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

2008/Blockade on Gaza/Crime against humanity

 

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

ISRAELI ATTACKS ON GAZA/DIRTY WAR ON THE PALESTINIAN CIVILIAN POPULATION

 

by Astrid Essed Saturday, Jan. 10, 2009 at 8:43 AM

 

By their unlawful and systematic character,combined with the blockade of Gaza, housedemolitions and extrajudicial executions, the Israeli attacks on Gaza are a dirty war against the Palestinian civilian population

2009/Western diplomats walk out of Ahmadinejad speech at Durban II/Hypocrisy and violations of human rights

 

WESTERN DIPLOMATS WALK OUT OF AHMADINEJAD SPEECH AT DURBAN II/HYPOCRISY AND VIOLATIONS

OF HUMAN RIGHTS

 

by Astrid Essed Friday, May. 01, 2009 at 1:18 PM

 

Not only the Western boycott of Durban II and the attitude on the Ahmadinejad speech lacks a fundamental respect for fundamental human rights, it is also hypocritical seeing in the light of her implicite support for the Israeli regime of occupation, letting get Israel away with human rights violations and war-crimes

“

Forcibly evicting tens of thousands of Bedouin from communities where they have lived for generations cannot be justified in the name of economic development or any other reason – Israel’s new leaders must have the courage to venture where previous governments have ignored human rights standards

”
Ann Harrison, Middle East and North Africa Deputy Director at Amnesty International
Sat, 20/04/2013

Israel’s new government must drop a proposed law that would lead to mass forced evictions of Bedouin people and instead pursue legislation to protect Bedouin housing rights, Amnesty International said, as the Ministerial Committee on Legislation is due to consider the proposal on Sunday.

[Electronic Intifada]/Palestine activists call on Netherlands prince to dissociate from JNF waterproject

PALESTINE ACTIVISTS CALL ON THE NETHERLANDS PRINCE TO DISSOCIATE

FROM JNF WATERPROJECT

Demonstrators in Jerusalem protest the Jewish National Fund’s colonization projects in the Naqab/Negev desert, February 2011.

(Anne Paq / ActiveStills)

Palestinian boycott activists are calling on the Netherlands’ Prince Willem-Alexander to reconsider his decision to lend his name to a water project undertaken by the Jewish National Fund Netherlands in the Naqab/Negev desert in the south of present-day Israel. The project is in honor of the prince’s inauguration as king later this month.

Omar Barghouti, a Palestinian human rights activist and a founder of the boycott, divestment and sanctions movement, told The Electronic Intifada: “The [JNF] has played a key role in the dispossession of the Palestinians and in colonizing their lands. Today, [the JNF] continues its explicitly racist practices against Palestinians and rejects any notion of equal rights for all. Palestinian civil society appreciates the prominence that equality and non-discrimination have in the Dutch constitution and based on this, appeal to Prince Willem-Alexander to reconsider his decision to lend his name to a project of the JNF.”

Crimes Against Humanity and Ethnic Cleansing of Rohingya Muslims in Burma’s Arakan State
APRIL 22, 2013
This 153-page report describes the role of the Burmese government and local authorities in the forcible displacement of more than 125,000 Rohingya and other Muslims and the ongoing humanitarian crisis. Burmese officials, community leaders, and Buddhist monks organized and encouraged ethnic Arakanese backed by state security forces to conduct coordinated attacks on Muslim neighborhoods and villages in October 2012 to terrorize and forcibly relocate the population. The tens of thousands of displaced have been denied access to humanitarian aid and been unable to return Verder lezen →

Human Rights Watch/Burma: Rohingya Muslims face humanitarian crisis

 

 

BURMA: ROHINGYA MUSLIMS FACE HUMANITARIAN CRISIS

Fears of Long-Term Segregation of Displaced Population
MARCH 26, 2013
Burmese government restrictions on aid to Rohingya Muslims are creating a humanitarian crisis that will become a disaster when the rainy season arrives. Instead of addressing the problem, Burma’s leaders seem intent on keeping the Rohingya segregated in camps rather than planning for them to return to their homes.
Phil Robertson, deputy Asia director
