Israel has launched large-scale military assaults across the illegally occupied West Bank
Posted: 2nd September 2024
In the last 3 days, Israel has launched large-scale military assaults across the illegally occupied West Bank, which includes East Jerusalem, its most violent since 2002. The main target is Palestinian refugee camps, particularly in the northern cities of Jenin, Tulkarm and Tubas.
Israel’s occupation forces have killed at least 20 Palestinians since the massive military assault began in the early hours of Wednesday morning. Repeating on a smaller scale some of the most ruthless tactics employed in its genocide against 2.3 million Palestinians in the occupied and besieged Gaza Strip, Israel has blockaded all hospitals in Jenin and Tulkarm.
In May, the UN warned that “Israeli forces [are] bringing war to the West Bank.” On Wednesday, Israel Katz, Foreign Minister in Israel’s genocidal government, called for a Gaza-esque war in the West Bank and for Israel to issue evacuation orders for Palestinians, aka genocidal ethnic cleansing.Share our urgent action alert now!The BDS movement calls for maximizing grassroots and civil society pressure on all states, the United Nations, and regional bodies:
- Impose a comprehensive military embargo on Israel, including the export, import and transfer of weapons, military equipment, and dual use items, as well as military training, joint research, investments, etc.).
- Impose lawful targeted sanctions against Israel including diplomatic, economic, financial, academic, cultural, and sports.
- End all other forms of complicity in Israel’s illegal military occupation, its system of apartheid, and its ever more brutal Gaza genocide.
- Re-activate the UN Special Committee against Apartheid to help dismantle Israel’s regime of apartheid and hold those responsible accountable.
- Suspend Israel from the UN, just as was done with apartheid South Africa.
- Suspend Israel from the Olympics, FIFA, and all such international and regional fora.
