When pointedly asked by a journalist, \u201cYou took their land and built a wall, and when they try to get it back, you call them terrorists?\u201d, the settler responded directly: \u201cYou nailed it&#8230; It\u2019s almost like an apartheid state, this is not our land and we shouldn\u2019t have settled here.\u201d<br \/>\nThis extraordinary acknowledgment cuts straight through decades of official state rhetoric used to justify the expanding settlement enterprise. Under international law, including the Rome Statute and findings by the International Court of Justice, the systemic seizure of Palestinian land, the construction of separation barriers, and the establishment of segregated outposts are recognized as a structural system of apartheid. When those living within the system itself can no longer deny its true nature, the moral and legal defense of the occupation completely falls apart.<\/p>\n<p> It is our responsibility to break the silence on these systemic violations.<\/p>\n<p> Does a direct admission like this change how you feel about what Israel is doing in Gaza and the West Bank?<br \/>\n Share your thoughts below. <\/p>\n<p>#ApartheidState #WestBank #IllegalSettlements #HumanRights #InternationalLaw #viral #highlights #democracy #viralpost #reels #everyonehighlights #news\t<\/p>\n<p>English Script:<br \/>\nIsraeli settler: Gaza is not of Palestine. It&#8217;s our land. <\/p>\n<p>Interviewer: Why Gaza? <\/p>\n<p>Israeli settler: I am religious and I believe in the Bible. I need to take these pieces. I have to live there. Why? Because it&#8217;s mine.

That it&#8217;s bad for the people there because they&#8217;re bombed and killed?<\/p>\n<p>Israeli settler: They can take their legs and go out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>View this post on Instagram A post shared by Daizy Gedeon (@daizygedeon) An Israeli settler in a stunningly candid admission of systemic segregation: In a rare and deeply revealing interview&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":23385,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[37,19,35,33],"tags":[],"powerkit_post_featured":[],"class_list":["post-23378","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-israel-hamas-war-live-updates","category-daizy-gedeon","category-israel-hamas-war","category-middle-east-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/daizygedeon.com\/news-blogs-and-cultures\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23378","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/daizygedeon.com\/news-blogs-and-cultures\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/daizygedeon.com\/news-blogs-and-cultures\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/daizygedeon.com\/news-blogs-and-cultures\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/daizygedeon.com\/news-blogs-and-cultures\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=23378"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/daizygedeon.com\/news-blogs-and-cultures\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23378\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":23429,"href":"https:\/\/daizygedeon.com\/news-blogs-and-cultures\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23378\/revisions\/23429"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/daizygedeon.com\/news-blogs-and-cultures\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/23385"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/daizygedeon.com\/news-blogs-and-cultures\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=23378"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/daizygedeon.com\/news-blogs-and-cultures\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=23378"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/daizygedeon.com\/news-blogs-and-cultures\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=23378"},{"taxonomy":"powerkit_post_featured","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/daizygedeon.com\/news-blogs-and-cultures\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/powerkit_post_featured?post=23378"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
