New Zionist Conspiracy

The Zionist crimes in the occupied lands have reached such a level that the Israeli president, Moshe Katsav, has asked Sharon's cabinet to build a security fence between the territories occupied in 1948 and those occupied in 1967, He believes he can establish security by doing this.

In an interview with Zionist regime radio on January 28, he said that security necessitates integrating the Palestinian agricultural lands located between the Zionist towns in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip into the occupied territories.

His proposals are a clear violation of the 1993 Oslo treaty reached between Israel and the Palestinian Authority. Sharon has repeatedly said that the Oslo treaty is invalid, and that its approval by the Zionist regime was a great mistake!

In fact, there are factions and individuals inside the Zionist regime who want to increase pressure on Palestinians, reoccupy their towns and villages and renege on the Oslo treaty.

Meanwhile, the Zionist radical party Shas has threatened to leave Sharon's coalition government, demanding that Palestinians be barred from entering the lands occupied in 1967.

Due to the restrictions being intensified in the occupied lands, the Palestinian economy is a in shambles, and even medicine is being withheld from the Palestinians. Also with the continuing bombardment of the Palestinian-ruled towns and villages, there is no peace and security for the people in these areas.

Under such circumstances, the Zionist regime's president has proposed building a defensive fence to protect the Zionists! But even if the Oslo treaty is destroyed, Tel Aviv can not ignore the two UN Security Council resolutions 242 and 338, issued in 1967 and 1973 respectively. These resolutions clearly state that the West Bank and the Gaza Strip are occupied lands, and that the Zionist forces should leave those territories unconditionally.

The Palestinians have now realized that the Zionist regime has no intention of pulling out of the occupied territories, and that the Oslo accord was only aimed at deceiving the Palestinians. This is why they have decided to restore their violated rights through their legitimate resistance and struggle against occupiers of their homeland.
