  1. Israel accused of possible war crime over killing of West Bank boy

    As part of an investigation into the conduct of Israel's security forces in the West Bank, which has been under military occupation for more than half a century, the BBC has pieced together what happened on the day the two boys were killed.

    Mobile phone and CCTV footage, information about the movements of Israel's military, witness testimony and detailed investigation of the scene, including taking measurements, combine to reveal evidence suggesting serious human rights violations.

    The evidence we found has prompted Ben Saul, UN special rapporteur on human rights and counter-terrorism, to say the death of Adam appears to be a "war crime".

  2. CAIRO (25 April 2024) – The Occupied Palestinian Territory is enveloped in a spiral of unstoppable violence, with stories Palestinians and other witnesses relay adding new depths to atrocities the world has witnessed since the beginning of Israel’s assault on Gaza over six months ago, the UN Special Rapporteur on the Occupied Palestinian Territory, Francesca Albanese said today.

    “The pace and intensity with which this violence has spread to the rest of the occupied territory confirms that no Palestinian is safe under Israel’s unfettered control,” Albanese said, concluding a visit to Egypt and Jordan.

    The Special Rapporteur said Israel had once again arbitrarily denied her access to the Occupied Palestinian Territory, compelling her to report on the situation of Palestinians under occupation from neighbouring states.

  3. Far-right allies of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu are raising pressure on the embattled leader to reject a new Gaza ceasefire, jeopardising his government's stability if he backs away from an assault on Hamas in Rafah.
    However, if a ceasefire is agreed, the attack plans will be shelved in favour of a "period of sustained calm", according to a source briefed on the talks, during which a few dozen hostages of Hamas will be released in return for Palestinian prisoners.
    On Sunday, Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich urged Netanyahu not to back away from a ground offensive against Hamas in Rafah, even as the premier is grappling with pressure from international allies to scrap assault plans due to the risk of high civilian casualties and a humanitarian disaster.
    But a ceasefire would be a humiliating defeat, Smotrich said in a video he released to the press and addressed to Netanyahu. If it fails to stamp out Hamas, "a government headed by you will have no right to exist," he said.

       It wasn't really a genuine question though was it , it was an allegation disguised as a question and you even answered the question yourself by ....................I have just written this in the previous post !!!!!! .

       It wasn't a genuine  question and that is why I didn't bother to answer .

    My turn now Jeff : So you want there to be a new Covid virus that only kills Jews and it is 100% effective and you want all Jews to be dead by the end of the year ?

       No wonder people think that you are an Anti Semite Jeff .

       My version back to you .

    I will be timing it to see how long it takes you to answer as well

       I do know what was written Jeff , I read it the first time that you posted it and also the for a second time when you reposted it and now I have read it a third time when you reposted it again .

       You were making an accusation and a statement , rather than asking a question as you claimed that myself wanting Palestinians to starve to death is a reason why Israel is hated  .

       Well , the answer to your question is : No , I don't want to see anyone starving to death  

     

    Fantastic, shame it has taken since 1.12pm yesterday to answer my question, I take it you now know what a ? means at the end of a sentence?

    While I have your attention I take it Mrs Falter's problem child who leads the Campaign Against Antisemitism issue about cancelling his "walk together" is now sorted ref "bottled it"?

  6. 4 minutes ago, Nick Carter icp said:

     

       I stated that the claims of Palestinians starving to death are false, because those claims have been being made for six months now and no ones yet starved to death .

       I stated that Palestinians are not starving to death .

    How did you manage to read that as myself wanting to starve to death ?

    Just reposting the exchange doesnt explain anything .

    How did to get from A to B 

     

    Yes you stated that Palestinians are not starving to death, and I asked you "So you want to see Palestinians starving to death?"

      Those civilians must be well hungry by now, they have been starving since October and still haven't died of starvation .

       Seems like the claims of starvation are not true , otherwise there would be some people starving to death 

     

    On 4/28/2024 at 1:12 PM, Jeff the Chef said:

     

    So you want to see Palestinians starving to death?

    And you wonder why people march against Israel.

     

    45 minutes ago, Nick Carter icp said:

     

     Jeff, could you answer my question and stop "bottling it" by not answering ?

