“No to Apartheid” – Israeli Left Protest in Tel Aviv Against Trump’s Peace Plan


Israelis on the left side of the political spectrum demonstrated in Tel Aviv’s Dizengoff Square on Motzei Shabbos against the “Deal of the Century,” in a march and rally organized by the Peace Now organization.

Decrying the peace plan for allowing Israel to unilaterally annex the Jordan Valley and settlements in Judea and Samaria, the protestors chanted “Peace plan, not annexation deal” and “Annexation is a disaster, no peace, no security.”

The protestors bore signs stating “no to apartheid” and “no to transfer” – the inclusion of several Arab-Israeli towns in a potential Palestinian state.

“This isn’t a peace plan, it’s not even a plan,” said MK Tamar Zandberg (Meretz). It’s a proposal for annexation, transfer and a recipe for violence and apartheid.”

Meanwhile, Palestinian Authority Mahmoud Abbas announced on Saturday that he is cutting all ties with Israel and the US due to his opposition to the “Deal of the Century, including security coordination with Israel.

“We have informed the Israelis and Americans of this decision through two letters,” Abbas said in a speech in Cairo at an Arab League meeting.

“I will never accept this solution,” Abbas said. “I will not have it recorded in my history that I have sold Jerusalem.”

The Arab League issued a statement denouncing Trump’s peace plan as “unfair to the Palestinians.”

    Anti- Jewish Diatribe A year earlier, during a debate on the Arab refugee question, Shukairy’s obsessive hatredwas etched in sharp relief by statements he made about one of the U.N.’s most distinguished delegates, Professor Enrique Rodriguez-Fabregat. chief of the Uruguavan delegation. In the course of a diatribe charging that Jews were expected to look upon Israelas their real government — the old dual loyalty canard used by anti-Semitic propagandists — Shukairy wondered aloud whether Professor Fabregat who, Shukairy said was of the Jewish faith, also considered himself to be a Jew “in exile”.
    That Dr. Fabregat was a member of an old Catholic family and a practicing Catholic made no difference to Shukairy. Dr. Fabregat — in sorrow, but without anger — commented that the thoughts expressed by Shukairy were “more fitting to past ages”.
    Undaunted, Shukairy went on to declare that there was no real anti-Semitism in the world and that anti-Semitism was a propaganda device, a “tool” serving the interests of Zionists who had, he charged , created…
