		<description>The essay seemed well thought-out, and the logic reasonable, until I reached the part where Israel&#039;s violations of Palestinian rights are documented by &quot;respected organizations such as The International Red Cross&quot;; that&#039;s when I knew to stop reading.</description>

		<description>mary,i haven&#039;t been under a stone
just returned in fact from a wonderful 2 week vacation in israel.
it really is inspiring to see the rapid progress the country is making.
popped down to gaza to see my friend ismael haniyah. he told me about the sewage problem and he said that they had to use the metal drains for rocket tubes. such is life when rocket parts are in short supply.
he assured me that the tidal currents takes the sewage over towards egypt and north africa so the israelis shouldn&#039;t have too much of a problem.he blames the egyptians anyway for closing the rafah border so he doesn&#039;t care about them.
anyway,glad to see i was missed</description>

		<description>The area demanded by the Sherif of Mecca was all of Arab (and then some) Southwest Asia.  Only belatedly, very belatedly, did the Brits try to say that the Promise did not include Palestine.  There are maps - and when I come back from a trip - I will find one.</description>

		<description>I see &#039;our friend&#039; has resurfaced from under his stone. I do not believe anyone is &#039;blocked&#039; on this site but if he was, then he can block off for good.

Note the emphasis in the headline of this BBC report. 
Gaza sewage &#039;a threat to Israel&#039;   The sewage might harm the Israelis!
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/middle_east/8236733.stm

Then on Uruknet the life (or rather death) of the fishermen which the BBC fail to report. They are much keener on their endless Winton Train (the UK Schindler) live broadcasts from the train with the wailing violin music playing in the background to the tearful interviews with the passengers.  &#039;Very emotional&#039; said the BBC presenter with great feeling this morning as the latest episode finished.
http://www.uruknet.info/?p=m57606&amp;hd=&amp;size=1&amp;l=e

The BBC are reporting  just now that settlement building will continue as before - a two fingered salute with knobs on,  to put it crudely, to Obama from Netanyahu and Lieberman.  What price the &#039;peace process&#039; now and what will Mitchell and Clinton think up next to procrastinate and prevaricate?

		<description>So much for Obama. It&#039;s &#039;Up Yours&#039; from the Zionists.

Israeli prosecutor&#039;s office says West Bank settlements should be retroactively legalized  
Saed Bannoura - IMEMC News

September 3, 2009

In two separate court cases heard in Israeli court on Wednesday, a representative for the State Prosecutor&#039;s office issued statements that certain settlements previously considered illegal under Israeli law will now be retroactively legalized. The statements could indicate a major policy shift for the Israeli government, and a major rebuke to the US President&#039;s recent push for a settlement freeze.

The move came just days after a group of mayors from West Bank settlements met with members of the Israeli Prime Minister&#039;s office to demand that all West Bank settlements be recognized, legal or not.

Shaul Goldstein, one of the settler leaders who took part in that meeting, threatened the Prime Minister&#039;s Director General, &quot;Everything is in the hands of the prime minister, and there will be no hesitation to do battle with him.&quot; Goldstein and the other settler leaders complained that they felt humiliated by the potential for a settlement freeze, arguing that they should be allowed to build and expand the settlements in the West Bank.

The issue of Israeli settlements in the West Bank has been a source of friction between the US administration of Barack Obama and the Israeli administration of Binyamin Netanyahu, both inaugurated earlier this year. Over 500,000 Israelis live in settlements constructed in contravention of international law on land seized by military force in the West Bank and East Jerusalem, most of whom moved there after the Oslo Accords were signed in 1993 forbidding any further Israeli encroachment onto Palestinian land.

But Israeli forces have willfully ignored the directives of the Oslo Accords, the Fourth Geneva Convention and UN Resolutions, continuing to protect Israeli settlers&#039; expanding developments on Palestinian land. The Israeli government has differentiated between what it terms &#039;legal&#039; and &#039;illegal&#039; settlements, implying that some are acceptable under Israeli law, while others are not. All of the settlements are considered illegal under international law.

		<description>Thank for mentioning this here.  However, I looked into it and it seems to me it was a ‘promise’ given by Henry McMahon on behalf of the British Government to secure cooperation of Arabs for an attack against the Turks and disintegration of the Ottoman Empire.  Besides, there was a fierce rivalry amongst great powers including Germany and Russia to have influence in Persia, Iraq and Arabia.  

