Gaza: UNOCHA Report 6 August

DESPITE CEASEFIRE, HUMANITARIAN CRISIS
The first day of the 72-hour cease-fire, which entered into force on 5 August at 08:00, has passed without serious incident, as negotiations continue under Egyptian mediation to reach a more permanent agreement. Markets and shops gradually resumed operating as Gaza residents overcome fears from the experience of previous, short-lived pauses. Municipal workers and service providers are clearing streets and rehabilitating and repairing infrastructure. Many of the displaced have returned to check if their homes are still inhabitable or their contents salvageable. Medical and rescue teams succeeded in reaching previously inaccessible area and to recover the dead from under the rubble. Of growing concern are the thousands of explosive remnants of war which are scattered throughout civilian areas, posing a major threat to children, farmers, IDPs returning home and humanitarian workers

Gaza: UNOCHA report 2 August

HUMANITARIAN CRISIS, DIRE
Following yesterday’s collapse of a 72-hour humanitarian cease-fire brokered by the UN and the USA, hostilities intensified. The Rafah area in southern Gaza was subject to the heaviest shelling and fighting recorded since the start of the emergency, as well as the advancement of Israeli forces westwards into the most densely populated areas. According to Israeli media reports, these developments took place in the context of the Israeli army’s attempts to locate a soldier missing in action and reported to have been captured.

Gaza: UNOCHA Emergency Situation Report 29 July

29 July, 2014
The Gaza emergency enters its fourth week amidst a severe deterioration in the humanitarian situation. Last night witnessed one of the heaviest Israeli bombardments so far, resulting in dozen of additional civilian fatalities along with widespread destruction of civilian property. An external wall of Shifa, the largest hospital in the Gaza Strip, was hit and damaged, and another UNRWA staff member was killed, mounting to five UNRWA staff killed so far.

Gaza: UN agency situation reports

REPORTS FROM UN AGENCIES
These reports were published before the latest massacre: the intentional shelling of a designated shelter in an UNRWA school. The UNRWA insists it gave precise coordinates to the invaders, tried to work out a humanitarian escape for the refugees sheltering there. Israel refused, and claims Hamas wouldn’t allow the civilians to leave. The UNRWA denies this categorically. There are two reports here in summaries, with links to the entire reports and one article.The situation in Gaza, as you will read, is very dire for civilians. The number of dead and wounded is higher than noted since many more have been killed since the reports and article were published

Report of the Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Palestinian territories occupied since 1967

Implementation of General Assembly Resolution 60/251 of 15 March, 2006 Entitled, “Human Rights Council”
Special Rapporteur, John Dugard

Summary

Discrimination against Palestinians occurs in many fields. Moreover, the 1973 International Convention on the Suppression and Punishment of the Crime of Apartheid appears to be violated by many practices, particularly those denying freedom of movement to Palestinians.

The international community has identified three regimes as inimical to human rights – colonialism, apartheid and foreign occupation. Israel is clearly in military occupation of the OPT. At the same time elements of the occupation constitute forms of colonialism and of apartheid, which are contrary to international law. What are the legal consequences of a regime of prolonged occupation with features of colonialism and apartheid for the occupied people, the occupying Power and third States? It is suggested that this question might appropriately be put to the International Court of Justice for a further advisory opinion.

UN experts trace Klos C arms ship to Iran – en route to Sudan not Gaza

This finding is significant because the lying Jews tried to convince the world that Iran, the ancient, mature country that is measured and wise, was sending a shipment of munitions to Gaza, despite the Israeli illegal blockade of Gaza and its control of all border crossings into Gaza. The world did not ‘bite’ the poison apple of Israeli Jewish propaganda, much to its chagrin. The world is (once again) becoming wise to Jewish chronic lying and manipulative ways and is starting to ignore their stunts more and more, as we should. There are much more important matters upon which to focus, and one of those are the people who need protecting from the lying, brutally barbaric Jews of Israel: Palestinians.

Israeli settlers taking over Palestinian springs: UN report

19 Mar 2012 Agence France Presse

Jews diverting Palestinian water supply to steal it

Israeli settlers have taken over dozens of natural springs in the West Bank, limiting or preventing Palestinian access to much-needed water sources, a United Nations report said on Monday.

The report produced by the UN’s Office for Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) said at least 30 springs across the West Bank had been completely taken over by settlers, with Palestinians unable to access them at all.

How Dispossession Happens: The Humanitarian Impact of the Takeover of Palestinian Water Springs by Israeli Settlers

Jews diverting Palestinian water supply to steal it

In recent years, Israeli settler activity in the West Bank has significantly impaired Palestinian access to, and use of, a growing number of water springs. Springs are the single largest source of water for irrigation in the West Bank and an important coping mechanism for communities not connected to a water network, or poorly supplied, to meet domestic and livelihood needs. The main methods used by settlers to that end have been intimidation and threats, and the erection of fences around the targeted areas.

