They described people "living in a cage", cut off by land, sea and air, with no reliable power and little water and tortured by hunger and disease and incessant attacks by Israeli troops and planes
