Conclusions About The Middle East Peace Process

Fritz Edlinger, General Secretary of Society of Austro-Arab Relations (http://www.saar.at/) wrote: “A few days before the recent meeting of the Council of the European Foreign Ministers on Dec. 13 2010, 26 very prominent European ex-politicians confronted the EU with the demand for a significant toughening of the European Middle East policy. Unfortunately, the decisions of the EU foreign ministers hardly correspond with these demands. The EU has appealed for the n-th time to the Israeli government to take responsibility for legal obligations under international humanitarian law, for example in connection with the construction of settlements. This statement (of the EU) is most disappointing and unfortunately proves once again the degree of helplessness of the European Middle East policy. With this newsletter we distribute the “Call of the 26″ and the statement of EU foreign ministers. The full letter is below.

RE: Application of Council Conclusions on the Middle East Peace Process

The year 2011 will be of critical importance in determining the fate of the Middle East, perhaps for many years to come.

On 8 December 2009 the Foreign Affairs Council of the European Union adopted a set of twelve ‘Council conclusions on the Middle East peace process’. The resulting document, essentially a collective European blueprint for resolution of the Arab-Israeli conflict, set out the requirements for a comprehensive peace, inclusive of ‘a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict’, in a clear and concise manner. It also identified a number of benchmarks. The Council further recognized that Middle East peace ‘is a fundamental interest’ of not only the parties in the region, but also of the European Union itself. With this statement, the EU attracted considerable interest and raised expectations about its ability to advance the peace process. It formulated in effect what the overall international community, including the current administration of the United States, apparently believes is right.

It is now one year on and we appear to be no closer to a resolution of this conflict. To the contrary, developments on the ground, primarily Israel’s continuation of settlement activity in the Occupied Palestinian Territory (OPT) including in East Jerusalem, pose an existential threat to the prospects of establishing a sovereign, contiguous and viable Palestinian state also embracing Gaza, and therefore pose a commensurate threat to a two-state solution to the conflict.

Given this situation and the urgent need for action, we consider it a matter of fundamental credibility that the Council revisit the principles and requirements it enunciated in December 2009 and establish the next steps forward at its meeting scheduled for 13 December 2010. In addition to reconfirming the framework and principles it collectively adopted in December 2009, we consider it vital that the Council should also identify concrete measures to operationalize its agreed policy and thence move to implementation of the agreed objectives. Europe cannot afford that the application of these policy principles be neglected and delayed yet again. Time to secure a sustainable peace is fast running out.

Taking in turn the Conclusions reached by the Council in December 2009, we articulate below ways and means to translate these into actual policy.

1. As stated by the Council in December 2009:
The Council of the European Union is seriously concerned about the lack of progress in the Middle East peace process. The European Union calls for the urgent resumption of negotiations that will lead, within an agreed time-frame, to a two-state solution with the State of Israel and an independent, democratic, contiguous and viable State of Palestine, living side by side in peace and security. A comprehensive peace, which is a fundamental interest of the parties in the region and the EU, must be achieved on the basis of the relevant UN Security Council Resolutions, the Madrid principles including land for peace, the Roadmap, the agreements previously reached by the parties and the Arab Peace Initiative.

We welcomed the resumption of bilateral negotiations under American auspices in September 2010. Only a negotiated two-state solution will allow the security needs of both sides to be met. It gives us great concern however that the current talks lack a clear framework or terms of reference, and stalled almost as soon as they commenced, primarily on account of continued settlement construction by Israel.
Even if inducements to Israel to resume a partial settlement freeze for a limited period of time (such as the supply of sophisticated military equipment) enable talks to proceed, there is no guarantee that these will produce a substantive agreement resolving the conflict within the next year. Moreover these inducements include measures that Palestinians may well believe would limit their sovereignty in any final agreement.
It is eminently clear that without a rapid and dramatic move to halt the ongoing deterioration of the situation on the ground, a two-state solution, which forms the one and only available option for a peaceful resolution of this conflict, will be increasingly difficult to attain.

We believe this is a matter of utmost concern. We therefore recommend that the EU, in cooperation with the United States, United Nations, Russian Federation, League of Arab States and other interested parties, should put forward a concrete and comprehensive proposal for the resolution of this conflict, that includes a clear time frame for the successful conclusion of these negotiations on the basis of longstanding principles agreed by the above parties and the international community as a whole.

We believe the EU should at the December 2010 Council meeting set a date at which it will take further action. It could for example say that if there is no progress by its next meeting scheduled for April 2011, this will leave the Council with no alternative but to refer the matter to the international community to enable the latter to lead efforts to define a vision and strategy for a resolution of this conflict.

2. As stated by the Council in December 2009:
The Council reconfirms its support for the United States’ efforts to resume negotiations on all final status issues, including borders, Jerusalem, refugees, security and water, respecting previous agreements and understandings. The European Union will not recognise any changes to the pre-1967 borders including with regard to Jerusalem, other than those agreed by the parties. The Council reiterates the EU’s readiness to contribute substantially to post-conflict arrangements, aimed at ensuring the sustainability of peace agreements, and will continue the work undertaken on EU contributions on state-building, regional issues, refugees, security and Jerusalem. The Council underlines the need for a reinvigorated Quartet engagement and notes the crucial importance of an active Arab contribution building on the Arab Peace Initiative.

As indicated here the EU is committed to contributing substantially to peace-building and reinforcement once the parties are agreed on the details. However, the Government of Israel continues to undertake unilateral measures on the ground that will prejudge the outcome if not prevent the possibility of substantive negotiations on many of the final status issues identified above.
In response to these measures, we recommend that the EU reiterate its position that it will not recognize any changes to the June 1967 boundaries, and clarify that a Palestinian state should be in sovereign control over territory equivalent to 100% of the territory occupied in 1967, including its capital in East Jerusalem. Only minor and reciprocal amendments as may be agreed between the parties themselves could legitimately be recognised.

