UN To Grant Urgent Aid To Palestinian Victims Of Settler Violence

[Scurrilous]

The United Nations stated it is working on plan meant for providing emergency aid to Palestinian civilians in the occupied West Bank, victims of attacks carried out by extremist Israeli settlements; the aid includes compensation for bodily harm and property damage.

<snip>

"Israeli daily, Haaretz, has reported that the United Nations Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) is seeking aid from international organizations to provide the compensations based on criteria it is currently working on.

The sought aid is will not only be financial, and would be based on estimates done by the UN regarding the amount of damage inflicted in each individual case.

Haaretz said that the Palestinian Authority in the West Bank does not have the means to provide compensation for Palestinian victims of settler violence, and quoted an official stating that Israel is responsible for the settlers and their actions in the occupied territories.

The official told Haaretz that when the settlers for instance burn a mosque, there is no problem is raising money to repair it, but the real issue is raising money for individuals harmed by the settlers and their escalating attacks.

According to Haaretz, Palestinians who are hurt in Jewish nationalistic attacks in the occupied territories are not granted compensation from the state, as hate crimes law in Israel does not include those Palestinians."

[oberliner]

3. I wonder what our host thinks about it.

The implications are kinda ugly.

4. Yah, I don't think Israel is claiming Gaza, except the gas and fishing fields.

[Mosby]

5. The logo replaces Israel with Palestine

So the website believes that Israel is actually Arab land.

[delrem]

6. Oh, I thought it was the usual map of Israel, absolutely negating Palestine. go figure.

7. You didn't notice the colors?

Green in particular is the "official" color of Islam.

red, green and black are the Palestinian flag colors.

8. Green!!!! Well, that ought to threaten Israel! Those Palestinians ought to end the occupation!

9. Joke all you want

but the colors for the logo were clearly purposeful.

[delrem]

10. Purposeful? Unlike the real occupation, of course....

[azurnoir]

11. Isn't it odd how threatened folks seem by a drawing?

makes one wonder doesn't it?

[delrem]

12. It shows that Mosby knows exactly the evil that was done to the Palestinians.

13. the logo shows the true motives of IMEMC.

The elimination of Israel.

Something that clearly you and others don't want to talk about on a liberal board like DU.

14. why? we've seen what amounts to seperate but equal and continued military occupation

and colonization extolled by 'liberals' here, as to the 'true motives' you claim that ones popular too, especially when it comes to justifying the 2 items I mentioned

by the way red, black, and green are colors of the Palestinian flag and the entire region, what is is recognized as Israel and Palestine by most in the world used to all be Palestine

but I did find the manner that you seemed focus on green being the color of Islam without noticing the other colors um interesting

15. Ridiculous, but Freud would have a heyday.
