Occupation is unilateral
[...]
While numerous historical injustices along with an understanding of power relations should have taught the international community otherwise, Israel continues to gain support for its policies and actions. But in Palestine there are few questions as to what lies ahead since reality on the ground demonstrates that the future is already here as wall-enclosed ghettos concretise and close in on Palestinian lives. Reality, far from shifting, is moving in one unambiguous direction: continued occupation aimed at the total demise of the Palestinian cause.
It is part of Israel's quest to drown out the link between Israeli political slogans and its crimes, and thus maintain the horrid reality forced upon the Palestinian people through targeted killings and assassinations, aerial attacks, incursions, arrests, confiscations, demolitions, destruction, closures, forced impoverishment and humiliation that persist on a daily basis. Hordes of Israeli tanks invading West Bank cities -- Nablus, Jenin, Hebron, Qalqiliya, Jericho, Tulkarem and Bethlehem -- arresting tens of Palestinians and reeking havoc are unending. The chokehold on the already sealed Gaza Strip is accompanied by an onslaught of Israeli missile and mortar attacks numbering in the hundreds each day, the occupation confirming repeatedly the way in which it plans to "deal with" Palestinians.