This ‘promise’ supposes to give assurance to support the independence of the ARABS IN ALL THE REGION WITHIN THE LIMITS DEMANDED BY THE Sheriff of Mecca and it was not specifically about Palestine, where most of these promises were nothing but lies which still people’s lives are affected negatively as a result of that today.

		<description>Shabnam -The Hussein-McMahon correspondence of 1915 guaranteed the freedom of Arab southwest Asia from foreign occupation - that means Palestine.  It predates the Balfour Declaration - a betrayal of the British promise to Arab elites.</description>

		<description>I don’t know how much Dan  knows about  intension of  British Empire  when he writes: 
“The British had promised the Palestinian elite their national independence.”  

We know Palestine reserved for the European colonists who adopted Judaism many centuries ago in Europe and had NO CONNECTION EITHER WITH PALESTINE OR THE REGION. 
This was given to the colonists on behalf of Rothschild family, according to Balfour declaration. Do you have any document  showing  the same for  Palestinian?  
Then, of course, it would have been odd since Palestine was already populated with Palestinians for the past, at least, 21 centuries continually.  That&#039;s why we say Palestine has been stolen.

I did not find this article unfair, however, I tried to expose the Zionist liars who dare to go everywhere with their lies to buy ‘sympathy.’   I have given an example in my post where I know what I am talking about since the same liar, Roya Hakakian, is exposed already by other Iranians.
How much do you know about Shireen Ebadi?  It seems to me your information is based on the media propaganda and not based on evidence.  Do you know Payman Akhavan?  If you knew him, you would not have written these words about Ebadi.  Akhavan is close to zionifascists in Canada and is a NED agent who manipulates information to engineer  ‘documents’ against enemy of zionism and imperialism , such as Sudan, Iran, Russia and other countries.  Ebadi has been given Nobel peace prize so  a voice can be created in Iran for the West, otherwise, Shireen Ebadi would not cooperate  with the agent of NED, (CIA) and Canadian ‘rights and democracy’,  twin sister of NED in Canada where Akhavan is on its board,  and other intelligent services of the West in Europe against Iran.

Michael Barker has this to say about Shireen Ebadi:

[It is also noteworthy that Ganji was detained by the Iranian government for just over a year in April 2000 &quot;following his participation in an academic and cultural conference held at the Heinrich Böll Institute&quot;. This is a major German ‘democracy promoting&#039; organization that inspired the creation of the NED. Finally, it is interesting that Shirin Ebadi, the 2003 Nobel Peace Prize winner, &quot;formally asked to represent the family&quot; of Zahra Kazemi. This is noteworthy because Ebadi is a director of the Points of Peace Foundation - a Norwegian based human rights organization whose advisory board includes a large number of ‘democratically&#039; linked individuals.]

Michael Barker believes ‘Human rights’ organizations of the West are manipulative and phony and they  hype problems in the targeted countries without paying attention to the root causes of these problems, where majority of them are created by the illegal sanctions to create unemployment and dissatisfaction to destabilize the country,   to form public opinion against targeted countries for regime change. 
People of Canada have this to say about Payam Akhavan who runs a campaign of lies and deception against Iran on behalf of zionism and the empire:
[Mr Akhavan did not respond to my email.
Dear Mr Akhavan;
Certainly Iran is doing some bad things, but the presentation you were a part of this morning smells of propaganda. The Iran Holocaust conference was not the Holocaust Denial conference(as you stated), and yes Mr Duke was a member of the KKK a long time ago, but there were no KKK members as you stated.
Meanwhile Israel is given a pass by the CBC for it’s ongoing atrocities. What do you think of this discrepancy? The former head of the Canadian Jewish Congress is the appointed head of the CBC, and we now have a heavily Zionist slant to the reporting of Israel vs Palestine and the demonization of Iran.]

		<description>It must be so frustrating for you that most Americans spend their day worrying about paying their bills and feeding their children rather  than sitting around talking about how a &quot;small minority&quot; of Jews is ruining the world.