     

     

    " Could you try and explain how you came to that conclusion from reading my post ?

    I stated that civilians  aren't starving to death

    You read it as myself wanting to see Palestinians starving to death .

    How did you logically get from A to B ?

    There is no connection between my post and your claim .

    It makes no sense "

     

     

     

    Read and understand, please.

     

    As for the "Bottled it" I clearly stated in my post and I quote: 

    Campaign Against Antisemitism has cancelled its planned counter-protest against a pro-Palestinian march through central London on Saturday.

    The group, led by Gideon Falter, had said it wanted to use the “walk together” initiative to support its view that the area around the planned pro-Palestinian march was not safe for Jewish people.

    But on Friday afternoon CAA announced that its event had been cancelled amid pressure from those within the Jewish community who feared it could backfire.

    Maybe you listen to the terrorists version of events too much, Israel is fighting this war (which they didn't start) with kid gloves on, they have minimised casualties as much as humanely possible. Hamas must take responsibility for the deaths in Gaza for without them there would be none.

     

    From the river to the sea everyone should be free, Jews, Christians, Muslims and non-believers.

      There was a group going to march to stop anti Semitism , you were celebrating that Anti Semite groups stopped them from marching .

       It is clear whose side that you are on 

    My side getting ready to march in London in our hundreds of thousands,  calling on our government & institutions to end their complicity with Israel's genocide in Gaza, as @BenJamalpsc explains

  12. It is important to  correct the thoroughly dishonest representation of the circumstances surrounding this incident that has been reported in recent days.

    Mr Falter is a prominent pro-Israel activist and leading member of the misnamed ‘Campaign Against Antisemitism’ (CAA), an organisation with an appalling track record of anti-Palestinian racism and Islamophobia. From its foundation, CAA has sought to conflate criticism of the state of Israel with antisemitism, something for which it was criticised by the 2015 All-Party Parliamentary Inquiry Into Antisemitism. Such conflation seeks to silence Palestinian voices by associating their call for justice and liberation with antisemitism, and to suggest that all Jewish people support Israel’s crimes. Both claims fuel rather than challenge racism and should be utterly rejected.

    CAA has also been widely accused of racism for its use of anti-Palestinian racist tropes and Islamophobic narratives including smears against the Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan. Since October, it has consistently sought to pressure the police and the government to ban demonstrations against Israel’s genocide, even calling for the army to be deployed to stop marches.

      This was a march to campaign against Anti-Semitism .

    You very much seem to be in favour of the other side, the Anti-Semites . 

    This wasn't  pro Israeli march , so you cannot hide behind the old "I just oppose Israel".

    This was a march against Anti Semitism and you support the Anti Semites who oppose the march 

     

    I'll oppose/support who I want, thankyou, if ever I need any help to decide who I support you will be the first to know, but don't hold your breath.

    This is a new topic to clarify that It did not decide that the claim of genocide was plausible."

     

     

    What was actually ordered by ICJ surely has to be noted, even on a new thread, clearly after reading what the ICJ ordered there is a case of Israel doing wrong, if you take account of Israel's actions since the Order was adopted.

    How about holding the entity accountable? With the amounts  of money involved, an outside auditor is needed. This agency has never been audited by any responsible party. There is no transparency. How the money is actually spent  in detail is never declared. That's one of the core issues. It is likely that large amounts of the donations are diverted into people's pockets or for activities not related to relief.

     

    CORE PROGRAMME BUDGET
    All contributions to the UNRWA Programme Budget go directly towards serving the Palestine refugees the Agency is mandated to protect and assist. UNRWA is committed to transparency and accountability, with sensible investment in fundraising and communication, and prudent expenditure on management support and administration.

    UNDERSTANDING THE UNRWA FUNDING STRUCTURE
    UNRWA is mandated by the General Assembly under resolution 302(IV) to respond to the needs of more than 5.6 million refugees in its five fields of operation until a just and durable solution is found to the refugee issue. Based on this mandate, UNRWA delivers essential services in the areas of education, health, protection, relief and social services, microfinance and camp improvement with the support of more than 28,000 national Palestinian staff members.
