“Therefore I, a 95 year old Sabra (native born Israeli Jew), who has
plowed its fields, planted trees, built a house and fathered sons,
grandsons and great-grandsons, and also shed his blood in the battle
for the founding of the State of Israel..Declare herewith that I
renounce my belief in the Zionism which has failed, that I shall not
be loyal to the Jewish fascist state and its mad visions, that I shall
not sing anymore its nationalist anthem, that I shall stand at
attention only on the days of mourning for those fallen on both sides
in the wars, and that I look with a broken heart at an Israel that is
committing suicide..thus, for 42 years, Israel turned what should have
been Palestine into a giant detention camp, and is holding a whole
people captive under an oppressive and cruel regime, with the sole aim
of taking away their country..The IDF eagerly suppresses their efforts
at rebellion, with the active assistance of the settlement thugs, by
the brutal means of a sophisticated Apartheid and a choking blockade,
inhuman harassment of the sick and of women in labor, the destruction
of their economy and the theft of their best land and water.”