Most of your movement, are angry, dysfunctional, childless people who live alone and are underemployed because they have too many useless college degrees.</description>

		<description>This is a very good article.   There is much labelling on the part of Yafa and Shabnam, and simplistic analysis.   The Palestinian Arabs supported Britain against the Ottomans because the Ottomans were occupiers and the British had promised the Palestinian elite their national independence.  In the same way Arabs and Irish supported the Nazis against Britain.  Is Shanam supporting the Ottoman occupation?  He is biased against the west, but not all ideas of freedom and justice come from the west, and not all western ideas are bad.  Shirin Ebadi articulates the values and hopes of many Iranians.   All cultures borrow from each other, none is &quot;pure&quot; so Shabnam is naive.  Much of western culture is borrowed, and many westerner thinkers are studying all over the world for new ideas to solve problems.   Yafa might have been discriminated against.  Copts are, as are all women.  I knew a really sweet young Arab couple in the US who left because the husband could not get a job as an electrical engineer because he had an Arab name - during the first intifada.  The making of Israel by taking Arab land only increased Arab discrimination against Jews.   The Berbers have also been discriminated against by Arabs, and are still being culturally squashed, intellectuals murdered etc.  That does not mean that we should fund Israeli abuses.  It is impossible to see Palestinians faring well and flourishing in a single state from the way Israel is now, so a single state is not the solution.  Israel already has 70% of the land, it baffles me why they use the religious excuse and the ascension to power of primitive settler ideology to grab the rest.  If the get a single state they will still have hostile borders from which they can be attacked - they need to stop getting our money and realise the compromises they need to make in order to make a valid place for themselves in the region.</description>
		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This is a very good article.   There is much labelling on the part of Yafa and Shabnam, and simplistic analysis.   The Palestinian Arabs supported Britain against the Ottomans because the Ottomans were occupiers and the British had promised the Palestinian elite their national independence.  In the same way Arabs and Irish supported the Nazis against Britain.  Is Shanam supporting the Ottoman occupation?  He is biased against the west, but not all ideas of freedom and justice come from the west, and not all western ideas are bad.  Shirin Ebadi articulates the values and hopes of many Iranians.   All cultures borrow from each other, none is &#8220;pure&#8221; so Shabnam is naive.  Much of western culture is borrowed, and many westerner thinkers are studying all over the world for new ideas to solve problems.   Yafa might have been discriminated against.  Copts are, as are all women.  I knew a really sweet young Arab couple in the US who left because the husband could not get a job as an electrical engineer because he had an Arab name &#8211; during the first intifada.  The making of Israel by taking Arab land only increased Arab discrimination against Jews.   The Berbers have also been discriminated against by Arabs, and are still being culturally squashed, intellectuals murdered etc.  That does not mean that we should fund Israeli abuses.  It is impossible to see Palestinians faring well and flourishing in a single state from the way Israel is now, so a single state is not the solution.  Israel already has 70% of the land, it baffles me why they use the religious excuse and the ascension to power of primitive settler ideology to grab the rest.  If the get a single state they will still have hostile borders from which they can be attacked &#8211; they need to stop getting our money and realise the compromises they need to make in order to make a valid place for themselves in the region.</p>

		<description>[The recent cuts to the Canadian Arab Federation’s funding by Citizenship and Immigration Minister Jason Kenney. The punitive action taken by Minister Kenney is a denial of the fundamental freedoms and rights which are guaranteed in the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.]
Mr. Corrigan: The zionists in Canada, like in the US, have strong influence on foreign policy regarding the Middle East and North Africa.   They have strong presence in many phony Canadian  “Human rights” organizations to control the dissident voice in favor of zionism and Israel.  Their strong ally, Baha&#039;is has kept hidden from the public.
The ‘leftist’ groups, including Green Party, are either ignorant or try to hide, since many in the position of leadership are CLOSET ZIONISTS,  therefore, only Christian right is known to people not the  Baha’is. 
It was reported in the National Post on 3/14/2009: “Immigration Minister Jason Kenney says the Canadian Arab Federation will have to change its leadership and adopt a more moderate stance or risk losing federal funding
However, Mr. Kenney has been on a crusade for the past two years to slander, discredit and dictate to Arab and Muslim Canadians who they can choose as their leaders. This crusade was conducted with the open support of Canadian Zionist organizations and is in the context of current Canadian government policy to defend Israeli human rights abuses and war crimes. 
Kenney, in his speech at the “Anti- Semitism Conference” at Lancaster House, London, England on Feb. 17, 2009 slandered the Canadian Arab Federation and the Canadian Islamic Congress as “organizations that either excuse violence against Jews or express essentially anti-Semitic sentiments” and express “hateful sentiments”.
The Canadian Arab Federation president, Khaled Mouammar, calls Federal Immigration Minister Jason Kenney a “professional whore” for supporting Israel.

