Eligibility of an Israeli passport throughout the Middle East

[sarroora]

The fact that 370,000 Israeli citizens fled Israel to go back to their countries alone should be enough to explain to even the staunchest denier that Israel is an OCCUPATION.

I would expect something like this from the US or Germany. Kinda surprised that Canada would pull this. Are people going to start burning old maps, books and almanacs? Israel has already done a great deal to destroy official Palestinian records. This is Canada's complicity in literally erasing an entire land and its people.

nobody who has responded to my post is anyone who I am talking about. But it is good to remind people to be aware of the language and rhetoric being used.

Apparently most people don't like it when you express your discomfort at having been taken to Israel against your will as a child and basically forced to see violent colonialism in person and then have the tour guide go "hehe isn't that cool :)" meanwhile ur a teenager with an anxiety disorder that has already been put on an Israeli watch list because you think making a violent ethnostate is not the appropriate response to the holocaust or even thousands of years of oppression.

bisan's live video on her 2nd acc is piercing my heart

she started off expressing (in arabic) how sick she is of the constant sharing, photographing, capturing, having to speak english and how she wants to speak in her native tongue instead.

she explained that the leaflets that were dropped again are ordering evacuation to rafah so they are forced into the sinai, and how impossible it is for over 2 million people to go to an area that's only 151 square km, so many have no choice but to stay in khan younis. they are trapped and have no international passports. rafah is the southernmost point of palestine after khan younis and she said - this part in english - "after rafah there is no more palestine. if we are forced into rafah there is no more palestine."

someone asked her if she has eaten and whether they have any food, her response was no, not at all; one loaf of bread has to be divided between everyone in her tent.

the video kept freezing because of how bad the internet service is in gaza right now so i lost bits and pieces, but at some point an older woman joined the live, a journalist outside of the country. it's unclear whether they knew each other previously, but a lot of warmth was exchanged. the woman got tears out of bisan when she told her "dont listen to people who tell you to be strong, i don't want you to be strong, i want you to be you. if you are sad i want to know, if you are happy i want to know." she explained that she tried entering rafah but the occupation refuses to let any foreign journalists in anymore.

after the woman left, bisan talked about her life before october. she said her life was beautiful and fruitful and any source of strife was solely on israeli hands; namely her inability to travel or pursue placements for her education outside of palestine. other than that she had nothing to complain about. if im able to watch the video after it ends, i will add any pieces i missed

Police in the Turkish city of Adana detained 11 suspects, five Israeli and two Syrian, on allegations of organ trafficking, the Daily Sabah reported on 5 May. The Provincial Directorate of Security's Anti-Smuggling and Border Gates Branch began investigating after examining the passports of seven individuals who arrived in Adana from Israel about a month ago by plane for the purpose of health tourism. The two Syrian nationals, ages 20 and 21, were found to have fake passports. Further investigation revealed that Syrian nationals had each agreed to sell one of their own kidneys to two of the Israeli nationals, ages 68 and 28, for kidney transplants in Adana. During searches at the suspects' residences, $65,000 and numerous fake passports were seized. Israel has long been at the center of what Bloomberg described in 2011 as a “sprawling global black market in organs where brokers use deception, violence, and coercion to buy kidneys from impoverished people, mainly in underdeveloped countries, and then sell them to critically ill patients in more-affluent nations.” The financial newspaper added, “Many of the black-market kidneys harvested by these gangs are destined for people who live in Israel.” The organ-trafficking network extends from former Soviet Republics such as Azerbaijan, Belarus, Ukraine, and Moldova to Brazil, the Philippines, South Africa, and beyond, the Bloomberg investigation showed. Accusations of Israeli involvement in organ trafficking also apply to the occupied Palestinian territories. In 2009, Sweden's largest daily newspaper, Aftonbladet, reported testimony that the Israeli army was kidnapping and murdering Palestinians to harvest their organs. The report quotes Palestinian claims that young men from the occupied West Bank and Gaza Strip had been seized by the Israeli army, and their bodies returned to the families with missing organs. "'Our sons are used as involuntary organ donors,' relatives of Khaled from Nablus said to me, as did the mother of Raed from Jenin as well as the uncles of Machmod and Nafes from Gaza, who all had disappeared for a few days and returned by night, dead and autopsied," wrote Donald Bostrom, the author of the report.Bostrom also cites an incident of alleged organ theft during the the first Palestinian intifada in 1992. He says that the Israeli army abducted a young man known for throwing stones at Israeli troops in the Nablus area. The young man was shot in the chest, both legs, and the stomach before being taken to a military helicopter, which transported him to an unknown location. Five nights later, Bostrom said, the young man's body was returned, wrapped in green hospital sheets. Israel’s Channel 2 TV reported that in the 1990s, specialists at Abu Kabir Forensic Medicine Institute harvested skin, corneas, heart valves, and bones from the bodies of Israeli soldiers, Israeli citizens, Palestinians, and foreign workers without permission from relatives. The Israeli military confirmed that the practice took place, but claimed, "This activity ended a decade ago and does not happen any longer." Israel’s assault on Gaza since 7 October has provided further opportunities for the theft and harvesting of Palestinians’ organs. On 30 January, WAFA news agency reported that the Israeli army returned the bodies of 100 Palestinian civilians it had stolen from hospitals and cemeteries in various areas in Gaza. According to medical sources, inspection of some of the bodies showed that organs were missing from some of them. On 18 January, the Times of Israel reported that the Israeli army confirmed reports that its soldiers dug up graves in a Gaza cemetery, claiming its soldiers were trying to “confirm that the bodies of hostages were not buried there.”

