Israeli Referendum Measure Blocks Land for Peace

Rafael Moreno | 03.08.2013 11:27 | University Occupations for Gaza | History | Palestine | Terror War | Cambridge | Oxford

Netanyahu heads Israel's worst government in history. It's hardline. It's extremist. It's fascist. It spurns Palestinian rights. It deplores peace. It enforces occupation harshness. On August 1, Haaretz headlined "Bill requiring referendum on ceding land passes first Knesset reading." Doing so lacks legitimacy. Israeli's have no legal authority. Palestinians alone may vote up or down on issues relating to their land.

Israelis have no right to decide for them. Territorial residents have sole authority. A previous article explained. Netanyahu called enactment essential, saying: "Any agreement, if it is achieved in negotiations, will be brought as a referendum." - "It is important that every citizen will directly vote on fateful decisions like these that determine the future of the state." Doing so effectively blocks land for peace. Netanyahu and other hardliners want all parts of Judea and Samaria Judaized. They want Jerusalem as Israel's exclusive capital. They want Palestinians denied all rights. ............ more by Stephen Lendman  http://www.indymedia.org/or/2013/08/965102.shtml
