Call for sanctions and boycott of israel:
Call for an immediate and universal international condemnation against The state of israel as a practicing apartheid regime, employing terrorist measures against the people(s) of Palestine in contravention to the calls and resolutions of the governing bodies of the united nations, supported in full by every nation and their people(s), represented by and through their leadership, with the singular exception of the aberrant United States of America.
All measures must be employed to ensure the protection of the Palestinian people
All measures must be employed to ensure the immediate recognition of and the raising of the flag of the independent, autonomous and liberated nation of Palestine
All measures must be employed to bring the voice(s) and actions of the United States in line with all treaties, conventions and pacts expected of all nations and regimes and demanded by the greater community of International nations and their leaders through the instruments of the United Nations.
All measures must be brought to bear against the government of Israel which without denial is bent on the continued destruction of the foundations which would allow for the creation of the nation of Palestine, The continued decimation of the Palestinian people, the continued racist and apartheid policies of the Israeli government against the Palestinian People: to wit to gain disproportionate control of Palestinian territory, to destroy all vestiges of hope and salvation of the Palestinian people and actions designed to create untold levels of despair and human catastrophe in the guise of security and self defense.
All measures must be employed and immediately - without fail, trepidation, Or hesitation to place an international peacekeeping/observance force in the region to monitor, assess and intervene towards separation of the parties and a demanded return to the peace table.
Sanctions against Israel must be called immediately. It is incumbent upon The United Nations and the international community to immediately place upon the state of Israel an international boycott of all Israeli goods and services, for complete sanctions and isolation of Israel and for international condemnation of the policies and practices of the Israeli government until that point upon which Israel ceases all hostilities against the Palestinian people and abides fully with all called for United Nations/security council resolutions.
It is to be expected and demanded that every nation and their respective Leaders must comply with all measures expected of all other nations: Including the United States and Israel. Failure of the United States to support these calls and in exercise of its veto within the security Council in support of the violations by the Israeli government should extend the sanctions and boycott to include the united states.
Respectfully -
Patrick Johnston