This  professional whore has close relation with another professional whore who believes  Iranian Leaders must not be allowed entry into Canada,  the same as zionofascist Kenney who  ban Galloway entery to Canada because he supports Hamas, where was elected by  Palestinians in a free elections.  On the other hand the professional whores, Kenney and Akhavan, call the Iranian election fraud’ and Akhavan is trying to take Iranian leaders to ICC because this professional whore thinks that the Iranian leaders have committed war crimes.  
Akhavan and Roya Hakakian, a zionist Jew and her Husband who is in the business of velvet revolution cooperating with Gene Sharp and Peter Ackerman, have established “Iranian documentation center for violation of Human rights” with NED financial support, more than 1.5 millions, to produce the required ‘documents.’

On the other hand, these professional whores, Akhavan and Kenney, give strong support  to Monarchists and former Pasdaran turned pro ‘HR,’ Akbar Ganji, a charlatan, where both are seeking ‘regime change, to help Israel and the United States to achieve their goal in the region. Jewish Lobby was behind the war in Iraq, and now wants another war against Iran to establish ‘the greater Israel.’

Baha’i was originated in Iran (Persia) and has strong connection with the great powers to expand their interest in the region for the interest of Baha’ism. The Bahia leaders have received supports and awards from their master, British and other powers, for their services and have given strong support for the creation of state of Israel.  They have STRONG CONNECTION WITH ZIONISM AND ISRAEL.  They use the victimization card, like Zionist liars, to expand their interest.  They have strong program to bring more convert to their house, house of justice, where no justice can be found.  I was, personally, approached by Baha’i many times when I was in school to become Baha’i but I refused.
Following the sufferings of the Iraqi Muslims at the hands of the rebellious Baha’is, the Ottoman government upon a request by the Iranian ambassador in Istanbul Mirza Hussein Qazvini, who later became the chancellor, exiled the Babis to the remotest areas of the Ottoman territory. They were later sent to Adrianopole where the Babis refer to as the… secret land. It was in Adrianopole where Bahaollah laid claim to Bab’s mantle as the Awaited One and rejected his brother Mirza Yahya Sobh-e Azal.   When the seditious role of the Babis was revealed to all foreign governments, the French decided to take advantage as well. To this end, the deputy consul of the French embassy secretly met Bahaollah and held talks with him. It was in this meeting that the French official, according to Kavakeb-ud Dorriyeh, asked Bahaollah to apply for French citizenship so that they could support him. It is obvious that the objective of the British and French governments by offering citizenship to Bahaollah was to dispatch him to areas such as India on behalf of the British and to Algeria on behalf of the French governments in order to promote schism in Muslim land. 
After the Azalis and Bahais split, Mirza Hussein Ali was sent into exile to Akka(Palestine) where he stayed until he died in 1892 and was replaced by his son Abbas Affendi.
During the leadership of Abbas Affendi, the Ottomans were embroiled in military hostilities with the British, and since Abbas Affendi was an advocate of the British government, he would collect military information in Akka and Haifa. He would also provide the English forces with the required foodstuff.
After the Ottomans found out that Abbas Affandi and his followers were spying for the British government in Palestine and that he was a British mercenary, as Shoqi Afandi has asserted in his book Qarn-e Badi the commander-in-chief of the Ottoman government Jamal Pasha decided to execute Abbas Afandi for his espionage acts. But Britain in an open support for Abbas Affandi, commissioned the then Foreign Minister Lord Balfour to send a cable to the commander of the British corps in Palestine General Lord Allenby, stressing protection for Master Abdol Baha (Abbas Affandi), his family and his friends.
The possible arrest and execution of Abbas Affendi was reported to Lord Cruiseden by Jamal Pasha but General Allenby in a pre-emptive action, seized Haifa and cabled to London: “Palestine was seized today. Inform the world that Abdol Baha is alive.”
The British commander who seized Haifa in 1918 had been commissioned by the British Empire to meet Master Abdol Baha upon his arrival in Haifa and the British king DECORATEDE him with Knighthood.

