ISRAEL/PALESTINE/UNLAWFUL ISRAELI AIRSTRIKES KILL CIVILIANS

 

Bombings of Civilian Structures Suggest Illegal Policy
JULY 16, 2014

  • An Israeli airstrike on this apartment building in Gaza on July 9, 2014, killed Amal Abed Ghafour, 30, and her year-old daughter, who were in their home across the street. A small non-explosive “warning” missile was fired at the building minutes before the main strike, but the family did not know of the warning or have time to flee.

RELATED MATERIALS:
Israel’s rhetoric is all about precision attacks but attacks with no military target and many civilian deaths can hardly be considered precise. Recent documented cases in Gaza sadly fit Israel’s long record of unlawful airstrikes with high civilian casualties.
Sarah Leah Whitson, Middle East director

(Gaza) – Israeli air attacks in Gaza investigated by Human Rights Watch have been targeting apparent civilian structures and killing civilians in violation of the laws of war. Israel should end unlawful attacks that do not target military objectives and may be intended as collective punishment or broadly to destroy civilian property. Deliberate or reckless attacks violating the laws of war are war crimes, Human Rights Watch said.

DISASTER OVER PALESTINE/THE REFUGEE PROBLEM AND THE IDEOLOGY OF TRANSFER

 

by Astrid Essed Wednesday, Jun. 27, 2007 at 3:03 AM

 

In contrary with the allegations of zionist non-deniers, the expulsion of the Palestinians in 1948 and 1967 was no ad hoc war-crime, but a yearlong deliberate planned strategy

BLOCKADE ON GAZA/CRIME AGAINST HUMANITY

 

by Astrid Essed Wednesday, Feb. 13, 2008 at 2:44 PM

 

With the whole or partly blockade on Gaza, the Israeli authorities are guilty of crimes against humanity

 

No electricity, people are going hungry, no bread, and no medicine and lots of things that are missing. people are out in the streets now calling for the world to end the starvation and siege. It might be that people’s only option is to break out the borderline and go to Egypt and get food. It’s scary here. no bread, no water at home where I am. I have some leftovers biscuits from two days ago. but my laptop batteries will be flat soon. I will find a new agency from those who have electricity generators to recharge my laptop and keep online, if you don’t hear from me this is why. Again, I fear Israeli warplanes will bomb the people in the streets. people are in lines trying to find bread. I never seen this in all my 23 years life!´ Mohammed Omer”Only prompt, innovative and courageous political action can change the harsh reality of this long-standing occupation, restore normal social and economic life to the Palestinian people, and allow them to live their lives in dignity ”

HAMAS, FROM ISLAMIC REVIVAL MOVEMENT TO PALESTINIAN GOVERNMENT

 

by Astrid Essed Tuesday, Jul. 18, 2006 at 7:06 AM

 

In contary with the leading opinions of the American-European politicians and media, the aim of Hamas, calling by them the ”distruction” of the State of Israel, is not to kill or expell the Israeli-Jewish population, but to dismantle the zionistic State Model and to make an end to 39 year Israeli occupation and settlementspolicy

THE 60TH ANNIVERSARY OF ISRAEL/NOTHING TO CELEBRATE

 

by Astrid Essed Wednesday, May. 14, 2008 at 5:34 PM

 

In contrary to the outburst of festivities among zionists and their adherents, regarding the ´´celebration´´ of the 60th anniversary of the State of Israel, for the Palestinian victims of the etnic cleansings in 1948 and 1967 and the continuing occupation, there is nothing to celebrate Remember the Naqba

ISRAELI ATTACKS ON GAZA/DIRTY WAR ON THE PALESTINIAN CIVILIAN POPULATION

 

by Astrid Essed Saturday, Jan. 10, 2009 at 8:43 AM

 

By their unlawful and systematic character,combined with the blockade of Gaza, housedemolitions and extrajudicial executions, the Israeli attacks on Gaza are a dirty war against the Palestinian civilian population

WESTERN DIPLOMATS WALK OUT OF AHMADINEJAD SPEECH AT DURBAN II/HYPOCRISY AND VIOLATIONS

OF HUMAN RIGHTS

 

by Astrid Essed Friday, May. 01, 2009 at 1:18 PM

 

Not only the Western boycott of Durban II and the attitude on the Ahmadinejad speech lacks a fundamental respect for fundamental human rights, it is also hypocritical seeing in the light of her implicite support for the Israeli regime of occupation, letting get Israel away with human rights violations and war-crimes

“

Forcibly evicting tens of thousands of Bedouin from communities where they have lived for generations cannot be justified in the name of economic development or any other reason – Israel’s new leaders must have the courage to venture where previous governments have ignored human rights standards

”
Ann Harrison, Middle East and North Africa Deputy Director at Amnesty International
Sat, 20/04/2013

Israel’s new government must drop a proposed law that would lead to mass forced evictions of Bedouin people and instead pursue legislation to protect Bedouin housing rights, Amnesty International said, as the Ministerial Committee on Legislation is due to consider the proposal on Sunday.

[Electronic Intifada]/Palestine activists call on Netherlands prince to dissociate from JNF waterproject

PALESTINE ACTIVISTS CALL ON THE NETHERLANDS PRINCE TO DISSOCIATE

FROM JNF WATERPROJECT

(Anne Paq / ActiveStills)

Palestinian boycott activists are calling on the Netherlands’ Prince Willem-Alexander to reconsider his decision to lend his name to a water project undertaken by the Jewish National Fund Netherlands in the Naqab/Negev desert in the south of present-day Israel. The project is in honor of the prince’s inauguration as king later this month.

Omar Barghouti, a Palestinian human rights activist and a founder of the boycott, divestment and sanctions movement, told The Electronic Intifada: “The [JNF] has played a key role in the dispossession of the Palestinians and in colonizing their lands. Today, [the JNF] continues its explicitly racist practices against Palestinians and rejects any notion of equal rights for all. Palestinian civil society appreciates the prominence that equality and non-discrimination have in the Dutch constitution and based on this, appeal to Prince Willem-Alexander to reconsider his decision to lend his name to a project of the JNF.”