3. As stated by the Council in December 2009:
The EU stands ready to further develop its bilateral relations with the Palestinian Authority reflecting shared interests, including in the framework of the European Neighbourhood Policy. Recalling the Berlin declaration, the Council also reiterates its support for negotiations leading to Palestinian statehood, all efforts and steps to that end and its readiness, when appropriate, to recognise a Palestinian state. It will continue to assist Palestinian state-building, including through its CSDP missions and within the Quartet. The EU fully supports the implementation of the Palestinian Authority’s Government Plan “Palestine, Ending the Occupation, Establishing the State” as an important contribution to this end and will work for enhanced international support for this plan.

The Palestinian Authority has made impressive progress in the implementation of its Government Plan and the development of the infrastructure of a Palestinian state. EU support and assistance has been vital to this success. To date, the EU and member states have invested some EUR 8 billion in the peace process, primarily in the form of assistance to the Palestinian Authority, Palestinian institutions, and the development of infrastructure in the OPT. By continuing to be the primary donor to this work, the EU underlines the vital European interest in the establishment of a Palestinian state and the implementation of a two-state solution.

Because the Palestinian Authority exists and operates under Israeli military occupation, the Palestinians cannot be expected to establish their state without further international assistance, political as well as economic.
It is therefore our strong belief that the EU needs to act more pro-actively in its relations with the US, Israel and others to promote the fulfillment of this objective.

4. As stated by the Council in December 2009:
Recalling the EU’s position as expressed at the Association Council in June 2009, the Council reaffirms its readiness to further develop its bilateral relations with Israel within the framework of the ENP. The EU reiterates its commitment towards the security of Israel and its full integration into the region, which is best guaranteed through peace between Israel and its neighbours.

During the past twelve months, the EU has continued to develop its bilateral relations with Israel within the framework of the ENP, with additional support provided in other fora, such as Israel’s accession to the OECD. Yet Israel has continued with settlement construction in the OPT, including East Jerusalem, and refused to negotiate seriously on terminating occupation and the establishment of an independent and sovereign Palestinian state.

The EU has always maintained that settlements are illegal, but has not attached any consequences for continued and systematic Israeli settlement expansion in the OPT, including East Jerusalem.

We therefore strongly believe that the EU must make absolutely clear that enhancement or upgrading of the EU-Israel Association Agreement and other bilateral agreements and programs will not occur unless settlements are frozen.

We furthermore recommend in the strongest possible terms that the EU examine the legal implications for the EU of the continued application of bilateral agreements by Israel to Israelis and Israeli entities in the OPT, i.e. to areas outside the internationally recognized boundaries of the State of Israel. We consider it necessary that the EU add safeguard clauses to these agreements which rule out their application to Occupied Territories, to ensure that entities prohibited by international law and considered unlawful by EU policy, such as settlements, are excluded from European privileges and will not be promoted and legitimized by their provision. We consider it necessary that the EU bring an end to the import of settlement products which are, in contradiction with EU labeling regulations, marketed as originating in Israel. We consider it simply inexplicable that such products still enjoy benefits under preferential trade agreements between the EU and Israel.

5. As stated by the Council in December 2009:
Encouraging further concrete confidence building measures, the Council takes positive note of the recent decision of the Government of Israel on a partial and temporary settlement freeze as a first step in the right direction and hopes that it will contribute towards a resumption of meaningful negotiations.

The partial and temporary suspension of settlement construction by the Government of Israel expired in September 2010, and Israel has since then either resumed or announced construction of approximately 2,000 new settlement units, particularly in East Jerusalem and its environs.
The EU has stated unequivocally for decades that the settlements in the OPT are illegal, but Israel continues to build them. Like any other state, Israel should be held accountable for its actions. It is the credibility of the EU that is at stake.

6. As stated by the Council in December 2009:
Developments on the ground play a crucial part in creating the context for successful negotiations. The Council reiterates that settlements, the separation barrier where built on occupied land, demolition of homes and evictions are illegal under international law, constitute an obstacle to peace and threaten to make a two-state solution impossible. The Council urges the government of Israel to immediately end all settlement activities, in East Jerusalem and the rest of the West Bank and including natural growth, and to dismantle all outposts erected since March 2001.

The EU position could not be clearer, but – as we have argued above − failure to act accordingly, in the face of contraventions and disregard by Israel, undermines the EU and its credibility in upholding international law.

7. As stated by the Council in December 2009:
The EU welcomes Israel’s steps to ease restrictions of movement in the West Bank which have made a contribution to economic growth. The Council calls for further and sustained improvements of movement and access, noting that many check points and road blocks remain in place. The Council also calls on the Palestinian Authority to build on its efforts to improve law and order.

In respect of this Conclusion, the Council should indicate the extent to which it deems the parties to have met or fallen short of meeting their respective roles in enabling development of the Palestinian economy and the maintenance of law and order within the OPT.

8. As stated by the Council in December 2009:
The Council is deeply concerned about the situation in East Jerusalem. In view of recent incidents, it calls on all parties to refrain from provocative actions. The Council recalls that it has never recognised the annexation of East Jerusalem. If there is to be a genuine peace, a way must be found through negotiations to resolve the status of Jerusalem as the future capital of two states. The Council calls for the reopening of Palestinian institutions in Jerusalem in accordance with the Roadmap. It also calls on the Israeli government to cease all discriminatory treatment of Palestinians in East Jerusalem.