Israeli settlers casually fleeing back to the US or Europe or wherever they want to go really thanks to passport privilege while Palestinians are literally trapped in a giant cage waiting for the Israeli military to bomb the shit out of them highlights another power asymmetry of the Palestinian occupation: the freedom of movement, or lack thereof. Palestinians are not free to move across their own land. Everything is controlled through the most elaborate and heavily militarized borders, security checkpoints, military blockades, minefields, etc. in the world. Even if those didn't exist you can bet a Palestinian wouldn't be able to just get on a plane and go wherever they please without so much as a visa (not to mention the likely thousands of Palestinians who have been put on no fly lists due to be pure racism). When conflict breaks out they simply have nowhere to go. An Israeli can hop on a jet and fuck off back to Long Island or wherever until it simmers down.

always crazy to me how i could make aliyah right now and have a bunch of different organizations help me move to israel basically for free despite having not a single relative there or having ever been there before or having any family history remotely connected to israel for the past two thousand years. but my palestinian friends whos families were exiled cant return, cant or would have difficulty even trying to visit their remaining relatives right now, and would probably get harassed or killed by settlers if they tried to visit the towns their families used to live in that are now mostly populated by israelis. even with american passports palestinians trying to visit israel or palestine report this

and not only does israel do everything to encourage jews to move to there with ease, with the support of american and european governments, these same european countries that actually RECENTLY exiled us will make us go through hoops to try to return and gain citizenship in the places our ancestors are directly from

Sunday 30th October

My baby has his Israeli passport! He now has official documentation to prove his Israeli citizenship. Here in Israel every citizen gets a national id number at birth which he was already given after we proved he was my husband's son.

Yes that's right we had to prove that he was our son! Due to the fact that I'm not Jewish and in Judaism only the mother passes down religion to her children, even if my baby was born here in Israel he or she would not automatically get citizenship. This also despite the fact that my husband is Jewish and Israeli. The process is complicated and involved and requires a number of bureaucratic steps.

In our case we had to submit an application to the immigration office in Israel who then stipulated that our case be referred to the Israeli court. Although we had our baby's birth certificate from the UK which listed both my details and my husband's details we were required to take DNA tests to prove that our son is genetically ours. All three of us were required to produce samples which was a stressful experience honestly as trying to get blood from a baby is not easy! Not to mention this all took months to complete.

Once the DNA samples came back positive then we had to return to the immigration office to complete the process and register our son. Then we were able to finally apply for his passport and he got his id number. He will never be Jewish unless he chooses to convert when he is older.

If we have more children even though we are now living here in Israel I believe that the process is the same until you are able to prove that you have been living together for over 6 months. Anyhow l know that we will still have to apply for citizenship and that it won't be granted automatically due to me not being Jewish. I suppose it's quite eye-opening the way the system works here, or at least for me with my naivety. Perhaps just one example of the inevitable difficulties and frustrations of being a mixed-religious couple in a predominantly Jewish state.

Anyway a happy outcome as our son now has both his British and Israeli citizenships! And extra happy being that it took us 10 months to achieve!

US Americans have got to stop the "go back to New York" "settlers = Brooklyn landlords" thing. Are there American Jewish settlers in Palestine? Absolutely. Are there Israeli Jews in the U.S. who are still reservists? Absolutely.

The problem is that they are a small minority of settlers and Israelis. There are about 30,000 Israelis in the entire state of New York, including Palestinians with Israeli citizenship. [x] There are 1,600,000 Jews just in New York City. [x]

500,000 Israelis have U.S. passports, including Palestinian citizens of Israel. [x] There are 9,174,520 Israelis, again including Palestinians with citizenship. [x]

Saying this does not diminish what's happening in Palestine or the absolute U.S. government support for colonialism and genocide. Settlers do not need to be American or have direct ties to the U.S. to be settlers. Settlers do not need to be American for their colony to be a proxy state for imperial interests, as has also been seen in, say, South Africa.

When you do this shit you're also erasing millions of Arab, Persian, Amazigh, Kurdish, Ethiopian, Indian, Bukharan, and other Jews from outside of Europe who have largely ended up in Palestine as settlers due to colonial and imperial destabilisation of Asia and Africa and a racist "Western" agenda to keep African and Asian refugees of all religious backgrounds outside of "Western" countries as much as possible.

You're also erasing how much xenophobic anti-migrant policies contributed to "Allied" countries after WWII using Palestine as a means of removing Holocaust surviving refugees from mainland Europe without also themselves taking large numbers of refugees into their own countries.

Palestine has been at the centre of displacement of Jews from around the world through a process of ongoing genocide of Palestinian people. This is backed by "Western" not only to create or maintain white Christian hegemonic authority in their own countries, but also as part of a Cold War agenda to destabilise Asia and Africa and eliminate anti-imperial and communist movements.

Israel is a genocidal, fascist country propped up by the US, the UK, and other "Western" imperial powers while its settlers are largely from continental Europe, Asia, and Africa.
