TO THE EMBASSY OF ISRAEL
YOUR SPONSORING OF ”SPOT ON
ISRAELI THEATRE”
THE AMBASSADOR
Your Excellency
I want to draw your attention for the following:
Recently I have .learnt, that you are one of the sponsors
of ”Spot on Israeli Theatre”, a cultural event, which has
been organised by the Stichting Rainbow.
Your involvement shows the official governmental interest
in this project.
Since the State of Israel, the country, that you represents
in the Netherlands, is a 47 years occupying country of
the Palestinian territories and Syrian Golan Heights,
I am of the opinion, that no cultural ties must exist
between Israel and other countries, as long as Israel
doesn’t obey the rules of civilisation and International
Law to end the occupation and respect the
fundamental human rights.

SOLIDARITY
for now have caused 1916 Palestinian deaths, destroyed thousands
Also in the international arena it had consequences:
Five influential South American countries, Brazil, Ecuador, Chile,
El Salvador and Peru, have recalled their envoys.
UN Secretary Ban Ki Moon reacted violently on the [second] Israeli
attacking of a UN School, calling it a ”criminal act”.
Even die hard ally and arms supplier, the USA,  were ”appalled” by
the ”disgraceful” shelling of the UN School.

Gaza Solidarity Action/Statement of Solidarity with the Elbit Rooftop Occupiers/No Arming Israeli criminal Regime of Occupation

GAZA SOLIDARITY ACTION/STATEMENT OF SOLIDARITY WITH THE
 ISRAELI CRIMINAL  REGIME OF OCCUPATION
Dear Fighters of Justice,
Hereby I express my solidarity with your courageous
owned subsidiary of the Israeli military company, Elbit Systems,
is fully responsible for the Israeli warcrimes and crimes of
humanity in Gaza.
It´s a shame and disgrace that your government as well as mine
are still cooperating with the murderous IDF gang, your
EU as a whole turns a blind eye to Israel´s crimes.
Therefore all of them have  blood on their hands.
But we will not let them get away with this and go on with the struggle,
in solidarity, untill the Palestinian people is really free.
Israel, the occupying power, has to withdraw from the Palestinian
territories, dismantle the illegal settlements, break down
the illegal Wall and acknowledge the Palestinian right of return.
Dismantling of the zionist apartheid State!
One free Palestinian State for all its inhabitants,
Israeli, Palestinians and others.
INTIFADA, INTIFADA, FOR A FREE PALESTINE!
In solidarity
Astrid Essed
Amsterdam
The Netherlands

Israeli military operation on Gaza ”Protective Edge”/Letter to mrs Ashton, EU Chief Foreign Affairs

ISRAELI MILITARY OPERATION ”PROTECTIVE EDDGE”/LETTER TO MRS ASHTON, EU CHIEF

FOREIGN AFFAIRS

 

TO MRS C ASHTON
HIGH REPRESENTATIVE OF THE UNION FOR FOREIGN AFFAIRS AND SECURITY POLICY
EU RELATION WITH ISRAEL IN THE LIGHT OF THE ISRAELI
ATTACK ON GAZA ”PROTECTIVE EDGE”
”The Union is founded on the values of respect for human dignity, freedom,
democracy, equality, the rule of law and respect for human rights, including
the rights of persons belonging to minorities. These values
are common to the Member States of a society in which pluralism,
tolerance, justice, solidarity and equality between women and men
prevail”
Article 2, Lisbon Treaty
”The Union’s action on the international scene shall be guided by the principles which have
inspired its own creation, development and enlargement, and which it seeks to advance in the wider
world: democracy, the rule of law, the universality and indivisibility of human rights and
fundamental freedoms, respect for human dignity, the principles of equality and solidarity, and respect for the principles of the United Nations Charter and international law.”
Article 21, Lisbon Treaty
Dear Mrs Ashton,
At the moment I am writing  to you, at least 1437 Palestinians,
in Gaza have been killed, since Israel started its military
operation ”Protective Edge”. [1]
Among those killed were 342 children.
According to sources in Gaza’s Ministry of health, 80
per cent are civilians. I fear this number will have
increased at the moment you read this letter.
The last horror I learnt was the Israeli attack on a UN School,
killing 15 and wounding 125. [2]
On Israeli side, there were three civilian victims,  two Israeli  and a
Thai worker.
No less deplorable, but, like the conflict, assymetric.
Those killings, with the high civilian toll, are not only horrible,
but stem chiefly from Israeli indiscriminate attacks and
extrajudicial killings [3], which are serious breaches of
International Humanitarian Law, failing to make
a clear distinction between combatants and non combatants.[4]

(Human Rights Watch)/Israel/Palestine/Unlawful Israeli Airstrikes Kill Civilians

ISRAEL/PALESTINE/UNLAWFUL ISRAELI AIRSTRIKES KILL CIVILIANS

 

Bombings of Civilian Structures Suggest Illegal Policy
JULY 16, 2014

  • An Israeli airstrike on this apartment building in Gaza on July 9, 2014, killed Amal Abed Ghafour, 30, and her year-old daughter, who were in their home across the street. A small non-explosive “warning” missile was fired at the building minutes before the main strike, but the family did not know of the warning or have time to flee.

    © 2014 Deema El Ghoul/ Human Rights Watch
RELATED MATERIALS:
Israel’s rhetoric is all about precision attacks but attacks with no military target and many civilian deaths can hardly be considered precise. Recent documented cases in Gaza sadly fit Israel’s long record of unlawful airstrikes with high civilian casualties.
Sarah Leah Whitson, Middle East director

(Gaza) – Israeli air attacks in Gaza investigated by Human Rights Watch have been targeting apparent civilian structures and killing civilians in violation of the laws of war. Israel should end unlawful attacks that do not target military objectives and may be intended as collective punishment or broadly to destroy civilian property. Deliberate or reckless attacks violating the laws of war are war crimes, Human Rights Watch said.

[2006]Reflections on some aspects of the political-military career of the Israeli prime minister Sharon

REFLECTIONS ON SOME ASPECTS OF THE POLITICAL-MILITARY CAREER OF THE ISRAELI

PRIME MINISTER SHARON

 

 

Introduction:
Dear Readers,
Undoubtedly you are being informed of  the recenty started discussion by the Western media and polticians, about the real or alleged contribution of the Israeli prime-minister Sharon to peace in the Middle-East-conflict.
Immediate cause is the execution of the Gaza-disengagement-plan last year, by which the Gaza-settlements were evacuated, like four settlements on the Westbank.
In the underlying article I’ll try to emphasize on the fact, that according to my opinion, either the Gaza-disengagement-plan, or any other political and military measure of Sharon has contributed in any respect on a serious and just peace in the Middle East.
Further I’ll pay special attention to another very relevant aspect of the political-military carreer of Sharon, which is threatened to be greatly ignored in the discussion about his real or alleged peace-contribution, namely the human rights violations and war-crimes, for which he was responsible during his political and military career
I think it is of utmost importance, that those human rights violations and war-crimes, which testify of the lack of respect for the most elementary human rights, are not forgotten
