Stephen Hawking has done the right thing, others should follow him and it should have been done decades ago en masse to end the occupation.

Israel has become an Apartheid state which on a daily basis takes more Palestinian land and destroys Palestinian property in an effort to force people leave.

And it's just not the occupied territories, Israel is planning to forcibly remove 30 000 - 40 000 Bedouin, Israeli citizens, from Negev.

Israel is a nasty, oppressive regime hiding behind it's self-declared Jewish identity and people must stop excusing it's crimes just because its "a Jewish state".
