[Marxism] "We Fought Apartheid; We See No Reason to Celebrate It in Israel Now!"

[Dbachmozart@xxxxxxx]

We, South Africans who faced the might of unjust and brutal apartheid  
machinery in South Africa and fought against it with all our strength, with the 
 
objective to live in a just, democratic society, refuse today to celebrate the  
existence of an Apartheid state in the Middle East. While Israel and its  
apologists around the world will, with pomp and ceremony, loudly proclaim the  
60th 
anniversary of the establishment of the state of Israel this month, we who  
have lived with and struggled against oppression and colonialism will, instead, 
 remember 6 decades of catastrophe for the Palestinian people. 60 years ago,  
750,000 Palestinians were brutally expelled from their homeland, suffering  
persecution, massacres, and torture. They and their descendants remain 
refugees.  This is no reason to celebrate.
