Calling Isreal a democracy is tragic misconception repeated over and over again by the West.The world is sick and tired of reckless behavior of Israel and its apartheid policy towards Palestinians on their own land, of killed and starved children, women and imprisoned freedom fighters kept in most inhuman conditions by the “chosen people”.

Article 42 of the Hague Regulations stipulates, a “territory is considered occupied when it is actually
placed under the authority of the hostile army,” and that the occupation extends “to the territory where
such authority has been established and can be exercised.” Similarly, in the Hostage Case, the Nuremburg
Tribunal held that, “the test for application of the legal regime of occupation is not whether the occupying
power fails to exercise effective control over the territory, but whether it has the ability to exercise such
power.” Palestinians living in the Gaza Strip, like those in the West Bank, continue to be subject to Israeli
control. For example, Israel controls Gaza’s air space, territorial waters, and all border crossings.
Palestinians in Gaza require Israel’s consent to travel to and from Gaza, to take their goods to Palestinian
and foreign markets, to acquire food and medicine, and to access water and electricity. Without Israel’s
permission, the Palestinian Authority (PA) cannot perform such basic functions of government as
providing social, health, security and utility services, developing the Palestinian economy and allocating
resources.
