B’Tselem is een belangrijke mensenrechtenorganisatie in Isra\u00ebl die zich vooral bezig houdt met de schendingen van mensenrechten in de bezette gebieden. Hun laatste rapport gaat over Gaza, die ze beschrijven als een grote gevangenis. Mensen die er in zitten komen er praktisch niet meer uit. Maar er worden inmiddels ook Palestijnen naar gedeporteerd. Wat de werkelijke bedoeling laat zien: om de Palestijnen in Gaza op te sluiten en te isoleren. Lees een samenvatting van het rapport hieronder, en ga naar de website voor meer. <\/p>\n

\nB\u2019Tselem and HaMoked: Center for the Defence of the Individual have published a new report, “One Big Prison”, which documents the ongoing human rights violations and breaches of international law inherent in Israel\u2019s restrictions on the movement of people and goods to and from the Gaza Strip. The report argues that even following disengagement, the government cannot avoid its responsibility for the Palestinians living in Gaza. <\/p>\n

Israel relates to many fundamental rights – such as the right to movement, family life, health, education, and work – as \u201chumanitarian gestures\u201d that it grants to Gazans, and denies them whenever it wishes. Separating Gaza from the rest of the world splits many Palestinian families, even spouses. It is easier for Palestinian residents of Israel or the West Bank to visit a relative in jail than it is to visit a relative living in the Gaza Strip. <\/p>\n

The report illustrates the sweeping criteria for imposing almost all the restrictions on freedom of movement, the failure of Israeli authorities to consider whether the individual indeed constitutes a security threat, and their failure to take into account the extent of the harm caused by the prohibition on movement, or whether less harmful means are available. In most cases when human rights organizations intervened, Israel withdrew the restriction rather than defend the problematic decision. <\/p>\n

Over the past four years, the economic condition of residents of Gaza has declined to unprecedented levels. Most Gazans, more than a million persons, live in poverty, and almost one-quarter of them do not even reach the survival line, even with the help of the international aid they receive. <\/p>\n

The report offers a legal analysis criticizing the government\u2019s claim that it will no longer be legally responsible for breach of the rights of residents of the Gaza Strip after disengagement. <\/p>\n
