This is not a War against Terror. It is a War against Palestine
Occupied Jerusalem - Israeli sources claim that the goal of their current military policy is to destroy the "terrorist infrastructure" in the Palestinian territories, beginning with Ramallah and other cities in the West Bank. We wish to expose this as disinformation designed to justify Israeli actions against Palestinian civil society.
There is increasing evidence that Israel intends to wipe out the records of Palestinian social and political institutions: The Ramallah office of the Palestinian Independent Commission on Citizen's Rights (PICCR) has been ransacked and files have been stolen or destroyed. The full extent of the damage is not yet known. It should be noted that the PICCR is a national human rights organization.
Other offices raided or destroyed include the Ramallah office of Al-Haq, an independent human rights organization; the Ramallah branch office of the United Nations High Commission for Human Rights; the Palestinian Medical Relief Union, and the Mandela Institution. In addition, the Palestine Agricultural Relief Committees office has been occupied.
These politically independent offices have come under attack in order to destroy the Palestinian civilian infrastructure of the city, to destroy the records of civic organizations that have documented human rights breaches by the Israeli Occupation Forces, and to undermine Palestinian civil society in general. The aim here is to pave the way for the re-imposition of full Israeli military and civil administration in the Palestinian territories.
We call upon global civil society to intervene to stop these grave breaches of international law and violations of human rights. Silence in the face of these crimes amounts to complicity. We ask all people of conscience to take immediate action against what is happening. This is not a War against Terror; it is a War against Palestine. (14:35 TSİ PCI)
