"Voor de mensen op de Westoever is het nu bijna niet meer mogelijk om hun dag te plannen.[...] Door de checkpoints komen mensen te laat of helemaal niet op hun werk, waardoor ze vaak inkomsten mislopen."
De controleposten worden regelmatig voor een dag of langer helemaal gesloten. "Boeren kunnen dan niet naar hun vee en gewassen. Sommige dorpen raken zelfs afgesloten van hun waterbronnen"

Today in Labor History June 6, 1982: Israel invaded Lebanon, remaining until June 6, 1985. The war was led by Ariel Sharon, who later became prime minister, despite the Kahan Commission later finding him culpable for the Sabra and Shatila massacre, which killed up to 3,500 Palestinian refugees and Lebanese Shiites. By the end of the war, Israel had lost over 650 soldiers. However, up to 2,400 PLO militants and 1,200 Syria soldiers were killed. And as many as 20,000 civilians were killed during the war.

Today in Labor History June 5, 1967: Israel attacked Egypt and Syria, during the Six-Day War, resulting in its illegal occupation of the Sinai Peninsula, West Bank, Gaza Strip & Golan Heights, and the displacement of 400,000 Palestinians. During the war, Saudi Arabia, Lebanon, Iraq, Jordan and Kuwait all supported the Arab coalition. Over 700 Israeli soldiers died in the war. 10,000-16,000 died on the Arab side. Additionally, 15 UN peacekeepers died, as well as 34 U.S. marines, navy and National Security Agents, who died when Israel torpedoed the USS Liberty, a U.S. spy ship that was in international waters. Israel claimed it was an accident and the U.S. government officially accepted this explanation. However, many believed it was a deliberate attack, including Secretary of State, Dean Rusk, and many of the survivors of the attack.

🎯 ‘Our problem is not with the Jewish people it’s with occupiers’ says Ahmed al-Naouq to Piers Morgan, who pretends to be more stupid than he actually is.

"Al-Naouq argued that neither Hamas nor the Palestinian people have an issue with Jewish people, but rather with Israelis.

“This is not a religious war. This is a war between colonisation and the colonised — occupiers and the occupied.”

Today in Labor History June 4, 1939: The U.S. blocked the MS St. Louis from landing in Florida. The ship carried 963 Jewish refugees who were fleeing the Nazis. Canada also refused. As a result, the ship was forced back to Europe. Over 200 of its passengers ultimately died in Nazi concentration camps. The ordeal is also known as the Voyage of the Damned. This event has been depicted in numerous books, including Julian Barnes’s novel, A History of the World in 10 ½ Chapters (1989); Bodie and Brock Thoene's novel Munich Signature (1991); and Leonardo Padura's novel Herejes (2013). Cordell Hull, who was Secretary of State at the time, and who led the fight to turn the refugees away, won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1944. It was one of the worst Nobel prizes ever awarded (along with Henry Kissinger (1973), who facilitated bloody dictatorships in Chile and Argentina, genocides in Bangladesh and East Timor, and carpet bombing of Cambodia. Or Elihu Root (1912), the U.S. Secretary of War who oversaw the brutal repression of the Filipino independence movement. And let’s not forget Shimon Peres, Yitzak Rabin and Yasser Arafat (1994), who jointly won the Nobel Peace Prize despite their histories of human rights abuses. Or Aung San Suu Kyi (1991). Or Mikhail Gorbachev (1990), who sent tanks into the Baltic republics less than a year after winning his “peace” prize, killing numerous civilians. Or Barack Obama (2009), who began assassinating civilians with his drones and arresting more immigrants than his predecessor, George W. Bush, not long after winning his Nobel. Or Woodrow Wilson (1919), an outright racist and apologist for slavery, who sent troops to occupy Nicaragua and the Dominican Republic, and to “intervene” in Cuba, Honduras and Panama, and who oversaw the Palmer raids that led to over 10,000 arrests and over 500 deportations of union leaders, peace activists, socialists and anarchists. Or Menachem Begin (1978), who four years after receiving his “peace” prize launched the bloody invasion of Lebanon, and who refused to fire Ariel Sharon, even after the Kahan Commission found Sharon culpable for the Sabra and Shatila massacre.

Today in Labor History June 1, 1914: 80 U.S. militia men refused to board a train as reinforcements for the U.S. invasion of Veracruz, Mexico. The U.S. ultimately occupied the region for six months because President Huerta refused to provide the U.S. with a 21-gun salute as an apology for arresting nine U.S. sailors. More significantly, Veracruz was an important oil port. Germany and Britain had been battling for its control. The occupation gave the U.S. greater influence on the still unfolding Mexican Revolution, as well as the growing tensions in Europe. 21 US troops died in the invasion and occupation, while slaughtering over 320 Mexicans.
