The official Website for the Islamic resistance, english.moqawama.org, collected news items over the past month, which are the latest examples on a long history of why Zionism equals Racism...

Even helpless children who do not form a threat to the "Israelis" are targeted with racism and violation of rights in the Palestinian occupied territories. 

 
In a story from the Electronic Intifada, an Arab couple whose one-year-old daughter was expelled from an "Israeli" day-care center on her first day are suing a Jewish mother for damages, accusing her of racist incitement against their child.

Maysa and Shuaa Zuabi, from the village of Sulam, launched the court action at the beginning of August, saying they had been "shocked and humiliated" when the center's owner told them that six Jewish parents had demanded their daughter's removal because she is an Arab.

Instances of Arab children being denied places at Jewish kindergartens and junior schools have become more common in recent years, especially in the country's handful of mixed cities.
Since its founding in 1948, "Israel" has operated an education system almost entirely segregated between Jews and Arabs.


However, chronic underfunding of Arab schools means that in recent years a small but growing number of Arab parents have sought to move their children into the Jewish system.
Kadshai, in particular, is said to have waged a campaign of "slurs and efforts aimed at having [Dana] removed from the day-care center, making it clear that [her] children would not be in the same center as an Arab girl." Zuabi was summoned to a meeting the same evening at which Grinwald said she could not afford to lose the six children. She returned the contract Zuabi had signed and repaid her advance fees.

Not only is the racism of "Israelis" towards Palestinians, but also towards those who differ in skin color, language, religion, history or other, while concurrently calling for fighting their so called "anti-Semitism". 


Yedioth Ahronoth posted an article about a Woman recounting her humiliating experience in which bus driver told her, "Kushit, in Ethiopia you didn't even have shoes and here you do, so why don't you walk?"


A 23-year-old woman of Ethiopian descent claimed that the driver of an Egged No. 5 bus in Rishon Lezion refused to allow her to board his bus because of the color of her skin.
Speaking to Ynet, Yedno Verka recounted last Wednesday's incident: "As I prepared board the bus, the driver suddenly shut the door. I banged on the glass, but he ignored me. Then a young woman came running towards the bus, and he opened the door for her. I stayed close to her and boarded the bus. 


"When the driver saw me he said, 'what, don't you understand that I don't allow Kushim (derogatory term for black people) on board? Are you trying to smash my door in? Were there buses in Ethiopia? Why don't you walk? I was shaking all over; I couldn't even speak," she said.
At this point Verka handed the driver the bus fair, but, according to her, he refused to accept it and said, "Kushit hold on, what's your hurry? You Ethiopians have become arrogant."


Again on Ethiopian citizens in the occupied lands, Haaretz newspaper says that at least 100 students of Ethiopian origin in Petah Tikva do not know what school they will be attending in the fall, with the opening of the school year just two and a half weeks away. The uncertainty stems from the fact that the city's private schools with an ultra-Orthodox or national Orthodox bent have refused to accept children of Ethiopian origin.


Moreover, Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper said as well that a trip for some 250 children from Al Jish village, near Safad north of the country, had to be cut short after the manager of a Jewish-run swimming pool refused to allow the organizers of the Jish Church Summer camp, play Arabic music. 


Israeli Ynet News published a report on the incident and stated that Jad Salman, the director of the Jish Church Summer Camp, stated that the pool manager was insulting and racist in his statement.
Yet, Israeli swimming pools around the country always play Hebrew music in addition to playing music in English and sometimes in other languages depending on the nationality of the visitors. But when it comes to Arabic, it becomes the place's policy to stop it.

The Institute For Middle East Understanding said in a report that UNRWA's Hebrew-language outreach program titled "Building Understanding: Epitaph of a Dead Warehouse," was cancelled by Acre festival authorities in the last days before the UN organization was to present photos and films of their work in Palestine.

The agency had prepared a multimedia theatrical performance that documented the "dramatic last day of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency's warehouse in Gaza which was destroyed during the fighting in Gaza on 15th of January 2009," a program for the evening read.
The festival also booted UNRWA's photo exhibit and another film from the program.


Ynet news says too Israel's national water company announced Tuesday that it would be disconnecting the water in the Bedouin community of Rahat due to an accumulated debt of about $400,000 owed by the town's municipality. 


The 46,281 residents of the town, located in Israel's desert region, will remain without water for a few hours a day until the municipality settles its debts with Mekorot.
Heads of the Bedouin councils held a meeting with Shlomo Buchbut, chairman of the Union of Local Authorities, in order to discuss their financial difficulties.
Rahat Mayor Faiz Abu-Sabihan said a plan had been formed in order to pull the municipality from its deficit, which currently stands at around $7.8 million. However he said the plan had not yet been approved.


"Our accounts have been seized," the mayor told Ynet. "And the employees are not being paid. We've been chosen to provide a service I cannot provide." He said the municipality would strike until the plan was approved.
Now from the Haaretz: The forum's coordinator, Dr. Awad Abu-Freih, demanded that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu appoint Arab representatives to the committee.
According to the government's Civil Service Commission, the number of Israeli Arabs employed by the government does not exceed 6.8 percent of the employees. Last week, the cabinet decided to establish a committee to promote proper representation of Arabs in government offices.


The members of the Bedouin education forum were dismayed to find that the 11-member committee did not include a single Arab member. The committee includes Civil Service Commissioner Shmuel Hollander, Prime Minister's Office Director Eyal Gabbai and Welfare Ministry Director Nahum Itzkovitch.


"There is no doubt that in the absence of Arab citizens on the committee, the commission may continue to give unfair preference to Jews in appointments, in promotions, and in handing out key positions," Abu-Freih said in his complaint to the prime minister.
"The promises on fair representation still sound hollow and empty," he went on to say. "Again and again we will be told that ‘no qualified Arabs could be found for the job.'"
"The services offered to Arab citizens will also continue to be discriminatory," he continued. "For example, the education services offered to the Arab community in the Negev are neglected and deprived."


"Out of 20 percent of the population of the state, not one Arab could be found who would be qualified to be honored with serving on the committee?" Abu-Freih asked.
From the same newspaper, an article said last week that a new study shows that the Education Ministry's budget for special assistance to students from low socioeconomic backgrounds severely discriminates against Arabs. The average per-student allocation in Arab junior high schools amounts to only 20 percent of the average in Jewish junior highs.


Yes, the Zionist entity does all that, this is its "normal". Of course "Israel" according to US proclamations is a "democracy", but to believe so is to miss the normal atrocities that occur in the occupied land daily, the millions who are under curfew and blockade, starving and brutalized, in the Middle East's only colonized state. To believe so is to feign the reality of Zionism, a racist and irredeemable movement.


A few stories in this article represent years and years of racism (of course that is only one type of violation of rights and ethics as "Israel" slaughters people, destructs homes, steals lands, illegally builds settlements, etc...) against all those who are not "Zionists", and that takes place as "Israel" itself calls for rights and for the battle against "anti-Semitism" worldwide, in the middle of international silence...
