Palestinian activists have today launched an online campaign to highlight the anti-Palestinian racism and discriminatory sentiment at the heart of Israel’s 37th Government, which was elected on 1 November last year but only took office at the end of December.<\/strong><\/p>\n

EuroPal Forum has organised the initiative \u2014 “Israeli Racism in Quotes: Israel’s 37th Government” \u2014 in order to document the depth of anti-Palestinian racism across what has been labelled by analysts as the most racist Israeli government since the establishment of the state in 1948.\u00a0MEMO<\/i>\u00a0columnist Motasem Dalloul has\u00a0said\u00a0that, “The extremism bar was already set very high before Benjamin Netanyahu cobbled together his new coalition.”<\/p>\n

According to the forum, the campaign will focus on statements from twenty-five individuals from the coalition government, with five statements being released per day for the next five days. The organisation told the media that it hopes that the statements will enable people to understand that the likely policies of the new administration, such as settlement expansion, enforced displacement and annexation, should not be viewed in isolation, but seen instead as the central modus operandi for Prime Minister Netanyahu and his coalition government.<\/p>\n

“The new Israeli government represents a clear and visible threat to the security of Palestinians living across historic Palestine and in the diaspora,” said the Chairman of EuroPal Forum, Zaher Birawi. “It is hoped that this campaign and other campaigns highlighting the nature of this new government will put pressure on decision makers to disengage from Israeli officials who support racist views and who seek to promote and uphold\u00a0apartheid<\/a>\u00a0policies.”<\/p>\n

\u201cWe retaliate by deleting a neighborhood in Gaza,\u201d says MK Danny Dankn.
\nIt’s worth mentioning that the international law guarantees Palestinians right to resist the occupation.<\/p>\n
