Israel seeks to drive out Palestinians: Analyst
Press TV has conducted an interview with Richard Becker, member of the ANSWER Coalition in San Francisco, and Alon Ben-Meir, senior fellow at New York University's Center for Global Affairs in New York, to discuss the rising tensions between Israeli regime forces and Palestinians.
Becker states Tel Aviv’s real objective is to drive out the Palestinian population and "to make way for the entire West Bank to be effectively annexed to Israel from the occupied territories."
He also maintains that the Israeli regime has been perpetrating a kind of anti-Arab racism in an attempt “to justify in the minds of Israeli populist all the kinds of oppression, theft and brutality that is practiced against the Palestinians on a daily basis.”
The analyst further notes that the ongoing oppression of the Palestinian people at the hands of the Israeli occupation forces has created “tremendous anger and frustration”.
He goes on to say that “under these circumstances, no one should be surprised that there are both organized and spontaneous acts of resistance that are taking place against this terrible apartheid-like policy” of the Israeli regime.
Elsewhere in his remarks, Becker argues the Israeli regime has no intention of making an agreement with the Palestinians, adding that it has been practising a policy of duplicity and deception with regards to the negotiations on a two-state solution.
“There was never an intention for the Palestinians to obtain a state. It is not a matter of lack of commitment on both sides. It is a matter of colonial oppression, of a colonial policy that is intended to end all rights of the oppressed Palestinian people,” he says.
Ben-Meir, for his part, believes there is a lack of real commitment to reach an agreement from the Israelis and the Palestinians and if there were such a commitment, compromises would have been made by both sides.