The situation in East Jerusalem has continued to deteriorate during the past year with, for example, forced evictions of Palestinian families from their homes, and today represents the most critical flashpoint and greatest threat to a resolution of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

We therefore believe that a high-level EU delegation led by the High Representative for Foreign and Security Policy and including EU foreign ministers should visit East Jerusalem as a matter of urgency to draw attention to the erosion of the Palestinian presence there, and report back to the EU with an agenda of proposals to arrest and reverse the deterioration of the situation on the ground.

9. As stated by the Council in December 2009:
Gravely concerned about the situation in Gaza, the Council urges the full implementation of UNSCR 1860 and the full respect of international humanitarian law. In this context, the continued policy of closure is unacceptable and politically counterproductive. It has devastated the private sector economy and damaged the natural environment, notably water and other natural resources. The EU again reiterates its calls for an immediate, sustained and unconditional opening of crossings for the flow of humanitarian aid, commercial goods and persons to and from Gaza. In this context, the Council calls for the full implementation of the Agreement on Movement and Access. While extremists stand to gain from the current situation, the civilian population, half of which are under the age of 18, suffers. Fully recognising Israel’s legitimate security needs, the Council continues to call for a complete stop to all violence and arms smuggling into Gaza. The Council calls on those holding the abducted Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit to release him without delay.
Having deemed the closure of the Gaza Strip ‘unacceptable and counterproductive’ and called for ‘full implementation of the Agreement on Movement and Access’ the EU should now find ways to open Gaza’s borders for normal trade, including between the Gaza Strip and the West Bank. Nowhere in the Council Conclusions of 2009 does the Council make such steps conditional on resolution of internal Palestinian disagreements over border controls. The EU could therefore take the lead on finding a temporary solution, pending the formation of a Palestinian unity government or other form of Palestinian agreement on the management of internal administration in Gaza.

10. As stated by the Council in December 2009:
The Council calls on all Palestinians to promote reconciliation behind President Mahmoud Abbas, support for the mediation efforts by Egypt and the Arab League and the prevention of a permanent division between the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, and Gaza. The Council would welcome the organisation of free and fair Palestinian elections when conditions permit.

The EU could contribute to a resolution of Palestinian disagreements by stressing that it is keen to promote a democratic Palestinian society through a process of nation-building (rather than state and institution building only) and by spelling out positive ways in which the formation of a Palestinian unity government inclusive of all parties committed to a ceasefire would be greeted, with development assistance flowing equally to Gaza and the West Bank.

11. As stated by the Council in December 2009:
A comprehensive peace must include a settlement between Israel and Syria and Israel and Lebanon. Concerning the Syrian track, the EU welcomes recent statements by Israel and Syria confirming their willingness to advance towards peace and supports all efforts aimed at the reactivation of the talks between the two countries.

In addition to re-iterating the substance of this Conclusion, the EU could also warn of the potential for the current crisis in Lebanon to spiral out of control and identify ways to help avert this.

12. As stated by the Council in December 2009:
The EU recalls that a comprehensive settlement of the Arab-Israeli conflict requires a regional approach and will continue its work on this in line with the June 2009 Council Conclusions using all its instruments to this effect. The EU also calls on all regional actors to take confidence building measures in order to stimulate mutual trust and encourages Arab countries to be forthcoming, both politically and financially, in assisting the Palestinian Authority and Palestinian refugees through UNRWA.

In conclusion, our Group wishes to point out that EU investment in building the foundations for a two state solution over the past two decades was very substantial, not least in terms of EU tax-payers’ money. The EU should take what measures it can to justify this investment and act in Europe’s genuine interest, but if no political progress is made, further expenditure − apart from that on humanitarian purposes − would be nugatory. In these circumstances Israel should be required to shoulder its obligations as the occupying power. But wider issues matter more than wasted expenditure. At stake are not only EU relations with the parties directly involved in the conflict but also with the wider Arab community, with which the EU enjoys positive diplomatic and trade relations.

We believe that many Arabs and prominent Israelis would like the EU to take a more active role in resolving the conflict and put its stated position into effect. Senior figures in the United States are also signaling to us that the best way to help President Obama’s efforts is to put a price tag on attitudes and policies that run counter to the positions that the US president himself has advocated. We see increased expectations everywhere that Europe will live up to its commitments and actively seek to share the responsibility with other members of the international community in working towards justice and peace at this critical moment.

Accuser of WikiLeaks Founder Absconded in Palestine

[use Open Image in New Window to see pictures in full enlarged]

Yanun village, district of Nablus where Anna Ardin/Bernardin is absconded now.

According to Palestine daily newspapers, Anna Ardin, also known as Bernardin, one of the two Swedish women who accused Julian Assange of rape, is now in the Palestinian town of Yanun near Nablus in the north of the West Bank and close to the Israeli apartheid wall. The Palestinian town is a center for international groups opposed to the Israeli apartheid wall. Yanun is a village under israeli siege since many years, because of its location and because of the vocal opposition of the inhabitants to the apartheid wall.

The Palestinian newspapers reported yesterday that Bernardin had reached the occupied West Bank in an attempt to help and search for a peace settlement between the Palestinians and Israelis. The newspapers added that, according to news published in Stockholm, that the rape allegations against Assange began to crumble after it appeared that one of the two women who accused Assange, Anna Ardin, was not cooperating with the prosecution. In the meantime, many facts indicative of foul play in this case have been uncovered and also questionable personal relations of Ms. Ardin/Bernardin relating to her political activity. Mr. Assange on his part is alleged by associates to have entered into a secret agreement with israel – no documents inconveniencing israeli interests have been published until now. Click on the picture to see it bigger.

