UN Secretary Ban Ki Moon reacted violently on the [second] Israeli
attacking of a UN School, calling it a ”criminal act”.
Even die hard ally and arms supplier, the USA,  were ”appalled” by
the ”disgraceful” shelling of the UN School.

Gaza Solidarity Action/Statement of Solidarity with the Elbit Rooftop Occupiers/No Arming Israeli criminal Regime of Occupation

GAZA SOLIDARITY ACTION/STATEMENT OF SOLIDARITY WITH THE
 ISRAELI CRIMINAL  REGIME OF OCCUPATION
Dear Fighters of Justice,
Hereby I express my solidarity with your courageous
owned subsidiary of the Israeli military company, Elbit Systems,
is fully responsible for the Israeli warcrimes and crimes of
humanity in Gaza.
It´s a shame and disgrace that your government as well as mine
are still cooperating with the murderous IDF gang, your
EU as a whole turns a blind eye to Israel´s crimes.
Therefore all of them have  blood on their hands.
But we will not let them get away with this and go on with the struggle,
in solidarity, untill the Palestinian people is really free.
Israel, the occupying power, has to withdraw from the Palestinian
territories, dismantle the illegal settlements, break down
the illegal Wall and acknowledge the Palestinian right of return.
Dismantling of the zionist apartheid State!
One free Palestinian State for all its inhabitants,
Israeli, Palestinians and others.
INTIFADA, INTIFADA, FOR A FREE PALESTINE!
In solidarity
Astrid Essed
Amsterdam
The Netherlands

(Human Rights Watch)/Israel/Palestine/Unlawful Israeli Airstrikes Kill Civilians

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.

[2006]Reflections on some aspects of the political-military career of the Israeli prime minister Sharon

REFLECTIONS ON SOME ASPECTS OF THE POLITICAL-MILITARY CAREER OF THE ISRAELI

PRIME MINISTER SHARON

 

 

Introduction:
Dear Readers,
Undoubtedly you are being informed of  the recenty started discussion by the Western media and polticians, about the real or alleged contribution of the Israeli prime-minister Sharon to peace in the Middle-East-conflict.
Immediate cause is the execution of the Gaza-disengagement-plan last year, by which the Gaza-settlements were evacuated, like four settlements on the Westbank.
In the underlying article I’ll try to emphasize on the fact, that according to my opinion, either the Gaza-disengagement-plan, or any other political and military measure of Sharon has contributed in any respect on a serious and just peace in the Middle East.
Further I’ll pay special attention to another very relevant aspect of the political-military carreer of Sharon, which is threatened to be greatly ignored in the discussion about his real or alleged peace-contribution, namely the human rights violations and war-crimes, for which he was responsible during his political and military career
I think it is of utmost importance, that those human rights violations and war-crimes, which testify of the lack of respect for the most elementary human rights, are not forgotten

[Human Rights Watch]: Israel: Ariel Sharon’s troubling legacy

 

ISRAEL: ARIEL SHARON’S TROUBLING LEGACY

 

Evaded Prosecution Over Sabra and Shatilla Massacres

It’s a shame that Sharon has gone to his grave without facing justice for his role in Sabra and Shatilla and other abuses. . His passing is another grim reminder that years of virtual impunity for rights abuses have done nothing to bring Israeli-Palestinian peace any closer.
Sarah Leah Whitson, Middle East and North Africa director

(Jerusalem) – Ariel Sharon died without facing justice for his role in the massacres of hundreds and perhaps thousands of civilians by Lebanese militias in the Sabra and Shatilla refugee camps in Lebanon in 1982. The killings Verder lezen →

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
