Congratulations Palestine and Shame on the United States and Israel.

Its great news that the United Nations has recognised observer status for the Palestinian delegation despite the objections of the United States, Israel and seven other nations around the world. I see that the American Ambassador to the UN thinks this is a step backwards and that it will hinder the peace process. Well Madam Ambassador, there is NO peace process. Would you negotiate with a person who entered your house in the dead of night, was stealing your possessions and killing your family? Of course not. there would be nothing to negotiate. Yet the American Government thinks that the Palestinians should sit down quietly and negotiate while Israel is actively stealing their land, killing their people and assassinating their leaders. Madam Ambassador, get it into your head, THERE IS NOTHING TO NEGOTIATE OVER. When the State of Israel removes all its citizens from Palestinian lands, removes the illegal blockade of Gaza and stops assassinating Palestinian citizens around the world, there might just be something to negotiate over, but until that happens, there is no point in negotiating. At least now the Palestinians can take legal action in the International Court of Justice against the State of Israel for the many illegal actions that have been committed against it over the past 60 years.

The right to assassinate, yes or no?

An Israeli spokesman today insisted that Israel has the right to assassinate anyone around the world that it deems a threat to its security. If this is correct, it means that the Government in Gaza also has the right to assassinate anyone it deems as a threat to its security. What is good for the goose is good for the gander. Or is Isreal saying that it alone by some divine right, has the right to assassintae anyone it doesnt like, but no body else has that right? Wake up Israel, no country or organisation has the right to assassinate anyone that it doesnt agree with, just because they have a different opinion from Israel. Assassination is against Criminal and International Law, whether you are Israeli, Russian, Lebanese, American or from anywhere. Readers of this blog please feel free to add your comments.

Message for the Israeli Prime Minister on history, Gaza and Palestine.

I have just heard the Israeli Prime Minister say that Hamas is committing war crimes by firing rockets into civilian areas of Israel and by hiding their rockets behind civilians in Gaza and that they have a right to retaliate. Well Mr Prime Minister, Israel is also committing illegal and criminal acts against International Law by the following which allows the citizens of Gaza to retaliate, 1.instituting an illegal blockade of Gaza so as to starve its people of food and medical supplies, 2.bombing civilian targets in Gaza, 3.using cluster bombs against civilian targets, 4.boarding international shipping in International Waters and assassinating people on board these international vessels, 5.sending terrorists into foreign countries to assassinate foreign citizens, 6.forging foreign passports to be used by Israeli terrorists, 7.sending terrorists to assassinate scientists in foreign countries, 8.invading foreign lands and annexing those lands, 9.expelling citizens in annexed lands from their lands, 10.building settlements on those annexed lands for your own citizens, Mr Prime Minister, when the State of Israel recognises that the people of Palestine and Gaza have a right under International Law and the United Nations to their own country, then maybe Israel might also be able to live in peace. But while you deny the rights of people to live in peace in their own country, you also must expect those same people to fight you to achieve their freedom. It was Israel that first started terrorism to force the British out of Palestine who were the legal governing power under the United Nations, so don't start now saying that the Palestinians cannot use those same tactics you taught them to fight for their own freedom.
