Whats up with all this Nazi bullshit by the Hamas fanboys? It obviously has nothing to do with reality and just spams what could be good bash fests on Israel.
Anyway, don't take those international human rights organizations too seriously, mostly they are harbors for extreme left which is hostile towards Israel anyway. Didn't see Amnesty yelling when thousands of rockets hit Israel over 8 years, nor did I see them saying anything to Hizballah over their aggression. And then you've got UNWRA, which went even further and actively helped Hamas in their fighting with Israel during Cast Lead (which reminds me, UNWRA is an aid agency set up JUST for the Palestinians. How come the rest of the world can do with ONE agency, but the Palestinians need their own?).
FUD FUD FUD. The many human rights organizations that all agree on the many abuses that Israel commits in the occupied territories are not at fault if you have selective vision.
http://www.amnesty.org/en/library/a...a-407e-93e3-cd88f7a57c26/mde210042009eng.html condemnation of Hamas for executions. I Didn't even bother searching for 'HAMAS' in the search. I just looked at the page regarding the Palestinians Authority. You can go ahead and look at the website, I'm sure its your first time taking a peek.
They seem to very clearly condemn, in tandem, any actions committed By Hizbollah here. Again I simply took a link from a quick search. I didn't even have to delve deeply. Looking further would reveal more - that is the great part about these types of organizations: they don't purposely ignore HR violations because it suits your political purposes

Both sides to this conflict have shown a blatant disregard for the laws of war and civilians on both sides are paying the price as war crimes abound, Amnesty International said today.
Of course, only the Zionist who is guided largely by ideology and a fictional version of history sits there and criticizes groups like Human Rights Watch, Btselem, Amnesty International, International Red Cross, etc. etc.
Its only the "extreme radicals" that try to spread information, like when Israeli Settlers cut down Olive Trees and steal the harvests...but conveniently the police always say that the perps are unknown.

If you weren't a radical, then you'd choose to be quiet and then chastise only the Palestinians, right?
So put these aside too; As well as the Human Rights Council of the UN, led by countries of glorious freedom such as Libya, China and Egypt.
Yes, because somehow oppressing Palestinians, advocating forced transfer, and continuing to perpetuate a system of apartheid is all about glorious freedom. Of course, we don't need to look at the UNHRC...go look at general voting patterns on many issues. I suppose that only the US, Israel, and the frequent token islands of Micronesia, Marshall Islands, Nauru, and Palau stand up for freedom?
And don't worry, fanboys. Israel isn't losing public opinion at all; Muslims see to that daily, like the Fort Hood terrorist. In Europe grow a new generation of right wing leaders who enjoy public popularity just for one cause - stopping the Muslim immigration - guys like Hirt Wilders, so Europe will probably be much friendlier towards Israel in the upcoming years. Also Markel, Sarcozi and the British Conservatives are all very much more friendly to Israel than in the past.
Israel is losing plenty of PR and needs to engage in as much hasbara as possible. The reality is that it HAS to engage in obfuscation and throw up smoke screens all over so the radical government can continue to dominate and oppress the Palestinians. You got to hand it to the Israelis - the dominant Mid East superpower casts itself as an honest peace partner that is afraid it will get squashed. Riiight.
Jstreet (I don't agree with their motives, but atleast they appear to me much more serious about reaching a real 2 state solution) has come in and literally shaken the establishment. Activists like Anna Baltzer are finally getting more public exposure. People like Phillip Weiss and David Horowitz get a piece published in Newsweek. Even formally PEP (Progressive Except Palestine) groups, like COPINK, had their view shaken in Gaza and are now firmly planted politically on the issue rather than quietly ignore it. Of course, many of these people are Jews, and its somewhat sad to see that it seems you can't be a non Jew and comment on the issue publically...but it is changing. It will take more time to try mobilize and counter 50+ years of far right AIPAC influence, but I have no doubt that things are finally mobilizing in the other direction after so many years of languish; Palestinians and the peace movement need those Jew.
If you still doubt- look no further than the recent resolution condemning the Goldstone report. As sad it the result was, this vote shows the small changes that are taking place: 36 'present'/'nay' votes....want to take a guess at Lebanon War Resolutions Final Talley just a few years back (here is a hint: 400+ yes vote)?
OR just take a look at what transpired between January and now.
http://mondoweiss.net/2009/11/post-gaza-the-lobby-lost-46-votes-in-the-house.html
H.RES.34 (JAN 09): 390 yeas, 5 nays, 22 presents, and 16 no votes.
H.RES.867 (NOV 09): 344 yeas, 36 nays, 22 presents, and 30 no votes.
Now, then, to the matter at hand:
1. Can anyone show data supporting the claim that Israel stops the Palestinians from digging wells? Might be smuggling tunnels we're talking about?
2. What about contradicting the Israeli spokesman about the number of digging projects authorized compared to what's been performed in reality?
Unfortunately the Palestinians have grown to be a gang of leeches, living off international support, can't do shit for their own good, filled with corruption (billionaire Arafat) and hate. Very easy to blame Israel for everything, shooting rockets with one hand while relying on Israeli infrastructure (water, electricity) with the other.
You can't ignore the facts that Israel already approached them several times and offered them sovereignty which they turned down, while imposing unrealistic demands (right of return as an example), just to stall the process.
I like this. Discount every single human rights organization in a few sentences (which is a simple task for you!), and then come forward asking for proof, while pointing to official Israeli statements stating otherwise! Genius!
Ultimately, 15 years after the Oslo process which began as an initiative to create a peaceful, prosperous Palestinian state, Israel had to resort to military means to get a strong hold on the Palestinians and can now live with this situation forever. The Palestinians can't, but they're too collectively stupid for their own good.
Israelis used to think they must have peace to progress economically; 15 years of Intifadas together with Hamas fine attempt at rocketry only showed the average Israeli that peace is very far away. So now they are left to fuck with one another, while Israel gave them a proper beating during Cast Lead (did you notice how quiet it is now?).
Obviously population under siege (or as some of the idiots here claim, under "ethnic cleansing") wouldn't have the highest reproduction rate in the world.
Anyway, this situation can go forever. Either that, or the Palestinians can put their weapons down and negotiate a peace deal. They won't get exactly what they want, but why should they?
Wonderful short piece with racist and prejudiced overtones weaved into a fantastic story of epic proportions. Let me guess - Palestinians purposely fled from their homes in '48 to make way for Arab armies coming in, right? They were announced on radio that was broadcast all over the region, right? ( *hint hint* only a blind and deaf Zionist would actually believe that B.S. from early Zionist propagandists...errr historians. Of course, sometimes people take a while to grow up and see the truth, as evident by the same B.S. that is repeated in fabrications like 'From Time Immemorial', which were published decades are refutation of these types of ridiculous myths).
It is really about wanting equal rights for Palestinians, the end of occupation, the end of apartheid, and full realization of self determination - be it in a one state or two state solution. Of course, you can't seem to comprehend that part because you are still stuck in the primitive, one dimensional perspective of Leon Uris.
