“When Israel
locks its gates and expels refugees, it ends its mission as a Jewish state. The
light unto the nations has been extinguished, and where is the light unto the
Jews? From now on, Israel
is just another country, with the same unacceptable and selfish considerations.”
(Haaretz, 6 July 2007). With these words, Yossi Sarid laments the
decision of the State of Israel not to provide asylum for the refugees from
Darfur, and even to deport those who succeeded in entering into Israel.

The old dream of Ariel Sharon is
becoming a reality: Palestinians are killing Palestinians, and Israel is
counting the number of victims with great satisfaction. The tears of Israeli
leaders are crocodile tears, and their claims that they are sorry for the
tragic developments in Gaza
are mere hypocrisy. The bloody confrontations were predictable, and the
Israeli-US responsibility and active involvement are crystal clear.

Yesterday, I was asked
by an Italian journalist why the Alternative
Information Center
(AIC) is not participating in the Florence
conference entitled “Peace NGO Conference.” I gave her two answers: first,
because the AIC was not invited, which is not surprising, and second, because
even if we would have been invited, we would have declined the invitation. There
are two major reasons to oppose, or better—to ignore, the Florence initiative. The first one is related
to its platform, the second reason to its very nature.

Commemorating the 40th anniversary
of the 1967 war and four full decades of occupation of the West Bank, the Gaza Strip
and the Golan Heights was a difficult challenge if one takes into consideration
the present high level of de-politicization in Israel, as well as in the occupied Palestinian
territories. Moreover, what we are expressing in our demonstrations is our own
failure, the failure to end this occupation and put a stop to the process of
colonization of the de jure as well as de facto annexed
territories.

When the borders of the law are moving backward and delegitimizing political
opinions and acts, should we respect that law? Asking the question is in fact
already answering it. A regime which delegitimizes political opinions or acts, which,
in the past have been legitimate, loses, at least partially, its democratic nature, therefore obliging the citizen to
rebel and to defy the undemocratic law.
