‘THERE is an apartheid state here [in Israel and the Occupied Territories]. In a territory where two people are judged under two legal systems, that is an apartheid state.”
Israel’s apartheid system lies in the very origins of the state, which was founded on the violent ethnic cleansing of 700,000 Palestinian Arabs by Zionist militias, such as the Haganah and the Irgun, during the Nakba of 1947-8. Subsequent to that came the illegal expansion of Israel into the West Bank, Gaza and East Jerusalem during the Six-Day War of 1967.
Ben-Gvir infamously idolises the fascist mass murderer Baruch Goldstein , who carried out the horrendous 1994 Hebron Massacre of Palestinian Muslims at prayer. As Israeli dissident theatre-maker, and former conscript in the Israeli army, Itai Erdal told me recently: “They wouldn’t let Ben-Gvir be a soldier because he was too much of an extremist. Now he is the Minister of National Security in charge of the police.
It is against this backdrop that we need to understand Pardo’s comments. As a former head of Mossad, Pardo has operated at the very highest level of the Israeli state.
