The Palestinian Uprising
(09/2000)
Causes and Media Coverage

 

The real cause of Palestinian uprising, is the building frustration against the the continuing occupation that was headed more toward an Aprtheid-Bantustan system than toward liberation -- under the guise of "peace". This is clear in Israel's actions during the negotiation period described by A. Pacheco below:

"Since 1994, Palestinians have seen the influx of 50,000 new Jewish settlers into the West Bank and Gaza, the paving of more than 400 kilometers of roads on confiscated land, demolition of more than 800 Palestinian homes, a threefold increase in unemployment in the territories and a 21 percent decline in their gross domestic product, the arrest of 13,000 Palestinians, and complete curtailment of freedom of movement." -- Allegra Pacheco from NY Times (10/05/2000)

The United Nations Security Council has adopted Resolution 1322 by a vote of 14 to 0, which "condemns acts of violence, especially the excessive use of force against Palestinians, resulting in injury and loss of human life" and "calls upon Israel, the occupying Power, to abide scrupulously by its legal obligations and its responsibilities under the Fourth Geneva Convention relative to the Protection of Civilian Persons in Time of War of 12 August 1949."

"Human Rights Watch has sent two fact-finding teams to the region since the outbreak of violence on September 29. Our research has documented a pattern of excessive and indiscriminate use of lethal force by Israel Defense Forces (IDF) when responding to Palestinian protests." See here

Excerpts from an interview by Israeli journalist Amira Haas of an Israeli sharpshooter, Ha'aretz 11/20/2000:
Journalist: I've been at those places, those demonstrations, where the Palestinians open fire.
Sharpshooter: "Are you trying to say that the Palestinian firing is pathetic?"
Journalist: Yes.
Sharpshooter: "Correct. I agree. Usually the Palestinian fire is pathetic."
Journalist: And the army knew it was pathetic.
Sharpshooter: "Yes. The shooting is totally pathetic. And until there's shooting, you know that most of it will be into the air.."
Journalist: Is this showing off?
Sharpshooter: "Yes. The IDF knows this."
Journalist: So why kill, why not just injure?
Sharpshooter: "If you decide to wound people, more people will get hurt, and the question is whether this is better. Wounding fans anger even more."[....]
Sharpshooter: "They [IDF leaders] forbid us to shoot at children."

Journalist: How do they say this?

Sharpshooter: "You don't shoot a child who is 12 or younger."
Journalist: That is, a child of 12 or older is allowed?
Sharpshooter: "Twelve and up is allowed. He's not a child any more, he's already after his bar mitzvah. Something like that."
