codzienność: Human rights violations against Palestinians by Israel

Evidence: 64 • authority: 72

On 17 August 2009, the Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet published an article alleging that organs had been taken from Palestinians who had been in Israeli custody. Israeli officials rejected the article's allegations and described them as antisemitic. The Swedish government refused to condemn the article, and upheld Aftonbladet's freedom of speech, leading to a rift between the Swedish and the Israeli governments. Palestinian officials and families of the deceased called for an independent investigation. In December 2009, Israeli officials acknowledged that organs and tissues had been taken without family permission from the bodies of Palestinians, Israelis and foreign workers. These Palestini…

Organ theft is the act of taking a person's organs for transplantation or sale on the black market, without their explicit consent through means of being an organ donor or other forms of consent. Most cases of organ theft involve coercion, occurrences in wartime, or thefts within hospital settings. Organ theft is a commonly used trope in speculative fiction.

Israeli Occupation and Palestinian Resistance, 2000–2008. This chapter begins with a discussion of the second Palestinian intifada and the Israeli response. Though Arafat had not ordered the intifada, it is likely that as he gained control he allowed it to continue, having reason to believe it might lead to Israeli concessions. The previous pattern of Israeli concessions only under duress is described. However, this time Palestinian terrorism hardened Israeli resistance to compromise. The Israeli occupation of Gaza is discussed, along with the development of Palestinian resistance and its repression by Israel, not only of Palestinian violence but nonviolent resistance and civil disobedience…

The Israeli-Palestinian Conflict, 1917–88. The early history of the Zionist-Israeli conflict, from 1917 to the 1980s, is discussed. The early Zionist leaders recognized that the Palestinians had understandable reasons to resist Zionism but concluded that the need for a Jewish state outweighed the Palestinian case, leaving the Zionists no choice but to militarily defeat the Palestinians by the “iron wall” strategy. The Peel Commission and UN partition plans are explored, accepted by the Zionists only tactically until they were strong enough to expel most Palestinians from the land allotted to a Jewish state, so as to create an 80 percent Jewish majority. The rise of the PLO under Yasser Araf…

Zionism is an ethnic nationalist movement that emerged in late 19th-century Europe to establish and support a Jewish homeland through colonization in the region of Palestine, which roughly corresponds to the Land of Israel in Judaism—itself central to Jewish history. Zionists wanted to create a Jewish state in Palestine with as much land, as many Jews, and as few Palestinian Arabs as possible. Zionism was the main force behind the creation of the State of Israel in 1948, and remains the country's dominant ideology today. Modern Zionism initially emerged in Central and Eastern Europe as a secular nationalist movement in the late 19th century, in reaction to new waves of antisemitism and in r…

Removing Borders, Erasing Palestinians: Israeli Population Maps after 1967. Chapter 3, “Removing Borders, Erasing Palestinians”, provides an analysis of the ways that even abstract statistical facts are conditioned by the political landscapes where they are produced. It examines Israeli population maps in the years 1967-1995. After 1967, the close geographic proximity of Palestinians posed a challenge to the policy of not indicating the borders of the Palestinian Territories on Israeli maps. Roberto Bachi, the director of the Israeli population census, sought to address this challenge while also helping to turn cartography into an international science. As a result, he led the census away f…

Children and children's rights have long been a focal point of the ongoing Israeli–Palestinian conflict, dating as early as the 1929 Hebron massacre and the 1948 Deir Yassin massacre, both of which claimed the lives of children, precipitating a long conflict that has often led to the displacement, injury, and death of youths. Youth exposure to hostilities increased notably during the First and Second Intifada, where harsh responses from Israeli forces towards Palestinian adolescents and children protesting the Israeli occupation led to the arrest and detention of many Palestinian youth, in addition to other human rights abuses. Children have been regular victims and, at times, used as perpe…