According to comments made by Palestinians regarding the presence of the Swedish woman among them in Yanon, “those who can not make peace with themselves first will not be able to help the Palestinians build peace with Israel”. Regarding the presence of Ardin/Bernardin in Palestine, it was also remarked that “Palestine has become a place frequented by everyone under the pretext of supporting the prospects for peace and the Palestinians”.

Although we appreciate the efforts of the volunteers who come to support our nation and stand with us against the apartheid wall, it has become difficult for us to know who are the real supporters of peace and who are the infiltrators and intelligence agency plants among the peace activists who come to live and work among us in order to spy on our people and the peace movement in support of Israel and the foreign intelligence services.

If Anna Ardin/Bernardin has a dubious background as has been convincingly suggested about her in relation to the Assange case, then it would be better that she leaves Palestine alright. In this case I concur with my compatriots from Yanon that it would be better if Ms. Ardin/Bernardin returns to her home in Sweden and puts her personal affairs in order.

The Israeli Culture Of Drinking Urine

[use Open Image in New Window to see pictures in full enlarged]

Palestinian prisoners at Israeli jail

Issa Qaraqe’e, the Palestinian Minister of Detainee Affairs, revealed that Israeli soldiers urinated on two Palestinian minors who they had kidnapped, then jailed, forced to drink urine from a toilet, tortured and filmed while they were completely naked.

Hibah Masalhah

Minister Qaraq’e said that lawyer Hibah Masalhah visited the kids Mohammed Tariq Abed El-Latif Mekhemar, 13 years old, and Mohammad Naser Ali Ridwan, 13 years old, at the Rimonim prison. After her visit she stated that the Israeli occupation soldiers had forced both kids, Mekhemar and Radwan, residents of Beit Ur in the district of Ramallah, to drink the urine from the toilet. The soldiers then urinated on their faces while laughing and mocking them, another soldier shot pictures of the kids while they were naked.

Attorney Masalhah who met the kids in the Rimonim prison added that the children were arrested by the “Israeli border police” (an IDF unit of criminals and drugs dealers who are mostly Druze) near the apartheid wall in the village of Beit Ur (where they live) on Route No. 443, in July 2010. The IDF soldiers beat the children harshly, using guns and kicking them with their military boots on all over their bodies, then covered their eyes, tied them up and transferred them to a jewish colony near the village of Beit Ur. Masalhah said that the IDF soldiers took the children to a toilet and placed them naked in one room and put the air conditioner on cold.

The children told their lawyer Masalhah that the IDF soldier did not give them water and food, and when they asked for water, the IDF urinated over their faces and ordered them to open their mouths to drink. They then forced them to drink the water in the toilet seat and took some pictures.

The children spent two days naked in the toilet room at the squatter colony without food and water and they forced repeatedly to drink urine during their staying. They were forbidden from sleeping or putting their clothes on.

Issa Qaraqe’e

On the third day, the kids were transferred from the toilet at the “Benjamina” colony (Beit Il military base) where they were interrogated from 10 at night until 3 in the morning and after that they were transferred to the Ofer military jail, where they spent three months before being transferred to the Rimonim jail.

The lawyer stated that the children are suffering deep psychological stress due drinking the urine of the IDF and being filmed naked while the soldier were urinating over their faces and bodies.

It should be noted that many stories have been released in the past about IDF soldiers forcing Palestinian youths to drink their urine. In Hebron, the IDF soldiers stationed on Palestinian rooftops were urinating and dropping their feces in water tanks. Several families were infected with typhoid as a result; I know personally from the Jaber and Abu Monshar families which were infected with typhoid after drinking water contaminated with IDF feces and urine, and many more cases were related to me.

Click here to read more about the Israeli Culture Of Drinking Urine, click here to see video clip about Israeli culture of drinking urine.

This disgusting story is not an isolated incident. 15 years ago, 10 years ago, 8 years ago I reported about such incidents in Hebron. I was told in Hebron stories where soldiers would take the sandwiches from children going to school or from workers and return them with after having shat into them. Others have reported about similar stories from all over Palestine. When they israel destroyed Jenin in 2002, the soldiers defecated and urinated into photocopiers, printers, computers, such behavior is also known from house invasions and the destruction of public and private premises throughout Palestine. Most of the squatter colonies release their untreated waste water onto Palestinian fields and villages what has as a result that the groundwater is contaminated in most of the West Bank. These disgusting stories repeat so often that it becomes obvious that drinking urine and eating feces is an important part of jewish culture. Where did these israeli soldiers, who are all boys and girls from jewish families, learn to defecate into water tanks, into office equipment, on food, learn this, if not at home, where the culture is jewish? Why would all the squatter colonies let their waste water run untreated onto Palestinian villages and fields if it was not their culture to swim in fecal matter?

Israel espouses jewish customs and heritage, and obviously all these European jews want to teach us their culture, their custom of swimming in fecal matter, of eating feces and drinking urine. I can only say that all Palestinians find this jewish culture and heritage plain disgusting. It would be better if they kept their sickening culture to themselves and their shit-eating friends in the USA and elsewhere, for example by serving feces and urine at the receptions of their “embassies”.

Gods Anger Burns Israel

[use Open Image in New Window to see pictures in full enlarged]

Image from the Mount Carmel fire in Haifa.

Despite the help of many countries, who always cover up the zionist organization’s war crimes in Gaza and Palestine, God and the nature wanted to give Israel a taste of what they perpetrated against nature, children, old men and women in the besieged Gaza, in Palestine and Lebanon. A state of panic, dread, tension, and fear prevails in all villages and cities close to the Mount Carmel fire in Haifa. 35 firefighting aircraft from different countries work together in order to control the fire on Carmel which has hit dozens of Arab, Druz and Israel towns. The information which the Israeli police spokesperson spread in media does not fit with real losses and destruction caused by the fire. The Arab Israeli newspapers are reporting more honestly than what the English and Hebrew editions of Ha’aretz, Yediot Ahronot and Ma’ariv are publishing.