The British Empire DOES NOT DECORATE A PERSON FOR NO REASON.  BAHA WAS THEIR A G E N T as many claim.  
Shoghi Effendi, was appointed head of the Bahá&#039;í Faith after Abbas Affendi, from 1921 until his death in 1957.  He was born in `Akká (Palestine), since the British allowed the Bahai to settle in Palestine against the will of the indigenous population, in March 1897.   Shoghi Effendi was related to the Báb through his father, Mírzá Hádí Shírází, and to Bahá&#039;u&#039;lláh through his mother, Ḍíyá&#039;íyyih Khánum, the eldest daughter of `Abdu&#039;l-Bahá. From the early years of his life, Shoghi Effendi was greatly influenced by `Abdu&#039;l-Bahá, who provided much of his initial training.  
The Baha’is, through Shoghi, played their role in establishment of Israel in the heart of ARAB LAND where no one voted for the partition of Palestine and establishment of a Jewish state, not even non Arabs such as Turks, Greeks, or Iranians.
On July 9, 1947, Shoghi Effendi received a letter from the chairman of the United Nations Special Committee on Palestine requesting a statement on the relationship, which the Baha’i¬ Faith has to Palestine and the Baha’i¬ attitude toward any future changes in the status of the country. 
Effendi gave the following response:
&quot;The position of the Baha’is in this country is in a certain measure unique: Whereas Jerusalem is the spiritual center of Christendom it is not the administrative center of either the Church of Rome or any other Christian denomination. Likewise although it is regarded as the second most sacred shrine of Islam, the most Holy site of the Muhammadan Faith, and the center of its pilgrimages, are to be found in Arabia, not in Palestine. The Jews alone offer somewhat of a parallel to the attachment which the Baha’is have for this country, inasmuch as Jerusalem holds the remains of their Holy Temple and was the seat of both the religious and political institutions associated with their past history. But even their case differs in one respect from that of the Baha’is for it is in the soil of Palestine that the three central Figures of our Religion are buried and it is not only the center of Baha’i¬&#039; pilgrimages from all over the world but also the permanent seat of our Administrative Order, of which I have the honor to be the Head.&quot;

Shireen Ebadi was not awarded Nobel Peace prize FOR NO REASON.   She is an agent of the West and has strong connection to Western Intelligent services (Human rights) along with Payam Akhavan a Baha’i, law professor at McGill University who was born in Iran and left the country at the age of 9.   Akhavan has strong connection and cooperation with the Zionist and racist Jason Kenney and the Zionist Jews in Canada and elsewhere and work as an agent using his expertise on behalf of the Western tools such as NED, ICC and on behalf of  Israel and Zionism.
Shireen Ebadi’s daughter is studying ‘Human rights’ at the same department that Payam Akhavan is teaching where has been reported she has also become a Baha’i under supervision of Payam Akhavan in Canada.
Ganji is the winner of Rights &amp; Democracy’s 2007 John Humphrey Freedom Award ($30,000).
In Canada he has been supported by the Zionist’s camp, Jason Kenney, Akhavan and Irwin Cotler.   They arranged a talk for Akbar Ganji on ‘Iran nuclear program’ where  Secretary of State for Multiculturalism and Canadian Identity Jason Kenney  made the introductory remarks, and Irwin Cotler, MP, Professor of Law and former Attorney-General of Canada, to respond to Mr. Ganji&#039;s talk. McGill law professor and former UN war crimes prosecutor Payam Akhavan chaired the discussion.
Payman Akhavan also is helping the Zionist in Darfur.
In August 2007, UN Watch director Hillel Neuer was the keynote speaker at the Save Darfur Canada rally in Montreal. Neuer spoke together with Gen. Lewis MacKenzie, former commander of UN peacekeepers in the Balkans; Prof. Payam Akhavan, international law professor at McGill, and former senior advisor to the Chief Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court; Simon Deng, a black Christian from the south of Sudan who was sold into slavery into the Muslim north; Miss World Canada Nazanin Afshin-Jam; and Ayaan Hirsi Ali, author of Infidel.

