Occupied Jerusalem - The Israeli apartheid regime has arrested a former US Marine and initiator of the Human Shield Action to Iraq named Ken OâKeefe, accusing him âof endangering Israeli security.â
Oâkeefe reportedly was arrested Thursday while attempting to enter the Gaza Strip.
Oâkeefe said he was going to discuss with the people and leaders of Gaza a plan to bring 10,000 western citizens who would act as international observers in the occupied West Bank and Gaza Strip.
OâKeefe was detained with another peace activist, named Ian Hodgson, as they walked along the beach into Palestinian towns from an area seized by Jewish settlers at the northern Gaza Strip.
âI desperately wanted to discuss this idea with people in Gaza, and would not simply accept Israelâs refusal to admit me entry. Our goal is to save life on both sides of the conflict, and uphold international law by ending Israelâs illegal and immoral occupation, which is the root cause of Palestinian violence,â said OâKeefe.
He described Israeli repression of Palestinian civilians as âstate terrorism.â
âIsraelâs state terrorism is fueling the conflict. Israel must stop its assassinations, incursions, house demolitions and building of the wall, and fully withdraw its illegal settlements and military from the occupied territories until there can be any movement toward a peaceful resolution of this conflict.â
He further urged Israel to respect the human rights of the Palestinian people.
Oâkeefeâs remarks reportedly angered the Israeli security authorities, prompting one police official to threaten to deport the American activist to London..
The Israeli occupation regime effectively imprisons over a million Palestinians in Gaza and only allow some journalists and representatives of western-supported NGOs to travel outside the 300-square kilometerâs strip.
