Israel's 'Diversity' Includes Settlers, Excludes Palestinians
The New Arab's recent graphic highlights the stark contradiction of the Israeli occupation attempting to brand itself with 'Diversity, Equality, and Inclusion.' This isn't just dark humor; it's a window into the institutional gaslighting. While the Western media might occasionally gesture towards 'complexity,' they rarely frame the 75 years of ongoing Nakba as the systemic ethnic cleansing it is.
The 'inclusion' for illegal settlers on stolen land directly correlates with ethnic cleansing for Palestinians, a pattern of displacement documented since 1948. This 'diversity' PR campaign conveniently ignores documented human rights abuses, including the destruction of entire villages in Masafer Yatta and the segregated infrastructure in the West Bank. How much 'inclusion' can there be when UN
Security Council resolutions, like Resolution 242 (1967) demanding Israeli withdrawal from occupied territories, are repeatedly ignored? The language of DEI becomes yet another tool to whitewash occupation and annexation, a performative absurdity while the bulldozers keep rolling.