“When God’s wrath turns onto a nation, its winter becomes summer and its summer, winter”.

Not long ago, about two years, December 27, 2008 to Jan. 18 2009, Israel burnt Gaza. Tose were 22 days of death and destruction, 22 days bombing and dropping uranium, phosphor and other forbidden chemicals in the middle of civilians. 22 days of ethnic cleansing, of wanton murder and burning next to more than six years of military siege.

Last Thursday a huge fire hit the Carmel Mount in Haifa in the north of Israel, where the Israeli military set up a camp with small mock-up villages similar to towns in the south of Lebanon, after the second Lebanon war in 2006. This camp is for preparing the Israeli troops for a new war and mass destruction and war crimes in Lebanon and Gaza in the future. “Click on the picture to make it bigger”.

The fire has killed 41 people so far, among them 36 MILITARY JAIL WARDS (IDF), four of them were Druze from the so-called border police, destroyed more than 8500 acres of dry land, burnt more than million trees and forced 25,000 thousand people from 14 locations to flee from their homes. The fire hit the several villages and towns, Al-Thaharat area in Fureidis, Basmah Tabo’on, Ein Hod and moshav Nir Etzion, Beit Oren, Har Shokef Carmel Hai-Bar Nature Reserve, Sakhnin, Naser Safadi, and it also reached Isfiya, where Arabs and Druze reside. Earlier the flames reached the Carmel Forest Hotel. The unusually warm weather and the strong winds helped the fire approach the University of Haifa, which is located on the Mount Carmel hill in the southeastern district of Haifa.

Evacuating dead military personnel.

The images of the Israeli people who were evacuated from their homes in Haifa towns and villages are similar to the images of the Palestinians and the Lebanese who were forced to flee from the Israeli rockets and bombs in the second Lebanon war in 2006 and during the so-called “operation Cast Lead” in Gaza on Dec. 27 2008 – 18 Jan. 2009, with one difference: namely that the victims of Israeli war crimes in Gaza and Lebanon were hit with bombs while they were raising the white peace flags, others were gathered by the the IDF war criminals and murdered collectively, like what happened for example to the Al-Samouni family from Gaza.

[On Saturday, January 3, 2009, after Israeli war criminals took control of the al-Zaytoun neighborhood, the IDF soldiers ordered 100 Palestinian of Al-Samouni to gather in one house owned by Wael Samuni, then at 6:35 am on January 4, 2009 the IDF bombed the house repeatedly. A small number of survivors were able to reach the main street before being delivered to the hospital. About 70 Palestinian from the same family were killed in the massacre committed by the IDF]

Palestinian sources said that “the Palestinian civil defense and firefighters participated in the efforts to extinguish the massive fire that broke out in the forests of the Carmel Mountains near Haifa. The Palestinian Authority ordered that all the Palestinian newspapers must avoid publishing any statements, memories or comparisons between the fire which broke out in Haifa and the atrocities perpetrated by the israelis upon us. Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas called his counterpart, the Israeli “Prime Minister” Benjamin Netanyahu and expressed his condolences (on behalf of himself) over the deadly fires raging in northern Israel and the death of the Damon prison wards who were the jailers of so many Palestinians.

Military Troops on Carmel Mount

The israeli government and the police avoided the publication of news about the existence of the IDF training camp in the area, where in the course of training fires were lit in the forest of the Carmel mount. The Israeli Police arrested two brothers, aged 14 and 16, from the Druze Village of Isfia, who were at school when the fires broke out last Thursday at about 11:00.

IDF was training at Mount Carmel before the fire broke out.

Since the fire broke out, the Israeli Police is trying to call the attention of the public opinion to his “suspicion” that the fire was set deliberately, aiming the public suspicion at some young children and trying to stick the cause of the fire on their shoulders.

An Insult to Israel

The request for assistance from Israel, the “state” of occupation, nuclear weapons and war, which is used to burn the cities and civilians of other nations in the neighboring countries and in Palestine, which was sent by its Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to many countries, among them Azerbaijan, is a scandal and a self-proffered insult against israel.

Israel, which owns all the means of igniting fires in the whole world and which always thinks about acquiring more destruction equipment, and which under the pretext of “defending” itself has the ability to hit Iran and has previously striken Iraq, and last year bombed Syria under the pretext of “defending itself” was and is still not able to put out the fires on Mount Carmel. With this incident israel has finally shown itself as what we always knew it: a bloodthirsty gang of terrorists interested only in murder and pillage, to the extreme that they are not even able to take care of emergencies in their own backyard. Of course, as the psychopaths which they are, they knew that using the pity ploy would allow them to easily sponge the neighboring nations for their emergency resources.

The world, who stood by watching the burning of the Gaza children, towns, villages and refugee camps, now stands up to rescue the state of the Israeli war criminals, and to extinguish it’s fires. A huge Russian plane capable of holding up to 42.000 liters of water and 35 other aircraft from France, Turkey, Greece, Cyprus, Bulgaria, Spain, Britain, Russia, Azerbaijan, Romania and Croatia arrived in Israel. Egypt, Jordan and the Palestinian Authority, always denigrated in public by the israelis, also offered and sent help. The Russian aircraft tank was filled this morning with 80% of water and 20% of anti-fire chemicals. The estimated amount which Israel has of the anti-fire material is said by the media to be ONLY enough for 4 times of filling the Russian aircraft?! This is all of what the “Israeli state” which owns the largest amount of war and destruction equipment besides their nuclear weapons has. 45 tons of the chemicals with fire-fighting aircraft were sent by to Israel USA.

