Israel: Businesses Should End Settlement Activity

Businesses should stop operating in, financing, servicing, or trading with Israeli settlements in order to comply with their human rights responsibilities. Those activities contribute to and benefit from an inherently unlawful and abusive system that violates the rights of Palestinians.

[ISRAEL HAS NO LEGAL BASIS TO WITHHOLD CORPSES]

Israel is more than determined to collectively punish Palestinians even on a law that no longer exists or a law that has no legal jurisdiction on them. On top of that, the law relied on is not even faithfully adhered to by Israel.

What does Israeli Law say?

Israel’s favourite oppressive law Regulation 133(3) of the Defense Emergency Regulations 1945 states that :

it only applies to a person that has been lawfully convicted of a serious crime that warrants execution

The person has been legally executed in prison and;

The person MUST be buried in their own community

If Israel actually respect their own law, they would give a fine reading of the said provision. Nowhere in this the Emergency Regulations give power to withhold any dead bodies especially on civilians. 

We will continue calling out Israel’s blatant misuse and abuse of the law in oppressing Palestinians.

KEEPING DEAD BODIES SINCE 1967

Israel has been keeping dead bodies of Palestinians  for more than 57 years dating back to 1967 . When it comes to Palestinians, Israel adopts a policy to oppress all equally. 

The dead, regardless of whether they had been charged or found guilty of any offence by Israel’s own Courts are not returned to their families. 

The dead are either kept in freezers or buried in military cemeteries. In a further cruel move to humiliate the Palestinian community, Israel does not even bother to mark the graves of the dead.

Families claiming dead bodies of their relatives have to do DNA tests to identify the deceased due to Israel’s deliberate negligence and lack of human compassion.

We remain steadfast to continuously call out Israel’s blatant disrespect to any laws including their own. A Policy of oppression will not be able to defeat the truth that is upheld by the law. What Israel has been doing since its foundation is using all means including distortion and misuse of the law to enable oppression.

They say wanderers have no loyalty, they don’t stay So count me surprised when your eyes rested on mine Making space for yourself, deep brown on sleet gray And it got me drunk, your attention, not the wine When you marked your territory soon after Going against everything I knew of you Luring me in with warmth and laughter And shouldn’t that have been my clue They say the vagabonds are ruthless,…