The biography of Payam Akhavan reads:
Payam Akhavan is a leading international lawyer and scholar of human rights.  He was the first war crimes prosecutor at the United Nations Tribunals for Yugoslavia and Rwanda, and served as counsel in several high profile cases, including the International Criminal Court proceedings against the Lord&#039;s Resistance Army commanders for forced conscription of Ugandan child soldiers. Dr. Akhavan is also the Co-Founder and President of the Iran Human Rights Documentation Centre. He has been selected by the World Economic Forum as a Young Global Leader for his contributions to human rights. Dr. Akhavan earned a Doctorate in Juridical Sciences from Harvard Law School. He has taught at Yale Law School and currently teaches at McGill University in Montreal.

		<description>Mark - The only people in the US who can reach US Jews (who in turn pretty much run US policy toward Israel) are other Jews.  So it is the job of human rights/justice-minded Jews in America to push other Jews to the left.  Arab and Muslim advocates of Palestinians are viewed as self-serving,  Anglo-Gentiles are viewed as likely anti-Semitic or at best naive.  

Rachel Corrie, for one, is portrayed as the latter.  She is someone who was intimately involved with justice in Palestine.  There are many, many others -  but there are never enough.

Author Corrigan does mention a number of Israeli Jews who either live or work among Palestinians - Halper, Reinhardt and Langer come to mind.</description>

		<description>None of the people you mentioned helps Palestinian human rights. In order to help Palestinians you need to get involved in Palestinian politics and struggle for saving human lives from within.

In order to help Palestinians you need to get involved in Palestinian politics and struggle for saving human lives from within. Looking into the approach of Israel vis-a-vis human rights is misleading and everyone in this article including the author fail entirely and is not helping the Palestinians.</p>

		<description>Mulga - There will be no evidence for or against Yafa being stoned - so I&#039;m proceeding as if it was a minor personal revelations but irrelevent to the bigger picture.  Of course, all you say is true.  I just cut to the chase  - the case of land robbery, expulsion, and mass killings - before asking him what he wants.  In fact, that&#039;s what I want to know from all the Zyonz that post here - now that they have 100% of the country - what more do they want?</description>

		<description>B99, I think you give &#039;Yafa&#039; too much credence. Let&#039;s say I prefer to disbelieve her story of  discrimination in some unnamed Moslem state, unless and until some evidence is presented. Then one must take into account the malignant effects of Zionism, the evidence of the ethnic cleansing through massacre and terror of the Palestinians and the well documented efforts of Mossad to stampede Jews into fleeing their homes for generations and moving to the illegally occupied Palestinian lands. Even if true to any degree, any travail &#039;Yafa&#039; suffered is less than nothing compared to sixty years (and counting) of utter brutality that the Palestinians have suffered. 
                             And, of course, then there is &#039;Yafa&#039;s&#039; unbelievable hypocrisy in condemning the Palestinians for violence against the Israelis. I mean, the statement &#039;As a Jew, Ifeel bad for those who were born to a society that trives(sic) on violent (sic).&#039;,must go down to posterity as one of the most hair-raising inversions of reality and examples of projecting one&#039;s own faults onto others, ever. Not only have the Palestinians suffered vastly more violence, more death, injury, humiliation and dispossession courtesyof &#039;Yafa&#039;s&#039; Chosen People, but the vastly lesser pain inflicted by them on the Jewish colonists stealing their land is eminently defensible as resistance to racist aggression. I think the Zionist &#039;Megaphone&#039; must be running dry, if the best type of golem that they can mobilise to pollute this space is so ludicrously uninformed and, perhaps disingenuously, ignorant.</description>

		<description>Yafa - As sad as your personal plight was - you live on stolen ground.  You came to Israel or were brought to Israel because Jews from Europe expelled and killed the native population of Palestinian Arabs.  So now you have your country.  Why don&#039;t you let them have what remains of it.  Why must you have it all?  Do you realize that if you insist on having all of Palestine, then someday you will have none of it?  Why should Palestinians roll over and play dead for you?  What gives you the right?  Don&#039;t tell me God, it&#039;s not about God. Its about the US paying your way and covering for you in the UN - without which Israel would have to come to terms with its natives and neighbors virtually overnight.</description>