Curfew Imposed on Arabs In Isfiya

According to Arab sources from Isfiya, whenever the fire was put out in a certain area, it flared back and up again due to strong winds which changed speed. The people said that they are living in a state of silence, grief, and astonishment especially because the village Isfiya is isolated from the outside world after the cut of electrical power and the curfews which the Israeli police imposed on the citizen movements in the town.

As reported by the media, many nations ran to offer help to extinguish the fires which were lit by god’s anger and by the incompetence and irresponsibility bordering on the criminal of Israel. Once again the world fell for the pity ploy of these psychopaths and is helping them extinguish fires which probably resulted from military exercises in preparation for their next atrocity. When will the world learn to stop giving these criminals a pass? Were 150 million dead at the hands of the Bolshevik jews not enough for Russia? Were the horrors of the civil war with its millions of dead, instigated by Bolshevik jewish elements, not enough for Spain? Are the 120 years of atrocities perpetrated against us Palestinians not enough for the world? What will be needed for the world to see that Israel and all those who support her are to be avoided, frozen out, let to their own devices and to the will of God?

When Imprisoned Women Cry In The Dark

[use Open Image in New Window to see pictures in full enlarged]

The death of prison wards is a LESSON OF WISDOM.

It is the JUSTICE OF HEAVEN

When prisoned women cry the injustice of the prison wards, the darkness of the prison, the inhuman treatment, diseases, solitude and oblivion in the middle of the dark, then the mercy of heavens turns into a curse on the prison and the wards. The death there never is gloating, but in the death of prison wards is a lesson of wisdom. It is the JUSTICE OF HEAVEN.

Yesterday, more than 40 israeli prisoners were burnt to death after the bus which carried them to the Damon prison was amid the blaze which broke out on Mount Carmel in Haifa, in the north of Israel. Another 25.000 were evacuated from their homes. The cause of this largest wildfire in Israel (the land stolen land from the Palestinians) history, is the curse of the devil arisen from the Damon prison, where Israel held about 16 Palestinian women as political prisoners and more 450 Palestinian workers who had entered Israel in search of work without a so-called travel permit.

The Damon prison was built in 1953 as a store for tobacco. The building of the prison keeps a high degree of moisture, as it was designed to save the tobacco leaves. In the year 2000, the prison was closed because of the insalubrious conditions which are detrimental to the health for human beings. However, the Israeli government re-opened the unhealthy prison in 2001, one year after having closed it.

The about 450 Palestinian prisoners which include about 16 women as political prisoners are distributed in three sections. In one of them the Israeli occupation holds the prisoners under the age of 18 years. Another ward in the prison is for the criminal Israeli women who were involved in crimes of murder, trafficking drugs, and “immoral activities”.

The Damon prison is described as the worst prison known in the history of the Zionist occupation and occupiers. The facilities are very old and filled with mold and humidity, the water given to the prisoners is not clean and has yellow color, and is considered as unfit for human consumption.

40 Prison officers were killed

Since after the second Lebanon war in 2006, the Israeli military set up a military base and some small mock-up villages similar to Hezbollah towns in the south of Lebanon in the middle of the bush where the fire broke out. The army trains thousands of its troops in this place in preparation for a coming invasion of Lebanon. As a result of the fires, the army evacuated its military equipment from the bushes since yesterday night. They closed the area for journalists while they were transferring their equipment out of the area. A big possibility suspected by many is that the IDF set the fire on purpose in order to later get its hands on the area, where many Arab villages exist until today. Another possibility is that the radical settlers who are against the presence of the Arab villages set the fire.

Confrontation With PA Commissioner At UN

[use Open Image in New Window to see pictures in full enlarged]

Image from the the confusion.

During a Palestinian-Palestinian confrontation, between me and Dr. Nabil Shaath, the member of the Central Committee of the Fatah and its commissioner of international relations, who delivered a speech at the UN on the occasion of the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People, Dr. Shaath was not able to give a short answer to my question of about the so-called “security coordination” between the Palestinian Authority and the “DCO” office of Israel, in which the Palestinian security system is ONLY used for jailing Palestinians and protecting the terrorist jewish colonists and their zionist project in Palestine.

The speech of Dr. Shaath delivered on that day was interspersed with inane laughter was not right for the place and the occasion. It can only be described as clowning and demagoguery that did not rise to the level of responsibility for the Palestinian which is expected from someone in the position which Shaath occupies.

Mr. Nabil Shaat described the miserable situation of the Palestinian Authority and how President Mahmoud Abbas and his cabinet are not able to move between their cantons spread here and there in the West Bank without asking for permission from the Israeli occupation. He also described the difficulties which the PA faced during the so-called peace negotiation with Israel. Dr. Shaath was complaining and laughing at the same time, mixing between serious issues and his silly jokes during his official speech at the UN. He decried the miserable situation which the PA accepted and brought to themselves and their nation.

Image from the confrontation.

The image of the Palestinians which Dr. Nabil Shaath presented in his speech described the Palestinians as those who are powerless in facing the Israeli occupier regime. I told Dr. Shaath that the Palestinians are not weak as he described and that we would be able to do lots of things if the PA freed our hands. I demanded from him that the Palestinian Authority should stop its farce of the so-called “security coordination” with Israel, a spying mission in which the PA officials are turned into spies at the hands of the Israeli occupation and the Americans secret service.