Treatment of Palestinian children in Israeli military custody

Israel routinely maltreats Palestinians and children in its custody, which has been observed and reported time and again over the years. Israel, of course, always denies any wrongdoing. When caught red-handed or the attention is too great (or it is in imminent danger of being caught), it simply refuses to cooperate with monitors. In fact, Israel refused to cooperate with the UN Human Rights Council for some years and only recently agreed to participate in a review. What follows are just a few of the many reports written by NGOs or UN agencies relating to the systematic brutal and illegal treatment (in some cases amounting to torture) of Palestinian children in Israel’s military custody.

Palestine loses $300m in trade taxes a year to Israel

UN report defines as ‘fiscal leakages’ [polite term for ‘theft by Israel’] the customs, purchase and value-added taxes destined to the PA but retained by Israel
3 September 2013 The Guardian
The estimated cost to the Palestinian Authority of the $300m leaked annually to Israel is equivalent to 17% of total tax revenue.

The Palestinian Authority is losing about $300m (£193m) a year in “leakage” of customs, purchase and value-added taxes which are not transferred to the Palestinian treasury by Israel, according to preliminary UN estimates (pdf here).

Questions to the Jewish Authorities in Palestine

The following is an excerpt of the letter dated 18 May 1948 from the assistant Secretary-General for Security Council affairs addressed to the Jewish Agency for Palestine, and reply dated 22 May 1948 by the Provisional State Council and the Provisional Government of the State of Israel addressed to the Secretary-General concerning the questions submitted by the Security Council
S/766 22 May 1948. The UN Security Council is keenly aware of the territorial boundaries of the new State of Israel, and that territory outside those boundaries remains the territory of Palestine.

QUESTIONS TO THE JEWISH AUTHORITIES IN PALESTINE

(a) Over which areas of Palestine do you actually exercise control at the present time?

(b) Do you have armed forces operating in areas (towns, cities, districts) of Palestine where the Arabs are the majority, or outside Palestine?

ICERD Panel Report on Discrimination in Israel and Palestine

Jadaliyya

Between mid-February and early March 2012, the Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination held its 80th session, in which it evaluated the compliance of several states with the 1966 International Convention on the Elimination of all Forms of Racial Discrimination (ICERD). Among these states was Israel, which became a party to the Convention in 1979. The Committee’s concluding observations and recommendations are notable because they establish that Israel’s policies in the Occupied Palestinian Territory (OPT) are tantamount to Apartheid, and additionally determine that many state policies within Israel also violate the prohibition on Apartheid as enshrined in Article 3 of the Convention.

UN Resolution 181: Partition Plan

Below is the full text of the ‘Partition Plan’ for the British Mandate Palestine (UN General Assembly Resolution 181). Note especially that it guarantees civil rights to all and very specifically delineates territory allocated to Jews and to native Palestinians. Keep in mind that this was explicitly referenced within both Israel’s and Palestine’s declarations of independence.

US General Patton saw for himself

We entered the synagogue, which was packed with the greatest stinking bunch of humanity I have ever seen. When we got about halfway up, the head rabbi, who was dressed in a fur hat similar to that worn by Henry VIII of England and in a surplice heavily embroidered and very filthy, came down and met the General (Eisenhower)…The smell was so terrible that I almost fainted and actually about three hours later lost my lunch as the result remembering it.

~ General Patton in Germany, diary entry Sept 17, 1945

Our most powerful weapon is racial tensions

We must realize that our party’s most powerful weapon is racial tensions. By propounding into the consciousness of the dark races that for centuries they have been oppressed by whites, we can mold them to the program of the Communist Party. In America we will aim for subtle victory. While inflaming the Negro minority against the whites, we will endeavor to instill in the whites a guilt complex for their exploitation of the Negros. We will aid the Negroes to rise in prominence in every walk of life, in the professions and in the world of sports and entertainment. With this prestige, the Negro will be able to intermarry with the whites and begin a process which will deliver America to our cause.

Complex matrix of control

Exploiting the genuine security related worries of the Israeli people and the majority’s wish for a political parting from the Palestinians, the Sharon government is constructing a system of fences that will not achieve separation, that will not draw a border, and that will not, eventually, bring security. What we are facing in the “fence” is yet another typical, thoroughly calculated “Sharonic” act of deception. The real purpose of the walls is very different. They are intended as another layer–maybe the ultimate one–in the complex matrix of control which constitutes the Israeli occupation: the settlements, the roads, the roadblocks, the curfews, the closures, and the use of brute military force. The walls that Sharon is building now are intended to render Israel’s hold over the land it captured in 1967 irreversible. They are the last nail in the coffin of the two-states solution. We shall wake up, in another year and a half from now, to a drastically different reality: a cruel state consisting of pens enclosures will stretch between the Jordan river and the Mediterranean.