I said: “I am happy because there are not many diplomats with us in this room so they do not hear what I want to tell you Dr. Shaath. We as Palestinians are able to do lots of things; I request and demand that you to stop your “security coordination” with the Israeli war criminals, and stop protecting them. This is the only thing that makes us Palestinians weak. I also ask you to stop jailing the Palestinian politicians and resistance. I see that your coordination with the Israeli war criminals ONLY puts you in the weak position. The Israeli occupation is using your authority to capture and to jail the Palestinian resistance.

Israeli checkpoint inculture. Will we see such images at European airports soon?

Again, I demand that you stop this kind of criminal coordination and see how Israel and the US will react. It is really horrible what you are doing in Palestine. You are continuing to deal with them from the position of a weak partner, while we are strong and those people who you meet and kiss in Ramallah headquarters are all war criminals. They came to my apartment to try to murder me where I live in Vienna because I am not listening to you or controlled by them. I am ashamed and bored of all what you are doing in Palestine. Over 23 years of negotiations with the Israeli occupation and all what we received is NOTHING. Don’t you have another qualified negotiator instead of Mr. Saeb Erikat who has stayed in his place as a negotiator since 23 years?”

The Irresponsible Answers And Confusion:

Image from the confrontation.

With loud laughter Dr. Shaat answered to my intervention that it was better if I continued photographing instead of talking. Ambassador Zuheir Al-Wazeer also intervened and said to me “you are a good photographer, and you make excellent photos”. His nervous laughter clearly reflected his confusion. Shaath replied to my confrontation with words which completely lacked any sensitivity and were totally off the subject. He mixed between things and caused himself to become involved into a confrontation with the Consul of the Republic of Syria, Mr. Jamal Agha, who was present at the event.

Shaath said that “he understood well my argument”, and then engaged in minute-long rambling: “but once the people decides to go in a military actions they go, but when they do not want to go to a military action they do not free the people to do so. This is not what Fatah is doing in the West Bank, but also what Hamas is doing in Gaza. You can’t allow people to shoot rocket when you are not ready to continue a fight against the Israeli occupation, like what happened in Gaza in 2009. You can’t allow people to go on their own and fight Israel in West Bank while there is a decision not to go to a military fight now, and if you are a Syrian you do the same at the Golan Height, and you do not allow people to go to the border to make war against Israel while the Syrian are not ready to do it”.

Image from the the confusion.

“You can’t allow the Egyptian to go the border to fight with Israel if you are not ready for that. You do not allow the Lebanese to go to the border to fight with Israel when there is no decision to do so, even Hezbollah will arrest and jail the people if they go to border to fight with Israel without a decision of going to a military fight”.

“I understand you that we have enough people at the Israeli Jails, and that we do not want to act like them and to put the Palestinians in Palestinian jails or the Syrian in Syrians jails. We have enough people at the Israeli Jails. I understand you but that is not really all about, there are two things which have to be considered, first: we do not want any political prisoners in Palestinian jails in Gaza and the West Bank. And second, we do not want the people to take the matter in their hands and to decide that they want to go to make war when their people are not really ready to fight that war.”

Hazem Shabat, a Palestinian Consul.

“In Gaza 25% of the homes are destroyed, and 50,000 Palestinians were injured, and 14 hundred were killed, and the Israelis if they decided to attack Gaza again, they can destroy the whole of Gaza if Hamas did not stop the people in jail who want to shoot on the Israelis, and this is the same in the West Bank, we have decided that this is not the right time to go in full military confrontation with the Israelis. We did that for 27 years plus 6 years of Intifada. All together 33 years we did the military confrontation with Israel, and now we are not ready for that. Because of this reason we decided to go in a popular struggle against Israel.”

I answered: “But you are still jailing the popular resistance Mr. Shaath, and you are protecting the Israeli occupation instead of your people, the Israelis continue killing, jailing and invading our towns and cities, humiliating the people, destroying their property under you supposed full protection, so who will protect me and the Palestinians”.

This long answer of Dr. Shaath was off topic. I just asked him to stop the so-called security coordination with the Israeli occupation and to use this paper as a pressure on Israel in order to stops its arrogance in dealing with the Palestinians who they treat miserably, even in small things like that President Mahmoud Abbas needs a travel permit from the occupation whenever he moves from his basement to another Palestinian canton or to so-called peace negotiations.

Sheikh Dr. Tayseer Al Tamimi, the former head of the Islamic judges, was fired by President Mahmoud Abbas

I also demanded from him to stop jailing the Palestinian politicians. Dr. Shaath is a big liar and the Palestinian jails are full of politicians and political activists, not of army. Even Sheikh Dr. Tayseer Al Tamimi, the former head of the Islamic judges, was fired by President Mahmoud Abbas on the 7 th, of June 2010 from his position after he delivered a speech about Al-Aqsa mosque, in which now all religious speakers are forbidden to talk about under the new instructions of so called “incitement against Israel” issued by the Palestinian Authority.

In Palestine there are no borders which Shaath should protect from a “military war”. There are cantons, ghettoes, and small jails where all Palestinian are humiliated by both the Israeli occupation and the PA puppets. During the 33 years which Shaat mentioned, there was no “military war” against Israel, there was ONLY resistance struggle against the Israeli occupation, which was taken up by the PLO and the people directly affected by the Israeli crimes. Either Dr. Shaat did not know what he was speaking, or he was sick and confused.

Confrontation with the Consul of the Republic of Syria

Mr. Jamal Agha, consul of the Republic of Syria

His irresponsible answer leads to a confrontation with the consul of the Republic of Syria, Mr. Jamal Agha. He told Dr. Shaath: “Please do not speak on behalf of others. I am from the Syrian Republic and I do not accept that you speak on behalf of us. Thank you”. The Syrian consul said that Syria does not jail their resistance, (meaning the Syrians from the Golan Heights who have been robbed from their possessions by jewish squatters who are supported by israel and several European countries). This was what the consul understood from the irresponsible ramblings of Dr. Shaath answering to my simple and clear request.

Dr. Shaath tried to clarify to consul Agha what he said about the Golan Height in his answer to my question. He turned the things upside down in his “clarification”, which is recorded on video, (the Palestinian Embassy does not want me to publish it). The Syrian Consul actually understood well what had been said. Dr. Nabil Shaath had said EXACTLY what the Syrian Consul had understood.

Ambassador Ali Asghar Soltanieh, Permanent Representative of the Islamic Republic of Iran

It should be noted that Dr. Nabil Shaath did not attend the formal session of the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People, just like many Ambassadors from Arab countries whose presence would have been welcome. Dr. Shaath was present at the informal event which took place during the morning at the UN Rotonda, where he gave a brief speech and then left for lunch. He arrived over one hour late to the formal ceremony in the UN conference center and proceeded to mix things up.

My impression is that Dr. Shaath does not understand or care much about the situation of Palestine because he is travelling most of time, or residing in Egypt where the problems far away. As a Palestinian I feel offended that Dr. Shaat, who formerly occupied the position of foreign minister of the PA, and currently the commissioner of international relations of Fatah, dishonors us by arriving late to an important occasion involving dignitaries from the nations which support us. Equally, I am consternated that he would call our resistance struggle against the occupation a “military war” and speak of “borders” which do not exist. I wonder if it is appropriate for him to continue representing Palestine to the outside world.

A Prosaic Speech Of Solidarity with Israel

[use Open Image in New Window to see pictures in full enlarged]

In a speech which was read at the UN on the occasion of International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People, Palestinian Ambassador Dr. Zuhair Al-Wazeer, on behalf of President Mahmoud Abbas, thanked the efforts of the United Nations and its support to the Palestinian people. The president urged the United Nations, represented by its Secretary-General, to continue in its efforts until they reach a comprehensive, lasting and just solution to the Palestinian cause which ends the Israeli occupation and enables the Palestinian people’s the right to self-determination

The Palestinian President called in the speech on the international community for action to compel Israel to abide by all resolutions of international legitimacy, which states for Israeli withdrawal from all Arab territories occupied in 1967, pointing out that the peace process and negotiations will not lead to results, but will only exacerbate the violence and extremism if Israel does not commit to the implementation of the UN resolutions of the Security Council No. 242 of 1967 and No. 338 of 1973, which are the basis for the peace process in the Middle East

President Abbas also called on the international community to put an end to all unilateral acts by Israel which undermine the peace process in front of Palestinian and global public opinion.

He said: “The essence of the conflict is the occupation and the settlements, and the time has come for the world to address the roots of this conflict to end the occupation and achieve the Independence State of Palestine, which we hope it will be a new active member recognized by the United Nations in the next year”. He added: “we assure you all that the United Nations and international legitimacy will remain the reference and sanctuary for us to take any decisions if all the efforts failed in the negotiations, which we assure you that we will do our best to make it success”.

The Palestinian president asked repeatedly in his long speech for the support the international community and the Arabs, most of whose representatives were absent from the event of solidarity with the Palestinian people. He said: “The Palestinian people derives its unwavering faith from the justice of their cause and your support and solidarity (he meant the support of the international community, most of whose representatives and ambassadors were not present at the official ceremony) and the support and the solidarity of all the brothers and friends (he meant the Arab countries, most of whose ambassadors and representatives did not attend the event of solidarity with Palestine this year or in the past three years).

The Palestinian President also asked the efforts of co-sponsors of the peace conference, including President Obama (who has repeatedly proved his incompetence and failure, and who clearly supports the zionist State through generous financial gifts of billions of dollars gifts of US arms and other destruction equipment banned internationally so that Israel accepts “temporarily freezing” their colonies in occupied Palestine). Abbas also begged the Russian and the European Union and Japan, China and the Non-Aligned Movement for support in the speech read on his behalf, and he did not forget to beg the support of all the so-called friends of Palestine … everywhere, particularly in the United Nations.

He ended his speech read by Ambassador Al-Wazeer on his behalf by sending a message to the Israelis: (the Zionists), saying that our hand will still be able to carry the dry olive branch from the rubble (he meant the ruins of neighborhoods which were destroyed by Israel in various cities of the West Bank, in occupied Jerusalem and the Gaza Strip, in the largest ethnic cleansing operation of Palestinian people in the history of the occupation). He added that “we will continue to extend our hand for just peace in order to secure a safe future for our children and the children of Israel”. (He meant the war criminals and the murderers children who crushed our nation in Gaza and the West Bank and who stole our land and built their Zionist organization).

Also, the previous sentence could be understood to mean that the PA will continue playing the game of “peace process” to ensure the salaries of the corrupt system of the Palestine Liberation Organization and until the Palestinian nation will not find one meter to negotiate about, which is when they will announce an end to the Palestinian National Authority and run away to other countries with all the money from their betrayal stashed in their bank accounts.

As a Palestinian I feel deeply sad and ashamed that the Palestinian Authority goes to the UN to ask for alms in my name, under the pretext of solidarity with a Palestine and a Palestinian people. Our rights are inalienable, based on international law, they are non-negotiable. Period. Our rights need not be asked or begged for, they do not depend on the benevolence of our Arab or other “friends”. I hope that in the future the representatives of Palestine will find a far more assertive tone, reminding the world that the time has come to trim back Israel and its supporters, what is certainly possible with very little effort. Israel has no standing in law or otherwise to exist. Also, every power in this world can be broken, and the apparent power of the zionists is no exception to this rule. Before this background and with this understanding it is that all future conversations regarding the future of Palestine should be held.
